Speedy Answer.

Although formulation of terms in an

ernment for an armisttce ana peace Is
regarded as a task difficult because OF
its Importance, me general opinion nefs
is that little delay may be expected.
That the supreme war council already
has considered the problem Is known.
Exchange OF opinion between Washing-

a common understanding upon which
armistice terms may he based.

of the armlstlce to be offered Germany
already is in progress; For that res-

Too much importance cannot be paid
to the construction of your hoghouse,
and observation has no doubt con-
vinced you that 'permanency pays" in
this type of building perhaps more
than In any other.
A hoghouse built like a daylight fac
tory is as important to your bank ac-
count as to the ultimate consumer Of
your ham and lard.
By far the most effective means of
lighting a hoghouse Is shown in the
accompanying illustration. 1t is
through the roof, and by using the
greenhouse type of sash laid flush with
the roof. In this way the sun shines
down more directly upon the glass and
less Of the germ-killing rays are de.
Elected.
1t is a well-known fact, that prac-
tically no germs can exist in direct
sunlight, and therefore you should
make use of this cheapest and best
disinfectant on the market to do your
share in reducing the enormous loss
from disease in western hogs.
The 6 by s or 6 by Z foot-pen with the
6-foot way along the passageway has
proven to be the most economical size

PUT TABLET OUT OF REACH
Untrue Did Not Disturb Aus
TRAN Villagers.

81 remember some years ago" writes
a correspondent, while spending a
day and a night in a small Austrian
village, not far westward from Vienna,
located on a delta formed by the con-
fluence Of a lesser stream with the
Danube, my attention was arrested
while walking through the settlement
by a marble tablet, set in the brick
wall Of a building, on one Of the most
important street corners. I saw that
the tablet bore an inscription, but it
was so high above the street that I
could not distinguish it; so 1 asked
of q man who kept a wine shop oppo-
site what the tablet signifed.
att was placed there said the ro-
tund publican, to mark the height of
the waters of the Danube at the great
freshet Of a certain year.
"'Mercyp I said. AS high Is that
Why, I should have supposed your vii
lage would have been swept awayr
"'OhI' replied the citizen, patroni.
zingly, that was not where the water
was. The Baron Zwettel gave US the
beautiful tablet to mark the great
flood and 1t was put there, where you

Red-blooded men of courage are OF
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time Of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes 'pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have a poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition in the
springtime Of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers Of a good al
terative and blood purifier. Such a nj
is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol. This can be OBJ
tanned In ready-to-use tablet form In
sixty-cent walls, as druggists have sold
it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce'S
Golden Medical Discovery. It is q
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have a
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain and u a
condition Of auto-intoxication, poison
ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once a week is to prac-
tice health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills
made up of the May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, and sold by almost
all druggists in this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated.

How Potato Spraying Paid.

Some potato growers, according to
a recent statement from the depart
ment of agriculture, have expressed
the opinion that it does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight in seasons Of bad infection has
been proved many times in the past,
says the statement, and most recently
in Aroostook county, Me-, in 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown conclusfvely at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture were i~nterspersed
with untreated plots, the average
yield on IL of the former was at the
rate of 1872 bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number of untreated
plots was at the rate of 1885 bushels
per acre, an increase of 37.7 bushels
per acre, or more than 26 per cent in
favor of bordeaux mixture.

EnnobIed Countries.

There are hundreds of Thousands
of Borrowing men and women in this
land on account of this war. Their
anguish is too deep to be expressed
or to be comforted by words. But,
judging the multitudes whom I know
not by those whom I do know, there
is not one of them who would recall
the valiant dead to life at the price
of their country's dishonor. The ex-
ample of these brave men who have
fallen has enriched the life of the ma
ton. You cannot have four millions
Of men in any land who voluntarily
sacrificed everything the world can Of
fer in obedience to a higher call with
out %ennobling the countries from which
they came. And the fallenl Whilst
they have illumined with fresh luster
the glory of their native land, they
have touched with a new dignity the

Much Of the corn that is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with a saving in feed
value Of stoyer by substituting ma
chine huskers and shedders for hand
labor. The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
Of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
chinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used in
many sections where it is now un-
known or not commonly used. Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such a
manner that they can be filed and
emptied with the least possible labor.
For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches
that will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very satisfac-
tory.
