ALGERIAN SOLDIERS
ARE VEGETARIANS

MANY races of men have distinguish
AV4 ed and are distinguishing them
selves as soldiers in the worlds war,
but observers who have written from
the fields of operation have given 1t as
their opinion chat one of the best fight
ers in the French firing line is the AL
gerian. An interesting reflection called
forth by this comment and a signifi-
cant fact is that the Algerian soldier
is vegetarian. or very nearly so, be-
cause those persons who know the AL
gerians say that it is only twice a
month at the most that Frances North
African troops at home eat meat, and
that is when goat lamb is killed,
and then the whole village takes part
The common and usual fare of the AL
geran consists of wheat and dates, oil
and milk, and beyond that figs,
oranges, eggs, cheese and vegetab les
of all kinds
The Algerian troops in France, &C
cording to what appears to be reliable
and auther tic reports, have not con-
tracted the meat-eating habit. and

Poultry Yard Notes.

Healthy, normal hens are not in the
habit of laying soft-shelled eggs; nei-
Their do hens properly fed and housed
lay such eggs. Usually they are the
result of an inability to retain the egg
until fully DEVELOPED condition that
is sign of weakness in one direction
or another. much the same as dropping
more than one egg at the same time
Soft-shelled eggs are also more numer-
Gus in the spring of the year, when the
losses are often considerable. In p
study of the several causes for this
difficulty. made by the poultry depart
ment of the Washington State Agricul-
tural College, it has been learned that
the yo1k of the egg is fully formed
when 1t breaks from the hens ovary
and drops into a funnel-shaped mouth
of the oviduct. 1t is at this point that
fertilization of the egg takes place
probably within a few minutes of the
three hours time the formation of the
thicker albumen is completed. The next
section of the oviduct secretes the shell
membrane, which ordinarily requires
about three hours; by the expansion
and contraction of the walls of the owl
duct the egg is forced forward into the
shell gland, where the lime of the egg
is deposited, and within twelve or
t"eHty-IOur hours the egg is laid. One
can readily see that anything that
would have tendency to make the egg
pass too rapidly through the lower
two-thiYds of the oviduct would cause
the hen to lay soft-shelled eggs
The first and usual cause of soft
shelled eggs is that the birds are too
fatA The muscular movement of the
oviduct is hindered by layers of fat
and instead of the egg being controlled
by firm muscles. II merely slides
through a fiabby mass without getting

GREEN FEED ESSENTIAL
IN RAISING TURKEYS
Onion Tops, Chopped, Best for

titul and Regular Supply.

There is no more important element
in n complete authorization than green
food. Healthy turkeys may get along
fairly well for months together with lit

they VIII never DO as well AS when fed
appetiZing fresh green growths in abun-
dant quantities. And under certain cir
cumstances-whent turkeys are herded, in
relatively large quantities, on relatively
small areas-when a flock of turkeys is
weak or generaly run down-and par
ticularly with flocks of small pouts-it
is absolutely essential to feed a plentiful
supply of green.
Green food for Young turks can be fed

With old turkeys this is usually UNI
necessary. Also, the kind and quality of
the chopped food for poults differs cutie
widely from that which makes a salts

Other Greens to Use.

eQulNd!ent.
Other Greens to Use.
Next to onion tops and onions, clover
heads the list of satisfactory green
foods for baby turks. The quicker the
growth of the clover that is used, the
more fresh and green the leaves and
clover stalks, the more the poults VIII
relish it, and the more good it will do.
Like the onion tops, the clover can
best be fed to very small poults when
chopped fine; as greater bulk OF
clover than onion tops can usually be
fed, it is just as well to feed the clover
separately either at the times when
other food is given to the covey or at
odd times during the day. From the
time poults are two or three weeks
old they will eat prodiglous quantities
of fresh green clover. The easiest feed
ing method is simply to throw a cou-
pie of handfuls of freshly pulled clover
leaves before the small birds, or, If
they are confined in brooder coops, on
top of the wire cover, SO that they can
reach up and peck at the pile from be-
low.
Green alfalfa ranks next to clover
being inferior only for the reason that
leaves and stalks are somewhat coarser
and must be chopped with rather
more care in order to make a satisfac-
tory ration for small turks. An alter
give the turks lunches of fresh green
alfalfa stalks, from which they can
strip the leaves, leaving the stalks, for
the most part, untouched. The greater
danger of this practice is that occa-
sonally some ambitious little poult will
start to eat stalk several sizes bigger
than he is, and after swallowing vail
antly five or six inches of it will be
compelled to spend he rest of the day
travelling around with six inches or
so more hanging from his beak. A
poult in this condition, like a horse
that has fallen where it cannot rise,
will not last long unless help arrives.
Where none of the commoner green
stuffs are procurable a fairly accept
able substitute may be made by soak
ing dried alfalfa hay in water. Four or
five hours in fresh water will swell the
dried alfalfa back to very fair sim-
of it's original size, and turkeys
of all ages will soon learn to relish it
1t usually proves more
however, for old birds
than for very young ones.
One of the very simplest and best
methods of feeding green stuff to
young turks is that of putting the
covey of baby turkeys in portable
brooder coops on lawn or clover
patch. When this is done it is unnec-
essary to pay any further attention to
the baby turks snip off the tops of the
clover necessarily during the day, and
SO are well provided with green food. !
The only thing that is necessary is to
change the coops from place to place
with sufficient frequency to keep the !
baby turks ranging over a limited area |
of fresh green.

What was done in this case can he
done by any farmer or gardener who
is willing to do the little additional
piowing and seeding necessary. If a
supply Of barnyard manure is avail
able, for spreading on the clover before
the latter is turned under III the
spring, results will be obtained in even
less time. If an analysis of the soil is
obtained and the chemical elements
found missing, if any. are supplied by
the addition of properly balanced COM

quicker results will be noted.

should be removed and the patches

New York, May Special: When
the Cunard liner Lusitania sailed
from this port late last Saturday. it
had aboard 1910 passengers. Some
nervousness had been caused because
of the publication in the morning
papers of Saturday of an advertise
ment warning intending travellers
that a state of wal existed between
Germany and Great Britain and her
allies; that the zone of war includes
the waters adjacent to the British
allies; that the zone of war includes
isles; that in accordance with notice
given by the German government,
vessels flying the flag OF great Britain
are liable to destruction in those wa
tiers and that travellers sailing in the
wal zone on ships of Great Britain
or her allies do so at their own risk.
The advertisement was signed I'm

This warning, apparently, did not
cause many cancellations, for the
ship sailed with a very full passenger
list.

BURGLARS ABROAD

Entrance to the store was made
