SPARROW PEST.

London, March 6-Farmers have appealed to the government to allow them to use poisoned wheat to destroy the sparrow pest. Fifty years ago the farmers were free to combat the sparrow with poisoned wheat but the practice is now forbidden by law. The theory was that game of all sorts might eat the poison intended for the sparrows. The farmers as that they be allowed to use the poison only during December, January and Feb ruary when these birds swarm to their lands in search of food.

RAISING PIGS FOR
PROFIT ON FARMS

In travelling through the country
It this time of the year great many
pigs weighing not more than SO to
20 pounds are seen in the feed lots
and pastures.
To be marketed at price any
where near the top these pigs must
be carried through the winter at least
until January or February. When
one considers the additional cost OF
gains made through the winter
months when no green feed is avail
able, one is led to wonder whether
T would not be more profitable to
have the pigs larger at this time OF
year. That it is more profitable to
have the pigs larger at his time of
year, at least in most cases, is proven
by the fact that the most success

spring pigs weigh at least lilo to
1876 pounds by the end of Septem-
Der. Should one undertake to crit
Else a man with 60-pound pigs and
tell him that his pigs should be larg-
er an argument Immediately follows.
The average farmer knows that his
pigs should be larger at this time of
year to be profitable. His problem
is how to get them larger. When
ever small pigs are found at this
time of year several shortcomings
can be located in the management
the pigs have had. The first is that

ing indications that we are TO have
the greatest stock boom in the his
tory of the country and that the
shares of mining and oil companies
will be the popular favorites.
The placing of the country on a
war basis means anything but a
menace to its industries and its IL
nances and the metal for both must
come from the mines. Oil stock Will
share in this great prosperity for
not one wheel turns that does not
nav tribute to the oil industry. En-
centional conditions spell wonderful
opportunities for the man with
ready money for investment. The
investment field is broad and mining
and oil shares afford a wide enough
field for any investor. For the man
who wants safety combined with
high earnings there are many dlvl-
dend paying mining and oil stocks
that are exceptionally attractive. The

to be done successfully, the pigs

first essential in raising big, growth

March is the month selected as the

it takes something of building and

must have a combination of good

FREIGHT RATE INCREASE

New Tariffs Subject to Revision and
Change Before Being Put Into
Effect.

Washington, April 27. - The inter-
state Commerce commission has pre-
scribed the method of procedure in the
Is per cent rate advance cases by
permitting the railroads to file supple
mental tariffs covering the increase.
The new tariffs will be subject to
portest, suspension, complaint, investi-
cation and correction, the commission
announced, and their filing is only
preliminary to detailed consideration
of the application and does not dis
pose of the cases.
Indications are that the commission
will soon set dates for hearings at
which the merits of the increases will
be considered and shippers and other
interested parties will be given an OPP
portunity to state their views fully.
The effective date of the order,
should it be finally approved, is
changed from June to July 1.

Twice the Germans essayed infantry

Heavy casualties were inflicted on the
Germans in an effort to wrest the
