Bamberg Derah
LSTaRJJSHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, Nov. ~, 1917.

A movement is on foot to ask city
council to allow the raising OF pigs
in the city on a small scale as war
measure. Under proper restrictions,
we can see no objection to this plan.
OF course when normal conditions re-
turn, hog raising in the city would
not be allowed.
*
While doubtless many of the FAR
mers do not like to be told what they
should do, it would certainly be
fine and patriotic thing if they would
each and every one plant two acres
of wheat to the plow. Everybody
must do their bit if the war is to be
won, and the planters can do moth
ing to help the situation more than
by raising wheat.

CONGRESSMAN Mccormick, who has
lust returned from visit to the Eu-
Korean battle fronts, says that the
war will not end before 1919. The
congressman's opinion is probably no
better than any one Of thousand
others; yet what he says sounds log
ical. Those who said the war would
end before Christmas have been dis
appointed, and those who believe that
it will end next spring are growing
fewer in number. In fact, while no
one knows the inside workings OF
the Allied movements, outside ap-
pearances point to.the conclusion that
the big drive to crush Germany will
not even be attempted before the
spring of 1919. 1t will be then before
America can really do her part IN the
big struggle. If the spring campaign
o. 1919. fails, no one can venture an
idea when the struggle will cease.

One Man with Two Women
v ooDRow WILSON.

The following is from the
Burnsvllle communication to the
Braxton Democrat of last week
Young Townsend carried the mail
on the Grantsville- Glenvil!e route
a year or two ago. and is well
known by many in this county:
Last Tuesday afternoon Rus.
sell Townsend stole two daugh-
ters of Robert Bright, who lives
just over the line in Gilmer coun-
ty, and started with them 10 Oak
land, Md, where, it is said, he
intended to marry at least one of
them. They were overtaken
here by delegation of Gilmer
citizens, who succeeded in cap
turing one of the girls, but Town
send and the other girl escaped
but were captured at Weston
Wednesday. On their way back
to huntsville Townsend jumped
from the moving train but the
girl was brought here where she
was handed over TO her father,
who took her home, where she
ought to have been all the time.
We hear it stated that Townsend
has two wives already and what
ne wanted with two more in these
days, when the high cost of liv-
ing bothers a man with one wife,
is more than we can imagine.

The skillful dairyman does not fol-
low the plan of feeding all his COWS
alike; but, on the other hand, he aims to
apportion the grain in accordance with
the amount OF milk produced. A COW
that yields thirty pounds OF milk day
on a good ration ought to have ten
pounds OF grain daily. If she produces
only twenty pounds Of milk slI or
seven pounds OF grain are ali that she
can make use Of economically.

A good grain ration for lambs Just

part; crushed oats, one part; linseed
oil meal, one part, and wheat bran, two
parts. Wheat bran Is very essential In
this ration, and the shepherd should
always see that it Is present A grain
ration consisting Of two pounds OF
wheat bran, pound OF oats (crushed
oats being preferred), a pound of finely
ground cornmeal and half a pound of
