WILL PAY INDEMNITY
FOR LUSiTANEA LIVES
Germany in Message to Washington
Will Pay for Loss Of Lives. Also Safe
guard Travellers in Mediterranean

Washington. - Two communications
from Germany reached the United
States Friday, one containing a pro-
posa1 TO pay an indemnity for the
Americans lost in the Lusitania disas-
ter, and the other conveying assur-
ances that German submarine COM
manders operating in the Mediterran-
can would not torpedo noncombatant
ships of any character without warn
ing them and according safety TO their
passengers and crews.
The communications were delivered
to Secretary Lansing by Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador.
The secretary Immediately sent them
to President Wilson.
Officials at Washington made no
attempt to conceal their qualification
at the attitude Germany apparently
had assumed. 1t was considered to be
virtually in harmony with the Ameri-
can viewpoint.
Tension regarding the entire sub
marine question seemed to have less
ened considerably, Austria in its re-
ply to the last Ancona note having as
sured the United States of it's inten-
tions to operate submarines with due
regard for International law and the
principles of humanity. Turkey and
Bulgaria, it is understood, next will
take steps to give such guarantees.
1t is stated authoritatively that Ger
many and Austria-Hungary will use
their influence TO accomplish this end.
Under the terr1s of the proposal
submitted for the approval of the Unit
ed States, Germany, while offering to
pay an indemnity, makes the reserva-
tions that no admission of wrongdoing
thereby is involved. 1t is contended
that the Lusitania was sunk as an
act of reprisal for the British block
ade of Germany.

SORGHUMS GOOD FOR StLAGE
Trouble Caused by souring May Be
Avoided II Plants Are Allowed

By JOHN NJ. SCOTT. Vice Director of
Florida University Experiment Sta
TOM
Sorghums for silage should be cut
when the seeds are in the hard dough
stage or even when they are mature.
There has been some objection to the
sorghums because they are supposed
to make sour silage. 1t is likely that
this trouble will not be encountered
If they are allowed to mature suffi-
GENTLY.
Silage made from cowpeas and sor-
ghums is exceptionally good. The pro-
tein of cowpeas will counteract the
excess carbohydrates In the sorghum
and thus narrow the ration. Cut the
cowpeas when the pods have formed
and before they have filled. Make the
ratio half and half or two or three of
sorghum to one Of cowpeas. Beggar-
weed will also make an excellent mix
ture with sorghum.
Japanese cane makes good silage.
but Il is better when mixed with some
material to give 1t bulk and to coun-
teract the excess Of carbohydrates. 1t

By VI BOYER)
Up to about 1889, winter egg-pro-
ductiOn was not much of a feature.
great as the demand was, for the rea-
/ son that there seemed no possible way
of getting the hens down to solid work.
There was an Improvement, how
ever, when better houses, better feed
ing and better care were employed;
but still the supply was meager con-
sidering the output at the present day.
The matter of food finally became a
! serious subject, resulting in the con-
clusion that more animal food must
be placed on the bill of fare.
But, how TO furnish it economically
did not manifest itself until F. w
Mann. in 1889, invented and placed on
the market a crude machine, but
nevertheless, the initiative of the
present high-class green-bone cutters
now so extensively used. This was
the original bone cutter, and it is a
matter of poultry history that the term
bone cutter was actually coined by
Mr. Mann.
According to analysis by Prof James
E. Rice the nutritive value of green
bone is 1853, which is greater than
any other form of meat-meatscrap
dried blood, dried fish or animal meal.
Hens are worm and insect hunters,
must be supplied a substitute in some
form. Particularly in the summer, the
handiest meat food is meat scrap and
meat meal. many brands of which are
on the market.
Green bone is better for fall, winter
and early spring use. 1t is safe to
feed in an egg ration onetenth to one
fifth by weight of meat in the total
ration, the quantity varying with the
richness of the meat and other foods
used.
1t is best to mix the meat in the
real feed. But in the case Of green
cut bone it is more satisfactory to
feed in troughs. allowing a pound Of
green bone for every 16 fowls, or. an
ounce per head.
The animal foods the fowls gather
while on free range are usually high |
in percentage of heterogeneous matter,
and not a large proportion of fat. |
Many of the artificial foods, excepting
such as dried blood and skim milk
contain usually, besides heterogeneous
matter, a high percentage Of fat !
which is not especially desired in COM
pounding a ration.
For instance, both earthworms and |
contain nearly ten times !
as much protein as fat, while ordinary |
fresh cut bone contains about equal !
parts of protein and fat
Mistakes have been made in feeding /
green bone in giving too liberal a
quantity. An excess will produce
aggravated diarrhea and worms and
A too liberal supply of meat scrap is
apt to cause an overfat condition of
he fowls.
