The Third Liberty Loan closed in this district Saturday, May f. with subscription list of S5O,6O Our quota was "A, GOO. thus we more than doubled our necessary amount. The govern ment gives an honor flag for all dis tricts which exceed their quota, and it is planned that each town which partic- ipated in the loan in this district shall have an opportunity 10 fly this flag in return for their patriotic and whole hearted help.
 The thanks of the entire district are due to those who freely gave their time to the loyal duty of making this loan success and to those who partici- pated in the loan.
 This loan proves two things to our enemies: first, by the amount sub scribed that the finances of our people are at the call of our government; and, second, by the number of subscribers that our citizens are backlug the gov ernment both morally and financially.
 The following recapitulation gives the subscriptions by sections as closely as can be told by names and addresses of the subscribers.

Classes of Food

Human food can be divided into two
classes: The tissue building foods are
called protein: Cheese. meat. eggs,
fish, beans, peas. peanuts oatmeal and
such foods are rich in protein. The
other class of nutrients include starch,
fat, sugar and fiber. These produce
heat and energy. /. e., keep the body
warm and furnish the energy to do
work A. good deal like coal in the
locomotive, it both furnishes heat 10
warm the train. Starch. sugar. pork,
butter, lard. tallow and bacon are
good examples OF foods rich in this
nutrient. Most foods contain both nu-
trients as bread. cereals. cheese, meat.
eggs, beans. peas and milk. Good nour-
ishment consists in having these two
Classes of nutrients supplied in tbs
right proportions. To a certain extent
one food rich in protein can take
thei place Of another, as cheese, eggs,
beams, peanuts fish and meat This
makes possible effecting saving by
using the one that Is least expensive

Cabbages for Cows
Nv e. v, LINDEN

The value of cab bages as a green feed
for cows is not fully recognized. The
animals soon acquire great fondness
for them and will eat every part, in
Guiding the woody stem. My own cows
seem to enjoy meal of cabbages quite
as much as their daily portion of ce-
real. The effect is to increase the flow
of milk noticeably. Contrary to the
prevailing notion, I cannot discover
that the milk is at all tainted. OF
course do not feed to the point of
satisfaction. Rather I use the vege-
table as a sort of delicacy.
Cabbages intended for COW feed
should be the large heading varieties.
An abundance of envAloping leaves is
all the better 1t is wise to provide
succession in order that there may be
continuous supply through the sum.
mer and fall A supply for winter also
comes in very handy. Considered from
every angle this vegetable is a money
saver in furnishing a substitute for
high priced hay and grains.
I find that cabbages are remark
ably easy crop to raise. The early
crop, of course. must be from trans
paintings. Later crops, however, may
be more conveniently produced from
direct planting of the seed. MY own
practice is to drop five or six seed in
hill, later thinning to the sturdiest
plant. When the plants attain some
size, they must be cultivated with
horse cultivator just as corn is tended.
One acre will produce neaty 10000
heads. Consider what a vast amount
of feed this will provide.

ditioned on the size of the litter and
the milking qualities of the sow
good herdsman, for the first week
at least after narrowing, will look the
pigs over carefully before each feed
ing. If any indications of scours ap-
pear the sow's feed should be reduced
Immediately or possibly cut out en-
tirely. A heavy feed of rich slop given
when scours begin to show up possibly
may kill the entire litter A little extra
care for these few days is absolutely
necessary.
When the pigs are from four to
five to 10 days old, be on the Iookou,
for thumps. The best looking fat little
Zig is the one to go first every time.
An almost certain indication is little
roll of fat around the neck. While
there is no known cure for thumps, the
trouble is quite easily prevented.
Plenty of exercise for the pigs is the
answer. In cold, stormy weather out
of-door exercise is impossible but if
central narrowing house with an
alleyway is used, get the littlefat fell
lows into the alley and put in about
10 or Is minutes three or four times
day chasing them with buggy whip
until they are pretty we'll tired out. II
this is impossible, try putting one or
two of the little pigs at a time in
large barrel or hogshead, placed by the
narrowing pen. The pigs will hear the
old SOW making fuss and in running
around the barrel hunting for a corner
to climb out, generally will take the
exercise necessary to ward off thumps
considerable part of the battle is
won II the litter gets past the first 10
days or so with a good start.

Future Price Prospects

What will next years crop prices
be? Perhaps the January report of the
Secretary of Agriculture may give US
a clew. On January 1. 1918. the index
of prices Of farm crops for the en-
tire United States was 43.8 per cent
higher than two years ago, and 1921
per cent higher than the average of
the last 10 years on the corresponding
dates The tendency is upward and
must continue so as long as the war
lasts. The worlds production is al
ready below it's normal consumption.
Everywhere heroic efforts are being
made DO save food. AS long as we con-
tinue to draw men from production
and turn them to consumption, food
Will become scarcer and it's price will
continue to rise.
Suppose the war is ended SUDDENLY
How about prices then? For mate
rails which go into munitions and
war supplies, the prices will probably
decline rapidly. For farm crops
hardly. 1t will take a year, perhaps
two, for the world, Europe in par
ticular, to start rehabilitation, and get
back into production channels. The
danger to transatlantic shipping will
have been removed and food crops will
move to Europe much more readily
and in greater quantities than at pres
ent. This will mean ready demand
for everything America can produc )
and at good prices.
Whether the war continues or peace
Genes the American farmer Is as
sured of good prices for everything,
he can produce for sometime to Gomez
Heavy investments in the tools andA
means of production can be made with
safety.

$4,000 Pounds of Milk
by w. w. SWEET

Carlotta Campus Girl, a Holstein COW,
has completed a four-year-old record OF
%, 0373 pounds milk in the University OF
Missouri herd. In one day during this
lactation period she produced 1913 pounds
of milk. This is the best record for one
day for any COW of her age In the state
of Missouri and the second best for
cows of any age in the state She IS
the fourth cow in the University of Mis-
souri, herd to make milk record above
22,0O0 pounds and the sixth to make
milk record above 10000 pounds in one
year.
Carlotta Campus Girl was born Febru-
airy S, 1912. She freshened for the first
time at the age of 2 years months Is
days, and produced in one year Is, 725.1
pounds of milk This gave her the high
est record for 2-year-olds in the state
of Missouri and was more thanS 5000
pounds more than the famous Missouri
Chief Josephine produced at that same
age.
The sire of Carlotta Campus Girl was
a son of Missouri Chief Josephine, the
most famous COW Missouri has ever
known. In spite of the fact that she has
been dead for several years, Missouri
Chief Josephine is still alive in the
minds of the people of Missouri, who
continually inquire about the great COW
Whenever they visit the university dairy.
Her record for one day was 1902 pounds
Of milk. while the amount produced In
one year was 26.S615 pounds This gave
her fourth place In the Holstein breed
and because Of the interest which she
aroused she was given free ride" on
special agricultural trains. On this trip
she travelled $3.50 miles and was viewed
by $3.50 people who passed through her
car.

THE SOW AT NARROWING TIME

More than ordinary care should be
taken OF the spring crop of pigs this
year, the swine specialists of the
united States department of agricul-
ture point out. Every pig that it is
possible to save must be looked after.
This takes hit of extra care--prob-
ably few sleepless nights and getting
out IN some mighty nasty weather but
these Inconvenience are necessary if
we are to meet the demands for pork
Do not confine the sow in her far
rowing pen more than As hours before
narrowing time II 1t is possible to avoid
doing so. Reduce the heavy feed to
some extent, probably about half, for
that length of time. The narrowing
house or pen should be comfortably
warm, we'll ventilated, and we'll lighted.
Above all else. it should be well
bedded. Do not allow any circulation
of air under the floor. Too many hog
growers make the mistake of bedding
too lightly. Heavy bedding naturally
make the sow comfortable and warm
conditions necessary If she is to be
quiet. Use wheat or rye straw Wild
hay is good. as Is millet. Do not use
oat straw unless there is absolutely
nothing else at hand.
Under no circumstances should the
SOW have any feed whatever for "a
hours after narrowing. She must how
ever, have plenty of water at frequent
intervals This water must not be lev
cold-that drawn directly from the
well is about the right tempera ture.
Commence after "a hours feeding
lightly, increasing the feed gradually
for probably week or 10 days, when
she may be gotten onto full feed, con-

HANDLING WORKOUT SOILS

One of the greatest needs in order
to increase the production of crops
on worn soils Is the addition of a lib
eral supply of h1.nus or vegetable
matter to the soil. This need is be-
ing supplied by many enterprising
farmers by growing legume crops and
turning them under. That the farmers
who have adopted this practice are
being amply repaid is shown by the
increased yields which they are able
to secure.
On one farm in Caroline county, vir-
GINA the regular practice had been
to grow corn on the land one year
in three and to allow each field to
rest during the other two years.
The resting" process was to allow
weeds and trash to grow up and thus
accumulate sufficient fertility for an
other crop of corn. With this system
of cropping the yield of corn ranged
generally from Is to IS bushels.
The Improvement Of the soil on this
farm began first by planting one Of
the poorest fields to cowpeas The
ccwpeas were cut for hay and the
stutble disked and seeded to Grim
son clover. The following spring the
crimson clover crop was turned under
and the field planted to corn. At the
last working of the corn, crimson
clover was again sown. <he following
spring the same process was repeated

New Hog-Shipping Rule

The bureau of animal industry, with
a view to facilitating the movement
Of stock hogs from public markets to
the lots of feeders. has promulgated a
new rule, which provides:
stock hogs may be moved out of the
public markets after they have satisfac-
tcrily passed test under the supervis
ion of a regular bureau inspector and
have shown temperature of less than
l04 degrees and do not show any symp-
toms of any contagious disease. They
may be vaccinated. either with the serum
alone or with the double treatment.
1.-THE hogs must be dipped in a solution
approved by the federal authorities and
under their supervision, then stood in
pens for three hours, after which they
can be shipped into any state, providing
the state authorities and the party pur-
chasing the hogs will agree that they will
be kept on the premises of the pur-
chaser in quarantine for at least three
weeks"
This new ruling does away with hold

or three weeks after they have been

Farm Prices Compared

The weighted average price of prin
cipal crops at the farm for 1915 was
about the same as for 1914 or only
per cent greater. but in 1916 or only /
was AZ per cent over 1915, and in
lo17 1t was 43 per cent over 1916,
while ir 1917 the gain over 1915. two
years previous. was 10 per cent The
prices taken are for December.
This two-year gain of ITO per cent is
exceeded most of all by the kafirs, for
which the increase of price at the farm
was 25S per cent. Next below in or
der are broom corn with 220 per cent,
hops with 1879 per cent. tobacco with
IVA er cent, and cotton lint with 15z
per cent. Other cereals now appear,
ana corn, the greatest of the cereals.
rad gain of 1913 per cent in price at
the farm, barley 12O per cent, and
wheat 119 per cent.
Below the average advance of 10
per cent in price in two years, the
scale descends to 100 per cent each
for cotton seed and rice. los per cent
for dry edible beans 103 per cent for
buckwheat, and 102 per cent for wild
hay. Every one of the crops so far
mentioned more than doubled in price
in two years; corn, barley, and wheat
more than doubled by one-ffth.
rive crops, none of which is of small
Importance, gained in price in the two
years from n to 80 per cent-rye
oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes and ap-
pies. Seven crops gained from SIS to

onions, flaxseed, peaches peanuts,
tame hay and cranberries, the hay
crop, of course, being of high impor-
lance. Gains of 20 to A per cent in
price were made by hemp, clover seed
sugar cane, peas and sugar beets ana
for oranges the gain was only 9 per
cent.
The price gains of animal products
at the farm during the two years are
lower in geenral than the crop-price
gains in general. and lower than the

Work on Southern Farms


During the year 1917 the farmers of
the south did wonderful piece OF
work. In the face of an increasing
price for cotton they responded to the
call of the President of the United
States and increased their production
of food and feed crops and also their
production of live stock. In some OF
the states the increase in corn produce
ton ran more than 80 per cent, and
the increase in the Is southern states
was 13 per cent in spite of the great
decrease in Texas, Oklahoma and
Louisiana, due to excessive drouth.
The increases in velvet beans, pea
nuts. soy beans, hay, forage crops,
gardens. sugar. strip. etc, have been
phenomenal, but not more than our
people needed. For the first year in
recent history of the south the bureau
of markets has been able to report
that the local demands for corn have
been met by the local supply in many
sections
