above all race hatreds and that the
German women stretched out their
hands for friendship and international
love. Miss Courtney, of England, re

'Geroli, the sole Italian delegate. Speak
ing in French, and with great earnest
ness. she said she saw the horrors Of
war impending in Italy. The men, who
were starving because of the stoppage
of trade, demanded to be sent to the
front to fight, where they would be
certain to obtain food, she said. Even
the Italian peace society had declared
in favor of war. But the women of
Italy were praying against such a ca
lamty.

London, April 27.-No statement has

that a grave international question

USES FOR MANURE sPREADER
Time and Labor Saved by Distributing
Fertilizer-VehicIe Can be Used
as Common Wagon.

Using the manure spreader for dis
tTibuting fertilizer is another of those
cases of saving time and labor over
the old method of hand scattering. A
spreader can be as quickly and easily
loaded as common wagon while the
time required to unload is about one
fourth that of unloading by hand. Be-
sides, the driver has chance to rest
while unloading the spreader, conse-
quently he can load the spreader again
quicker and easier than where he tires
himself in unloading by hand. This
saving in time and work enables one
to do from two to three times more
hauling, which of course reduces the
cost accordingly.
But the greatest profit in connec-
ton with the work of the spreader is
that of economy in the use of the
manure. When distributed by the
spreader 1t will cover two or three
times as much land as when scattered
by hand, for all Jumps and hard pieces
will be torn into fine particles and
distributed evenly over the ground.

DIVERSION FOR SICK CHILD
Many Ways to Abuse AiIlng Young
ster Besides Buying Toys-She
Enjoys Cutting Out Dolls.

There are many ways to amuse a
sick child, besides buying games anu
toys at the shops The child enjoys
the toys she makes herself better
than any other kind. A paper tablet,
pencil, crayons and scissors are all
that are necessary.
One particular maid of ten years
amused herself through the week of
the mumps by making a Store Game. /"
There are many things to do for this
play. First, she manufactured money
by drawing small circles. the size of
penny, writing in the disk the
amount which the coin was to repre-
sent, and. coloring it yellow for gold
and brown for copper. These circles
she cut out, and with them filled her
purse. Then she began to make the
articles that were to be purchased
with the money. Paper dolls came
first. With mothers aid she drew a
full figure of doll, with dresses, hats
and furs complete; and then she
colored to suit her girlish fancy The
cutting out was part of the pleas
ure.

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Fine Spray OF Kerosene oil Is Ettec

mals-Other Remedies.

Sometimes a fine spray Of pure ker.
osene is very effective in knocking of
flies. This spray should not be heavy
enough to penetrate the hair, or it
will blister the skin. Another spray
is made by the use of ordinary coal
tar dip or creosote two parts, mineral
oil four parts, water ten parts. This
is usually put on with brush or
sponge.
OF the mixtures classed as "repel.
Tents" the following is supposed to be
very good: One gallon fish or whale
oil; one pint coal oil; two ounces
crude carboiic acid. A little melted
resin is supposed to make these mix.
lures stick to the hair little better
Another remedy suggested is ten parts
lard or axle grease to one part of pine
tar. Such mixtures are usually dis
agreeable to apply, and the bad odOr
is generally greater nuisance than
the presence of the flies.
The principal advantage of light
sprays is that they drive the flies
away during milking time. These
have to be applied every day and do
not keep the flies off very long, The
repellent mixtures are usually applied
twice week, and will keep flies of
from two to four days.

CARING FOR THE RAM
Head of Average Farm Flock Re-
Ceives Little Attention.
Should Be Given Every Opportunity TO
Keep Strong and Healthy Before
Breeding Season Begins-Give
Abundance Of Water.

Usually, the ram which heads the
average farm flock receives very lit
tie care from the time he is turned
out to pasture in the spring until tas
advent Of the breeding season in the
fall Then, about the only thing which
is done is to turn him in with the ewes
and allow mating to occur at random.
Perhaps this is the sort of care and
management which results in many
barren ewes and weak lambs.
The mating season is naturally one
of severe strain on the ram and he
should be given every possible oppor-
tunity to keep strong and healthy.
This means that he ought to have the
proper kind of care, even before the
breeding season begins. OF course,
If the pasture is plentiful, there is not
any need of feeding anything else
during the early part of the grazing
season. However, as the hot weather
mes and the grass becomes less
abundant and less succulent, it may
be advisable to feed other roughage
or perhaps a little grain.
Especially during the month just
preceding the mating season should
the ram get the best of feed and care,
for experience has shown that the ram

WARNING ON PLANT vERMIN
Kerosene Emulsion Said to Be a
Remedy for Many Pests That
Annoy the Gardener.

Every gardener must face certain
annoyances and be ready to stand a
percentage of loss from vermin and
disease. The simplest and most eff
fectiye remedy for any kind of plant
lice is to spray with kerosene emul-
sion. This is satisfactory with all
soft-bodied insects, and it kills them
by its effect through the outside of
the body. To make kerosene emul-
sion take half pound of any hard
soap, one gallon of hot water and two
gallons of kerosene. Dissolve the
soap thoroughly in hot water, after
which the kerosene is to be added.
Stir briskly until the whole solution
has become white and milky, indicat-
ing the complete mixture of the soap
and oil. The easiest way to do the
stirring is to run the solution through
pump and back into the bucket or
barrel. Add about ten gallons of wa
ter to one gallon Of this stock solu-
ton and apply it with any small
spraying outfit. The solution is eff
fective for plant lice which damage
all kinds of shrubs and almost all
vegetables.

HOW JEROME FOUND HIS SISTER.

Jerome and Melissa lived in Ger
many. Their father died and they had
to help their mother earn money to
support the home. Melissa was to be
married as soon as Eustace, who had
gone to America, should send the
ticket, and he had been gone three
years. He wrote in his last letter
that the next time he wrote the let
ter would contain the ticket for Me-
Iissa to come to him, and now in the
little cottage, where Melissa and Je-
rome lived with their mother great
preparations were being made for the
voyage. There was a good business
for Jerome and his mother, and they
would be able to support themselves
when Melissa had gone, for Jerome
carried to the village each morning
In his little cart bread and cake made
by his mother and Melissa, and be-
sides liking the good thinks that he
brought the customers were always
glad to see Jerome and hear his CHEEKY
''Gut Morgen!"
Then one day Melissa sailed away
on the big ship. There were tears in
Melissa's eyes as she said good-by to
her mother and Jerome. "As soon as
Eustace and / have good business"
she said, there will be a letter with
tickets for you, and we shall be to-
gether again"

tried in all the ways that a dog can
to show his sympathy, and when the
tears kept on falling, he tried to win
his smiles by doing all the tricks that
Jerome had taught him, and they
were many.

her how the grocery store which Eus-

PROPER FEED FOR THE COLT
Fresh Pasture Grass Is Excellent
Supplement With OIL Meal, Bran,
Corn, Oats and Alfalfa.

Some farmers believe that a colt
will make up as horse the growth
that it does not make as a colt. AS a
matter of fact colt or any other
young animal that is not kept growing
is very likely never to become as
large and strong as it would have
been had it thrived while young. Tho
colt should receive the proper kind
of feed and be fed literally. The feed
should be nutritious and palatable.
Among the best colt feeds is fresh
pasture grass, This should be sup
plemented with oil meal, corn, oats,
bran and alfalfa or clover hay.
Where it is possible to do SO the
colts should be kept in the stable
away from flies during the day, given
all the alfalfa or clover hay they will
eat and one pound of the following
grain mixture to each 100 pounds of
colts; Six pounds of oats or corn,
