POWERS TO JOIN IN
A NOTE ON NEUTRALITY

Berlin. April 23.-There has been a
lively exchange of notes In regard to the
proposed concerted action upon the part
of some OF the Powers for the protection
of neutral flags. 1t Is understood that
Germany, France, Austria ana Italy have
about agreed to send a strong note to
both United States and Spain warning
them to exercise the greatest caution in
deaifnR with neutral shipping. adaiBg
that. otherwise, full reparation will be
insisted upon. The powers also intend
to send vessels to the seat Of war, to OBJ
serve the naval and ether operations.
Germany will probably send the Koenig
Wilhelm. Great Britain and Russia are
still hanging back. The German govern
ment is strongly incensed at the sale Of
the HAmburg-Amerioan liners Normani la
and Columb bia to Spanish oompany as
the vessels we're auxiliary cruisers, and
therefore. the consent or the government
Of Germany, which was not obtained was
necessary for the sale.

To get the sights accurate. rest the ends

All kinds of poultry have very strong
digestive organs. provided they have
the gravel with which to fill their giz-
yards and have enough exercise to keep
in vigorous health. They are positively
injured by having the bulk of their
food ground. moistened or cooked SO
as to make its digestion easier. Young
chicks are most apt to be injured in
this way. the popular idea being that
as they are very small their gizzards
cannot digest hard substances. We al
ways began feeding young chicks with
cracked wheat. giving in addition some
milk curd pressed hard. which is quite
as difficult of digestion as the wheat.
They will not eat much wheat at first.
and it is best they should not. Little
and often should be the rule with all
young animals, chicks included.

SCIENCE IN FARMING.
The Thrifty Farmer of the Future
Must BE n Student.

Must BE n Student.
The following is an editorial which
appeared in the Chicago Record. 1t
shows that the press of the country is
awaking to the new forward and up
ward movement in agriculture:
Secretary Wilson. of the department
of agriculture. in his address at Tuske-
gee. Ala. did well when he laid stress
upon the increased opportunities
which will open to the farmer when he
takes the pains to devote himself more
thoroughly to n scientific study of the
ways and means of increasing his crops
and making the most of his advantages.
Two things have hampered the develop
lnent of the American farmer material
ly-they are failure to profit by the
information gained by science as to
economical production, and, second. the
failure to study the agricultural mar
ket.
I'm neither of these particulars has
the farmer himself been to blame. He
has done the best possible with the
means at hand. Now, however, that the
virgin fields in many states are losing
some of their native fertility the need
becomes more and more pressing for in
telligent and systematic methods. AS
Secretary Wilson points out. great
deal is to be gained simply from study
of soils and soil conditions. Certain
lands may be made to yield rich profit
in one product, while the same lands
would be i'll adapted to another Scien-
tific investigation is now determining
what characteristics of soils make them
better for one crop than for another.
1.-THE day of haphazard. try-it-for-luck
farming has disappeared. and the sue
cessful agriculturist of the future will
be the man who studies his fields the
most carefully and orders everything in
accordance with the principle of econ
omy-the maximum of result with the
minimum of expenditure. The Ameri'
can farmer no doubt has been years
| ahead of his European rival in adopting
advanced methods, but he still has far to
| go. The man who makes a success OF
farming in the coming century will be
he who devotes to his business the same
method and judgment which business
OF professional men apply in developing
| their own best interests"
