Kill Young Pigs.

London, Jan. 16.-Because OF the
high cost of feedstuffs farmers have
been destroying filters of young
pigs at birth, much to the dismay
of government agricultural COM
mittee. which has been conducting
a campaign to induce stock raisers
to help ward off a pork famine.
Farmers defended their action with
the statement that the government
was allowing export of meal to Hol-
land which ought to be kept in this
country The consequent increased
price of feeding pigs, the farmers
contended. made il impossible for
them to make profit on the pigs.

BRITISH PREPARE
Big OFFENSIVE
LONDON FACTORIES TURNING
OUT ENORMOUS QUANTITIES
OF HEAVY AMMUNITION.
IMPROVEMENT In GUNS
More Shells Made In hay Now Than
During Whole of First Year
OF The War.

London. Jan. l5.-tCorrespond-
ence OF the Associated Press. Eng
lish muHitiOn factories are now turn
ing out everywhere in eight hours
more heavy gun ammunition than
they manufactured in the entire first
year of the war and the production
| is still increasing week by week in
preparation for the great offensive
on the Western front. which British
military critics believe will come
next spring.
Although figures OF the actual pro-
duction OF guns and munitions are
zealously guarded, and there is no
avowal on the part OF the Ministry OF
Munitions of any intention to dis
continue the importation from Amer
lea, there is an evident feeling of
optimism among the officials in the
big munition headquarters just on
Whitehall. as well as a willingness
to give out comparative figures" to
justify that optimism.
1.-THE Improvement in our position
may be illustrated in this way" re-
marked an official of the ministry.
I'VE are now manufacturing every
week three times as many 155-milli-
meter shells, five times as many zoo
millimeter shells and three times as
many 230-millimeter shells as We
manufactured during the whole first
year of the war.
The Shell Output.
"Of smaller shells. we are turning
out In about week the same quauti-
ty as was produced during the first
year. Finally, the number of shells
OF all kinds completed during the
last week exceeded by about 30 per
cent the entire stock OF munitions
held in reserve at the outbreak Of
hostilities."
Dealing with guns in the same way
il is found that. representing the
number of guns manufactured dur
ing the first year of the war by 100,
the number for the second year
would be S41, and for the third year
will be somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF 1850. The. manufacture
of lighter pieces has had to be slack
ened recently. owing to the fact that
the equipment of the British army in
light field pieces is approximately
complete, and /. is only necessary to
provide for requirements and re-
newals.
The improvement in the msnufac-
ture of machine guns, rifles. gren-
AIDES and explosives has been equally
satisfactory.
Representing the total of machine
guns delivered to the army during
the first year as 100, the total for
the second year was 1880 and for
the third year will exceed 5000.
The production of trench mortar
ammunition and grenades has been
so much developed that any fur
Their increase scarcely seems ne
cessary.
The increase in the manufacture
of explosives has been tremendous.
For every ton of explosive employ
ed in September, 1914. $50 tons were
employed in July. 1915. and 12.ooo
tons In July, 1916.

The great compensation of living on

small the Milwaukee Journal observes.
Missouri Is state with an active, pro-
gressive college of agriculture, yet the

the farmers investigated were getting
less than $500 Il year for their time
in addition to Il house 10 live in and

for farmer and his entire family to

The farmer has therefore engaged in
