LIBERAL FEED AFTER HATCH
Hen Should BE Encouraged to Remain
on Nest With Chicks for First
Forty-Eight Hours.

1t is a good plan to see that the
hen Is fed very literally Immediately
after Matching. as It will tend to keep
her quiet and brood the little ones
very closely the first As hours. Do
not allow her to start on through the
meadow or plowed field stringing the
little ones after her to become lost or
injured, when a little feed. such as
whole corn, fed Immediately after the
hatch is over, will retain her on the
nest.

TIME BETWEEN CHICK FEEDS

The time between night and morn

can be shortened by feeding early and

feed little and often.
Chicks must be induced to exercise.

chaff or me litter and feed the cracked
grain in the litter, The chicks scratch

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Twelve cities
in which are to be located the federal
farm loan banks have been announced
by the farm loan boa7u, and it is ex.
pected that within so days the new
system will be- in operation, ready to
make the loans for which applications
already are pouring in from every part

Stock Books Open Jan. 2.
Stock subscription books of the

ply most of the $S,000,O00 capital un-
der that section of the law which en-
powers the Secretary of the Treasury
to make up the unsubscribed stock.
Temporary directors, five of each
bank, will be named, probably within
the next three weeks, by the board. AS
soon as the banks have been organized
and borrowers have subscribed to
100000 of the stock of each bank, the
temporary directors will surrender
their authority to boards of nine d.
rectors each, six of whom will be
named by the farmer borrowers and
three by the farm loan board.
Each Borrower Must Subscribe.
Each borrower must subscribe to
stock in the bank from which he bor-
rows to the extent of per cent of his
loan and the original subscribers to
the capital stock are requested to sur
render their holdings as they may be
needed to meet this situation.

PROVES PLEDGES VIOLATED
EVIDENCE IN ARABIA CASE Is
CABLED TO GERMANY.
Communication Skaters Teuton Do
Tense Of Act According to State De-
misunderstanding Note Seen.

Washington, Dec 2S.-As the FORE
runner of another warning to Germany
on the conduct of submarine warfare
Secretary of State Robert Lansing has
cabled to Ambassador James w. Ger
ard instructions to present to the Ber-
lin government what the president
regards as proof of violation of the
German pledge to the United States
when German submarine sank the
passenger liner Arabia without warn
ind.
Evidence From Great Britain.
This proof is the form of evidence
from Great Britain showing that the
ship never had been in the transport
service; that it was not transporting
troops, that it was following the ordin.
airy route taken by passenger steamers
and that there was no justification for
the attack.
The communication which Is to be
presented to Berlin completely shat
tiers the German defense, according to
the state department, and makes tho
sinking of this ship clean cut case
of violating the pledge which the i'm.
perial German government made to
President Wilson after the sinking of
the channel packet Sussex last March.
Forerunner Of Warning.
The action taken by Secretary Lam
sing is regarded here as forerunner
to the anticipated note of warning
which the president will shortly dis
patch to Berlin. It is of added sig
nificance because the presidents peace
plea and particularly Secretary Lans-
ing's subsequent explanation were
closely affiliated with present threat
ening submarine situation.
State department officials indicated
that the U-boat warning might be dis.
patched even sooner than expected.
It's object will be not to only warn
Germany that illegal submarine war.
fare must definitely cease, but to coun-
teract the impression of pro-Ally crit.
les of the administration that the viii.
son peace note was a pro-German
move.
