DR.. G. A. Cloutier, 1st Lieut.. ID. c.
Dental Surgeon 18th Inf, France

The following letters were recently
received by Mrs. Albert Crosby of
Fairfield from her son, Percy Crosby:
Somewhere in France, Nov 2, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Just a note to day to let you know
that l am getting along fine. Today
is one of those many driZzling days
that makes the we'll and the sick all
feel alike. 1t is almost time for our
first snow over here and after it
comes we won't look for any pleasant
weather for a long time. By the
way things are looking now it seems
as if 1T was most over and you all
know what that means. The boys
can hardly wait for the morning pa
pers to see what has happened over
night and they are making all kinds
Of reckless wagers; as for myself, l
am contented to sit tight and wait
for developments that might prove
better than we hope for. OF course
what has happened in the last few
days Cover here" you know, and per-
haps more thoroughly than we do.
Nevertheless l am going TO tel you
that the end is in sight and 1 don't
think it will be many more moons
before we are in the United States
again. In the last campaign. you
might find one or two boys camped
in a shallow hole dug for protection
against shrapnel, reading the society
sheet of the Boston American. Ev-
ery one enjoys them when there is
time, but that is something that will
be lacking from this ti1e On. All the
spare time will be devoted mostly to
writing home their plans for the flu
ture. Yesterday in our ward was jul
bilee day and how the poor old piano
had to work and maybe the Victor
won't have lots of work when the
right time comes.
November II.
Dear Mother:
1t is over and all day we have taken
part in the celebration of the signing
Of the armistice. The French went
wild this morning when about 10 A.
NJ. the "celebree" started and there
were many sad faces among the elder
ones who have endured the entire
war. The cannons doomed and the
church bells rang, whistles blew and
people cheered. At sunrise, there
wasn't hardly a flag to be seen, by
noon the streets were ablaZe with the
colors of the Allies. / am getting
along fine and hope to be back into a
uniform before long. That means
that shortly you will be welcoming

SWINE NANCE NOT UNCOMMON
Parasite Is Microscopic in Size and
Looks Something Like Dat Grain
Hard to Cure.

We hear much about mango in horses
and cattle, and scab in sheep, but
mango in hogs is not at all uncom-
mon. The parasite that causes mango
in hogs is microscopic in size and looks
something like an oat grain. It imbeds
in the region of the hair follicles, es-
pecially around the snout, eyes and
forelegs, causing the formation or
small pustules. The skin becomes
thickened and rough. Where hog is
much affected the carcass should be
condemned for food.
This kind Of mango is readily trans
mitted to other hogs and treatment is
difficult. Since there are some who
believe hog cholera may be transmit
ted by these and other external para
sites, such as lice, it is well to keep
a lookout for hog mango.

PLAN TO END PACKERS ROW
Meat Men May Submit Questions Of
Wages to Arbitrator Selected by

Washington, JAM 23.-An alternative
plan for the settlement of the ques-
lions at issue between the packers and
their employees was submitted to the
packers attorneys by Frank p. Walsh,
counsel for the employees. The agree
ment would bind the packers to submit
questions of wages, hours and working
conditions to an arbitrator selected by
the council of national defense and is
in effect the agreement signed Christ
mas day. After the commissions con-
ference attorneys for the packers an
nounced that they had reafirmed their
readiness to abide by the arbitration
agreement signed in Chicago last
Christmas, but that they would not
consent to a closed shop which they
said the workers were demanding.

STRIKES IN AUSTRIA ENDED
mands, According to Vienna
Dispatch.

Copenhagen, Jan. 23.-The Austrian
government has accepted the socialists
demands as to food, communal woman
suffrage and nonmilitarism Of war in
dustries, according to a Vienna dis
patch, quoting the Taeglische Rund-
schau. The government, it was de-
clared, had added that it aimed at a
speedy general peace and did not de-
sire annexation of Russian, territory.
"On these statements" tile dispatch
asserted, "all strikes ceased on Mon
day."
Geneva, Jan. 23.-Some news Of a
reliable nature has begun to trickle
across the Swiss frontier which seem
ingly proves that Austria and Hun
gary are in the throes of the greatest
economic crisis since the war began.
1t is estimated that more than 1,0O0,-
600 workmen and women have struck.

that govern profit. 1t seems to be we'll
established that the problem for the
farmer is to produce and carry the
calves to weaving time as cheaply as
possible, as the calves produced cheap
ly make just as good feeders and bring
just as good price per pound as the
more expensive ones. The weight at
the time of sale seems to have very
little effect on the profit, except that
they are usually heavier in the sum-
mer which is the time when heavier
calves are put upon the market. An
expense entailed in feeding the calves
up for weight in anticipation OF sale
is loss, as being sold for feeders,
their flesh and fat weight does not
count unless obtained without cost.

appeal to American housewives for

ton Will issue, probably this week, a
new food card asking for one meatless
day, two voorhees, days and two wheat
less days each week. Food admins
tration officials said there would be
nothing compulsory about it for house
holds although it sought by a bill to
make the days of denial mandatory for

before the sow is bred. If aged sows

from two or three weeks before you
want to breed them put them on ra-

sisting of nine parts middlings to one
of tankage, made into slop. Add
ear corn and get them up to all they
will eat up clean each feed so they
will get to gaining fast.

ALFALFA VALUABLE FOR HOGS
Especially True This Year More Than
Ever on Account of the High
Price of Alfalfa.

Alfalfa hay is especially valuable
for hogs, and that is true more than
ever this year, with the price OF tank
age so high.
Every farmer should be sure that
all OF the waste leaves around the
feeding places of the cattle and horses
are saved carefully for the hogs or the
chickens. Then it will pay to feed
hay to the hogs directly.

British Have Closed
North Sea by a
Barrier of Mines

London.-The British Admiralty
restrictions on navigation in the
northern part of the North Sea. in
consequence of the laying of a great
mine field for the purpose of foil
ing submarines, became operative
to-day, and hereafter all shipping in
that area must comply with string
ent regulations or ignore them at
their own peril.
After dark no ship will he per-
mitted within the prescribed area,
which lies between the coasts of
Norway and Scotland, and any ves-
sci finding itself there half an hour
after sunset must anchor in accord
ance with the Admiralty's direction.
The regulations include strict rules
affecting all except warships enter
ing and leaving the ports of north
eastern Scotland as well as the Ork-
ney and Shetland Islands.
The vast barrier, which seems to
have been oVerestimated in extent in
earlier reports, is now said to cover
approximately $4,000 square miles.
Many details obviously cannot be
divulged. and some of those printed
appear to be based on assumptions
by non official experts, but it is gen.
orally accepted that the barrier is
designed to renee IN, as tdr as pos
sible. U-boats and other enemy era fl
in the northern end of the North
Sea in the same manner as the bar
rier across the Straits of Dover al
ready effectively blocks their access
TO the Channel. 1t is remarked that
If the barrier is to exclude submar-
ines the mines must have been laid
at an unusual depth to cover the
limit of the average submarines
diving capacity.
The forbidden area necessarily
leaves a gap on each side-on the
east because the territorial waters
of Norway must be respected, and on
the west to preserve a passage for
shipping and to allow freedom of
action for the Grand Fleet.
But Notwithstanding such limita-
tions confidence is expressed that
the new measure, combined with the
recent operations at Zeebrugge and
Ostend, must greatly handicap the
movements of the U-boats and
further discourage the hopes that
Germans have placed in the sub
marine campaign.
