GENTLY healthy to do their duty for
the fatherland."
Major-General Birdwood, who com
mands the Australasian troops en-
gagged at the Dardanelles, has lately
written letter to the governor-gen-
eral of the Australian Commonwealth
Sir Ronald Munro Ferguson, in which
he says:
"Our complete moral superiority
over the Turks is partly due to the
clever invention of a man named
Beach, who produced a periscopic
rifle. When we got here we denuded
the whole of our transports of their
looking glasses and made up some
1000 periscopes on our little beach.
This man then made a very simple
device. The result is the Turk only
sees the muzzle of a rife coming over
the parapet without anything behind
1t to shoot at, and we understand
from prisoners that he dislikes this
intensely"
Some details of the mode of opera
tions of the French aviators on the
western front are given in a letter
from a Hungarian aviator serving
1.-THE French airmen," he writes,
now fly usually in fiocks or squads
of considerable strength, both for
accommodating purposes and for at
tacking our aviators, who are on
reconnaissance duty. AS the French
possess a huge number of machines
and block our way Systematically, we
have had to follow their example.
Some pitched battles between COM
paratively large fleets of aeroplanes
are thus among the possibilities OF
the immediate future.
when the French desire to pre-
vent us from carrying out q recon-
naissance, dozen aeroplanes ascend
to height of 5000 feet and patrol
our line. An equal number rise to
1900 feet and fly along our front,
taking the opposite direction from the
first group. Should one of our ma
chimes attempt to pass through the
meshes of this net the two French
aviators who happen to be nearest
attack it simultaneously, one from
above and the other from below. II
that is not sufficient two or more
others fly to their assistance"
The great extent to which warfare
proves an incentive to religious devo-
tion has been noted in correspondence
from other belligerent countries, and
Italy furnishes considerable more tes-
timony to the same effect. Indeed,
with but little exaggeration it may be
said that the Italian army divides it's
spare moments between singing and
praying. 1t is believed in Italy that
King Victor's troops are the gayest
and most light-hearted in all the war,
for they always go into battle sing
ing. Their first thought on returning
from a struggle. however, is a mass
for the repose of the souls of COM
rades whom they had had to leave
behind on the field. The most popular
song in the camps, after the devout
services are over. is "Addio Mia

JAP ARMY'S AID
TO Be ASKED BY
ALLIES, REPORT
Request viii Not Be Granted,
However, Says Dispatch
from Toxic.
BY the United Press.

By the United Press.
TOXIC, Sept. 25-The allies are re-
ported to be preparing to call upon
Japan to send troops to help block
the threatened Austro- German drive
through Serbia to Constantlnople. No
official confirmation is obtainable
here, but the report attracted con-
siderable comment today in view of
dispatches indicating that Bulgaria
may soon cast her lot with the central
empires. If the allied diplomats make
such representations, their efforts al
most certainly will result in failure.
Assistance of Japan's armies Is
known to have been desired for some
time hv certain French leaders,
among them Stephen Pichon, former
foreign minister. 1t was suggested
that Japan send troops to the Darda-
nelles to aid in quick dash to Con-
stantinople, or send enough divisions
to the Russian front to make it i'm
possible for Germany to divert troops
for Balkan campaign.
The policy of the government, how
ever, remained unchanged. The diff
f1culty of transporting to the war
theater would be almost insuperable.
Furthermore, Japan is not willing to
risk her military prestige in a cam
paign of such O character as that
being waged at the Dardanelles.
Early in the war the government
even frowned on movement to en-
list volunteers here for service in
France.
Though Japan several weeks ago
refused to sell to Russia her own
reserve of ammunition, the govern
ment has taken active steps to aid

tion plants are being extended and
improved and some supplies of am
munition already have gone forward

supplies of war munitions to the
czar's armies.

INTERESTING WAR NEWS
GIVEN IN CONDENSED FORM

"a visit to the officers prison camp
in the wonderful old citadel of Mainz,
| Germany, and a talk with the Eng
lish, French, Belgian, Russian-as
well as German-officers completely
destroys the impression that personal
antagonism and hate exist among the
actual fighting men in the war;
writes an Associated Press corre-
spondent.
1.-THE Mainz camp, which is one of
the best war prisons of Germany at
present has population of 555, Off
GERS, of whom sixty are British. The
balance is almost equally divided be-
tween Russians, French and Belgians.
Something over 100 common soldiers
detailed as servants are quartered
there in addition. Both sides recog-
nize in the other honorable opponents
who have had individually nothing to
do with either the causes or the con-
duct of the war, and whom the mis-
fortunes of honorable conflict either
have Stunned or hit"
The men with whom the Associated
Press correspondent had opportunity
to speak recently agreed without ex-
ception that the food was good and
sufficient in quantity. Twice a day
the men are allowed half a bottle of
wine or of beer with their meals, and
in addition are able to purchase al
most any variety of eatables, things
to drink and to wear, as well as
luxuries, at the camp canteen, Sport
figures prominently in the life of the
men at Mainz, and scarcely a week
goes by without a football or cricket
match, a tennis tournament or some
similar event. The Englishmen, de-
spite their numerical inferiority, are,
as usual, the leaders in all games and
outdoor exercises.
The planting of symbolical trees,
which has been popular in France
from early times, is likely to become
general throughout the country this
year. The first ceremony of this kind
since the present war was recently
held in Paris on the grounds of
hospital in the Rue Oudinot, where, in
the presence of a number of GONZALES
cent soldiers, sisters of charity, and
distinguished persons, Cardinal Am
mete planted tree Of revenge" At
the same time he invited those present
to return for the day when the tree
of victory" might also be planted
there. During the French Revolution,
it is said, more than $4,000 liberty

P0ULTRYMAN MUST
STUDY HIS FLOCK
lust as Much Business Sense Re-
quired With Poultry as Any
Other Farm Work.

At the high prices of corn and grain
now prevailing, the chicken raiser
must study every point of the game In
order to make profit Better reduce
the number of the flock and feed well
those that are left than to try to man
age large flock on scant rations.
1t is fact that a good fat hen will
lay better than lean one.
What mistake it is to feed lot
of cockerels all winter. They should
be sold off and with part of the money
a new, vigorous well-bred cock bought
for the spring.
There is just as much business
sense required in the management OF
poultry as in any other branch OF
farming, but not many farmers seem
to have discovered this fact.
Sell off all turkey gobblers this fall
and buy new, ones for breeding next
spring.

GREAT MISTAKE TO
SELL A BROOD sow
Keep Her as Long as She Re-
mains Healthy and Vigorous
Keep Pen Free of Dust.

1t is a great mistake to sell the
brood sow just because she is two OF
three years old. Keep her as long
as she remains vigorous.
When the hogs are confined keep
the floors of the pen as free from dust
as possible. Hogs lie with their
noses close to the floor and in this
way inhale more dust than any other
farm animal.
An excellent bedding for hogs is
marsh hay or pulp from the sugar
cane mill. This gives out very little
dust.
Some farmers seem not to have
learned the very essential fact that
hogs are natural grazers and should
always have plenty of grass. A
field Of rye makes the best spring
pasture for the hogs.
Hog-breeding for a pure-bred mar
ket is ticklish job, and requires a
great deal of experience. The aver
age farmer will do we'll to stick to the
pork grades.
Naturally a SOW nursing big litter
of pigs loses fat rapidly and should
be fed plentifully on nutritious milk
giving feeds.

PURITY OF JUDICIAL ERMINE
Termed as Rabbit Skin by Redoubt-
able Advocate Who Was Defending
Prisoner at Bodmin Assizes.

At Bodmin assizes once, barrister,
while pleading, was interrupted by the
Judge:
'Mr Carter. you are wasting the
time of the court
Thine of the COURT" retorted the
truculent veteran, glazing fiercely at
the bench Your lordship means
your lordship's dinner!"
The judge threw up his hands in
despair, and Carter continued his
harangue in peace.
The same redoubtable advocate was
on another occasion defending man
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
False pretenses," said he, with
fine scorn. why, we all make them
every day. barristers and solicitors
and judges-the whole lot of us. Talk
about the purity of the judicial err
mine!" Here he pointed derisively to
the learned judge. who sat covering
on the bench. why, it's only rabbit
skim"
Shouts of laughter greeted this ir-
reverent statement, which investiga-
ton would probably show to be literal
ly true.

GREATEST FEEDING
VALUE OUT OF HAY
Two Hours of Sun on Dry Day Is
Sufficient to Cure Timothy
When to Cut Crop.

A great many farmers imagine that
hay of all kinds must be dried out
like kindling wood to be fit for stor-
age OF course, it is true that hay
as dry as powder will keep in the
NOW or stack in perfect condition, yet
very dry hay is not as good feed as
hay carrying some moisture.
To secure dry hay that will be easy
to cure and light to handle many al
low the grass to stand and ripen too
long before harvesting. This is mis-
take, as hay of all kinds allowed to
ripep fully will be woody and con-
tain a large percentage of undigest-
ible fiber and small percentage of
succulent digestible matter. ALI hay
should be cut in a green state and
never be allowed to fully ripen.
Prime hay that carries the greatest
feeding value is cut before the plants
are fully ripe and cured to preserve
the green nature of the feed. This will
give the hay more aroma, it will be
more appetizing to the animals, and it
will be more digestible and nourish-
ing. Hay In the barn, bale or stack
should come out after months Of
storage with strong aroma of green
and be bright green in color Then
it is choice hay, and will be heavy and
rich.
The best hay is secured when the
crop is cut before it is ripe and cured
with the least possible amount of sun.
Two hours of sun on a dry day is
enough for timothy, and a half day
of sun for clover or alfalfa. The rake
should quickly follow the mower, al
lowing the hay to begin curing in the
windrow, where the least surface will
be exposed to the sun. After curing
in the windrow for few hours. it
should be punched and allowed to
cure in the bunch for day or two,
according to the kind.
Glover and alfalfa may be allowed
to cure in the bunch in the field for
about two days, while timothy will re-
quire but one day. Allowing hay to
cure mostly in the shade gives it bet
ter color, better aroma and high
feeding value.

PROPER FENCE FOR
SHEEP is PROBLEM
Most of Our Sheepmen Use Wow
en- Wire From Thirty to For
ty-TWo Inches in Height.

The fencing problem has always
doomed up big to the beginner in rails
ing sheep. 1t is not, however, a very
diff cult one if it is undertaken in an
intelligent manner. 1t does not re-
quire heavy fence to hold sheep, but
barbed wire will not make satisfactory
sheep fence.
Most sheep raisers use a fence con-
structed of woven wire from thirty to
forty-two inches high with from five
to nine horizontal wires and sixteen
to twenty stays to the rod. Any fence
coming inside these limits if put up
with a post each fourteen to sixteen
feet will prove satisfactory for sheep.
If thirty-inch woven wire is used.
1t should have at least one barbed
wire on top of it. 1t usually pays to
put one or two barbed wires on top
of the woven wires, however, az this
will make fence that will turn horses
and cattle as well as sheep.

MEDIUM CLAY SOIL
BEST FOR ALFALFA
Good Plan to Have 1t Follow
Some WeIl-Cultivated Crop
Like Corn or Potatoes.

1t is best to have alfalfa follow some
well-cultivated crop like corn, pota-
toes, tobacco or sugar beets where the
soil is freed of weed growth. Never put
alfalfa on sod land, for the blue grass
will cause difficulty. A virgin soil
should always be first subdued by
growing several cultivated crops to get
the soil in good physical condition.
Poor land should always be well
MANFRED. A medium clay loan is best.
On heavy clays winter-killing is more
apt to occur. Light sandy soils gen.
orally require lime and manure. Al
falfa does we'll on river bottom lands,
but peat soils are too sour OF acid.
