Cars Brother,
Grand Duke Michael,
Hero of a Romance

One of the results Of the war, it is
said, was to bring about a reconcilia-
ton between Gear Nicholas and his
younger brother. the Grand Duke Al
exandrovitch. who had been alienated
since 1910 because of the Grand
twice divorced Mime. Marin ontoff. The
Emperor was so enraged by his broth
er's matrim onia1 alliance that Michael
was stripped of all the rights and
privileges to which he was entitled by
birth, and became a virtual outcast
from Russia. Up to the outbreak of
the war he was an exile, living prin-
cipa11y in England, but when hosti1-
tiles commenced he returned to Rus
STA and received the forgiveness of
his imperial brother and the COM
mand of the cavalry division of the
Russian army operating against the
Turks. Until the birth of the Care
witch the Grand Duke was the heir to
the Russian throne. The Cars fear
that his son would not survive to ma
'turfty made him more violent than he
would otherwise have been in his OPP
position to his brothers morganatic
marriage. Great pressure was
brought to bear on the Grand Duke
to consent to a dissolution of the mar
riage, but the birth of a son to his
wife decided the issue and brought
about the final break between the
brothers. The woman who 50 infat-
uated Michael as to make him willing
to abandon the Likelihood of wearing
an imperial crown rather than to
give her uo was noted as one of the
most beautiful of Petrograd women
when she became the bride of Ser

patron of music and the arts The
couple could not agree, and they were
at swords points when She frnet the
Grand Duke Michael. The millionaire
rather than to become involved in a
public scandal, granted his wife her

JEL.LICoE'

This Sunday will be a day of ce1e-
brating for the tars of the British
feet for it will mark the ffifty-sixth
birthday of their leader and idol, Vice
Admiral Sir John Rushworth Jellicoe,
the commander of the feet Of all
the British warriors engaged in this
conflict, Sir Uohn has come in for the
least blame and the most praise. His
picture, thrown on the screen in a
''cinenna's theatre anywhere in the
United Kingdom, is always good for
tumultuous applause. The faith of
the British public in Kitchener has
been subject to fluctuations, and the
same is true Of Sir John French and
other leaders, but popular confidence
in 81 J." has never wavered for a
minute. The English people natural
ly take more pride in their. navy
than IN the army, and Sir John is the
sort of man to inspire popular adula.-
ton He is the idol of the men under
him, by whom he is often referred to
as Smiling John" The appe1lation
is accurate, if not idignified, for Sir
John has smiled his way through life.
As a. youngster in the navy-which he
enteed when he was only twelve
he was always smiling, no matter how
arduous or distasteful the task set him
by his superiors, and when he became
a fuII-dedged officer the smile had be-
come SO much of a fixture that he
couldn't wipe it off During the
Boxer rebellion he was a member Of
the little army which made the first
attempt to relieve Pekin. JeIlicoe was
wounded and the little force of sea
men were surrounded by b1oodthirsty
Orientals eager for gore, but it is said
that Jellicoe's smile beaned more
cheerful1y than ever as the pain of his
wound grew greater and his chance of
survival more precarious. Since the
outbreak of the war; when he was en-
trusted with the command of the fleet,
Sir John has never set foot on shore.
The humblest seaman may get occa.-
sionaI shore leave, but the command
er must take no risk Of being away
if the German fleet should come out.

Saugatuck, Dec. Inquiry has

At the Norwa1k hospital today it
was said that the victim is in a COM

Search is still being made casually

EARLY Hatched Chickens Usually Bring

Prepared by the United States depart
ment of agricultural
Broilers are young chickens weigh
ing from three-quarters of pound to
two pounds apiece, the latter weight
being the most common. The produc-
ton of brOilers as special business
has been tried without success on
many poultry farms in the northeast
ern part of this country. Broilers are
raised successfully, however, and at
good profit, both on poultry farms and
where only few fowls are kept, the
broilers being the cockerels which are
a byproduct in the raising of pullets
for egg production. 81. i
The general purpose breeds Of fowls,
such as the Plymouth Rocks, Wyan
dottes, Rhode Island Reds. and Or
pingtons, produce chickens making the
best broilers. These chickens should
weigh from two to two and half

teen weeks of age. The Leghorns are
not so well adapted for broilers, as

except those saved for breeding stock,
should be sold as broilers, as they are
not well adapted for market after
passing beyond this size. White chick
ems make the most attractive and
easily dressed broilers, as their pin
feathers are not so apparent when the
chickens are prepared for market.
The cockerels should be separated
from the pullets as soon as the sex can
be readily distinguished, the most
promising chickens being saved for
breeding stock. The sex is usually
told by the development Of the head
points, tail and general male character
istics in the cockerels, and this re-
quires some skill and practice. The
forced more rapidly than those saved
for breeding stock. Quick growth can
be produced by dividing them into
flocks of fifty or less and confning
them to small pens for fourteen to
eighteen days before they are mar
keted. Feed in the morning and at
noon a wet mash of six pounds corn
meal, four pounds low grade wheat
flour and two pounds bran or mid

only enough water to make a~crumbly
mash. In addition to either Of these
mash feeds give all the cracked corn
which the chickens will eat for the
evening feed. .
Higher prices are paid for the early
broilers, those hatched in March ard
April, than for those. hatched in the,
late spring and early summer. Pullets
hatched early also make the best fall
and winter layers and are the most
profitable, to raise. Broilers are mar
keted both alive and dressed. Con
siderable care should be used in both
dressing and shipping broilers so that
they will reach the market in neat,
attractive condition.
In finishing or fattening broilers just
before marketing great difference
will be found in individuals with re-
spect to their ability to put on flesh.
Some chickens will respond only very
slowly and very unprofitably to fat
tening feed, while others will gain
rapidly and return good profit for the
feed consumed. The good feeders will
be the birds with short, stout, we'll
curved :beaks, broad heads, bright, clear
eyes, deep, broad breasts and we'll
spread legs and will, in general, give
every indication Of being vigorous and
thrifty. The poor feeders will show
opposite characteristics, notably long
beaks and crow heads, dull eyes, mar,
row breasts and close set legs and
also will show lack of v1gor and
thrift. The selection of only those
chickens of the better feeding type for
finishing will give greater average
gains and profit and more uniform,
attractive lot of broilers, while the
culling of the birds of poor type and
their marketing with no attempt at
fattening or finishing may often be
desirable. .., z
