HAVE NEW HOME GUARD

SAVANNAH, Feb. 22.-Dithin the
near future Liberty county will have
a home guard similar to the local or
ganization, to take the place of the
famous old Independence troop of
that county. Capt R. Frank Cassels,
who has been elected captain of the
troop, and L. H. Quarterman, who is
member of the committee on by,
laws and organization of the Guard,
are in Savannah comforting with Gen
Peter w. Meldrim commander of the
Chatham GCa~G on the line of or
ganization.

His experiments back up his asser-
ton, Test lots of steers were fed
one lot with whole corn, one with
ground corn and the third with ground
corn and ground corncobs. Seven
hogs followed each lot of steers. The
hogs with the steers fed whole corn
increased in weight 1877 pounds TO
each 100 pounds of corn fed to the
steers. The hogs following those fed
ground corn only made or of pounG
gain on each 100 pounds of corn meal
fed, and the hogs following the steers
ON meal and ground corncobs made
an even less gain.
Grinding grain is an especially good
practice when feeding ensilage be
cause the gums of the animals some
times become tender, particularly If
the ensilage shows acidity. Grinding
gain gives the maximum efficiency in
assimilation of nutriment. Not only
does grinding the grain increase its
value, but the feed grinder works up
great deal of low-value feedstuffs
that would otherwise be total waste
We are raising some corn and we.
are going to grow great deal more
of it, so whatever we may say about
corn feeding holds good here. With
the feed grinder available it is a
waste of both time and feed to shucR
the corn and shell it. The shuck con
tains feed value and so do the cobs.
The cobs are rich in carbohydrates,

and cobs along with the cobb adds

CLEVELAND, July i3.-There has

Of curtailed output. Of failure Of the

and phenomenal success one might i'm

As to aircraft affairs, Ray Sherman,

one gets down TO the facts one find
that the Liberty motor is a success
and not a failure, and that the aircraft

believed that America could be at this

In connection with American industry !:
America is a big production country,
which means that millions Of dollars
and weeks OF time are spent in tOoling

plants get ready they are in position

Europe never dreamed.
"some Of the delay in aircraft pro-

and confusion because Of the speed
necessary, but much Of 10 Is due TO

avoided with ihe most efficient organi-

it that the many conservation sugges-

The Commercial Economy Board at
Washington has called upon dealers to
effect certain economies. These in

Automobile Dealers Association that
this be done by placing some sort OF
a wheel tax on every automobile In
the United States. This, they say Will
bring in greater revenue than taxing
the few new cars that are being put
out. II is estimated that there are g.
100000 cars in this country on which a
tax could be placed.
There was a ruplOr some time ago
that Sunday driving would be stopped
so as TO save gasoline. Regarding this
Ray Sherman, editor Of Motor World
and a speaker at the dealers meeting,
stated: I'VE have all heard there was
shortage Of gasoline. This rumor
arose because a congressman, who had
Just returned from France, prepared
a bill to restrict the use Of gasoline,
because while he was in France and on
the front one day there was a shortage
Of gas at this point. He did not real
Ae that shippipg conditions caused
the shortage.
"The public does not generally know
that the government needs fuel oil to
run its ships and that every time fuel
oil is produced large quantity Of gas
olne is made first. The output OF gas
oline in the country per day is s000.-
600 gallons and we export 100000 gal
Ions per day. AT one time last winter
we were making 100000 more gallons
per day than we could use"
"The automobile industry as a whole
wishes to help the government in every
way to win this war" Judge Meals
stated, "and it is up to the public TO
