Many farmers wean pigs at six to
seven weeks Of age when the brood
sows have good flow Of milk and are
capable Of maintaining the young in
excellent condition and development
at less expense and trouble than the
young porkers could otherwise be
handled Their mothers milk is one
of the best feeds available for grow
ing pigs. and consequently 1t should
be used TO the greatest extent possl-

When the pigs are from six to
seven weeks old the sow should be on
full feed, unless for some extraordin-
ary reason the pigs should not be
weaned until the age of ten weeks.
ana In such instances it is preferable
70 allow them TO run with their moth

weeks old. Where pigs are weaned
too early serious results often attend,
as the abrupt change in the character
OF the ration many times creates seri-

TILE DRAINS ARE FAVORED
Where Money Is Not Available to Drain

for Size Of Tile.
tFrepared by the United states Depart

- -'NF@teu uy the United States Depart-
ment OF Agriculture)
A good drainage system on a fertile
farm that is not naturally well drained
Is a permanent improvement which
continues To pay dividends in the sorm
Of increased crop production. (Citv
gardens and lawns frequently need
drainage, and If properly .lled.
would be greatly improved) Tile
drains usually give more thorough
drainage than open bitches They
occupy no land surface and do nor in
terfere with farming operations. II
I properly constructed they require al
most no expenditure for maintenance.
Economic Arrangement.
The most economic arrangement OF
the drainage system is one that per
mits the use Of long laterals and re-
quires the shortest total length Of
main drains. No hard and fast rule
can be given for determining the size
of the tile to be used. Drains should
be large enough to remove the sur
plus water before the crops are in
jured. 1t is better to use sizes too
large than too small, and no tile less
than four inches in diameter should
he used. On common dark silt loans
where the average rainfall is approx
mately 36 inches, eight-inch tile having
q fall Of two inches to 100 feet will
provide outlet drainage for 40 acres;
seven-inch tile for 80 acres. six-inch
tile for 10 acres and four-inch tile for
six acres.
The proper depth for drain tiles de-
pends upon the soil and varies from
two to four feet In heavy silt loans
the depth should be from two to three
feet. In this case the laterals should
be placed from 30 to 40 feet apart. In
open soils that give up water readily,
and where the drains are three to four
feet deep the laterals may be from 80
to $50 feet apart. In the more porous
soils the space may be even greater.
Secure Proper Fall.
The drainage should have fan of
not less than one inch to 100 feet if
possible and greater fall than this is
very desirable. Where little fall is oh
tanned, particular care must be taken
to secure a proper grade. The drain
lge ditch should be started at the out
let and its course should follow a line

people of Birmin gham have made her freauent visits. One prominent woman of Birmingham made complaint this morning that she had lost $1TO0. adding that she gave Madame Clairvoyant the money to keep until her car. which had been stolen, was found. Many of the sions she told them what they desired to know and refunded the money ac- cording to the agreement.
 THE ALLEGED PLAN
 "One of the methods used by the woman according to victims was this: On the first visit to her for informa- tion, she would ask them for the use of A S2O bill for minute. She would take the bill wrap therein dime, wrapping this in paper and tying 1t around the persons neck, ordering him to wear it for period of time. When he returned for the second degree, she would ask for more money, always re- funding it, until she had gained her victims confidence It is all mysterious.
 s'Even my old washer woman came sneaking up to me this morning and told me that dat white 'oman done got away with $20 O mine
 ''We are making efforts to trace Madame Clairvoyant, and l suppose warrants will be issued tomorrow"
 The quarters formerly occupied by Madame Clairvoyant look very mysteri- ous. The rooms were covered with shades and one of the large signs on the door reads, No reading done on Sunday"

 This ordinance would require all elec- trical workers to pass a prescribed ex- animation given by a board and testing their ability to do electrical work.

 Electrical operators oppose the meas ure. It was brought out by them yes terday at the meeting of the city com missioners that they do not know the exact requirements of the proposed ordi- nance, and that they wish to be present when the arguments arc held
 The matter has been before the com missioners for several months. It was scheduled to come up yesterday, but rou- tine work of the regular meeting, ana other matters caused it to be postponed. 1t was decided that a special meeting he held at which anyone who wishes to be heard on the subject may appear before the commissioners.
 It is expected that a. large delegation from both the contractors and the work CTS will be present at the hearing and that the meeting will last several hours. Contractor yesterday urged that It IS necessary to their business interests that the matter be settled a an early date.

FAVOR REGISTRATION OF
 PEOPLE WHO MOVE
Chairman Randall Points Out Measure for PrOtec- tion Against the Un-
 scrupulOus

Business men of Birmingham prac- tically with one accord regret the tuin which has been given to thee ity orGi- nance which requires transfer compa- nies to register all removals with the police department.
 One of the transfer companies Whicn objected to the ordinance has secured an injunction preventing it's enforce ment during a test case which is pend- ing.
 .'The impression Is sought to be created" said Ira F. Randall, sales manager of the Starr Piano company who was chairman of special commit tee of business men which appeared oe- fore Commissioner Taylor recently ih behalf of enforcement of the ordinance. that only the furniture dealers are in favor of this ordinance.
 "Every merchant is in favor Of It and practically every business inter- est 1t is the only means of keeping record of property which in some cases is still unpaid for. So far as we have been able to learn the only persons who object to it are those who do not want it known when they move or where they have moved. And 1t IS just such as these that ought to be kept up with.
 'Tt is not alone the merchants who are benefited by such law. James r.. Hawkins county tax collector, ap- peared before MT. Taylor and pointed cut that it was imperative in the ad- ministration of his office to know where people lived And when they moved.
 Another man who appeared with the committee was Frank Butler, president of the Real Estate Exchange, who showed that such an ordinance is vital to real estate men and property own CTS in order that they may keep track of tkeir tenants and keep up with rent als and collections The ordinance has no terrors or inconveniences for the man who meets his obligations. It IS simply to protect the business men of the community against the unscrup- ulous It is desired practically unani- mously by the merchants of the city, the very men, by the way, upon whom the transfer men depend for the bulk of their business and it is really diff ficult to understand why such serious objection should be made by the tra/- fer men when the only thing required of them is slight amount of clerical work each day"

BARNWELL' FIERY TALK

pr BarnweH at the lunch made an in tensely patriotic address. in which he charged the people of Birmingham and Jefferson county not to fail in their duty to the boys who laid down their lives on the French battlefields.
 "The drive our boys made in the ,r- gonne," he declared was the capstone of victory. It was the gathering together of all the preceding victories. We can never forget how hard the boys fought there: how they charged through the mud fields. through the canals. and up against the stonewalls on which were mounted German machine guns which poured lead into the opcomng American hosts. Our boys beyond that stone wall Sedan and victory and they went on in the face of the death-dealing machine guns.
 "It is the spirit of those boys, the spir- it of the lost battalion the spirit of the dove that carried the message from the lost battalion and which wears the French Crox de Guerre; it is just that spirit that lives today; it is that spirit that lives in the hearts of Americans to- day"
