BERLIN OFTEN TAKEN
GERMAN CAPITAL FOUR TIMES
OCCUPIED BY ENEMY.
Most Severe Blow Was During tn,
Thirty Years War-captured by
the Austrlans In 1757-When
Napoleon Entered.

OF the capitals of the nations now a.
war in Europe, Berlin, in times past
has suffered most at the hands of for
eign troops.
In all warfare, the capital Of tht
country invaded is usually the object
i've Of the hostile action. Our own cap
ital at Washington suffered at tn,
hands of the British in the war of 1912
Since 144S Berlin has been the seat o.
the Hohenzollerns and has been occu
pied four times by the forces of an in
vading enemy.
During the Thirty years war the
city was practically razed to th'
ground. About one hundred years la
ter, in 1767, 1t was taken by the Aus
trians. They did no harm to the city
as they received ransom of 100000
thalers-about $1,125,000.
At the end Of the disastrous Jeni
campaign the capital of Germany fel
into the hands of the French in 1906
1t was occupied by the troops Of Ma
poleon for two years. When Prussit
and Russia allied in 1912 Berlin wal
again taken by the Little Corporal
and was held for a year.
Next to Berlin Paris has suffered
most at the hands of hostile troops
In March, 1914, the allied armies
which had opposed Napoleon took the
capital Of France and held 1t for two
months. A year later. at the end Of
the Hundred Days, the city again feI
into the hands of the enemy.
The Germans were anxious to blow
up the Arch de Triomphe, which cele
brated the victory Of the French al
Jena. but the British were opposed t.
1t and saved the arch.
After long siege by the Germans II
1870 Paris was again occupied by hos
tile troops. This time much damage
was done to the city. Many Of the prin
cipal buildings were destroyed Of
burned, and for several months the
Notifications around the city were
held by the kaiser's soldiers.
Since 1t became the capital OF Eng
land, London has never been occupied
by foreign troops. nor even has beer
threatened by them. It was held BY
Danish and Roman invaders before
England, as a nation, came into exist
ence. But since the time Of the Nor
mans the English capital has never
been threatened.
Before the present struggle Brusseli
had not been held by foreign troops. al
the integrity Of Belgium was pre-
served in the struggle OF 1870.
St. Petersburg. or Petrograd. as It Il
now called. has been too far removed
from the center OF activities In Euro
pean warfare to have suffered at the
hands OF an invading enemy.
Moscow has been the objective poinl
OF troops invading Russia In 1871 ant
1891 1t was taken by the Tartars of tn,
Crimea and destroyed. In 1912 Napo
leon made II the object Of his invasion
OF Russia and aided in its destruction
although the Russians themselves hat
done much to destroy the city befor,
the enemy arrived.

Phosphoreseent Aeroplanes.

Phosphorescent aeroplanes and air.
ships for night exhibitions, for adver.
tising and for increasing safety in
night flights are now proposed, and
phosphorescent modei flying machines
we're recently exhibited before an
American aeronautic society.
BY some new methods the light may
be made Of other colors besides the
familiar greenish blue, so that aero.
planes painted with this phosphor.
escent material may make a striking
color display without carrying an ap-
preciable amount OF additional weight.
The luminous glow, OF course, will
come only after the paint has been
given a good exposure to light. but
the aeroplanes would absorb enough
sunlight to give noticeable glow for
some hours at night. II has also been
found that mercury vapor lamps will
stimulate the glow, so the machines
could be given a soaking in light be-
fore going aloft at night.-saturday

TIMELY HINTS OF sHEEPFoLD
Animals Should Be Provided With
Shelter From Fall Ralns-Let
Lambs Run In cornfield.

Sheep need but little care during the
fall months. but they need that little
very much.
BY all means provide shelter from
the fall rains. Do not compel them to
stay indoors, but give them a shed so
they can get out Of the rain when they
wish.
Have some bright hay in the shed
rack. 30 they can eat a little without
geing In n sleet rain.
The sheep should have been dipped

The field makes an ideal place foi
lambs to feed after the corn gets
cared out. They clean out the weeds
eat enough down corn to keep fat
and are ready for market when their
task Is done.
Keep the sheep pens and yards
clean. Sheep manure heats rapidly
and filth is Injurious to sheep, especial

sow ALFALFA IN EARLY FALL
All Danger Of Interference From
Weeds Is Avpided-Pant ls Not
Very Vigorous at Start.

A great many people who SOW al
falfa in the spring complain that the
weeds take It," They do in a great
many Instances. Weeds and alfalfa

ground. One or the other must gain
the upper Hand In short order, and
the weeds are the more enduring and
the harder to conquer. AS a conse.
quence the alfalfa is smothered out
by them, and along in the middle OF
the summer you hear another man
proclaiming that alfalfa is no good.
Weeds have caused more alfalfa
failures than sour lands, wet soils or
poor seedbed preparation. The danger
Is particularly great where the seed.
Ing is done in the spring. Every
weed seed in the soil is fighting for
air enough and warmth enough to
sprout, and after 1t sprouts 1t will
fight for room enough to make it's

vigorous plant In its first few days of
life, and 1t is the first few days that
count In the growth Of alfalfa versus
weeds.
On account Of the danger from in
reference by the weed crop, 1t is
usually better to SOW alfalfa in the
fall, or In late summer It will be
time and money saved to put in the
seed in the summer following of the
land, stirring the soil enough to keep
down each successive weed crop. The
soil stirring will not only get rid of
the weeds that have come up, but
1t will stimulate the remaining seeds
that are lying In the soil to germina.

them in healthy breeding herd.
1t is an excellent plan to have

all other swine, and so located that

ten days, to be certain that they are

SUCCESS WITH SWINE.
Most important Factor Is Health
of the Animals.
Extraordinary Care Should Be Exer
olsed In Purchasing Hoes to See
That They Are Free From
TransmlssIble Diseases.
By N. MAYO.)


In the successful raising of swine
there are problems, other than that
of feeding, which often determine
success or failure. The most impor-
tant Of these is the preservation of
the health of the swine. Wherever a
considerable number Of animals are
gathered together the risk from dis
ease is considerably increased. Extra
precautions must then be taken to
guard against disease and to keep the
animals in thrifty condition.
The first essential is that their
quarters be kept clean and sanitary.
In purchasing swine, care should be
taken that they come from herds free
from transmissible diseases, that they
are healthy, and have not been ex-
posed to disease In transit. Public
stockyards are liable to be infected
with hog cholera; 1t is dangerous to
