Bergsant Lesquern and Private fMtvooque, who, becoming separated friua their units after the battle at Charleroi, remained in hiding for Bare than four years to German oc cupied territory are told In the French newspaper La Victoria.

Their dwelling was a dug out, ao concealed that it was never dis covered. although the forest, which harbors wild boar and other game, wag a favorite hunting ground for German officers. The French strag gloca lived on wild animals, hare and other game. They made one attempt to escape In 1915, but on the Dutch frontier they were shot at by the Ger man sentries and the sergeant was wounded, so the two of them return ed to their forest. The severe winter of 1916 brought them terrible suffer ings. They were snowed in and si moot starved. They owe their lives to aa old Belgian poacher and smug gler, who throughout all the years of their adventures, helped them with provisions.

PRESERVE OLD TULIP TREE Mawhrtt—sss Value Rslic Which Is Believed to Have a Great Many Historical Associations. Ob the extreme northern end of Manhattan Island there la a tulip tree which, though It Is said to be 231 years old, and if so may he the oldest tree on the Island, still appears to be In Its prime, and In the early summer is almost entirely covered with foliage. It la situated on the north aide of Inwood hill, toward the Harlem ship canal, which Joins the Hudson. It stands in a clearing surrounded by a picket fence erected In October, 1912. The spot Is historically associated with the Indians. Here In 1000 when Hendrik Hudson landed In the Spuy ten Duyvll Inlet he Is supposed to have met members of the Week-qua s keeks tribe. Large quantities of broken oysf sheila are embedded beneath the top soil, and It fo said the spot was a great baunt of the Indians, who used It as a meeting place. The tree In circumference ia about 19 feet. It Is 123 feet tall. A few rotted cavities have been filled with cement. An Inscription was placed on the tree when the fence was built around it. Plant Freak. Usually the caterpillar eats the plant, but there arrived at London re cently a caterpillar which a plant had eaten. It came from New Zealand. The caterpillar, about two and one half Inches In length, harrowing into the ground, took with It on its head the spore of a parasitical fungus. The latter, germinating, rooted In the body of the caterpillar. From the caterpil lar's head lias grown a fungus plant 5H inches long, with a head like a bulrush. 1H Inches In length. The caterpillar has become wooden. The vegetable growth fills Its skin, which is perfectly preserved. Every segment la plainly marked out and the legs are Intact. Geological Theory. Deep deposits of “muck” now cov ering permanently frozen gravel In the Klondike district are believed by J. B. Tyrrell, a Canadian geologist, to,have begun to accumulate at the very dawn of the glacial epoch, when the rivers ceased their deposition of gravel, the conditions still existing be ing established. Pools of water form in spring In hollows of the im pervious frozen mass. This has fav ored the growth of bog masses, and the vegetable accumulations have been steadily increased by the forest plants, washed down from the hillsides into tbs flats. A 12-Flngered Pickpocket.

SELF-fEEDJS MEETS FAVOR Whr* Youngsters Haws Access ft* Com. Shorts, Middlings. Eta. They Con Be Weaned Without Male, ing Radical Change In Diet, (Prepend by the United State* Depart ment of Arlculture.) Many farmers ween pigs at six to ■®*b weeks of a***, when the brood aows have a good flow of milk and are capable of maintaining the young In excellent condition and development at leas expense and trouble than the young porkers could otherwise be handled. Their mother's milk la one of the beat feeds available for grow ing pigs, and consequently it should be used to the greatest extent possi ble. When the pigs are from six to seven weeks old the sow should be on full feed, unless fur some extraordin ary reason the pigs should not be weaned until the age of ten weeks, and In such instances It Is preferable to allow them to run with their moth er until they are twelve to fourteen weeks old. Where pigs are weaned too early serious results often attend, as the abrupt change in the character of the ration many times creates seri ous trouble. Self-Fssder Is Useful. Where young pigs have access to corn, shorts, middlings, tankage, or fish meal, served to them cafeteria style In a selMeeder where they can eat It at their pleasure without being disturbed by other bogs, the young sters can be weaned at the age of Pig* Getting Thslr Dinner at a tslf- Feeder. twelve or fourteen weeks without making any very radical changes in their dally meals by simply allowing them to continue on the self-service system. If best results are to be ob tained, the pigs must gain continuous ly and uniformly until they are ready for market. This necessitates an abumlunce of feed as well as access during the grazing season to such val uable forage crops as alfalfa and red clover. In sections where these leguminous feeds cannot be produced, rye, oats, barley, cowpeaa. ra|*e, or any other grain or grass which will pro duce good forage In the locality should be grown for hog pasture. Hogs like to harvest their own feed. In addition to getting the feed In the freshest pos sible condition, the young shoats also derive lieiiefltß from the exercise in rustling a part of their daily diet. Watch Pigs Closely. Every hog raiser la advised to watch the spring pigs closely to see thnt they ■re on their feeA; that is, that the an tmals have good appetites and eat their dally allowances of grain and grass with relish and avidity. If a pig shows Indications of being “off feed** his owner should change the ration, using barley In place of corn snd pro viding as much skim milk or butter milk as Is available. He should also provide an abundance of pure, fresh water for the pigs as well as plenty of shade during the hot summer months. Freedom from lice means hog com fort. This can be obtained by the plentiful use of crude or black oil upon the animals as well as In their quarters and wallows. Natural shade Is always the best, hut where thja is not obtainable, temporary shelter from the sunny smile of Old Sol may be ob tained by setting some posts to which crosspieces are attached about Sty to 4 feet from the ground so that a tem porary roof of straw or grass may be provided for the protection of the hogs.

ML Clemen a. Mich.— Henry Ford's •ounael kept until tbs Anal day on which testimony was presented, tbs strongest arguments la their |rttv slon. Not until the trial was within a tew hour* of ita does did they bring to the wltnesa stand Clinton C. Do- Witt, superintendent of the Fori Bag Ush school.

Parts are given as follows: “Every good American loves and respects the United States flag. "Our flag stands for liberty.

The Federal and state courts recognise a diploma from the Kqgd English school na an evi dence of adequate preparation for cititenshlp. It waa shown. Through this testimony counsel sought to bring out that ths man who taught 8,000 foreigners to love their adopted country and to respect its flag could scarcely be called an anarchist and that a man who sought every possible method to instill levs for the Stars and Stripes In ths hearts of those who come to it from foreign shores, could never have made the slanderous statements at tributed to him by Trtbuno counsel. Mr. Ford. It was shown, loaned all bis educational workers to tha gov ernment at the time war broka oat Tim war department found tbs math ods used In tbn Ford English school so valuable that they introduced them In all training camps. Henry Ford paid the salaries of the men he loaned to the government for the work. Closing Arguments Open. Closing arguments in the ease opened the last of the week. Attorney Wm. Lucking led off fur Ford counsel. He called attention first to the test! mon y which showed that The Tribune, hot for intervention In Mexico bo Ci-u. 4 it thought such action would b-ad to conquest or at least to groat riches for the United States, had found Henry Ford blocking its path Just when its lung campaign gavs promise of bearing fruit. Thereupon, said the attorney. The Tribune set out io destroy Mr. Ford's Influence, to sweep him out -of its path and to still his voice which pleaded for a course which would help the bleeding ropab tic to the south to regain her feat and to strike forth on a new highroad ai education and freedom. Attorney Weymouth Kirkland open ed for The Tribune. He declared that what Mr. Ford bad dune since Mil— when The Tribune called him an anarchist— had nothing whatever to do with the situation aa It was when the newspaper stigmatised the manu facturer aa an enemy of his country, He did not deny that Mr. Ford had done an Immense and valuable work for the government during the war but he claimed that this did not altar tha (acts aa they were before war broke out. Mr. Ford, the attorney insisted, was an anarchist at the time The Tribune described him as such, and the truth be said was sufficient justlfl cation for the attack. Water and the Human Body.
