. =. AAAo0AD00noS 81 s5
Poultry marketed from the farm
consists Of cockerels, Of males undsg.
one year, ROSTERS, pullets culled from
standardized stock, hens, guineas,
doves, ducks, geese and turkeys. They.
are generally sold alive 1nrsummer and
early. autumn, and both alive and
dressed in late autumn and winter.
To bring the highest market price.
market poultry, whether. alive q
dressed, should be in good health. Of
large size and well fattened. The laws
Of Minnesota make it and offense pun
ishable by fine of not less than 80,
or imprisonment in jail for not len
than 60 days, for selling or offering
for sale, sick, diseased or decaying
poultry. Disease il usually disclosed
by white or black comb and q stilt-
ed walk.
All poultry marketed should be fat.
This condition is the chief factor IN
determining the price per pound. Fat
old hens, Of whatever weight, often
command higher price than young,
tender spring chickens Chickens fat
tened with ground grains and skim
milk or butter milk are called "milk.
fed chickens' and command fancy
prices. At the Crookston Station,
Barred Plymouth >, Rock Cockerels,
three and half months old, gained
two pounds in twenty-one days at
cost Of less than five cents per pound
gain. IN. E. Chapman, Poultry 9pe-

Minister Of War and Chief Of
Staff Suddenly Resign.
ENTIRE FLEET ASSEMBLING
Negotiations for Temporary Loan OF
Fifty Million Do,}Ars Also Aids in
Producing Disquieting Effect.

London, Dec 10.-Sudden resigna-
ton of the Austro-Hungarian minister
Of war, General Auffenberg, and the
chief of general staff, General Sche-
mus, the reported concentration OF the
entire Austrian fleet at Pola, its chief
naval station, and Austria's negotia-
lions for temporary loan OF 50,00O,-
900, were chief developments In the
Balkan war situation.
No explanation is yet forthcoming
Of the Austrian war department
changes and, coming at such a time
as the present, it cannot be doubted
that it will have a wide political sig
nificance.
It had been expected that in event
of war General Won Hoetzendorf would
be appointed chief of staff and his ap-
pointment now to succeed General
Schemus, coupled with the news Of
the renewal of the dreibund and that
Austria-Hungary has negotiated TEN.
porary loans Of $50,o00,000, cannot
but have a disquieting effect on the
situation.
It is supposed that Austria wishes
possibly to exert strong influence
over the coming conference proceed
ings in London and especially to pre-
vent the entry of Turkey into the Bal
kan federation. The Austrian war
party is known to be infamed against
Russia in the belief that the defiant
Russian attitude is due to the Franco
Russian alliance.
Some of the Austrian newspapers,
representing the war party, are urg-
ing that, unless Russia ceases MOBILIZE
ing, the powers comprising the triple
alliance should fall upon France and
crush her before Russia is able to in
tervene.
However the crisis may end, tho war
fever is having disastrous effect on
Austro-Hungarian trade. A complete
financial stagnation prevailed through
os't Galacia, where the various banks
,*:>'antIy have paid out more than $780,
{ 100 to nervous depositors without
g.. ming the run.
