Boston, Dec. 10.-James J. Storer, fuel administrator for this state was placed in charge of coal conservation Tn New England by the New England federal fuel committee today.

BALANCE IN l.. $. FAVOR.
Claims Against Germany for Ships
 Sunk More Than Offset Amount Due.

Washington, Dec. 10.--America' $ claims against Germany growing out of the sinking of the Lusitania and other vessels by submarines and on ac- count of other war damages will more than offset the amount which will be due from the United States on account of the 100 German steamers seized in American ports when the United States entered the war, shipping board officials said today.
 Under the peace treaty the value of the vessels, estimated by board officials at from $130,000,00 to S14O,OOO, will be credited to Germany on indem mites awarded by the allied rebara- tions commission, but as the America n claims before tho commission will more than offset the value of the ships, officials asserted there was little likel- hood that the United States would be called upon to make any payment to the commission.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 10.-Mary Ryan was declared the mother of Baby Irene" whom Mrs. Dolly l..

HOG HAS NUMEROUS ENEMIES
louse Is Most Common Of Pests and
Aso Easiest to Get Rid Of
Oiler Is Effective,

The hog has numerous enemies,
among the worst of which are para
sites. The hog louise is the most COM
mon of these pests and 1t might alss
be said 1t is also the easiest to get rid
Of.
Medicated or crude oil will drive out
lice, and at their first appearance every
hog raiser should get busy without de-
lay. II yeu have a dozen or more hogs
1t will pay you to get hog oiler for
applying the oil, as this permits the
hog itself to rub the oil directly into
the itchy. lousy parts, without any
trouble to you.
Don't let your hogs keep rubbing
away their flesh and your profits on
every fence rail. post, tree, etc. and
put themselves In . physical condition
to fan easy victims to the germs Of
cholera and other scourges. One hog
oiler 10 every 20 to 80 hogs will re-
lisve them from torments Of lice and

prepared by tho United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Many farmers have their sows far
rev during the months of March and
April and the early fall months in the
South. Since the weather is often Sc
we're in northern sections during March
md April. care should be taken to pro-
tect the SOW from cold. Give her
enough straw to make warm bed, but
not SO much as to allow the little pigs
to get covered and crushed. The SOW
should have clean water but nothing
else for the. first "a hours after the
pigs arrive.
Feed for First Week.
On the second day thin bran mash
or skim milk will be reished. Feed
moderately for the first week. A mix
ture of two parts of corn and one 81
niddlings may be fed in increasing
amounts until the SOW is eating a full
feed. If skim milk can be fed in ad-
ditlon to the grain, there is nothing
better to make the SOW give a full
dow Of milk. Another good grain mix
ture for the SOW at this time is six
parts Of corn and one of oil meal. II
skim milk is available, the sow will
do well on four pounds of milk to one
of corn. A full grain ration for day
should never be more than four per
cent Of the sow's live weight. If the
SOW can be put on alfalfa, clover, blue
grass. or rape pasture. less corn will
be required. A corn ration of about
two per cent of the sow's live weight
with good pasture makes cheap and
adequate supply.
Care Of Young Pigs.
As soon as the little pigs begin to
eat they will do best If fed additional
slop In separate pen and away from
their mother and the larger pigs. This
can be done by having a pen or a
lot where choice clover or other for
age crop is growing to which the pigs
may have access, but where the open
ing is 50 small that the larger pigs
cannot pass through. When the young
pigs are from eight to ten weeks old
they should be weaned. This often
causes a serious check In their
growth. but should not do SO. When

Sow With Profitable Litter.

It is desirable to wean the pigs put the
mother In a pen leaving creep for
the pigs. Feed the SOW sparingly;
give water instead of slop and have
the grain ration dry. While the SOW
is receiving a maintenance ration the
pigs should be fed all they will con-
sumo without waste. A ration con-
sisting Of such feeds as skim milk,
middlings. corn, and green forage will
satisfy the pigs appetites and simplify

Every branch Of commercial activity

at the Motor Truck Show in Madison
Square Garden and the sixty-ninth Reg
iment Armory, for the services to which
the modern commercial motor vehicles
may be applied are now legion.
From the short haul and light weight

long distance transportation schedules
Of tho manufacturer the motor truck
satisfactorily fills its notch. II not only
serves az q vehicle OF utility. but in
comparison with costs OF other modes OF

for Commercial Cars, Says
Goodrich Company.

New York will spend moro money for
rubber tires during 1919 than any other
state in the Union.
II is estimated by experts Of the Il. r.
Goodrich Rubber Company that more
than 100000 will be spent by Empire
State motorists for cord ana fabric tires
for passenger cars alone, ana that in sx-
cess OF 100000 will be exchanged by
commercial car or truck owners for solid
and pneumatic tires. This makes total
OF sos, 100000 which New Workers. are
expected to spend for tires.
The passenger car tire figure IL based
on tho states 1918 automobile reEistra-
tion OF 3S7.391, the greatest In any
state. and the normal increase In tire
consumption on new cars to be purchased
this year. Automobile and tire men
consider the figures conservative.
New York's truck registration for
1913 reached the surprising total OF "a
s9s--an increase Of 80 per cent over the
preceding year, when 55.+04 commercial
cars were listed at Albany. The States
gain in passenger cars during last year
over 1917 was 10 per cent.-approSi-
nately one-fourth Of tho Increase made
in trucks.
The Goodrich figures for tires for
trucks OF 325.000.000 was arrived at af-
ter carefully averaging the proportions
OF solid and pneumatic tires used on
commercial cars and the various costs OF

truck. and the manner in which the thou
sands of vehicles stood UP under the
gruelling service in the war zone evil
denced the fact that the American en-
gneers were working along the right
lines. With the war over, these inn
provements are to be benefited by the
business men OF the country. What the
Advancement really has been will read
ly become apparent to even the more
casual visitor to the Truck Show In the
Garden and Armory. The last time
New York had an opportunity to inspect
a large number of trucks under one roof
was in 1918, when shows were held In
the Garden and at Grand Central Pal
ace.
Ono great phase OF transportation Is
the possibility OF increased production
on the part OF the farmer and the use
OF trucks for decreasing the cost to the
consumer. Statistics compiled by Gov
eminent experts prove conclusively the
economic value of the motor truck. In
1913 the average haul from market to
city cost IS cents the ton mile with
trucks. against 81 cents the ton mile by
conventional carriers, and on short
hauls averaging about eleven miles. a
distance not SO favorable to the
economical use of trucks as longer hauls
The trucks utilized for hauling from the
farm 70 the chipping point averaged
11.3 miles and - round trips to nine
miles for horses and IL round trips.
