BEST BREEDS FOR HAPPENING
Several Breeds Give Good Results, Such as Wyandottes, Plymouth
 Rocks and Rhode Island Reds.

All varieties and types of chickens are fattened in this country, no spe- cial attention being devoted to devel- oping strains or special types pecu- liarly adapted to produce high quail ity of flesh or to give especially good results in fattening Several breeds give good results in fattening, and these are preferred by men who make a speciality of feeding poultry in the following order: Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, or. taken as whole, birds of the general purpose breeds. The feeders discour- age the use of birds of the Mediter- ranean class, such as the Brown and White Leghorns and the Minorcas, be- cause these birds average poorer re suits throughout the season in the feeding tests and they mature light. while the trade demands a heavy fowl. In order to make the farmer raise chickens of the first rather than of the second class mentioned, the packer. and consequently the smaller poultry buyer, often pays from 1 to 3 cents a pound less for lightweight hens.
 More attention should be paid to buying poultry on a quality basis. thus showing the producer the gain which he may realize by keeping good poultry of the general-purpose breeds and giving the birds proper attention and feed before shipping to market. In some sections the packers have ex- changed pure-bred cockereIs of the general-purpose breeds for the mon- grel and lightweight cocks kept by the farmers, thus rapidly improving the quality of stock in the localities where they obtain their supplies. The Orpingtons, various game crosses, and the Dorking make good poultry for fattening, but are not found in any appreciable numbers in the middle west, although the Orpingtons have increased considerably In the last few years.-U. s. Poultry Bulletin.

mind the profoundly complex prob lens connected with the movements of such legions of human engines of war? Would Moltke, the greatest strategist of modern times, if he were alive, be able to handle modern armies of millions with the ease and celerity necessary to success? Are the great armies created by the lead ing countries of Europe really effi- cient instruments of war, or would the complicated machinery break down under the stress of actual hostilities?
 All these questions are occupying the minds of German experts, but only a war can supply conclusive reply to them. There is, however, strong in clination among many competent judges to regard the countless legions of the great powers as inefficient be- cause 1t is thought that they are too big and unwieldy to be handled with facility, and because no human brain can surmount the difficulties of direct ing their movements with precision.
 Problem of Feeding Millions.
 As the great army moved forward something like 5000 field bakeries would have to be constructed for use every day, and as these are under ground and created by excavating earth, extensive areas of country would be honeycombed by these holes, involving both damage to landowners and farmers and danger to all pedes- trians in those regions. Soldiers do not live by bread alone, and the sup ply of other provisions for an army Of 3,000,000 would strain the resources of any commissariat department, even the smartest, to the uttermost. The supply of pure water. too. would pre- sent grave and in dry weather perhaps insuperable difficulties. There also would be tens of thousands of horses to tend and feed, and enormous quan- titles of petrol would be required for the various motor cars needed for mil itary auxiliary services. The ordinary brain reels at the thought of all the intricate machinery that would have to be set in motion and kept in good working order in the event of great modern war.
 Italy has organized the expedition to Tripoli with celerity and efficiency. In the illustration we see herd of bull locks being conducted through the streets of Naples on their way to the landing stage for authorization. Be hind the railings is the arsenal. At the summit of the hill in the back ground may be seen the wall of the castle of St. Elmo and a portion of the monastery of St. Martino.
 Some authorities predict an aban- donment of very great armies based on compulsory military service for every adult male in the country and recourse to smaller armies of trained fighters. The comparatively few pro fessional soldiers would, according to this view, be paid to fight the battles of the nation, as Is the case in Ameri. ca and England.

METHOD OF RAISING COLTS
Expert Describes Excellent Plan He Follows-Good Pasture and Plenty
 of Water Needed.

shall try to describe my method of raising colts. The mares are usual ly worked until time for foaIing. prefer to have this occur about March 1, which can, in a measure, be con trolled by the time of breeding, says writer in an exchange. When the foals are dropped, keep the mares in the barn until the colts are strong enough to follow and partly take care of themselves, after which they are turned into a small pasture of tame grass. Here both the mare and colt are left for about two weeks. Then the mares are fed a little grain and the colts soon begin to make rapid growth. Now I turn them into large pasture through which runs a small stream, and where there are plenty of shade trees. keep them here un- til October. when the colts are taken to the barn, halter broken and weaned. Weaning is not difficult, because at this time most mares give little milk, and the colt having eaten grass, can get its nourishment from other sources.
 When the halter Is first placed on the colt, 1t Is kept tied for about two weeks, then all are allowed to run loose in a large yard inclosed with a high board fence. Now I feed them plenty of hay and give them plenty of water and they always have access to a large stall in the barn. The colts are fastened at night and given grain and hay. I follow this method care fully during the winter, and in spring. as soon as the pastures are green, they are again turned out Good pas ture and plenty of fresh water will keep colts growing and developing rapidly
 It pays to watch the feed and not allow them to become stunted. In the fall they are again taken up and fed on grain and hay. At three years old they are broken to drive, but are not worked until the following year to amount to anything. Overwork may cause injury to young growing colts, and this point should not be over looked. Fillies are handled in much the same way as geldings.

Woes of the Rich.

A smile nlumined the countenance of the head bookkeeper. "The rich have their troubles" he said jouously Yesterday the old man told me to come up to his house after hours to go over some accounts with him. When arrived, about 2 o'clock, he had on his evening clothes and was going to the theater, he told me. He had an early dinner so as to work with me until his wife should return from an automobile drive up in the Catskills, where she had been all day. He was expecting her any minute, he said, and meantime we would go over the accounts. He had bought the tick cts, of course. We went to work comfortably enough, but after a while the old man began to get nervous. Eight o'clock came, and S:30, and
 still no wifey. The old boy swore and had to try to look sympathet- ic. At o'clock he received a tele- phone message that wifey's party was up in the Croton watershed with six punctures and might never get home. The old man wasn't 1t to work any
 more that evening""

Wait for Mud to Dry.

Father Graham, as everybody in the village called him, was one of the old1 fashioned gentlemen of whom there are so few left now. He was beloved by every one. and his influence in the little town was great. so good and so active was he.
 A young man of the village had been badly insulted, and came to Father Graham full of angry indignation. de- claring that he was going at once to demand an apology
 My dear boy" Father Graham said, take a word of advice from an old man who loves peace. An insult is like mud; it will brush of much bet ter when 1t is dry. Wait a little till he and you are both cool, and the thing is easily mended. If you go now, 1t will only be to quarrel"
 It is pleasant to be able to add that the young man took his advice; and before the next day was done. the insulting person came to beg forgive mesa

White snaiIs Are Edible.

The large, whitish snail. found on the downs and chalk lands of Surrey and Sussex, is certainly eatable. though I should hesitate at the ordin- ary brown or striped hedgerow snail It has been conjectured that these large white snails are in direct de- scent from the Roman importation of snails. which may very well be true. But the country folk will not eat them. A foreign gentleman" was held in great scorn by certain villagers be- cause he collected these snails. gave them a weeks special diet and then ate them. Cooked with the right sauce the snail can be delicious. But don't forget the sauce. When you have hooked him out of the shell empty the liquor that remains in the shell into your mouth. It's delicious.-LondoH Chronicle.

 Some box-kites stand nine feet high, have seventy square feet of lifting surface and weigh only eleven pounds. The kites are flown singly or in tan dem. Steel piano wire is used instead of cord, and as much as 32.000 feet Is coiled around a drum driven by steam power. By this means kites have raised scientific instruments for the study of the atmosphere to a- height of over three miles above the earth's surface.
 The great practical importance of using kites in this way lies in the information they give of coming weather changes which are first felt in the upper air.
 The box kite was invented by Laur- ence Hargrave of Sydney. N. s. w.

USEFULNESS OF BOX KITES
Scientific Instruments Have Been Car rled Into Air for Study of the
 Atmosphere.

In reply to query for instructions as to how to make box kite the fol- lowing instructions are given:
 The examples of this style of kite shown in the accompanying illustra- ton seem to be of simple construc- ton. The brief directions given, with the study of the drawings, may per haps be sufficient aid to the enquirer in building such a kite.
 These cellular or box-kites have square or oblong cells, the framework of which are made of light wooden rods and are then covered with cotton except the ends, which are left open The two cells or cases are fastened at a little distance from each other by four or more sticks.
 These kites have been made use of to send an instrument into the higher
