VALUE OF THE INCUBATOR
IN THE RAISING OF POULTRY
It Is Truthworthy and If You Know
Your Business Will Always
Give a Good Hatch.

The incubator has made Il place for
itself in the country world and has tax
Ell upon itself the duties that used to
belong to the hen. us far as Matching is
concerned, says the Kansas Farmer.
Instead Of wasting her valuable time in
Matching the hen can go on her way
laying eggs. That part of her duty
nothing can TAKE from her. The large
poultry plants discarded the hen as a
hatcher long ago, and the fancy poul-
try1nan has followed their example.
He a hatch his chickens ut any time
he pleases. If he wants his birds early
he must hatch them in january or
February, and there are very few hens
that want to sit during these cold
months. The modern incubator. whett-
er large or small. fills the bill and
does the work Of Matching in Il much
more satisfactory way than the hen.
The hen works in natures way. and
when given a chance to make good in
her own sweet way she will come out
all right. but you sometimes want
things outside OF natures way. For
instance. it is natures way for a hen
to commence to sit in the spring and
summer. and If you wait on the sitting
hen your young fries and broilers will
bA very late in coming. You cannot
get them in late winter or very early
spring as you can with an incubator.
The hen sometimes thinks she wants
to sit. and then. again. she takes an
other think. She may stay on the nest
for a week and then strike for more
wages or another place to work in.
After she is given a lot of fine eggs
she will make all sorts of fuss and
give up the notion Of sitting entirely.
The incubator. on the other hand, is
trustworthy. You can start it as soon
as you have the eggs, and if you at
tend to your business there is no rea-
son why you should not have Il uc-
ceSsful hatch. Don't get the idea into
your head that some time everybody
will be back again Matching with the
hen. The incubator has come to stay
and is already an Indispensable part Of
every modern poultry plant.

Only One Umpire For Miners.

The minor Leagues are not only gOin:
to cut salaries of players and limit the
number Il club can carry down to a
minimum. but most OF the little leagues
intend to drop the double umpire SyS-
tenn and work but one official next sea
SOn.
This means a big saving. for the nm
pires ever in the small leagues draw
on an average $3.50 Il month. and ~
the Southern league. where they have
been carrying eight men. they Will
save about $1,000 Il month on umpircS'
salaries alone. not to speak of the cut
in travelling expenses.
The international and American as.
sociations will probably not adopt the
single umpire system. The Pacific
Coast and the Western leagues. how
ever. are going to make the cut in the
staffs.

ITALY TO REMAIN
NEUTRAL, OFFICIAL
IN ROME INSISTS
Change in Situation Re-

ROME. April 2s.
ITALY will not participate in the war.
BY remaining neutral, she will win a
greater victory than would be possible
we're she to enter either one Of the hos
tile camps"
This statement was made today by an
official OF the italian Government, who
requested that his name should not be
used.
A Kaleidoscope change in the situation
has developed in the last q hours. No
stronger evidence of this fact than the
foregoing statement could be had. 1t
came from an official who ls In close

Important code dispatches were sent to
Berlin and Vienna early today by the
German and Austrian Ambassadors
These are believed to have an important
bearing upon 1taly's foreign relations as
their transmission followed a conference
between Foreign Minister Sonnino and
Prince Won Buelow, the German Ambas-
sedor. This meeting took place at the
Foreign Office last night and at It's con-
clusion Prince Won Buelow hurried to the
Austrian Embassy. where Baron Won
Machio. the Austrian envoy, was await
Ing him.
The official who stated that italy would
not enler the war said that a full state
ment If the international situation as in
wolves Italy would be made by Signor
Sonnino to Parliament when 1t convened
on May r.
This statement is expected to prove
most satisfactory to Italy" he added.
"In view of what Ia now known II is al
most inconceivabe that Parliament
should take any stand In opposition to
that which would be recommended by the
Government"
1t is reported that the Austrians are
crying for war with Italy on the as
sumption that Germany's aid will insure
success. Meantime, 1t is known that the
Austrian Ambassador was received in
audience three times by the Pope yester
day. Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal Secre-
tary OF State. was present on each
occasion.
1t is understood now that the Pope,
IN final attempt to avert war between
Italy and Austria, is secretly urging GER

French and Belgians Retake Lizerne.
Kaiser Wins st. Julien.


LONDON, April 26
Only three miles from Ypres, accord
ing to the official claims made in Berlin,
the German troops are continuing their
tremendous attacks upon the allied
forces. BY capturing the village of st.
Julien and a little strip OF woodland be-
tween Pilkem and st. Julien they have
Strengthened out their front between the
two towns. Here they are opposed by the
British troops, who have apparently
withstood the first fury of the German
attacks. the Canadian troops having in
fiicted severe losses upon the Kaisers
soldiers.
Northwest of Ypres. on the Ypres
Canal, the Germans are reported to have
suffered a severe reverse at the hands of
combined French and Belgian forces, the
latter having captured the town of
Lizerne by a night attack and driven the
Germans back to the canal. most of them
having been forced to retire to the east
bank.
The French artillery is pouring a rain
of shells upon the canal In an effort to
destroy the pontoon bridges thrown
across 1t between Steenstraate and Het
Sas.
Fighting is in progress along the So
mile front extending from the North Sea
to the south line OF Lille. The Germans
are also making determined attacks in
the region of La Bassee, but there their
assaults failed TO gain the success that
marked their first drive against Ypres.
