WHAT GERMANY HAS LOST.

U'rom the Boston Journal)
Does Germany appreciate the extent of
what she lost when the Lusitania went
down Are her representatives In this
country incapable of comprehending thu
fact that, regardless Of the technicalstatus
of the case, the killing of 1,l50 men, wo-
men and children caused a revulsion Of
sentiment in the United States which can
hardly be ignored by IA nation that has
expended time, money and energy from
he beginning of hostites to retain the
,ood will of Americans?
Germany may explain to the satsfac-
don of every loyal German that her
warning on the day that the Lusitania
JAILED from New York on the final voy-
age covered every possible objection to
that method of warfare; she may con-
vince professional war-sharps that her
measure of retaliation against England
was justified even to the bitter end Of
the Lusitania but she can't convince the
average American man and woman that
what she did was civilized warfare and
warranted by any present or possible
emergency.

HINTS ON RAISING
BROILERS
Breeds, Market Requirements. and
Profits.

Breeds. Market Requirements. and
The first essentials in raising brolers.
whether for ones own table or perhaps
more profitably for some one else's, Is
to know what a broiler is. namely, what
the market requirements are. young
chick to be eligible for the title of ''Broil-
err must be full-feathered. well-devel-
oped, especially in breast and thigh and
with a compact form The meat must
be tender, juicy when cooked Virtues
impaired by good food and rapid GROWTH,
and in America the bird with a yellow
skin and shanks commands the top
price. II other qualifications are there,
and the carcass Is clean and free from
pin feathers. Big combs and long legs
both signs of slow growth and age, de-
tract from the appearance of broilers
even though they are plump and other
wise up to the mark.
These requirements should be met first
by selecting the proper breed. For in
stance, the White Plymouth Rock, Rhodo
Island Red, or White Wyandotte. reach
weight Of four and one-half to two
pounds in ten weeks. although the av-
erage Is about twelve. II properly fed
If SQUAD broilers are wanted the white
Leghorn will produce a pound broiler
Of the finest quality in a surprisingly
short time There are those who i'm
agine they obtain better broilers by
crossing with one OF the Asiatic breeds,
but what they gain in size they lose in
form and rapidity OF growth.
SOME OF THE SECRETS.
The secret Of broiler-raisng is to set
only strong. fertile eggs from healthy
stock; to provide warm. clean breeders
where tho temperature may be kept at
the proper point. 81 degrees the first
week. 81 degrees the second. 80 degrees
the third. Is degrees the fourth week,
and thereafter until the chicks are feath-
cred; to avoid ovecrowding, about
thirty in one pen is enough in winter,
where there Is little opportunity for
birds to get out on the ground daily; to
keep the flock uniform as to size and
vigor by eliminating all the poor-looking
chicks; to make the birds take plenty II
exercise, thus keeping them healthy and
hungry for the more they can be in
duced TO eat and digest properly, the
faster they will grow to see that their
food Is not only wholesome, but con-
tains a greater per cent, Of flesh-form-
ing material, meat scrap and plenty Of
green food. than is customary to feed
where tho chicks are being raised for
layers and breeders; and. finally to fin
ish the birds off by adding bit more
corn to their ration. thus sending them
either to the family Ice chest, or market.

She Eep- no heed Of Vivian. who passed by the feet of the bed and took small instru- ment from the table there Then Vivian passed softly to the back Of the bed be- tween the injured man and the window.

It was ia this manner the two women-the enc who loved him above all else and the one who loved him not at a1l-waited in the silence of the sick

 "Yes" she whispered; "it is Esther"
 He smiled and was about to try to speak again. Then Vivian moved slightly nlrn passed over Arthur's dark eyes; they closed. and he lay still The drug lulled him.
 You see. he is very weak" said Vivian quietly. This meeting has been a shock to hin. Is your regard for him selfish that you would cause his death to gratify your desire to intrude further?"
 Fsther's fortitude gave way. Arthur was so wan she feared even now that the hand of death was on him. She rose to her feet and slowly left the room. followed by Viv- ian. who closed the door behind her. A heavy dread fell upon the heart of Esther With the act it seemed Co her that the Gcor Of all her hopes for happiness with Arthur had closed forever.
 Callous as Vivian Marston was. the grief and Ecartache that the deep blue. steadfast eyes of Esther so poignantly expressed for a moment stirred some tender memory of youth in the breast of the worldly woman.

Vivian forgot the stirring of her better emotions and gave strict orders to the man-servant not to admit this caller again under penalty of dismissal.

object for which the plotters seek to strangle a soul-the diamond from the sky
 The diamond lies unnotced since early forenoon on the alghting board of one Of the many beehives in the apiary of Rancher Jones. It lies where his little 3 year old daughter dropped it when testy bee had stung her after she had found the diamond beneath the rock where Lawyer Smythe had hidden it.
 Where the bil1posters camped in the woods beneath a great dead tree is not five hundred yards from the beeyard or apary of Rancher Jones.
