poultry business, but I would earnestly caution him against going into the busi- ness unless he has had thorough experi- ence, either at short course or on a practical farm or, better yet, poth This experience alone will ot insure success unless he has capital enough to finance the enterprise. Ny advice to the city man with a good position would be, to get the fever, start along the lines above mentioned, save pail tlfe cash possible from the city Job, and at the same time keep a few birds for the sake of expe- rience and to find out whether he is the possessor of a natural liking for such work.
 Above all things know what 1t means to care for chickens; not keep chickens for they should keep you.

PREVENTING LOSSES
 AMONG THE CHIClAC

The percentage of losses in poul- try raising is perhaps larger than in any other branch of animal husbandry. The prevention of these losses therefore becomes one of the most important branches of poultry raising. Statistics and experience show that the greatest losses occur among the young chicks and 1t therefore requires the most careful attention to the flock in it's early days to insure development and eventual profits.
 The little chicks are most sus- ceptible to germ diseases, colds and ether ailments, but practically all of the mare preventable.
 Next week article will give many suggestions on how to treat this really big problem in poultry cul- ture. Look for it next Sunday, appearing exclusively in The Age Herald.

WHEN BUILDING THE CHIMNEY
Care in Avoiding Defects Would Do
Much to Prevent Disastrous Con-
flagrations.

A great majority Of the fires, as
shown by statistics, are caused by de-
fective chimneys. Therefore, so far as
safety from fire is concerned, the chin
ney is one of the most important fea.
lures of the new house. Money spent
here is we'll spent, so do not skingp on
the chimney.
A good foundation carried below
ground level is an absolute necessity;
also care in the construction of the
chimney, to prevent burning SCOT COM
ing in contact with any woodwork, is
important.
Built of either brick or cement,
there should be a seamless column ex-
tending above the ridge of the roof.
The flues should be sufficient in num-
Der and properly placed. There should
be separate fiues for the heating sys-
TEN and the kitchen range, and an
other for the fireplace.

There was never any doubt of Book.
er Washington's love for the South and
for the southern people-the whites as
well as blacks. He declared in many
OF his public addresses, North and
South. that the southern whites were
nj best friends of the Negroes-the
friends who In the end must he de.
pended upon to bring about their com
plete redemption.
He taught his own people that the
pathway to their happiness and sue.
cess lay in the cultivation of the good.
Will and friendship of their white
neighbors. He explained to their sym.
pathizing friends in the North that
they could do much. but there we're
peculiar ties between the races in the
south that must never be disturbed,
FOR the Negro could not prosper in the
North, and that he could never be un.
derstood and appreciated there as in
the South.
Washington's love for the South and
Inc southern people is characteristic
OF the great mass of the Negro race in
America. Even where he owns no
land, the Negro still loves the soil as
II 1t were his. The sunshine, the trees,
the flowers, the animals, the birds, the
streams and all the beauties of south.
ern nature are dear to the Negroes
heart. The South is home, even when
he is homeless.
The old southern melodies which all
southern people love so well tell in
sweet sentiment and pathetic strains
the Negroes love of the South. my
Old Kentucky Home" Garry Me Back
to Old Virginia "S'wanee Ribber,"
Darling Chloe" and Dixie are ten
derby expressive of the Negroes love
of the South and his yearning when
absent to return to it's familiar scenes
But this love of the southern land is
secondary to his attachment for the
southern white people. 1t is the south
ern white people who make the South
home for the Negro. The supreme OBJ
legation that he W to the people OF
the North has commanded for them
his gratitude and respect, but it has
never won his affection. That is still
the portion of his former masters and
their descendants and il is inalienable.
Its foundation lies deep in tradition, in
sympathy, in understanding, in pa
tience and in a common interest.
So when Washington, standing at
the bounds of life where his burdens
were about to fall, turned from the
stirring scenes about him and looked
longingly toward his southern home.
1t is not the least of the many fine
traits of Negro character, and southern
white people should never forget in
dealing with the race problem that it
involves a people whose love for the
South is open to question. and
whose attachment for them, beginning
more than 200 years ago.. is strong.

PRUNING peelduous frees.

Do not be afraid to prune %deciduous
trees and shrubs now, simply for the
reason that they are carrying green
leaves. 1t is a good rule to prune the
shrubs Just as oon as they are past
blooming. Trees, however large, may
be profitably pruned now, unless the
entire top is to be removed. Small
branches need no treatment subse-
quent to pruning, but large cuts should
be treated with linseed oil, paint, as
phalt, tar or any protective substance
that will exclude air and form and
maintain a film over the wound. The
latter will then start to heal owe this
season and the work be vigorously re.
newed In early spring.

Almost daily n hears rumors re-
garding the damage inflicted on the
British battleship Queen Elizabeth. at
the Dardanelles. An authentic report
says the only damage inflicted by the
Turkish batteries were a hole through
one OF the tunnels and a few dents in
the bow. The other damage was
caused by her own guns. The recoil
OF the 15-inch guns vas so tremendous
that the ship shook from stem to
stern. This caused mirrors and furni-
ture in the officers quarters and the
cabins to be shaken from the walls or
upset. ornamentations became loorl J..
and even the buttons we're ripped from
the uniforms of the gunners. After
several months heavy firing In the
Dardanelles the recoil OF the guns
loosened up many of the plates and it
was necessary for the Queen Elizabeth
to retire temporarily. She is being

FOR BETTER SCHOOL GROUND
Los Angeles Newspaper Urges the
7eautifyina OF Lands Adjacent to
Such Buildings.

The subcommittee on schools of the
1915 identifying committee, together
with the judges in the school grounds
contest, have Joined forces in asking
that the work OF identifying the
grounds of schools in Los Angeles
county be continued until every one of
them shall be we'll embellished with
trees, shrubs and plants. The writer
sincerely hopes that the judges,
Messrs. Lahee, Kienholz and Mcqueen,
will aid the subcommittee in the
preparation Of a report sufficiently
definite and specific in its recon-
mendations SO that a practical pro-
longation of the present line of work
may be assured until not only all the
schoolgrounds of this country shall
be artistically planted, but the move
ment spread to include all our beauti-
full southland.
In the past PEOPLE who should be
most interested have often proved
unusually a~pathetic on the question of
establishment Of school grounds. 1t
has been a matter of wonderment to
the writer why the one piece of
ground in a community in which all
have common ownership and in which
all have a common interest should be
the only m neglected. Yet such has
proved to be true in a score of cases
coming under observation. Now sem
timent is undergoing a rapid change
for the better. The impetus given the
identifying of school grounds by the
1915 committee will be f~ar-reaching
and permanent. If the n suggestion
made be carried out, namely, that no
prize winner of the present year be
allowed to compete for two years, the
time will come when nearly all will
have won n or more prizes and all
will be more or less beautiful. The
county should have an official adviser
to visit and report upon ways and
means of improving each school, or,
better still, the county should hire
some competent designer to plan every
school ground in the county. Then
would all have the same foundation
on which to begin work-the only prop
er foundation.-Los Angeles Times.
