Agent in Poultry Club Work.
Sell, Kill or Contine the "Roost-
err Beginning May 20, 1914.
Because ROSTERS are allowed to
run with laying hers during
wal M weather SIS, 100000 worth
of eggs are lost the farmers thru
out the United States each year;
and most of this loss occurs dur
ing June, July and August. For
this reason 1asers of poultry are
earnestly asked and urged to kill
or sell all matnred males or con-
fine them In pens away from the
laying hens during the sumner
Eggs that are laid by hens not
mated are sterile or inf.rt,le, and
do not decay The fertil zed eggs
spoil very quickly when subjected
to the influence Of heat aud if they
are lett to- long in the nests or
under broody hens or are left in
any very warm place the germ
cells begin-to develop, the chicks
beg to grow These growing
cells may die al any stage of de-
velopment due to unfavorable
conditions.
Whether the. embryo dies or
not, egg is useless as food and is
unfit for market. If the wives Of
the farmers would once realize
how much money they practically
lose by allowing the roos.eis to
run with the layers, they would
Immediately stop the practice.
Not one egg more is produce d
with male running with a flock
~
of hens than without one, and On
less the BOOSTERS are valuable S
breeders. tits far better to dispose
of them at the end of the bree ding
season AMI replace them with the
younger stock the following
spring. If we follow this plan we
can always have good, strong,
vigorous coekerels young roost-

UGLY BLAZE NEAR
THEL. c. YARDS
Fire Destroys Three Houses
In Pratt City Italian
Settlement

Fire in the 'thickly populated Italian
settlement between East Thomas, near
the Illinois Central railroad yards, at an
early hour this morning destroyed three
houses and a general store. The loss is
estimated at $1,000 and is said to be COW
cred by insurance.
The fire. was discovered about 1870
o'clock and some of the residents of the
village ran to the office of the foreman
of the Illinois Central shops from where
alarm was telephoned in. North Bir-
mingham and Fountain Heights stations
answered the CALL.
When the firemen arrived, the store
and one of the houses had already
burned almost to the ground and two
nearby houses had just caught from the
sparks carried by the heavy wind. The
efforts of the firemen were mainly di-
rected at preventing the spread of the
flames, and despite all they could do, it
appeared at one time as If the whole
village would be destroyed. However,
the firemen finally gained control of the
flames, but 1t was stated that they would
have to remain on the scene the rest of
the night to prevent further outbreaks by
sparks.

AUSTRIANS ADMIT
DEFEAT AT HANDS
OF SERVIAN ARMY:
RETAKE BELGRADE
CONTINUED from Page one)

Poland lies in the fact that the blood
kindred are pitted against each other.
There are several hundred thousand
Poles in the Russian ranks and several
hundred thousand more in the ranks of
the Germans and Austrians.
Germans Claim Gain
The Germans claim a distinct gain in
their position In northern Poland, al
though they are not believed to be as
near Warsaw as the report last week in
dicated. On the other hand, the Rus
slams announce a strategic re-alignment
of their forces in that field which
strengthens their positions
In a late report tonight the Austrians
announce they have reoccupied the i'm
portant point of Dukla, north of the Car
pathians. on line south of Przemysl and
Cracow, but nearer to the former, with
the capture of 5000 prisoners.
The main issue in the eastern theatre
whether the German and Austrian ar
mics by the German operations In north
ern and central Poland and the Austrian
advance across the Carpatrians, will
shake the Russian grip from Przefflys
and Cracow ortresses-remains I'M
changed.
The day has shown no important de-
velopment in the west. The French wa.
office reports artillery engagements IN
which they had the better of the Ger
mans and small advances, particular,
in the neighborhood of Verdun and ST
Mihiel. In accordance with General Jof-
fre's famous scheme of fnibbling nj
them" The German bulletins deny THESE
claims, however.
The troops in France and Belgium
are suffering from a plague of mud
and damp which causes them more dis
comfort than did the cold wave at the
end of November with its positive
hardships of frozen feet and hands
and effectually vetoes any movements
on big scale. In some ways, however
life in the trenches of the allies is
easier than before. Since they have beer

an audience more wrapt than that

Miss Schnitzer is dazzling, but some
