Tiesday's Election.
The fine weather coupled with
a vigorous) fight for the office of
Associate Judge, caused an un
usually large vote to be polled
for an off-year. About three
out of every four voters in the
county were at the polls and the
total number of votes cast was
less than a hundred fewer than
the vote cast at the Governor's
election in 1914.
A glance at the table will give
you the vote of each candidate.
Rations for Farm Animals.
At this season of the year
farm animals are likely to be ne
glected because farmers make
the mistake of trying to keep
them on pasture as long as pos
sible. At the first sign of loss of
weight, or if the pasture is poor
some feed shoulcTbe given. Pas
ture will be worth more in the
spring when feed is likely to be
higher and livestock can be main
tained in better condition and
probably cheaper through the
winter.
No particular action says F. L.
Bentley of the animal husbandry
department of the Pennsylvania
State College, can be proposed
or general use, because of vary
ing conditions, but a few sug
gestions are offered.
For horses In general, two
pounds of feed per day per 100
pounds liveweight For a horse
doing no work, all the hay it will
eat and sufficient grain to keep
it in good condition. For a horse
doing average work, one to one
and one-half pounds grain and
one to one and one-fourth pounds
hay per day per 100 pounds live-
weight For a colt at weaning,
two quarts oats per day and all
the hay it will eat
For beef cattle In general,
two and one-half pounds feed
per 100 pounds liveweight For
maintenance, all the roughage
they will eat, a portion of which
is clover or alfalfa hay. In the
absence of clover hay, a small
amount of cottonseed meal or
inseed meal, one to one and one-
ourth pounds per 1000 pounds
iveweight
For hogs In general, three to
five pounds concentrates per 100
pounds liveweight, with larger
rations for younger and smaller
rations for older hogs. For fat
tening, four to five pounds con
centrates daily per 100 pounds
veweight.
For sheep For fattening
ambs on full feed one-pound
concentrates and one and one-
half pounds roughage per day.
'or pregnant ewes, all the
roughage they will eat up to
within a few weeks of lambing,
hen, one, one-half to the pound
concentrates per day.
Card of Thanks.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mason of
Thompson township desire in this
manner to express their deep
gratitude to the friends and
neighbors who were so kind and
good during the illness and death
of their little son.
After the War.
What is going to happen "after
the war" will discount all the
stories you ever heard of "befo
de wah." No matter which side
wins, this country will by no
means be the same as it was
three years ago. We decline to
attempt a picture of what life will
be like if the Germans win it's
too frightful.
But we intend to win, and on
this supposition we should begin
right now to lay our minds open
to the reception of facts as they
appear out of the great mass of
new conditions created by the
world-war. We shall speak only
of the agriculturist. Years of
shortsighted policies have left
us (as a nation) far in the rear
of scientific farming. We are
a great food producing country
only by reason of our unlimited
acreage and rich soil. But mea
sured by scientific standards we
fall far short. We are also a
nation of prodigals, annually
wasting enough to keep a small
nation like Belgium in food. We
expect the war to change all this,
The call for us to feed our allies
will eventually cause a pinch at
all . . .
our own taDies mat win teacn a
wholesome lesson. The frenzied
efforts now being made to make
our soils produce more will result
in the adoption of new ideas and
the stupid among us will "get
run over" by the wheels of Pro
gress if we do not now wake up
to our opportunities. What do
you intend to read this winter to
help prepare yourself for the
changes that are coming? After
all these years of use. can you
interpret the printed analysis on
a -bag of fertilizer? The old
fashioned way of waiting to learn
irom the other ieilow will be no
good. Plan at once for a supply
of suitable reading matter.

1 be devil got into some of the
would-be "gentlemen" In this
section on Wednesday night of
last weed, and such a lot of
deviltry and crima was perpe
trated as to astonish and terrorize
the peaceable inhabitant-' ot the
entire ccmuiunity. They plotted
and gathered up under cover of
darkuQ8s to trespass upon the
private property of a number of
our industrious and peaceful
citizens and tarma; they pulled
down lartn and yard fences and
gates, entered buildings, built
fences across the main public
highways thereby obstructing
tiaveland endangering human
lives; took State Automobile
tires, wagons, and other utensils
and cast them into streams, pre
cipitous and bidden places, and
even committed the treasonable
crime of desecrating the Uuited
States flig especially a tine one
that an old peaceable veteran of
the Civil War had erected at his
residence; they built tires where
the fallen leaves lay thick thus
endangering private property
and forests. These plotters and
malicious mi -chief makers are
known and arrests and proper
punishment are likely soon to
follow. The time has come
when law abiding citizens will
not stand i'-jr such malicious and
high bandot tutlawry.
