ONLY THE OTHER DAY WE
read OF German victories In France
and Russian victories In Prussia.
Today we read OF German de-
feats In France and Russian de-
feats In Prussia.
This can mean but one thing:
That the kaiser has weakened his
forces In France to strengthen
those In Prussia. The allies left
wing now, for the first time, out
numbers the German right wing.
Tho allies must be given credit
for good strategy. The German
right wing Is reported In retreat
and broken up. This has sur-
prlsed the critics, but the key to
the mystery Is given In the news
that the German right wing had
reached provins before Its rcpuse.

But the right wing moved too

But the Germans did not come

The speedy right wing was iso-

military governor OF Paris, act
wisely. He loosed the garrison Of
Paris on the German right wing.
and II fell upon the German flank
and drove II back and back.

CHOOSING A BRooDER.
Even the Best Brooder Depends on the
Operator.

The essential parts of brooder are
the hover and nursery, the former sup
plying the heat to keep the chicks warm
and the latter being the place where they
exercise. In purchasing a brooder pick
out one that provides for good circu-
lation of warm, fresh air under the how
er, as an ample heating caapcity and can
be placed where the chicks may get plen-
ty of sunshine.
The indoor oil heater brooder, with
the lamp under the broo1er floor, the
heat passing up through the bottom into
dome forming the center of the hover.
is built to be used in a room or house
warmed above the freezing point. It is
practical, inexpensive, and the better
grades are freproof, provided the rules
for operating them are strictly observed.
The latest patterns of indoor colony
brooders are in the form of a round iron
stove surrounded by galvanized hood,
making the cover of the hover; these lit
tie stoves are filled from the top, regu-
lated BY a thermostat, and burn but lit
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-02-23

tie coal--in fact, one filling Of the coal
magazine win often last for twenty-four
hours.
The Pipe System.
For those who only wish to raise few
hundred chicks, the indoor individual
brooder ii excellent, but where large
numbers are to be raised the hot-water
pipe system is the most economical. This
arrangement consists Of pipes carried un-
der low board brooders running the en-
tire length Of the house, through which
hot water circulates, being heated in a
small boiler set in a pit at one end OF
the building. The cost of installing such
system is not great, and the fuel con-
sumed is surprisingly small.
In using any OF the different styles of
indoor brooders it is necessary to keep
the air in the room or brooder house
fresh and pure by some simple system OF
ventilation which will avoid drafts. Out
door breeders are usually divided into
two compartments, one having the how
er and the other being room in which
to exercise. This type Of brooder Is fine
for those who begin Matching in April.
They are heated on the same principle
as the indoor brooder first spoken Of and,
like them, are practically fireproof, but
should be protected by some sort OF
screen from the high winds.
A word as to the care of breeders:
If oil lamps are used fill and wipe the
wicks daily, or, if using coal burning
heaters, keep the CRATES clean and re-
move ashes regularly. Lastly, keep the
litter under the hovers clean.

The British Case at Panama.

Our neighbor, the Boston Post, ought
to undertake a more careful study of
the British case in the Panama tolls
dispute before seeking editorially to ex-
pound it. Congress has made the canal
free only to our coastwise craft; The
Post argues that there can be no COM
petition between these eoastwise craft
and British vessels. Then, what all this
pother about? The British government
thinks differently, and has so persuaded
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
Canada has a coastwise commerce.
A British ship. lumber-laden from Van
couver, would have to pay tolls at Pam
ANA, bound to Halifax or Boston,; an
American ship, lumber-l laden from Seat
tie, bound to Boston, would not. The
British argument is that this is dis
elimination against both the Canadian
lumbermen and the British shipowner,
who might secure the business If there
were no tolls to be paid-and the presi-
dent and the department of state ac-
knowledge it.
So, too, with a British ship loaded
with British textiles, boots and shoes
and steel manufactures from Liverpool
bound to San Francisco. She would have
to pay tolls, and though these might
be provided for in her British subsidy
the foreign office insists that she would
not receive equality of treatment" with
an American ship loaded with New Eng
land textiles, boots and shoes and steel
manufactures from Boston bound to San
Francisco-and our Democratic admin
istration admits the validity of this ar
gument, also, and demands that, in ac-
cord with the treaty, free tolls must be
withdrawn.
Both the British foreign Office and our
own president and secretary of state
regard the plea that the American coast
wise trade, being absolutely protected"
is, therefore, of purely domestic concern.
as superficial and unconvincing. But the
British government does not now hold
that Congress has no right to provide for
the repayment of tolls to American
ships. Ii did so at first, but when re-
minded of its own practice under OK.
actly the same treaty language at Suez.
it hastily abandoned this position as UNI
tenable.
When, therefore, The Post urges that
the repayment of tolls to American
ships, so as to put all ships on an actual
equality at Panama, as proposed by SEN
ator Lodge, is a "subterfuge and an
evasion of the treaty." our neighhor
shows itself to be more British than the
British government itself-an extraordi-
nary position for Boston newspaper in
this year of grace and Independence
