British Memo Says
I Slow Prize Courts Are
Due to Shippers
TO EXPEDITE
YANKEE CARGOES
Will Not Be Effective
in Preventing New
Note

WASHINGTON. June 25.--(Spe-
cial.)-The state department today
made public the memorandum pre-
pared by Lord Crewe at the British
foreign ONCE and which oficials
here believe was rushed to this
country In an attempt to forestall
President Wilson in his announced
determination to send another note
to London protesting about the mis-
treatment Of American commerce.
The memorandum does not reply
to the American protest OF March 80,
and, In fact, makes no reference to
the principles Of international law
on which Wilson based that note.
II merely socks to explain the Brit.
ish attitude toward cargoes which
II Ia believed are destined eventually
for Germany and also explains the
steps that have been taken regard
ing shipments from Germany and
adjacent neutral countries to the
United States. No attempt Is made
England's unprecedented blockade
Of neutral ports Is an unqualified
denial Of the sovereign rights Of the
nations now at peace.
The main point In the mcmoran-
dunn In that English prize courts
have been ordered to expedite the
handling of American vessels and
cargoes with which they are called
upon to deal. What delay has &C.
Cured In prize courts is attributed
to the slowness Of Americans In
preparing the cases and being ready
on the dates assigned for hearings.
Il Is also stated that most Of the
cotton cargoes that have been seized
have been paid for. the total being
32.260. 900.
The memo also points out that
England has given preferential
treatment to many carg0es such a.
dye stuffs from Germany and has
stated that exports from Germany
to the United Statea. when proof IL
given that they were bought prior
to March /, will not be interfered
with even though the ships carrying
them sailed since June IS. the time
limit previously hxed by England.
II IL said here this memo will not
prevent the administration from
sending to England = second and
stronger note protesting against In
terferencc with our commerce.

Serviceable Road Drag.

of the hitch may be regulated by
lengthening and shortening the chain
at the end which runs through the
hole in the blade end of the drag. Usu-
ally two horses are enough to pull a
drag over an ordinary earth road.
The object of the drag is to move
earth toward the center of the road
way and to raise it gradually above
the surrounding level. While this is
being accomplished, all mudholes and
will press the fresh earth, The drag
does the best work when the soil is
moist, but not sticky.
In soils full of loose stones or even
small powders the drag does good
service. The loose stones are drawn
into a windrow down the center of
the road, while the earth is deposited
around the powders in such a way
that the surface is leveled.
The approximate cost of a split-log
drag, labor and material is about three
dollars; the cost for dragging one
mile, going over several times, team
and driver, is just what you will make
1t from one dollar up, depending on
the number of times required to go
over the rough road
The advantages to be gained from
the persistent use of road drag may
be summarized as follows:
The maintenance Of a smooth, serv-
ieeable earth road free from ruts and
mudholes. The obtaining of such a
road surface with the expenditure of
little money and labor in comparison
with the money and labor required for
other methods. The reduction of mud
in wet weather and of dust in dry
weather.

INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation Of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without crop this year.
The authorities, though are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as Is the soil of Western Canada,
1t Is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than Is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions of the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada, and also reports Of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal Of this is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
of men of experience, there are farm.
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain Of paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands OF
acres of land waiting for the husband

is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is a con
sentative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
Of the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities Of
supplies for cash.
The total value Of exports to Eu
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results of the demand
Of the allies for war and other materia
is beginning to be felt in the financia
life of the Dominion. There is a marked
activity in many commercial lines, ant
conditions are fast becoming normal
Western Canada is receiving a rela
tive benefit to the East.-Advertise
ment.

| WHY NOT CAPONIZE TURKEY?
Improvement In Quality and Increase
in Size Would Make Industry
More Profitable.

There is every reason to believe
that caponizing other poultry would
prove as advantageous as it does with
chicken cocks.
The turkey cock, particularly, would
be good subject to operate on, and
if the increase in size and quality
should prove as great as in the capon-
lied cockerel am sure that it would
make turkey growing vastly more
profitable than it is under normal
circumstances, says Missouri writer
in Farm Progress.
So far as I know, no such practice
has been set up in this country or
elsewhere, but il the emasculating
makes a so much finer bird than the
ordinary cockerel, it seems to me that
the improvement in quality and in
crease in size would surely be as great
relatively in the turkey males. \
am presuming that the operation
would be as simple in turkey cock
as in the chicken. OF course, there is
no reason to believe that the turkey
caponized would be affected in any
wise differently from the chicken
cock.
am quite sure that anyone who
will caponize some early-hatched tur-
key cocks this summer and market
them as capons next fall will find 1t
a paying operation.

GOOD
ROADS
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
One of Advantages Is Maintenance Of
Smooth Surface, Free From Ruts
and Troublesome Holes.
(By H. F. HAsKELL.)

(By H. F. HASKELL.)
The successful operation of drag
involves two principles: The FIT con-
Germs the length and position of the
hitch, while the second deals with the
position of the driver on the drag.
Each influences the other to a large
extent and successful manipulation of
the drag is dependent upon an under
standing of both of them.
For ordinary purposes the snatch
link, or clevis, should be fastened far
enough toward the blade end of the
chain to force the unloaded drag to
follow the team at an angle of IS de-
grees. This will cause the earth to
move along the face of the drag
smoothly and will give comparatively
light draft to the team, provided the
driver rides in the line of draft.
The distance from the drag at which
the team Is hitched affects the depth
of the cutting. Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground a longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length

CONSTRUCTING A PLANK DRAG
Der Instead of Loss-Two Horses
Sufficient to Haul Device.

Drags are often constructed Of
planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the
middle line by 2x6 inch strip. A
triangular strip may be used under
the lower edge Of the blade to give
it the proper cutting slope.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull drag over an ordinary earth
road. The team should be 1driven
with one horse on either side of the
right-hand wheel track the full length
Of the portion to be dragged and the
return made over the other half of
the roadway. The object Of this
treatment Is to move earth toward
the center OF the roadway and raise
1t gradually above the surrounding
level. While this is being accom-
plished all mudholes and ruts will be
filled. into which traffic will pack the
fresh earth.

BIG ADVANTAGE IN POULTRY
Soon After Matching There Are Many
CockereIs Ready for Market and
PuiIets Begin to Lay.

One Of the advantages in poultry
production is that returns come
quickly. With the exception of straw
berries, there is practically no line of
small fruit on which you can begin TO
realize inside Of three years. A mich
COW does not approach her full power
of production short of three years; ap-
pie trees do not begin to bear freely
short of seven or eight years. How is
1t with hens? Three weeks from the
setting of hen you have batch of
chickens; four or five months after
Matching you have lot of cockerels
for market and in from five to FIVE and
one-half months the pullets begin to
lay.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1915-04-02
SOME GOOD POULTRY FACTS
Early Hatched PuIets Produce Eggs
In Fall and Early Winter-Best
Time for Matching.

Pullets must be we'll matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets in will, as
rule, lay all winter.
1t is the early Matched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March and April are the
months to do your Matching in order
to secure early Matched pullets.
Yearling and two-year-old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as they
are melting at that time, and the
feed they consume goes not only to
keep up the energy and life Of the
birds but also to put on or grow a
new coat of feathers.
In properly matured pullets all sur
plus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements of the body is
available for the production Of eggs.

WAY OF FATTENING TURKEYS /
Feeding Green Corn Is Bad Practice
Always Have Grit and Charcoal
Near Feed Trouqhs.
(By MRS. EMMA STACEY


At the price per pound given for
turkeys these last years it pays to

Horse Care,

Don't whip the horse If he is afraid
Talk gently to him. Don't forget his
salt. Don't put a rough. dirty bit in
his mouth, nor a frosty one. Don't
hitch him in the cold, unprotected by
blankets, and hitch him so the wind
will not be in his face. Notice how
horses in lot always turn tail to a
cold wind. Give him enough to eat
of a good, wholesome food, and all
the good water he wants.
