Washington. June 22.-Gen Venus States that under no circumstances will he treat with General Villa and that he will continue his military campaign to crush his adversaries

Charles A. Douglas and t1lizo Arredondo. ! ti..ac pf (sapara1 will leave here on Friday for Vera Cruz to confer further with the first chief.
 They are familiar with the American point of view and know there must be conciliatory disposition on the part of Carranza toward his opponents before he can hope for the moral support of the United States.
 No advices have been received officially as to the outcome of reported differences between Carranza and Obregon. Enrique C.

All Is Changed

All this has been changed by the steady succession, of Austro-German victories of the last few weeks. If the change began with the launching of the great drive from Cracow eastward great numbers of German troops are treking. Vast amounts of artillery and ammunition was sent to the Austrians. The use by the Teutonic allies of these arms has been described by correspondents on scale never before undertaken. It's effectiveness was relatively increased by the Russian short age of shells.
 The Austro- German armies pushed east ward through Galicia, recaptured Prze- mysl June 3. and then, without pause, struck at Lemberg from the south and west. At no point were the Russians able to withstand the terrific bombardment against their positions and even the line of defenses coming near Grodek Is miles west of Lemberg. which is of great nat ural strength, proved untenable.
 Reclaims Province
 With Lemberg now in her hands, Aus tria has reclaimed virtually the whole province of Galicia. The fighting in this campaign has been of unusual intensity with heavy losses in the sand dunes. The figures of killed. wounded and captured, as given in Austrian, German and Russian official statements. run into the hundreds of thousands
 Russia had made plans for permanent occupat ton of Galicia. bringing in officials to set up civil administration as fast as | if was taken. Lemberg was rechristened Lvov, the old Russian-Polish name. The city has a population of about 200,00o, and was an important Austrian military sta ton. Although founded in the thirteenth l century. it is of modern appearance. and | is known for it's imposing buildings. The city is protected by outlying forts al though it's defenses are much inferior to those of Przemysl

and concentrated attacks. Their success will have far-reaching political eeffect as the driving out of the Russians from Galicia is counted on in Berlin to help maintain the status quo in the Balkans.
 The capture of Lemberg was one of the earliest important successes of the Rus sians. Following 1t they pushed onward rapidly through Galicia. The high water mark of the invasion found almost all the province in their hands. They ap- preached within striking distance of Cra- COW at the western end of the province, close to the German frontier; stormed the heights and passes of the Carpathian mountains. which separate Galiea from Hungary, and to the east swept through the crownland of Bukowna to the Rou- rnanian frontier

PROVIDE SHADE AND WATER
Two important Factors With Poultry
During Hot Days Of Summer
Not a Difficult Task.

These two factors are all important
with the poultry these days and should
be always at hand.
Watering but once day will not
suffice, Even If supplied in sufficient
quantity, 1t soon becomes warm and
unpalatable, for the poultry appreciate
a cool drink on hot days as well as
we do ourselves. If you don't think
so, try it.
Keep the water dishes in shady
places and so arranged that the water
will not become readily fouled with
dirt.
No shade is so acceptable to poultry
as the shade of trees, bushes. growing
corn or other plants Every farmer
almost can provide this easily and it
is nearly a sin to fence the flocks from
it. But any shade is better than no
shade and If no other can be given a
shelter from the sun of old boards or
any material at hand will answer
Water, shade and plenty of feed are
the three absolute essentials for the
growing chicks these hot DAYS as
well as for the balance of the flocks.
See to it that your Aocks lack none
OF them.

HOW TO OPERATE INCUBATOR FEEDING HENS AND PULLETs
Profits Decrease Where Young and
Old Stock Are Kept Together
Provide Separate Yards.

A good many people who might 9TH
erwise be successful with their poul,
try have their profit decreased because
they allow the young and old stock
to remain undivided in the same house
or pen or both during the growing
period.
At this particular time the young
stock needs great deal of food and
needs to be protected from the old
ones, which, if allowed to do so, will
abuse them more or less. If free range
is impossible, provide separate yards
and always keep the young in sepa-
rate buildings, If possible, or in sep
arate room at least. If you haven't
a separate building you can very cas-
lily provide an extra room of some
sort for them to roost in.
Pullets getting ready to lay need
more feed as rule than hens which
have NOTED out well, because the
pullets need to finish their growth
and maturity, as we'll as make eggs.
This is another reason why the young
stock and the old should be kept sep
arate. The feed question should also
be considered as the young hen often
needs different rations than the old
in order to produce certain qualities
which the one has and the other has
not.
