Wilson irving to "Skin Out"

From the moment of the sinking of
the Lusitania, when there was revealed
10 Mr.. Wilson the real meaning of the
strict accountability" note, 20 the
Arabic incident, the chief, the compel
ling, the dominating, aim of Mr.. Wilson
and his advisors has been TO get out of
the situation they made for themselves.
II has never for a single moment been
TO make good the words Always the
effort has been TO avoid the conse-
quences OF the words.
Since the Arabic indident there has
been a slight modification, due to the
perception by Mr.. Lansing. whom all
here trust and respect, that there was
no escape but to go through. He and
the President have also perceived that
public sentiment was getting more and
more stirred and more and more sus-
picious Of the real vigor Of administra-
tion purposes.
To-day, as at all times, the situation
is not in Washington; il is in Berlin
and in this country outside of the cap
ital. There is no crisis here that can
not be pushed along until il disappears
if it is left TO Washington-that is, if
Berlin and the American public will
behave. But If Germany sinks another
ship, II the American people become
FESTIVE and impatient, then a break may
come az any time.
In sum, there isn't a fraction Of an
intention 70 defend the international
law in the administration and there
never has been. There is nothing heroic,
chivslrous. inspiring in the whole his
tory Of the American part OF the Ger
man-American crisis. We are in the
mess because the administration, to
avoid getting in, used words and took
a course which brought us into the
middle Of il. All the talk about the
championship OF humanity Is merest
moonshine. There never was anv in
tention on the part of the sdministra-
tion TO champion humanity or any
thing else. From start to finish the
whole affair has been a sorry farce,
which may yet end in war, because no
one has yet found a way out. The
reason is utterly clear-we took a po-
sition un.enable unless we meant 70
tight at the start, and We won't fight
or leave IT..

through" not with glory, but with
safety.
On the other hand. the Won Tirpit7
faction in Berlin may get the upper
hand again and there may be another
murder Then war will come. Nothing
can help this, because no diplomacy,
however well intentioned, can perma-
nelly overlook the habit of assassina-
ton. Bernstorff, Mr.. Lansing and the
President agree that another incident
will be the end. Washington hears
every extra edition Of the local news
papers called in the streets with
shudder, and there is fear whenever
hope is highest.
L. S. at Mercy of German Policy.
Taking the situation as il stands, il
will be seen that the United States is
wholly at the mercy Of German policy.
Our diplomacy is of no avail. because
there was nothing left for il to say
assumed the highest possible tone; il
took a position that could only be
maintained by fighting if II was chal-
lenged by Germany. We spoke fight
ing words first without ever consider
ing their meaning.
And if their meining had been con-
sidered, they never would have been
spoken. All the conception that Mr..
Wilson deliberately assumed for this
country ana fer his administration the
attitude of protector of neutral rights
is hopelessly inexact The whole thing
was a sham. 1t was not an intentional
sham. No one accuses Mr.. Wilson Of
meaning to deceive. What is unver-
sally felt IS that he did not recognize
the consequences of the thing he was
saying, the policy he was outlining,
but once the thing was done he refused
TO back down. He would not retreat or
advance. he would not modify his orig
inal declaration or take the smallest
step to make it effective by the only
conceivable course.
The administration never intended to
defend international law at all hazards
or any hazards All the applause at
home and abroad based upon this be-
lief has been unwarranted and IN
earned. The administration spoke
firmly because il thought firm words
would avoid trouble, and it spoke so
firmly that it has never been able to
get out of the danger of trouble since.
This is all there is to the situation. The
glory has been squeezed out, the dan
ger remains.

TOP DRESSING FOR
 TIMOTHY MEADOWS
Diluted Liquid Manure Applied Directly After Harvest Makes
 Excellent StimuIant.

The best time to top dress timothy and mixed grass meadow is directly after harvest. Diluted liquid manure applied at this time is a most excel lent stimuiant. Well-preparea com posts of woods earth and stable manure. or seasoned mUck-mi1ed with slacked oyster shell lime spread quite Ihin. will protect the grass roots and as soon as the manure is dissolved by heavy shower the growth of the grass will be much improved. The compost must be fine and evenly spread. Fresh stable manure should not be used, pile it between layers Of enough to spread over land for fall seeding Any mulch is valuable upon the freshly mown grass. and the most of it will be washed into the ground after one or two settled rains.
 Timothy meadows should not Dc pastured. as close grazing is very in jurious-the crowns are exposed to the hot sun and if the weather should remain hot and dry for several weeks, most of the timothy will be destroyed
 A thin coat of well-rotted manure, say six loads per acre. put on with the spreader. will thicken the sod, pre- vent the growth Of rank weeds and a heavier crop of clean timothy may be cut the following season. This is the method followed by our leading Lay farmers.

BEST ARRANGEMENT
 OF THE BEEHIVES
When Placed Too Close Together Insects Are Killed Getting
 Into Wrong Entrances.

II is strange what a difference of opinion there is concerning so sim pie matter as the arrangement of hives. Some beekeepers place them not more than six inches apart Our own experience is that five feet is not too far.
 We have repeatedly noticed that when hives are placed so close togeth- CT large numbers of bees are killed when the returning swarm enters, in considerable numbers, the neighbor- ing hives, says a writer in Wisconsin Agriculturist And then, too, there are losses of queens when fertilization takes place. And last and nest i'm portant of all, if there is foul brood in the apiary it will spread through the agency of the young bees, particularly on windy days when these youngsters, which are always accepted, are blown away from their own to other en- frances.
 If you must place hives so close together, face the first south and the next to the north. Facing to the north will not be injurious to the bees, as SO many imagine. In the above We have overlooked one thing, viz, that when hives are placed so close to- gether. young queens. returning from their wedding flights. get into the wrong entrances and are killed.

The most successful managers cf live stock are the men who have a natural affection for the animals Be- cause of this regard for the stock they watch the animals carefully and it follows that they are quick to note any falling on in condition That is why men with a natural affection for animals are good feeders By watch ing their condition and noting the re- suits of changes in feed the good feeder is able to regulate the ration of each individual animal This natural affection for animals leads a man into s certain respect for his charges. The stock on the farm all possess nervous dispositions in certain de- srees, and the farmer who is quiet Around the barns and quiet yet firm n all his commands, will seldom lose control of either a nervous horse or an angry bull.
 A horse that has been given a lump of sugar by its caretaker will seldom forget the kindness nor lack friend y feeling for the owner who brought that sugar. If on the other hand the horse is offered a lump of sugar ard then it is drawn back. the animal will recognize the deception and will al ways be a little suspicious of the person who plays the trick. II is the unwise stockinan who plays tricks

on any animal, as success in stock raising depends in measure on oo- taining the confidence of the horses or cattle, which must thrive and De in the pink of condition in order to bring in the greatest profit.
 In raising both calves and colts 1. is best 10 begin their training very early. The calf that has been chased around the farm by the family dog or constantly irritated by the surly or nervous actions of its caretaker. will not often grow into the quiet, gentle COW which tends 10 business and ney- CT kicks the milk pail. The young colt that is carelessly trained will ac- cumulate a number of tricks that cah never be entirely overcome.
 Teaching the children on the farm how to handle live stock is one of the best ways of assisting in bringing up the stock right. It is usually the children, assisted by the dog. that get the most fun out Of chasing the COWS and colts or teasing the bull from the safety of a good strong fence. Such amusement is not intentionally harmful to the animals, but it results in bringing up horses and cattle with bad dispositions, and these disposi- tions often cost money and result ip accidents, which are not profitable for the farmer.

. low ceiling win keep them waim and work out better in practice than when the building is constructed with more headroom. Poultry do not need a great amount of cubic air space but they do need frequent change of air
 it was in New York state that the lime floor was tired out, and is still in use Tn just such poultry houses as this. The whole ground space IS GOV cred with slacked lime instead of con crete. because lime is softer and wears the claws less. at the same time sani- tary conditions are just as good In a wellregulated poultry house straw is spread all over the Loor to a depth of several inches; sometimes a foot deep if straw is plentiful It is raked out every day and another layer of fresh straw is supplied Every morn ing about daylight a feed of grain is scattered in the straw and the birds dig to uncover their breakfast. thereDy getting their much needed exercise to keep them in good laying conGi- tion.

If the hens want more egg-shell ma. teriai than they can get out of the ground oyster shell hopper feeder. they can dig up part Of the floor and eat it. They often prefer to do so. it makes a change from the oyster shell. which is the common lime sup ply used in the eastern states
 Every good poultry house has con. crete foundation wall extending all the way around. Concrete is the only satisfactory underpinning for a poul- try house for the reasons that it is permanent and it is a positive protec- tion against rodents and vermin. Ex. posed concrete, the wall above ground. should be whitewashed to fill all the Ittle cracks and crevices. The whole interior of the house needs whitewash- ing at least twice a year; once a month is a good rule. There are so many different kinds of poultry in- sects that It is absoiutely necessary to treat the inside of the house with either lime or crude oil to hold them in check.
 The plan of this poultry house pro vides two compartments about fifteen feet square each. An expert poultry man or woman will keep forty hens in each compartment through the win ter and keep them in good laying con dition. IL is considered the most prac- tical and satisfactory way Of housing

poultry in the winter time in New York state climate
 It is customary to provide from three to five square feet of floor area per fowl There are about 225 square feet of floor surface in each room which divided by five gives a rated capacity Of is fowls in each compart. ment. It is the ambition of many poul try raisers to start in the fall with about one hundred one-year-old hens and bullets. The number very often is reduced to about eighty or ninety before Christmas, so that the plan works out about right for poultry business of this size.
 Old hens are not profitable. Two years is about the limit of energetic egg production. All two-year-old hens should be marked with leg bands as candidates for chicken salad.

GOOD FARM NOTES
 FOR LATE SUMMER
Go Slow in Feeding Green fod- der-Provide Shelter for
 Sheep-Examine Bees.

Great temptation to feed green fod- der now. Go slow and don't forget that dew-wet and rain-soaked corn will cause bloat.
 This is a hard month on the sheep, md they should have shelter from the sun and plenty of clean water
 Poultry is moulting these days and that is hard on the birds. Feed no old corn. but give them plenty of clean sfun.
 If chickens are permitted to crowd fpto punches in . close house these sot nights they will easily catch cold when a damp, cool day comes Better move the roosts out into the scratch Ing sheds
 Examine every colony of bees now and see that each has a healthy queen.
 Get the seed of wheat ready by running it through the flaming mill. When you think you have blown out all the foul stun and shriveled seed run it through again.

 The design shown in the perspec- tive and floor plan was worked out by the president of the Poultry sssocia, tlCn of New York state some twelve or fifteen years ago. He wanted a poultry house sixteen feet from front to back. He was particular to have the ends and back of the building made air-tight by the use of building paper or felt roofing and matched cell ing inside Of good quality put on with thick paint in the groove. He did not care much about the outside of the building. so long as the material was good and well put together. but the inside occupied his attention until he got a practical house that gave uni versal satisfaction.
 Along with the shed roof design and scratching shed practice came the so- called curtain front. The size of the curtain front area must be regulated to suit the climate. Usually the front sash are hung from the top or the

DAYS DESIGNATED
 BY VIM. F. FEAG|N
Issues Bulletin Calling for Their Observance in the
 Schools of State

Montgomery. October 22.-(Special)
 The state superintendent of education. William F. Feagin. has issued bulletin for the teachers of Alabama, in which he designates four days to be observed by
 the schools during the present scholastic year.
 Better Farming Day is to be observed on November 5. Cleanup and School Im- provement Day on December 10 Good Roads Day on January 21, and Better Health Day on February 2S.
 Tn designating these days for observ- ance by the public schools of the state, superintendent Feagin declares that ''The
 fine spirit so generally manifested last year encourages us to believe that coun
 try people are putting aside the cloak of loneliness and isolation and are begin- hing to appreciate the opportunities for
 social intercourse and helpfuness made possible through the active agency of the rural school, the one place where the people can get together and feel that they are on common ground"
 Better Farming Day is the first day to
 be observed by the schools, and the su-
 perlntendent of education expresses the nope that all children in our elementary
 schools who can be an important factor Tn th1s light, the teachers who have the
 children under their tuition, and the par ents who are so directly concerned, will set apart this day for faithful study of
 what can be done to better farming condi- tons in the community served by the school, whether it be in the elimination of the boil weevil or in any other phase of agricultural work"
