Like tl.8 drive on Paris in
Teutons invading Rumania are con-
verging rapidly on the capital of that
nation. Bucharest. And, unlike their
experience in France, their present
drive promises to be entirely success-
ful. The menace to Rumania was
greatly increased, when it was report-
ed that Field Marshal Von Mackensen
had thrown his forces across the
Danube river, south or southeast of
Bucharest.

The pause in the heavy operations
on the western front, reported during
the last three days, is interpreted as
meaning either that tho winter quiet
period has set in, or merely a brief
delay for tho Entente to gather breath
for the renewal of the offensive.

have captured the town of Craiova,
®nd the Rumanians who are retreating
down the Jiul Valley and at other
points from the Transylvanian Alps
region apparently are in danger of
being cilt off, according to a Berlin
statement. Craiova is an important
town in the center of a great agricul
tural district on the edge of the Walla-
chian plain and is an important rail-
way junction. Its possession by the
Central Powers cuts the railway com-

Coat Models That Were Shown Early in the Season Retain Their
Popularity, and There Is Little or No Indication of Changes—

The story of conts for this season
has reached its closing chapter with
the presentation of styles for midwin-
ter and styles for driving. The drift
of popular approval was too definite
early in the season to eneourage any
radical new departures. Early models
showed a beautiful adaptation of de-
sign to materials and were so excellent
that they could hardly be Improved
upon, and there are no distinctly dif-
ferent lines or detnlls of construction
In the latest arrivals.

HANDSOME COAT OF FUR-FABRIC.
,ng lines, ample width, and muffler
collars continue to be featured. Wool
velour, tweeds, bolivia cloth, plush and
fur fabrics are fur-trimmed and made
np on the same lines as all-fur coats.
Where fur Is used on cloth garments
it often appears in an all-fur collar
with bands of fur to match bordering
cuffs of the muterial. Plain plush and
fur-fabrics make the warmest of
wraps, excepting those that are made
entirely of fur, and are of all things
most serviceable for midwinter wear.
The coat of fur-fabric pictured here
may be taken ns representative of the
styles that stnnd approved. It is
handsomely trimmed \^h genuine fur

—silhouettes of small animals and
birds, outline pictures drawn with
needlework in colored yarns, garden
and Held flowers, embroidered In prime
order—all presage a new season of dis-
tinctly childish millinery for little
ones.
These trimmings are simply made,
as the lints in the picture demonstrate.
In one of them n band of black vel-
vet ribbon is drawn about a light felt
shape and serves ns a background for

URGE CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING OF HOGS**]
PROPER MANAGEMENT OF BROOD SOW IMPORTANT.
“Hogs are high at the packing house centers. No purtlculnr breed, or mixed
breed, is necessary to get high prices. Nor Is it necessary for an entire cur to
\bo all of one gnule in order to make shipments to these big markets. Car lota
are necessary, however, and It takes from 100 to 150 hogs to till a car."
Tills Is taken from a recent statement of J. F. McKay, marketing specialist
of the Mississippi A. and M. college, who points out that co-operative marketing
of hogs lots already proved successful among tho farmers of Mississippi. Mr.
McKay Is making the following proposition to farmers who have hogs to sell:
“Where a community of farmers have as many as a car of hogs (hut can lie
kept growing and will agree to food for shipment for some stated time late in
summer or fall, we will furnish detuils on preparation, assembling, and ship-
ping, ami will aid In starting the first shipments. We will also meet with
farmers in such communities, and assist them in getting together the farmers
us far ns our time will permit and where leadership can he had.
“We cannot expect these prices to lust, but the markets promise to tie
good for some time to come, as hog products are high and in demand.”

No Better Crop for Live Stock
Feeding Purposes.
Value of Hay In Fattening Hogs Is
Becoming Better Known—Goober
Offers Unusually Cheap Way
of Producing Pork.
Not so many years ago peanuts were
given little serious consideration ns a
field crop. The acreage In those com-
munities, where they liuve been grown
uud fed to live stock. Is increasing
every year. It Is doubtful If there Is
h better crop for feeding purposes
than peanuts In those regions where
they can be successfully grown, writes
C. B. McAfee of Oklahoma in Farm
progress.
They are one of the most palatable
of feeds. With the cotton acreage un-
dergoing a reduction and live stock
taking its place to some degree in
ninny sections, the funner who is look-
ing for a good feed should not over-
look the once humble peanut. For
some years farmers have been using
^peanuts in fattening hogs and ihe
value of the hay is becoming better
known and more of it Is grown. In
the feeding of hogs, peanuts are par-
ticularly valuable.
The prize hog at the big Texas In-
dustrial congress was fattened at a
cost of about $4.50 per hundred weight.
Some years ago one of the southern ex-
periment stations found that peanuts
would produce a high grade of pork at
the cost of about $3 a hundred pounds.
Doubtless this latter figure Would huve
to be revised somewhat now, but un-
doubtedly the peanut still offers an un-
usually cheap way of making work.
Some time ago one of the experiment
stations conducted a careful experi-
ment in the production of pork from
peanuts and found thut an ucre of the
“goobers” would produce anywhere
from 400 to 800 pounds of hog meat
Hog Them Off.
This offers a better comparison of
relative feeding values than does the
$2 per linndred weight figure. All that
is necessary to do is to plant and cul-
tivate the peanuts. The hogs will do
the rest of the work. They will har-
vest them and do it cheaper and more
effectually than it can be done by any
other method, especially If the crop
is to be fed with the idea of producing
meat. Where wet weuther comes
along In the fall and prevents the pea-
nut grower from harvesting the crop
1n the usual manner, he is a lucky man
if he has hogs enough to turn in und
glean the crop.
Peanut hay has about the feeding
value of that grown from red clover
when the peanuts are cut at the right
period and cured in the proper man-
ner. By mowing the peanuts und turn-
ing in the hogs us soon as the buy is
out of the way nothing of the crop
will be lost. The bunch varieties of
ihe peanuts are more satisfactory
where It is intended to make hay of
them. They will stand up better for
the cutting, and it is often the case
that a ton or more of hay to the acre
can be iuved. Then turn the hogs in
und let them do the rest.
Where the hogs are to be finished In
corn after they have cleaned up the
peanut crop it will be a good plan to
feed them some corn while they are
running in the peanut field. Fed with
the peanuts the corn will have a very
high feeding value, and you can al-
most see the fat gathering on the aui-
muls. It is always better to start feed-
ing the corn, in any event, some two
or three weeks before they are taken
off the peanuts. As a ration for hogs
peanuts have the following strong
points: There is no harvesting ex-
pense. the manure Is left on the land,
the Innd is enriched by the nitrogen
gatliered by the plant roots, and last,
but by no means least, you g£t a cheap-
ly produced lot pf pork. • .

ERADICATE WEEVILS IN PEAS
Treatment of Carbon-Bisulphide I*
Recommended as Soon as Crop
Has Been Harvested.
All cowpeas are more or less liable
to be Infested with weevils when
harvested; therefore, It Is udvlsable
to fumigate them soon after har-
vesting. The best material to fumi-
gate with is carbon-bisulphide, some-
times culled “high-life." The pea*
to be fumigated should be placed in
u tight bin or barrel so that the fume#
will be more effective. The carbon-
bisulphide should be placed In shallow
dishes oa top of the peas. One ouuca
of the carbon-bisulphide is sufficient
to fumigate u barrel of peas; three to
five pounds are required for every
thousand feet of a tight bin, and rnora
Is required if the bin is not gas-proof.
Fumigation should be continued for
12 hours, after which the peas should
be uired for several hours. The peas
should be stored so that they will not
become reiufested with weevils. This
fumigation kills all stages of weevil
development, but does not prevent tbe
weevils from working in the peas later.
Use the same precautions in handling
carbon-bisulphide thut you would use
in handling gasoline. Keep all sources
of fire a good distance away.—Clemsou
