QUICK ACTION URGED
IN SHIP BILL REPORT
Federal Control Advocated and
Government Ownership De-
Tended as Being Wise.
no CAUSE FOR ALARM SEEN
Chairman Alexander Files the
Favorable Report in the
House.

wAsHISdroN. Sept. s.-The report on
the bill offered in behalf OF the Admins
tration by Representative Alexander,
chairman OF the Committee on Merchant
Marine. proposing the creation OF Gov
eminent corporation to purchase or build
and operate ships in the oversee trade
was filed with the House to-day.
Mr. Alexander. who wrote the report
took occasion 20 denounce the subsidy
policy in the upbuiding of a merchant
marine He justified the proposal that
the Government should go into the BUSH
ness Of operating ships on the ground that
the present emergency warranted such
action.
ON the possibility OF diplomatic en-
tangl,ments as result Of the passage OF
the bill Mr.. Alexander said
Fears are expressed that we Will IN
volve ourselves in complications with
Great Britain and France II we buy Ger
man ships That may be. The hill does
not direct the shipping board to buy ships
Of the subjects OF any particular nation.
They have the widest discretion In the
purchase or construction OF vessels.
The President will have the State De-
PARTNER, to advise him. The bell.gerents
have their diplomatic representatives, in
Washington through whom objections to
any proposed purchase nay b" made and
We should assume that the President and
tho shipping board will avail themselves
Of all sources OF information before act
ing
Mir ilcNandcrs report In part follows
~ this bill is enacted into law Il will
serve at leas; a twofold purpose In the
tr. dc IL which the Government controlled
vessels are employed.
First, those lines will be projected To
ports In Central and South America and
els, whore to increase our mail facilities
and to meet the growing demands Of our
foreign commerce.
Second. the corporation or corporations
organized to operate these fnes will be
controlled by the Government through the
President and the shipping board and they
will have he power to regulate rates fOI
CT rrying the mails and for passenger and
freight service. II will not be necessary
for the Government TO furnish vessels &c
handle all the traffic, nor Is II desirable
why should the Government not pur
chase or construct inerCh1n. vessels anc
operate them through corporation con
trolled by the Government and operated
for the benefit OF tine great agricultural
and commercial interests OF our country
Mr.. Alexander will call up the shippine
bill In the House at the first opportunity
/ He is hopeful Of its passage this week.

The chief trouble is that the mines do

1T, PETERSBURG, Sept (deiayed) -
German prisoners say the speech deliv-

on their departure for the front was of a
character which the press is forbidden to

Thin men and women, that big hearty, filling dinner you ate last night What became of all the fat producing nourishment it contained: You haven't gained in weight one ounce.

This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs. your functions of ds- similation. are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.

CURE FOR RESTLESS HENS.
Tip for Poultry Raisers on How to
 Keep Stock Contented.

hungry hen is not contented hen. I have seen flocks that one would think at first sight were a healthy, energetic bunch, but close observation soon showed they were rather a hungry bunch, a writer in Farm and Preside states. Not just a little hungry, but very hungry.
 A flock that is fed at any old time is not contented flock. If the hens are fed at a certain time every day they soon learn when 1t Is, and they will never expect to be fed between times. During the time between feeds they will go about their business with contentment, scratching,i dusting, lay ing. stunning themselves, but never standing around as near the direction the feed comes from as they can get, and clamoring for something to eat, probably eating but little when they get 1t. They will get the "piecing hab- It just the same as the children if you teach it to them, and the habit does not make for contentment.
 An injudicious method of turning the hock out to graze is another very com mon cause of discontent If you let them out all day one day and keep them shut up the next, you will have pretty serious case of restlessness the second day. In fact, it will take them week to get over their unrest and become satisfied with their lot. If you select a certain hour in the evening and let them out regularly at that hour you will have no trouble. In few days you might go into the lot almost any time in the day and they would never make any attempt to get out, but when that hour arrives you will find them all eagerness, and 1T you open the door they are coming out or know the reason why

POTATO BLIGHT.
Spray with Bordeaux Mixture to Avoid : This Bad Pest.

Potato growers who are not spraying With bordeaux mixture are very likely this season if the weather is like that Of the past two weeks, to be seriously affected with the late blight The work CTS of the league have found that many are using material to kill the bugs but are not spraying with fungicide to eliminate as much as possible the at tacks of the fungus causing the blight. This is a serious mistake.
 Every grower should spray with the bordeaux either made at home by mix ing four pounds of copper sulphate, four pounds of caustic lime slaked and these reduced with 50 gallons of water, or that which can be obtained in the market ready to be reduced. This material should be applied every 10 days to two weeks.
 Frequently it is possible to see together too much. With soil condi- tfons that are common in this county. such treatment may cause the field to suffer severely from the effect of drouth. Probably the milling will pre- vent many potatoes from becoming sunburned, as well as aid in covering up weeds in the row. On the other hand, it will cause much greater loss of water, which is surely to be needed during July and August, so that 1t will result in a smaller yield of potatoes. Therefore with our light soil it would seem folly to do such extreme milling is so often seen. Plant the seed deep and practice level cultivation until the last, when slight milling may be desirable.
 This same principle applies to corn and tomatoes which the volunteers have in their gardens.

won by Leghorns. P. G. Platt of Wal Hngford, Pa wins first with a yield of 57 eggs. Charles Heigl of Rocky River, Ohio wins second with a yield of 55 while Tom Barron's pen IS close third with 54 eggs to their credit, very remarkable production after their record of 63 eggs for last week. The total production for the thirty-sixth week is S075 eggs or 67 eggs less than the proceeding week.
 The egg production of a great many f1ocks of hens will drop about this season of the year due to the lack of succulent green food. Even though there are some weeds and grass in the yards it does not seem to appeal to the hens as did the soft tender grass of early spring. To supplant this want there is now at the contest plant ready for feeding one-tenth acre of Dwarf Essex Rape and one-fifth-acre of Swiss Chard. These two plants make ideal green food for poultry, the Dwarf Essex Rape being ready to har- vest in about six weeks from seed can be cut just above the central leaf bud several times and will produce an abundance of crisp green leaves. The Swiss Chard is ready to cut in about ten weeks and will continue an abundance of succulent food until cold weather, Both of these plants are hardy and will stand frost. Where hens have large yards with some grass some little difficulty may be experi enced it teaching them to eat this form of green food; this however can be overcome by small feeds at regular in- tervals and where yards are pare it will be devoured ravenously and will make a wonderful difference in the egg record during the summer and fall months
