The Aeroplane.

The effect of the aeroplane in war
fare is shown in the statement by the
official press bureau regarding the
German army corps. Nearly all OF
them, it says confidently, have been
definitely located. Presumably the
German airmen are equally aware Of
the Franco-Belgian concentrations;
and so for the first time in history a
great war will be fought almost like
game of chess, where each player
knows the disposition Of the adver-
sary's pieces no less than that of his
own. Generalship will not be :bol-
ished by the change; there is general
ship in chess, but it will be a great
deal modified. Going back to the last
great wars fought with civilized re-
sources, the Japanese won their decis-
i've victory at Mukden by bringing up
an army of which the Russians were
unaware at a point where they were
not expecting one. Under today's con-
ditions of aeroplaen scouting the bat
tie could not have been won in the
way in which it was. Nor could the
battle of Kirk KiIisseh.

CHEAP POULTRY FEED
SUBURBAN POULTRYmAN HAS AD-
VANTAGEs OVER FARMER.
Much Waste in Cities in Form of Gar
baee, Stale Bread, ButtermiIk and
Skim Milk Available at Very
Low Prices.
By ISAAC MOTEs.)


While the farmer-pOultryman AT a
distance from the city has some adj
yantages over the near-city poultry
man, the latter is not as badly handi-
capped on his home acre as you might
think
The farmer can, Of course, raise
most Of his feed, and his chickens
have plenty Of room to rustic their
foods in the fields, orchards, pasture
and barnyard, but on the other hand
the suburban poltryman is much
closer 10 market and can take advan-
tage of rush orders from merchants
either for eggs or dressed poultry, and
he is thus in position to get top mar
ket prices for the product of his focks.
And the near-city poultryman can
get cheap feed if he knows how, for
there is so much waste in cities in the
form of garbage, stale bread, butter
milk and skim milk. In a city con-
tanning number Of bakeries a pOul-
tryman can get large quantities Of stale
bread merely for hauling it away, or
if he pays for it, it will be only a
nominal sum.
l have in mind now woman in my
city who owns a restaurant, not
very large one, either. She also has
chicken farm about y niles from the
city, and she sends out to the farm
once a week from six to ten potato
sacks of waste bread Tor her chickens
bread which but for utilizing it thus
would be thrown away. The result is
that she makes a big profit on the
chickens and eggs she sells.
This bread is exceedingly fine for
chickens, especially when soaked in
warm skim milk, slightly sweetened
And it is as good for fattening chick
ems as for brood hens and young chick
ems. 1t is also fine for hogs.
Another kind of chicken feed which
the near-city poultryman can get in
large quantities is fresh buttermilk in
cities where there are creameries or
butter companies.
Such companies sell a great deal of
buttermilk, but nothing like as much
as they could sell, and a great deal of
it is turned into the sewer, so if a
poultryman with 200 or 500 chickens
wished to buy it in say f1ve-gallon lots
he would be able to get it very cheap
ly-perhaps for five cents a gallon, for
the buttermaker would surely prefer
selling it even at this price to throw
ing it away
This buttermtlk is especially good
for chickens cooped up to fatten for
market, for the acid in the milk is
good for their digestion in the winter
when they cannot get green stuff, and
also while they are cooped up where
they cannot take exercise.
Very few things are as fattening as
slightly sour milk curds, sweetened
heated to blood heat and with some
refuse grease or meat drippings from
the kitchen added. Such fat-making
food is better for fattening chickens,
however, than for hens with broods.
Another advantage the small poul-
Sryman has near the city is that he
is accessible to dairies where he can
get skim milk from separators, which
S also exceedingly good for fattening
chickens, in making up mashes of diff
ferent kinds. The butter companies
have a great deal of it for sale, and

American Military History.

One hundred years ago the little
American force pretentiously desig-
mated as the Army of the North re-
tired from Plattsburg to the south
bank Of the Saranac river, in readiness
to meet the British army, which was
now almost within striking distance.
General Macomb, the American com
mander, had about $500 men in his
army, but perhaps less than 1000 we're
fit for active duty. The British force
numbered between 1900 and $4,000
men, the majority of whom were vet
Grams in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibility of defense,
General Nacomb Unanswered his little
army and gathered such reinforce
ments by earnest appeal as to enable
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.

No fruit ripens so we'll nor has SO

is observable in our apple, peach, and
pear orchards when the worms have

Put some of the good fruit and vege-

you put medium or small fruit on the
top, the people will expect it all the

heel, you will take him for a tramp. 1t

neighborhoods there is little or none
of it for sale.
This skim milk is also fine for pigs
and calves, and every near-the- city
pOultryman should have at least one
pig fattening in a little pen with a
concrete bottom somewhere on his
premises. 1t is easy to keep such a
pen clean and sanitary in a city where
It can be flushed with a hose and
washed out every day or two.

otherwise is thrown away, just as 100
