With tear-shining lashes she

With the ring Of betrothal l begged
for a token

Though now it is faded

The way that it shimmered the
night on the stair;
And often 1 kiss it,
And think how I'd miss it

Her dimples more witching than

laughing than weeping;
We chase with fond kisses the foot
prints Of care;
But my own little wife never
dreams I am keeping
The little red ribbon she wore in

Though faded and crinkled,
And rumpled and wrulkled,
The bonnie, bright looping tina;
glistened so fair,
Far down In my packet
1t lies, in lOcket--
The little red ribbon she wore in

DR.. Joseph Goricar. former AustrO-
Hungarian consul general at san
Francisco, who charged through the
Providence Journal a few days ago
that Austro- Hungarian consuls in this
country are concerned in plots to vio-
late this country's laws, and that a
huge fund to back such plots is main
tanned by the German and Austrian
governments.
The department Of justice al Wash
ington has turned over to the state
department evidence that at least one
foreign governments representatives
have been active in plots to destroy
munltion facories and foment labor
troubles. Dr. Goricar has turned
over much evidence that he gathered
concerning the activities Of certain
consuls.

DRINKING VESSELS

Drinking vessels for tho poultry flock
are of many types, some vacuum and
some open. The vacuum fountain is
of usually small capacity, hard to clean
and easily injured by freezing. They
are also relatively expensive as most
of them are patented. The best drink
ing vessel for the poultry house is a
large, heavy weight galvanized refriger-
ator pan, which holds about a pail OF
water. Such a pan, to be efficient,
should be placed on an elevated plat
form about one and one-half feet from
the ground. Over the pan can be con-
structed a slanting roof or guard to
keep the birds from perching on the
edge and soiling the water Such a
pan is relatively cheap easy TO fill and
is not readily injured even If the water
freezes solid.
The muslin curtains which are at
present in most modern poultry houses,
should always be made so that they
can be easily and quickly lowered, and
they should be so placed when they are
raised up against the roof OF the house
that the birds cannot fly on them and
hence soil them or conceal their eggs.
An excellent practice is 70 make the
curtains i'm two parts folding in the
middle and have them so hinged that
they will fit up tight against the front
wall above the opening The doors
communicating from pen TO pen should
be provided with strong spring hinges
so that they will swing either way, and
they should be provided with friction
catch to enable the poultryman TO go
through the house pushing the doors
ahead of him and not having to stop
and see that they are properly closed.
A few minutes saved each day in this
manner will make many hours in the
course of year.

VENTILATED ROOM FOR INCUBA-
TOR

A well ventilated room, which is not
subject to great variations in tempera-
ture, should be selected for the incu-
bator. If built above ground, the wall
should be double and the entire build
ing insulated. In sections that have
mild climate, machines may be oper-
ated in buildings with single walls, but
a well-insulated room is always prefer
able. When only a few small machines
are used they are generally run in
room or cellar Of the house.
Since good results in Matching may
be secured in cellars as well as in
rooms they are more commonly used.
Many of these cellars are provided
with some system Of ventilation besides
windows, muslin screens on the win
dows often providing good ventilation
without draft Ii is advisable to keep
the sun from shining directly upon the
incubator. Cement floors are easier to
keep clean than dirt floors. When the
equipment is extensive. a special cell
lar house may be provided.

RATS MORE SERIOUS THAN YER
MIN IN WINTER

In order to insure success with
chicks Matched in coolest weather,
warm sheltered quarters are absolute
ly necessary. II is also necessary to
set hen where the eggs will be
free from drafts and cold air. A corner
of the poultry house may be fitted up
for setting hens and the newly hatch
ed chicks that will insure a fair hatch
and keep the young birds comfortable
Lice and vermin will not trouble in
winter but IL will be necessary to keep
sharp eye out for rats. These pests
seem worse in winter. as much of
their regular food supply is cut off by
the cold. On the whole, however, /
do not think II more of a task to raise
winter chicks than summer ones. The
extra work necessary TO keep them
warm is offset by insect pests and dis
eases which have TO be fought in sum-
mer but from which they are prac-
tically free in winter.
IT is possible to do a poultry bust
ness Of this kind without artificial
Matching or brooding, but If one were
to launch out on a considerable scale
incubators are necessary. / have new

duce sitters when they were most

out the chicks at just the right time If

and Wyandottes. should be Matched in
April Later ones do not commence
laying until the severely cold weather
comes on and then they are apt to
produce only in a desultory and unsat-
isfactory manner. Good winter layers
should get down to work before the
cold becomes severe. In order to pro-
duce many of them it is necessary to
have an incubator, as, my experience
has been, that hens do not become
broody, except in infrequent cases, un-
til the middle of April.

HAS TRIED BOTH

Alabama's return to the prohibition
fold is an event of even greater signifi-
canoe than the going dry of a state
which has never had a prohibition law
Up TO January IA, liquor men made
much Of the fact that Alabama ad-
opted prohibition and after two years
trial rejected it. Furthermore, the vets
permitted themselves to believe that
the result of the Underwood
contest last spring proved that the
prohibitionists were in the saddle.
AS a matter of fact, Alabama's pro-
hibitory statute was lost, as was the
senatorial fight through the tricks and
wiles OF the liquorities. The vets sue
ceeded in having the legislature f1911
repeal the statewide prohibitory law
and pass a county option bill instead
The very next chance the people had
to express their opinion OF such sum-
mary proceedings (the legislature Of
Alabama meets only once in four
years. they saw TO il that their law
making body was overwhelmingly dry
After experience as a wet state, then
as dry state and again as a wet,
Alabama, all but eight gifts sixty-seven
counties without saloons under the
county option law puts itself in the
dry column to stay put. II is fifteenth
on the list of prohibition states and
the law takes effect July /, 1915.

IN THE STATE LEGISLATURES

The state lawmakers are doing
themselves proud this year. In quick
succession the legislatures are taking
up the questions of prohibition and
woman suffrage. Arkansas, by a big
majority, passed statutory law, MAX
ing itself the sixteenth state to outlaw
the liquor traffic. Under the Going law
this state has enjoyed temporary dry
periods; after January l. 1916. its sa-
looms will be banished under the gone
law.
The men and women of Idaho will
vote upon the question of statewide
prohibition in November, 1916 Only
one vote in the legislature was cast
against submission-thisb by member
who slipped into his seat by a majority
of one. Inasmuch as all three political
parties are pledged to support the
amendment, easy victory is conceded
even by the vets. Statewide prohibit
ton is pending in many other state
legislatures, and the signs are porten-
tious for the trade"
The legislatures OF New York West
Virginia and Arkansas have all voted
to submit a woman suffrage amend
ment. Massachusetts and Tennessee
have done the same. but these two
require it's passage by a second legis-
lature. In other states, both north and
south, such an amendment is before
the legislatures.

the greenhouse late this month for
early plants.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1915-02-24

Good seed is an important matter
with the gardener aS well as the
farmer. II never pays to buy cheap
seed. Experiments were carried on
a year or two ago by the Pennsylvania
experiment station with some ten or
more strains of cabbage seed OF the
same varities from, different firms.
They found variations to yield from
the strain Of seed. The seed OF the
highest quality meant several dollars
more per acre in net returns, even
though it did cost a few cents more
per pound.
Sow pansy seed in the greenhouse
for early plants.
Rhubarb may be started in the cell
lar and will soon give good stalks for
sauce.
Plan to plant some of the herbs
such as dill, anise, caraway, ETC., this
spring.
Portulaca is one of the best ANIMALS
to plant i'm a hot sunny place. 1t
does well in light soil if ii has sun
light.
Do not set seed plants directly on
manure in a hotbed There should
be three or four inches Of soil TO alb
sorb the odor and steam from the
manure.
Summer cypress (Kochia) makes a
good annual hedge. 1t grows about
two feet high, is quite dense and
changes from a light green TO GRIM
son in autumn. Sow seed indoors in
April. Will reseed year after year.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1915-02-24

Plant a few currants, gooseberries
and raspberries this spring. They are
easy to care for and will repay any
one for growing them.

Write for catalogs and get the seed
list made up and ordered. 1t will

table and flower seed.
