EXCEL AS EGG LAYERS
Guinea Fowls Are Also Superior

some people object to the noise
which guineas make and their wild
nature but as summer egg-layers
guinea hens are hard to beat.
We have three guinea hens and a
cock that have the range OF the fields,
and they are the best insect destroy
ers that we have on the farm. They
have better reputation with us as
insect destroyers than the thieving
crow which some writer's commend
20 highly for the bugs and worms
they eat. and they also pay hand
some profit In eggs for any grain they
may eat.
The gninea hens / speak OF lay an
egg each day. and they have been lay
ing for nearly three months. They
are likely to keep this up for two
months yet.
We have a brood OF young guineas
that are growing nicely--they are a
cross between the pearl and the white
guinea. and are growing better than
we ever got either full-blood to do.
! never liked the idea Of crossing
breeds. but a cross seems to increase
the vitality of the guinea.
Some have trouble finding the
guinea nests. but our guineas have
never gone far from the house to
make their nests. Sometimes they
lay In the hen nests in the poultry
house. tI.
They range long distances from the
house during the day in search of
food. but come near the house to lay.
Guineas are marketed at from six
to eight months old. Broilers weigh
ing about one pound are in great de-
mand. as their flesh is then tender and
somewhat "gamey." Old birds are
dry. tough and tasteless. They should
be marketed with the feathers on. the
same as game. The age of a guinea
fowl can be told In the same way as

Austrian Charge
Says Wrote Note
By Dumba's Order

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1-Baron Erich
Zwiedinek. charge of the Austro-Hun-
garian embassy. today called upon Secre-
tary Lansing to explain a letter he wrote
in August. 1914. in which he suggested
that passports be bought for Austrian
reservists. The State department has a
copy Of the letter.
The charge was understood to have in
formed Secretary Lansing that at the
time the letter was written he was a
subordinate in the embassy.
DIR. Constantin r. Dumba, the ambas-
sador, who has been recalled. was then
in charge, and II was said that Baron
zwiedinek contended that he was acting
not upon his own initiative. but under
the instructions of the ambassador.
Baron Zwiedinek remained with the
secretary nearly an hour 1t was believed
that the note which the United States
has dispatched to Austria-Hungary on
the sinking OF the Italian liner, Ancona.
was also a subject mentioned.
1t was stated authoritatively today that
Secretary Lansing has not yet reached a
decision as to Alexander Won Nuber. the
Hungarian consul general In New

What effect the baron's explanation
today might have upon the secretary's s
case was not disclosed. Baron zwiedinek

Whitehouse Mentioned for Niche,

whitehouse begins inventing. Down in
the cellar he goes and drags up long
coil of garden hose. Next he gets a mega
phone that had done duty in numerous
foot ball games. He binds the megsphone
to one end of the hose.
Next he digs up a big funnel such as
is used in filling automobile tanks. He
fastens this TO the other end of the hose.
Then he slips over 10 the window OF the
patients room and softly inserts the mag
sphone end. Back he flies and runs the
other end of the hose through a window
of his own house.
Breathless with the exertion OF so much
inventing. he places LISTS ninety-ninth
Hungarian raphsody or something on the
machine and starts Il, holding the funnel
carefully close to the needle.
The sick man next door. awakening
from doze. hears strains Of music.
Whence come they? He knows not. He
calls his wife. And then after some
search the sweet deception Is discovered.
