THE WAR BOND SHILLING

In q London street during a war
bond campaign, the mayor of Shore
ditch was making "a strong appeal for
funds. While he was talking a mes
senger from a factory brought him a
check amounting to about 100000 in
our money. He held that up as inspi-
ration for further loans. A poor wo-
man stepped out OF the crowd and
handed the mayor q shilling.
at is all have" she Is reported to
have said but you are welcome to 1t
TO feed the guns and help the boys.
1t is the old story OF the poor wo.
man giving her mite. II occurred ia
n reader who ran across this story
that il held a lesson OF pride and
courage as well as of unsellish patri
Otism. Many people who possessed
good deal more than Il shilling
might he foolishly ashamed to pre-
sent so small Il contribution when the
big one had just been made. But ones
best Is always worth while, and ones
all, no matter how little, is a greater
gift than anOiher's tenth or half.

HUMANITY AND FALL PIGS

Food for human consumption is
the key that will unlock the portals
of everlasting peace; it is the lever
that will pry the yoke of autocracy
from the face of the earth.
Pork, with wheat, is the basis of
human rations. Without these no
progress could be made in making the
world safe for democracy. The A
merican farmer will produce them in
sufficient amounts to blot out the
course of militarism.
Fall pigs this year will aid. Never
was there equal opportunity for prof
it in fall pigs; never before, and pos
sibly never again will any single crop
be of as great worth to the producer,
to the nation, to humanity itself, as
will the crop of fall pigs produced in
1918.
June is the best month to breed
for fall pigs. The litters are due to
arrive in October when there is an
abundance af fall feed and the wealth
er is mild. The little fellows will
have reached an age and size where
they can get on pretty well without
the mother by the time cold weather
sets in. By the following spring they
should be big pigs. 1t is next spring
when there will be the big demand
for meat.
There are three particularly good
reasons why all she hogs should be
bred in June:
First: Breeders in the north, owing
to soft corn last fall, fed and sold
most of their breeding stock, and will
not have many hogs to breed. Hence,
their crop of fall pigs will be light.
Second: The increasing number of
soldiers going to France will increase
the demand for meat to supply them.
Third: The most serious problem
in the farm to-day is labor. There
will be a lot of roughage to go to
waste this fall if there are no fall
litters to help consume it. The fall
litters can gather a lot of crops.
If you raise your own feed there
will be money in hogs for you. If you
provide plenty of grazing for the fall
litters, it will prove profitable un-
dertaking, provided you include some
grain, clear water and clean quarters.
Blue sky and scenery don't make
much fat; but feed three times day,
clean water all the time, clean place
to sleep and eat will help lot.
Swamp hogs do better when treated
better.

1t is in the spring that the soldiers feel the
depression of the season. 1t Is the time
when the resistance Of the body is the low

energy during the long winter eXhausts the
vitality, and then the common diseases
swoop down on many, and their feeble
resistance makes them a mark for the germs
of grip, spring-fever and pneumonia. This
is simply a state Of vital bankruptcy. 1t is
known by the depression, feelings Of "blue-
