Will War Help v. S.?-Secretary
Lane believes the European war will
be of direct benefit to the American
people in making them realize to
greater extent the value Of their min
eral resources. 1T is entirely possi-
ble," he declared few days ago, TO
so utilize these resources and expand
our industries that the label Made in
America will become familiar to our
own and foreign markets"
Second only in Importance to the
food supply, according to Secretary
Lane, is the supply Of the necessary
mineral products to meet requirements.
"One Of the first effects Of the wal"
he said, has been to make us realize
the interdependence of nations in the
food supply. What we possibly have
not so fully realized is that we are
nearly as independent in essential min
eral resources, and that the interfer-
ence with manufacturing caused by
interruption of the flow Of importa- =
tions Of many Of the necessary raw
materials may be overcome almost
wholly by development Of neglected
resources in our own country"
Secretary Lane believes the United
States could very largely make itself
independent Of the rest of the world
in it's manufactures, the main difficult
ties to overcome being rearrangement
of the distribution system. The gov
ernment, he says, is doing all it can
under present laws to aid industry.

Rather leaky.-Did you ever wait in
a stuffy car while your engine went off
and forgot you? asks Young's Maga-
zine. In that case maybe you'll SYM
pathize with the hero of this amusing
story told by Tully Marshall:
1T was on an East Texas train. The
little coffee pot of an engine, having
wheezed laboriously over serpentine
rails, jolted to a restful spot at no
place in particular. Time passed tedi-
ously. Some Of the passengers stalked
nervously up and down the aisles,
while others drew their felt hats down
over their eyes and tried to forget it.
When a half hour had elapsed the
conductor came through.

LONG SIEGES OF HISTORY
Fortified Towns That Have Held Out
for Months AGAINST Odds.


The Franco -Prussian war of 1870
II was remarkable for its seiges, says
Tit-Bits. Bazaine held out at Metz
against the Germans for nearly two
months, and finally surrendered with
1000 officers and 10000 men. For
this he had to submit to court to
court martial. and was sentenced to
twenty years Imprisonment. After
ward came the siege Of Paris, which
lasted six months. Thousands of
shells were rained on the city every
day by the Germans. and no fewer
than 10000 of the inhabitants sue
cumed to disease and hunger. That
lengthy sieges are quite possible, even
in these days of huge guns, is illus
trated by Chukri Pashas gallant de-
fence of Adrianople last year. for
1855 days. Then there was the COM
paratively recent great siege of Port
Arthur in the Russo-Japanese war in
1904-05. which finally capitulated
after being blockaded by Admiral
Togo for 21O days. The name of Gen.
Stoessel will rank with those of the
greatest soldiers of modern times.
In Ottoman and Russian military
history there has never been a siege
like that of Plevna in 1877, when Os-
man Pasha defed the Russians for
l44 DAYS, and finally surrendered on
December 10, with 10000 men and
100 guns, owing to provisions and
ammunition running short. In the
same year, Kars, long the bulwarK
of the Ottoman empire in Asia. was
stormed by the Russians after siege
of five months. twenty-five years
earlier the fortress had been brilli-
antly defended for eight months
against the Russians by the Turks
under Gen. Williams, who had but
$4,000 men against $4,000.
Even these sieges, however, are
somewhat insignificant when compar-
ed with some others. The longest
siege occurred in the American civil
war, when the COnfederates defended
the town of Richmond for l,4S5 days
or Just over four years. Sebastopol
in the Crimean war, held out for
eleven months, while Gen. Gordon
defended KhartOum against the
Soundanese for 800 days. The siege
of Ladysmith, Kimberley and MAIZE
king. in the South African war, last
ed 12O. l23 and 261 days. respect
lively. There is probably. however
no siege which Britishers like II
read about so much as that carried
out by France and Spain in their en-
deavors to carry the Rock of Gibral-
tar. 1888. Altogether the siege
lasted nearly four years, and, as the
world knows, resulted in complete
triumph of British arms, in spite OF
the fact that the enemy numbered
80. 900 to 10000 men, while the de-
Tenders could only muster 1000.

1t was pretty generally understood
that Governor Blease had no sympa-
thy with the bond bill that passed last
Friday; but there was no certainty as
to whether he would approve it, veto 1t
or hold it three days 1t was foreseen
that if the governor should hoid the
bill three DAYS, he could certainly keep
it until yesterday, and some thought
that Sunday was not entitled to be
counted, and he could hold it until 10
o'clock today. At any rate it was clear
that there would be little or no time
for advertising or sending out of tick
cts. and the senate gave an order FOR
printing the tickets Friday night, ana
had them sent out so as to reach the
chairmen of the respective boards OF
commissioners on Sunday, yesterday
and today. 1t was not certain even
this morning that the bill had actually
become law.

PRODUCTION OF GOOD EGGS
Wisconsin Expert Emphasizes I'm.

Just because an egg is freshly laid
by IN apparently healthy hen It can
not be assumed that II Is n good egg,
according to James G. Halpln OF tho
College OF Agriculture OF the Unlver.
sity OF Wisconsin, who emphasizes the
need OF clean, wholesome food for tho
production OF flrst-class eggs. Hens
that are forced TO obtain the greater
portion OF their living as scavongers
and given a poor range TO work on
cannot produce eggs OF as good quality
as can a flock which regularly is fed
n good ration.
Eggs lacking In protein have n wa.
terry white and the shell Is apt TO bo
thin owing to the partial absence OF
lime. Such eggs. besides being OF less
value as food. are more than likely TO

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
Whltewash Improves Looks Of House
and ls Good Dlslnfectant-Give
Turkeys Free Range.
(By MRS. A. ]. WILDER.


Lime is very good thing to use
about the poultry houses. An occa-
sional coat Of white-wash on walls
and on the nest boxes greatly i'm
proves the looks of the house, besides
being a good dlsinfectant and vermin
killer.
Pullets Matched in April or the first
OF May, make late fall and winter
layers, and they are the ones that pay.
Hatch all you can Of them.
If a sitting hen leaves the nest, do
not throw away the eggs unless they
are cold. If you have another broody
hsn, put her on the nest. She will
finish the Matching, and it will save
her just SO much time, as we'll as saw
ing the eggs.
Give the little chicks skim milk to
drink. 1t is very good for them, as
well as for the older fowls. The more
milk your poultry drink, the less meat
1t will be necessary to feed them
Do not keep too many hens in one
flock. Much better results are OBJ
tanned from the smaller flocks and it
is the results that count.
II you want the pullets to mature
early, and begin laying at FIVE or six
months old, feed them properly and
well from the start. Give them a
properly balanced ration. and crowd

ROAST PORK WITH STUFFlNG
Too Substantial Dish for Hot
Weather, But There Still ls Time
to Enjoy II.

Before the weather gets too hot we
may like to have one more good roast
OF fresh pork. A fresh shoulder or
fresh ham will stuff to best advan-
tage. Select one not too large, make
large incision Just below the
knuckle between the skin and the
meat for the purpose of introducing
the stuffing, which must later be se-
cured by sewing up with small twine.
Then with sharp-polnted knife score
the leg all over and In the following
manner: With the left hand hold
the pork firmly and with the knife
score the skin across In parallel lines
quarter Of an inch apart. Roast for
about two hours and a half or three
hours, according to size, and when
done dish up with brown gravy and
send to the table with apple sauce.
The stuffing for the pork may be
thus prepared: Chop a dozen sage
leaves and six large onions and boil
these In water for three or four min
utes and put on sieve to drain;
then put In a stewpan with pepper
and salt and little butter and let
1t simmer for twenty minutes, when
II is ready to place in the leg of pork.
While this onion stufiing is possibly
more favored than dressing In
which cracker or bread is used, 1t
seems better to have the bone entire
ly removed and thus give room for a
good quantity of the real old fash
ioned bread stufflng.
A loin of pork may be stuffed with
the same preparation by making an
incision In the upper part of the loin
and after the stufIing is put in sew
ing up as you would the leg.

them as fast as you can. There Is
no need having to feed pullets from
eight to ten months, before getting
any returns.
Hasten the growth OF young cock
erels, by feeding them all they will
eat. Keep them fat enough for the
table all the time, and they will reach
the required weight for the market
much sooner. 1t is the earlier mar
kets that pay the best prices.
Don't make the mistake OF thinking
you can half feed your hens and make
a success OF the poultry business. The
wants OF the hens body comes first.
IL there Is any surplus II goes into
the eggs. Where there is no surplus
there are no eggs. 1t is your business
to provide enough food for the body
and the eggs.
III you are keeping hens for egg.pro-
duction only there is no need for keep
Ing any males. II costs about 81 to
feed each one, and their room might
better be given to that many moro
hens.
Turkeys must have free range in
order to do well. Do not keep them
closely confined. IL you have fed
them regularly. they will continue to
come up at that time for their feed.

HAVE REGULAR MENDlNG DAY
BY Employment Of System, Drudgery
Of Necessary Repairing May Large
ly Be Done Away With.

There is nothing in the world like
system, and nowhere does one realize
this more than In the matter Of dress -
Thus writes one woman, who thinks
that the woman who puts off mendlne

trouble for herself when the little hole
becomes undarnable The rip under
the arm in the blouse that hardly
shows when II is put on extends
alarmingly, and there is usually n day
OF reckoning for all put-off things OF
the same kind.
The remedy for this is a regular
mending day or a mendlng evening. II
a woman is engaged in business. Sc,
lect the best day for this purpose and
stick to It; you will be surprised to
find that your clothing will not only
look better but also last longer. As
soon as a garment needs mending put
It aside for the mendlng day that is
coming.
