NEW YORK, Feb. S10-North east
ern United States, not yet dug out
from under the snow banks left by
last weeks blizzard, today was swept
by another storm of equal fury. Train
schedules were disrupted and surface
ear and motor traffic was all but
raralyzed.
Driving down on a northeast gale,
the binding wall of falling snow
largely nullifed the efforts of thous-
ands of workmen throughout the sec
ton to clear streets and highways of
the previous fall, which already has
cost millions of dollars
The gale swept out to sea, piling up
mountainous wives which hampered
shipping along the north Atlantic.
Wireless reported numerous calls
from ships requesting radio compass
bearing. Suburbs and outlying vii
lagos were particularly hard hit, many
heing completely isolated Transpor-
tation lines in many of these places
partially or completely suspended.

THE MODERN USE OF GAS

a great deal. The editor Of the Gas

THE ORIGIN OF A
FAMOUS HYMN

rev mOuSfn hymns nave mace So
deep an impression on religious
people as Hold the Fort. That is part
~ because the tune is stirring and,
as musicians say, ''singable,7 but it
is also because the words have vivid
ness and picturesqueness. Those
qualities are probably due to the fact
that the song was based on an actual
happening of our Ciyal War and writ
ten while the imagination of the
author was still fired by the dramatic
character of the episod and by its
symbolic applicability to the spiritual
warfare that the followers of Christ
must continually wage. This is the
story:
During October, 1864, just before
General Sherman began his famous
march to the sea, and while his army
was encamped near Atlanta, the army
of General Hood managed to get by
the right flank of Sherman's army
appeared in its rear and began to
destroy the railway, burn the smaller
block houses and seize the provisions
that had been stored in them. Sher-
man put strong force in motion to
overtake Hoods army and save the
most important posts, the most es
sential Of which was that in Allatoona
Pass, defile in the mountains,
through which the railway ran. Cen
eral Corse was stationed here with
a brigade of about five thousand men;
Colonel Tourtellotte was second in
command. No less than million and
half rations were stored there Gen
eral Hood sent six thousand men un-
der General French to take the earth
warks that defended the post. French
surrounded the works and demanded
their surrender Course refused, and
the fighting began. Slowly the Union
troops were driven back into one
small fort on the crest of the hill.
Many had fallen. and the defense of
the post seemed almost hopeless. At
this moment an officer saw white
signal flag waving from the nights
across the valley, severalimiles away
1t was on the summit of Kenesaw
Mountain The signal was answered,
and the message that came back read:
Hold the fort, am coming. Sher-
man"
The cheers rang out, and the de-
tense was resumed with fresh cour-
age General Corse was wounded in
the head, and Colonel Tourtellotte
took command. He held the fort thru
three more hours of sharp fighting
Then the advance guard Of Sherman's
force came up, and the French had to
retreat
No incident of the war illustrates
so thoroughly the inspiration tNst
follows the knowledge that the c~e
mander is present and cognizan Of
our position, and that he is hasten
ing to our help. Sherrnan's mevFa e
to the soldiers of Allatoona is SIM
boil of the message of the Great Com
mander to all who fight life's battles:
Hold the Fort, for I am coming"

INTERESTING NOTES OF FART
BUREAU WORK
Winter Feed For Breeding Ewes

Winter Feed For Breeding Ewes
Winter feeding and management
has very important relation to the
returns from the flock. The feeding
should be such as we'll produce the
most vigorous lambs and at the same
time keep the wool in good condition.
Leguminous hays, straws, and corn
slower usually form the main part Of
economical winter rations. Clover,
alfalfa, or soy bean hay, if good
quality may be used as the sole feed
until near lambing time from to-
81 pounds being sufficient for ewes
weighing less than $50 pounds.
Timothy hay is not good for sheep
feed on account of it being to dry and
containing to much fiber, and thus
causes impaction and results in the
death of many sheep during the win
ter feeding months. Such succulent
feed as roots and silage are desir-
able in keeping the ewes in good
health. In feeding silage care should
be taken not to give the sheep any
that is nodded or frozen, and in no
case should it be fed to excess. For
ewes weighing about $50 pounds L Va
to pounds per head daily is enough,
although it may be possible to feed
little more with safety Silage can
not be used safely without any hay.
Along with the silage the ewes
should get some palatable dry rough
age, and they should also have some
grain, for silage is essentially a
roughage and should also be regard
ed as substitute for grain. Be-
cause of its succulent nature the use
of silage should make ewes more
healthy and thrifty, particularly If
no green feed is available in the
fields.
If you stop and figure up the loss
in a great many cases you pay the
price for good legume hay, by loosihg
some of your ewes, and when ever a
sheep is in poor physical condition it
can not produce good lamb or fleece
Of wool A good ration for breeding
ewes weighing $50 lbs. 2 lbs alfalfa
or soy bean hay. corn silage 2 lbs.
and 4 ID. of corn.
