MarshaIlinE of Facts.

Sir Philip lectured upon the whole
situation Of Ireland, beginning a thou
sand years back. holding close to the
proofs of history and marshaling his
facts from the bed rock. He began by
stating that he intended to be absolutely
fair and throughout he dwelt again and
again on the point that he would be
ashamed to be anything but fair. and
then as he went along he told how irish
men had been silly and brutal, but that
Englishmen had also been silly and
brutal. and that Irishmen had muddled
but that Englishmen had muddled. and
that Irishmen had been incredibly
stupid now and again. but that English
men had also been stupid.
Placards carried by pickets outside
the hall before the lecture began must
have warned him that there would be ar
outbreak some time during the evening
they were the usual sort as to British
gold and American money fghting
Britain's battles. and Irish babies
slaughtered by the Black and Tans-
and the presence in the audience of lit
tie seat blocks of men and women
with the women predominating-of peo-
pie whose ancestry was obviously
Milesian must have assured him beyond
peradventure that some manner of COM
motion must sooner or. later be set
aga nst him. But by the orders. un-
doubtedly, OF the controlling minds who
had planned 1t, 1t did not break into
articulation until a quarter before 10
o'clock.

SIR PHILIP GIBBS

With Aid of Father Duffy He
Lectures on Situation in
Ireland.
HECKLERS ARE BAFFLED
War Correspondent Declares
Both Sides Have Muddled--
Cheered at Close.

Sir Philip Gibbs, in lecture on THE
Irish Situation" delivered last night at
Carnegie Hall, gave proof to the world
and the brotherhood OF public lecturers
that the way to discuss Ireland in the
presence of Irish sympathizers, and win
with 1t. Is to be exhaustively and i'm
partially and fearlessly fair.
He talked about ireland for an hour
and a half and was interrupted from
time to time but never with a We
hemence that threatened the success of
his lecture, and toward the end he re-
ceived the full attention of almost all OF
those who had come TO drive him from
the platform II IL could be done.
In this feat it is but fair to say-since
he himself stressed the doctrine of fair
play from the beginning of his talk 10
the end-that he had the assistance of
a lucky accident and a celebrated SOL
dier-the accident of the strategists
who had come to break him up reserv-
ing their fire until he had his audience
with him and in hand and the personal
support of the Rev. Francis p. Duffy,
famous chaplain of the 165th Infantry,
who climbed to the platform at one
point and told the disturbers present
that they were doing Ireland more
harm than good.

for many years. It 10 claimed that red
hogs have been imported into. this couu-
try from western Africa, Spain, and
Portugal. II this is true, no doubt these
all had an influence upon the origin OF
the Duroc-Jersey hog of to-day.
The breed originated In Saratoga
County, New York, and resulted from
crossing large red boar upon common
red sows. The boar was named Duroc
and hence this word In the name OF tho
breed. In New Jersey large red hog also
came into prominence about this time.
It was named the Jersey Red. This type
was much coarser than the Dur0c and
hence was not 80 popular. In 1883 leading
breeders Of tho twotypes agreed to blend
the two breeds and as . result We have
the Duroc.J Jersey breed, 70 popular to.

ors are not ut Gil uncommon. There
may be few black spots on the legs and
belly, but the desirable color is solid
red. Some Durocs reach reparkable
size, but in general q medium sizs is to
be preferred. Like the Poland-C China,
the face is inclined to be slightly dished
and the ears have about the same droop.
The body is heavy and deep and the
hams and shoulders are very well fashed.
Hogs of this breed are very popular.

Baby Elleen.s

She came as baby angel
Sent down from heaven above;
And she made our home most happy,
Filling all our hearts with love.
At night, when work.worn and weary,
With our hard days tasks az Ger,
A beautiful vision would greet Us
When we entered the dear home door.
A dear little blue-eyed baby
With hair the color Of gold
Cheeks that seemed kissed by the roses
While their beautiful petals unfold
Lips that invite you to kiss them
Dimples that play all the WHILE
Baby hands reaching up to caress you
What compares with the love Of child!
But a dark cloud seemed to gather
Ger our home one summer day,
For our little blue.eyed darling
Was too sick to laugh and play;
And the weary little mother
Watching DER her through the Might
Prayed to God-"O, save my Eileen"
"Do not take her from my sight"
How the little darling suffered
As she lay there day by dayi
How the little hands would tremble
And her head would turn awayi
And the bright blue eyes, 90 faded
With the pain no one could share,
Would look up as you came near her
With pleading hard to bear.
Soon the angels came TO claim her,
For our pray RS were all In vain;
And the hearts Of those who loved her
Were filed with life's hardest pain.
And the darling little brother
With brown eyes, and age Just three,
Said-"My little sis' is sleepingi
She'll wake to laugh and play with mel"
Now, you ask him where his SIS Is
He will answer right away,
"Whyi my sis is up In Heaven
Where the little angels play"
Yet we feel her gentle presence
And the touch of o little hand;
While some sweet voice whispers softly
"she waits You In Spirit Landw

Hen Accounts.

To aid the poultrymen of Maine in
keeping accounts whereby they may
definitely reckon their profits, and be
able to determine what methods of man.
agement are best suited to their oondi-
tions, the College of Agriculture extern
sion service is working out plan that
meets with general favor.
The matter was first taken up by the
county agents with their community
committees and poultry project leaders,
to ascertain how many people would
start keeping poultry accounts, Nov. 1,
on books to be furnished by the college.
The favorable responses totalled S41,
distributed by counties az follows: Ken.
nebec 81, York 81, Cumberland 35, Knox
and Lincoln %, Penobscot 26, Hancock
20, Androscoggin and Sagadahoc 20,
Piscataquis 20, Oxford 10, Washington
10. Somerset 16, Waldo Is. franklin 8.
Each person cooperating with the ex-
tension service In the plan enters In bis
account book an inventory OF stock and
equipment on hand ut the beginning,
and makes a monthly report showing
items Of expense and receipts, charging
for his labor, on the basis Of labor cost
in that community. For eggs used In
bis family he credits bis account accord
ing to the price he receives from custom
ers.
From these reports the farm manage
msnt demonstrators OF the college exten.
sion service makes monthly summary
showing average egg-production OF all
the flocks In each county, copies of this
summary being sent to all those who are
keeping the accounts. ;.
Once in four months . summary ia
made showing average costs Of feed and
| labor and average returns per bird, z
CODY of this summary being sent to each
person cooperating. At the end of the
year the records will be summarized In
such a way ~ to show what manage
ment methods are most profitable.
The prompt manner In which the 70
ports are coming In is evidence that th'
participants appreciate the practical 70
suits Of the service.
