The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-03-17

Britain, and Italy, in the Autumn of
1913, at once demanded that the
claims of their subjects be also paid
and at 100 cents of their face
it did not even have sufficient reve.
nues to pay CURRENT salaries of its
employees, and tpleaeed for further
time.
What follows is not yet a matter of
record, but is told by the Nicaraguan
officials as follows:
Having failed to get the debts due
their subjects paid by Nicaragua, the
German. Italian, and British Govern
ments transferred their activity to
Washington, their respective Ambas-
sadors taking up their case against
Nicaragua with the Secretary of State.
This is where the Monroe Doctrine
comes into play. If the United
States has any rights under the Mon
roe Doctrine, it also has some obHga-
tiona 1t is not known just what the
Ambassadors said to the Secretary
but it is rumored that it was some
thing to the effect that the United
States must see to it$that Nicaragua
paid its debt, or permit the creditor
nations to make her do it. It is I'M
derstood that Secretary Bryan asked
the European representatives to be
patient, and that in time Nicaragua
would pay their claims.
Where the money is to come from
nobody in Nicaragua knows. The
unbonding floating debt and claims
amount in gross or face value to
some 100000, not all regarded in
equity worth 100 cents on the dollar,
however. This would not be a large
sum for some countries, but for a
little nation like Nicaragua, whose in
come is only 100000 or so a year,
and which is able to meet necessary
current expenses only by the greatest
economy, it is apparent that to pay
debts also will be a financial feat Of
the first water. The Nicaraguan
Government has done everything the
United States has requested it to do
for over five years, as the records
show.
What the outcome will be is a prob
lem. - If the debts to foreigners are
not paid by the time the European
war ends, or a reasonable time there
after, which seems improbable, it is
feared the European Governments
will press for payment again. 1t will
then be a pertinent question which
the United States will have to meet
through the State Department, Wheth-
er the Monroe Doctrine means any
thing or not. ~

wards Olive Tablets are Harm

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the

are the result of DR.. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel

These pleasant little tablets do
the good that caIomel, does but
have no bad after effects. They

to let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take

Historic Rose Tree.

The most venerable rose tree in ex-
istence is said to bloom against the
ancient church of Hildesheim, in Ger
many Notwithstanding the many par
ties which at different times have been
in the ascendancy, they all seem to
have respected and tended the rose
tree, which, it is said, was planted by
Charlema gne. The trunk is now al
most as big as a mans body. There
are five principal limbs treined against
the church, the tree being protected by
iron ratings Enclosing an area of about
twenty-six square feet. The German
soldiers in early ages tended the tree;
Catholics and Protestants, in turn mas
tiers of the town, drained the ground
the soldiers of Turen~e fastened up
the branches with clamps, and those
of Napoleon, a century and a half
later, erected the ratings.

First Steam Press.

On Nov. 20, 1914, a newspaper for
the first time was printed by steam.
Although the application of steam pow
er to printing machinery had been
successfully experimental with some
years previously, the hostility of the
working printers rendered it unadvis-
able for the masters to introduce such
startling innovation into their print
ing houses. Toward the end of 1914,
however, the growing circulation OF
the Times made a change of some kind
necessary, and in the face of fierce OPP
position the second John Walter set
up a steam printing press. So on the
morning of Nov. 20 the leading article
of the Times announced to its readers
that they held in their hands that day
copy of the first newspaper to be
printed by steam.-LOndOn Answers.

hens and allowed to hatch the pouIts
themselves, or at night a newly
Matched. pou1t can be slipped under
each turkey hen that is to be given a
brood of poults and by morning she
will be glad to take them.
Lice are a great annoyance to set
ting hens and are one of the worst
enemies of young pou1ts. To prevent
their getting a foothold, dust the hen
thoroughly, with some good lice pow
der before she is placed on the nest
and once a week thereafter while she
is setting The nesting material
should be kept clean, and if the eggs
become dirty they should be washed
with 1ukewarm water.
Breeding.
IF the weather is warm and dry no
shelter is required, as the poults do
better in the open. Should it be
rainy, however. they need to be pro-
tected, for nothing is more injurious
than for them to become wet and
chilled. The most satisfactory plan is
to confine the mother turkey hen to a
coop and allow the pou1ts to run in
and out whenever rain does not pre-
vent. This coop should be placed in
a field where they can run out and
find grasshoppers, green vegetation,
and other feed. The coop should be
moved to fresh ground every day.
Improper feeding, combined with
close confinement, has been the cause
of many failures in turkey raising
Given free range on the average farm,
the pouIts can easily pick up their
own living, and one light feed a day
for the purpose of inducing them to
come in a might is sufficient. If
the mother hen is confined to a coop
and the pou1ts 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 given all they will
clean up several times a day, indiges-
ton will be the result. If there is
little or no feed outside the coop for
the pou1ts to pick up, then they should
be fed about five times a day, feeding
only a small quantity at a time. A
good feed for the first few days is
stale bread soaked in milk and squeez-
ed dry. Corn bread crumbs and clab-
bered milk or cottage cheese is also
quite often fed and with excellent re-
suits. Green feed and grit should be
on hand at all times AS the poults
grow older, the ration should gradu-
ally be changed to grain.
