hatred of Great Britain and to create
the impression that John Bull is con-
trolling Wilson and his policy.
There would be no objection to any

Some journalists are like lawyers.
They are for sale to the highest bid

are the same.
1 think the entire tendency of the
Hearst newspapers is vile, suggestive,
indecent and vicious.
There are many who believe it was
this kind of journalism that inspired
the murder of Mckinley.
1t may infame the imagination of
some mentally unbalanced creature
with the fancy that the president is
betraying his country, and the poor
maddened creature may think he has

HER SOLDIERS ARE SHORTER
But Austria Takes More Care In Sc.

Vienna, Austria.-The new recruit
Ing law of the Austro-Hungarian
forces stipulates a height of at least
five feet for men to be enlisted in the
ordinary rank and file of the terrific
rial forces or of the navy, while for
those men who will work in the work.
shops or arsenals or in the Offices as
clerks, the minimum height will be
n inch less than five feet. Further
more, the new requirements pay in
creased attention to the ~antecedents
Of the men, especially the mental his
tory, and a history of previous epilep-
tic attacks or mental instability will
make the man ineligible for the serv-
ice. In the last year, when, owing to
the uncertainty of the political situa-
ton, preparations for war included the
recruiting of large numbers of men
from apparently underfed districts, it
was noted hat persons otherwise
quite healthy did not reach the height
limit. These would be lost if the old
law should continue in force.
AT any rate says the Vienna cor
respondent of the Journal of the
American Medical Association, even

SUCCESS WITH SMALL FRUIT
knowledge 9. market Requirements.
Executive Ability and Expert
cnce Are Necessary.

To successfully harvest and market
a crop Of sl.all fruit requires business
ability of nc mea order.
Because a person is successful in
growing fruit it does not necessarily
imply that he will make a success OF
the harvesting and selling part OF the
business. Still there is nothing about
the WORK that should discourage the
uninitiated.
The principal characteristics called
into play are, a knowledge of market
requirements. executive ability, expe.
rience and knowledge as to the char.
a~cteristics of the different kinds and
varieties Of fruits
One of the first things TO consider
is the market, whether local, semi
local or distant. For long-distance
shipping. only those varieties that are
noted for firmness and bookkeeping
qualities should be used, and these
muEt be picked before they are at
their highest state OF ripeness.
With nearby or local markets, how.
ever. the question becomes one Of size
and quality rather than one Of firm.
ness though firmness is desirable in
any case. 1t is often an advantage to
grade s~tra berries and if this is done
it should be done by the pickers as
they are removed from the vines. The
grade should be made uniform
throughout the package. but the tor
layers may be turned calyx down,
greatly enhancing the attractiveness
OF the fruit. The package should be
full.
To oversee a dozen or fifteen pick.
ers is no small task. To secure the
best work The oyerseer should be in
the field among the pickers. Among
the number will be those who will
need watching. 1t is a good plan to
reward the faithful ones at the close
OF the season. In general. generous
treatment in dealing with pickers is
returned four-fold in better service
rendered.
The growers whose style Of culture
is up-to-date. that is to say. plenty Of
room for each plant so that the Der.
ries r large and no weeds or grass
in the way, SO that the berries may
be easily and quickly gathered, will
usually have no trouble in securing
pickers. He has first choice for Of
course, every one will want to pick
where picking is best.
Picking berries is at best a tedious.
~back-aching job. It takes grit to stick
to it day by day. hczca 1t is that the
task should be made &C agreeable q.

FRESH AIR REQUIRED
OXYGEN is DOURLY IMPORTANT
DURING THE NIGHT.
Many Advantages Seen in Use Of Open
Front Misunderstanding Shed Is
Kept Dry During Vet Wealth
er-Hens Keep Clean.

How 1t ever came to happen that
chickens came to be confined in small,
close, ill-yentilated houses during the
long hours of night, it is hard to i'm
agine.
Perhaps 1t was the result Of mans
effort to domesticate the wild fowls.
He had to make many changes in the
habits of the birds, and it was natural
for him to do SO along the lines Of his
convenience and in imitation OF his
own conditions.
II he and lis family spent the night
indoors with as little fresh air as pos
sible admitted into the rooms, why
was not that tue proper plan to pur-
sue with his hens?
Oxygen is needed even more at
night than in the daytime, and a chick
ems night is a long affair. especially
during the winter time. when it goes
to bed at $50. and is UP at $50 or Z
a. m. So if fresh air is important. 1t
certainly is doubly so at night. and
the open houses provide for this very
nicely.
There are many kinds OF fresh air
houses in use at the present time;
those that have a canvas or burlap
curtain are not truly open-front
houses, except when the curtain is
withdrawn.
The best open-front is covered with
wire netting on one side or at least
the greater part o. one side. The
open side should face the south. so
as to admit the sunshine as well as
the fresh air.
AS this is the storm side, the end
Of the house occupied by the rcosts
should have a ava frame fitted
over the upper part. leaving all the
rest Of the front that is occupied by
the scratching pea, etc. open TO the
weather. as the protecting caves or
slanting roofs are sufficient to keep
out the rain and eXcess OF sunshine.
The advantages Of this way Of hous-
ing chickens are many. and it pre-
yides a we~ll-ventilatcd scratching
shed. which is a big item during the
"lIlleI, anu IL more even EN- pStdiHIG
during all seasons OF the year
During wet and muddy weather. the
scratching shed. which remains dry,
prevents the fowls from bringing mud
into the nest boxes en- their feet, and
dirty eggs do not bring as ready q
sale as the clean ones, and washed
eggs lose their gloss, and that outer
film from the shell. which admits the
air more freely to the inner part OF
the shell. causing it to spoil more
readily.
The open-front houses remain com
paratiyely dry during the wet weather,
end frost accumulates on the in
side. SO that litter remains dry for a
long time, and droppings are more
easily cleaned. There is no danger of
the fowls taking cold as one would
seem to fear. Such troubles come from
impure air. produced by long damp
ness o. draughts.
The pure air gives them resisting
power against roup. throat or similar
troubles. as it adds TO their yigor.
These houses are now being tried in
places where the weather is very Sc
we're in the winterfime. and no bad
results have yet been reported.
