London, March 5--The new revolu-
tion In Germany, apparently backed by
the weight of the greater part Sof the
workers and radical elements, had re-
suited today in growing appreciation
of the necessity for speeding conclu-
sion of preliminary peace.
The British press was advocating
moral support of the present German
government as well as supplying the
country with food. The newspapers
expressed fear that unless this were
done the allies would be unable to col :
lect any indemnities. A Spartacan VIC
tory, they pointed out. might necessi-
tate armed occupation Of Germany for
an indefinite period.
q REDS SUCCESSFUL.
Conflicting reports were received to-
day regarding the progress of the new
revolution. The uprising was to have
been signalized by a general strike in
Berlin The latest direct reports from
that city indicated the strike. called
Monday evening, was attended by riots
in which the Spartacans were tempor-
arily successful at least.
They are said to have seized the
central police station. Later uncon-
firmed reports said War Minister
Noske by employment OF large bodies
Of troops had succeeded in restoring
order and that the city was still un-
der martial law.
No confirmation had been received
Of a report yesterday that the national
assembly was about to be dissolved.
Armed clashes between radicals and
government troops were reported In
other parts OF the country, partIcu-
larly at Halle. where the Spartacans
are said to have put up stiff re-
sistancA.

1t is of the greatest Importance in
producing pigs for, the market that
they gain in weight as rapidly as pos
sible. The modern hog is highly
specialized and efficient machine for
the conversion of grain and roughage
into edible meat; but to obtain the
greatest efficiency, to make the most
pork from given amount Of feed to
make the best pork, and to make that
pork most economically the machine
must be kept running to capacity from
birth to the time of marketing. Moth
ing is more important than this fac
tor. The question of breeding, the
kind of feeds fed, and the proportion
of the protein to the fattening ele-
ments in the ration are all important
and are all means to the same end,
but If the greatest profit is to be re-
turned to the feeder his pigs must
make maximum gains at all times.
The first opportunity to force the
pigs comes when they are few weeks
old. Up to this time they have been
living solely on their dams milk; in

STUDY BEST USE OF
DIVERS FERTILIZERS
Small Field Plats for Purpose
Have Been Established.
Special Tests Conducted to Determine
Amount of Potash Needed to
Meet Requirements OF
Tobacco Plant.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The enormous fertilizer consumption
in the United States, amounting to
more than a hundred million dollars
prior to the war, has undergone In
the last few years decided change,
not so much In volume as In the COM
position of the fertillzlng materials.
This has forced a careful study of
ratios Of essential plant-food constit-
uents on prominent and essential
crops.
Accordingly, small field plats for
the study of fertilizers have been es-
tablished by the United States de-
partment of agriculture 'on different
soils and under different agricultural
conditions. The test fields now in
operation are at Presque Isle, Me-;
State College, Pa; Norfolk, Va;
Florence, S. c.; Pecan City, Ca;
Putney. Ca; Thomasville. Ca; Mon.
ticello, Fla; Orlando, Fla.; Ashland.
Wis, and Scottsburg, Ind.
Special field tests have been con-
Quoted to determine the smallest
quantities Of potash which will meet
the requirements of the tobacco plant,
more especially on the lighter soils
Of the flue-cured district. Marked re-
sponses have been obtained with only
"a pounds, and even as low as II
pounds, of potash per acre. These
applications have sufliced to prevent
the appearance of the characteristic
symptoms of potash deficiency which
the plant shows when no potash Is
Supplied in the fertilizer. 1t has been
possible also to establish an appre-
ciable difference between the sulphate
and the muriate Of potash in their &c
ton on the plant.
The unusual fertilizer situation has
brought forth numerous fertilizer sub
stitutes of more or less doubtful merit
for which extravagant claims are
made. Companies are organizing to
exploit fertilizer materials, concern
ing the value CT which little is known,
and a considerable increase in such
test work seems necessary. Several
such products have been investigated
and tested by the department. Some
of them are practically worthless and
others have value entirely out Of pro-
portion to prices charged.

ALFALFA IS VALUABLE CROP
Plant Is One of Beet Soil Builders, But
Seed Must Be lnoculated
Before Sown.

Alfalfa is one of the best soil build
ers, but to do its work the seed must
be inoculated before sown. That is,
the seed must be treated with bacteria
bacteria we will call
them. This can be done by coating the
seed with growth Of the bacteria Sc
cured through your county agent, who
will also tell you how to use it, or by
scattering soil from an alfalfa field
upon the ground to be planted. Soil
on which sweet clover has been grown
will do just as well as soil from an
alfalfa field.

WAYS TO CONTROL HOG LICE
Complete Eradication Is Best Secured

prepared by the United States Depart

Lice on hogs can be controlled In
various ways, but complete eradication
Is best secured by the use of dipping
vats, experiments show.
Medicated hog wallows and rubbing
posts, the experiments showed, kept
the number of parasites reduced so
that they caused little or no damage.
but neither of these methods destroyed
all the lice. Crude petroleum was used
on the rubbing posts and the wallows
were medicated with ccal-tar creosote
dips, pine tar, crude petroleum, and
bland oils. Crude petroleum and coal
tar creosote dips proved to be more
effective when applied from an ordi-
nary sprinkling can than when used in
wallows or on rubbing posts.

A Good-Sized, Profitable Litter.

us has been demonstrated by repeat
cd failures to raise newly-born pigs on
cows milk. The milk of the sow Is
much richer in protein, fat, and ash
than Is cows milk, and the latter
makes such poor substitute that pigs
under two weeks of age usually die
Of digestive troubles following its ex-
elusive use. After growing for three
weeks the young pigs begin to have an
appetite for some feed to supplement
the sow's milk, and they should be
fed, for unless they are the strain on
the SOW will be a very serious one.
The pigs will eat from the sow's
trough, especially If she is being fed
on thin. sloppy feeds. A pen should
be arranged adjoining that Of the
dam and separated from it by a par
tition with sufficient room at the bot
tom to allow the pigs to run under. In
the inclosure to be used by the little
pigs place a low, shallow trough to
contain their skim milk or mash.

The best feeds for pigs at this age

where there Is lack of skim milk

New York.-Women should take the
rainy day seriously. They should not
save up for 1t; they should prepare for
1t, advises a prominent fashion writer.
The Saving up" process may sound
wise to philosophers. and 1t may ap-
peal to financiers when translated In
terms of coin; but when 1t applies to
apparel, the philosophy and the prac-
tice are all wrong.
Can any woman answer the question
as to why she should look her worst
on a day when she needs to look her
best? Why does che feel that every
occasion in life requires a certain kind
of costume, except day Of bad wealth
er? Thinking along the right track
would make one confident that spe-
cial costume for rainy day Is as nee
essary as one for dinner party. The
average woman, in fact, the vast ma
jority Of women, will tell you that they
wear out their old clothes when the
skies are gray, the snow flies, and the
rain soaks the atmosphere and floods
the streets.
There are individuals who achieve
In life the distinction Of wearing old
clothes as well as they do new ones
of investing any costume with q GER
tain chic. But these are individuals,
rare types among women who are en-
We'd by all the others and who are en-
abled, through this personal achieve
ment, to- be economical If they so de-
sire. They are a class apart, they are
not models for other women. No one
can initiate them. An extraordinary
distinction in dress is gift, as Harry
Lauder says, and not habit.
Now, cutting out these women who
may do anything they please in the
realm of dress, there is world of
women to be guided, counseled and
chided in the kind of clothes they save
up for bad weather. If clothes cannot
be worn in the sunshine, 1t Is obvious
that they are unbecoming, ungraceful,
out of style. They must have serious
defects, or they would continue In har-
ness. Hung In the dark corners Of the
closet, and taken out only for the dark
hours of the day, they cannot be ex-
pected to glorlfy or enhance woman's
appearance. Yet, one finds almost in
variably that these are the clothes
which dot the streets on rainy days;
that appear in the shops, and that do
duty at luncheon.
And what is the result? A woman
dresses herself in all the things that
she dislikes and has discarded, goes
abroad under gray sky, and finds
herself accepting an invitation to
lunch or dropping in for an afternoon
tea when the sun Is shining, the streets
are dry. and she looks like the symbol
of an old clothes shop.

Entire Leather Suit.
One woman turns herself out on the
street whenever her best clothes arc
inadvisable, in beige-colored leather
suit made by sporting goods house.

In the back, then Tapped over to allow
room for walking. The trench coat
Is cut double-breasted, with large.

In which a woman now places her
purse and handkerchief. The cap, the

which goes twice about the neck, are
in dark red. The double row of but
tons are made Of leather. and tan
shoes, with rubber soles and heels, are
laced up as high as the new regula-
tions will permit.
Leather is costly, you know, 'and
every woman does not feel that she
can indulge in 1t, but heavy brown
tweed, which stands the rain In an
admirable manner, Is used as a sub
stitute by another well-dressed woman.
This has a short skirt heavily stitched
at the hem, and the odd blouse, which
looks like jacket, goes over the shoul-
ders, is fastened at each side Of the
chest, and has a muller as an attached
collar. The buttons on this suit nre
Of leather, and the loops that go over
them are of stitched tweed. There Is
a fiat cap of brown leather, and the
high shoes have no heels, but thick,
extension soles and leather laces.
When Old Clothes Are Used. .
There are women who cling to their
old suits and frocks fer certain occa-
sions. Nothing can divorce them from
these garments as long as they hold
together. Habit Of mind compels
these women to use these clothes for
umbrella days, but the necessity for
warmth may compel them to get q
storm coat that covers all the shabbi-
ness beneath and presents to the out
side world that spick-and-span appear
