Poultry can be raised successfully
on any w~ell-drained soil. A light loan,
which will grow good grass, is well
adapted for this purpose; while a very
light. sandy soil, through which the
water teaches freely, will stand more
intensive poultry conditions, but most
of the green feed for the fowls kept
on such a soil will have to be pur-
chased. A heavy clay or adobe soil,
is not as we'll adapted to pvultry
raising, as such land does not drain
readily and it is much more difficult
to keep the stock healthy, says Farm
ers' bulletin 574, department of agri-
culture.
Long stationary houses, or the In
tensive system, saves steps, but it is
easier to keep the birds healthy and
to reproduce the stock under the col
ony system where the birds are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock,
and especially growing chickens,
should have an abundance of range,
while hens used solely for the pro-
duction of market eggs may be kept
on a very small area with good re-
suits. The colony house system neces-
states placing the houses, holding
about one hundred hens, apart two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
feet, so that the stock will not kill
the grass. The colony system may be
adapted to sever winter conditions
by drawing the colony houses togeth-
er in a convenient place at the begin
ming of winter, thus reducing the la
Dor during these months.
Roof and Front
The roof is the most expensive but
a most important part of the poultry
house, and should be water-tight.
Single roofs should have a one-third
pitch, while those covered with paper
or metal may have a less pitch, or be
almost fiat; however, the greater the
slope the longer the life of the roof.

WILSON GIVES HIS VIEWS

Following is the official statement is
sued as representing the views of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
In discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
ut has been painted out that, in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the In
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
giles sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction of the seri-
Gus d~erelictions of its civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed in Jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one of the
ships Of the United States in the har-
Dor of Vera Cruz. who had been sent
ashore to the post Office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into Jail
by the local authorities. He was sub.
sequently released and a nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but 1t was signih-
cant that an orderly from the fleet of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly 60
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships In the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
Official Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all. the officials In
charge Of the telegraph office at Mex
leo City presumed to. withhold an Off
cial dispatch of the government of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until It should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver 1t, and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge
d~affaires Of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
a dispatch had been sen him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out.
1T cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course Of events in
Mexico as significant that untoward
incidents such as these have not oc.
Cured in any case where representa-.
tives of other governments were con.
cerned, but only in dealings with rem.
resentatives Of the United States. and
that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention To
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated ~offenses against
the rights and dignity Of the United
States. ofenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the AOvernment
of the United States was singled ont
for manifestations Of Ill will and con.
tempt"
