ALL RUSSIAN TERRITORY

Petrograd, Nov. 11.--All Russian

forces Of the cEar as they press on

Galicia.
With heavy SHOWS having already
fallen In the north, the Russian trans

sledges. The cavalry Is reported to

The line Of sntrenchments erected
by the Germans from CEenstochowa to
Cracow and KalisE are declared to
have been abandoned. These trenches
are partially constructed OF eoncrste,
and II was expected that along this
line the forces OF tho kaiser would
make a determined stand.
Russian cavalry Is reported within
20 miles Of CracoW, but It Is assumed
here that this force Is comparatively
small and probably Is composed Of
skirmishers working southwark from
the vicinity OF Czenstochowa.

For Eggs in Winter.

Missouri farmers lose thou
sands Of dollars every year be-
their poultry is not properly
housed. Unless proper quarters
are provided hens will not lay
during the winter and it Is q
waste of feed and time to hole
then over. The most common
mistake is to keep more hens
than the house will hold. A bet
ter plan would be to Gull the
flock and comfortably house
thsst that remain. II a poultry
house is roomy, it does 20 harm
to keep the birds shut up on
stormy days, The house should
be dry. This is accomplished by
having a good dry floor and .
good system of ventilation.
Above all the quarters should be
light and clean the house a
pleasant place for the hens to
live IN.
The Missouri College of Agri-
culture gives the following pre-
scription for happiness and
q full egg basket:
Allow each hen four square
feet Of floor space.
Provide one square foot Of glass
10 svDry fifteen square feet of
of 1oor space.
Loeate the windows on the
south side and place the tops not
quite half as high as the house
is wide.
Ventilate by placing one square
foot Of muslin to every fifteen
square feet of floor space, or by
making slat front similar to the
cupolas in barns. Be sure the
house is free from cracks and
and that there are no openings
for drafts on the back, ends
rooix
Build a floor eight inches
higher than the surrounding
ground. Fill in four inches of
course stone, then two inches of
clay and then two of dirt. This
will make dry floor.
Provide $40 inches of roosting
space and one nest TO every six
hens.
Cover the floor with a foot or
eighteen inches of straw. Feed
the grain in the straw 80 as to
encourage exercise.

poultry matters write to the Ponl.
