No Job for a Tired Man

The experience cited is but typical of
many other similar caseS. However, do
not fail TO appreciate the fact that not
every one who begins as did this man
can succeed in the. same degree. for
there are many qualifications both as
to the man an1 his ability A man, to
succeed in such an undertaking, must
nrst have some experience in the care
and management of birds, secured from
actual contact with them. He must not
think for a minute that a one-man
poultry flock is lazy mans job; ii is
not: but for the man looking for in
teresting, continuous. healthy outdoor
work, there is none better.
Capital is necessary to insure the sue
cess OF such venture as described.
The family mentioned began poultry
work with $4,000 in cash, of which
$1,000 was left in the bank for working
capital The start was made with but
900 birds. which was increased to 5Uf
the second year. 500 the third year. and
1000 the fourth year, at which point IN
has since been maintained

FOREIGN PRESS COMMENT.
Views of Papers in Paris, London,
Budapest. The Hague and Rome.

PARIS. December 81. 4:4o pm, de-
Ilayed.-Great interest is shown here in
the Austrian reply to the American
note. La Liberte characterizes Aus
| tria's answer as "a backdown which
is verbose. and is made with bad
grace" 1t asserts the Austrian ac-
count of the sinking of the Ancona is
at complete variance with the evidence
obtained by the American inquiry.
The Intransigeant publishes the
Austrian reply under the heading:
Vienna making game of the United
States.
LONDON, January 1. 2:2o a.m.-The
London papers are not yet in posses
sion of the full text of the latest note
from Austria Hungary to the United
States regarding the sinking of the
steamer Ancona. but all publish the
summary received yesterday with
headlines, in which the words eva
sion" and PREPARATION" are the most
prominent.
BUDAPEST, via London, January l.
In commenting on the Austro -Hunga-
States regarding the sinking of the
steamer Ancona, the Poster Lloyd says:
THE manner in which the Ancona case
has been settled. thanks to the chivalry
disappointment for the entente. The
hope that German-American relations
would be broken as a necessary conse-
quence of the incident will be dis
appointed by the tone of the Austro-
Hungarian note"
The Poster Journal says it hopes that
the readiness of Austria Hungary to
meet the wishes of the United States
will be appreciated in Washington and
that the incident will be regarded as
settled.
THE HAGUE, via London. January 1.
The Nieuwe Courant aracterizes
the Austro- Hungarian reply to the note
from the United States regarding the
Ancona incident as veled in diplomatic
retreat. The paper adds that the readi-
ness of the Vienna government to COM
pensate the victims even with a gap
in the American evidence" shows that
Austria Hungary is anxious to main
tain good relations with America, but
that this is not SO important as Wash
ington's victory over Vienna on the
submarine question.
The Courant says that the Austro-
Hungarian government confesses that
the rights of humanity were infringed.
ROME. December 81. S45 pm. CDe-
layed. The Tribuna, in commentingon
the Austro- Hungarian reply to the note
from the United States regarding the An

WINTER CARE OF HORSES.
"Roughing" Animals Keeps Them in
Better Condition Than if Grain Fed.

Farm economy requires that during
the winter months the live stock, par
ticularly the farm horses. shall be
properly fed and cared for. but at the
same time proper management de-
mands that feeding cost be reduced
as far as is reasonably possible with
out impairing the condition of the ami
mails. Horses improperly fed and cared
for during the winter cannot be ex-
pected to come out in the spring in
condition to round to quickly for the
seasons work.
At this time of the year practically
all the heavy work on most farms has
been finished. and with the approach
of winter horses are more or less idle.
Since idle horses give no return in labor
performed. the feeding should be as
economical as possible, and proper care
should be taken of the animals in order
that they may be in the best possible
condition for work in the early spring.
Horses should not be confined to the
barn during the winter on a liberal
supply of grain. 1t is far better to
rough" them through the cold months.
They should be given the run of the
yard or lot during the day This should
that is thoroughly dry and well pro-
vided with bedding. While nature does
her part and protects the horse with Il
heavy coat of hair during the cold
months, the shed is necessary in order
to afford the necessary shelter and pro-
lection against rains. snow and cold
winds. Winter winds come mostly
from the north and northwest. and the
shed should be SO situated and con-
structed as to give the proper protec-
ton from this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses the
high-priced feeds should be avoided
in order to keep them in proper condi-
tion at the lowest cost. 1t has been
found that idle horses do very well on
a winter feed consisting of all the hay,
oat straw. cornstalks or sorghums they
will consume. so that little grain is
necessary. Idleness also permits of a
more thorough mastication of the feed,
thus insuring proper digestion.
From six to eight weeks before the
spring work is started the horses
should be put at light work and started
on a small grain ration in order that
they may be in proper condition for the
work required of them. The grain
ration may then be gradually increased
until the regular allowance has been
reached for the working season.
Growing colts require considerable
protein. They should be SO fed as to
secure proper development and at 4
minimum cost. Rough feed. such as
clean mixed hay. alfalfa or clover. may
be fed along with a mixture of bran,
oats and corn.
