Young Drafted Man Shoots Off
Fingers.

Despondent from constant brood
ing over the approaching induction
into the military service and after
spending the night in q patch Of
woods in the rear of his home, a
young white man who resides in an
adjoining county, shot the fingers
off his left hand Wednesday morn
ing about 4 o'clock when the car
which was to carry him to the sta
ton from which he would go
direct to Camp Jackson came in
sight.
The young man was originally
placed in Glass 3 on the grounds of
dependency and a few weeks ago
was placed in Glass l, which render
ed him eligible for immediate mill
tary duty. In a futile attempt to
evade the draft, he married after he
had been notified to report. Dis
appointed that his added RESPONSE
bility did not result in his being
again placed in a deferred classit-
cation, he sought 20 accomplish the
end by manning himself for life
and for which act he is liable for
crimina, prosecution in the event
that it can be established that he
incapacitated himself to escape
serving in the draft army. He was
removed to a hospital in ore of the
neighboring towns, suffering from
the loss of blood and gun shock,
where the fragments of his fingers
which remained we're amputated.-

Pastures for Hogs.

The cheapness of pork production
depends upon the cheapness of the
feed. Of course the pig may be turn
ed upon the range to hustle for him
self, but that is not the best practice
for a good quality of pork and for
top prices on the market. 1t is just
as bad to feed grain alone. Corn is
the primary pig feed of the United
States, but it is deficient in protein
for muscle building and in ash which
goes toward bone building.
Pasture is cheap hog feed and it
supplies those essentials which are
lacking in the corn or most other
since they supply that which is most
often lacking, protein, to the pigs
ration.
Of course there are various COM
mercial feeds which will supply the
lacking constituents, but such feeds
are expensive and besides pastures
will more nearly approach the natur-
al conditions under which the pig for
merly lived. There is n doubt that
pasture is as essential to profitable
pork production as grain. Further
more it requires about one-third the
grain to fatten a hog on pasture as
it does on grain alone.
A. P. Spencer of the University Of
Florida extension division has COM
piled a chart which shows the crops
which can be planted at various times
in the year to provide pasture for

Preserving Eggs.

The eggs should be collected daily
from clean nests only, and from
healthy focks. 1t is preferable to use
infertile eggs and thereby eliminate
the possibilities of embryonic devel
opment and subsequent spelling. in
no case should old, s%un-baked, crack
ed or thin-shelled eggs be used.
Cracks are usually detected by gently
tapping the eggs or handling them.
Generally glazed earthenware jars,
galvanized tubs or buckets and wood
en- tubs or kegs are used. In case of
wooden receptacles it is desirable to
let them stand several days full of
water, then empty and scald before
using.
A gallon stone jar will hold 40 av-
erage eggs. One pint of water glass
syrup mixed with 10 pints of water
will cover 100 eggs packed in a three
gallon stone jar.
Mix the water glass with water
that has been boiled. The mixture
should be kept covered at all times
in order to prevent evaporation.
When cold it is ready to use.
Water glass can be purchased
either in liquid or dry form. Most
drug stores, however, carry in stock
only the liquid form.
Different proportions of water
glass to water have been successfully
used, but the higher strengths, as for
example, n pint of water glass to
nine or ten pints of water, have Civ
en- better results.
Eggs preserved in water glass can
be used in place of fresh n fol
frying, scrambling, cooking, and, If
not kept too long, can be used fol
meringues, icings, angel cake, etc. A
pin-hole opening made on the blunt
end of the shell makes it possible tc
boil the eggs without any danger OF
their bursting.
A large number of persons have
packed eggs in water glass success
fully for commercial purposes. They
should be labeled as water glass eggs
when being offered for sale.-Farn

Farm improvements.

There is so much emphasis placed
upon winning the war-and proper
ly so-that we are likely to forget
the Importance of preparing for
peace. The people of this country do
not expect to change their former
attitude as to war. The great world
we are now expecting to win must
not cause civilized nations to spend
a large portion of what the people
earn to cary on war o force peace
loving people to spend their lives in
the army. There must be an under
standing among civilized peoples that
the world must guarantee peace to
the nations that strive for it. Out
law nations must be controlled or
put out of the fighting.
Farmers and business men in gen.
eral should strive to help win the war
and make it possible for peace at the
earliest possible time. But while this
is being done preparations should be
made for peace. Plans should be
made for permanent farming and
comfortable living. Such permanent
improvements as may be needed
should not be neglected because of
the war, unless these improvements
hinder the government. Nothing that
would interfere with war work should
be undertaken, but safe and perma-
nent improvements should be made
when possible.-Farm and Ranch.

The Rural Sunday School.

Of the services held at churches,
none is more important than the
Sunday school. A Sunday school
conducted by a wise, c~onsecrated
Superintendent and taught by eff
Gent teachers is indispensable 10

growth of the community. Ever
the preaching services cannot excel
the influence of the Sunday school

children. And this puts the home
in touch with the church. The NOR
al, industrial and educational lntiu-
ence of the Sunday school can
scarcely be over.estlmated. Often
it is the binding force that holds
young people in the community
and inspires them to a life of Chris
tian citizenship.
The life and usefulness Of the
church will very largely depend
upon the Sunday school and the va
rions organizations of the children
and young people in connection
with, or under the supervision of
the rural church. The meetings of
the young people teach self-reliance,
parliamentary law, public speech.
research and other literary attain
ments as well as religious princi-
Piles. These young peoples re-
ligious meetings should be fostered
and encouraged for they train men
and women for church work and
especially for community co-opera-
ton. Through these organizations
most of the homes may be reached
and the community unified and
elevated. Farm and Ranch.

Confronted as the world is today
with "the long-aimed blow" of Prus-
sian m~ilitarism these lines of Sir Will
liam Jones read much like a warning
prophecy. To lift the dark shadow of
ruthless conquest threatening the
world and with it the land of Amer

cry American man and every Amer
lean woman be high-minded; men and
women who their duties know--who
know their rights and, knowing, dare
maintain them; men and women with
powers and conceptions above those
of "dull brutes."
Except for such men and women

and sacrifice only may it be maintain

liberty is now in process of attempt

stand intellectually, for America
and liberty. This spirit alone consti-
tutes a State.-Farm and Ranch.
