TAKING THE HOME PAPER

Do you know of person in this whole
community who would be willing to go
through life month by month and year
by year without a knowledge of the
news features of the township in which
he resides. Would you like to be that
person. 1t is difficult to convince the
average reader of the real value OF
home paper unless he was at sometime
or other forced to do without it. Then
it is that it's value is brought home to
him. Most people subscribe for the
home paper, read it, enjoy, and absorb
the news it contains as a matter OF
course giving scarcely thought TO the
vast amount of labor entailed in the
production Of the issue. And yet that
issue means tremendous concentration
of thought and energy and perseverance
on the part of both the editor and his
entire force of employees. The work
thus represented on an issue of this
paper for instance, cost the reader less
than the sum Of cents. Would you like
to fill the editor shoes for a week or a
month, or permanently? Would you con-
slider that the labor thus involved had
met with just compensation?

Fire In Old Mansion.

Fire of unknown origin broke out near
a fireplace in the old colonial mansion
on the farm of DR.. Joshua Clayton, near
Mt Pleasant, about 3 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. The Volunteer Hose Co. of
this town was called and with the chem
ical apparatus, went to the scene and
by hard work succeed in saving all the
rear portion of the mansion.
The farm is tenanted ay James Webb,
who moved there On March ]. He can
not account in any way for the fire, as
the fireplace had not been used since he
had no 1ed to the farm. Webb was lucky
enough to save all his furniture, and
thanks to the work of-the local hose com
pany, has living quarters left in the rear
portion of the property ample Tor his
needs until the house can be rebuilt.
The mansion is one OF the Oldest in
the county, and was the home Of the
late Colonel Joshua Clayton. Since his
death, however, when it was begueathed
to his son, Dr. Joshua Clay ton of Phila-
delphia. it has been allowed to run down.

Proper Cow Feeding

In feeding cows three thugs must be
considered, the size of the cow, the
quantity of milk she produces, and the
kind of feed given.
Ordinarily large COW requires more
feed than a small COW. To produce so
pounds of milk COW may not require
twice as much f. ed as to produce Is, but
she will nevertheless requires substan-
tial increase. Some feeds are rich in
milk producing materials while others
are poor. When COW is fed the former
class, she will not require as many as if
she were fed the latter.
Ten pounds of clover hay, 80 pounds
of corn silage, 10 pounds of grain-oats
and corn equal parts make a good ra-
ton, both in quantity and kind for COW
weighing LOCO pounds and giving 80
pounds Of milk daily. This may be con-
sidered an average ration for an average
good dairy COW during the first six
months

TO PLANT BIG CROPS

The wear 1917 will witness the cultlva-
tion of the largest acreage of ground
ever used for agricultural purposes in
any one year on the Peninsula. Farmers
have already begun the work for this
years crops and as soon as the weather
conditions improve practically every
farmer will begin work, for the farmers
of this Peninsula are expecting Won
drous things from this years products
The present scarcity of farm products
of every kind and the prevailing prices
have convinced the farmers taat high
prices will continue, and that there IS
little likelihood Of over production this
wear, as the European farmers are too
busy fighting to seriously interfere with
our trade.
In the lower part of the state farmers
in many instances have already ploughed
large part of their lands, which they
will allow to remain in that condition
for several weeks for the purpose OF
killing off the bugs and insects that u.s.
ualy are so disastrous to the crops.
Some of the more advanced farms were
ploughed early in January and well ma
nured. These lands will be in prime
condition for the early pea crop.
The largest acreage ever known on
the Peninsula will be planted in corn,
wheat, potatoes, cantaloupes, water
melons, Strawberries, etc, this year,
according to we'll informed farmers.

Twenty-seven head of ewes brought
SIS. so each.
The implements, which had been used
but three seasons. brought high prices.
Mr.. Gill had been offered Sc, 900 for the
proceeds of the sale, but the results show
that he used good judgment in not taking
the offer. He recently sold his farm to
William Price for $27,00

sists of eleven head of horses colts and
mules and 26 head of cattle will be sold
