The report Is vague In the extreme, but whether or not true, It suggests various exciting possibilities In the future. Piracy and smuggling by air plune a it possibilities not to be overn j looked. Of cpurse, while all Europe l? nt HI armed, and the German anuy ' resembles a pack of wolves without a I pack leader, nothing could be easier I than for some German airmen .who disapprove of the ex-crown prince's conduct In general and are resolved I that iio counter-revolution shall ever i make him emperor, to paint out the i national marks on their machines, fly j high above the clouds Into Holland, dive upon Ills residence and release their bombs. In any force still retain ing its discipline and the discipline "f j active service at that, such action would be wildly Impossible, In- times of pcace such raids would be less easy. All airdromes and their alrplnnes will of course be registered; the movements of aircraft will be even more strictly under observation than those of seagoing' ships, for the simple reason that their periods of absence from terra ftrma are necessarily much briefer. Moreover, air pirates could never stop a commercial airplane and call ' on It to "stand and deliver." They could never get away with booty, tftul 1 therefore their operations could only , be destructive and not profitable. 1 But one must, not overlook the pos sibility that a power as evil disposed ' -and reckless as Germany was la 1914 lul^ht suddenly begin a systematic at tack on all the aircraft of a rival. The experiences of the past warn us to be | cautious In the fnture. It will be the task of the royal air forcas,to. guard the* air merchantmen f of Britain. For years their work may ' be as bloodless as was the' work of the navy from Navarlno to 1914, but the navy was needed at last, and* It i would be very rash to declare that the royal air force will never again send a foe down In flames.

Naturally, 1 suppose, when I first went out In "civ vie#" I had the In grained Inclination to salute all su perior officers I met and l<? prepare to take edlutea from (he iranlta, It took me the best l>art of a day to Overcome this Impulse. The "air" habit wuh very strong, too. On u?y first morning as a civilian I hud to see a colonel at the war office on business? business in which our staudlrw jprfs at least ^qual ? and 1 Iramcd&f&y "sirred" him, of course. Force of liablt, pure and simple. Again there is the matter of running after an omnibus or across the road? In uniform pine tries to make a point of not doing these things. Now, how ever, when "example" has not longer to be considered, I find It practically Impossible to chase ah omnibus or' flee from nn oncoming taxlcab. The instinct Is against doing so. Apparently It is Just as necessary to reiearn how to be a civilian as it once was to learn how to be a sohller. SKILLFUL PIECE OF WORK Novel Fe&t of Engineering Recently Put to the Credit of Amerloan Bridge Builders. Not long ago It was discovered that Hie piers of the combined highway and railroad bridge a cross the M1sh< hi H river at at Joseph, Mo., were In bad condition and it Would be necessary to build new piers. At tirst.it was proposed to build the new piers on the downstream side of the old bridge and shift the bridge laterally to ibe new position, In this way maintaining t rafllc over the old bridge while t lie new construction was going on. Hut the war department required ^the in stallation of a larger draw-span .In the bridge and so It was decided to build the new piers between the old plors! After they were completed, the- fU<-d spans of the bridge* were moved shore ward 'endwise, so that they rested on the new piers. A temporary span was constructed, to fill the gap thus oc casioned, so that frnflic was closed over the bridge for less than ten hours. Then work was^hegun upon the new swing span, which was built as a canti lever In open position. "To permit of this, a portion of the old swing-span had to be cut away and a temporary lift-span was put In to feke care of river traffic. _ Thus the bridge was re constructed . without changing its alignment. ?

"The market bos that goes hf? first birthday usually lose* in mey for the owner." This statement in made by P, W. WilUama. livestock specialist of the Extension Service, In discussing profitable bo* production in South Carolina. This means that the hog must go to the slaughter at eight to ten motnhs of age, weighing two hundred pound*. This li not an unusual weight for )u>ks at eight months. Recently one feeder averaged over two buhdre<l~on twelve head at five months. To make profit# from bogs 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 tAoet bog, tn the least time at the lowest, cost t" 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 mar* kets. Start now and provide the feeda that will be needed this fall. We can not compete with the corn belt farmer raising hogs in a dry lot on corn and purchased supplementary feeds such as aborts and tankage. While th^se 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. Be sure to plant some supplement ary feed crop with your (Jorn. Cow peas, soy beans, and velvet beans all iFi^rnlsh good grazing for ho^s. In the fall let the hogs do the haryest ing and you will, find but very little wasted. Let the hogs you are going tp market gather most of the feed; then when it gets so scarce that they must cover^ft great deal of ground in getting enough to eat, remove them and let sows aiid smaller pigs finish cleaning up the field. A small patch of sweet potatoes Will furnish much succulent feed, whieli with a grain ration will make very satisfactory gains, Every farmer, whether or not he raise hogs, should have some alfalfa. It pays handsomely where it is grown. As a forage cfrop for hogs Its is unexcelled. It is questionable whether it is ad visable to plant very many peanuts for hogs this fall, says Mr. Williams. Whilo hogs make very cheap, and rapid gains on this crop, the carcasses Are greatly discriminated against on the market. Soft drippy pork is not desirable. South Carolina is now producing hogs that sell to better ad vantage than those from other South ern States, because these hogs kill hard as a rule. It is to our advantage to continue marketing a superior prod uct 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 cents per pound. IJogs will be marketed this fall In carload lota from practically every county. Aim to provide a few surplus hogs for these shipments to help es-. tablish a hog market in this state. Be sure to kill enough to assure your home supply of meat; then market the surplus. In the future of diversi fied farming in South Carolina the hog is one of the moat promising fac tors. GREEDY HENS ARE GOOD MOTHERS. Clemson College. ? It is not giner aHy known that the greedy mother who eats almost all the food thrown 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. This yolk will not be digested for a week or ten days, and if the chick is overfed its system becomes clogged, the yolk decays, and the chick dies. Many persons raising chickens in brooders make the fatal mistake of feeding the biddies too much. The brooder is not a greedy hen and it the food and thereby pre vent the chicks obtaining more than they should have to eat. Place the brooder on sharp sand, have the temperature one hundred degrees when the chicks are removed from the incubator, and do not feed the chicks the first day. Oive them buttermilk or sour milk; otherwise fresh water. A tomato can with a hole punched near the open end should be filled with liquid and In verted over a saucer to prevent the chicks from becoming wet. On the second and third days scat ter a little rolled oats on the sand floor four or five times daily. On the fourth day begin alternating rolled oats with some coarse hominy or com mercial chick feed. The . latter is preferable because it cantatas also millet seed and cracked wheat Scat ter_these on the fine litter to make the chicks At excise. * ' On the fifth day provide a dry of equal parts hominy. wheaUafc^fta, rolled oats, (or ground oat* with the hulls removed), wheat bran, a i fled beef scraps, and bright yellow cotton seed meal. Keep this dry mash be fore the chicks constantly. If theee suggestions are followed, the hahy chlcka are likely to p aai through the critical period without any mishap. -F .
