SHADE FOR CHICKENS.
Plan to Plant a Few Fruit Trees In the
Poultry Yards,

> "a = WI ." wv sv00S III InG
Poultry Yards.
We are told by those who are in a
position to know that hundreds of
chickens are lost each year owing to
the lack Of shade, writes a correspond
ent in the National Stockman. Trees
may be purchased for such reasonable
prices that it is an easy matter for one
to acquire the necessary shade in the
poultry yard and at the same time add
greatly to the producing value of the
farm by purchasing a number Of fruit
trees and setting them out in the poul-
try yard. 1t will not be long before
one will have not only all the shade
required but fruit besides. Peach trees
are especially desirable for this pur-
pose. They are quick growers, and in
three years they should be in bearing.
Pear and apple trees are also good
shade trees.
In planting the young trees be sure
that you dig the holes sufficiently
large to allow the roots to spread out
and rest in their natural position and
deep enough to stand the same depth
as the tree stood in the nursery. Fill
in the surface soil around the roots.
Prune the apple and pear trees at the
time of planting, cutting out all the
weak, broken or bruised limbs.
Peach trees should be cut back to the
main trunk, then cut off the main
| trunk to within two feet of the ground.
Never put into the holes. and
be SUI that the trees are set the prop
er distance apart.

entered the Naval academy in 1873,
reaching the grade Of captain in 1909.
His service has comprised duty on ev-

sailing frigate to the modern battle
ship. At n time he served in the
naval observatory, where he special
lied In astronomical work. Later he
was directed to inspect the Observable

rope to gain information to be used in
building the new naval observatory,
which was in contemplation at that
time. The result Of these investiga-
tons was embodied in a volume which
is today a valued work Of reference in

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
The department urges the desirable
ity of maintaining a small flock Of
sheep upon the farm. With proper
care and attention a flock Of twenty
five or thirty ewes can be kept at very
little expense, and they will prove of
inestimable value in freeing the farm
from weeds and adding something to
the farm income. In addition to pro-
viding a considerable supply Of whole
some food for the farm table there will
be a surplus for sale and an additional
item Of evenue in the form Of wool.
For farm purposes the black faced
ewes are more popular than the others.
although good results can frequently
be obtained from the white faced ones.
In buying ewes be sure that thew
stand we'll on their feet, have good
straight backs and good mouths. Ewes
that have broken teeth or teeth that
are badly worn down should not be
bought. AS a rule, a sheep has one
pair Of permanent incisor teeth when
it is a year old. two pairs when it is
two years old and three pairs, or a full
mouth. when it is three years old. A
full mouthed w If the teeth are in
good condition. can be used for breed

may be as much as five years old. Ney-

broken off or lost.
None but a pure bred ram should be
used. 1t is not necessary to have a

Southdown and Hampshire rams sire
excellent mutton lambs, and these
breeds are recommended for the farm
states. A suitable ram can be bought

1t is not an uncommon practice for
breeders to carry their heifers over to

have them frcshen in the fall. No bad

and Iron Company to be leader in this cultivation

to extend and direct the work Of cooperation among
our employees. Announcement Of the development OF
this work into a comprehensive plan will be made IN

deal with its employees in enlightened spirit and
the loyalty with which it's have stood by the

mony which be offered to their satisfaction with
conditions. No company succeed permanently
which does deserve and receive the confidence of

OF the management of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany TO command this confidence. The task of the flu
ture is to fight the battles of the past but
to conduct the coal mines of Colorado upon basis
which will insure the continuation of happiness and
contentment Of all employees In that task solicit

interest of its sensational and tragic features

Immediately before the strike started in September
1913, 1886 men were employed in the mines. Poor
business conditions make it impossible present to
give steady employment to more than 1000 men. For

given to with families. The hope is expressed by
Mr. Welborn that conditions will improve rapidly and

out on their own resources. rhs
Allies have forged an iron ring about
their enemies, and while that ring
can be kept intact, a mighty pressure
that may some day become unbear
able can be exerted upon them. II
is perfectly understandable that
England, on behalf of her allies.
should do her utmost to keep that
ring inviolable.
It is equally natural that private
citizens of neutral countries-private
American citizens-should seek to
slip thru the ring for their own pro-
fit. Perfect neutrality on tie part Of
nation may well be expected and
demanded, and indeed secured. Such
neutrality the United States as a ma
ton has preserved. But complete
neutrality on the part Of an indivi-
dual at the expense of personal COM
mercial advantage Is too much 10
expect. If American business men
can stand to make war profits by
running the gauntlet of the British
Navy with contraband. it is too much
to expect of human nature that they

blockade is fair sport. The stakes
are high both to win and to lose.
The blockade runner strives to dart
thru at his peril. II is true there
is no blockade declared of German
and Austrian ports. But the prin-
ciple is the same. The carrier of
contraband destined, by however
roundabout a way. for German and
Austrian forces, sails a perilous sea
at his own risk.
The present controversy has its
] origin in two inherent and legitimate
! tendencies-the desire of a warning
Iation to keep the sinews of war
! from the armed forces of the enemy;
and the desire of business men to
sell their goods in the best market
! and to reap profits where they may.
We are not here seeking to adiu-
dictate this controversy. We are
aiming to explain what it is and
whence it arose. For the first step
/ toward the settlement Of any ques-
| ton is to understand it. And it is
I too easy to take sides in quarrel
! before We know what the quarrel
really is.
It is eminently proper that the
! President of the United States, hav-
ing evidence that American mer-
! chants and American shipping are
not receiving what he believes to be
fair treatment at the hands Of the
British navy, should make a strong
and impressive protest. To do less
would be to fail of a high duty Now
let Great Britain state her case. Thus
may the merits of the case be de-
termined and justice be served.
