merely the human reaction to loyalty

"Kamerad," and lifted his hands only
to drop them swiftly as the rifle was
lowered and shot the soldier. to whom
he had spoken. Swift death was his
reward. Another fought bravely until
overpowered then openly and frankly
tossed aside all his arms and refused
to break his parole in the melee; strict
orders were given that he be allowed to
wear his iron cross. Men bow to honor
in whatever uniform they find it. The
cross brought it forth as has every ex-
hibition of 1t since, but there is some
thing deeper than this in the crucifxion.
Something happened there that did not

question the fact and it is upon the fact

Exercise Prevents Pig Thumps.

When the pigs are from four or five
to ten days old, be on the lookout for
thumps. The best-looking fat little
pig is the one to go first every time.
An almost certain indication is lit
tie roll of fat around the neck. While
there is no known cure for tbumps,
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 al
leyway is used, get the little fat fell
lows into the alley and put In about
ten or fifteen minutes three or four
times a day chasing them with a bug
,gy whip, until they are pretty well
tired out. If this is impossible, try
putting one or two Of the little pigs at
a time in a large barrel or hogshead,
placed by the narrowing pen. The
pigs will hear the old sow making a
fuss and in running around the bar
rel hunting for corner to climb out,
generally will take the exercise neces-
sary to ward off thumps. A consider
able part of the battle is won If the
litter gets past the first ten days or
so with good start.

Reduce Fly Injury to Stock.

Here are some of the preventive
measures advocated by the United
States department of agriculture TO
decrease the losses of animals due to
the larvae of flies: Burning or deep
burying of carcasses of animals, the
arranging of breeding operations so
that young stock will be born in late
fall, winter or early spring, the carry
ing on in winter and early spring
months of branding, dehornfng and
other operations resulting in wounds,
taking precautions to prevent injury
to live stock from pens and fences or
while on range or in pasture. the de-
struction of ticks and the poisoning
and trapping of flies. Farmers Bull
letin S57 describes the damage these
flies do and methods of controlling
them. Burning or burying carcasses
is very important, 1t is pointed out,
since it is on this material that mag
gots, infesting wounds, are chiefly de-
pendent for propagation. If all decay
ing animal matter could be destroyed,
the troublesome blow fiies-the insect
bringing about maggot infestation-
would be practically exterminated.

many years. The increase in the num-
Der of birds is attributed to the aboli-
ton of spring shooting under the OPP
Grafton of the federal regulations. The
law already has been very beneficial
to sportsmen and as food protective
measure, and under the continuance of
existing protection there is every rea-
son TO hope for an eyer-increasing sup
ply of wild fowl which will greatly inn
prove shooting conditions in the years
to come.
The department appeals to the pa
triotism and true craftsmanship Of all
persons TO cooperate with it in the
enforcement of the federal law. Ii
is gratifying to know, says a recent
statement from the department, that
the majority of sportsmen have OBJ
served the regulations, and this fact
has contributed largely to the success
eul results accomplished. The depart
ment has planned to increase its force
of wardens who Will be active during
the spring migration in securing evil
dence upon which to base prosecutions
against those who may violate the
law.

DEMAND VERMONT
SEED POTATOES
Long Island Growers Pleased with
Their Purchases Last Year and
Want 80 to so Cars.

ST. ALBANS, July l0-For several
years some large potato growers from
Long Island have been to Vermont to
purchase seed potatoes Last fall, the
Randolph Center Seed Potato Growers
association sold to those men several
carloads OF seed at $l40 per bushel, on
board cars, at Randolph station. Yer
mont seed potatoes have done so well
and the potato growers of Long Island
have been anxious to increase the sup
ply: that a considerable sum of money
was offered in prizes to encourage the
growing of a larger acreage of better
seed potatoes in the vicinity of Ran
dolph.
Commissioner of Agriculture L. S.
Brigham has recently received letter
from III. h. Talmage, one of the growers,
stating that the Vermont seed is quite
free from Objectionable diseases which
are found in seed from other sources and
that it is desired to find from 30 to 50
cars of seed in Vermont this fall. Pota-
toes of the Green Mountain and Irish
Gobbler types are required A party of
Long Island growers will visit Vermont
in the early part of August, examining
the potato fields in all parts of the state.
This opens up very profitable indus
try to Vermont farmers and offers pros
pect of bringing a great deal of revenue
to the state.

Capital in Dairy Farming.

Very few people realize the amount
of money invested in the dairy farms
of the country. The department of
agriculture reports that on January
], 1913, there were 23,3S4, 600 mich
cows on farms in the United States.
and these cows We're valued at 81 ,643.-
639,000. Add to this figure the value
of lands, buildings and machinery
used in dairy farming, and the aggre
gate is stupendous.
The investment in individual dairy
farms varies considerably, being in
fluenced by land values, the number
and kind of buildings, and the quality
of the cattle kept. A modern dairy
of 30 COWS, capable of producing a
daily average of 500 quarts of milk,
would require an investment in equip
ment of approximately $4,000. This
would be divided as follows:

NEW YORK, July l0.-The govern
ment crop report was the feature of the
grain developments yesterday. The win
ter wheat report showed little falling
off in several states, particularly in the
Pacific Northwest, and there was also
some falling off in the spring wheat
promise in the same sections, so that the
total wheat promise decreased 40,000000
bushels for the month, but is still 240,-
100000 bushels more than last year. The
total crop of food grains, including rice
amounts to the immense total of 1916
100000 bushels, against 747 900, 600 bush
els last year and $4,000, 900 bushels the
previous five-year average
The promise of the other food crops is
also very high, the total of all potatoes
being 73,000,000 bushels more than the
tiye-year average, and the promise of the
feed grain crops, which are now so inn
portant on account of the question of
substitutes, is 56S,000000 bushels more
than the five-year average. These very
promising crop conditions have been
maintained excepting in localities since
June |. 1t is possible that in portions
of Montana and North Dakota there
have been some losses in condition, but
otherwise there is probably very little
change from the June | outlook In the
southwest rain is needed for corn and
also for the vegetable crops.

MADE IN ESTIMATES
Record Production in Corn, Most Val
liable of All the Count1y's Crops Is
Promised, with Estimate of $780,
100000 Bushels.

WASHINGTON, July l0-Government
hopes for billion bushel wheat crop re-
ceiyed setback yesterday when the de
partment of agriculture's July forecast
showed reduction of 10000, 900 bushels
in the prospective crop. Unfavorable
weather conditions during June cut the
estimated harvest to S9l 100000 bushels
from the 93l 100000 bushels forecast in
June. Production estimates on other
crops also were slightly reduced.
A record production of corn, the most
valuable of all the country's crops, is
promised with an estimate of 3,l60,000,-
600 bushels.
Although June weather was somewhat
unfavorable for most crops, indications
are that the seasons harvest will make
this a bumper year In addition to a
record crop of corn. barley, rye, sweet
potatoes and rice are forecast to exceed
all previous yearly production and the
harvests of oats, white potatoes, tobacco
and hay will be larger than the average
of the five years 1912 to 1916.
Wheat, Notwithstanding the reduction
caused by the months poor weather, will
have a larger production than the five
year average of S09,000,000 bushels. Gov
eminent crop experts explain that the
final output of the crops will be larger
or smaller than forecast by them yester-
day as conditions from now to time of
harvest are better or worse than the
average.

Added to T. would be the value of
horses and horse barn, dwelling house,
harnesses. farm machinery. etc.
The value of the land itself is the
included in this estimate because of
its variability. If land worth $50 an
acre is used, the land investment
would be close to $4,000. If $500 land
is bought, its cost would approximate
$4,000.

ferent in Small Towns.

In the handling of foodstuffs the
American people constantly demand in
creased service. Package goods, deliv-
cries and special deliveries, buying in
small quantities and so on, all require
additional labor by some one. The
milk consumer now is accustomed to
find a bottle of clean, cold milk on
the doorstep in the morning. If the
milkman is late or does not come at
all, vigorous complaint is voiced. Such
a complaint is likely to be based on a
lack of understanding of the many
difficult steps involved in the modern
system of distributing milk.

Jp Before Daybreak.

Way off in the country somewhere,
perhaps as far as 200 miles, some
farmer must rise before daybreak to
feed and milk his cows. The milk
must be carefully cooled to keep il

several miles over sometimes almost
impossible roads to the railroad.

Then begins the long haul to the
city where the milk is carried on big
trucks to the dealers plant. There it
is carefully pasteurized, bottled and
placed in the refrigerator. The next
morning about one or two o'clock the
bottled milk is loaded on the delivery
wagon and the driver starts ON bis
way, carrying from 800 to 400 quarts,
all of which must be delivered before
breakfast time. OF course in small
towns this system is simpler, as the
farmer often delivers the milk directly
to the consumer, but even then there
are so many difficulties that the milk
man may be excused if he is a little
late now and then.

SWIMMING SEASON A BIG ONE
Indoor Sport Expected to Gain Rather
Than to Lose as Result Of Euro
pean War.

The indoor swimming season OF
1918, just opening, will gain rather
than lose, as result of the war. Al
though many expert swimmers are in
the service, there are enough star wa
ter men left to put up lively competi-
ton. The ranks OF the woman swim
mers have not been affected by the
war, and many new mermaids have
made their debuts In the tanks. Col
leges and high schools all have
planned for a big swimming season
and the open field swimmers are like
wise preparing for keen competition.
In the ranks of the American Aquatic
union are enough youngsters and vet
Grams to guarantee lively matches
throughout the season. The general
slump in other sports, swimmers be-
lieve, will bring aquatics TO the fore.
