is given to modern methods and the
little details which are now consid-
cred as absolutely essential to success
with poultry.
Until very recently the poultry on
most farms has been a mixture of all
sorts and breeds all running togeth-
er. and you might travel for miles
and visit farms and not be able to
see one purebred fowl Of standard
variety. But that time has passed
and many farmers are keeping moth
ing but purebred fowls, though there
is still far too much of the mongrel
variety which is of very little value
being raised. though this is decreas-
ing year by year as the farmers are
becoming educated better along this
line.
For a long time it has been the
rule that any place on the farm was
good enough for the hens and they
have often had to live and even raise
their young under the very poorest
conditions. often being obliged to live
in the hogpen and wade around
among their filth. What can be ex-
pected OF poultry raised In any such
manner? Surely not very much. No
farmer would expect any return of
profit from any of the rest of his live
stock on the farm unless he fed and
cared for it we'll. The same rule holds
good with poultry. 1t is a fact that
the hens will give better and clearer
profit without feed, except what they
pick up, and without the proper at
tention (all but gathering up the eggs)
than any other living animal on the
farm. How much more could be ex-
pected of them, then, If the right kind
of attention be given them. The pro-
gressive farmer ought to make all
he can out of every branch on the
farm. Why pay all of his attention
to one line and entirely neglect an

TREAT BaRB-wrRE INJURIES
Do Not Apply Axle Grease or Any
Rancid Ointment to Wound-Re-
move AT Foreign Substances.

tBy DIR A. 8. ALEXANDER. Wisconsin
Agricultural Coiiege.)
This ie the season Of the year whom
stoekmen are most freenontly an
noyed with barb-wire injuries to their
horses just few things to bear
in mind at such times suggested:
After e barb-wire accident, do not
apply axle grease or any rancid oint-
ment to the wound. Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
clip the hair as close as possible
around 1t, and wash again to remove
any hair or other foreign substance.
When sand or hair has lodged in
the depths of deep cut never use q
wet sponge to clean it out. Use a
piece of absorbent cotton or cotton
of infection.
1t will be useless to put stitches in
a wound that is very deep or ragged.
or that is located in a place not in
perfect rest when the animal Is max
ing natural movements
Dry busting powder has a healing
effect on barb-wire wounds and other
large, moist cuts and abrasions. Such
a powder may be prepared cheaply by
mixing together equal parts of slaked
lime. sulphur and charcoal.
Prevent lockjaw dangers in nail
wounds of the hoof by opening them
up freely, which provides drainage for
serum and pus. Saturate with solu.
tion of corrosive sublimate and water
in the proportion of l to 500. Cover
with busting powder, absorbent cotton
ami bandage This treatment should
be repeated daily until the wound is
healed

MUCH HORSE POWER is LOST
Full Use of Animals Would Materially

CRv W. ]. sPILLMAN.,


Carefully conducted Investigations
by the agricultural department of the
University of Minnesota. as we'll as
those conducted by the office of farm
management of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. show that
under ordinary conditions on Ameri-
can farms work horses are utilized
only about three and a half hours a
day on the average. Horse power is
thus utilized to less than half its ca
pacity. Per unit of work done this
power costs more than twice what it
should cost The full utilization OF the
power actually available would thus
reduce materially the cost of produc
ing crops. The cost of keeping work
horse is on the average about $l25 q
year. The average utilization Of the
horse is about 1850 hours year. at
an hourly cost Of ten cents per hour

London.-Strangest looking of all
the ships with the grand fleet is the
Atlantic liner which has been trans
formed into a mother-ship for the sea-
planes. There are platforms in place
of the promenades where passengers
used to lounge, bombs in place of
deck quoits, and the dining salons
have been fitted up as workshops
Everything that seaplane needs in
the way of repairs can be supplied
A crane that once had taken pas
sengers' trunks out of the hold lifted
a seaplane off a platform and deposit
ed it on the water, where it bounced on
the waves before the motor was start
ed and it SKINNED across the surface
for hundred yards or more, rose, cir
cled around the fleet two or three
times and then disappeared out at sea.
Most of the romance and the action
of sea warfare while the British grand
fleet waits for the German feet to
come out are with the seaplanes and
the destroyers. The dreadnaughts re-
cruises into the North sea; but the
planes and the destroyers are always

r ONDON, March 16.--In the

war, the German light cruiser
Dresden was sunk yesterday off
Juan Fernandez Island. 400 miles

lasted just FIVE minutes.
At the end Of that time, the
Dresden, ahre and helpless,

cred their small boats. Those of
the crew still alive were taken off
and sent to Valparaiso. A few

In announcing the result, the

Germans suffered heavily.

Juan Fernandez Island is not

in the war, the Dresden, then one
of the units in the feet of Adj

Christopher Craddock, with his
flagship, the Good Hope, and the
companion cruiser Monmouth.
Dresden Escaped Once
From that action the Glasgow
was the only British cruiser to
escape. Later, Count Won Specs
squadron was overwhelmed in
the battle of the Falkland
Islands, and from that action,
the Dresden, in turn, was the
only German cruiser to escape.
Yesterday the two met and the
score was settled. The British,
however, as in all their other sue

bringing to bear on the enemy
much the heavier weight Of
