KEEP PUREBRED FOWLS
No Branch Of Farming That Pays

The progress made. by the farmers

8 given to modern methods and the
little details which are now consid-
cred as absolutely essential to success
with poultry.
Until very recently the poultry on
most farms has been a mixture OF all
sorts and breeds all running togeth-
er. and you might travel for miles
and visit farms and not be able to
see one purebred fowl Of standard
variety. But that time has passed
and many farmers are keeping moth
ing but purebred fowls. though there
is still far too much of the mongrel
variety which is of very little value
being raised, though this is decreas-
ing year by year as the farmers are
becoming educated better along this
line.
For a long time 1t has been the
rule that any place on the farm was
good enough for the hens and they
have often had to live and even raise
their young under the very poorest
conditions, often being obliged to live
in the hogpen and wade around
among their filth. What can be ex-
pected of poultry raised in any such
manner7 Surely not very much. No
farmer would expect any return of
profit from any of the rest of his live
| stock on the farm unless he fed and
cared for 1t WELL The same rule holds
good with poultry. 1t is a fact that
the hens will give better and clearer
! profit without feed, except what they
pick up, and without the proper at
! tention (all but gathering up the eggs)
than any other living animal on the
farm. How much more could be ex'
pected of them, then, If the right kind
of attention be given them. The pro
gressiye farmer ought to make al

farm. Why pay all of his attention

TREAT BARB-WlRE INJURIES
Do Not Apply Axle Grease or Any
Rancid Ointment to Wound-Re-
move All Foreign Substances.

(By DIR. A. 9. ALEXANDER. Wisconsin
Agricultural College)
This is the season of the year when
stockmen are most frequently an
noyed with barb-wire injuries TO their
horses. Just few things to bear
in mind at such times suggested:
After barb-wire accident, do not
apply axle grease or any rancid oint-
ment to the wound. Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
clip the hair as close as possible
around It, and wash again to remove
any hair or other foreign substance.
When sand or hair has lodged In
the depths OF deep cut never use
wet sponge to clean 1t out. Use o
piece of absorbent cotton or cotton
batting. There will be much less risk
of infection.
); It will be useless to put stitches In
wound that is very deep or ragged.
or that is located in place not In
perfect rest when the animal is max
ing natural movements.
Dry busting powder has a healing
effect on barb-wire wounds and other
large. moist cuts and abrasions. Such
powder may be prepared cheaply by
mixing together equal parts Of slaked
lime, sulphur and charcoal.
Prevent lockjaw dangers In nail
wounds Of the hoof by opening them
up freely, which provides drainage fol
serum and pus. Saturate with solu
ton of corrosive sublimate and water
in the proportion Of to 500. Cover
with busting powder, absorbent cottor
ami bandage. This treatment should
be repeated daily until the wound II
healed.

EngIish Soldiers Use Gas
On London Peace Meeting

Canadian and Australian
soldiers, with sprinkling of British
territorials, Tuesday took charge OF
Memorial hall, where the "Union of
Democratic Control" an organization
which is opposed to conscription and
favors peace, was advertised to hold a
meeting, and unceremoniously threw
the speakers from the platform and
turned the gathering into recruiting
meeting.
The soldiers succeeded in gaining
admittance with tickets other than
those circulated to the members of the
union, and forming themselves at the
top of the staircase leading to the
great hall and galleries, forcibly took
possession of the building.
Bombs that contained "asphyxiating
gases" were launched and then the SOL
diers took the platform by storm.
Several of the speakers, including the
leader of the union, sought refuge in
an anteroom, as did the women who
were distributing leaflets.

Permission Given Reidlstag to

Letter to Wilson Said to Be. Under

London--The momentous decision
reached by the German government to
permit the discussion Of peace in the
reichstag is regarded here as the clear
est indication that Germany ID prepar-
ed to lay down her arms II acceptable
conditions can be obtained.
The governments decision, follow
ing the authorization given to the Ger
man press for free discussion OF
peace possibilities and the discussion
of an almost unanimous desire to end
the war, along with the governmental
sanction Of the Socialists plan to
bring about peace debate in the reichs-
tag, lends to Mondays session Of that
body an Importance which 1t is impos-
sible to overestimate.
The entire world is awaiting eagerly
the speech of the imperial chancellor.
Meanwhile the widest rumors are cur
rent.
The latest of these. coming from The
Hague and obviously from a German
source. Ia to the effect that the kaiser
intends to proclaim peace on his arriv-
al at Constantinople. It is asserted
on the highest authority" according
to the rumor--but the name OF this
"highest authority" Is not given
that the kaiser will send a letter TO
President Wilson urging him to accept
the role of mediator. The letter, the
rumor goes on, will declare that Ger
many did not want the war, which, the
letter will say, was forced by England
and Russia. Atrocities viii be denied
energetically. The hour Is at hand,
the letter will continue, to stop the
bloodshed and permit Europe to heal
her wounds with bountiful peace.
Germany will offer, through Presi.
dent Wilson. to evacuate the invaded
departments of France and all OF Bel
pium except Antwerp and to negotiate
with Great Britain regarding the pos
session of Antwerp. Poland will be
declared autonomous, the invaded
provinces of Russia will be restored
and Serbia's independence will be
guaranteed.
On the other hand, the freedom OF
the seas" is to be guaranteed, and spe-
ciai privileges are to be granted to
German commerce.
In case of refusal of these terms,
according to the rumor, Germany Is
determined upon war of extermina-
tion.

London-With the retreat Of the
greater part Of the Serbian army
across the Albanian frontier, the slow
ness of the operations against Monte
negro and In Southern Serbia, owing
to the wintry weather, and the abb
sence of any major operations on the
western and eastern fronts, interest in
the military side Of the war Is now
transferred to the Austro-Italian from
tier. There King Victor Emanuel's
troops are carrying on an energetic
offensive against the Austrians.
The fighting on this front has been
the most sustained and fiercest OF the
whole war. For weeks the Italians
have been attacking the Austrian
bridgeheads and mountain positions,
along the Isonzo river, and are slowly
but surely drawing their nets around
Tolmino, Gorizia and Doberdo.
Their attacks have been repeated
time after time against positions
which had been most carefully pre-
pared, and, while the Austrians report
that most of these assaults have beer
repulsed, their accounts are considered
here to have been so worded as to pre-
pare the public for their retirement
from Gorilla at least.
This, for the time being, is ltaly'i
contribution to the Balkan operations
of the allies, for it keeps large forc'
of Austrians busy and it compels then
continually to bring up reinforcement
which could be successfully employee
against the Montenegrins and Serbians
The Serbians, unless followed int
Albania, in time will probably reap

said that $500 of them, includinl
soldiers and civilians, have taken ref
uge there and that they have saved al

launch general criticism of the meas
ures for the regulation of the food sup
ply, on which the government has
promised to submit memorandum to
the reichstag, and that certain ele-
ments, notably the radical wing of the
Socialists, will insist on bringing into
the discussion the ultimate aims Of the
war and the terms on which Germany
could profitably make peace.
Whether Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg will be drawn by this discus
sion into statement more or less defi-
mite on the subject is uncertain.
A newspaper statement coming from
Major Ernest Bassermann, one OF the
parliamentary leaders, who has been
in preliminary conferences with the
chancellor, asserts that the chancellor
will deliver an important speech on
the foreign and internal policies and
food supply question.
1t is anticipated that the chancellor
probably will make speech--probably
two-but it seems uncertain whether
he will touch at all on the delicate sub
ject of the German peace program.

ENEMY OF THE GRASSH0PPER
Nothing to Be Gained by Encouraging
Blister BeetIes-Destroy All Grass
hopper Eggs In the Fall.

Among the natural enemies of the
grasshoppers are the blister beetles
or old-fashioned potato bugs. the
larvae of which subsist almost wholly
on grasshopper eggs. The blister
beetles become very abundant in
grasshopper years when food is plen-
tiful. However. little or nothing lie
gained by substituting plague of
blister beetles for a plague Of grass
hoppers and the wiser course Is to
destroy as many grasshopper eggs as
possible in the fall, thereby cutting
off the development of both sorts Of
pests.

In the event that the unofficial ad-

the action would precipitate a situa-
