DEMAND ON MoRconl COMPANY.
Station at Honolulu Charged With
Violating NeutraIities.

Washington, Oct. 16-Rear Admiral
Moore. commandant OF the naval sta
ton at Honolulu, was ordered today to
close the Marconi wireless station
there within twenty-four hours unless
the company gave satisfactory eN-
planation OF the sending of a wireless
dispatch announcing the arrival of the
German gunboat Geier.
Admiral Moore has reported the
sending of the messages during the
naval officers on duty at the station as
a censor. The gunboat had just ar
rived from Using Tau conveying the
German steamer Lookson, which had
been pressed into service as a collier.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt re-
garded the transmission of this dis
patch as clear violation of neutral

GERMAN LEFT WING
DRIVEN BACK SLOWLY
SEVERE FIGHTING DUNG PAST
WEEK At EASTERN END OF
LONG LINE.
ALLIES ALMOST WITHIN RANGE
OF CANNON OF METZ FORTS
More important Developments Predict
ed by Freneh-Lines Of communiea-
ton Of Crown Princes Army Mem
aced by Recent Advance Of Allies
Daring Exploits Related.

Paris. Oct. 16.-The steady hammer
wing on the French battle front has
brought them almost within cannon
range of tho forts of Metz. In spite OF
this menace part Of the German crown
princes army hangs on doSgedly to
the position it has taken on the Meuse
near st. Mihiel. The fighting on this
end Of the long battle line is said to
have been desperate during the last
week, tho overshadowed for the time
by the operations on the allies left.
More important developments, how
ever, are looked for between the Meuse
and the Moselle, while the battle of
the four rivers goes on in the west.
In the early days Of the war the Ger
mans seemed to have the advantage OF
the allies in the equipment and hand
ling of machine guns. In this hilly.
wooded country the French have
shown that they can also use them
with great effect. The German rush
thru the Argonne forest as we'll as IN
the hills of Woevre met with a telling
force of Gatlings from tree tops, where
guns were so cleverly concealed that it
was impossible to detect them. and
every effort to regain lost ground cost
dearly and failed.
The French Alpine contingent distin
guished itself in this rough country.
German Lines Threatened.
The French are now in possession Of
the route from Nancy to Metz as far
as Dagny on the Lorraine border, and
menace the route from Verdun to
Metz in the neighborhood Of Eatin, en-
dangering communication of the crown
princes army with the German forth
fled camp.
Besides the chasseurs, the 14sth
French infantry has covered itself with
glory. After taking a village at the
point Of the oay6net the infantrymen
were obliged to abandon the place be-
cause Of a murderous artillery fire.
They went back to the attack on the
following day, retook the village and
held it in spite of continual lombard
ment.
Az entire German brigade was sent
20 dislodge them, but the 149th held
the position. inflicting a singing de-
feat on their assailants and taking $50
prisoners.
Another Thrilling Exploit.
Al another solidly- y-entrenched vii
lage the same regiment swept deter
:nindedly forward, digging in step by
step until they got right up to the
trenches of the enemy. which they
carried gallantly at the point of the
bayonet, thus gaining point needed
for the support OF the entire army.
For this exploit the regiment has been
named in orders.
Alsace continues also the scene of
daily struggles for the possession of
points of vantage. the result of which
It is difficult to ascertain, as fortunes
vary so rapidly. Towns are taken and
retaken repeatedly. The Germans
have profited by the weakening of the
French forces to gain ground the! had

FEW PECULIARITIES
OF SWARMING BEES
Old Queen With Half of Workers
Leaves Old Home and Starts
New Colony.
CBy FRANCIS JAEGER.)

Bees increase by swarming, or d.
viding one large colony of bees into
two. The old queen with about half
Of the bees leaves the old home and
starts a new colony somewhere else.
The young queen will take charge of
the old home as soon as she matches.
Long before swarming-time bees be-
gin to make preparations for it. First
they raise a large number of drones
or male bees, from which some day
the young queen may choose her mate
When later the colony increases in
strength the queen lays from eight to
twenty eggs in especially prepared
wax cells called queen cells.
The egg laid in a, queen cell, being
a common worker egg, will hatch into
a larva which the bees will feed abun-
dainty on royal jelly" This special
food and the large cell will make the
egg develop a queen. The ninth day
the wormlike larva which matches
from it, with porous cap. The queen
cell at this time is not unlike a pea
nut in appearance. AS soon as the
first queen cell is capped over, a sign
is given and the old queen with her
workers leaves the hive.
After circling in the air for while
the swarm settles upon some tree or
shrub and sends out scouts to find
new home for them. and the old queen
never again sees her old home or her
children, and even If starving to death
she will not go back to the old house
for one drop of honey.

MAINTAIN FERTILITY
BY STOCK RAISING
Barnyard Manure and Good
Phosphate Produce Excellent
Results, Used Together.

All the grains, when sent to mar.
ket, carry away from the farm plant
food taken from the soil The same is
true of milk, poultry and poultry prod
ucts, cattle, sheep and swine. There
is steady and ceaseless outward cur
rent of the elements of fertility. Ev-
cry load of hay, vegetables and fruits
means a loss of ammonia, phosphoric
acid and potash.
In trying to replace fertility lost by
the never-ceasing sale of products, the
farmer uses barnyard manure. This
material contains less of the three
elements of plant food above men.
toned than the crops extract from
the soil. 1t is evident, therefore, that,
sooner or later, a complete cemmer-
cial fertilizer, furnishing ammonia
phosphoric acid and potash must be
bought In order to make good these
losses.
This is why commercial phosphates
came into existence.
Barnyard manure and a good phos-
plate produce excellent results when
used together.
A typical artificial manure or phos-
phate for grain may be said to con-
tain per cent of ammonia, s per
cent Of available phosphoric acid and
2 to per cent of potash.

Any man who persistently breeds
his gifts too young will find the quality
of his breed steadily deteriorating.
Select your brood pigs from the
largest litters, as they are generally
better breeders and better feeders.
No matter what the subsequent use
of the pig on the farm is to be his
early development should be carefully
guarded.
When the green corn comes along a
little later, do not stuff young pigs
all they will eat or thumps will be the
result.
A SOW that suckles a big litter Of
hungry pigs needs a great deal Of
nourishing feed, but some farmers
never seem to learn that fact.
The farmer not prepared with WOW.
en- wire fencing, with ample alfalfa
or clover pastures, is not properly
prepared for the economical produc-
ton of pork.
Newly purchased hogs should be
carefully examined for vermin and
should not be turned out with the herd
until they are known to be free from
these pests.
Certainly a good forage crop for the
hogs is one Of the most profitable
crops swine breeder can raise espe-
cially when one considers the fact
they will harvest it without cost
The main points to be looked after
to be successful with hogs are good
shelter, warm, dry bed, freedom from
lice and worms, plenty of good drink
ing water and nourishing food at regu.
lar hours.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-07-10

Hogs are fond of sugar beets and
thrive on them.
Mango is mainly caused by filth in
the sleeping quarters.
In the hot weather hogs should have
good pasture and little grain.
Sunlight is a natural tonic for the
little pigs and they revel in it.
The feeding pals should be
scrubbed and scalded every day.
Young pigs that are weaned should
be fed four or five times each day.
We do not believe in dosing hogs
with medicine except in serious cases.
Beware of the sway-back pig, no
matter If all the other points are good.
The hog is an economic accessory
on the well managed diversified farm.
Reading other peoples opinions oft
en- shows US how far off we are in our
own.
Hogs thrive best when clean, and
they will always keep clean If given
the chance.
Excellence is the result of hard la
Dor and paying attention to little de-
tails in pig raising.
1t is a bad practise to take all the
pigs from the SOW at once. She should
be dried up gradually,
Just because it is only hog, do not
forget that clean, pure water is more
acceptable than slime.
Give plenty of range, clean pens,
clean feed, clean water and the hog
will as a rule take care OF itself.
Select your brood pigs from the
largest filters as they are generally
better breeders and better feeders.
