CAREFUL HOG FEEDING NECESSARY.

In many parts of the United States those who
are feeding hogs must figure very carefully to
make profit out of the business even at present
ngh prices. In the heavy corn-producing states
IKE ILLINOIS, Iowa and Indiana the price of 100
pounds OF hogs at the farm this spring has
generally been about the price of II bushels of
corn This gives safe margin to work on. Feed
ers IN those states are accustomed to figure that
they can make 100 pounds of pork from 10 bush
els OF corn. But during the five-year period 1910
IA, the price of 100 pounds of hogs would nav
Tor about IA to Is bushels Of corn. There must
ne less waste of feed now and less from disease
It feeders are to feel satisfied with the seasons
returns Taking the average farm prices re-
ported for the whole country this spring. 100
pounds of hogs would pay for only 10 bushels of
corn while for the tive-year period referred to
they would pay for II bushels.
These comparisons suggest that the bulk Of
the pork now going to market has little profit
IN 1t. The very severe winter cut down gains
on young hogs during January and February. 50
that the returns this year are less than usual
Making pork for immediate marketing is as
much a matter of patriotism as anything else.
and yet there is nothing else to do with large
shoatS mat have been on a full feed but to
push them right along to market weights and
condltlon. To turn them on pasture without grain
would mean a severe setback and very little net
gam for the entire summer Pasture and corn
can be counted on to put the finishing touches
on 1all shoats with economy and dispatch. Hogs
and pigs that are to be carried ON through the
summer must make large use of green feed in
order to keep down the cost of gains, and con-
serve corn for its final use in fattening both
hogs and other meat animals The luxurious
clover with which most of the country is bless
ed will be Of inestinable service in this sum
mer's hog feeding.
Occasionally one that comes back refuses 70

Lucia, for example.

THEIR UNIFORMS.

There was a time, and that not so long since
when the streets of our cities were made attrac-
tive by character Of feminine apparel that
aroused comment. The grave the gay, the flip
pant and the cynical all had their word, the bur-
den Of which, however variously expressed, was
to the effect that the spectacle was not altogeth-
Ter keeping with world affairs in general
But q change has come, one against which no
shaft OF sarcasm or bludgeon of reprobation will
be directed. Today the streets are enlivened by
the uniform of the Red Cross. 1t is revelation
to the masculine mind. With its arrival there
is the disarming and conquering of many
long-cherished suspicion and misgiving. There
is put away forever the thought that woman
was about to be emancipated through a quasi
holiness and effrontery. Far wiser than man
ever dreamed of her. she has surpassed the
generalship of Foch by the immensely of her
powers Of reserve. Leading the enemy on by va
rious wiles, patiently biding her time when the
hour for the great drive arrived she cast aside
the light artillery of the hoyden and struck
across No Mans Land, an inconquerable phalanx
Of meek Griseldas. Is it any wonder that the
tribute is pouring out in every quarter, that one
citadel after another capitulates before the de-
manu- VI surrender as Jne lnVlncl-
bic hosts go over the top?
And to think that they knew all the time I
Womens powers of self-suppression will be a
proverb henceforth. Fashions vagaries will do
for the days of froth and ease, but with the
coming of the times of trial she turns instinct
lively to her secret resources and brings there
from her strongest weapon, arraying herself in
the outward sembanceS of the meek and quiet
spirit against which it were hopeless to strug-
gle. And how the uniform becomes them all.
tall and short, thin and, en- plump, old and
young
This feeble though sincere tribute, it is con-
idently believed will not be taken as untimely or
inappropriate. 1t is said that the soldiers at
the front find amid pastoral scenes necessary
relief from the hardships and horrors of war.
Il this be proper with them, then perhaps we
nave not offended by attempting to render ar
ticulate the inarticulate emotions of millions of
our felloT men at home.

of people could disregard all dictates of human
ty and resort to tactics which not even the early
vandals embraced. The German military mind
stops at nothing, literally, whicS blocks its way
10 an objective 1t is this total disregard Of all
principles Of humanity which has been the great
est single factor in uniting the civilized world
against the demented, war-rdden despots of
Germany. And it is this principle which will
keep chem bound together until Germany and
the German reversion to barbarity are erased
from the face of the aerth.

GEORGE v. LEWIS IS
DEAD IN THE COUNTY

George Washington Lewis, native
of Frederick county, Va, but for years
a resident of near Gerrar1stown, this
county, died Monday morning at his
home, following an illness due to his
advanced age of "a years.
Mr.. Lewis was well-known about
Gerrardstown and was the founder of
Trinity Lutheran church, of that
place, as well as a widely known
religious person. The funeral took
place al 10 O'Clock this morning from
Trinity church and the remains were
buried in the adjoining cemetery.

GERMAN CHIVALRY.

German methods Of warfare" has become
synonymous with "barbarism and inhumanity'
since July, 1914, and no more evidence is need
ed to prove it than the attack made by German
airmen on Sunday against American hospitals
behind the lines in Picardy.
Even in war it has been the international I'M
derstanding that certain non-combatant factors
are to be accorded at least the protection of no
attack. Helpless women and children fall into
this class, and hospitals also. It is only the
breakdown Of the last semblance Of a sense Of
humanity which would permit persons to violate
the acknowledged neutrality Of such elements.
This is just what has happened in the case of
Germany, unbelievable as it at first seemed. The
mind, conscious Of the advance which had been
made in the way Of civilization, fought against
me necessity Of having to admit That millions
