Animal Food for Poultry.

Bones and meat secured from the
butcher and cut into fine pieces by
means of bone cutter are perhaps
the best substitute for the insects
hen finds when on free range. Horse
meat, being free from tuberculosis, is
probably slightly preferable to that
from the butchers stalls. Skim milk
is a good substitute for meat, but be-
ing so bulky the fowls rarely eat
enough of it to supply the required
nutriment unless it is soured TO a
clabber and whey drawn off. Dried
beef scrap is product OF the pack
ing houses and if of assured quality
makes fair substitute for fresh meat
1t should be fed in hoppers and should
constitute about or 10 per cent OF
the grain ration.

by a person at a public house close by,
who gave him the coin to pay for It,
and that on discovering 1t was not
good he bought the coin for three half

held by military men that the strict
censorship which the government was
enabled to exercise contributed largely
to Japanese success in the struggle
with Russia, as by it the enemy and
the world at large were shrewdly de-
ceived as to Japanese plans, losses in
battle, and resources. The vital fea-
ture of the Japanese system was to
compel the press to tell deliberate false
hoods whenever it seemed necessary
to conceal the real facts. We are told
by the purist and strict constructions
lists that such system would not do
at all for the United States. In the
first place, such censorship wouldn't
be constitutional; that whatever cen.
sorship might be attempted outside OF
the military areas would be subject
to the civil law, and that it would be
wicked to make the newspapers tell
lies, even to deceive the enemy. This
may be admitted as a general propo-
sition, yet if the country were engaged
in life and death struggle the strict
constructionists might have another
thought coming. Deceptions, strata
gems, are considered fair in war. A
man of integrity in civil life, drafted
into the army, might be compelled by
the exigencies of his situation to draw
the enemy into an ambush; to lure
him by false appearances and signals
to pretend that he had a thousand mer

powerful individuality turned his last
thoughts toward Italy, and today it is
those among her sons who are united
to him by the brotherhood of art who
offer this tribute to man who has
so highly contributed to show to man.

The memorial has been placed on
the wall at the head of the grani

gathered many people well known in
the dramatic world.
"You English artists" said the am
bassador in the course of his speech,
"have greatly assisted me in my study
of the English language. Frequentins
the theaters and seeing your acting
I have learned more of the English
character, life, feelings and mode Of
thought than in reading many learned
books-which l have tried to forget
as much as possible"
"The English artists have given elo-
uuent proofs of their sympathy with
Italy by the homage they have paid to
Salyini. the magnificent benefit to the
memory of Ristori, and the part they
have always taken In our cnarltaDie
works. When Italy was still divided,
when its independence and unity
were still a goal and an ideal, and to
many people even dream and Uto'

I the forces which contributed to our

at the same time fought in defense oil

was raised during an interval. He

without this no hog can make a good
