OLD HEN MATCHES OUT
BIG BROOD OF TURTLES

Muskogee correspondence Cleveland
Plain Dealer: Frank Fain, poultry
fancier, has the queerest brood of
Chickens" ever in his poultry yards
out on Majesty street, this city.
Fain, in walking along the sandy
shores of the Grand river few weeks
back, unearthed nest of turtle eggs.
Gathering them up, he carried them
home and placed them under an old
setting hen that had been threatening
things for some time.
"A few days ago." said Fain, ~
heard the old hen making an awful
fuss and went out to investigate.
Blamed if she hadn't Matched out the
whole mess of turtle eggs and was
about crazy trying to keep track of
and account for her strange brood.
"Mother instinct, however, finally
allayed her fears, and she is now hap
Ply with her youngsters as any old
hen could be with chicks.
"She scratches around the yard with
the turtles trtiling after her, and
when she unearths grub or worm and
clucks, as motherly hens are wont to
do, the little quadrupeds scurry to her
from every direction and gobble up
the tid-bit.
Zone of the little things accidentally
fell into pan of water and the old
hen raised Ned. The turtle was cheep-
ing like the chickens and seemed not to
know what to do. It would have
drowned if had not rushed to the res
cue.
"The little brood are contented and
happy and have started to cheep al
most like chickens. ! expect to hear
them crow when they get old enough.
At night the old hen gathers them
in the nest and they look just too cute
for anything with their little heads
sticking out in all directions from her
ruffied feathers.
4The other hens absolutely shun
them and the rooster hops on the
fence wenever they come around.
As soon as they have grown enough
for broilers my wife and l are going
to have one for dinner, Just to see if
there is any truth in that old sorry
that a part Of turtles breast tastes
like chicken.
Originally there were thirteen in
the brood, but the old COW stepped on
one"

STOP LEAKS IN FARM WORK
System Of coordlnated Effort Should
Be Worked Out and See Where
Savings Can Be Made.

One of the great things on the farm
Ia to see that the leaks are looked af-
ter, not only stopping one leak, but
also the taking Of a general survey OF
all the departments of farm work. en-
deayoring to make a saving wherever
there IL loss. Most OF US are familiar
with the story OF the Holland boy who
discovered leak In the dyke and
stuck his thumb In 1t to keep the sea
from breaking through and flooding
the land below. The story goes that
the leak grew in size and the lad was
forced to put In his fist. then his arm.
then his body. AS we recall II now, at
that point the story ends and nothing
was told US regarding the later re-
pairs or about the funeral Of the boy
From this fable we gather an idea
regarding the farmers who are In the
habit Of discovering leaks In farm
work, and for awhile the farmer en-
deavors to stop up the leak, then he
may discover that there IL anothsE
leak and forget about the first and
what may be buried therein. It is bet
ter to not look at one OF the leaks. but
to investigate the entire system Of
farm practice to see If there is not an
opportunity to stop more than one leak
II they may be found. Some system
Of coordinated effort should be worked
out. Such actions save great deal
OF energy that is now expended IN
useless and ineffective spurts. The
point is, endeavor to stop not only the
main leak and then get lost In that Eff
fort. but look over the entire field Of
work and see where savings can be
made 10 all lines

FOREIGN ALLIANCES.

There has been much discussion in the past two years of the possibility of league alliance of tons to compel bellgerents to neutral rights It has been urged both here and abroad. that the States should take the lead in organizing such league Only few days ago the premier of Sweden made pub lie statement evidently intended invite such action
 The unofficial response of state department was to the effect that the United would herring to its established policy long ago laid down by Washington of mo entangling alliances" Most Ameri cans seem unwilling sacrifice traditional isolation for salutary purpose lining up the peaceful world in support international law It is felt that as the strongest neutral power it is sufficient for the spokesman of that law leaving smaller neutras to follow example without being any way bound them.
 That is doubt the wisest policy for the present And yet it is becoming evident to progressive think CTS that remain permanently in our isolation that may have join our fortunes definitely with some other group powers. It well to play lone hand while lasts to avoid snares but after the shall partners if we are to make sure of own future and the of the world
 change of policy is foreshadowed utterances of American statesmen and writers of all parties The idea of league peace has the sup port or both the big presidential candidates, and of both expresidents is foregone conclusion that there any federation of powers formed prevent war, the United States will belong it and take active part in it.
 That, of course will mean the entrance the United States, for the first time in it's history foreign alliance. It is against precedent; is the world situation It is against the Washingtons advice but President Wilson remarked the other day Wash ington would probably look the thing differently alive today
