the full extent Of their ability the du-

achievement Of victory as was that
done by the men on the firing line.
and that, in its way, it was - de-

conditions feeding stuffs for work
animals are extremely high in price.
On this account 1t is imperative that
the farmer should winter only work
stock of the useful, most efficient,
and valuable type. One heavy draft
horse will preform the work of practi-
cally two understood, inferior plugs,
while such an animal can be fed at
about the same cost for maintenance
as for one of the plugs. When the
farmer desires to sell a heavy horse
of quality and breeding he can al
ways locate a ready market, whereas
inferior animals ordinarily can be
disposed Of only at sacrifice.

The Importance of securing the

ure supply of the country can hardly
be roverestimated at any time. II is
Infinitely greater when the production
of food is so vital to the Nation as
during the present crisis.
In localities where leaves are OBJ
tainable at small cost as compared to
the cost of straw, a condition which
exists in some sections, 1t would seem
advisable to make use of this material
for bedding instead of straw. II is a
weel-known practice in the wooded
sections of the South to use leaves
Tor bedding. Frequently land has
been built up into high state of fer

only means of supplying humus to the

No one has to be told that sweet
potatoes contain sugar. Their name
indicates it and their sweetness is un-
disguised and unmodifed by the
presence OF any acid. Sometimes,
you know. fruits that actually con-
tain quite a lot of sugar are so acid
in taste as to make most folks wish
to doctor them up with quite little
sugar But there is nothing of this
sort about the sweet potato.
Here are two dishes that are well
worth making. They are favorites
with the cooks in this section of
Pennsylvania inhabited by the Penn
sylvania Dutch"
Slice the sweet potatoes very thin,
put thick layer in bottom OF baked
dish, cover with a layer of potato,
dot with butter, fill the dish nearly
full with milk and bake till brown.
Place layer of sweet potato, slic-
ed, in the bottom of a plain dish,
on top of this put layer of tart ap-
pies, pared and sliced, sprinkle with
little salt-the recipe calls for a
very little sugar, but this can be left
out as well as nOt-and dot with
butter, another layer of potato, sea-
son, pour half cup of water over the
whole, and bake until soft

SAVE FALL PIGS.

The fall pigs are going to be worth
more money this year than ever be-
fore, and everything should be done
from a financial, as well as a patri-
otto. standpoint to raise as many as
possible to maturity. A pig now is
worth twice as much as it was when
pork was selling for nine cents. The
feed given the brood SOW will have
"A direct bearing upon the pigs saved.
A good ration for the brood SOW in
dry lot is: corn, ten parts; oil meal or
tankage, one part. Ear corn may be
fed, and the remainder of the ration
given in a thin slop twice a day.
Do not let the SOW get to fat.
Give her plenty of exercise while she
is with pig. Watch for signs of far
rowing and plan to give undivided
attention to the SOW at this time. II
one pig is saved which would other
wise be lost, il is time well spent.
See that the pigs do not become chill
ed and that they all find teats. Be
sure that the SOW is properly housed !;
that she has sufficient ventilation and
sunshine and good clean bedding.
Bed lightly at narrowing time. A
guard rail about six inches from the
floor around the sides of the house
so the pigs can get under will often
keep the sow from laying on them
The foregoing ration for the SOW,
II fed dry in a small pen which ex-
cludes their mother, but gives the
pigs access to it at all times, will
teach the young pigs to eat and will
start them growing. Thrifty pigs
can be raised economically if there is
some forage for pasture. Alfalfa,
clover. rye or blue grass on which
to start before the winter sets in will
make the pigs much more hardy
Winter rye should be sown this fall
for pasture during the winter and
early spring. A liberal supply of
clean drinking water is very essen
tial. In the winter II should be heat
ed to remove the chill. Pigs started
right in the fall winter easily. Keep
them coming from the start, is the
advice of l.. Il. McGinnis, of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture.

A DEMOCRAT DESERTS
THE STANLEY SHIP

An Ohio county Democrat gives
some very sensible reasons why he
will vote against Stanley for United
States Senator.
Horse Branch, Ky, October, rs.
We have in our country, in all poll
teal parties, down and out" politi-
clans, who want to ride into office on
the backs of others, and who are
sometimes endorsed by good, honest
men, who don't know the real con-
ditions, or the character of those
they endorse, or the truth of the mat
ter involved. Sometimes men are
led to support such men through
party sympathy, which is detri-
mental, not only to our liberty, but
to our political faith as we'll.
We have those conditions in Ken
lucky today In our senatorial race,
when Mr.. Wilson is asking the voters
of Kentucky to elect Mr.. Stanley to
the senate. While l believe Mr..
Wilson is perfectly right at this time
in wanting men in congress who are
in perfect harmony with the admins
tration and support Of him in ad-
yancing the interests of the war, |
realize that we need men who will
stand by the President at this critical
time, and those that won't stand by
him in the support of the war are

All hens mott in the fall and early
winter. During the melting season,
which usually takes about three
months. the hens lay few or no eggs.
1t is advisable, II well-matured pull
lets can be purchased at reasonable
price, to kill and eat the hens as they
begin to mott. replacing the flock
with newly purchased pullets. The
hens should not be killed, however.
until they begin to moult, and their
combs begin to lose size, color, and
flexibility, for If these changes have
not taken place the hens will proba-
bly, still be laying and at a time of
year when eggs are especially valua-
bile.

Motto for Dead Authors.

We are told that once, when Pa
thence Worth was spelling out the end
less pages of the "Sorry Tale" she
came to sudden stop, then wrote,
"rhls be nuff," and knocked off for the
night. A blessed phrase, and, OF a
certainty, her finest inspiration. Would
that all dead authors would adopt it as
their motto; and with ouija boards,
and table legs, and automatic pencils,
write as their farewell message to the
world those three short, comely words,
"This be nuif."-Agnes Repplier, in
Atlantic.

Germ.Proof Money.

To a bank in Spokane, Wash, be.
longs the distinction of circulating the
first antiseptic germ-proof national
bank notes. The United States treas.
ury is still experimenting with devices
to launder dirty bank notes to bright,
crisp ones, but the Spokane bank has
the first sanitary money on record.
Fifty thousand dollars in bills, put out
by the bank, were signed with an ink
said to consist largely of carbollc acid.
The result is the bills are saturated
with an agency which means death to
the most vigorous germ who'd live
there.

1t is true the President has had
some opposition on the Republican
side of the house and some little on
the Democratic side, in the matter of
war legislation, hence his call to the
country for party support. which
think should be granted as far as
possible. but in the case of Kentucky,
where the honor of the party is at
stake, we should look elsewhere for

Seeking Beauty.

Girls are natural beauty lovers. The
thought girls give to their dress and
the pride they take in whatever Is
pretty and becoming, proves that. But
the girl who loves beauty must be
careful not to put higher estimate on
the beauty Of bright eyes than on
that of a sweet soul. Do, not value
the sheen of silk above the charm Of
kindly speech. In seeking beauty, do
not lose sight of the beauty which is
the highest of all.

Raise Horses of Better Quality.

Large numbers of undesirable
MEDIOCRE horses are being turned on
to the market at present in all parts
of the country in order to save feed
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
As a consequence the market is
glutted with commonplace animals of
this description to the extent that
the prices paid are unusually low
The department urges farmers to
raise horses of better breeding and
ouality. The supply OF desirable
quality heavy draft horses or animals
suitable for artillery or cavalry pur-
Ssoses is below the demand, while the
nrices of such animals are CORE
spondingly high. In view of both
the domestic and foreign demand
during and after the war for quality
horses, farmers should begin now to
stock up their barns with horsefiesh
vof the desirable type. Under existing

Frugality vs.. Shiftlessncss.

Before the long, wet winter months
set in, when the greater part Of his
machinery and implements are not in
use, the thrifty farmer carefully goes
over them, oiling, using paint when
necessary. supplying broken or miss
ing parts and putting everything un-
der shelter. These and other frugal
characteristics differentiate him from
the shiftless, haphazard farmer who
leaves his implements exposed to the
weather, who lets the fences around
his house and barn fall down, perfect
ly contented to throw hoop over his
corral gate rather than put on a new
hinge or repair the old one.
The former, It may be taken for
granted, is a plow-deep. use-fertilizer,

tage-of-the market farmer-in a
word, a successful farmer; while the

latter is a scratch the ground and
trust-to-luck individual whose failure
he attributes to any one but himself.
No right-minded farmer could toll

on the other hand, every farmer
coming under the category ought TO
aspire to the first classifcation-and
