Jesse Hoffman has been suffering
from rheumatism the past week.
On Saturday night the informed

They spent the evening playing
games, and everyone seemed to
thoroughly enjoy the evening.
On Tuesday evening the friends
of Mrs. Russell Smith surprised her
at her home, it being her birthday.
Games were played, after which
light refreshments were served. 1t
was then midnight, and the lights
went out. so everyone took their
leave wishing Mrs. Smith many
happy returns of the day.
The weather is quite wintry this

When Germany waged her ruth

really began a warfare upon the
neutral powers of the world, she
only forced the United States, along
with others to enter into a positive
defense of all that she holds sacrep

into any further discussion of cause
or conditions, only to say we are en-.
gagged in this struggle with all that
we possess to establish the living
principles of democracy. And
while our sons, brothers, neighbors
are moving to the scene of activi

sILAGE FOR cow IN WINTER
Ration Can Be Furnished in Extreme
Cold Weather That Will Produce
High Yield Of Milk.

The average COW does her best in
che spring, when she has succulent
feed and palatable ration, which is a
well-balanced food containing proper
nutrients for milk production. In
winter, with alfalfa hay, silage, and
grain, a ration can be furnished that
will produce just as much milk as can
be contained In early summer when
the cow is on grass. Silage provides
in winter the succulence which Is fur

WINTER RULES.

Protect your animals from the
cold. This will make them more
comfortable, and will save you
} feed.
Stop the holes in your barn.
Board in your tie-up.
An old horse, especially, like
an old man, feels the cold.
Blanket your horses on frosty
nights in the fall, when their
coats are short.
Give your horses and cattle a
good bed. Bedding is cheap.
Water your horses at least
three times day. The stomach
of the horse is very small.
Pulctuality in feeding and wa
tering the stock is very impor-
tant. They will worry and lose
flesh if kept waiting beyond the
regular time.
} A good grooming costs no
money, and is equal to two
quarts of oats.
A horse cannot thrive on hay
alone. He needs oats or corn for
strength; and grass, bran or po-
tatoes to keep his bowels right.
, Keep your horses feet soft,
and have him shod often. More
, feet are ruined in the stable than
on the road.
, Do not degrade your family by
using a lame horse.
Kill the WORKOUT or incurably
lame horse. If you sell him, the
money that you receive is blood

FOR INCREASED CROP YIELDS
Manure Adds Plant Food and Organic
Matter to Saltwater Is Of
Great Importance.

Estimates Of the returns Of crops
fed on the farm, by way Of manure
are worked out on the basis of the
tonnage fed, and they vary greatly
due to the methods Of handling and
preserving the manures. 1t has been
shown by careful preservation of the
manure that 80 tons of ensilage fed
can return as much as so pounds Of
nitrogen. 25 to 80 pounds Of phosphor-
ic acid, and 40 to As pounds Of potash.
This shows an inducement to take
good care Of manure.

Our economic conditions, especially
as regards food. are very serious, but
not at all desperate. To hold on now
until a happy decision is reached is
the vital question for the state"
Premier Won Seydler made a plea
for undivided loyalty and the sup
preston Of interracial bitterness. He
recommended the postponement of
parliamentary activity for some weeks
in order to permit the work of con-
citation to be carried out. Otherwise,
he added, it will become necessary
for the government to adjourn par

The Premier pointed out that a
passive attitude was no longer DOS
sibIe with regard to the revision of
the constitution as the basis of ma
uonal autonomy. He stated that the
government would appoint admins
traitors for the Bohemian districts
containing distinct nationalities. He
admitted the existence of the South
Slav question. He did not know, he
said, whether a South Slav State
would be created. bat IL it were, it
would be under the Austrian en-
peror. The Premier declared the ma.
uonal wishes Of the Slavs must be
considered.

the worlds record in shipbuilding
that will be fixed by the New York
Shipbuilding Company's workers at
1880 tomorrow morning when the
collier Tuckahoe slips on the ways
at Camden, N. ].
The exact record will be 81 days,
2 hours and fifty minutes, and she
is expected to be actually in SER

forty days from keel to cargo and

the bare hull that makes a smoky
trail to the spray of its first plunge.
This ship will be delivered forty
one days ahead of schedule. She
has a length Of $50 feet, a beam
of 80 feet, and will have a speed
of 10H knots. This is the way 1t
