HAS HAD LONG SWAY
Ottoman Empire Nearly Six Hun
dred Years a Power.
From Small Beginning the Turk Made
Himself Powerful in Europe
First Alliance Was With
the Genoese.

Is the Ottoman empire about to fall
after 5S9 years? Whatever its history
the true era of the empire may be said
to date from 1926. In that year the
fall of Nicomedia was recorded. A
few years later Nicaea surrendered
and in 1886 Pergamon, the capital OF
Mysia was added to the empire of the
Turk. "The people of Nicaea were
peTmitted to emigrate and take with
them all their goods, archives and
relics, and such moderation" says DR..
Stanley Lane-Poole in his volume,
Turkey" greatly strengthened the
position of the conqueror.
"The little clan of shepherds, who
had been graciously permitted to set
tie in the kingdom of the Seljuks, had
now possessed themselves, in two gen.
erations, of the whole of the north
west corner of Asia Minor, where they
commanded the eastern shore of the
Bosporus. Here, for the moment,
they were content to rest. The Greek
emperor was glad to make peace, and
the Turks were anxious to gain time
to organize their new dominions and
prepare for the great struggle which
they knew was before them.
For twenty years tranquility
reigned throughout the land of the
Turks, and during these twenty years
Orkhan and his elder brother, Ala-ud.
din. the first Turkish weir, labored
at the organization of the state and
the army" During this period the ia
nous corps Of the Janissaries, or new
troops" was formed, which for many
centuries constituted the flower of the
Ottoman armies.
Once possessed of an efficient army,
Orkhan was able to survey the king
doms which surrounded him, and 1t was
to Europe he turned. The wealthy
provinces of the Byzantine empire, al
ready falling to pieces, and divided by
strife among their rulers, lay before
him. "As he stood on the shore of
the Bosporous he could see the
domes and palaces of Constantinople
This was a quarry we'll worthy of pur-
suit"
He had already prepared the way
by moral force. The firm and equitable
government Of the Turk" Doctor Lane

Poole continues, ''nad produced q
strong impression upon the Greeks
of Asia, who found themselves better
off, more lightly taxed. and far more
efficiently protected than they had
been under the rule of the Byzantine
emperor, whose persistent and perfidi-
Gus intrigues, Joined to the insensate
jealousies Of the nobles." and the de.
mands of foreign mercenaries, put any
approach to good and impartial gov
ernment out of the question. During
the twenty years of peace there had
been friendly understanding between
Orkhan and the Emperors Andro-
nicus and Cantacuzenus, but an OPP
portunity soon occurred which en-
abled Orkhan's army to take the field.
THE struggle which was then going
on between the two great maritime
powers of the Mediterranean, the We

quent meeting place on the Bcsporus,
where the latter held Galata, a suburb
of Constantinople. The Venetians,
who were destined for centuries to be
the most determined foes of the Turks,
had" the writer continues, already
aroused Orkhan's anger, and he lost
no time in giving his support to their
rivals.
"Out Of this alliance came the first
entrance of the Turk upon European
soil. Sulyeman Pasha, Orkhan's eld.
est son, who had already operated
with success in the Balkan provinces,
crossed the Hellespont on a couple Of
RATS, with 80 followers, and surprised
the castle of Tzympe. In few days
it was garrisoned by 5000 Ottoman
soldiers. BY this small beginning the
Ottomans had won their foothold in

hands, and the shore of the Helles-

.SILO IS OF MUCH
VALUE TO FARMER
No Man Who Buys Steers to Fat
ten Can Afford to Be With
out Huge Receptacle.

Those farmers who have never stud
led the silo question, naturally do not
know how much money they are los
ing every year in their feeding opera
tions. No man who buys steers to fat
ten can afford to be without silo.
1t is a poor cornfield that will not
yield an average of from ten to fif.
teen tons Of green corn pei acre. II
this is cut into silage 1t will make a
sure profit at present prices of cattle
at from $50 to $34 per acre.
It has been demonstrated conclu-
sively that silage-fed steers bring
more money on the big market than
those that are fattened on whole corn.
1t is also a fact we'll known to expe-
rienced feeders that silage saves grain
and hay.
It is true that corn fodder contains
under chemical tests more protein car
bohydrates and fattening material than
silage, but the fact remains that
steers do not get all Of the benefit
from corn fodder, while about every
thing that is valuable is consumed in
the silage.
Then silage being quite bulky, 1t Is
an excellent feed given in connection
with ground grains and heavy meals,
as it aids greatly in their digestion.
Another thing, steers like silage. 1t
tastes good to them and they eat it
with avidity.
A steer prefers silage to dry corn
fodder, Just as a boy prefers pie to
dry corn bread, but in the case of the
steer, the silage is better food for him
than the pie is for the boy.
Place silage and dry corn fodder
before bunch of steers and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed of the first. This
Is an important factor in feeding, be-
cause palatability adds to digestive
qualities of feed, and the more
steer digests the more fat he will
put on.

KEEP POULTRY FREE
FROM ALL VERMIN
One of Best and Most Common
Methods Is to Apply Insect
POWder-Go0d Formula.

(By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri Agri-
cultural College Experiment Station)
The offspring from a single pair Of
lice will in six weeks be approximately
125, 1000. This fact emphasizes Ghe i'm
portance of keeping the poultry free
from them.
Lice live upon the bodies of the pcul-
try. They deposit their eggs in tie
plumage, generally near the vent, anN
live upon the scurf, dead skin and
feathers. To get rid of them remedies
must be applied to the bird. Spraying
the roosts with lice-killing remedies is
of little value. One of the best and
most common methods of getting rid
of lice is to apply insect powder
which should be well busted into the
feathers. A second application ten
days after the first will catch the Sec
ond brood of lice and make a thor
ough job of it. Otherwise If these
live the first application is of little
value.
A good, cheap and effective louise
powder is made by adding mixture
of one part of crude carbolic acid and
three parts of gasoline to plaster of
paris, all that the powder will blot up.
When the plaster is dry pulverize it
and store in tight cans. Another eff
fective remedy is to rub piece of blue
ointment the size of pea well into
the skin just beneath the vent.

DOES CUTTING CORN
FODDER ROB SOIL?
Few Ways of More Quickly Killing
Soil Than to Grow and Re-
move All of Crop.

There is much said now about the
value of corn fodder by those who
advocate the use of the silo. 1t is true
that the corn plant at maturity ex'
elusive Of the ear, contains much valu
able feed II properly harvested and
stored, says Kansas Journal.
Yet experienced ones say that there
are few ways Of more quickly killing
the soil than to grow corn and re.
move all the crop by cutting the fod.
der.
1t is good farm practice to cut up
the corn and feed 1t on the place,
provided that land from which It is
cut is Immediately manured to re-
store the plant-food elements taken
from it by the crop.
When no equivalent is returned the
soil is left sadly depleted of its bal
anced chemical store of life-producing
elements.
The ear Of corn, being largely starch
and composed of water and carbon
dioxide, free compounds of the atCos-
phere, does not remove much fer
tility from the soil. But the entire
corn plant contains nitrogen, potas-
SUM and phosphorus which the soil
can i'll spare
These cornstalks should be allowed
to remain in the field and be plowed
under the following season to return
these vital elements and form soil
humus.

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs to
become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the back, bearing-down feelings, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and may be despondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds Of women claim that DR..
Kilmer'S Swamp.Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing real
healing and curative value, should be
blessing to thousands Of nervous, over
worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liv-
er and Bladder Remedy will do for them.

Automatic Traffic Cop.

To provide quick and reliable
means of clearing the streets for tho
fire department. the city of Pittsfield,
Mass, has installed electric siren
horns above the fire alarm boxes along
the principal thoroughfares. The
horns are connected with each other
by an independent circuit and are also
connected with the regular fire alarm
circuit in such manner that when an
alarm Is turned in from any box. the
horn above that box and all those be-
tween the box and the central station
will start blowing and will continue
to blow until the apparatus is plao ed
in imperative position, or the current
is switched off at the central station.

Good Type of Cellar for Storing Fruit and Vegetables

some distance apart and sand covered.
Those in boxes were elevated a trifle

apples in a barrel, with oats between
the layers and those proved a sue

The roots for our stock were uni

Our barn-cellar was on a side-hill
excavation into the high bank. 1t had
a cement wall, several feet high, and
a nice driveway on the upper side
The roots were very easily unloaded
by chute through a convenient, re-
movable window, which furnished
light as we'll.
One season we kept a quantity of
roots and apples in pit, in the side
hill-about three feet deep. We spread
straw on the bottom, filed the pit to
the top and covered all with good
straw, with dirt heaped over that, and
then a board cover, to protect the
contents from water. In February and
March they opened out, with only
few defective specimens.

WELL-TIMED HINTS
ON SEED SELECTION
When Corn Is in Stiff Dough II
May Be Safely Taken-Keep
All Ears Separated.

Because of unusual conditions this
year, many farmers will find it de.
sirable to practice early field selection
of seed corn.
Seed corn may be safely selected in
the stiffdough stage, If properly
cured. The vitality of corn selected
earlier than this is likely to be un-
certain.
Early picked seed corn must begin
drying rapidly at the earliest possible
moment. If left lying in a pile for
as much as few hours the growth
Of mold is likely to start.
In drying immature corn, it is i'm
portant to keep the ears from close
contact
While drying, rainproof buildings
which provide a free circulation of
air and a temperature above freezing
are highly desirable.
Well-preserved seed corn a year old
is very satisfactory.-Nebraska Col.
