FULL GERMAN FLEET ENGAGED;

The full German high sea fleet was
engaged under personal com mand or
Vice Admiral Scheer. the energeuc
German commander who succeeded Ad-
miral Won Pohl. The British fleet IS
now estimated at approximately twice
as strong in guns and ships as that
under Admiral Scheer.
Scene of Engagement.
Detailed reports have not yet been re-
ceived, but the main engagement appar-
emily occurred about 125 miles southwest
of the southern extremity of Norway, and
$50 miles off the Danish coast The bat
tie was divided into two sections. The
day engagement began at about o'clock
in the afternoon and continued until dark
ness, or about o'clock. This was fol-
lowed by a series of separate engage
ments through the night.
The exact ranges and courses OF the
day fight have not been ascertained. 1t
gagement were not extreme, possibly at a
distance of about eight miles, as the
weather was hazy
The German torpedo boats and de-
stroyers were more effective than the
British, accounting to considerable ex-

against an overwhelmingly superior force
1t is understood the Queen Mary and the

A more profitable sideline than tur-
keys for the farmer can hardly be
found for those who are favorably stu
ated for raising them, according to
w. A. Lippincott, professor of poultry
husbandry in the Kansas state agri-
cultural college.
Improper feeding, combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
of many failures in turkey raising"
says Professor Lippincott. "Given
free range on the average farm, the
poults can generally pick UP their
own living. One light feed day for
the purpose of inducing them to come
in at night is sufficient.
IF the mother hen is confined to q
coop and the poults are allowed to
run in and out, three times day is
often enough to feed and very little
should be given at time The poults
should always be ready to eat--if they
times day, indigestion will result.
If there is little or no food outside the
coop for the poults to pick up, they
should be fed five times day, only
a small quantity at time.
"A good feed for the first few days
after the brood is Matched is stale
bread soaked in milk and then
squeezed dry Corn-bread crumbs
and clabbered milk or cottage cheese
is often fed with excellent results.
Green feed and grit should be on hand
at all times. AS poults grow older,
the ration should gradually be
changed to grain"
Freedom is the main essential in the
care of the adults, says Professor Lip
pineott. With plenty of range where
the turkeys can find insects, green
vegetation, the seeds of weeds and
grasses, and waste grain, the cost of
raising them is small while the profits
are large.
Grain and stock farms in the west
ern part OF the state are particularly
well adapted to turkey raising, and
especially Is this noticeable in grass

taught to swim, however, they soon

There are in existence only two imi
portant herds of fur seals, one OF
which has its breeding ground in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus.
STA, the other In the Pribilof Islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter Is much the larger.
The pribilof islands are government

LIME AND MINERAL MATTER
To Prevent soft-ShelIed Eggs Hens
Must Have Proper Ingredients
Exercise is Good.

Soft-shelled eggs are primarily due
to the improper working of the egg
laying organs. This often comes about
because the hen is not supplied with
sufficient lime and mineral matter in
her ration. Sometimes, too, large
supply of animal food will unduly ex-
cite the organs, preventing them from
their proper function. Overlooking
hens is another cause. When the
cause is located, the remedy sug-
gests itself. For overlooking or
overstimulation, supply 20 to SO
grains. Of epson salts as dose for
the adult fowl and regulate the feed.
ing methods. The medicine may be
applied in the drinking water or in
the food. Exercise will take away the
attention of the hens from the soft
shelled eggs.

NEST SATISFACTORY TO HEN

Next time you find nest of eggs

A nest to prove satisfactory should
be shallow enough to permit hen to
turn her eggs properly. 1t should be
fiat enough to permit the newly
Matched chicks to lie where they are
when released from the shell instead
of sliding down into the bottom and
having the eggs roll on top of them.

The use Of the road drag is i'm.

Drags are often constructed OF
planks instead of logs. The plank

die line by 2 by 6-inch strip. A tri-
angular strip may, be used under the
lower edge of the blade to give the
proper cutting slope.
