The shades of night were tailing last
As through an American village
passed
A maid who bore mid snow and ice
A banner with the strange device,
Register!
Her brow was glad; her eye beneath
Flashed like a falchion from its
sheath,
And like a silver clarion rung
The accents of that loyal tongue,
Register!
In happy homes she saw the light
Of household fires gleam warm and
bright;
“Over there” she thought, “they die,”
And from her lips escaped a cry,
Register!
“Oh, come and help-” the Allies said,
“Dark lowers the tempest overhead,
lThe wound we bear is deep and wide!”
And loud that clarion voice replied,

! “Oh stay”, the slacker said, “and
rest,”
“Take not too much upon thy breast!”
The profiteer came hustling by,
But still she answered with a sigh,

I Beware the awful avalanche!”

Hogs do not like to eat corn alone
any more than people -would like to
eat bread alone. Why not give the
hogs some vegetables (forage) with
their bread (corn) ? They will not
only grow faster and larger, but will
yield a greater profit.
These hogs were litter mates, hut
one was fed on corn alone and the
other on corn and forage. Which kind
do you prefer to raiser
Produce more forage and more hogs

FEED FOR THE SOW.
By H. K. Sanders, Agricultural Ex
tension Division, University of Ark
ansas.
Feed For the Sow Before Farrowing.
Sows fed on corn alone will not
bring strong and heavy pigs. Feed
some peanuts, wheat, shorts, tankage
or sweet milk with the corn in the fol
lowing proportion:
Corn 3 parts and shorts 1 part.
Corn 9 parts and tankage 1 part.
Com 2 parts and peanuts 1 part in
hull.
Com 3 parts and bran 1 part.
Corn 6 parts and cow'peas 1 part.
A 250-pound sow should have from
five to seven pounds per day of one
of the above mixtures if she is fed in
a dry lot and given plenty of fresh
wrater. The brood sow when carrying
her litter has to be fed with a view of
feeding the growing litter. The pros
pective pigs of the litter need proper
feed to lay the- foundation for their
future strength, size and constitu
i jwu. wuc; v/i cut' uiciiuo ujJUil
the sow at the time she is carrying
her litter is furnishing bone-making
material. She, therefore, requires an
extra amount of bone-making feed.
The lac4 of it is an injury to the lit
ter, and a danger to the sow. Provide
a trough with wood ashes, charred
corn cobs, charcoal and lime. For
details, see page 9, Farmers’ Bullet
in No. 566, on Boys’ Pig Clubs.
Feed For Sow After Farrowing.
The mother should not receive feed
for about 24 hours after giving birth
to the pigs. She is feverish, though,
and should be supplied liberally with
fresh water. The second day after
farrowing she should be given a small
feed of shorts and skim milk made in
to a thin slop. If there is no skim
milk on hand, mix about four parts of
corn with one of shorts, cowpeas,
soy bean meal or peanuts and give a
email quantity. She should be brought
up gradually to a full feed. This
should require about three weeks. If
she is overfed at first, the pigs are
likely to take the scours and thumps.
When on a full feed in a dry lot, she
will eat about four pounds of grain
per day for each 100 pounds she
w’eighs. If she weighs 200 pounds,
she will need about eight pounds per
day. If she weighs 250 pounds, she
will need about 10 pounds per day.
If she has the run of a good pasture
at least one-lialf of the grain will be
saved. If no pasture can be provid
ed, she will need to be fed about the
same as she was before farrowing
time, except that she will need more
grain than when dry. When the pas
ture is composed of Bermuda grass a
grain ration equivalent to 3 per cent
of her live weight should be fed and
the grain part of the ration should he
shorts, tankage and cowpeas. Ask
rour county agent for Circular No. 51
on how to build a self-feeder for

OBSERVES WILLARD
MEMORIAL SERVICE
The most enthusiastic meeting for
several months of the W. C. T. U. was
held Wednesday afternoon, when the
Willard Memorial service was ob
served, the meeting being held with
Mrs. A. T. Hubly.
A large attendance enjoyed an un
usually good program, including mu
sic by some of Newport’s best musical
talent, also some excellent talks on
the work and on Miss Willard’s work
by members of the W. C. T. U. Fred
It. Suits addressed the body of la
dies on the “breaking” of the bone-dry
law, and drew up resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted by the
members, asking Governor Brough
to call an extra session of the leg
' islature to remedy this calamity that
has befallen our state.
Mayor A. T. Hubly followed Mr.
Suits with a talk on the new work
the people of the nation has been call
'd upon to take up. “Th'e War Camp
Community Recreation Fund” of
which Mr. Hubly is chairman for this
county, wras discussed. The object is
to raise funds for healthful and clean
recreation for our soldiers in the
training camps.
Mrs. J. V. Isaacs was appointed to
assist in raising funds in Newport.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Mrs. M. A. Dorsey was unanimously
elected president of the W. C. T. U.,
which caused joy among members at
having such a capable leader in the
work. A light lunch concluded the
business meeting.
REPORT OF RED
CROSS ACTIVITY.
(Continued from page 1).
fastened together and made into af
ghans, warm and serviceable. Dig
into your scrap bag and see what you
can find.
Send us all the dress weights and
little bits of lead that you have. If
you cannot come to the work rooms,
let us know if you. would be willing
to rip, to cut, to do any of the things
that we might find we could send out
of the work room. We cannot send
out sewing for two reasons: First,
we have not facilities for doing it.
It would requre bookkeeping to keep
track of it. Second, it is too great a
risk to you and to us. If you should
have any contagious disease break
out at your house, such as scarlet
fever diphtheria, etc., it would cause
us, and you, great inconvenience.
Also, in case of sickness, it would
mean that any work you had taken
out would have to lie unmade and we
feel that we are gaining a great deal
of personal interest and inspiration
by working together. This is our
answer to the much repeated ques
tion. “Why may I not take the work
home?” When we have secured as
many workers as we think we can get
to come to the work rooms, and when
we see that we can get the money
for a greater output than we could
manage there, we may perfect an
organization through which we may
be able to give work out, but just
now, we are bending every effort to
make the workrooms of our chapter
not only efficient in output, but we
are constantly building up the stand
ard of our work, and we can only do
this by comparison with that of oth
er workers.
If you have a good light-running
sewing machine that you could spare
us—even if you should have to have
it back for spring sewing, please let
us know. If you could arrange to get
it to us it would so much more the
valuable.
Merchants can help us by saving
up strong paper boxes that might be
used in "shipping, or storing work
made and unmade till ready to go out.
And yet, no one has offered to do
our errands for us, but Mrs. Avera
has offered to get deliveries of ma*
chines or other things that would re
quire a wagon or truck.
Save us good stout string to do uj
shipments.
Give us clean wrapping paper ir
large sheets. We have to line a!
boxes with double paper and it take:
ten yards to line a box. Any of thes<
things that you could give is help
ing your country, and you may tele
phone your willingness to either Mrs
; Billingsley or Miss Elise Hooker
] Send scraps of yarn by messenger, oi
! mail.
i Finally, Mrs. Scarborough and Mrs
| Watson are doing a big work and ar(
willing to teach you to knit any o1
I the articles so in demand. It is bes'
i to learn on your own material, bu
! don’t let it be wool. Don’t mak<
i sweaters and caps for yourselves
; when the wool is so scarce we cai
j hardly get it for the soldiers. Als<
| you can help them if you will go ant
j get your material, and deliver youi
I own work when it is done. Make youi
: service as big as possible.
I Sew for the soldiers, knit for thi
l soldiers, make surgical dressings foj
the soldiers. Don’t feel if you art
doing one of these and could span
i time for it, that you shouldn’t do am
of the others. Knit between times
knit at night, try to arrange to giv<
; several hours in the work room. I:
I you don’t know how to knit or sew
you can learn.
