THE OLD WORLD WAR
FROM DAY TO DAY

OF Egypt by the Turks would not
give Germany the immediate as
sistance she 50 greatly desires.
Sound strategy requires that the
allies keep purely on the defen-
sive In Egypt, and even permit
the Turks to secure hold In the
country. rather than withdraw any
considerable force from the Euro
pean armies for Egyptian employ
ment.
These factors In the situation
indicate that II German influence
at Constantinople continues to be
paramount, the main Turkish
strength will be used against Rus
sia. Above everything else. Ger
many now needs Turkeys help to
prevent the Slave overrunning
German territory. II Russia can
be induced to divide her offensive
strength and employ a large part
of II against Turkey. there Is a
fair chance that no serious inva-
sion Of Germany by the remain
ing Russian armies win be pos
sible.
To accomplish this result Is
doubtless the prime objective for
which Germany Is working In Con-
stantinople. How absolute the
kaiser's dictates may be at Yildiz
Kiosk IL an uncertain matter. The
temptation to recover Egypt and
the lost Balkan territory may
prove too powerful for the Turks
to resist, once the war fever de-
velops. Such an eventuality, by
diverting Turkish strength from
the Russian campaign, would be
to Germany's serious military dis
advantage. The Turk has ever
been an untrustworthy ally, but.
II Turkey IL beaten. there remains
the flnai German consideration OF
making the disposal Of CONSTANT
nople an apple Of discord when
the fruits Of victory are being d.
vided at the peace conference.

HENS DURING EARLY WINTER
Fowls on Range All Summer Should
Be Turned Out In Yards for Elk
ercise on Pleasant Days.

Consider that the birds which have
been on the range all summer will
miss the abundance of fresh air
during the first weeks of confinement,
and turn them out in the yards for
exercise every pleasant day, allowing
them to stay there as long as they
wish, and while they are out take the
opportunity to throw open all the
doors and windows, to obtain thor
ough ventilation and to purify the
house. If there is no scratching shed
arrange some plan whereby the house
can be made as light as possible
during the day, and especially so that
plenty of sunlight will scatter itself
over the floor
Above all things see that the floor
Is dry at all times, particularly if it
is an earthen floor. If it gets too
damp this will invariably mean a bad
cold. Then see that the food consists
of as great variety as possible.

GARBAGE NOT GOOD FOR HENS
Anything Average Restaurant Cannot
Use Is Questionable Food for
Fowls or Swine.
(Rv M. x ROYER1


A poultry book recommends that
those living near hotels should ar
range for the garbage, stating that in
it there is such variety Of food that
it will be of untold value to hens.
The fact is that anything the aver.
age restaurant will refuse to tumble
up for their customers is questionable
food for either fowls or hogs.
In the summer this refuse, when re-
moved once day, is unspeakably foul,
and the one who removes or handles it
needs the nose of a scavenger.
Fermented and decaying refuse from
such places is dangerous, even to
handle. In this garbage" is often
found pickles, sour cabbage, tainted
meat and other stuffs-even including
coffee grounds-ft only for the ma
nure pile.
We cannot be too careful about what
we feed out to stock. Fowls should
have perfectly sound food or they will
not enjoy perfectly sound health.

ATTENTION TO LATE MATCHES
Must Have Proper Feeding and Care
to Mature Before Cold Weather.
Give Birds Free Range.

What is demanded by the late
Matched stock of all kinds is the prop
Ell feeding and care to mature it before
cold weather arrives. That all of the
birds will mature is out of the ques-
ton If they are compelled to shift al
together for themselves on the range.
They will grow some, it is true, but
they will not grow as rapidly as they
should if they are to reach maturity
before winter appears. To induce a
rapid growth, the young birds require
COCO feeding and housing at all times.
This does not mean that the late
Matched pullets should be penned up
and FED all the food they will consume.
Rather they should be encouraged to
forage every day when the weather
permits, so that they may derive the
exercise necessary to keep them in
good physical condition. But in con-
nection with what food they can pick
up Oh the range at this time regular
feeding morning, noon and night
should be practiced.

Horticultural
0iCzAW5W':
~STAGHEAD" OF FRUIT TREES
Cause May Be Due TO Various IN
favorable conditions-Top-Graft-
ing Is Sometimes Necessary.

Very frequently apple trees and
some varieties of shade trees are seen
with the topmost branches dead and
remaining as dry sticks like antlers
projecting above the foliage. This
condition may be due to various I'M
favorable conditions, but it is chiefly
encountered with old trees which have
long remained unsprayed, unpruned,
uncultivated and unfertilized. This
allows opportunity for wood destroy
ing fungi to gain an entrance. Once
started their growth will eventually
destroy the whole tree. Severe head
ing back and clearing out of the dead
and fungus infested wood followed by
cultivation and fertilization should be
resorted to. In some instances 1t may
be necessary to top-graft to renew the
head of the tree. The full results of
such treatment do not show the first
year. Great care should be taken not
to leave wounds through which the
spores Of fungi can gain an entrance
to cause future decay.
During the past few years a large
number of shade trees in the north
eastern part Of the United States, and
also the middle states have been af-
fected with staghead. The trouble
appears to have come chiefly from the
root system, but exactly what causes
it, is not definitely known at the pres
ent time.
There are many varieties of shade
trees affected in this way, and this
means their ultimate destruction, since
those that do not die outright will
never recover their tops, and are,
therefore, worthless as specimens of
shade trees. This dying back is par
ticularly noticeable on elms.
A characteristic feature of trees af-
fected with staghead, more conspicu-
GUS in slowly dying trees, may be seen
in the increase of the heartwood and
decrease of the sapwood The wood
of the dying trees is very brittle, and
the limbs and branches fall off easily.
Old trees reaching the end of their
grand period of growth, usually show
the same Characteristic and for this

SIMPLE HOUSE FOR POULTRY
Warmth viii Always Be Prime Fac
tor in Egg Production-Benefit
of PIastered Walls.

The simplest poultry house is the
best Better results have been OBJ
tanned by using the old and we'll
known plan of having a house eight
feet in front and six feet in the rear,
ten or twelve feet square, with a win
dow on the south side, than from any
other, and such house costs but lit
tie, holding a flock of from a dozen
to twenty fowls. The poultry house
for a cold climate may be plastered,
as warmth will always be prime fac
tor in egg production in winter, and
the plastered walls will be of i'm
mense advantage in preventing lice
from hiding in summer. One Of the
points to observe is that a good shed
is better in summer than a close
house and will cost but little. 1t must
be tight at the back and sides, as
drafts Of air, even in warm seasons,
will do damage. Fowls can endure
cold weather or stand the warmest
days in summer, but will not thrive
where drafts Of air come on them at
night. The cost of a poultry house
is the matter that causes the begin
ner to consider. 1t is not necessary
to bother about ventilators and other
appliances. Make the house as sim
pie in design as possible, and the
cost will be a minimum and the fowls
comfortable. Get a hardy breed,
leave the doors and windows open at
night, clean frequently, so as to pre-
vent foul odors, use plenty of white
wash, and the fowls will not be I'M
thrifty in cheap house.

remember that as long as the outside

however, the doors should be shut.
