MAKE BROODER CHICKS GROW
Cannot Be Overestimated-
Keep Them Thriving.

Breeder chicks should begin to grow
from the first day of their existence,
and grow constantly.
Two days Of dropping and ill condi-
ton will set them back ten days in
growth. The Importance Of correct
care and feed, therefore, cannot be
Overestimated.

to have been used by Paul Jones dur

Another flag of the very highest
historic value is the original "Star-

Fort McHenry in Baltimore, during
the hombardment on September 1914,
1914, and was the inspiration of Keys

LEGHORN is MUCH IMPROVED
Tendency Has Been to Breed Larger
Fowls and Still Retain Laying
Characteristics.

The Leghorns today are much bet
ter breed than they were years ago.
The tendency has been to breed larger
birds and still retain all their charac-
teristics as producers of large num-
Der of eggs.
With larger bodies also has come the
production Of larger eggs which Is an
added merit to the breed.

PROFITS IN RAILS
ING YOUR HOGS

The following is not printed to eX-
plot the fact that the editor of this
paper has some fresh meat at his
home, but to encourage the growing
Of meat at home. There are actually
farmers in this community who did
not raise a hog this year for their
years meat supply, and they will be
trotting to town this winter and next
summer buying meat and lard.
Here is what we did: Out of a
litter of ten pigs five were sold for
$35. The remaining five we're kept
and killed for pork last week. These
five porkers netted 275 pounds each.
upon an average, making 1875
pounds of meat, which, at the prevail
ing price of 20 cents the pound,
makes $275 worth of meat. F rom
these five hogs AZ gallons Of lard
was made. This is worth 80 cents
a pound on the market, The cost
to us of producing this meat was
$3.50 for feed. We had no pasture
this year, our two acres of sorghum
turning out to be broom corn, which
the hogs stubbornly refused to eat;
so it was necessary to raise these

1000 DIE WHEN
SHIP BLOWS Up
Big Section Of Halifax Laid Waste BY Num-
ton Blast, When Two Big
Ships Collide.

Halifax, N. S. Dec. with the
toll Of dead steadily mounting, 1t
was believed early this morning that
more than 1000 persons persisted in
the explosion and fire which fol-
lowed the collision yesterday morn
ing in Halifax Harbor between the
Mont Blanc, a munitions laden
French ship, and the limo, vessel
loaded with supplies for the Belgian
relief commission.
The disaster which has plunged
the dominion into mourning, proba-
bly, will rank as the most fearful that
ever occurred on the American con-
tinent. Residents of Halifax and
thousands of volunteer relief work
ers who have come into the city have
been almost dazed at the extent of
the horror.
Temporary morgues have been es-
tablished in many buildings to which
steady procession of vehicles of all
kinds have been carrying for hours
the bodies of men, women and chill
dren. Most of them were so charred
that they were unacceptable.
Thousands of persons seeking trace
Of relatives and friends have passed
by the long, silent rows, attempting,
by the Pickering light of lamps and
lanterns, to identify the ones they
sought.
Virtually every building in the
city which could be converted into
hospital is filled with wounded,
many Of them so desperately injured
that there is no hope Of their recov-

hogs almost altogether without pas
ture, feeding high-priced corn and
chops.
Another item reducing the cost
of these hogs was that a second lit
ter of pigs from the sow that far
rowed these hogs killed was sold for
$85, with one choice gilt left, which
is valued at SIS, making $IO0 worth
of pigs, This 500 taken from the
cost of feeding the porkers reduces
the cost of our years meat supply to
about $50, plus the cost of butcher
ing, etc.
This is published to show what
gains may be made by keeping a
good brood sow, If you are not do
ing this, suppose you try it out for

STORM KING BORE
DOWN UPON US.

All at once, after the prettiest
fall within the memory of most of
us, the Storm King bore down upon
us last Friday, bringing the heaviest
snowfall within a number of years.
A conservative estimate of the depth
Of the snow was ~ inches. In plac-
es, however, where it drifted, the
banks were two feet deep.
As a result of this sudden change
and heavy snowfall, business was
practically paralyzed on Sunday, ex-
cept with the dealers in overshoes
and leggins, both of which went like

village. Every dealer kept most of

cry. Scores already have died in
these temporary hospitals. An ever
increasing number is being taken
from the completely devastated Rich
mond district to the relief station.
An army of rescue workers is search
ing among the ruins for bodies and
for those who have survived amidst
the wreckage left by the explosion
and fire.

Mr.. Suddath, of the local Exemp-

cepted by the local and district
boards, have the privilege of enlist
