CHARCOAL OF MUCH Benefit
Digestive Apparatus Of Hogs Kept In
Good Running order-Make
Use Of Corn Cobs,

Charcoal is good for hogs. 1t keeps
their digestive apparatus In good Fun-
ming order. Corn cObs make good
charcoal when properly charred. On
nearly every farm most of the cobs
are allowed to collect in around the
feed lots until they become nui-
sance. Why not gather up these cobs
and make charcoal OF them for the
hogs? 1t can be done In the following
manner:
Dig a pit about 10 feet long, 8 feet
Wide and or 4 feet deep. A larger
hole than this can be made. depend
Ing upon the amount of cobs to be
burned. With some paper and cobs
or klndling start fire In the center
of the pit and as 1t gets good start
add more cobs. Continue adding cobs
until the pit is filled, then lay some
old sheet-lron across the top and
cover with earth to hold In the fire
and smoke. Leave alone for two or
three days, then open and II the pit
was properly made and filled, the cobs
will have turned to charcoal. This
can be taken out, sprinkled with salt,
lime and copperas and placed where
the hogs can get at 1t.

est demand for the holiday trade Ia
for the smaller birds suitable for
dinner for an ordinary family.
The plumage Of the bronze is very
attractive. The feathers are bronze or
dull black with bands of white across.
The bronze tint gives pleasing color
effects.
One common objection has been that
the bronze hen Is not very good
layer. But it is generally found that
laying Is largely an individual charac
teristic. Many prefer the bronze and
generally this breed by far outnumbers
the others On the holiday market.
The bronze turkeys are close de-
scendants of the American wild turs
key, which Is still found in some parts
of our country. The young of the
domesticated birds soon show a tens
dency to wander in search Of food.
They can fly to an astonishing height
when it becomes necessary.

GULL SURPLUS YOUNG STOCK
Don't Hold Poultry Until Christmas
Thinking Higher Prices Can
Be Obtained.

Now is the time to dispose Of sur
plus young stock. Don't be fooled into
waiting until Christmas and then get
about the same price for a six-pOund
bird as you can now get for four
pound fry. Hold only the promising
breeders Of the males and sell the re-
mainder. Pullets showing low vitality
by maturing slowly never make winter
layers and usually are first to contract
disease. Gull the old flock to half and

CARING FOR NARROWING sow
Exercise Should Be Given and Corn
Ration Deereased-Don't Feed
Too Rich Ration.

Exercise the SOW daily before far
rowing. Decrease the corn ration and
increase the tankage rather than the
middlings. For "a hours after far
rowing do not feed the SOW, or feed
lightly. Water should be supplied.
Care should be taken not to feed the
SOW too rich a ration. More milk
may be available than the pigs can
take, and milk fever may result.
After narrowing, the pigs should be
given plenty Of exercise, to prevent
thumps. Rails about the sides Of the
pen will keep the sow from lying on
the pigs. If colony houses are used,
lighted lantern hung inside on very
cold nights will help to keep the
houses warm.

MINERAL MATTER FOR SWINE
Mixture Of Charcoal, sIaked Lime and
Small Quantity Of Salt Is De-
sirabIe In Winter.

During the winter, when the ground
Is frozen, it is very desirable to pro-
vide mineral matter to hogs in the
form of mixture of charcoal, slaked
lime and a small quantity of salt. This
mixture can be placed in box where
the pigs can eat as much as they want.
Soft-coal dust can usually be had at a
much lower cost than charcoal, and 1t
seems to answer the purpose quite as
well.

Berea. Ky, May 11.-Berea College, with its 1,600 students from the mountains Of the Southern States. has been transformed into a miniature military training camp A number of the students have already enlisted and practically all of the others are now drilling on the campus. Each of the five departments of the institution, including the college. normal, aca- demy, vocational and foundation has it's own company.
 President William Goodell Frost in referring to Berea's relations to the country's preparation for war. said: 4'The students of Berea college, com ing from Ail parts of the mountain regions of the south, represent the best fighting stock in America. Their fathers were with Jackson at New Orleans and in the Civil war Kentucky in the Union and made West Virginia 'secede from secession The moun- taineers, though landlocked, have al- ways had many representatives in the navy.'

MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS

Male Babies Born in Greater ProDOr-
 tion Than Females in England and
 Wales During War.
 London, May 1.-The theory that more boy babies than girls are born in war time Is supported by the annual report of the registrar general for England and Wales. During the first quarter of the war the proportion rose to 1,o43 boys to. 1 ,O0o girls, and the succeeding quarter was 1,O44. For the four quarters of 1916 it rose to 1.O50, 1.061, 1,045, and 1050. All these figures, says the report are con- siderably above any recorded during the preceding fifty years and are within measurable distance of the gen. .eral European ratio. which for many years has been considerably in excess of the British.
 The marriage rate was the highest on record; the birth rate was the lowest on record: the death rate from typhoid fever was the lowest on record: that from influenza, the measles the highest since 1898. The average ages of both men and women marrying were the highest on record; that of men was 27.3 years: women. 25.6. The infant mortality rate was the lowest on. record.
 A rise in mortality among the aged of both sexes Is noted. It is a feature that has appeared in the sta- tistics of other belligerent countries and is regarded as a reflex of the un- usual stress and anxiety of the time.

 Fort Bliss. Texas. May 11.-Long cared. patient old government mules which have been kept at the govern ment corral here since General Per- shing's expedition came out of Mexico, may be used to blow lands on the fort reservation and in the Rio Grande valley for war crops.
 This Suggestion has been made to General George Bell, Jr.. by farmers in the valley who complain that they cannot get stock enough to do tho necessary work of planting large crops of foodstuffs this year to carry out the presidents plan of agricul- tural preparedness. The suggested plan Is to loan these army mules to the farmers at small charge plus their keep, bond to be given sfor their return at any time in good condition. This plan was used in Austria for cavalry and artillery horses. accord ing to an army officer stationed here.
