PREPARING PULLETS FOR FALL
LAYING
Well Developed Birds Are the Early
Layers.
W. E. KELLER
w. E. KELLER

No more preplexing problem confronts
| poultry raisers than the one OF getting
the pullets laying early. This should not
be difficult if taken in time Of course,
birds must have opportunity to develop
before they can be expected to lay, so
hatch the birds early, that is Orping-
| tons in February and March, Reds, Rocks
and Wyandottes in March and early
April, and Leghorns in April and early
May.
Next to Matching them, the breeder
should see that the birds develop stead
lily, with no serious setbacks. Proper
brooding and feeding are very important
at all stages, but particularly in the
early ones. Feed good foods, for gains
made during the first few weeks are
worth double those made later.
Get the Birds Out on Range.
As soon as the birds are fully feath-
cred and able to stand it, get them out
on range The exercise, insects, grits,
and other advantages which a good,
shady range affords, viii be of great
value in growing fine, sturdy birds able
to bear the heavy strain Of steady win
ter laying.
The following feeds can be recon-
mended as giving splendid results:
parts bran Z. part beef scrap
2 parts alfalfa meal a part bone meal
| part corn meal n part charcoal
This formula is suitable for chicks
about two weeks old, but after that the
beef scraps should be gradually increased
until it amounts 10 one part at Ia weeks. |
The bone meal should be likewise in
creased until il amounts 20 q part.
Above all, do not be afraid of overfeed- |
ing, for this is almost impossible with !
healthy, growing chicks on open range. I
If you have surplus milk, feed it, by all
means, either skinned or made into cot.

cial paper" and the question whether
state banks admitted to the federal re-

tinue to make loans on real estate are
the two great issues about to be deter
mined by the federal reserve board.
State banks and trust companies, some
of them of important size, are entering
willing to curtail their operations in real
estate. The law is found 10 be silent
upon the point whether state banks
shall be required to discontinue their
real estate departments. Country ma
tional banks are permitted by the law
to make a limited amount of loans upon
farm lands, but IL is understood here
that the federal reserve board has dis
erection whether state institutions may
continue TO loan or real estate as be-
fore.
The national banks in the past have
objected strongly TO the competition Of
the trust companies and have taken the
position that the national banks should
be permitted 20 do a real estate bus
mess or that the state banks should b..
refused the privileges Of the national
banking system. No doubt the same
sentiment exists now, but should the
federal reserve board decide for the pur-
pose OF strengthening the federal system

DARING ROBBERY.
Yegg1nen Drilled Two Safes and Sc
cured $500 in Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Oct. 10
One Of the most darir Z and sensation
al burglaries attempted in this city IN
years was successfully carried out be-
tween , and, I clock Yesterday morn
ing when yeggmen broke into the dry
goods store Of Dickinson & Co. and
the Morse & Haynes shoe store, near
the corner of Vernon and Main streets,
and got away with mere than 5000 IN
cash. The burglars not only drilled
the safes in the two stores, but they
succeeded in doing it without discOv-
cry. They were probably scared away
by the officer on the beat whose at
tention was attracted to the Morse &
Haynes store by the peculiar noise
made by the heavy blows of the slcdge
while an attempt was being made to
open one Of the safes iii the store. The
officer, not willing to risk an investl-
CATION alone, summoned assistance, and
it was probably during the short space
of time that elapsed while he went to
get aid that the men succeeded in rs-
Gaping from the buildings. Fortunately
they were detected before they could
open the safe, which at the time held
$1,000. They evidently made Il quick
getaway. for they left a large kit OF
tools in their wake.
The burglars succeeded in opening
two safes in the Diskieson store and
one in the Morse 4 Haynes store. In
. the Dickinson store they succeeded il
getting about 5000, while in the Mors,
& HAYNES store they succeeded in get
ting only 50, the contents of the casf
drawer. In the opinion of the police
the men were professional burglars
with extensive experience. Both jobs
were neatly done. the men ridding at
three safes of their spindles without
doing much damage to the rest of tn,
ironwork. The police are convince,
that the men who did the job were
the same VINO succeeded in making
several successful breaks in New Ha
ven. Conn. Friday night. The New
Haven jobs were done in a similar
manner, the men evidently making il
their business to 20 after money rath

\ struggle for the possession of the
strip Of French seacoast that is nearest to

The naval forces are reported to have
joined in the movement with the allies,
who are making "a determined stand on
the Belgian frontier against the westward
drive OF the German right wing. The eN-

says that the German artillery has at

There was nothing from Berlin to re-

Great excitement prevailed throughout
Sunday in DCptford and neighboriug
boroughs. Crowds thron2ed the streets
and refused to move mt the o3ders of
the police and soldiers. In all it was
found that 20 bakeries butcher shops
and saloons were completely wrecked.
The rioters threatened to attack Ger
man places in Bromley and other bor-
oughs if the authorities permitted them
to open.
The rioting was led by 100 dock lab
Orers, who had been turned out of a
lodging house to make room for Bel
gian refugees. The men gathered in
n German saloon and smashed the win
dows and the bar. The dockers charg-
ed the owner Of the saloon with having

tIeships had been destroyed. The shop
OF a German butcher, in the window
of which Il picture OF Emperor William

A. PRCUTY AND HIS
POLITICAL SCMERSAULTs.

Mr.. Prouty. after having claimed to
be a lifelong Republican, did not dare
To enter the Republican primaries to
secure the nomination Of that party
for senator. but begged the nomination
of all the other political organizations
in the state. He was defeated in the
Democratic convention squarelv but it
was so manipulated that he finally got
on to the ticket through the back door
How much of a Democrat is Mr. Prou-
ty,
He spoke at = Republican rally in ST.

this statement:
1.-The Democrats would saddle
and bride the iack-ass of De-
mocracy, and like the howling
devils they are. ride him through
the very flames of hell, if they
could land him in the green pas
lures beside the still waters Of
federal patronage.
1t IS this same animal Mr. Proutv is
trying to ride
Mr.. Prouty has sought and received
the Progressive nomination for senator
On April 2Gth 1912, at sugar party
given by the Vermont Society at Wash
ington, Mr.. Prouty said in his speech:
When YOU find a man that
had rather shoot a rhinocerous
than give a hungry man a din
ncr, you will find a man who
wants q third term for the presi-
dencv.
Is a man so unstable in his political
beliefs and so uncertain in his political
affiliations to be trusted with the Unit
ed States senatorship from Vermont2
Would you not rather elect a senator
who is reliable!

German Advance from Ostend
on the French Coast Towns
Has Been Blocked
GERMANS RETREAT
FROM AROUND LILLE
But There Is No Confirmation That
They Have Evacuated That City or
Courtrai-German Army in Flanders
Was in Great Peril.

LONDON, oct. 10. 1890 Il. H.
From the point OF view of the allied
armies 50 far as could be learned from
dispatches reaching London today the
situation i'm West Flanders and in
France as far south as Lille seemed
on this, the 18th day of the war, per
haps more hopeful than at any time
since the German 5 advance on Paris
was checked. Though the news reach
ing England is meagre and to an ex-
tent delayed as always, all tidings
vance from Ostend on the French
coast towns has been blocked tempo
rarilv at least. while farther south in
a region that was Il week ago the cX-
trcme German right the invaders have
been compelled again to give ground
before the allies force. which has
been concentrating on Lille. Several
reports stated that the Germans have
withdrawn from this town, but this is
not confirmed nor is the report that
they have evacuated Courtrai, nearly
80 miles northwest. It seems plain,
however, that the menace here grew
marked and that the German army OPP
Grating along The coast Of Flanders
found itself i'm peril of being cut off
from the main body. What opposition
they met along the sea is only guess
work for it has never been disclosed
in Germany what forces the allies
have or at what points they touch the
coast.
