LONDON, Aug. H. -CNIidnight--Delayed
by Censor 1.-The most imporsant revela-
ton of the day has beer that OF the
landing of a British expeditionary army
on the shores of France. Everybody in
England, has known for two weeks that
a large army was crossing the channel
The troops had been assembled at diff
ferent bases, one OF the largest contin-
gents embarking at Dublin, Ireland. Many
other regiments sailed from Liverpool
while still others took ship at East
Bourne, Southampton and other ports
along the coast of the English channel.
The great canvas camps of the military
stations in England were struck only
when 1t was known definitely that the
flotilla of transports conveying the
troops had finished the oversee move
ment under the escort of strong squad
rons of warships.
Lasts Several Days.
The transportation of the soldiers lasted
several days and during that time not a
mention of the expedition was permitted
to the newspapers here. Even now the
strength of the expedition, the names Of
the regiments composing the contingents
and the ports where they landed are not
allowed to be made public.
1t is known, however that large pro-
portion of the best troops of the British
regular army are now on continental soil.

ground grain mixture in a self feeding
hopper is always before them: Two
parts corn meal, two parts wheat bran,
one part wheat middlings and two
parts beef scrap. For grain food the
fowls get two feelings a day, morning
and night, of an equal mixture of
cracked corn. wheat and oats. Oc-
casionally a little of their dry ground
grain mixture is moistened with sour
milk. They relish this and the more
they eat during the growing period,
without overfeeding. the larger they
grow. Water and milk are before them
all the time in separate dishes.
Two weeks before marketing they

practiced by every man raising live
stock on the farm. If this advice
should be followed by that large class
who are handling almost entirely scrub
and grade stock, millions in value
would be added to the live stock in
dustry. This rule or advice is, briefly
stated, to use pure bred sires-good,
pure bred sires-and never stop using
pure bred sires. The following out
faithfully of this rule would mean that
every animal produced on the farm
would have a greater value when
grown out than under the present
system of using scrub animals for
breeding purposes.
In some classes of stock the use of
the pure bred sire has been much more
generally followed than in Others The
most noticeable departure from the
rule is in connection with the raising Of
cattle. The average man with small
herd of cows feels that he cannot
afford to purchase pure bred sire cost
ing from 500 to $50; as matter of
fact, ne can hardly afford to use any
other kind of a sire than such one
as would cost such a price. Five dol
lars would easily be added to the sell
ing prices of every calf produced as a
result of using sire of this kind. The
increased value of one crop of calves
would more than pay for the whole
cost of the sire. 1t should not be for
gotten. either, that a first class beef
bull, for instance, after being kept for
a few years, has a market value as
beef, oftentimes amounting to 500.

WEAVING THE LAMBS.
Youngsters Should Be Taken From
Ewes Before Breeding Time.

Ewes Before Breeding Time.
Prepared by University of Wisconsin,
Lambs should be weaned when from
So says Frank Kleinheinz, shepherd of
the Wisconsin university flocks.
Many flockmasters allow the lambs
to run with their mothers until breed
ing time. This Mr.. kleinheinz regards
as very Objectionable, for it annoys
the ewes and keeps them in poor condi-
ton. Moreover, at this time the lambs
get but little milk. and they will really
do better without it
When taken from their mothers the
lambs should be put on a piece of
fresh pasture, which will help to avoid
much of the stomach worm trouble.
After weaving time the ewes should
be put on scant pasture for about
week in order to dry them up quickly.
During this period they should be milk
ed a few times to prevent the udder
from caking. and as soon as they are
fairly dry they ought to be placed on
good pasture again. where they will
put on flesh and become strong and
vigorous before they are bred in the
fall.
Early weaving and good care of the
ewes after the lambs are taken away
enable the ewes to go into winter
quarters in good condition. thus aiding
winter feeding and insuring large
crop of strong lambs in the spring.

FINISHING SOFT
ROASTERS FOR SALE

For several years l have had charge
of large western farm where each
year close to 1000 roasters are han
died. writes a correspondent of the
Country Gentleman. We set our incu-
bators in July and August At this
season of the year the fertility is from
20 to so per cent. not quite so high as
during the natural incubation season.
These late Matched chicks mature at
just about the right time for the East
er trade, when nice, juicy soft roast
er commands almost any price.
All spring hatched cockerels that are
too late for the broiler trade are ca
ponized during the months of Au.
gust, September, October and Novem-
Der. After being caponized they grow
larger. their meat stays soft longer and
they command higher prices.
All the pullets Matched during July
rooster trade To many this may
seem like poor business. but we have
not found it so.
We have used White Plymouth Rocks
as parent stock for our soft roasters.
The heavy breeds grow larger and stay
soft longer than do the light breeds.
The light Brahma crossed on the White
Rock gave us one of the very best
roasters we have ever had. We mated

IN THE POULTRY YARD.

Don't be discouraged If you
succeed In raising only 90 per
cent of all chicks Matched. You
can make it pay with 80 per
cent mortality.
The Rhode Island Reds rank
very favorably with other Amer
lean breeds in both laying and
table qualities.
There are still few men who
think it foolish to make such
fuss over hen" These are the
men who are very sure that keep
ing poultry has nothing in it.
Working in litter is just as
good for hens in summer as it is
in winter They are often inclin-
ed to sit around and let their
blood get thick. Digging around
in the litter is the price of good
health. as well as of eggs.
The best time to market tur-
key feathers is late in the fall,
during the winter and early in
spring
Dry picked turkey feathers
command better price in the
market than scalded ones.

DRANK WOOD ALCOHOL.
Poisonous Liquor Causes Death
ofThirteen PEOPLE.

Bristol. Nov. 4.-The 18th death
caused by the drinking of poisonous
liquor said to have been procured at the
Bisbee drug store here occurred at
Huntington Center this morning at $40,
when w. E. Sargent succumbed at the
home of his cousin, V. R. Sargent. He
was about so years of age and is sur
vived by two daughters, Mrs. Ethel
Bagley of Hudson, N. ", and Mrs.
Edith Trombley of Bristol, and one son,
Harley Sargent of Huntington Center
The funeral and interment will be at
Lincoln on Friday.
There are several other cases, all of
whom are in a critical condition. The
report from the State laboratory on the
sample of liquor drank by the men is
said to have tested 60 per cent wood
alcohol.
John Agan of Monkton, in serious
condition yesterday, is expected to die
at any moment.
Mr.. Sargent spent Friday night in
Burlington and Saturday came to this
village where he has a daughter, Mrs.
B. j. Trombley. After purchasing
some of the mixture which has killed a
dozen men since Sunday morning, of
the probably 78 men who drank of the
lot of liquor bought Saturday at the
drug store of DR.. D. A. Bisbee, Sargent
treated Mr.. Trombley, besides drinking
some himself Today Mr. Trombley is
also i'll with symptoms of the poisoning.
Mr.. Sargent was a widower.
Bisbee, who is now in the county Jail
at Middlebury, says that he thought the
beverage was cologne spirits, as it was
labeled such and expressed to him from
Troy, N. Y, concern.
Bisbee, who says he is 60 years of
age, dislikes to talk about the case
He shows great concern.
Bisbee stated that he has been re-
ceiving shipments from and doing bust
ness with the Troy concern for 80 years
and during that time has spent $780,
600 with that firm. Ten gallons of
what sold was shipped to me by the
company on Friday" He stated that
he sold about four gallons of it in pint
bottles at 60 cents a bottle. He paid
approximately $50 for the 10 gallons.
Charles Booska, Sheldon Alger,
Charles Swenor, Frank Turner and
John Carl are very i'll and others have
developed symptoms of poisoning
Bisbee served term in States
prison few years ago and has boosted
that he would always sell liquor. He
has tried two or three times to get IL
cense as druggist, but his record pre-
vented.
DR.. Bisbee is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan in the class of 1876,
he says, and practiced as a physician in
Chicago after his graduation for a few
years. Then he came East, and has
lived in Middlebury and Bristol for
about 35 years.

When green feed becomes scarce
during the winter season sprouted
oats form an excellent addition to
poultry rations. The illustration
shows frame for sprouting oats.
The grain should be spread over
the bottom of the pyramid of boxes
and placed in warm quarters. A
cellar Is good place to sprout oats.
Keep the grain moist and warm
and the seeds soon show a luxuri-

Galloway cattle, a beef breed that
originated in Scotland, is character
lied by its hardness and ability to
live in the open in the severest
weather. The uniform testimony
of experienced persons is that If
two lots of Galloway cattle are win
tered, the one in the house and the
other outside, each lot being fed on
the same diet not only during the
winter, but also during the summer
months, the ones which have had
no roof except the sky above them
will be decidedly better cattle the
following autumn than those which
were well housed during the winter.
