CITY OF CHIHUAHUA IS AGAIN IN HANDS
 OF CARRANZA'S MEN
Continued from Page oncp

(Continued from Page Onep trains are operating as far south as Jminez.
 Only meagre details of the fighting have been received. It was believed by Car ranza officers here that Villa left Chi huahua sometime yesterday over the Mex ico Northwest railroad, following the two trains of loot which he sent west after capturing the town and footing many of the stores, according to reports by the refugees.
 Many of his men were said to have been left behind when the trains left for the Guerrero district, where Villa and many of his bandit leaders have made their homes for years.
 VILLA FOLLOWERS PARDONED
 It was reported that many of the Villa followers who were left in the city were pardoned by the Carranza officers when it was learned they had been pressed into Villas srvice and had fought against their will.
 The troops concentrated in Jaurez were further increased late today by a train of 12 cattle cars that arrived from the south filled inside with mounts and ong top with troopers, equipment and women camp followers.
 Children of the Jaurez public schools gave an entertainment today in the local theatre, featuring patriotic and battia scenes, and were enthusiastically sps plauded.

The Alphons Custodis Chimney Con struction Go. of New York has put a force of men at work on the chimney to be built at the power house.
 It will agree to finish the work in 30 working days. At that it will not be ready within the time stipulated for in the contract which was 25 days from the date of notification that the foundation was ready. A large contract in Newark, N J., which it was advisable to finish be- fore coming to the borough, coupled with the non-arrival of two car loads of brick for the bottom part of the chimney, is the cause of the delay.
 Work at Groton station is always of interest because so many changes are made in such short time every day seeing some parts of inc construction work not noticed before appear very prominent. The west abutment is practically completed. Most of the foundation for the east abutment is done and the framework is up for the upper part of it. The underground cement work goes down perhaps 15 feet, eight or 10 being already under ground and five or six remaining above the level and will be filled in when the grade is made. The frame work for the temporary track is very near the water front. Most of the filling of Chapman's cove will go ir to the northward.

TREATINe PoTAToEs EoR scAs

There is large loss on potatoes each year from scab, much of which my be prevented by simple treatment. The spore or germ of the disease is carried on the seed, thus injecting the next crop. The spores will also live in the soil and for that reason field that hos grown scabby potatoes ttJ0uld not be planted with the same crop for a few years.
 Lime and manure do not cause scab as is often supposed. They do, how ever, produce conditions in the soil that favor the development of scab. It is safest then, to apply lime, or lime stone, after the potato crop rather than before. Manure will do less harm If applied the previous year.
 Method for Treating Seed: Several materials may be used, but the safest is Formalin, 49 per cent. (Forma1de- hyde). Make up a solution, at the rate of pint of F'orma1in to 30 gallons of water. Soak the uncut seed for two hours. It is best to treat the seed just before planting time so that they may be cut immediately after soaking. All bags, boxes, baskets or pails that are to contain the seed after treating, should be well sprinkIed with the so- lution. If the work is done on the barn floor, this should also be sprina ! led. The above amount of solution may be used for treating the seed for 2 or acres.
 Formain can be purchased at most | drug or hardware stores.

will live much better upon the ground from the start and the coop and run way should be moved to fresh soil at least every other day.
 Poults should be fed for the first time when they are 30 hours old. There are many different theories as to the best combination of feed for young turkeys, but it is very import ant to decide upon one ration and stick to it rather than to change from time to time before il1e turkeys are four weeks old. One fact upon which all turkey raisers agree is that poults should be fed a very little at a time as often as once every two hours for the first 10 days, leaving them a little bit hungry even after they had
 their feed. An important point in the feeding of young turkeys is that they should never receive any sloppy feed.
 The fact that they require rich ani- mai protein from the time they are matched makes 1t necessary to feed them hard boiled eggs and milk as a substitute for the flies and bugs that 1 they get when in the wild state.
 One hard boiled egg for every eight poults added to stale wheat bread or ! rolled oats mixed with hot milk and l then pressed very dry makes a good 1 feed for the first two weeks. The eggs should be crumbled, including the
 sIlells and all mixed with the bread or
 rolled oats and seasoned sparingly with black pepper. If cottage cheese 1 and claibbered milk can be obtained | this may be alternated with the boiled | egg for the first two weeks. After 1 this time the egg may be replaced by 1 the best grade of beef scraps and the | c1aIbbered milk kept before them all l or the time.
 l When the birds are given free range it is not necessary to feed them meat 1 scraps After two weeks mix
 ture of bread and eggs may be re- 1 placed with finely cracked wheat and 1 then followed, as son as the poults
 are large enough to eat it with whole l wheat. Corn meal is a dangerous feed
 for young turkeys particularly if fed dry, because it will ferment and kill 1 them, Both cracked corn and corn meal should be fed sparingly while | poults are young and should always
 be scalded before feeding.
 With the regular grain ration the 1 birds should be provided with plenty 1 of fresh water, clean sharp grit an6 granulated charcoal. It is also very Il important that they / have a. large amount of green food in the form oi
 dandelion leaves, sting nettle, radisf I tops onions tops, lettuce, or alrnost
 anything that is green and succulent
 Turkeys do not need coddling after ! they are two weeks old. It is fairly
 safe for the poults to go wherever they ! wish so long as they are not kept ou
 in the rain. Turkeys should never
 be permitted to run over ground witt
 chickens, ducks, geese or pigs bu should be gwen clean pasture o , their own. l. is important to kee1 the young poults free from lice b.
 the. use Of Persian insect powder a 1 dust or by a drop of olive oil ol the head or under the wings.
 The secret of raising turkeys sue cessfuHy is to keep them strong an H vigorous from inc start. Good sani Ii tary conditions and careful feedin
 will result in success when the breed : ing stock is good
