A THOROUGH TEST
One To Convince The Most SkePtieal
Milford Reader.


The test Of time is the test that

Testimony like this cannot be ignored.

Milford, says II was so bad off with
my back that if / sat down / had to
place my hands On my knees in order to

was hard for me to walk even block.

BOWERS.

The extremely cold weather that
has prevailed since the latter part OF
last week has brought everything to
a standstill. All work Of about ev-
cry kind has suspended and those who
have been employed up until the pres
ent have nothing to do except con-
gregate at the stores and swap yarns
hence current news is very scarce.
But it is an i'll wind that blows no
body good, and while the cold has
nut a stop to about all other occupa-
lions, the ice has been forming fast,
and is OF an excellent quality, and
thickness and those having ice houses
to fill began this task Tuesday morn
ing. W. S. Camper, the ice man
who supplies this town with ice dur
ing the warm season, commenced on
Tuesday of this week to fill his hous-
es. one of which is Of four-hundred
ton capacity. SO while the cold is
detrimental to most businesses, 1t is
putting a broad smile on the face OF
the ice man.
MANY automobiles were put out OF
Commission for the time being during
the intense cold by the water freezing
in them while in action along the
roads. many having to be hauled to
the home of their owners with teams,
y Those who are filling their ice
houses are getting eight inch ice;
rather an uncommon thickness for
this climate.

SPARROW OF GREAT BENEFIT
Bird Has Been UnJustly Malianed,
Says Kansas ESpert-DeVours
Much Weed Seed.

The despised and lowly English spar
row is in reality as much of a benefit
as a detriment to the farmer, in the
opinion of DIR. Mary 7. Harman, as.
slstant professor of zoology in the Kan
sas state agricultural college.
"The English sparrow" said Doctor
Harman, "has been greatly maligned
and in many cases unjustly, because of
its habit of nesting in barns, under the
caves of porches, and even in attics.
"The sparrow is doing much toward
keeping down the dandeliOn pest. The
birds are seed eaters and weed seeds
are an important factor in their menu,

PRODUCTION OF POULTRY


The average size Of the farm
flock in the United States is 40
hens. If the average is In
creased to 100 hens next year
there will be an increase Of g.
100000 pounds Of much needed
food-pOultry and eggs. An
equal number Of pounds Of beef
and pork would thus be saved
for army purposes. Many farms,
Of course. can have fiOcks Of
several hundred, and some
farms wilI- have to keep less.
But the effort Of the food ad-
ministratiOn is to Increase the
farm average to at least 100
hens.
It is an astonishing fact that
there are III million eggless
farms in the United States-an
economic anomaly and an agri-
cultural absurdity. Even If we
had never been forced to go to
war with Germany this cOndi-
tiOn would be one demanding
every effort at cOrrectlOn-fOr
each farm can, at least, produce
sufficient poultry and eggs for
home consumption, and thereby
be a more profitable farm.
Milford chronicle., 1918-01-04
EnuIIsh Sparrow.

One Of the strongest arguments in ia.
vor Of the birds, is that they consume
large numbers of termites, cabbage
worms, and alfalfa weevils. The food
Of the sparrOws in the city is mostly
waste material.
an a few cases where the destruc-
tiOn Of the sparrows is desirable, pOis-
Oned bait such as wheat and other
small grains may be used. It must be
remembered, however, that what will
kill the sparrOws will also kill more
desirable birds. AS a general rule the
good that the sparrow accOmplishes
more than offsets the harm"

SOON OVER HIS COLD.

Everyone speaks well of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy after having used
it. Mrs. George Lewis, Pittsfield, N.
Y, has this to say regarding it: Last
winter my little boy, five years old, was
sick with a cold for two or three weeks.
l doctored him and used various cough
medicines but nothing did him much
good until began using Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy. He then improved rap
idly and in few days was over his cold. q"

SELECTION OF BROOD SOWS
Leave Out arrow-chested, Pinch
BeIlied Ones to Be Prepared for
Convenient Market.

Pigs raised by a mature SOW get
better start while young and give
greater profits than the pigs from
young, immature SOW. To increase
the number of brood sOws by selection
from last falls litters, one should
choose the thrifty, broad-chested sOws
and leave out the narrow-chested,
oinch-bellied ones to lie prepared for a
market for a convenient season.

Cotton

A general impression that important
political developments might take place
over Sunday served to restrict business
in the cotton market yesterday, and
good part of the trading was attributed
to the evening up of old commitments.
Fluctuations were correspondingly mar
row and irregular. After selling off to
30.75 early, December rallied to 1926
and closed at 1884, compared with 30.87
at the close of Friday. The general list
closed steady, net unchanged to Is
points lower.
Reports continue to come in from the
South indicating that spot holders, be-
ing impressed by peace prospects, are
indifferent sellers. This view of the
situation is colored by the fact that
Southern selling here has fallen off
sharply since Germany started her
vices were sustaining factor yesterday
morning. The market opened steady at
a decline of 7 points to an advance of
3 points, and the more active positions
sold to II points net lower shortly
after the call under realizing. In the
absence OF Southern selling, there were
not many contracts offering, however,
and the market iirmed up during the
middle of the morning on covering and
scattered buying, which seemed to have
behind it a feeling that the next Ger
man note would be in the direction of
peace. The advance was checked by re-
newed realizing, with late months rela-
lively easy in the late trading.
There was some bullish comment on
the rains reported in the South, but the
impression is that cotton will continue
to make until killing frost appears, and
the statistical position generally seems
bearish. Both the takings Of spinners
and the export movement are running
behind last years, and, rejecting the
state of demand or transportation ia
cilities, the into-sight movement is also
running short of last years figures. In
der these conditions cotton is believed
to be accommodating rapidly in the in
terror, and there was a wire from a
Georgia point claiming that warehouses
were becoming SO crowded they would
not accept further shipments of cotton
unless they were intended for imme-
date sale.
The range of prices follows:

Cereals

Wheat.-The food administration
has apparently become more or less
exercised over the question Of the acre
age planted and to be planted for next
years crop. The fact that the govern
ment has fixed the price for both this
and the next crop at $3.50 has st;mu-
lated the farmers to undue activity in
the direction of extensive planting on
erations. Since the peace prospects in
Europe have become brighter the prob
lem OF values On a peace basis has
caused more or less speculation as to
how the market will act in the event
OF actual peace arriving before next
season.
Under present conditions the govern
ment has guaranteed to maintain the
price and in case Europe can draw
heavily upon the Southern hemisphere
TOR supplies it seems to be entirely
probable that the government will have
to make good its pledge. which NAV
entail the outlay of a very large
amount Of money. Furthermore, it is
feared that with the price of wheat
maintained and the other grains left
to the dictation of the supply and de-
mand situation farmers will raise more
wheat and less coarse grains and fod-
ders, which might work out to the dis
advantage Of the country at large in
connection with feeding of farm ami
mails.
CCrn.-The corn market on Saturday
was nervous, but prices were firmer
closing with net gains OF / &c to 3hsc
Shorts we're good buyers and there was
a general disposition on the part OF the
trade to even uD contracts for over
Sunday. There were persistent rumors
that an important announcement in re-
gard to political conditions in Europe
was pending and the trade was looking
for Developments of critical impor-
lance. Furthermore. it was rumored
that the food adminstratio is work
ing on plans to stabilize the coarse
grams. Just what plan Of action is
contemplated, ii any, was not an
nounced. but the feeling has been
growing stronger the past week that
the government is in favor OF coarse
grains maintaining at least a fair par
lty with the price of wheat. So far no
export business has come to light IN
connection with the governments nlan
Of buying. and. as a matter of Fact
shipping conditions are not believed 70
be favorable for a large business ~
