thing that is going on about her.
In the first place, hen likes a dark
and secluded place in which to perform
her daily task, and at the same time,
she is less liable to become addicted to
the habit of egg eating if the nests are
dark. Under the dropping board is also
good place to build the nests, but if
this space is utilized, they should be
made to slide in muttons so as to be re-
moved at will. If the nests are placed
under the dropping board, have the
opening in the rear. No matter where
the nests are located, however, they
should be so arranged as to be easily re-
moved.
Above all things, do not fail to pro-
vide the hens with some place to scratch
in, Cover the floor space to a depth of
about six or eight inches with some good
light scratching material for the fowls
to work over. While there are many
forms of scratching material, the best
may be said to be wheat straw. 1t is
particularly necessary that you cover
the floor of your coop with a good litter
if seperate scratching shed is not pro-
vlded, and even if this be the case, one
will not go wrong by placing it in the
coop. To each poultry house you should
construct a suitable run for the birds,
and this should always be kept in prime
condition. Many houses are constructed
so as to have run on either side (which
are used alternately
There is much to be said regarding
the colony plan of poultry house. This
method of housing poultry has many
advantages over the single house meth
cd and can be adopted on most farms,
thus doing away with the tainted run
ways, but is not practicable for the
small breeder, nor yet the man who has
but limited space to devote to the use
of poultry.

Poultry Pointers.

Don't overcrowd the henhouse.
Never attempt to keep so birds in a
coop built to accommodate 25, and eX-
pect to get results. The egg yield will
! fall off so per cent, and the fowls will
| become generally unhealthy.
Yes, those nests will last a long time
before they wear out. They may posi-
bly, last through an entire season. But
by making new nests several times dur
ing a season, and then burning the old
ones, you foster cleanliness and prevent
lice and other parasites from gaining a
foothold. If, however, you desire to
set, never use an old nest. Give old
Biddy a new, thoroughly disinfected
and clean nest, besides a good busting
herself, before allowing her to set.
AS soon as the hen has finished the
period of incubation, take out the nest
and burn it, and again go after the lice
that may have taken possession.
Fresh, neat and nicely-made nests,
induce the hens to lay in them, keep
the eggs clean and give a tidy, attract
i've appearance to the premises, so that
you will not be ashamed when friends
or customers call to see them.
In order to secure high per centage
of fertility in the eggs that are to be
Matched, it is necessary that the stock
be properly bred, reared, housed, fed
and mated.
If eggs. while Matching. become soiled
and it is necessary to clean them, a
basin of warm water at temperature |
of 103 degrees Fahrenheit should be |
used, but not above this, little less
being sbetter than a degree greater.
The eggs should be put into the water,
and the dirt gently removed after soak
ing with the hands, then dried with
cloth and put back in the nest. which,
by the way, should first be renewed
with fresh material. If not badly
soiled, they may be cleaned by gently
scraping with knife or the finger. In
either case, care should be taken to
avoid cracking or jarring, thereby de-
stroying the possibility of its Matching.

cultural display. Liberal use OF
palms, shrubbery, vines and trees has
been made to relieve and diversity
the long facades of the exhibit pal
aces. At the far end of the grounds
are the athletic field and race track;
at the near end lies the Zone, in
which are grouped the amusement
concessions.
Conceived to celebrate the opening
of the Panama canal, the idea of the
exposition had its inception in 1904.
The great fire of 1906, in which San
Francisco virtually was destroyed,
only delayed plans for its embodi-
ment. The authorization of the state
legislature, together with an apDro-
priation of $5,000,000, were obtained
and in April, 1910. $4,Os9,00O was
raised by private subscription in two
hours President Taft signed the ex-
position act October 4, 1911.
Investment Of $8o,OOo,0oo
In work done by the Exposition
company, the nation, states and terri
tories participating and the conces-
sionaires admitted, an investment of
$4,000, 900 is represented. Exhibits
on display probably will bring the
total capital temporarily tied UP with

To the expenses of construction and

cisco and State of California each
contributed 100000 and $7,500,0O0
was privately subscribed. The ma
tional government, although exhibit

Shrapnel and She'll Wounds,

Comment is coming over the sea on
the high ratio of wounds inflicted by
shrapnel fire and shell fermentation
and the unusual gravity of such wounds.
Cannon fire has been a dominant feature
of the war so far. though the machine
gun, the magazine rifle and the bayonet
have played their red role in the de-
cision of engagements. Much has been
written Of the mercy or slightness of
wounds produced by the pointed, steel
covered bullet with an average caliner
of about 80. driven by nitro powder at
a rate Of flight unthought of. or at least
unheard of. until about thirty years ago.
These bullets are "mercifup' at mid
and long ranges-so merciful that their
effectiveness in stopping and killins
power has been often questioned-but at
close ranges explosive effect In wounds
has often been observed. and 1t is per-
haps some Of these that have been
diagnosed as hits from dumdums.
For the shrapnel wound no claim of
mercy has been ever made. The shrap-
mol bullet II not pointed. is not steel
jacketed. Is Of large caliber and strikes
at q low velocity. The American shrap-
mel. representing the highest type of
this ammunition. ranges in its flight
from muzsle velocity of about 1850
feet a second to 779 at 5000 yards.

Statistics of Lynching,
From the New York World.


Booker Washington's statistics of
lynchings in the United States in 1914
are encouraging as showing their re-
duction to the smallest number since
records of mob murder were kept. AL
together fifty-two persons were lynch
ed, OF whom forty y-nine were colored.
Twenty-four. or nearly SO per cent of
these, were put to death in Louisiana
and Mississippi. Unfortunately, the
showing is not so favorable for "the
usual crime" For the protection of
womanhood only seven persons were
made the victims Of male vengeance, of
whom five were colored On the other

The Passport Frauds.

II subjects of any foreign power
have been obtaining passports as
American citizens for the purpose of
evading capture in transit to their
own countries in order to join the
colors a fraud has been practiced
against the United States. There is
no American obstacle to the depar-
ture of Germans, Austrians. French.
English, Belgians, Russians or the ma
tionals of any other warning power
from these shores. They are free to go,
whatever may be their purpose, and SO
far as the United States is concerned
they need no passports. But If they
have conspired to obtain American
passports under the seal of the United
States government they have offended
grievously and they should be severely
punished; and those who have promoted
their plan should be even more severe
ly visited with the penalties of the law.
The arrests made in New York on
Saturday are believed to disclose a
widespread plan to promote the dis
patch of alien reservists under Ameri-
can passports in circumstances which
leave little room for doubt that seri-
GUS frauds have been practiced, involv-
ing even perhaps the counterfeiting of
the seal of the United States govern
-nlent. No proof Is at hand to implicate
in this fraudulent practice the Official
Representatives of any foreign govern
ment. but II such representatives
should be found to have been engaged
in the promotion of this fraud they
will, of course. have rendered them
selves unacceptable to this govern
ment and they must be denied recog-
milton. 1t cannot be conceived that any
government of Europe will attempt to
justify a practice so fiagrantly fraud
, ulent or would seek to condone the
onense on the ground of national ne
cessity.

achieved by the French in a vigorous
aggressive movement in southern AL
SAGE, by means Of which 1t Is evidently
hoped to gain a strong strategic posi-
tion on German territory for operations
against Strasburg and Metz Several
German positions have been captured.
and at latest accounts the operation was
progressing in accordance with plan.
There is doubtless a strong sentimental
motive for thus pressing the war
against Germany upon her own soil.
Heretofore, with the exception OF the
first few weeks Of the contest, the hos
tilities have been conducted on Belgian
and French soil in the west.
In the eastern campaign there have
been no marked changes. The Rus
slams, following their victory over the
Austrians in the Carpathians, have
swept into Hungary and at latest ac-
counts were organizing a forward
movement with Budapest as the objec-
tive. In consequence there has been
clamor in Hungary for German sup
port, which. however, Germany may
not be at present in a position to give.
owing to the conditions that prevail on
her various lines OF battle. In Poland
few changes have occurred and appar-
emily the Russian and German armies
are at stalemate, neither side being
able to effect an advance. Inasmuch
as the latest aggressive was that of
the Germans against Warsaw. the pres
ent situation constitutes a German de-
feat, as this offensive operation has for
the present wholly failed. Whether it
will be followed by a renewal of the
Teutonic advance or by a Russian
movement to carry the fighting into
Silesia remains for disclosure.
No result has been reported from the
Italian protest to Turkey. which bore
the menace of the entrance of the gov
ernment at Rome into the arena of war.
Evidently some check has been inter-
posed to prevent the precipitation of
the crisis which would only result un-
favorably to Germany and Austria
through the addition OF a material
force to the weight against
them. 1t Is evident that the Italian
government is continuing its policy Of

The Twenty Third Week of War.

The twenty-third week of the war in
Europe was comparatively devoid Of
important developments. The most no.
table happening was the destruction of
the British battleship Formidable In
the English channel by a mine or tor
pedo, presumably discharged by Ger
man submarine. This achievement by
the German navy in further reduc-
tion Of the British sea force is Of con-
sequence chiefly in connection with
previous blows delivered against the
English maritime power and in the
suggestion 1t conveys that by continu-
Gus occasional strokes of this kind the
Germans may overcome the naval pre-.
ponderance Of their enemies until. II
the war on land should last long
enough. they may be able to gain free
access to the sea.
On the land the most important de-
Sslepmsnt Of the week was the SUCCESS
