and he has as much right to anticipate
these prices as has the producer of
any other commodity to anticipate
and prepare for advanced prices at
certain seasons. This effort being
put forth to reduce the price of eggs
at this season of the year could be
exercised in a much better manner
in trying to reduce the price of meat,
which remains high the whole season
long, and constantly climbing up, up
all the time. Why not devote little
of this surplus energy in that direc-
ton and give the poultryman a rest
for a whiIe.'

N easure. 1t appears to me to have
been passed principally to create
more high salaried offices to be filed
by friends.
Please note the feature of $10 OOO
allowed for administration by COM
missioner and an assistant-two men.
This amount of money would keep
90 families, of an average of five
members, one hundred citizens, in
comfort, the like of which one-halt
today have never reached. Would
keep them for an entire year, and IN
that time they would be able, if their
entire time would be required upon
making the clearing, to have cleared
enough land on which they could be-
gin to make their own living by the
next year.
Now we, the taxpayers, are giving
this amount of money in order to en-
able two men to keep their families
up with the style. Their chief con-
Germ Will be to dress we'll, attend
shows, keep their autos in repair and
incidentally manage an office and
sign the pay roll, while we poor pri-

seven days per week, or part of the
seventh day included, and have no
social privileges, our whole families
included, in order to make ends meet
and provide food and clothes. Prob
ably we own 20 to 100 acres, but in
this section the average amount OF
cleared land on a dairy farm is about
10 acres. Our gross sales of dairy
products--hogs, eggs, ETC., reaching
about $500, out Of which we buy mill
feed, wheat for hens, besides various
items of expense and for equipment.
Therefore | don't believe the men
who draw these large salaries as com
missiouers, earn what they are allow
ed.
I hope that The Ranch will get this
matter before the people In order fo1
them to notice just what this item OF
salary should procure for them.
honestly believe that men entirely
competent to handle the business
ends of such propositions could be
had for one halt the amount. Bring
down the salaries to an amount con-
sistent with what may be earned by
a farmer. Cut down the political
plum tree.
Surely a good practical working
plan could be made to help people
clear this Iogged-over land and bring
it into cultivation. should say the
county should do it. Have the land
owner get a committee of one OF two
and let the county be
by one or two men.
Make an estimate on how much it
would require to clear this particular
parcel of land. Let contractor fig
ure on it. Place the land free from
as sale to the coun-
ty.
When the contractor has completed
the clearing as per contract with the
land owner and as approved by the
county, make the payment to the
and as allowed for in the
present statute allow the owner to re-
pay same in small payments with in
5erest at cost.
In this way contractors would be
safe to lay out good equipment of
stump pullers, donkey engines, road
blows, etc.

ROUP.
Is it curab BILE?
1t is durable if treated in time;
though this disease sometimes pro-
crosses with such great rapidity that
the unobservant poultry raiser will
fail to notice it until it has passed
the stage where it is comparatively
easy to cure. When the head is
swollen, eyes closed and running and
the nostrils discharging Extensively
it is best to kill the afflicted fowl i'm
mediately and burn its carcass. The
remainder of the flock should then be
closely inspected for other infected
fowls Those with but slight cold
or canker spots may be isolated and
treated with any of the best known
advertised roup cures and the prem
ises thoroughly disinfected.
WORMS.
What is the most effective method
of dislodging them?
Carbolic acid in the drinking water
is recommended, 30 drops to the
quart of water, equaling about a
fourth of one per cent solution. Ep-
som salts, 40 grains to each fowl may
be mixed in a mash and fed. If in
dividual treatment can be given,
olive oil and turpentine in equal
parts, 80 drops of this mixture with
dessertspoonful of castor oil an
hour afterwards. Powdered areca,
nut in 30 to 40 grain doses, is another
we'll known remedy.

Can you give me remedy for this
habit?
My remedy would be the axe. An
egg shell filed with paste of pow
dered aloes and left in the way of the
bird with the unnatural appetite may

mends filling the shell with soft soap
or mustard. If the hens are furnish

GASTlNEAU CHANNEL
 WATERS ARE PROTECTED

Even such reliable publications as the Railway and Marine News will sometimes convey an impression that is not altogether justified by condi, tions. This paper tells in a recent is. sue of the launching of the Alma, the ferry boat built for the Juneau Ferry & Navigation Co.,, and says that "as the Alma will ply back and forth across the open Gastineau channel, staunchness was made the keynote of her construction" etc. Any ferryboat intended to carry 25O passengers should be staunch. but there is no reason that the reading public should be given the impression that Gastin- eau channel is an open sea, where the storms of the ocean have unrestricted play. when the fact is that it is one of the most protected places on the fa- nous inside passage" which connects Seattle with the Northalnd.-Douglas News.

History of Towns
In War Territory

Washington, D. c., Sept. Hollow
ing is a primer of today's war geogra-
ply:
Armentieres-A town of northern
France on the Lys, thirteen miles
west of northwest of Lille. 1t has a
population of approximately $4,000.
The town is an important center for
the spinning and weaving of fax and
cotton; bleaching, dyeing and the
manufacture of machinery are among
the other industries.
Amiens-A city of northern France,
capital of the department of Somme,
is on the left bank of the Somme,
eighty-one miles north of Paris by
rail and thirty-five miles from the Eng
fish Channel. It's population is ap-
proximately $4,000. The city was once
a place of great strength, but boule-
wards, bordered by handsome resi-
dences, have replaced the ramparts
which surround it. The famous treaty
between Great Britain, France, Spain
and Holland which took its name from
Amiens was signed there on March Is,
1902 During the war between France
and Germany, Amiens, after an i'm
portant action, fell into the hands Of
the Prussians on Nov. %, 1870. Tex

been successful at every point. though
the advance has probably been slower
tkan they had planned. No advance
could have been faster than the one
that they have made from Louvain to
st. Quentin.
In numbers the German and Austri-
an forces are by now probably inferior
to the allies, but the strength of an
army does not depend on numbers
alone. In the maxim of Napoleon,
based on the experience of his sue
cessfuI campaigns: The strength OF
an army, like the quantity of motion
in mechanics, is estimated by the mass
multiplied by the velocity. A swift
march enhances the morale of the
army and increases its power for vic
tory"
Safety of the Germans lies in strenu-
ously pushing the advantage gained
and in keeping its allies so busy that
they will not have a chance to under
take any counter attack. This Will
result in a steady aggressive, bring
ing a continuous battle until the ques-
ton is decided whether the Germans
can break through the second French
line of defense.
Russians Sweep On.
The steady advance of the Russian
army into Germany continues despite
a stubborn German defense. The in
vestment of Koenigsberg is confirmed,
and the Russian occupation of all AL
lenstein is reported. This places the
Russian advance on a line running
from Koenigsberg southwest through
Osterode to the vicinity of the Thorn.
The reported crossing of the Nistula
river by Russian forces in Prussia will,
if confirmed, show that the Russians
have completed the first stage of their
invasion.
The plans drawn up by the German,
general staff for a defense against
Russia are known to include stub
born defense of the line of the Vistula
river. Germany has strongly fortified
the cities of Danzig, Thorn, Posen and
Breslau. She has also defended the
river crossings at Martenburg and
| Graudenz.
The German military writer's have
generally mentioned a temporary oc-
| cupation of East Prussia by the Rus
| SLAMS as an unexpected feature of the
war. Germany's real defense against
! the Russian invasion is expected to
come west of the Vistula river.
The Russian successes in Galicia so
far more than balance the Austrian
successes in Poland. Apparently Aus
tria will soon need all her available
forces to oppose the advance of this
strong southern Russian army.
