The Tears of Rheims

We had motored almost all night on the way to Rheims writes Howard Wheeler, editor of Everybody's. Tt was raining hard and very cold. The morn ing was a little brighter We were al- most five miles out when we got our first view of the cathedral-'La Glori- euse Mutilee, the French call 1t
 We stopped at some distance and walked toward the entrance. There were great holes where pavement had once been, and the whole area around the cathedral was waste from glanc- Ing shells or misaimed shells which had been fired at the historic struc- ture. And from this debris. from the fallen stone that will always stand as monument to the Hun, there rose that wonderful statue of the Maid of Or leans. untouched; not even, nick in the upraised sword.
 Inside it was the old story over again. There were great holes in the roof. demolished statuary, torn pave ment. Even on the spot where Jeanne d'Arc stood near the main altar while Charles VII was being crowned King of France was obliterated forever The same terrible story-with one differ ence. A portion of the roof had been of wood covered with lead. At the time of the first bombardment interior re- pairs were under way. The lombard merit set fire to the scaffolding and the flames caught the roof. The lead sheat- ing melted. dripping on the floor or running down the walls.

Southern Hog Pastures

Tn a resume of the above bulletin. which can be secured by writing to division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washing- ton, D. C., calling for Bulletin NO. ssl, it is stated that:
 Green forage is essential to the eco nomical production of pork.
 A premanent pasture, supplementco with quick growing, heavy-yieldins. temporary forage crops is most satis- factory.
 There should be on an average one acre of permanent pasture for eacn brood SOW kept. 1,
 Some of the yielding, quick growing forage crops will add consid- erable feed to the quantity produced by a permanent pasture.
 There should be mature crops, sucn as corn, soy beans, peanuts or veINet beans, for finishing the hogs in tae fall. Oats, rye and wheat give satislac- tory winter grazing. ,
 Green forage alone is little better than a maintenance ration. Where rapid gains are desired, the hogs should have liberal allowance or grain. The rule should be- all the grain they will eat without waste.
 Woven wire hog fencing tackled 10 stakes makes the best temporary fence.
 Growing forage crops and grazing them off on the land is an efficient method of improving soils depleted Tn organic matter.
 The exercise obtained in grazing ex- erts beneficial influence on the health of hogs.

Patriotic Woman

One of the most patriotic farmers of DeKalb county is Mrs. M. J. Wilks. All her sons will soon be fighting in France. leaving only three daughters to help carry on the farm work. Mrs. Wilks has the true patriotic spirit, saying that she was glad the government could use her sons, and that she and her daugh- tars would remain at home and feed 9 soldiers at the front, according to County Afent H. w. Barnett. He says that this lady now has on hand good sup ply of sirup and honey and that she has a considerable number of sheep, goats and hogs and a fine crop growing.
 Mir. Barrow Wilson of Etowah county has 40 acres of truck, cotton and corn, from which there is every indication that he will realize $50O0 this year, says County Agent J. H. Witherington. Dur ing the latter part of July and early August he sold each day more than $lOo worth of watermelons and canteloupes, says MT. Witherington.
 The pig clubs of Choctaw county are doing good work, according to A. c. Harrell, the county demonstration agent. He recently visited a considerable num- Der Of the members and discussed with them plans for making their pigs grow faster and making larger gains MT. liar rell states that he found the pigs or some of these boys gaining as mgh as 50 pounds per month.
 In a recent report County Agent Il. H. Best of Washington county, says that he had just charged three dipping vats, helping to build one hog vat finished buii6ing one cattle dipping vat, terraced two fields and made arrangements 10 ship pears in carload lots. This report shows some of the lines along which the demonstration agents work, and the in estmable value of their services to the farmers

Must Keep Records

Circular No. fl, issued by the federal food administration and designed to con- trol the handling of cotton by ginners, has been revoked and new order has been issued. The new order, which took effect July l, is as follows:
 Attention is hereby called to Rule 8 of the special license regulations of the food administration (No. 9, effective July i, 1918: No licensee owning, con trolling or operating a ginnery, shall make unreasonable charge for the seIv- ice of cleaning seed cotton or separating the seed from the lint.
 "Ginners are to keep a correct record showing the name and address of each party for whom they gin cotton, the amount of cotton ginned in each case, and the actual charge made for such service. They must be in position at all times to furnish detailed informa- tion to the food administration. 'It is necessary that ginners perform this service in such a way that seed cotton shall be cleaned and the lint re- moved in an efficient manner Such for eign substances as are removed from the seed cotton shall not be returned to the seed but the seed shall be kept in a clean condition. Ginners are not per- mitted to mix any foreign material with cotton seed during the time that 1t IS under their control or in their posses sion.
 "The charge for ginning shall be the same whether or not the cotton or the cotton seed is purchased by the ginner. "Ginners are to gin as rapidly as pos sible, consistent with good work. all dry seed cotton rendered them, and upon de- lnand they are to return to the owner the cotton and cotton seed ginned by
 them. If cotton seed is purchased the ginner must be guided by Rule 5, and
 circular No 40 (which has been sent to all ginners).

Smut Loss Large

The loss caused by preventable sn.uts of wheat and oats is so large as to be almost unbelievable by those who have not given the matter careful study, says Dr. G. l.. Petite, of the plant dis ease department of the Alabama exten- sion service. According to the figures given out by MT. F. W. Gist. crop re- ported for Alabama, the oats acreage this year was 5S3O00, and wheat 140OO0. This should give an approximate yield of 10, 3S4 900 bushels of oats and 1,568,0CO bushels of wheat
 A survey conducted by the office of cereal investigations showed that the approximate damage done by prevent able smuts to the oats crop of Alabama this year amounted to S.6S per cent, and to the wheat l23 per cent. This amounts to approximately 9SS, ,000 bushels of oats and 192, 800 of wheat. Figuring the value of oats at so cents and the wheat at 8 20 per bushei, we have .re tremendous total of s1,214,30O as the damage done by preventable smuts in Alabama this year.
 Inasmuch as the cost of preventing this immense loss from smut is so small, 1t IS little less than criminal to allow It to continue. One cent per bushel Will cover the cost of treating the seed before plant ing This treatment will almost entirely prevent this loss. Only g per cent of the acreage visited in this survey in Ala bama this year had been treated for this disease before planting. Where treat ment had been given no smut occurred.
 The farmers of Alabama have been asked to increase their wheat crop this fall by 14GoO acres, in order to produce 16O,OOO bushels more wheat than was pro- duced this year. If all of the farmers iii the state treated the wheat seed for this smut before planting this fall they could more than meet this increase with out increasing the acreage one bit If they will treat the wheat and then in crease the acreage by 14,O00 the wheat crop of this state will be increased Tn value nearly S500.000, provided an aver age yield is obtained.
 This loss can be so easily prevented that it is a sin not to prevent it. Details of treating the wheat and oats with formalin to prevent this disease can be secured by writing to the department of pathology of the Alabama extension serv- ic, at Auburn.

Bees Busy-Yes!

Honey is produced in this country in ordinary years considerably in excess oI 25o.0Oo, ,0o0 pounds. Most of the commer- cial part of this crop is now handled in large way as a staple food product. In part this is the result of commercial bookkeeping and the production of honey as an occupation.
 In recent years bee diseases have been driving cut of business the untrained and indifferent beekeeper and opening the field to the expert who is able to overcome these diseases and who is in formed concerning the sources and times of honey flow and the details of bee maa. agemens, according to a recent bulletin from the bureau of crop estimates United States department of agriculture, from which the following facts are de rived:
 The white-clover belt is the most in portant honey producing region, because it furnishes not only the leading com mercial honey, but also more than one half of the honey crop of the entire couE- try. This belt extends from Maine to Virginia and westward to the semi-ar;d plains. From white clover alone is se- cured about one tenth of the nations crop of honey. This kind is almost color less, has a heavy body, and a distinct but delicate and delicious flavor.
 Alfalfa honey is second in commercial importance. It's region is mostly west of the one hundredth meridian. and i. is coloriess, except in the southwestern states, where it darkens to amber, with a distinctive spicy or minty flavor.
 Third iI importance for honey produc- tion is sweet clover. a native and mostly wild legume growing abundantly throughout all of the western mountain and plateau states and in less degree eastward to the Atlantic states.
 About per cent of the surplus honey that is, the honey that bees do not rc- quire for their own sustenance-comes from the flowers of the cotton plant. S12 per cent from the basswood tree or Amer ican linden, about 5 per cent each from the tulip poplar tree and buckwheat, and 2 per cent from the goldenrod, wide spread plant that produces a highly fla vored, golden honey. The mountain sages of California produce a type ot honey of much importance and, by com r.. mon consent, one of the finest of all in absence of color in density, and in flavor At least 8 per cent of the honey crop comes from the clovers and asfatla.
 According to the census of 1910, Cali fornia produces nearly one fifth or the honey crop, New York and Texas 'each about eighteenth, and Michigan, Iowa, Colorado. Wisconsin, Missouri. Pennsylvania and North Carolina each aboVt one twenty-fifth.

A Dog Hero of France

Mrs Elphinstone Maitland, in the Peo-
 ple's Home Journal.
 There was foggy night once when his acute hearing failed Artemis who was doing guard duty out on No Mans Land ArtemiS, it must be explained, is a popular hero of France. dog of uncertain pedigree. with mixture of the great Dane in him and touch of the French mountain sheep dog. So serious was the result of this treach- cry on the part of his ears that sec tion of his regiment was cut off. Poor Artemis! He had always been so faith ful, and had so often saved his friends.
 But they trusted him still and, to prove it, they dispatched him with a note attached to his collar warning their comrades of their danger. It was a hot night on the line, and the bull lets were flying fast. Phut! phut! they fell round the flying feet of Artemis. but he paid no heed to them. His repu- tation was at stake, and he redeemed it. He got through with his message. Aid was sent to his squad. It arrived in time. And there followed celebra- ton in honor of Artemis. arranged by the colonel himself.
 -.' The hero. however, was not yet sat- risfied that his duty was done. At Ypres he continued to act as courier and patrol, and no accidents interfered with his efficiency now. Fianlly came day when the captain commanding him, found his own life threatened by the attack of two boches. None of his men was near him. But Artemis was.
 The captain managed to kill one as- sailant. As he did so, the other cooked his rifle to shoot. Whereupon Artemis. .exerting all his strength. sprang at the man's throat and seized 1t so viciously < that he strangled him. The captain was oaved. So was Artemis. but both went to the hospital.

 spinach might be planted in August and
 early in September in the upper south
 Gardeners in all sections of the south
 should have plenty of beans, caoDase'
 potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, carrots

 GRAZING CROPS FOR HOGS Hog pastures conserve grain and pro- duce cheaper pork. Hog raisers should plan succession of crops to be har- vested by the hogs feeding on them in the field or "hogged down." Early cow peas, soy beans, and sorghum planted | in July il narrow rows and cultivated once or twice will produce good fall pas ture for hogs.
 A wide variety of crops can be planted | in September for late fall and winter grazing. Oats, barley, rye, vetch, crim- son clover, bur clover, red clover, cow horn turnips, or rape can be planted Tn all parts of the south, either separately or in combination, and will produce ex- cellent pasture for hogs.
 Now is the time to plan for the alfalfa. red clover, bur clover. or crimson clover | to be sown in the fall Lay in your sup ply of seed; keep the soil in good con dition for planting, so that the crop can be seeded on time.
 As the corn crop begins to develop to- ward sound grain in July, farmers should watch the fields and prepare for care 1 full seed selection when the grain IS ma ture. Marl, the good stalks early ana

ly worthless, incapable of producing single dollar of wealth for the country can and very likely will in the dark hours of one night destroy the accumula- tions of years and the profits of untir- mg industry. If that fear could be re- moved from the farmers heart. if he could know that sheep could browse safe ly in his grass that goes to waste, the
 number of sheep in the United States
 would increase many fold in little
 while.
 That is one big phase of the dog ques- tion--this fact that the presence of too
 many dogs prevent the general raising of animals whose flesh and wool are both seriously needed for our armies over seas. But it is a phase of it that does not necessarily come into consideration
 dog but, just as surely as your dog IS sheep killing dog. Nobody's dog ever was a sheep-killing dog-until suddenly, some mans sheep were slaughtered and the dog was found to have blood on at ali. Of course, your dog is not course, your dog is not a sheep killing
 his chops and wool in his teeth. Of food consuming dog. dog that takes
 meat out of the mouths of those who stand cn the frazzled fringe of frightful- ness, defending the worlds liberties
 The United States department of -agri- culture is not an enemy to the dog-it recognizes certain definite uses for that animal. but it realizes that the country could get on mighty well With much
 fewer dogs than it has, and that both the actual and potential meat supply
 of the country would be greatly in
 creased thereby. It has recently sent
 out several appeals on that point If
 you have dog that serves a genuinely
 useful purpose keep him. He is good
 citizen. But to help in the worlds sal vation, get rid of the useless dog! The dog rightfully holds strong place in the minds and affections of men. The owner of a good dog finds in nm most faithful friend.
 But :t sometimes happens that the dog most highly esteemed is also one that kills and worries the most sheep and Is the most cunning in obscuring the evil dences of his guilt.
 A well bred dogs habit of lying inno- gently asleep in the front yard during the daytime is no proof that the same dog does not kill sheep at night. Because Of the economic loss occasion ed by slleep-killing dogs, and because such dogs bring the whole of their kind into bad repute, the true admirers and friends of this animal should help to further any steps likely to result in the limitation of the activity of these dis crediting poembers of noble race l One of the most practicable methods Of accomplishing this result seems to be to place upon dogs such a tax as will reduce the number of superfluous ones and result in fewer being kept by per sons who cannot or will not give them the attention necessary to prevent the formation of habits and associations that lead to sheep killing.
