FARMERS BOUND TO WIN.

The record Of farmers last year,
made in the face Of obstacles, is ground
for confidence on their part that with
equal application and organization
they can overcome the difficulties this
year, according to Secretary Houston.
UnQueStlonably there will be difficult
ties to surmount-diflcultieS in re-
Spect to labor and in respect to fer
tilizers, both as to price and quantity.
Prices of farm machinery, also, with
other things, have risen. In some re-
spects the farm-labor situation may
not be quite so difficult as last year, al
though 1t will continue to be especially
acute in certain sections of the coun-
try. The environments have been built
and there will not be a renewal of ur-
gent demands in many sections for
labor for such work. The draft regu-
lations provide for the deferred classi-
fication of skilled farm labor. The
population Of the country has in
creased somewhat within the past
year. The secretary of war has asked
congress for power to furlough sol
diers of the National army for agri-
cultural service if necessary.

fed so that 1t will be picked up clean,
and you will find next spring that
there is not bit Of the corn lying
around to go to waste.
Protein feeds in the form of shorts,
tankage, ollmeal or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feeders can be used
for these feeds, and 1t is quite success
full to grind the alfalfa hay. Sows will
eat larger percentage of alfalfa hay
fed in the ground form than when fed
in racks unground. This alfalfa is
generally cheaper on the corn belt
farms than any of the other protein
feeds and is a good balance to the corn
ration.
BY following few Of these simple
methods the sows will be brought to
narrowing time capable of producing
good strong pigs. Every hog grower
knows that If he Is going to have pigs
that de their best from the start they
must necessarily be strong and vigor-
GUS at narrowing time. The proper care
Of the brood SOW is not difficult and
should be carefully looked after by
every hog grower.

A call for more food from Americas
gardens, both the commercial and the
home plots, is contained In the de-
partment Of agriculture's agricultural
production program for 1918, recently
announced. This is what the program
says to the gardeners:
Market gardens near large consum-
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet as nearly as possible the
needs of the community and in order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points.
It is important to do all that is pos
sible to relieve the strain upon trans
portation facilities.
The planting Of home gardens, es-
peclally for family needs and for pre-
serving foods for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production Of per-
ishables generally should be increased
above normal wherever 1t Is reason
ably clear that transportation and mar
keting facilities will be favorable.
Last year the production of perish
ables is estimated to have been 80 per
cent greater than normal. Notwith-
standing the large output, the market

If the sows that are to farrow in
March and April produce good strong,
vigorous filters and get their pigs
through successfully to weaving time
they must be properly cared for from
now until the day Of narrowing. One
Of the biggest hlndrances to the sows'
narrowing good strong, vigorous filters
Is lack Of exercise. During the cold
and snowy weather hogs like to lie
around the sleeping quarters and be
comfortable. That, however, is just
what they should not do all the time,
advise the specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture.
The proper exercise for a brood SOW
is that which she will take voluntarily
and not through force. They should
get their corn ration by hustling for 1t
in the stalk fields and not by getting 1t
fed around the sleeping quarters on
feeding floors or In troughs. Feed them
ear corn during the winter months and
scatter 1t out in the stalk fields. The
spreader Is a good implement
to use in scattering this corn. Don't
be afraid it will be wasted, for 1t won't.
You can readily regulate the amount

SHEEP ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Produced More Economically on Farm
Than any Other Live Stock--Plck
UP Much Of Living.

Sheep, In proportion to the value Of
their products, are produced more
economically on the farm than any
other live stock; the feed and labor re.
Quirements are less. They fit in with
general farming, get much Of their
subsistence from forage from grazing
weeds and grass that would not sup
port other stock. They eat little feed
that has value as human food, and
need less grain than other animals.
They add materially to the farm reve-
nue. but add very little, relatively, to
the farm expense.

It was the man within the plainly

PLANT LONG HELD SACRED
Glover, Of Which the Shamrock ls :
Species, Was Much Thought OF
by the Ancient Greeks.

1t is difficult to say what was the
original shamrock, trefoil or Hero Trim
ity. The leaf now recognized as the
national emblem is that Of the white
clover, but the name shamrock is
generic and is applied also to the
purple clover, the speedwell, the PIN
pernel and to the wood sorrel.
The clover Of two or four leaves
was held sacred in the festivals Of the
Greeks. The one of four leaves, when
carried about, is supposed t6~insure
success at play and confer the power
of detecting evil spirits. The lover
may put 1t under his pillow and he will
dream Of his beloved, or the maiden
may slip it into her sweetheart's shoe
without his knowledge and it will in
sure his safe return from any journey.
1t may be employed to prevent the
wearer's being drawn into military
service, is said to be cure for lunacy,
and is still, among the Irish, regarded
as magical, even sacred. Snakes dis
like it exceedingly and will not remain
where it is growing.
Some say the four-leaf shamrock is
the shamrock of luck, and others that
1t is the five-leaved one that holds the
magic touch. This latter is rare and
priced and is said to grow from a de-
caying body, as the nettle is said to
spring from buried human remains. The
shamrock Of luck must be found with
out searching, without seeking" When
thus discovered 1t should be cherished
and preserved as an invincible tails
man.

ASKS 100000 TO BUY SEED.

The secretary Of agriculture has
asked congress for an appropriation
Of $6,OO0,OO0 to enable the department
Of agriculture to buy and sell seed to
farmers at cost at q reasonable price.
It is the purpose Of the department.
If the sum suggested is made avail
able, to take immediate steps to se-
cure, test, and store at least portion
Of the supply Of these seeds that viii
be needed for this season. The seed
will be sold to farmers only for cash
at a reasonable price and 1t is proyid-
ed that the fund may be used as a re-
volving fund until the secretary Of
agriculture determines that the emer-
gency contemplated by the appropria-
ton no longer exists. Under the cir
cumstances 1t Is believed that 1t Will
be possible to return to the treasury
the entire amount appropriated Or at
least the greater portion Of it.

PLACE OF BIRTH NO MATTER
Certain He Was q True Irishman and
Accomplished Much for the Wei
fare Of the Race During His
SoIurn on the Island.

- NE Of the reasons why St
Patrick is such a favorite the
world over Is that he was so
very human. He hadn't much
of chance when boy, but he made
the best Of what he had. If he had not
The would have been hogherd all the
days OF his life. He was slave, in
very truth, being bound to a pagan hog
raiser in Britain.
But you can't keep a good man down,
and that's fact.
If all the legends be true, which can
hardly be possible, Patrick was ia
Yorite among the ladies, even making
an impression on the good st. Bridget.
Maybe this was before they became
,saints-of course it was, for how could
they be saints and be alive at the same
time?
However, there is quite lot of writ

Nils Life and Works.
From all that can be learned con-
corning the life and works Of st. Pat
rick, he was a good man, and spent his
life going about doing good for his fell
aows.
AS you know, a good man is more
highly respected, more beloved and ex-
.erts a greater influence for good in
the community In which he is known
than even the wealthiest, the most
powerful or most favored. He may not
wear purple and fine linen, nor fare
,sumptuously, but he Is making the
world better and is, therefore, truly,
and In the highest sense, son Of God.
There are numerous stories and leg
ends concerning st. Patrick, some Of
which may be true. But it matters
little whether he was Milesian born
In Spain, or son Of poor swine
herd Of the green isle.
The history Of the world shows that
the mere circumstances Of birth cuts
very small figure in the matter Of real
greatness. From earliest times the
men who have figured most promi-
nently in world movements for the bet
torment Of mankind have been Of
numble origin.

KEEP UP Blo POTATO CROP
ADVISE U. s. SPECIALISTS


The normal acreage Of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be
maintained in 1918 notwithstand-
ing the large crops In 1917, the
department Of agriculture be-
lieves. This is especially true
in view of the necessity Of re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used of the perishable
stable crops. The department,
through It's extension and publl-
cation activities, Is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use OF the Irish potato, as par
tial substitute for wheat In
bread-maklng.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention to the selection Of dis
ease-free potatoes Of good vari-
cites, by treatment Of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
ing, and by the use of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.

with its largely increased staff. 1t will
cooperate with all state agencies, es-
peclally the state agricultural coli
leges, to bring about the planting Of
more war gardens, to see that they are
maintained throughout the season, and
to insure the prompt consumption or
preservation for future use of all per-
ishables produced in these gardens or
otherwise. More effective assistance
also will be rendered in the market
ing Of perishable products through the
greatly extended daily market news
service of the bureau Of markets and

OUTDOOR EXERCISE FOR PIGS
Animals Should Be Protected From
Cold Winds or Hot sun--LlmIt
Range for Sows.

Outdoor exercise is beneficial, but
pigs should be protected from cold
winds or from very hot sun. If the
SOW is turned out with her pigs, do
not give her a very large range at
first, as she Is likely to travel too far
and unduly tire the young.
