Center Co. Farmers Quit;
Lack of Labor Is Blamed

Bellefonte, Pa, Feb. 20.-An un-
usually large number of farm sales
will be held in Center county dur
ing the month of March, and one
reason assigned by many farmers
for quitting the farm is the abnormal
scarcity of farm labor. They aver
that last year it was impossible to
get the help needed to do the work
inasmuch as the demand has al
ready been made for more intensive
farming this year than last the labor
question is one that will be very
perpleXing and to avoid the trouble
of last season they are simply quit

Others give as their reason for
making public sale the exception
ally high price OF everything and
they realize that they will get more
for their stock this spring than they
will probably get in some years, and
therefore have decided to sell while
the selling is good, and get off the

BEEKEEPERS TO
MAINTAIN STOCK
State Inspector Issues Some
Valuable Suggestions
About Their Care

Because of the very bad condi-
ton in which bees have come
through the winter. the beekeepers
should do everything possible to
carry them safely through the
spring months, which are always
hard on bees, and a special effort
must be made to build them up so
that they will take as good advan-
tage as possible of the white honey
harvest which comes in June" says
George H. Rea. Chief Apiary Ad-
wiser of the State Department of
Agriculture.
'As soon as the weather is warm
enough so that the bees can fly, all
colonies should be examined. and
those that are living should have a
winter case, with packing material
placed around them, so as to help
them keep up the heat that is ne
cessary for rapid brood rearing. A
little stimulative feeding will be a
good thing also. This should not be
begun until weather conditions are
such that the bees can fly at least
one day week. After that a small
quantity of syrup made of sugar and
water should be given. For this
purpose granulated sugar dissolved
IN three times the quantity of water
is the very best. However, cheaper
grades of sugar or molasses may be
used. When granulated sugar is
used, the syrup is made 1 part sugar
and parts water, either by measure
or weight.
For feeding any of the bee feed
ers put out by bee manufacturers
may be used, or the bees may be
placed in II super in a bake pan
placed Immediately over the cluster
with handful OF straw thrown in
the syrup to prevent the bees from
drowning. Access to the syrup is
given the bees by placing sticks
across the pan, then the whole thing
is to be covered up snugly with
blankets or some other warm ma
terial.
"Beekeepers will be glad to know
that the Federal Government has
made a special arrangement to take
care of their needs for sugar to feed
their bees. Any beekeeper desiring
sugar for this purpose should write
to the L. S. Food Administration
Washington, ID. c., and ask for in
structions as to how to get the sugar.
Proper blanks will then be supplied
for the purpose" .-

Q shipment of sixty ringneck phea-
SAINTS and nine wild turkeys to be

orable. Several hundred rabbits and
quail will also be distributed bv Mr..

dlnerent man of the section to fol-
low. He would stick to this man,
eating and sleeping with him, until
the next day, and then it would be
some one else's turn. When man
had Jim with him, it seemed as if
ms life were charmed. No matter
what he went through, he would
come out safely. We looked upon
jim as good-luck sign. and believe
me he was.
Whenever it came Ikey Honney's
turn for Jim's company, he was
over-joyed, because Jim would sit in
dignified silence, listening to the
lews-harp. Honey claimed that
Jim had soul for music, which was
more than he would say about the
rest of us.
Once, at daypreak, we had to go
over the top in an attack. A man in
the section named Dalton was sell
ected by Jim as his mate, in this af-
fair.
The crew of gun No. 2 were to
stay in the trench for over head fire
purposes, and, if necessary, to help
repel probable counter-at attack by
the enemy. Dalton was very merry,
and hadn't the least fear or misgiv-
ing as to his safety, because Jim
would be with him through it all.
In the attack, Dalton, closely fol-
lowed by Jim, had got about sixty
yards into No Mans Land, when
jim was hit in the stomach by bull
let. Poor old Jim toppled over, and
lay still. Dalton turned around, and
just as he did so We saw him throw
up his hands and fall face forward.
Ikey Honey, who was No. 3 on
our gun, seeing Jim fall, scrambled
over the parapet, and. through that
rain of shells and bullets, raced to
where Jim was, picked him up, and
tucking him under his arm, return
ed to our trench in safety. If he had
gone to rescue a wounded man in
this way he would have no doubt
been awarded the Victoria Cross.
But he only brought in poor bleed
ing, dying, Jim.
Ikey laid him on the fire step
alongside of our gun, but we could
not attend to him, because we had
important work to do. So he died
like a soldier, without a look of
reproach for our heartless treat
ment. Just watched our every
movement until his lights burned
out. After the attack. what was
left of our section gathered around
Jim's bloodstained body. There
warn't a dry eye in the crowd.
Next day, we wrapped him in a

lently fixed up the milk for the dog.
In appetite, the canine was a close
second to Hungry Foxcroft. After
tapping all he could hold. our mas
cot closed his eyes and his tail
ceased wagging. Sailor Bill took a
dry flannel shirt from his pack,
wrapped the dog in it and informed
us:
Me and my mate are going be-
low, so the rest of you lubbers bat
ten down and turn in"
We all wanted the honor of sleep
ing with the dog, but did not dis
pute Sailor Bills right to the priv
llege. By this time the bunch were
pretty sleepy and tired, and turned
in without much coaXing, as it was
pretty near daybreak.
Next day we figured out that per-
haps one of the French kiddies had
put the dog in the grain bin. and,
in the excitement of packing up and
leaving, had forgotten he was there.
Sailor Bill was given the right to
chr1sten our new mate. He called
him jim. In a couple of days Jim
came around all right, and got very
risky. Every man in the section
loved that dog.
Sailor Bill was court-martialed
for his miX-up with the quartermas-
ter sergeant, and got seven days field
punishment No. 1. This meant that
two hours each day for a week he
would be tied to the wheel of a linn
ber. During these two-hour periods
Jim would be at Bills feet, and, no
matter how much we coaXed him
with choice morsels of food, he
would not leave until Bill was un-
tied. When Bill was loose, jim
would have nothing to do with him
Just walked away in contempt
Jim respected the kings regula-
tions, and had no use for defaulters.
At a special meeting held by the
section. jim had the oath of allegi-
ance read to him. He barked his
consent, so we solemnly swore him
in as a soldier of the Imperial Bri-
I tish Army, fighting for king and
country Jim made a better soldier
than any one of us, and died for his
king and country. Died without a
whimper of complaint.
From the village we made several
trips to the trenches; each time Jim
accompanied us. The first time un-
der fire he put the stump of his
tail between his legs, but stuck to
his post. When carrying in" if we
neglected to give Jim something to
carry, he would make such a noise
barking that we soon fixed him up.
Each day, Jim would pick out a
