 Washington, Jan. 12. = Secretary lansing, with the approval of Presi- dent Wilson, today despatched7 tc Consul SilHman at oueretaro for pres entation to General Carranza a. note denouncing the staying of Americans near Chihuahua by Mexican bandits and calling upon Stheh head of the de facto government dor cthe immediate pursuit, capture and punishment of the perpetrators of the deed.
 The note urged the sending of troops to other districts where Americans are in danger of losing their lives or prop erty. ,as..c
 At the same time the state depart ment ordered an investigation of the murders with a view of determining whether they resulted from the failure of the de facto government to give proper protection in a zone known by 1t to be dangerous or whether the men lost their. lives as-4the result .asof . bandit outbreak which could not have been forSseen.
 Instructions to seek inforrna ton were telegraphed to consular representatives in Mexico and along the boEder.1e
 Tn the note to General Carranza the killing of the Americans was described as "a dastardly crime, committed in ter ritory announced to be in e,control of the Carranzas forces.

AN IMPORTANT BY-PRoDucT.
PouItrymen Overlook the Value of
 Manure They May Obtain.

An important by-product of the poultry business which is seldom con- sidered seriously is. poultry manure. The value of this product is of special importance this year because of the high price of chemical fertilizers, and all poultry keepers should make ev- cry effort to conserve this vast is frequently more than half-wasted. It has been estimated that the void- ings of an average hen for one year weigh approximately 50 pounds.
 One hundred pounds of poultry ma nure properly handled contains 8 of a pound of organic nitrogen, .52- pound of pllosphoric acid, and .254- pound of potash. [ At the present price of these fertilizing materials in chem icaI form the droppings from one hen in one year are worth more than 50 cents. Therefore the poultryman with 100 hens has a sure income from his hens of $50 whether they lay any eggs or not if he goes to the. trouble of caring for his poultry manure prop erly.
 E Poultry manure contains more nit rogen than any other farm manure, because in birds the execretionl of the kidneys remains with the undigested portions of the food. This form of nitrogen is very readily available to plants, but unfortunately it is not stable. The decaying processes which set in as soon as much is stored, be- caEse of the heat generated causes it to change to ammonia compounds. One third to one-ha1f of the nitrogen passes off as anonia gas.
 It is frequently recommended that stable manure be spread directly upon the ground in order to prevent the

BUILDING ACTIVITY IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT
SOUTH MANcHEsTER.


 Plans have been completed for a new recreation building which Cheney Bros. will erect in the spring on School street in connection with the group of buildings which are plan ned for them and two of which were erected last year. It is expected to erect a library building on the fourth side of the quadrangle. The build ing to- be erected this year will be 210x50 feet, two stories high and basement, the central section which extends 116 feet will have high gravel gambrel roof which will be largely of glass while the two wings, each 50 feet long, will have fiat roof It will be of brick and stone construction. The eastern section will be fitted up for the use of the men while the west section will be arranged for women. There will be a large central hall for social purposes also arranged for a buffet lunch counter. The second floor will be used chiefly for a gym nasiun, the main room being 46xS0 feet, 40 feet high. It will have gall lery with cork running track. There will also be several meeting rooms arranged on this floor The basement contains two bowling alleys and swim ming tank, 21x60 feet, which will be filled with filtered water kept at an even temperature. There will also be eight shower baths, a number of pri- vate dressing rooms, numerous lock- CTS etc. The heating will be from the central plant which was constructed for the two buildings already erect ed. It is expected that >estimates will be invited in the near future.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

nitrogen from burning off. This meth cd. however, is not practical in the handling of poultry manure because large percentage of the ammonia will pass off into the air even if it is spread out on the frozen ground in the winter. On this account it is necessary for it to be stored and so treated that large percentage of moisture shall be absorbed which will prevent heating and the escaping of ammonia gas. Because of the ex- cess of nitrogen in this form of ferti- | ltzer there should be added con- siderable amount of acid phosphate, and in ordinary years some potash.
 Because of the high price of potash this year it is not practical to pur- chase it for these purposes, and acid phosphate may be used in little larger quantities. Even the latter is too ex- peEsive- to use in sufficient amounts to take care of the excess moisture, and in addition to it, there should be considerable amount of some dry material such as. sawdust, dry loam or peat which will act as an absorb ent and which will help to make a fertilizer which can be easily handled For example, a mixture of 30 pounds poultry manure, 10 pounds of saw dust, 20 pounds of acid phosphate would carry about .25 of 1 per cent nitrogen, 5 per cent phosphoric acid and I of l per cent potash.
 Manure should be stored in barrels in the case of poultrymen who have but few hens, or in open sheds or spe- cially constructed manure pits where it is held in large quantities. It should not be applied to the ground until few days before it is to be used for cropping purposes and be- cause of it's availability it is especial ly desirable for top dressing meadow lands or lawns or for bringing about rapid growth in corn, potatoes, or garden crops. Any form of lime or wood ashes should never be used in connection with poultry manure be- cause the calcium which both of these materials contNins sets free the ann monia almost immediately.

to use it at one time. This will pro- vide another activity for the fowls during the winter
 The morning ration for the hens should be fed very sparingly, par ticularly in extreme cold weather when 1t will be wise to feed once or twice some of the grain during the day just few handfuls scattered well in the" litter of palatable wholesome grain that the hens will be anxious to work for In addition to the extra feeding or two of scratch grain, green food in any form broken into small particles so that the hens will have to work for 1t will add one more activity for them when they are prone to stand about in the corners. f- Although green cut bone is too ex- pensiye to feed regularly, that will be
 another incentive for a great deal of exercise on the part of the fowls for extra cold days. The feeding of sour milk at intervals during the, day in small quantities will help to stir the birds into activity. A warm mash If fed in proper quantities will be help ful on cold days.-more for the pur-
 pose of stimulating greater activity on
 the part of the fowls in their efforts to get 1t, than because it will fill their to warm their bodies. It should there
 fore be fed in very limited quantities and scattered we'll about the house. Birds that are handled in this way on cold days will continue to increase their egg production through January and February even if the tempera- ture does go below zero. Fowls that
 are neglected and left to their own | resources will stand about in the cor ners and on the roosts. become cold and cheerless and their egg production will suffer accordingly.

ALFALFA HAY.
Preferable to Wheat Bran But Alfalfa Meal is Not Substitute for Latter.

A dairy farmer writes for infor- nation relative to substituting alfalfa meal for wheat bran in the ration for his cows says the New England Farm.
 We have heard a good many dairy men discuss this question. some claim ing that alfalfa meal is a substitute for bran, and others claiming that it is not Not long ago We discussed this subject with an experienced feeder of dairy cows and he took the stand that alfalfa meal as a grain ration is infe- rior to wheat bran. gde did state, how ever, that he considers first-class a1- falfa hay is more economical to feed than alfalfa meal, and were he obliged to choose between alfalfa hay and wheat bran he would accept the hay in preference to the bran. But in refer ence to the comparative value of al- falfa meal and wheat bran, Dean Hen ing, cites experiments which prove conclusively that alfalfa meal is not a.substitute a for wheat bran. Accord ing to Henry, the Vermont station ,un- dertook to substitute alfalfa meal for the same weight of wheat bran and found a loss of from 8 to per cent. in milk flow caused thereby. At the Pennsylvania station a loss of 5 per cent resulted from the substitution. Similar results were secured at the Massachusetts station.
 Doubtless the loss is attributable to the difference in the percentage of crude protein between alfalfa meal and wheat bran, the difference amount ing to about two per cent. in favor of the bran. It all comes back to the same old proposition, you cannot rob a SOW of crude protein without hay ing the COW slow up in her milk flow.

GRAPE VINES.
Canes Should. Be Cut Back to Two
 Buds Each.

When a man trims his vines of bearing age, he cuts to build the vine for next years crop and for years of future usefulness. Hence he must keep only buds that will tell for future use- fitness, and only such arms or run ners as will replace or develop the structure of his vines. For the latter purpose only vigorous canes should be retained.
 For next years fruit crop he wants only the, most vigorous buds-those which next year will grow branches 50 or 60 inches long, with large shad- ing leaves and fine clusters of fruit. Such buds are upon the rank canes which are to be cut back to spurs dur ing the dormant season. These canes should be cut back to two buds each. On vigorous canes there is always a good space between the buds which gives ample room for the growth of laterals next year.
 There are frequently branches that are more meager in growth; they are short, the leaves were small during the growing season! and the buds are close. perhaps two or three inches apart. It is a mistake to leave two buds on spurs of such canes They should be cut back to one bud each.
 The work of pruning may be done any time in the late fall or winter when the weather is not severely cold, and the. cut should be made about midway between the last bud to be retained and the bud on the portion to be discarded.

NEED LONG GROWING SEASON.

With the lack of the necessary amount of fertilizers to be supplied the coming season, 1t is desirable to have as long a growing season as Is possible This means that the farmer should take advantage of the first few days of the spring. Many. how ever, are not able to take advantage of these few days of the growing sea- son due to the large amount of water which will be found in the soil late in the spring unless drainage is given early in the season. On other fields it will be possible to get upon them if the work of the spring season Is so planned as to enable one to do 1t. Frequently there is such a lack of plan that there is not time. Conse- ,quentiy several days are lost for the growing plant. This means lessened yields in many instances which should be avoided. It Is the first days in the season which are extremely im- portant, because as much growth should be made as can be before the summer drouth appears. A good root system should be obtained. and this requires time.

ARMED ITALIAN LINER
 REMAINS AT NEW YORK
Clearance Papers Have Not Been Sought for Steamship Giuseppe Verdi

New York, Jan. 12.-Clearance papers have not been sought for the Italian steamship Giuseppe Verdi, which ar rived here last Thursday with two naval guns mounted aft, and which was due to leave today on her return trip to Italy. Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port. announced to- night that no application has been made for permission to sail.
 The vessel lay at her dock tonight with about 500 passengers aboard be- sides cargo and mails. Officers of the ship said the delay in sailing was due to the question which has arisen over her armament. The voyage probably will be delayed until an agreement has been reached between ther state de- partment and the Italian ambassador at Washington.
 The two guns were still in position on the after deck of the steamship when the customs house closed for the day. It was said at Mr. Malone's of- flee that while clearance papers have not been asked. none would be granted until advices had been received from Washington covering the question.
 Unusual precautions have been taken by the officials of the line to guard the vessel while in port:
 C The baggage of each passenger was carefully inspected, before it was taken on board.

CARING FOR POULTRY.
Houses ShouId Be Cleaned When Foul
 and Rations Carefully Regulated.

Poultry houses should be cleaned just as often as they become foul. Where birds are kept coined all the time or where they are crowded close ly it will be necessary to clean much oftener than under ideal conditions. Birds will not Exercise as they should if they have to work in dirty litter and a great deal of feed is sure to be wasted. A dirt floor provides one moro thing for the hens to do, that is, to wallow in the sun, but a dirt floor is very unsanitary, and 1t is better to have a concrete or board floor and cover it with four inches of fine gravel before the hens go into winter quar- ters. This serves the same purpose as a dirt floor and Is much cleaner. Where it is impossible to get enough fine gravel to cover the entire floor,
