A plan that gave excellent satisfnc-
tion on one of q large poultry plants
during the past season was the sprout-
ing OF oats under a cover In the open
ground. A space about ten feet square
was used and the oats were sown. 4
board frame was arranged around the
space and covered with the wire netting
The attendant kept the go watered
freely, and when the sprouts were about
three or four inches Ions he plucked
them by hand. after the manner OF
plucking geese feathers. aud fed them
to the fowls. The same seed often sent
out another sprout. and those which
did not terminate until later gave a
good second crop.
II is altogether n different problem
to keep yarded fowls supplied with
green food. especially where they are
confined to small run and no special
attendant II employed. II Ia not only
a matter OF convenience. but a ques-

GERMANY |S
 INTERESTED

Berlin, June 10-The news of q military nature was completely eclips- ed in German papers yesterday by the announcement of Secretary Bryan s resignation from the American cab met. In their comments on his resig- nation, the different papers express widely divergent views but all are united in saying that it will prob- ably mean much to Germany. Bryan has been generally believed to be friendly to Germany, and the German people have considered him their friend, especially in view of his at titude against war, which has al ways been taken to mean that there was no possibility of the United States mixing up in the European conflict as long as Bryan could pre- vent it.

BRYAN WILL
  PREACH PEACE

Washington, June 10-William Jen- nings Bryan announced today that he expects to make lecture tour through out the United States at once, to win the people of the country to his " Peace at any Cost' policy. This is the stand he has maintained at all times on the cabinet ,and it is understood that the President s send ing of the marines to Vera Cruz q year ago was in opposition to Mir Bryan s views.
 The Cabinet, with Robert Lansing occupying the chair formerly occu- pied by Mr. Bryan, met last night The German situation was of course the chief topic of discussion. and all the different members went on recor,; as standing solidly behind the Presi- dent in his demands on Germany. It is understood that the text of the President $ last note to the Kaiser will be given to the press agencies tonight for publication in tomorrow mornings publications. The Presi- dent still maintains discrete silence on the German question, pending the receipt of the answer from the Ger man government.

The Belgians especially are doing great work in spite of the fact that their soldiers many of them are mere boys who have escaped into Holland and from there found their way q cross to England and thence to the Belgian lines.

 0N LEMbERC

Vienna, June 10-The Germanic ad- vance on Lemberg continues. Dur ing the past week at least sixty thou sand Russians have been captured. The way in which the captured men are mixed up indicates that the Rus sian units are still disorganized. The greater number of the prisoners were without ammunition when taken, which is taken to indicate that the Russian supply is practically exhaust ed. In addition to the men captured our forces have taken scores of machine guns and field artillery. It is estimated that fully fifty per cent. of the Russian artillery of the forces confronting us has been captur- ed in the past month.

VOTING |S
 CONTINUED

Judge Stackpole has been instructed by Jodge Jennings to receive votes on the liiense question until further orders It appears that the ques tion had been raised by the liquor dealers of Ketchikan as to whether Judge Stackpole would receive any further ballots On the "Wet or Drv' question. He, not being sure of Judge Jennings attitude on the mat ter, wired to the latter for instruc- tions, and last night was notified that he might receive the votes of any of those who were registered and had not voted on election day, but that he was not to receive votes from those who were not registered Ac cordingly last night the Judge noti fled the representatives of the Wets' and "Drys' that he would accept votes on the question until such time as ordered by the Dis trict Court to discontinue. From this it would appear that the liquor interests should experience no diff culty in securing the requisite mum ber of votes to enable them to sc- cure renewal of their licenses.
 It is understood, however, that ar effort may be made to prevent cer tain of the saloons receiving their licenses on the ground that they dc not show any intent to abide by the law.
