GOVT MEETS DEFEAT
IN HOUSE OF COMMONS

London. Feb. 25-The government
was defeated in the house Of COM
mons today on a private members
motion. calling for large increase in
the pensions to all policemen retired
prior to April 1919 in order to meet
the increased cost Of living. The mo-
ton was carried by vote Of 1913 to
81. although it was opposed by the
government.
The home secretery. Edward Short
In behalf OF the government said he
recognized that the house was in
favor Of the motion. but it would cost
50, 000, 900 pounds and would be fol-
lowed by similar demands from all
other government pensioners. and
therefore was inconsistent with the
demands made upon the government
TO exercise economy. He promised,
however, to see II anything was pos
sibic to relieve really hard cases.
The defeat Of the government has
no political Significance but it is con-
sidercd that it will be rather useful
to the government as an illustration
Of the difficulties of effecting econ

Did You Ever Have a Perfectly Good
Hog Eat Her Pigs?
Then read the following, from the
Farmers Home Journal. and think it
over:
The Pig-Eating Sow.
Vt. L. NCON AOINL4N1
County Agent, Hartford.

When a SOW eats her pigs, it can be
traced always to improper care of
her during pregnancy. If she has
been fed plen:y of bone-producing
and growth food during this
period she is much less apt 20 develop
a tendency to eat her offspring, and
the trouble is not often developed
If the SOW has been running on good!
succulent pasture. Some breeders
watching the SOW carefully at farrow-
time, remove and burn or bury the
afterbirth as soon as it is passed
claiming that If she is permitted to
eat it, as she will usually do, 1t will
stimulate in her desire to eat her
young. Others hold the contrary
opinion and even tempt the SOW 10
eat the afterDir.h en- the presumption
that ii satisfies the meat craving of
her appetite, but the general opinion
is in favor of removing 1t from the
sight and smell of the sow and de-
stroying it. An ounce Of prevention
is worth a pound of cure and when,
signs of farrowing' appear, green
washy feeds and plenty of water con-
stantly before the animals are all TO
be commended. Exercise is also val
liable in keeping the prospective
mother in good condition, but in
spite of all, some sows will develop
the canniballistic instinct In such
cases, salt pork fed to the animal,
two or three pounds, If that much
seems to be necessary to appease her
meat appetite, will usually correct
any pig-eating desires. Plain salt
pork cut in thin slices and fed one at
a time until the sow seems satisfied
is about all that can be done, and it
sometimes fails. Careful attention
to feed and exercise of the sows dur
ing pregnancy>wih do more to elimi-
nate this trouble than any other
thing you can do.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1920-03-12

dogmas and interpretations their eff
forts to Christianize the world would
be largely wasted. For how can
ministers, missionaries or anyone
else hope to carry weight with non
churchgoers, unbelievers and heather
when so many rival brands of So
called Christians exist that small de-
pendence can be placed in any OF
them, 1t was asked. Now in a mea-
sure the various denominations have
sunk their pride and ceased their
haggling. They have adopted a pro.
gram by which they hope to carry on
the work of the Lord more effective
ly than ever before. The plan pro-
vides that all the Christian chur ,hes
having the same faith in Christ snall
band themselves into a body to be
known as the United Churches of
Christ in America" Each is allow
ments, its form of worship and its
form of government, but the mapp-
ing out and direction of the work is
placed in the hands of an executive
council in which each constituent is
to be represented by certain num-
berthe number Ito be equal-of
ministers and laymen, women includ-
ed.
1t is the special duty of this body
to unity and harmonic the work of
the different churches, direct their
missionary activities and equitably
distribute their efforts so that some
areas will not be overcrowded while
others remain destitute, as is the case
now. In sections supplied with more
church facilities than are deemed
necessary two or. more denominations
will be united and the extra forces
put to work in other fields.
The same method will apply in re-
gard to evangelism, social service and
religious education. The allies didn't
work to much advantage until they
united under one generalissimo. In
the same way the churches have come
to realize the value of union and it is
hoped and expected that greater bene-
fits will result under the present plan
than were ever possible when their
energy was spent in controversies and
jealousies among each others.

calves from the Herefords are a great
improvement over the scrub calves,
and at the same time produce as
much milk as the scrubs. Very few
farmers keep Jersey cows, as there is
no outlet for the male calves, only to
sell them as veals.
The farmers are beginning to ro-
tate, and now farms which used to
yield 20 to 25 bushels of corn now
yield SO to 40 bushels.
am farming 200 acres, 125 acres
in bottoms and as in hill. Hill very
rough and used mostly for pasture
of red top, timothy and clover mix
ture. My system of rotation in bot
tom is corn with soy beans in row,
which is hogged off with light hogs:
then to peas or oats, followed with
timothy in September, with light
seeding of clover in February when
the ground is honeycombed from
freezing, which is cut two years for
hay, pastured one year. then ready
for corn, by which have increased
the yield of corn from 25 bushels in
1910 to AZ bushels in 1918. use 16
per cent acid phosphate at the rate
of IT'S to 200 pounds pre- acre.
My advice to farmers is to go easy
until prices of farm products are es-
tablished on a firnrer basis and con-
serve the fertility of the land. The
farm is thought to be the haven of
rest" where the farmer makes his own
living at his leisure and what he sells
is 100 per cent clear profit at any
price / hope to see more improv-
ment in farming and stock raising in
this section in the next ten years than
| have seen in the past ten-C. w.

WRONG TOWN GETS FEAST

The names Caceres and Nuevo Ca
ceres are somewhat alike but the re-
sidents' of those two Spanish towns
would seriously resent the slightest
inference that they have anything in
common. The village priest of Nue.
70 Caceres celebrated the 25th an
niversary of his entry into office a
few days ago. In preparation for the
event supply of pastry and other
refreshments was ordered from
nearby town for the entertainment of
his Pensioners,
The hour arrived but no refresh
ments were forthcoming although
they had been promised. After wait
ing what they considered more than
a reasonable length of time the peo-
pie went away grumbling. Then
word came that through a mistake
the delicacies had been delivered to
a priest who had but recently taken
up his duties there at Caceres, a
town some six miles distant. Without
waiting to hear any more 120 angry
villagers armed themselves with clubs
and firearms and set out for. Caceres.
There the priest, who looked on
the feast as surprise gift, was en-
joying it with his Pensioners. When
the mob from the other town arrived
they forced themselves into the
building, seized the astonished priest
and ducked him in horse-trough.
Sticks and pokers were welded
among the guests, who defended
themselves by hurting chairs and
benches at the intruders. The battle
ragged for half an hour before order
was restored by the police. Several
combatsnts were beaten into un-.
consciousness and two men, injured
during the fight, died in hospital
