Limit on Italian Volunteers.

Rome, Sept. THE Italian volunz
teer corps are in deep distress as a re-
suit of a recent government order.
The trouble arises from a new rule
that no volunteer is to be accepted I'M
der the age of eighteen. All those who
have been enrolled below this age are
to be sen home.
When this order was made known
and the youths of sixteen and seven
eel serving in the ranks were told
to give up their arms and uniforms
and return home the discipline of the
volunteers underwent a Eel trial.
The sudden disappointment was too
much for the feelings Of the newly
made soldiers, and the sentiments ex-
pressed regarding the minister were
such that any court martial would
have judged them highly %subversive
Of discipline.
When the time for parting came
many of the boys broke down and
wept.

FALL WORK WITH TURKEYS,
Wide Range and Variety of Grain Feed
Are Main Requirements.

September marks the beginning or
fall work with turkeys. Young tur-
keys that reach the first of the month
in good health are practically safe from
everything except the de%predations Of
thieves and four footed providers. Very
few are lost from disease during the
fall, says the American C%ultivatOr.
In parts of the country where much
grain is grown that which would 9th
erwise be wasted in the fields is con-
sumed by the foraging flocks and turn
ed into salable flesh. A flock so fortu-
nate needs no additional food, and the
young will grow rapidly so long as
the supply holds out. Sometimes the
older turkeys obtain too much grain In
such an environment and become over
fat, a condition which p~redisposes
them to disease which, If not fatal, so
reduces their vitality that they are un-
fit for breeding the following spring.
1t does not seem necessary to confine
these mature specimens, for exercise is
essential to their welfare, but they
should be allowed to obtain additional
food and should at all times lead an
open air life. Young turkeys are those
likely to become overfat or so fat as to
be injured thereby.
One Of the prime factors In success
with turkeys Is an outdoor life for both
old and young. In cold climates there
are times during the winter when a
shelter from high winds and storms Is
desirable, but from the time when the
poults have finished putting ON the
first coat of feathers to the beginning
Of extreme cold weather they should
have no protection except that afforded
by the branches of the trees.
Such a life is the one intended for
them by nature, and any attempt to
compel them to lead a more domestic
life results usually in impaired vitality
and general deterioration.
In localities where little OF no grain
Is grown the foods obtained in the
fields by the turkeys are likely to con-
sist Of animal life and uncultivated
seeds and berries. Old birds are safer
in such places, and young ones fire.
quently do as well, though they may
require more food from the farmers
granaries as the season advances and
natures supply diminishes.
When the flock fails to find on the
range the amount of nourishment re-
Quired the owner must furnish the
balance or be satisfied with a smaller
profit. Whole grains are best for the
purpose, and corn, wheat. oats. fed al
ternately, fulfill every requirement.
Nothing that the farmer can raise will
return so large a profit on the invest
ment required as turkeys.

Matching Goose Eggs.

1t takes thirty days to hatch goose
eggs. The last two weeks the eggs
should be sprinkled with warm water
once each day and watched while
Matching, as the goslings sometimes
need help. 1t is best to wrap the lit
tie birds in some old wooden cloth
placed in a basket nea the stove. as
the mother is likely to trample them to
death. When twenty-four hours old
great care should be taken in putting
goslings in a rat proof coop, as rats are

Warsaw Scene of Many Battles.

Petrograd, Sept. WARSAW has been
controlled at some time or other py
most of the European nations.
Since its inception as a city, back In
the ninth century, Warsaw has appear

the page of history. Situated on the
bank of the Vistula in a fertile coun-
try and a center for commerce. the cap
ital OF Poland was desirable at a time
when conquest was more the order or
the day than at present. For a long
time Warsaw was the capital Of the
duchy of Mazovia, but upon the union
of Poland and Lithuania, In the early
part of the sixteenth century. 1t be-
came the capital of Poland.
For more than 100 years afterward
Warsaw fiourished In comparative
peace. At only one time was 1t serious
ly menaced, and then John Sobieski,
the Polish hero, saved it from falling
into the hands of the Turks. In 1000,
however, Charles Gustavus of Sweden
took the city, and for the first time
since becoming part of Poland Warsaw
| found herself In the hands of a con-
queror.
Only for a year, however, did the
Swedes hold the city. In 1856 the

it for nearly fifty years. When 1t fell

the Polish threw off the conqueror's
yoke and became autonomous.
BY this time Russia had grown

Russians Not DisgruntIed.

London, Sept. 6.-Pronouncements In
the duma at Petrograd and by Count
B~enckendorff, the Russian ambassador
at London, indicate that Russia and
England are anxious to brand as un
founded the recurrent reports that the
Russian people are disgruntled at the
showing Great Britain and France
have made in the west, which might
create q situation unfavorable to the
continued unity of the allies.
No hint of a separate peace or of
dissatisfaction with England's policy
comes from any authoritative Russian
source, and Count B~enckendorff made
it plain that there had been no criti-
cism emanating from those who under
stood the military situation.
Count B~enckendorff, in a statement
issued, reviewed Russia's position aft
er a year of war, laid stress on the
identity of aims Of Russia and Great
Britain and asserted that peace was
impossible except on our conditions!
Commenting ON the reports that Rus
STA was dissatisfied with the efforts
the entente allies were making In the
west, the ambassador said:
at has been said that the Russian
public hoped for a strong offensive in
the west while the Germans were max
ing their onset in the east. This may
be so, but not a trace of i'll feeling has
been manifested. and the sober view
which considers only military possibili-
ties has always prevailed. Nowhere has
the colossal effort of Great Britain and
France in the Dardanelles been more
appreciated than in Russia"

only what they will clean up with ap-
parent relish. Always bear in mind
that the most valuable asset Of the
growing pig is about 100 pounds OF
bone, muscle and vigor, aided and sup
ported by a natural keen appetite.
From the fifth to the sixth month
should be the period of preparation
that is, the time when we are getting
the pigs gradually accustomed to their
fattening ration. During this period l
have always obtained the best results
by feeding plenty of corn and giving
the pigs the run of a field of clover, al
falfa or cowpeas. In this way their d.
gestive systems gradually become ac-
customed to the change Of diet, and by
the end OF a month or six weeks they
are in the best Of condition to make
good use of all the corn they are capa-
BILE Of handling. At the end of this
period they should be well rounded out
and weigh at least 165 pounds.

feeds is so essential, is loaded with fat,
q process in which corn produces the
cheapest gains. Notwithstanding that
corn has beer the object of much crit
lcism by theoretical hog feeders, yet
the fact remains that corn and water
will produce more economical gains
than mixed feeds. Mixed feeds may
produce slightly greater gains, but the
quality of the pork is not so good, and
the loss from shrinkage or the road to
market is greater than is the case with
corn fed hogs.
How many pounds should the pigs
weigh when they are eight months old?
Well, that depends upon the man him.

eight months of age, but my ideal is
quite a way from my present achieve

pounds at that age. This is a mark that
any careful and intelligent feeder
should be able to reach.

Rape For Hog Pasture.

Rape can be seeded any time from
early in spring until late summer. 1t
takes from six to ten weeks for 1t to
get large enough to make very much
pasture. During the hot summer
months it grows somewhat slowly, so
that If seeded late In July it will not
make much pasture until the latter
part Of September. But from then on
until late in the fall it will make the
best of hog pasture. There is an album
dance of moisture in the ground at the
present time, and for that reason the
results will probably be better than
usual. The ground should be plowed
and worked down to a fine seed bed

RAISE THINGS.

1t was no trouble for our fore
fathers in this country to raise
things. They had n new and
opulent soil on which to raise
them. The crudest preparation
of that soil, the most careless
treatment of the plants. could
not prevent a harvest. Things
are different now. The old meth
DDS were all right then, but to-
day they mean poverty-sdl
poorer soil and impoverished
tillers of it. But there are ways
by which the soils reduced by
generations ahead of us can be
restored to usefulness. And
there are ways by which this
restoration can be accomplished
while the land pays for 1t. Be
fore we give up any land that
was once fertile let us look into
these things to see whether 1t
cannot be made productive again
and at the same time raise
things to pay the cost.-National
