Belgian reservists are today the
busiest Of all the would-be warriors
In Detroit. They win leave tonight
for New York city. whence they will
sail for Belgium on the aderland Of
the Red Star line. Saturday morning.
Theophile Francois, consul for the
Belgian government here, received
word. Wednesday, both from the
country's ambassador In Washington
and from the general consul In New
York. The message from Washing
tom notified him TO furnish oil re-
servists with railway tickets to the
nearest port with vessels sailing for
Belgium. The one from the general
consul gave information as TO the
departure Of the aderland and the
provision made for sending the re-
seryists ON tt.
The troops viii leave at 6:16
o'clock on the Michigan Central rail-
road A special car has been char
tered for the party which numbers
about $50. Many applications for
passage we're made to the consul
Thursday morning. by men who are
not reservists, but he declined. to
send them since his orders do not
authorize Il. Considerable confusion
was caused by the fact that there are
two ships with almost the same
names. the Vaterland which belongs
TO the Hamburg-American line and
the vadsrland Of the Red Star line. II
II on the Red Star Line boat that the
Belgians expect TO sail.
The confusion was added to by the
fact that Mr.. Francois received mo-
tice from the Red Star line not TO
sell tickets on the vaderland: that It
would not sail. Later he got word
men on and that arrangements had
been made for their passage on the
vaderland. Mr.. Francois II acting In
accordance with the orders Of the
general consul.

BEST USE OF CORN FODDER
How to Prepare and Feed It.
JAMES 3. MORMON.

Corn Is an excellent feed for live
stock. both grain and stalks being fed
to advantage. but in feeding It care
must be taken to get the best results.
The grain Is concentrated source Of
nutriment. palatable, easily masticat-
ed and readily digested and assimilat-
ed, but for dairy cows. corn should
never make up more than one-half to
three-fifths of the concentrate part Of
the ration. It needs roughage as corn
stalks or hay fed with it. for corn is
poor In protein, but rich in digestible
carbohydrates. So for dairy cows. corn
should be ground and fed with bran
middlings or ground oats which are
richer in protein.
Live Stock Thrive on 1t.
Corn fodder is the name given to the
whole plant harvested with the ears
on the stalks. The nutritive ratio Of
corn fodder has been ascertained to be
about / to lis. SO that some higher
protein feed is necessary to properly
balance it to get the good results, and
either alfalfa or clover has been found
excellent for the purpose In tests
with sheep the Massachusetts station
has shown that different varieties of
corn fodder, while varying slightly In
digestibility. are good for fattening
purposes. At the Manitoba expert
ment farm corn fodder was fed to
steers. and it proved to be more prof
table roughage than oat sheaves.
Where small numbers of stock are
kept. good results may be obtained by
feeding cut corn fodder moistened with
hot water and allowed to stand for
twenty -four hours. The concentrated
feeds. such as cottonseed meal. can
be mixed with this mass and the cat
tie will eat it readily and waste little.
In fact. 1t is better and safer to use
with cottonseed meal than dried fod-
der or hay.
Corn fodder may also be fed to
horses. but one-third Of the bulk Of
the ration should be made up Of some
other material. preferably red clover
or alfalfa. Avoid feeding soft corn.
which is injurious to horses. As a
matter of fact, corn slower is to be
preferred to corn fodder for horses.
with slight addition Of some concen
trate feed. Shredding the stover is
neither necessary nor desirable.
The name corn slower is applied to
the stalk after the ear Of corn has
been removed. Slower may be fed to
dairy cows with good results. particu-
Iarly if the slower Is shredded and mix
ed with cut alfalfa or bran, oats. bar
ley or peas. thus providing valuable
and cheap feed. Shredding adds value
as it is more easily handled and stor-
ed and readily eaten by stock.

In the days of Moses the mind Of man
had not been disturbed by the vexing
problems of today, like tariff, currency,
intervention and the rights of women
and children. Despite the verdict of the
English Militants, women will ever rule
the world more satisfactorily by love
than by force.
1t would be both interesting and profit
able to search through the writings Of
Moses and see what he says relative to
the subject of social purity. The volu-
minous lectures now being delivered to
boys, girls, men and women separately
may be summed up IN single sentence,
obey natures laws. As is often remark
ed the laws of life should be observed
for generations before we are born.
Each of us suffer much for the sins of
our ancestors. We have inherited traits
and characteristics as we'll as acquired
ones of both body and mind. If man
is to purchase an animal he is careful to
examine the pedigree for generations
back, but he will marry wife without
knowing anything of one of her relatives.
Inherited tendencies may be success
fully covered up for years, but in mo-
ment of weakness they will break forth
with such violence as to deluge every
thing. Whatever is characteristic in the
family is apt to appear in the progeny.
Alexander Graham Bell is studying
Eugenics with the same energy which he
displayed in the invention of the tele-
phone. He says: ''Young men of most
brilliant intellectual attainments are able
to secure support for life, on condition
of celebacy, in some British Universities.
The moment they marry they lose their
fellowship. Public interest demands that
these be granted on condition of mar
rage and raising family instead of
celebacy. Civilized nations vanish from
the earth because of the greater tend
ency to reproduction among the lower or
less desirable classes.
Less civilized people rise because the
reproduction is by all classes and large
part of the less desirable class fail to
survive. During the middle ages many
of the more submissive type became
celebrates, hence free thinkers became
predominant and we have the reforma-
ton. Moses not onlytaught social purity,
but he taught the principles of reproduc-
ton so thoroughly that the race he mold
ed into a nation has survived while
others have been rising and falling

That soils are active has long since
been an established fact. and from
these facts attention has been attract
Cd for several years past to the reIa-
ton of the minute living organisms of
soil to the nutrition Of plants.
My own experiments with soil mi.
crobes during the last ten years, In
which the microbes of nitrifcation
have been grown in every variety of
liquid and solid media and In different
soils, have given convincing results as
to their value in assimilating and stor-
ing nitrogen for plant food.
With nitrate Of soda at sixty odd
dollars per ton and the end of the
worlds supply within sight of the
present generation. this knowledA has
not come too soon. Without nitrogen
plants will not grow, and few soils
contain enough to produce maximum
or even fair crops Of cereals. 1t Is the
most expensive element Of fertilizers
and In an available form for plants
the most difficult to obtain. except
through the Intervention Of microbes
Yet nature has not been so lavish in
her supply of any other element nee
essary to plant growth. as something
like $4,000 tons of free nitrogen of the
air rests on every acre of land. While
scientists have been devising means by
which atmospheric nitrogen could be
combined by electricity into plant
food. microbes-the minutest form Of
plant life-have been quietly at work.
They have been working for nothing.

have been gathering nitrogen from air

THE WOODEN HEN
How She Rears Her Chicks.
e. X. PARKINSON.

In buying new brooders there should
be great care as to selection and Il
strict observance Of rules regulating
temperature. Breeders before being
used should be cleaned, scrubbed dis
infected inside and out, lamp fues
cleaned. outside painted, then put in
the sun to air and dry and also new
w1cks bought and used for each hatch.
Now to find good location. An In
door brooder should be kept in warm
place where temperature never goes
below freezing An outdoor one should
be in sunny place. for sun Is very es-
sential.
The House In Order.
The brooder placed, cover floor and
the hover with an inch of dry sand. on
top of which Except under hover and
for foot in front of it, spread finely
cut clover or hay for about an inch.
Light the lamp, or stove. whichever ii
may be- regulating the temperature ac-
cording to directions so the heat where
the chicks sleep is between 95 and 9S
degrees the first week, gradually drop
ping to 80 degrees by the fourteenth
day and to so degrees the twenty first
day. Leave the newly hatched chicks
in the incubator nursery thirty-siX
hours, then transfer them in a warm
lined basket to the brooder (evening is
the best tme,, providing small drink

this. the second day. sprinkle chick
feed.
The first three days keep chicks
near the hover. pushing them back
under it after each meal until they
are used to it. The fourth day stop
the nursery food, feeding scratch feed.
throwing it in the clover. and start
green food. though sparingly, and avoid
sour or frozen feed or musty grain. for
they are certain death. After the sixth
day begin feeding meat scraps in small
quantities. an ounce fed twice daily in
feed hoppers. The following success
full method of feeding is excellent:
Over the cut clover spread ten pounds
of chick feed. covering with two more
inches of clover and ten pounds more
of feed. and so on. until there are
eight inches Of litter and sixty pounds
of feed. This. with meat scraps and
green food lasts about five weeks. and
reared in this way chicks will prov.
sturdy. healthy and possess great vi
tality.
