There is just one rule in all In
struction books that an incubator OPP
orator would do we'll to violate, and
that is where he is told that when
perfectly to trust to the incubator.
Don't do it. Stay and watch, or
drop in every spare minute to look
around if you want good luck for ev-
cry make of incubator has some little
peculiarly that tells In the operating,
and it is only by close watching that
the operator has chance to learn
how to bolster up the weak points, or
get the most out Of the strong ones.
The operator should not forget that
an important part of this business is
to run the machine smoothly accord
ing to the instructions. at least for
the first few times.
If you wish to avoid trouble you
should observe these three important
rules Of the instruction book.
Implicitly follow the directions for
ventilation.
Place the thermometer where the
manufacturers say.
Don't vary from instructions for
temperature.
My last seasons experience bears
on the last two points. ! was at this
time running three different makes of
machines, each at different tempera-
ture. one at 102 another at 1903 and
still another at 104. All had good
matches
The difference was mainly due to
the location of the thermometers and
did not indicate an actual difference
Of the temperature OF the eggs.
never trust one thermometer-usua
have one to each tray OF eggs.
The worst trouble ! ever had with
machine was one of the kind that
places the thermometer directly on the
eggs. The difficulty arrives when the
eggs begin to hatch. They always
knocked the thermometer over and
from then on | was never certain
whether the latter part of the hatch
was being cooked or frozen.

LIQUID MANURE is
GROWTH STIMULANT
Excellent for Growing Vines and
Tomato PIants-Timely
Work in the Garden.
(By MILLER PURVTS.)

To raise big squashes, cover every
hillock of earth, as the vine length
ems out. BY joints we mean, of course,
the point where a leaf starts out.
II these joints are covered, roots
will start out and add to the capacity
Of the vine in seeking plant food from
which to increase tho size of the
squashes it bears.
When melon and cucumber vines be
gin to grow, be careful not to dis
turb them when cultivating. Get the
ground clean as early as possible, and
then pull out such weeds as start close
to the vines.
Liquid manure Is n wonderful slim
ulant for growing vines and tomato
plants. Fill an old cracker barrel
with unfermented horse manure, and
set 1t on platform high enough from
the ground so pail can be used to
catch the liquid, Then pour water on
until 1t begins to drip out of the bot
tom. Arrange the platform so the
drippings will all run to one point. Use
these drippings to water the hills, and
watch the vines grow.
Work fertilizer or rotted manure
around the cabbage plants every time
they are cultivated. Cabbage Is the
real hog for feed, among vegetables.
Don't hoe. or otherwise cultivate
beans when the vines are wet To
do so often causes them to rust.

ALFALFA EXCELS AS
A BUILDER OF SOILS
Adds Annually More Than Twice
as Much Nitrogen to Land
as Average Red Clover.

AS a soil builder, it is estimated
that an acre OF alfalfa adds annually
more than twice as much nitrogen
to the land as the average acre OF
red clover. This phase OF alfalfa
growing will not be overl ,oked, nor
its importance underesd mated by
those who realize the need of giving
much greater attention to maintaining
the fertility of soils.
Not only does this plant add great.
ly to the available nitrogen in the
soils, but 1t adds also to the avail.

er to appropriate for It's own growth.
the large supply of phosphorus and
potassium found in the subsois, writes
II. ID. Hughes In Farmers Mail and
Breeze. These elements are beyond
the reach of the other farm crops In
the rotation, but the long alfalfa roots
gather them and later on much OF this
potassium and phosphorus become
available to other crops through the
manure made from feeding the alfalfa
hay. Moreover, as these deep pene.
trating roots decay. they open chan
nels which will be followed by the
roots OF subsequent crops which other
wise would never tap the lower re-
gons of the subsoil. The great amount
of organic matter left when the alfalfa
il plowed leaves the soil in the very
best physical condition for the follow.

yields.

by Piedmont and France, and even
after Piedmont had taken over Lom-
hardy and the Kingdom of Italy had
been formed in 1861, Austria continued
to hold Venetia. until her defeat in
the Austro-German war Of 1866 gave
it to Italy. There was left in posses
sion of Austria, however, the wedge
of the Trent district, as menace to
Italy.
The territory to the eastward which
Italy desires is made up principally
Of Istria. In early days part Of the
Republic of Venice, it passed to Aus
tria, together with Dalmatia, with the
abolition Of the republic In 1897. In
1906 Austria was compelled by Ma
poleon to cede Istria to France, but in
1913 Austria seized it.
Aside from the Dalmatian Islands,
the territory sought by Italy includes
about 5000 square miles, with more
than 100000 inhabitants

ITALIAN ASPIRATIONS.

London.-One great purpose of Italy
in entering the war is to gain posses
sion of ''unredeemed Italy" a sweep Of
Austrian territory to the north and
east near the head of the Adriatic
sea. This region, which includes
Trent and Trieste, is Italian in all
but nationality. To attain 1t has long
been her cherished ambition.
The territory in dispute may be de-
fined roughly as the sections Of Aus
tria south of line drawn in the Rhae-
tian Alps, where Italy, Austria and
Switzerland meet, eastward to the
Carnic Alps, and thence southwark
along the Italian Alps and again east
ward so as to include Fiume
The first part of this territory forms
wedge penetrating Italy between
Lombardy and Venetia and cutting
Lake Garda while the second portion
includes the peninsula of Istria and
runs northward to the Julian Alps be-
tween the Tagliamento and Save riv-
ers.
This territory Is called Italia lire
denta' (unredeemed Italy,, because It
once formed part of the Italian states
of the middle ages.
The district of the City of Trent,
known In Italy as the Trentino, once
formed part of the Roman colony Of
Tridentini, which in 1927 passed under
the rule of bishop and then, after
various changes, came into possession
Of Austria, together with Lombardy
and Venetia.

torment and anguish while living the
life of a fugitive from justice, sur

King, in telling of his wanderings,
said:
But for the fact that | could not
obtain a passport, | might have gone

into the mountains of Tennessee. He
wandered about the mountains for
several days and then wrote to Pros

My main source of anxiety was the

result was that the ventilator was

OFFICIAL GERMAN REPLY.

London.--A Berlin official dispatch.
received by way Of Amsterdam and
dated May %, says:
THE Italian government today
caused to be declared, through the
ambassador to the Austrian Hungarian
government the Duke of Avarna, that
Italy considers herself in a state OF
war with Austria-Hungary.
"The Italian government, by this
inexcusable attack against the dual
monarchy, has also broken, without
right or without ground, her alliance
with Germany.
The loyal relationship existing con-
formally with the treaty between Aus
tria Hungary and the German en-
pire, and still more firmly welded by
the comradeship of arms, has re-
NAMED unimpaired by the detection
of the third ally and his desertion to
the enemy's camp. The German am
bassador, therefore, has received In
structions to leave Rome conformity
with the Austro-Hungarian ambassa-
dor"

Conference That Made History.

London Martin Donohue, the
Rome correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle, is authority for the positive
statement that on May %, within a
few hours after Foreign Minister Son
nino Of Italy had dismissed the Ger
man and Austrian ambassadors, rep
resenting Italy's former allies, he met
in conference the ambassadors Of
Great Britain, France and Russia, and
at this meeting the admission of Italy
into full partnership with the Entente
powers was settled signed and
sealed"
The details of the arrangement by
which Italy becomes an active parti-
cipant and a responsible ally Of the
Entente powers in the war have been
in process Of negotiation for some
time, and the final meeting of the am
bassadors with the foreign minister
served merely to ratify the under
standing which had already been
reached.
"As may we'll be understood" says
the Daily Chronicle correspondent,
this first official meeting of the rep
resentatives of the newly born alliance
was most cordial. AS result of this
official interview | am able to state
that the hitherto existing triple en-
tente has become the 'quadruple en-
tente'
THE basis of Italy's active co-opera,
ton, economic, naval and military
was settled, signed and sealed. Due
notice of Italys entering into partner
ship with the nations already waging
war will be given to the neutral pow
ers.
Donohue also gives picture Of
Prince Won Buelow and Baron Mac
chic, the German and Austrian am
bassadors, leaving the foreign min
istry after taking formal leave of
Minister Sonnino. Neither took time
for long farewell.
The kaiser's emssary came down
stairs from the foreign Office says
Donohue, looking pale and excited.
He seemed to have completely lost
his habitaul look of calm self-confi-
dence. AS he turned into the Via
Vent Settembre he was swinging his
walking stick nervously, presenting a
perfect picture of bai'led and de-
feated man who was realizing that he
had played for high diplomatic stakes
and lost.
Baron Macchios colloquy with the
foreign minister did not last more
than five minutes. On leaving he hur-
ried away absent-mindedly carrying
his hat in his hand until he reached
the foot of the great staircase giving
access to the ministers office"
