now unless actual war should follow

departments fell back today to almost
the quiet routine of normal times. A

strict enforcement of new rules re-

MAKING PROFIT FROM SWINE
Proper Care and Feed Are Necessary
Provide Comfortable Quarters
and Lots of Sunshine.

In order to make a profit from pigs
1t is necessary to give them the prop,
er care and feed. They should be pro-
vided with clean, comfortable quarters
exercise, and plenty of sunshine. The
sow should be given special care at
narrowing time. She should be fed
lightly for a few days after farrow.
ing, and the amount of feed gradual
ly increased as the young pigs de.
velop.
The ration for the sow at this time
should be one which will produce a
heavy flow of milk. A good ration for
this purpose is one composed of corn,
shorts, bran, small amount Of tank
age, and good quality of alfalfa fed
from a rack. Bran may make up 10
per cent Of the ration, as it'has a ben.
eficial effect on the digestive system
and tends to increase the milk pro-
duction.

lNvENTS NEW MACHINE GUN
Mechanically Operated Loading Device
Keeps Belt Filled, Despite Con.
tinuous Use.

There comes now an inventor with
the significant name of Ford-not
Henry, however-with some start
ling improvements for the machine
gun, asserts Edward O. Crossman in
the Popular Science Monthly.
The first one is mechanically op-
Grated loading machine to keep the
belt of the gun filled all the time re-
CARELESS of fire and the duration
thereof. The belt loader is operated
by the power of the machine on
which the gun is mounted, this to be
motorcycle, motor tricycle., automo-
bile, airplane or other power vehicle.
The second is a circulating water
cooling system, a la automobile, in
which the water passes from the
jacket around the gun barrel to a
regular automobile radiator, which
in turn is cooled by fan driven by
the power that operates the loading
mechanism and which in turn is
merely the power plant Of the car. A
centrifugal pump makes the water
move, although it would surely Their
mosiphon hurriedly if this system
were used instead of the pump.
The third startler is the fact that
the gun is designed to be an integral
part Of its carriage, which is q gas
engine propelled vehicle. Perhaps
this idea was borrowed from the
fighting airplane, In which the ma
chine gun Is rigidly mounted to FIRE
through the propeller.

TOBACCO RECORD
IS BROKEN
More Than a Million Pounds
on Henderson Floors Open
ening Day Of Sale.

Henderson, KY, Dec. 5. The loose
leaf tobacco market opened this NOR
ming with the greatest amount Of
weed ever delivered in the history OF
the city for a single sale. All -four
floors were filed to capacity, con-
timing more than a million pounds.
There is fully 10000 pounds of to-
baccu on wagons which cannot be de-
livered to the houses until the weed
on the floors is removed.
The first sale was held at the Rash
and Cooper house. Burley leaf sold
up to $33 hundred and dark leaf up
to $3.50. Lugs ranged from S14 to
$22, and trash from 50 to $3.50. A
total of 100000 pounds was sold at
this house and buyers started bidding
at the Edwards and Melton house late
in the afternoon, where so, 900 pounds
were sold before night. The sale will
continue at this house Thursday NOR
ming. Then the Birk and Lancaster
and Birk, Lancaster and Soaper hous-
es will hold sales.
The floor average at the Rash and
Cooper house was SIS hundred.
Henderson has been a strip tobacco
market for more than 100 years, but
no delivery has ever equaled the one
for the initial sales.
Livery stables were so crowded
that growers were forced to leave
their loads and take their teams home.
Streets around all the houses are al
most blocked with tobacco-laden wag-
pms.
If the delivery continues next week !
IN volume as has this week, more J
han $500, 900 will be paid to growers
he first week of sales.

STOCK
ATTENTION TO HOGS IN FALL
Animals Are Not as Resistant to Dis
ease as In sprino-Water Supply
Is Of Importance.
CRY e. r. sPENcE)


Hogs are not as resistant to disease
in the fall as they are in the spring
when getting an abundance of green
forage, and having access to a wide
range. II is necessary, therefore, to
give them more attention and better
care to Offset seasonal conditions and
danger from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot, or on
the same acre OF ground, day after
day. This communicates the feeding
places, and also attracts crows, pig
cons, and sparrows which may have
been feeding with a cholera infected
herd. Throw the feed out In differ
ent spot each day, thus giving the
pigs a clean plate" from which to
eat.
The water supply is Of much inn
pOrtance to the health Of the hogs at
this time of year. Old mud wallows
are never good, but are not so bad IL
the hogs can have pure water to
drink, but II forced to battle and drink
In the same stub" serious trouble can
be expected at any time. See that

to drink, situated near the wallow

UNCLE SAM AS TRUCK USER
Government Introduces standardlza-
ton Which Is Expected to Be Of
Big Value to Industry.

The fact that Uncle Sam has
standardized his trucks, 30 that any
part broken in action may be re-
placed by similar part taken from
another truck, does not necessarily
mean that the most efficient delivery
system can be obtained only by the
use Of a feet of trucks identical in
model and design, says II. W. Slau-
son, in Leslie's. It does mean, how
ever, that there must be at least a
certain Standardization Of methods
and a certain interchangeability Of
parts which will enable each truck
to spend its actual time in the most
effective service.
What the truck industry has need
ed most has been a standardized sys-
TEN of truck installation, operation
and cost keeping. Without such
system it is impossible to determine
whether a truck or a feet Of trucks
is operating at its maximum eff
cheney or whether an improvement
of some so or even 100 per cent in
effectiveness could be made by a
change here or an elimination of
waste effort there. Now, however, it
seems probable that this deficiency
is to be changed, and that Uncle
Sam, as the worlds greatest truck
user, will evolve a truck system
which will prove of intestimable
benefit to every user of trucks be-
fore, and during, as well as after the
war.
