In order to keep fowls healthy during
the winter months, also to promote egg
production, green food must be prOvid-
ed. Small potatoes. turnips inferior
cabbages-ln fact, vegetables of any
and all kinds not quite good enough for
table use-wll prove excellent food for
the fowls in winter Glover, If it can
be obtained, is an ideal green food for
winter. In order to do their best fowls
must have variety as well as an
abundance of food.

Geese are most valuable in Kidding
the ground of grass. This is undoubt-
edly true, for they are great grazers
and will gain their own living almost
entirely off heritage if it is in strong,
rich growth and in quantities sufficient
to satisfy them. Geese viii do remark
ably well on spot of rough wooded
ground that has pond thereon. In
such locality they will thrive from
early spring until winter approaches.

structions given to the British dele
gates to The Hague peace conference,
the efforts of members of parliament to
draw out oFreign Secretary Gray hay
ing failed in every instance.
The liberal government, since com
ing into Office has maintained policy
of silence on all big questions, this be-
ing necessary on account of the wide
differences of opinion among the rank
and file, particularly on such subjects
as discussing the question of the lin
itation of armament, the inViolability
of private property at sea, contraband
of war, etc.
1t Is understood, however, that as a
result of the negotiations Ambassador
Whltelaw Reid and Joseph II. Choate
have been carrying on the United
States and Great Britain have agreed to
act in accord on certain questions to
be brought up.
Mr.. ChOate had conference recently
with Foreign Secretary Gray, when the
American delegate to The Hague peace
conference was formally introduced to
the representatives of Great Britain
with whom Mr.. Choate will leave for
The Hague.
