Stop Loss Of Eggs.

Over 150.00O,000 eggs will be lost
to the food supply of the United
States If the old practice of sending
hens to market at this season is
continued Figures compiled bv
the poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that more than 100000 lay
ing hens, each capable of producing
80 eggs, are sent to market from
the Southern States in the winter
and early spring
Every effort, therefore, is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring lay
ing season, thereby getting divi-
dend for keeping the hen through
the winter The specialists point
out that when a hen is sold for
meat early 10 the spring, the farm
er gets no egg return for feeding
and keeping her through the worst
months of the year.
Moreover, the hen is marketable
as poultry after she has produced
her spring eggs, Poultry in May
may bring 2 cents pound less than
it does in February, but. they point
out, the 80 eggs produced by the
hen, largely from wastes, more than
offset any reduction 10 the price
offered for live poultry.
An energetic ege-saving cam
paign to prevent early slaughter of
the hen that lays the golden egg"
is now being conducted throughout
the Southern States North of the
Ohio River, farmers have long ap-
preciated the advantage of getting
the spring crop of eggs AID market
ing their hens after the laying
season or in the fall. They believe
that adoption of this plan by south
ern chicken raisers will be profitable
and will practically add to the food
supply of the Nation.

tain practically no fabric except pa
per, but the demand for paper fab
ric far exceeds the supply. Collars
are now selling in Berlin for nearly
rs cents each, and shoe laces of pa.
per yarn are Is cents pair. Leath-
er is becoming almost unobtainable.
Boots with wooden soles are worn
even by the better class. and fully
40 per cent of the soldiers at the
front are wearing wooden soled
boots The standard" shoes that
are sold contain only 10 per cent
leather. 10 many cases the uppers
are made out of old ships sails,
tent awnings and impresnated bur-
lap. Paper for ordinary purposes
has become so scarce that some
provincial newspapers are using
low grade colored papers.

Hugh Ford was the victim of a
serious accident Tuesday. 1t seems
that in handling a wild mule the
halter rein caught the thumb of his
right hand in such a manner as to
crush the member SO badly that
amputatiOn was necessary. DR.
Southern performed the operation
and Mr. Ford IS doing as we'll as
could be expected.

Hindenburg'S Paris Date.

MY reply is that by April l. w
will be in Paris" Hindenburg is re
ported to have said when warned
that Germany would be utterl,
destitute of food in that month
Any uneasiness we may have had
on account of the gigantic effort
Hindenbure is preparing on the
western front may, accordingly, be
dissipated Long before the assigned
date for that Christmas dinner
which Gen. Butler promised TO eat
in Pretoria during the South African
war. it had been shown that des-
tiny has a way of upsetting fatuous-
iy confident military predictions.
And in no war has calculation ever
been so COMPOUNDED as 10 this. The
Germans in Paris? Why, con-
structively they are already there.
Paris was surely to be taken in a
space varicusly given as from nine
days to three weeks after the war
started in 1914. They never got
nearer than the Marine, and after
six weeks they were making the
best time recorded of modern
army in the opposite direction. An
Entente commander would be just
as foolish in assigning a specific
date for the occupation of Berlin.
The very fact that Hindenbure is
Obliged to admit. after three years
and half, that the first task set in
the war still remains to be accom-
plished shows Germany's colossal
failure in the'war. If the powerful,
thoroughly equipped Prussianism of
1914 could not take Paris. how is
the hunger-stricken, discouraged
Prussianism of 1918 to take it
now.
