TIME FOR PROPER MATCHING
Character Of Range Must Be Consid
ered-confined Fowls Do Not
Develop Very Rapidly,

Growing chicks that have, during
the summer, been provided with an
abundance of range, shade and green
food will grow much more rapidly
and more evenly than those crowded
into small bare yards. The character
of the range must, therefore, be con.
sidered in deciding on the time for
proper Matching.
II the chicks are Matched too early
they are apt to go into a fall mott af-
ter laying a few eggs in the summer,
ana are not likely to resume laying
again until well into the winter, or
after one or more of the most profta-
BILE laying months have passed. On
the other hand, they should be
Matched early enough to allow a suffi-
cient time for normal maturity be-
fore the coming of cold weather in
the fall.

breast meat, because they have natur-
ally long breasts with great width be
tween the thighs.
These qualities can be improved by
carefully selecting breeding stock. us
ing only hens that are of heavy
weight. with great length of body. con-
siderable width between the thighs
and long breast bones. The males
used should be cockerels of the same
type, but with little more length of
leg.
Both males and females should be
close feathered, with scant hook, leg
and toe feathering. Brahmas Of this
type were great favorites few years
ago for market poultry. They were
partly lost sight of for some time, but
are again being bred to some extent in
the poultry districts Of New England,

Settler Water.

Settler water is a natural mineral
water, but a good imitation of 1t may
be made in a seltzogene or gasogene
by using the following to a quart OF
water: Fused chloride of calcium, four
grains; chloride of magnesium, II
grains; chloride of sodium. Is grains
citrate of iron one-half grain; tartario
acid, two drachms; bicarbonate OF
soda, two and one-half drachms. Or
binary soda water may be made by
adding a mixture of two drachms tar
taric acid and two and one-half
drachms bicarbonate of soda to a
quart of water.

Natures Workings.

How plants absorb nitrogen from
the soil is utterly unknown. No ami
NAL must get the large quantities OF
nitrogen that are necessary to it by
using plants for food. When the ami
NAL or the plant dies the constituents
OF it's body are returned to the earth,
where the bacteria of putrefaction
break up the elaborate organic chemi-
cal compounds upon which the plants
again eau iced.

MONEY AND ITS MAKING

To make money is comparatively
easy. To save 1t Is more difficult.
To make 1t grow is problem.
And not all of us are able to solve
the problem.
But IL ever there was time when
we faced the opportunities for MAX
ing money grow, that time is now.
Everybody knows that the pros
perity of the nation depends prlma-
rily upon the farmer and his crops
nature is good to him, his yield is
bountiful and he becomes the har-
binger of an area of prosperity.
When the farmer is plentifully
supplied with funds he wants new
machinery and more machinery, and
the making of these gives employ
ment to millions of people.
These people in turn have money
to spend and the merchant begins
to increase the volume of his bust
ness and gather in greater profits.
And as it is with these, so it is
all down the line and extending into
every industry and into every home
This year the farmers of this
country marketed the greatest crop
in history, the total value of the
leading crops reaching the astound-
ing figure of over $,2SO,000,0 900.
This exceeds last years yield by
over s415, ,00O,.
The making of money by the peo-
pie Of this community the coming
year will depend upon the farmers
of our community. If they increase
their acreage the wealth of the COM
munity will be enhansed in proper
ton, and through the logical routine
of barter and trade it finds it's way
into every artery Of town, farm and
countryside.
The year to come will witness a
tremendous demand for farm prod
ucts. This demand will come from
every section of the globe and the
buyer pays in gold.
For this reason We urge upon
every farmer the advisability, even
the vital Importance, of cultivating
every possible foot of ground, even
to the doubling of your acreage if
such thing be within the bounds
of possibility.
The opportunity for makingmon-
ey is before you--the greatest you
have ever seen, possibly greater
than you ever will see again.
You are our mainstay, our back
bone, the one man upon whom we
all depend, to whom we all turn as
the child turns to it's mother.
Your success will be our success.
your prosperity our prosperity, your
advancement our advancement.
You are the man OF the hour, and
the opportunity is before you.

GAINS OF ONE YEAR

AUSTRO-HUNGARiAN ATTACK RE
SUITED IN FORMATION OF A
CURVING FRONT.

Berlin.-"The fighting in the South
ern Tyrol has evolved into a mobile
campaign" says correspondent at
the front with the hungarian
forces.
The successes won during the first
offensive are of incomparabiy more
significance than all those obtained by
the Italians during the entire previous
year The Italians at no time succeed
ed in turning the warfare to another
form than frontal attacks. in which
success are without effect upon neigh
boring sectors. The AustrO-HungarIan
attack. however. resulted in the for
nation of a curving front, an advance
along which provided an increasing
number of sectors which could be me-
naced by outfanking movements and
taken under a crOss-fire. For this rea-
son the Austrians were enabled to
make the relatively large gains they
have scored.
in the course of a few days the
AusurO-lIungarians rSgained a large
part of the terrain, which they had
given up voluntarily at the beginning
of the war. and, in addition. crossed
the enemy's frontier at several points.
The success was especially notable in
the FOlgaria Plateau. which had been
a pivot in the defensive system about
Trent. but has now become a base for
attack. From the Folgaria Plateau
the crown princes troops began an
Irresistible advance toward the south,
after tie left wing in the Sugana Val
ley had insured its safe,y by inc
storming of Armentara Ridge and af-
ter the right wing had likewise Sc
cured itself in the Adige Valley by
the storming of Lugna Torta.'

UNiTfDSTATFS TROOPS

TECT THE 6OPDER

Washington Il was sta ed authori-
tatively that American TROOPS viii not
be withdrawn from Mexico until the
Carranza authorities demons rate con,
troll of the situation sufficient to pro.
tect the American border.
A reply TO that effect probably will
ba made TO Gen. CarrauZa note.
President Wilson was represented a.
ready To withdraw the troops wneh
possible, but determined 10 wait until
tie Carranza forces can control the
situation.
Steps were taken by the War De
partment to obtain more definite IN
formation Of the disposition OF Car
rama troops in chihuahua. 1t was
said that the Carranza note prompted
the action Of military officials With
out regard TO the diplomatic phases
Of the situation.
Gen. Funston has been asked "a

information of the whereabouts oil

felt for the safety of Gen. Pershng
columns. but in view Of the state
ments in Gen. CarranZa's note 1t Is
desired to know as accurately as pos
sible what the movements Of his force!
are.
1t was explained AT the War Depart
ment that the real mission OF the O.;
petition at this time was to prev<:t
attacks upon the wide sections of ne

Mexico. As a question of military
strategy. it is considered that only
