SENTIMENT OF THE TRENCHES.

After hearing that some well mean
ing people in England were trying to
stop the soldiers ration of rum, sol
dier cut the following verses in the
chalk in one of the first line trenches
in Flanders:
suppose we re lot of heathens;
Don It live ON the angel plan;->
But we re sticking in the trenches
And doing the best we can.
While preachers over in BGghty,
Who rave about kingdom CONG,
Amt pleased with our ability,
And want to stop the rum.
Water, they saySwould be better;
Water 9Great God, out herel
Why, we re up to the knees in water,
Do they think we are standing in
beerf
Oh, it sounds all right in the pulpit,
When you sit on cushioned pew;
But try four days in the trenches,
And see what water will do.
Some of these eoffin-faced blighters,
1 think must be German bred,
It's time they called in the doctor,
For it IS water they have in the head
Don't forget the cranberry sauce.

CHANCES OF THE SOLDIERS

The Chicago Herald has compiled
these chances of the soldier at tn,
front. If you have relative or frienC
on the firing line, or who will be, reat
the Herald's statement and be com.
forted: "He has 90 chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed
He has 98 chances of recovering from
a wound to two chances of dying. He
has only one chance in 500 of losing a
limb. He will live five years longer
because of physical training. He is
freer from disease in the army than in
civil life. He has better medical care
at the front than at home. In other
wars from ten to fifteen men died
from disease to one from bullets. In
this war one man dies from disease to
every ten from bullets. This war is
less wasteful Of life than any other in
history"
This leads the Brockton Enterprise
to say. Don't pay SO much heed to
those lugubrious souls who are eager
to tel you that the war means that
your soldier or sailor boy is certain to
be lost He may not be; the chances
erc excellent that he will not be. The
chances are strong that he will return
safe and sound, and trimmer, more
athletic and more generally able and
resourcoful fellow than he would ever
have been had he stuck to civilian
life"
Furthermore, the soldiers of today |
will be the big men Of peace times
for years and years. They have shown
the real American spirit, because they
possess it. They vii forge ahead in
civil life, because they viii have de-
yeloped in the trials Of the camp, the
field and the trench the qualities which
win success. They will be the men
who will turn fer leadership in public
3ffairs.-Phoenix.

1t seems to us that it all depends on
the number Of half shells available for
egg-laying purposes, not counting
those required for oytsers and clans.
Everybody, Of course. knows that a
hen can't lay half eggs without half
shells to lay them in, and as the oyster
and clam season is now on in full
swing the demand for half shells is
increasing all the time, good deal
faster, we understand than the de-
mand for half eggs. For our part,
we never did care much for half eggs;
they always looked TO us as If they
had been tampered with, either in the
process Of manufacture or somewhere
between the factory and the consumer.
Although you do not make it absolute
" clear, we gather from your com
that the half eggs are laid
en- the half days By the half hens. Is
that right, or amt it, and II not, why
rot Still, II is just possible that you
mean that the whole hen or the half
hen wastes half day or day and 2 I

and half something else. We have I
aever seen that kind Of egg; all the

MORE PORK
so~s Must be bred at This Time in
Large Numbers in Order TO Insure
Adequate Meat Supply.


To win the war we need more mca
To get an increased supply quiekl
hog breeding must be increased mater
tally throughout the country, and |
certain States an increase Of from
TO so per cent in the number of hog
is recommended by the United State
Department of Agriculture.
The situation is Of great Importance
We must have plenty of meat for ou
armies and the armies Of the allies il
the field, and sufficient meat for ou
civilian population and the civilian
| population of the allies at home.
To have this meat, breeding animal.
must reproduce themselves SO the off
spring will be available for slaughter
in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker thar
any other kind of live stock.
Therefore a larger number of sows
must be bred now than in recent years
Feed Crops are Abundant
In addition to the fact that there is
an imperative demand for more meat
as war measure, it should be taken
into consideration that we now have
an abundance Of feed crops--corn,
oats, and barley-with which to pro-
duce this necessary increase in the
number of hogs. The demand for
meat is certain, and it will be profit
able to the farmer to market some of
this heavy grain supply on the hoof.
Much Bacon Needed
Pork can be transported more read
lily and economically to troops in the
field than can any other meat. Great
supplies of bacon must 60 to the boys
in khaki at the front. Unless now a
larger number of sows is bred, the
of meat we will require next
year will not be available.
The estimated number of hogs is
4 100000 less than it was year ago
in this country; and in the face of this
We need more hogs than ever before.
How can we get them? By breeding !
sows at once.
Expectation of Pork
The expectation of pork products
has increased since the war began and
will continue to increase during the
ength of the war. The foreign coun-
ries are devoting their farming ener-
,ies to food and feed rather than live
took production. but they must have
neat and they must get a large part
+ this supply from US.
During the last three months the
rice of hogs in the United States has
zen, on an average, more than twice
s much as the average price for the
We years from 1911 to 1915. In view
{ the large crop of feedstuffs in sight
owever, it is believed that farmers
ill see the wisdom of taking every {
aasonable step to incrase the supply .
f hogs and hog products. Weekly
