RIGHT FEED WILL Give
HARD SHELL EGGS,

The feeding of hens for the produc-
ton of hard shelled eggs, not easily
breakable in handling, is possible and
demands attention. Shells vary great
ly in strength. A strong, heavy shell
is not nearly so likely to be broken
by the jars, jolts and rough handling
incident to ordinary shipment as a
weak one.
Chemical analyses show that the
shell of the egg is largely carbonate
of lime, but that it also contains car
Donate of magnesia, mineral phosphate
and some organic matter. If strong
shells are to be produced, the mineral
elements must not be lacking. Grains
that are ordinarily fed do not contain
these mineral elements in sufficient
proportions, and an additional and
separate supply is necessary. FOrtu-
nately, these mineral elements are
available in much cheaper forms than
in grains. Lime is the principal in
gredient of oyster shells, which may
be procured for about $12 a ton. Iron,
magnesia and often phosphorus in
many kinds of artificial grit, may be
procured for about the same price,
while these elements in grain would
cost at least double these figures.
Bone meal contains phosphorus in
appreciable amounts, besides lime,
magnesia, etc. land while expensive, it
is effective in giving the shell an even
ness and fineness of texture which
adds much to its strength. 1t is,
therefore, often used as an ingredient
for dry mashes for laying focks, usu-
ally in amount varying from 3 to S
per cent.
Eggs that won't break give the poul-
tryman greater profits than eggs that
will. Make your hens lay the non
breakable kind.-The University Farm
Press, University of Minnesota.

The War Office at Petrograd has re.
ceived information that the Austrians are
concentrating at Cracow and that they
will have the assistance there of German
forces that could not be sent forward
into Eastern Galicia. 1t is stated, how
ever, that no opportunity is to be given
the Austrians. who have been so badly
defeated, to retire in order from the san
river positions. Instead, the Russians are
crossing the river in force and planning
9 general attack on the fanks of the re-
treating Austrian armies.

Lord Kitchener. Secretary of State for
war, In addressing the House of Lords
this afternoon made this announcement
The War Secretary said that tho tou
rttorials already were on their wav n
hl' the overseas garrisons.
AT the present time, Lord Kitchor..
said, England had in the field more thon
six divisions of troops in addition to t,yo
cavalry divisions.
In opening his address Lord Kitch.n..
spoke In the highest eulogstic terms ~.
garding Sir John French, British Com.
mander-in- Chief, who, he said had ma,
every difficulty presented by the sitnsS
ton in manner that proved his worth
as a soldier :"
Thanks to his superb leadership -
continued Kitchener, 'the British army
has been able at all times to fight fght
that has thrown terror into the enen,,,
Nothing has been wanting. His every
move has shown he has foreseen what
was W colIle anu mas so distributed his
forces that the strongest of German
blows have spent their weight yyitbou,
bringing the disaster their authors had
planned.
THE latest advices from the front do
not change the published statements, The
government is taking the people of the
nation into its confidence so far as il IL
able. Every bit of information that
properly can be made public is published
our troops have met with the difficult
ties of hard campaign with good heart
They are now waiting for the general
forward movement with a good heart.
When the word comes, England can
depend on her soldiers to give an ac.
count of themselves of which all true
Englishmen will be proud.
Although the struggle is bound to be
a long one England can look forward to
the final outcome with quiet confidence
England now has in the field more than
six divisions of troops and two cavalry
divisions"
The statement by Kitchener that the
army in the field now consists of more
than six divisions and two cavalry divi-
sions' is significant 1t means that there
are not less than $4,000 British now fight
ing in France and confirms the report
that the New Zealand and Indian troops
are already in the line.
The regular British "expeditionary
army" according to the regulations, con-
sists of 'one cavalry division and six divi.
sions of the other branches of the SER
vice" Lord Kitchener says there are two
cavalry divisions in action which may
mean an entire division of Indian troops.
