SPRING DRIVE FOR MOLASSES STARTS IN PERRY

"Dropping of the Sweet" Has Started, Writes Nate Edwards. ' ECONOMY, Ind., Feb. 22 The first maple molasses of the season made in Perry township was by Miss Dora Pierce, Tuesday afternoon. She bored in a big sugar tree that stands near , the house, Monday afternoon and the beginning of dropping of the sweet started. Seven quarts of the sap was secured and converted into one pint of thick 'lasses. Miss Pierce is a music teacher of note, but she believes in conserving things in time of season and has given up the piano for the forest.

I put it on and fastened it, then ad

justed my hat, a small black velvet affair, and put on my coat, a threequarter semi-dress wrap of black velvet Then I selected a pair of fresh white gloves, and drew them on. I fastened them slowly. I was beginning to have an unaccountable dread of this dinner with Jack. . How Madge Met Jack "Margaret!" "Jack!" It was, after all, a simple thing, this meeting with my cousin-brother that I had so dreaded. Save for the fact that he took both my hands in his, any observer of our meeting would have thought that it was but a casual one, instead of being a reunion after a separation fo a year. I had seen him as soon as I turned the corner of Thirty-eighth street and Sixth avenue. He stood in front of the ladies' entrance of the Troxingham, looking eagerly up and down. He was smoking one of the inevitable long black cigars which I always associate with Jack. As soon as be saw me he threw it into the street. I felt an indefinable little thrill clutch my heart as he did it. In the brotherly and sisterly relation with which Jack and I had grown up his cigar was a matter of course instead of courtesy. His. throwing it away seemed in some subtle way forever to have destroyed the old relatioship. "Shall we go directly to Broquin's?" he asked, as he fell into step beside me. "It is so early we shall be able to get our old table and have a good talk while we eat." "I should like that." I said. My voice sounded unsteady. . This meeting had upset me strangely. I seemed to have stepped bask years In my life. My marriage to Dicky, my life with him, my love for him, seemed in some curious way to belong to some other woman. I was again Margaret Spencer, going with my best friend to the

HOG GREATEST MEAT PRODUCER

R

By P. C. HOLDEN.

AISE more hogs is the quickest and best solution to the problem of

satisfying an ever-increasing demand for meat.

Philip H. Hale, editor of the National Farmer and Stock Grower,

has given much thought and study to the meat problem from the

standpoint cf the farmer, and at my request, has prepared the following article : In this emergency we should not underestimate the importance of the hog. On two million farms there are no hogs. On every such farm the farmer should buy a bred sow immediately. He should feed the male pigs when he gets them and grow the females to be bred. He does not have to buy many sows to start hog raising. We do not speak in favor of the hog to the exclusion of other classes of stock. The hog is not our favorite, but he is in first position and cannot be driven out. In the grains, wheat and corn will win the war; in meat animals, he. conqueror is the hog. Cows and Hogs Compared. We recently had a great live stock show at Chicago and the champion steer weighed 1.610 pounds at 29 months or 870 days of age. The cow that had the champion steer for a calf could have had another calf and be coming on with another since the champion calf was dropped. One steer weighing 1.GO0 pounds and another weighing 1,000 pounds would represent about all the meat the cow would show in market In two clear years and five months. But a sow that gave a litter of pigs when that champion steer was dropped

merry laugh which had so' often cheered my mother'6 sick room. "Gee, but it seems good to hear you

j again!" he exclaimed. "How soon can j I see you?"

"Why, at any time!" I answered. "I have saved today for you." "Good! Shall I come for you, or will you meet me? I see you have moved. I telephoned the old place, and Mrs. Stewart gave me your new

number. What's the matter with her

anyway? I started to ask her ab'out you, and she cut me off as if she were angry at something." " . "Shall I answer your questions in the order they are r.sked?" I inquired lightly, in order to gain time to think. Of one thing I am certain. Jack must not come to the apartment after me. It would mean Dicky's, anger' if he found it out, and of course I would not think of keeping the knowledge from him "Any way you like," Jack returned, "just so I see you as soon as possible." "Well, then, first, I will meet you. I'll be ready to start in a few minutes, so we would only waste time if you came after me. Second, yes, I have moved. Third, I think Mrs. Stewart is cross because T moved away from her home. I will tell you about it when I see you." "All right, where do you want to eat, the old place?"

"By all means." "Let me see, the Troxingham is just around the corner from Broquin's. Suppose you come directly to the ladies' parlor of the Troxingham. the Thirty-eighth street entrance, and I'll be there. How Ions will it take you

to get there?" "I made a rapid mental calculation. "About half an hour." "All right. That's an awful long time to wait to see you, but I suppose it can't be helped. Good-by." "Good-by." I hung up the receiver, and walked to my room. I was all ready save for the changing of my gown. For the restaurant I must don a smarter frock than the little street suit I had worn on my errand to Mrs. Stewart's. It did not take long to decide, which dress to wear. My two evening gowns were out of the question, and I did

The four Utters of pigs, say eight to a litter, could all have grown and at 10 i

months old each weigh 250 pounds. It is not impossible for one sow to market 7,500 pounds of meat on the hoof in 29 months, as against 2,600 pounds produced by the best cow In the world. Especially Is this true In the South, where the climate is mild and the growing season long. In the Northern states farmers usually depend upon one litter of pigs a year, with about seven or eight pigs to the litter. Hogs King of Meat Animals. All domestic animals are important, but the hog is the most Important animal in the present emergency. The cow generally gives us one calf; the sheep generally gives ns one ewe ; but the sow gives us a litter. Jordan, in "The Feeding of Animals," proves that the hog will make more than five times the real food value that a steer or a sheep can make from the same amount of grain feed. For the transportation of fresh meats special cars are necessary. For th transportation of hams and bacon and lard ordinary cars and ships are satisfactory. Hog meat can be shipped economically to the uttermost ends of the world. You do not have to can bacon and hams to get them to the soldiers in the trenches. . The emergency is right now. We have to do what we can the quickest and the best way. It is pot a question of profit; there Is profit In all food and feedstuff. A farmer can raise 1,000 pounds of pork while he is raising 400 pounds of beef or mutton. i Tue hog Is raised universally, and the number of hogs we can raise and fatten depends entirely upon the amount of feed we can produce. Farmers have taken a contract to produce the largest amount of meat In the shortest possible time and that points directly to the hog. If you raise more pork than you did before, you deserve well of your country, even If you cure it and eat it on your own farm, thus making It unnecessary for you to buy on tht market meat that othr frnvr nve nisetL - . ...

restaurant where had so often dined together. And yet in some way I felt that things were not the same as they used to be. Jack was the same kindly brother I had always known, and yet there seemed in his manner a tinge of something different.' I did not know what I only knew that I felt very nervous and unstrung. "Are you sure you feel perfectly well, Margaret?" Jack asked solicitously as we turned the corner from which we could plainly see the entrance to Broquin's, with its boxes of evergreens bidding defiance to the cold outside. "Yes, indeed; why?" I lifted my eyes to his for the first time since 1 had first greeted him.
