Third War Now Predicted.

Iondon-The second Balkan peace
congress having concluded peace on a
basis of compromise which is unsatis-
factory to all the states concerned ex-
cent possibly Roumania, the question
is being asked how soon third Balkan
war will break out.
Bulgaria has obtained under the
agreement reached in Bucharest con-
siderable portion of Northern Mace
dOnia - much more than the allies
were at first inclined to give her-and
also about so miles of the Aegean sea-
board, which will enable her to build
the projected railway from Philipopolis
to Aegean.
Bulgaria, however, deeply resents
being deprived of Kavala, port on
Kavala Bay, which goes to Greece.
Also she is confronted with the task
of expeling the Turks from Adrian
ople, it being clear that the powers
will do nothing in this direction. Bull
garia will seek to introduce in the
peace protocol to be signed at Bucha-
rest reservation practically appeal
ing to the European powers for a sub
sequent revision of the peace treaty.

New York-The steering gear of the
giant 1mperator, which locked here

before midnight and the great ship,
utterly helpless, made circles half a
mile in diameter several times before
she could be stopped.
There were late diners in the Ritz

Traing Grape Vines.

The grape vine is one Of the most
accommodating plants that grows. You
can train it anywhere, and in any
shape you want. If there is va
cancy in the row you can fill up gaps
by layering young canes that have
grown from the root of the vine. Or
tie young cane up to the wire to
take the place of the vine, and bend
the old one down into a trench
inches deep and carry it along as far
as it will go. Anchor the vine with
sods or earth with stones on top, and
add more from time to time if needed,
and thus cover the wires with a con-
tinuous row of vines. If the original
vine is in pocket of rich earth, or
near ditch or stream where the roots
can get good supply of moisture, the
new growth could be layered year
after year for mile, according to a
writer in Farm and Home.
There is no need Of vacancies in a
row because of lack of soil to support
a vine in particular place. If vine
has grown wild for years in a yard or
by an arbor, the old vine can be lay
cred in trenches along the arbor or
across under a walk or driveway.
Stake up young canes where wanted,
or where there is room for vine, and
get fruit from them.

the fall and staked five laterals up,
which bore fruit the next year.

FARM AMP :!:i,S ORCHARD
Notes and Instructions from Ag1nri Colleges Experiment Saons
Raising Chicks BY Hundreds,

Inc farm poultry keeper who raises
OuO or more chicks a year finds a
Drooder house an almost indispensable
adjunct. It makes it possible to take
care OF the chicks with the least labor,
gives them an abundance of air and
plenty Of room for exercise in stormy
weather when they would be too close
" confined in smaller brooders.
The brooder house in use in Mis-
souri, poultry experiment station and
recommended by Director Quisenberry
to anyone who raises large numbers of
chickens Matched by incubators is 40
feet long by IA feet wide on con-
crete foundation with rat-proof wood
floor, says Farm and Home.
A matched board partition through
the center provides two apartments,
each having its own heater in center
OF room. If the heater gets too warm
for the chicks nearest to it they move
back to a comfortable temperature,
which they cannot do if kept in a
small room. Each apartment will
house 1000 chickens and should not be
used for less than 500 as their own
heat helps to regulate the temperature
of the room, and the cost of the build
ing and running heating plant is too
large for small number.
The baby chicks are placed in one
apartment and their yard is fenced
with 12-inch wire netting so that they
cannot get far from their foster
mother. When they become large
enough to hustle around little they
are placed in the other apartment and
allowed to roam at will, but their
water supply and dry mash hopper
are placed near the entrance so that
they do not get very far away. There
is plenty Of shade in the immediate
vicinity so that they do not have to
stay in the house to get out of the sun.
The building completed with good
coat Of paint cost 1925 and the self
regulating oil heaters about $40 each.
All window openings are covered with
fine wire netting to keep out birds and
rodents.

CATTLE RUSHED TO MARKET

Prices Down in Kansas City.

Kansas City - The thrush of cattle
to the Kansas City stockyards from
dry sections of Nebraska, Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Missouri, which began in
earnest Wednesday when 80, 900 head
were unloaded, continued with the
receipt of 16, 900 more Thursday. For
the first two days of the week 46, 600
cattle were received - 10000 more
than Monday and Tuesday of last week
and nearly twice as many as were re-
ceived at the Chicago stockyards.
Prices were Is to Is cents hundred
lower than Monday, making drop of
so cents to $1.25 hundred in the last
ten days.
Commission men said letters and
kilograms from the stockraising dis
tricts were gloomy and indicated that
unless rain came soon, the flooding OF
the local cattle market would be con-
tinued.

WILSON MAINTAINS CONTROL
Indications Are Legislative Pro-
gram Will Be Carried Out.

Washington, D. C.-There is as yet
not the slightest indication that Presi-
dent Wilson is losing his grip on con-
gress, and unless there should develop
an unexpected bolt in the Democratic
majority in the senate, the Wilson
legislative program will be put
through as outlined at the White
House. This means that congress will
remain in session, after passing the
tariff bill, to consider the currency bill
and pass it, unless protracted debate
runs the special session right up to
December l.
From time to time there is an init
nation that there may be Demo-
cratic revolt in the senate. 1t is said
that this senator or that, disgruntled
over some move Of the administration,
will refuse longer to take dictation
from the White House, but it soon de-
velops that these threats are idle and
mean nothing.
The case Of Senator Chamberlain,
of Oregon, is an illustration. In a
moment of excitement the Oregon
senator, who does not believe in plac-
ing raw wool on the free list, declared
on the floor Of the senate that he was
not bound by the caucus action on the
tariff bill, and indicated purpose to
bolt. Within an hour after he uttered
the threat, he had reconsidered
From time to time it is found that
Democratic senators are not pleased
with the way the President is handling
patronage. He has made some ap-
pointments that have not been rec
commended by Democratic senator's,
and he has ignored senatorial recon-
mendations in filling some general
offices, but when the President sends
word to the senate that he wants this
or that man confirmed, the opposition
breaks down and the President has his

HUERTA SAYS GLANDS. OFF,,
VIII Not Resign Nor Consider Any
Sort Of Compromise.


Mexico City-President Huerta re-
iterated the declaration Of his policy
OF hands off" in reply to question
as to what would be his attitude in
case an offer Of mediation should be
made by the United States through
John Lind. who is coming here as the
personal representative of President
wilson, to act as adviser to the Amer
lean embassy.
Il have said publicly" President
Huerta declared, "that / will not ac-
cept mediation or Intervention of anv
kind, because national dignity and
honor DO not allow it. I have declared
also that | will not treat with the
rebels, and much less will I do 80 If
doing so involves fragrant violation
of our sovereignty.
"All should be Joined in the bonds
OF peace, rejecting all suggestions Of
violation of sovereign and insult
that may be offered to our national
dignity. Personal friends of Presi-
dent Huerta, who appear to enjoy his
confidence, vigorously assert that he
will not consider resigning or any
compromise with the rebels. They saw
they would regard as gratuitous the
sending of a representative here by
the United States with the announce
ment that he is intended ultimately to
be ambassador, but whose primary
mission is to act as mediator. They
insist that if the United States is sim
cere in its desire to restore peace, the
most practicable means to this end
would be the recognition of the Huer-
ia government.
That any suggestion by Mr.. Lind or
any other foreigner that President
Huerta shall resign in favor of pro-
visional president or that compro-
mise be effected with the rebels would
be regarded as unfriendly interference
and would be resented by the govern
ment, was the comment of one man
high in official life. He added that
mediation from the outside was out of
the question.

President Sets Fashion.

Washington, .. C.-President Will
SON is becoming the Beau Brummel Of
Washington. As he dresses, all others
clothe themselves.
White duck is now the vogue.
Thirty-three and a third per cent Of
all the males in Washington wear suits
of that cloth, because President Will
son wears it.
It was in the first hot week in July
that the President Of the United States
first appeared in white. Now all the
men in official Washington wear either
white suits or white trousers and dark
coats, but it is all lightweight ma
terial.
President Wilson is the most con-
sistent wearer Of white. He wears it
to his Office, to play golf and to the
ball game. He also wears it when he
frequently goes to theaters to see
stock company production.

Dust Box Keeps Lice
From RObbing Egg Basket

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-A box of fine dust placed where
the hens may have access to it during
the fall and winter months will enable
them to keep down the louise pest.
Professor Lunn, of the poultry depart
ment in the college, explains why
this is so, as follows:
tDon't let the lice rob the egg bas-
ket. Summer is rapidly passing. It
is time to begin planning for winter
eggs. One of the foundation stones
of good egg production is the health,
vigor and contentment Of the hen. If
she isn't contented, the egg basket
will show it. She can't be happy or
contented if overrun with lice. A few
lice won't trouble her. 1t is only
when overrun with them that serious
results are noticeable. Now, it isn't
practicable to dust the individual hens
in a large flock, and it isn't necessary.
If given an opportunity the hen will
look after the lice question herself.
All that is necessary on the farmer
part is to provide good dust bath and
she will do the rest. The chicken
louise being one Of the lower forms OF
animal life, breathes through small
spiracles, or holes in its body. The
dust coming in contact with these
holes, clogs them up, preventing
breathing, which results in death.
81 said it was time to begin plan
ming for winter eggs. 1t is also time
to lay in a supply Of fine dust. Sack
it up or fill a barrel or box and store
in good dry place for fall and winter
use. A supply can be kept in the
chicken house in a box OF about
18x24x6 inches for the chickens use.
It would need replenishing only every
week or two.

None of Kyle's hens had been laying

morning Kyle wished to use the car,
but found that three Of his hens had
each laid an egg in it. Rather than
break the spell, Kyle decided not to
