AUsTRIA's GREAT NAVY

A weak wing, hear you say. Aus
tria has no navy. There, my friends.
you are mistaken. Because Austria
has not been a sea-power in the past
is no sign that she is not going to be
one in the future. You are not aware
that within two years Austria will
have available thirteen of the most
powerful battleships in the world?
And do you appreciate that these thir-
teen battleships will be at the service
of Germany? And do you appreciate
what such an Austrian fleet can do in
the Mediterranean, with no force to
hold it in check? 1t would have Nal
Ia, Cyprus and Egypt at it's mercy.
Austria would not find the slightest
difficulty in dispatching an expedition
airy force to any Of these points, and
once in control of Egypt and dominat-
ing the Suez Canal she could dispatch
her smaller ships to attack commerce,
proceeding by the cape route to In
dia. Thus it is clear that in case of
war a powerful British fleet must be
stationed in the Mediterranean, unless
the British people are prepared to see
their commerce destroyed, their COM
munications with the east interrupt
ed, their fortresses in the Mediterran-
can one by one attacked and captur
ed. and staggering blows struck in
every quarter against their empire.
With a navy sufficient in the Mediter-
ranean in the near future, Austria may
reasonably entertain daring ambi-

Oh the answer at it is taking shape in
simple-create in the whole south a
greater self-knowledge and thus bring
into every business an immutable con-
Eoence regarding the possibilities of
Ihe tuture-make the south known
truthfully-bring the south into its
rightful place in the nations com
merce and development.
Now comes the second meeting of
the Southern Commercial Congress.
we come in no beseeching tone to
you as controller of opinion. We
come TO you to remind you that your
very business growth depends upon
the right answer to the problem of
the sOuth's empty acres and unused
opportunities. The stake involved is
the greatest in the commercial his
tory of the United States-a south
ward rush of Development before
1915-a condition of preparedness for
the opportunities that rest under the
influence Of the Panama Canal in pro-
ducing a southwark swing of COM
merce-the emergence of the south
from its eclipse and its strong voice
heard again in national problems of
development.
We shall have a good program in
December, but that is a mere nothing
compared with the contract of ear
nest men with earnest men for a pa
triOtic purpose. Therefore, we believe
your own interests will be ultimately
served if without reminder or request
from us you fling open your editorial
columns to steadily urge your think
ing men TO come to Washington to
meet other thinkers in order that all
may think and act effectively for the
whole south. The sessions are open
to all, for the expenses of the meet
ing are being met by $50 cOntribu-
tons from commercial organizations.
Come yourself! Come and see that
no man in this movement is seeking
personal glory or profit. Come and
see that no man in 1t is q knOw-it-alL
Come and strike Lands with business
men just as busy as yourself, but
ready to give time to plan and work
for a greater nation through a great

SEPARATE THE YOUNG STOCK
Old Hens Interfere with the Proper
Development Of the Young
Pullets.

Do not put the young stock In with
the old The old hens will use force
and keep the pullets waiting to eat,
and away from choice bits; the pullets
get into a nervous way of eating what
is left, and can't thrive, and old hens
can spend energy on better things.
Fowls should be nervous enough to
want exercise, but fear gets them over
nervous. Fear should be banished
from the runs. The colonies should
be made up as soon as one can judge
Of fowls merits, as young chicks
rarely quarrel, and after being made
up, il one fowl is chased at eating
time, and not allowed choice, 1t is
because she is a weaker bird. She
should be taken out for run of weak
er birds. If an old hen gets sick, the
other hens pick her feathers and drive
her; she will get strong much faster
by being taken out by herself When
she goes back, she will be tackled, and
a fight must ensue, by which she can
show valor. 1t is hens nature to
tudy precedence and fight for it, and
fighting is against eggmaking.
Fowls, of equal attainments should
be put In the same colonies early as
possible, and peace will reign and
make for eggs. With the ounce of pre-
vention always at hand, the runs and
pens being kept always clean,
and the young chicks properly fed,
there need be no sick fowls for hos
pitfalls. The young stock needs look
ing after closely. If a fowl does not
respond to the feeding of the average
fowl she is either above or below
average and geenrally below. The
few extra good specimens should go
TO the spring breeding pen, the pull
lets to the oldest sire and the cockerels
to the old hens. The pullets below
average may lay market eggs, and If
kept for that, should be in a pen never
visited by a male. BY so doing, no.
body can breed market eggs from poor
hens. The hens lay just as well with
no sire taking up their attention, and
the eggs keep longer in the market.

Useful House for Fowls.

The house is foored and the colony
houses are built on runners so they
may be easily moved from place to
place. They are shingled on the sides
and roof and contain door and one
window. They should be fitted with
one or two roosts placed six inches
above a roosting platform, which
should be four feet from the floor.
This will bring the fowls above the
level of the opening and out of the
drafts.
In cold climates a muslin curtain
may be provided to pull down in front
of the fowls at night, and If desired,
another curtain to close up the open
ing. The larger size of houses will
accommodate from 80 to so fowls and
the smaller house breeding pen of
10 to 20.

HOUSES UNDER THE GROUND.
OweIlers In the Desert Make Prao-
ticaI Use of Walls Erected by
the Ancient Romans.

Concerning the mysterious under
ground dwellings in the desert back
of Tripoli Hanus Vischer writes In
the Geographical Journal: ION the
northern edge of the mountains the
little land OF Gharian, with its vii
lagos and gardens, stands like an
island among the general destruction.
To this day the old Roman terraces
have withstood the keen wind from
the sea and the winter rains and give
one an idea of the country's former
prosperity. The village Of Gharian
lies among ancient olive groves and
large fruit gardens, built on the old
terraces. Ruined castles look down
from every little hill. old Roman or
earlier towers. The present inhab-
itants live in underground houses.
hewn out of the solid rocks, the
ancient dwellings probably OF some
prehistoric race
"a curious maze of earth mounds,
which rose on either side of the road,
showed the position OF the village.
From one Of these mounds, the rub
bish taken out of the ground when the
house was built, ! looked down into
a square courtyard about thirty feet
below the ground, with walls hewn
perpendicularly out Of the red rock.
Around the walls several doors and
narrow slit windows showed the diff
ferent rooms. The master OF the
house then led us to door which
was built above the ground, like the
entrance to some cellar, and down a
narrow passage or tunnel to the court
yard below. The first apartment we
came to held donkeys and some goats
and was used as a stable.
"The living rooms were all white
washed and, like the courtyard, ex'
.ceedingly clean. 1t looked most pic
turesque-the little house with the
whitewashed arches leading into the
rooms, the red sides of the rock COW
cred partly by a fresh green creeper,
and over it all the square of dark-blue
sky. The inhabitants praise their
houses, for they are cool in summer
and warm in winter, when the cold
northeast wind blows, but they knew
nothing of the original builders"

Look out for the Turkeys.

Those of us who have saved turkey
hens TO raise for this summer must be-
gin to give them a little more care
now than we did in the winter.
In the first place they may be slight
" run down." as we call 1t, and need
a change OF feed, or have an acute
attack of cold, sometimes mistaken for
roup. In this case the affected ones
should be penned in a warm, comfort
able place, and their heads and necks
creased with warm lard and turpen-
tine, care being taken not to have too
much turpentine.
When they are cured and ready TO
turn out they will be real tame, which
is so nice about nesting time If we
go out where they are every day, with
a little corn of any kind of food for
them now, and continue to do so. they
will lay near the house. probably in
the hens nests, or what they like bet.
