j. 5. TROOPS WILL
NOT Be WITHDRAWN
REDISPoslTloN OF AMERICAN
FORCES RECOMMENDED BY
GENERAL FUNSTON.
PLANS APPROVED BY BAKER
Government Determined to Maintain
Expedition Until Carranza Govern
ment Demonstrates Its Ability to
Capture and Crush Villa.

shington.-General Funston has
recommended redisposition OF
American troops in Mexico on lines
approved by Secretary of War Baker
after conference with President
Wilson and General Bliss, acting
chief of staff
1t was said that no recommendation
for withdrawal of the troops had
come from General Scott, chief of
staff, now at San Antonio, or from
any other officer on the border, and
that there is no intention on the part
of the government to withdraw them
at this time.
The Washington government has
determined to maintain the expedi.
ton in Mexico until the Carranza
government has demonstrated its abil-
ity to capture or crush Villa and his
adherents and prevent repetitions OF
the Columbus raid.
In the meantime, the American
troops will be SO placed as to safe
guard the border towns by virtually
policing the area south of the line
where General Carranza has been
heretofore unable to check bandit ope-
rations.
Secretary Baker announced the ad-
ministrations decision as follows:
General Funston has recommended
a redisposition of the forces in Mexi-
CO for the purpose of recuperation
and pending opportunities for further
cooperating with the Carranza forces.
The recommendation has been ap-
proved and its execution left to his
discretion"
Later the secretary dictated the
following:
1.-The statement I have made indi-
Gates nothing whatever on the sub
ject of when the American troops will
be withdrawn from Mexico. The whole
subject of withdrawal of the forces
is under arrangement and negotiation
by the State Department

A little ground charcoal mixed with
the chicks feed will help keep away
digestive troubles.
Common salts will prove reliable
laxative where physic is needed In
the treatment of swine.
Onions, beets, spinach, radishes and
lettuce may be sown as soon as the
ground can be worked easily.
Eggs cannot be produced without
heterogeneous food in some shape.
Bones are absolutely essential.
1t is the wise poultryman who
studies the comfort of his fowls.
The period of gest alton with the SOW
is 112 days, or 16 weeks. and seldom
varies TO a great extent. Keep your
service record accordingly.
A small plot, even if it is not moro
than a rod square, on which new
seeds can be tried out is interesting
and quite often of real value.
The hog raiser is getting started
right when he buys few well bred
sows or pure bred boar. Let every
farmer aim to produce better hogs.
Any man who has ever had corns or
bunions can sympathize with horse
that has tender feet from any cause.

FARM NOTES.

Plant quart or two of onion sets
as soon as the ground can be worked.
White or yellow sets of the smallest
size are best
With turkeys 1t is well to avoid in
breeding, but It is better to keep the
same male two years and mate to his
own offspring than TO select trio
Of chicks year after year without in
PRODUCING fresh blood.
A weed cut before seeding means
hundreds less for the ground to be
feeding.
Charcoal Is one of the most essen
tial articles in the food in successful
poultry farming. Place ears of corn
on cob in oven until charred and then
shell off corn and feed to chickens. An
immediate change will be noticed in
the condition of fowls and egg pro-
duction.
Don't spend all your money for
chickens and have none left to buy
houses or feed And also don't spend
1t all for huoses and leave out the
chickens.
Are you keeping your cows warm
and comfortable?
