LsT HOGS HARVEST PART
 Or THE CORN CROP
By P. e. Holden.


 Let tbe hogs harvest part of the corn. There is no place where hog will make more gain. from bushel of corn than right in the e6rnfield har- vestins if for himself. It costs IS much 10 harvest crop 1t does to grow it. and the saving in labor, to say nothing of the gain per bushel, is great itarl in this time Of labor scaf- city and high cost Of farm production.
 Pigs of about 1eo pounds weight will make the best use of the eofnheld. When they have reached that weight and the corn is ready they can be turned in after getting on "fuu feed. x They can De brought to full feed grad two weeks be ready to go into the corn. Get them accustomed to the corn by first getting some corn. stalks and all, and throwing 1t to them on pasture. gradually increasing the feed
 It is well to fence of part of the cornfeld and hog it off before the corn is ripe. then set the fence over. taking in another plot, and so On until the hogs are finished This prevents tic pigs from tearing down the corn fence. Cut off each alternate hill Of corn at about three feet high in the row where the fence should be, unro1 the wire along this row. set the wire hill in the row and on the opposite side of the next hill. weaving it, so to speak.
 Now break over the top of the cut stalks and tuck thefn into the mesh of the fence. This holds the fence in place and the hogs will not get out, providing they have all they want to eat inside. It doesn't take much fenc- ing to hold pigs if they have enough to eat.
 Pigs do not make economical gains on corn alone. They must have protein feed also. An ideal combination fer fattening hogs is a cornfield and an alfalfa field, sc the hogs can have their choice-corn and clover. Corn and soy beans are also goof. Tho corn-soy bean combination is being provided for pigs more each year by hog feeders where soy beans do well, by planting corn and beans together.
 If no Iegume food is available the hogs should have tanicAge. There is no better way to feed tanhaxe to hogs in the cornfeid than te place it in self-feeders and allow the hogs ac cess to it.
 When there is an abundance Of a1- falfa. clover. beans or legume pasture. it is doubtful whether in the long run It pays to feed additional pasture in the form of tankage to pigs after they have reached 125 pounds in weight.
 When the rainy se4scn comes the hogs can be taken out sf the eorlf-

Y. M. c. A. JUNIORS TAKE
HIKE TO RESERVOIR

Sixteen of the juniors of the Young
Mems Christian association enjoyed a
pleasant hike Saturday, going to Fair
view reservoir and back After giving
their yells in the Y. NJ. c. A, they
started each boy carrying his own
lunch Upon arrival at the reservoir,
a suitable place for a fire was selected
and one was soon started, the boys
being well drilled in making one from
the instructions they have received in
the Boy Scouts. When the fire was
we'll going several of the boys cooked
food that they had brought, and Physi-
cal Director John NJ. Swain made cof-
fee which is becoming more and more
popular with the boys, for Mr.. Swain
has gained a reputation as a coffee
maker among the boys. After lunch,
marshmallows were toasted over the
Goals.
Because of the kindness of Mr.. De-
laney the keeper the boys were able
to study and see all the parts of the
station and to receive much informa-
ton They committed to memory the
year the reservoir was built the mayor
at the time, and the number of gallons
of water that are in the reservoir at
the present time. The boys walked
completely around the reservoir, for
the grounds are very beautiful, and it
is very pleasing place to see.
The hike proved to be of educational
and helpful value as well as one OF
recreation and fun. William Dixon
went as assistant leader. Such hikes
are to be taken frequently this spring

day morning gymnasium class.

GIVES WARNING TO
INCOME TAX DELINQUENTS

A person who waits for an income
tax man to pull his doorbell or his
coattails may find himself a delinquent
subject to severe penalties, is the
warning sounded by the internal reve-
nue. bureau officials. The duty of get
ting the payments and the returns in
by March Is lies solely with each indi-
vidual and corporation liable under the
law.
The bureau has sent every man it
can spare directly to the people to aid
in an advisory capacity" said Collector
James J. Walsh. But our men have
no time to canvass people at work or
in their homes.
1.-THE tentative return of estimated
tax is a relief measure adopted by the
bureau for taxpayers who cannot COM
plete their full returns on time. A tax
payer who needs additional time for
making a return cannot be relieved of
the payment of the tax due, or the es-
timated tax due But, on making the
required payment between now and
March Is the taxpayer can secure fur
Their time up to As days in which to
file the complete returns.
THE bureau in this way meets the

them of the requirement that their

Rev, A. ]. Covel, of Boston, preach
ed at the First Congregational church
sunday morning using for the text
part OF Verse in Psalms 81. Fret not
myself. Out in the natura! world
there is grea: waste, he said Checking
this waste is one way of making a
fortune. Waste in the business world
may be eliminated by cooperation.
Waste also comes from the overlap
IEg of religious denominations. May
the time conc when Catholics and
Trotestants shall find, common ways
of working together. There is waste
in individual religious life. In every
Christian lfa there is power enough
to give abundant entrance into life
eternal There is no greater waste
that that suggested by our text. Fret
not, We are all sinners in this re-
gHect. The real meaning of fret is
the same as the word used to de-
scribe the work of moths on a gar
nient. To fret means to destroy the
fiber of life.
We may use the energy God has
given US to accomplish His ends, or
we may turn this energy inward and
destroy our own mechaniaanfsm. Wor
ny turns round and round IN a circle
and never accomplisfes anything
Cverhurdened life and a fureseeing life.
We fret and worry about cur health
ana bring on the very thing we would
avoid. We worry about the past and
lose the opportunity to redeem the
present. We worry about The future,
a5out what will never come. We are
ike troubled waters that cast up mire
and dirt.
Sufficient unit the day IS the evil
thereof. The remedy Faith is the
victory that overcomes the world One
arm of faith is the power Of appre-
ciating the bright side Of life when
thightness Is needed. Another is the
realization that if you are III the way
Of Gods providence He has a special

rather than the passive value. Action

I the clouds have passed we shall know

DOcTOR GIVES ADVICE
AT BREAKFAST TALK

Sixty-six men, In uniform enjoyed
the breakfast at the Y. NJ. c. =. build
ing Sunday; the mCnue consisted Of
fish balls, baked beans, bread, butter,
coffee and doughnuts and the meal
was served by women Of the Auxiliary
and several young ladies.
While the fellows were eating f. A.
Stanley of New Haven, secretary of the
''Y'' boys work of Connecticut, who
dropped in for a moment, gave the
men a few words of welcome. Before
the men left the tables, Dr.. J.. T. La
Pierre, made a blEef address. which
pleased his nearer. He said in part:
Il recall a recommendation [ secured
when I first went TO work as. boy
of about fifteen; I read it again and
again; it read like this, the physical
mental and moral condition of this
young man warrants me in recon-
mending him highly have often
thought Of that reCOnlnle n3ation; re-
ally, the only way to be happy is to
be clean, physically, mentally and
morally, and these three parts of a
mans nature depend upon each other;
they are vitality related TO each other.
What man is in his mind, determ-
ines to quite ain extent what he is
physically and morally. A young
man ought to be careful what he
reads; what ne takes into his mind
the New Testament is d book that
should be read by every young man;
it is the best code of morals we have.
Then a man should avoid drugs of
every kind, liquors and tobacco
should be avoided, for they will, in
due time have their bad effects on the
man who uses them; you may not
think that tobacco does you harm,
but ask the men Of forty and fifty
years old and they Will tell you
the harmful results OF it. The use of
any drug Will eventually Interfere
with your happiness. and the insur-
ance companies recognize the danger
there is in tobacco to 8 mans health
this is also true regarding intoXicat-
ing liquors and other drugs. The
wise man viii avoid all these things
and thus contribute to his own hap
piness and the happiness Of those
about him.
