I 'S CONDENSED | United States Arigible C-5, which escaped from its moorings here this afternoon, dropped into the sea about eighty-five miles off shore, according to radio messages received tonight by the cruiser Chicago from an unidentified British steamship.

Washington, JVIay 15?Victor Berger, of Milwaukee, Socialist Representative-elect, whose conviction for violating the espionage law is on appeal from the trial court, said today he would fight to obtain his seat as a member of the House, and if defeated in his attempt, he would seek re-election at the special election which would be called to choose his successor.

Republicans in control of the House plan to challenge Mr. Berger's right to a seat when the Wisconsin delegation is presented to the clerk Monday to be sworn into office. Brought Troubles Herself Paris, May 14.?Germany's blockade troubles were primarily brought upon her by herself, writes Maximilian Harden, the German free lance, in the latest number of , his periodical, Die Zukunft. Both Bismarck and Caprivi had predicted such a measure against Ger many if she went to war, the writer points out, but he'argues that it would have been impossible for the blockade .to have been imposed if Germany had not refused at The Hague in 1907 to accept the British proposition tending* to the abolition of the right of capture and that of prohibited zones on the sea. The men who at that time were directing German foreign policy, Herr Harden continues, were convinced that in case of the outbreak ol an Anglo-lierman war the British people, no longer devoted to agriculture, would suffer from famine much before Germany, a country highly developed agriculturally and adjoining Russia, Holland and Denmark. In these circumstances, therefore, in Herr Harden's opinion, the Germans have no right to complain about the blockade imposed' upon them. Woman Suffrage. Washington, May 15.?Prospect of adoption by congress of the Susan B Anthonv woman suffrage resolution was bettered by a receipt of information today that Senator-elect Henry W. Keys of New Hampshire, Republican, would vote for the measure. It was learned that Mr. Keys has sent a telegram to constituents announcing his intention to support the resolution and stating that he regarded New Hampshire as the pivotal State. His predecessor, former Senator Hollis, voted for the measuse in the congress, but his colleague Senator Moses, Republican, voted in opposition. Mrs. Maude Wood Park, chairman of the congressional committee of the National American Suffrage Association, in a statement said the announcement by Senator Keys made a total of 11 out of 13 senators-elect who have declared they wo'jld support the federal suffrage amendm'ent.

Clemson College.?"The market hog that sees his first birthday usually loses money for the owner." This i T-k w Williams ?>lo.icmcut i2> mauc uj xj. ?? . ?? livestock specialist of the Extension Service, in discussing profitable hot ! production in South Carolina. This i means that the hog must go to the j slaughter at eight to ten motnhs oi j age, weighing two hundred pounds. ! This is not an unusual weight for ! hogs at eight months. Recently one I feeder averaged over two hundred on j twelve head at five months. To make i profits from hogs it is necessary to feed heavy at all times. A starving process is a losing one in growing hogs. The hog raiser's problem, therefore, is "How can I make the most hog, in the least time at the lowest cost?" Plenty of feed provided ahead of time is the solution. Pigs farrowed in Jan uary and February should be ready for the October and November markets. Start now and provide the feeds that will be needed this fall. Wa cannot compete with the corn belt farmer raising hogs in a dry lot on corn and purchased supplementary feeds such as shorts and tankage. While these are always necessary to make the best gains, we must use forage crops just as much as possible. With the wide use of forage crops cheaper pork can be produced in South Carolina than in the corn belt. f . Be sure to plant some supplementary feed crop with your corn. Cow peas, soy beans, and velvet beans all furnish good grazing for hogs.. In the falMet the hogs do the'harvesting and you will find but very little wasted. Let tjie hogs you are going to market gather most of the feed; then when it gets so scarce that they must cover a great deal of ground in getting enough to eat. remove them and let sows and smaller pigs finish cleaning up the field. A small patch of sweet potatoes will furnish much succulent feed, which with a grain ration will make very satisfactory gains. ) Every farmer, whether or not he . raise hoics. should have some alfalfa, It pays handsomely where it is grown. Ab a forage crop for hogs it is unexcelled. It is questionable whether it is advisable to plant very many peanuts for hogs this fall, says Mr. Williams While hogs make very cheap and rapid gains on this crop, the carcasses are greatly discriminated against or the market Soft drippy pork is not desirable. Soutl* Carolina is now producing hogs that sell to better advantage than those from other South era States, because these hogs kill j hard as a rule. It is to our advantage t? continue marketing a superior product which sells well toward the top of the market rather than to get a rep! utation for soft hogs and take a cut | in price which is often three or four i cents per pound. Hogs will be marketed this fall in carload lots from practically evencounty. Aim to provide a few surplus? hogs for these shipments to help establish a hog market in this state. Bp ; sure to kill enough 'to assure your Vomo flimniv of meat: then market. | the surplus. In the future of diversified fanning in South Carolina the | hog is one of the most promisyiiii^aej tors. w 1 GREEDY HESTS ARE GOOD i MOTHERS. ..C' j Clemson College.?It is not gener' ally known that the greedy mother j who eats almflst all the food thrown i to the baby chicks is doing her best | to prevent the loss of her brood. Just : before a chick is hatched it absorbs | the greater part of the yolk of the egg. i This yolk will not be digested for ; | week or ten days, and if the chick ir overfed its system becomes clogged I tte yolk decays, and the chick dies. Many persons raising chickens ir brooders make the fatal mistake o* feeding the biddies too much. Tb<j brooder is not a greedy hen and it | cannot eat the food and thereby pre I vent the chicks obtaining more thar I they should have to eat Place the brooder on sharp sana have the temperature one hundred degrees when the chicks are removed from the incubator, and do not feed the chicks the first day. Give their buttermilk or sour milk; otherwise fresh water. A tomato can with r hole punched near the open enC should be filled with liquid and in I verted over a saucer to prevent thp I chicks from becoming wet. I On the second and third days ?oat I ter a little rolled oats on the san<? j floor four or five times daily. On thr I fourth day begin alternating rolled oats with some coarse hominy or com mercial chick feed. The latter if preferable because it contains alsr millet seed and cracked wheat. Scat I ter these on the fine litter to make I Mia chirks exercise. On the fifth day provide a dry masb of equal parts hominy, wheat shorts rolled oats, (or ground oats with thr hull? removed), wheat bran, sifter1 beef scraps, and bright yellow cottonseed meal. Keep this dry mash be for? the chicks constantly. Jf these suggestions are followed the baby chicks are likely to pass through the critical period witboul any miahip. The South's greatest need for toot is for soil food.
