Kitchener of Khartoum, England's
new secretary of state for war, is, as
such, the head of the British army.
Kitchener says the war will last three
years and he's ready to fight it out.
Earl Kitchener is now "a years old.
Though born in Ireland, in County
Kerry, in 1850, he is of English stock.
Everything that Kitchener is he
has made himself. A bachelor at ga,
public opinion has called him a wo-

ly ruler of Egypt, for he has. always
ignored the khedive-he would have
only bachelors about him. In the thir-
teen years war he waged in the Sou
dan, where he made his own mill
tary fame, he chose unmarried men
for leadership whenever he could.
81 don't want men around me who
are always thinking of their wives
and children" he said.
Black haired, with dark grey eyes
that suggest lowering war clouds, six
feet tall, and still straight as an'Egyp-
tan obelisk, he does not look like

because he hates women, as most
people believe. But because for years
he has loved one woman madly. And
she will not marry him.
This woman is Lady-Naylor-Ley-
and, born Jennie Chamberlain, Cleve-
land, O., and known to her intimates
as Morning Glory and one of a
group of American women who were
the intimate personal friends of the
late King Edward. Kitchener met the
lovely American woman four years
ago in Cairo when her husband was
still alive, and it is said that from
that moment no other woman has
existed for him.

Clean nests mean clean eggs.
Clean, fresh eggs spell clean profits.
All growing turkeys should have as
much grain as they will eat twice a
day.
The American hen laid 20,000,0OO-
900 eggs last year and had a good
right to cackle.
The hen, after laying an egg, needs
a drink of water. See that it is al
ways accessible.
An egg contains quite a large per-
centage of water, hence water must be
supplied in plenty.
AS fowls have no organs for masti-
cation. their food must be prepared
for digestion in the gizzard.
The cry now is for winter eggs.
The poultry keeper smart enough to
get them is the one who Is successful
HuduCfulIy.
Unslaksd lime, coal ashes or dry
dirt are good materials to scatter over
the floor and under the roosts after
good cleaning up.
Keep the hopper full OF dry mash
all of the time This gives the chick
ems an opportunity to balance the
grain rations fed.
Dressed poultry must now be OF uni
form size and color. and must be OF
good size. with a generous supply Of
meat on the breast.
The Guinea fowl Is growing in favor
as q market bird. the flesh coming
nearer to the flavor OF game than any
of our domestic poultry.
The hens should have place to
roost and It should not be over the
cows, on the farm implements and
buggies, or In the haymow.

MARKING THE EARLY LAYERS
Band Placed on Leg Of PuIlet Begin
ming to Lay In October Helps In
Selection OF Breeders.

The pullets that begin laying first
are as rule the best layers; 1t is
from these pullets and hens that we
should hatch our breeding birds. Col
ored leg bands are useful for marking
birds with special points; a red band
on the leg of each pullet that begins
to lay in October will make the selec-
ton of breeders next spring easier.
The Missouri state poultry experiment
station this year had fifty pullets bred
from good layers which began to lay
when a little over four months old In
every case the pullets that began to
lay first came from the highest laying
hens. OF the thirteen pullets that be-
gan laying first, three were Buzz Leg
horns. two Barred Plymouth Rocks.
four White Leghorns. one Ancona, one
Campine, one Rhinelander, and one
White Orpington. The Barred Rocks
and the White Orpington weighed
from three and a half to four pounds
each; all the others from two and
half to three and a fourth pounds
each.

ceased to chatter as the teeth were

back again, and searched the faces of

mirth or criticism. There was none.
