BUSINESS Of his condition and contradict
wild rumors circulated not long ago.
These reports received from Germany
through Switzerland say that the en-
peror is affected by malignant growth
in the throat which required small
operation. Although the operation was
slight, it is said, the greatest care was
indispensable owing to the delicate ma
ture of the organs affected.
A high church official who undertook
to secure this report was assured that
the doctors believed that if complica-
tions do not arise, a contingency they
think unlikely, the emperor VIII be able
to resume work this month or early in

CHICKS RELISH GREEN FOOC
Ma gels, Bets, Potatoes, SProuteo
Oats, Lettuce and Lawn Clip.
pinus Are Good.

Green food is necessary for little
chicks, according to the Connecticut
Agricultural college. Among the most
suitable and convenient crops for this
are mangels, table beets, potatoes,
sprouted oats, lettuce and lawn clip
pings. The season and availability will
usually decide what to use. The prln'
cipal thing is to use something OF
this nature. The feeding may begin
on the second or third day. The little
chicks must be taught to eat this OF
they may not develop an appetite for
it. If they are fed sparingly of grain
for few days they will soon get to
like the green feed. The mangels may
be cut in large pieces and placed on
nails for the chicks to peck at. Ap'
pies, etc., may be fed the same way.
Later in the season clover makes
an ideal feed. With a double yardina
system rye or oats may be used. One
Of the easiest ways to get green feeG
is to sprout grain. A layer of SAND
about two inches deep kept warm and
moist will soon produce lot Of oats
or barley sprouts.

HARM BY SQUASH BUGS
Insect Attacks Many Plants in
Vegetable Garden.
No Poison Can Be Applied That Is Ef.
fective-Anything With Strong
Odor Will Act as RepelIant-
Keep Close Watch.

The squash bug attacks squashes,
pumpkins, cucumbers and such plants,
often running the crop in a day, if
nothing is done to overcome them. No
poison can be applied that is effective,
rs the insects work Is done on the
under side Of the leaves where the poi
son will not reach. They also do their
work in the early morning while the
dew is still on the foliage. Anything
with strong odor will act as re-
pellant, also material like air-slakeo
lime or Underground land plaster will
have q marked effect in keeping theln
away.
Careful watch should be kept for the
first appearance of the bugs. At the
first sign of them, sprinkle the hills
with the dry material, on which JUST
enough crude carbolic acid has been
sprayed to give the material a strong
odor. Quick action must be the watch
word. One day Of delay means the loss
Of the crops. Cantaloupe vines seem
particularly susceptible to the attacks
and they seem to succumb to the raw
ages of the insects more quickly than
sQuashes and cucumbers.
There is another remedy frequently
used, where it is obtainable, and 1t
gives excellent result. 1t is fish scrap,

little small charcoal on the soil to keep
it sweet and fresh. The cress is cut
with a knife. The barrel must be

CLOCK HOLDS SHIPS SAFETY
Chronometer Is the Most wonderful
and Accurate Timekeeper
Made.

A ships chronometer is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon it's accuracy depend
the lives of all on board. So accurate,
indeed, is a ships chronometer that 1t
does not vary second day.
An error Of only a few seconds may
put captain of vessel miles out OF
his reckoning at sea, and run the ship
into great danger. For that reason
every ships timepiece goes through
the most thorough tests before it IS
pronounced perfect.
1t is set going in very hot room
and then transferred to cold one, for
it may be used in any part of the
world, from the polar regions to the
tropics, and it must always keep good
time.
Most large vessels have three chro-
nometers on board in case Of accidents,
and whenever vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see if they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amidships
because there is the least motion and
the smallest variation of temperature.

besides repelling the bugs, serves an
excellent purpose as a fertilizer. Two
dustings with the powder, if no heavy

One application of the fish scrap Is
usually sufficient, if there are no rains
to wash it away. What damage the

ORCHARD SITE is IMPORTANT
Wherever Possible Trees Should Be
Planted on WeII-Drained Soil,
With Southern Slope.

A good site is important when start
ing an orchard and if possible the trees
should be planted on well-drained
southern slope. In some sections where
early frosts cause serious losses a
northern slope is the best, as the buds
will not come out as early in the spring,
This reduces the danger of losing tho
crop, but in general fruit growers seem
to profit most on the well-drained
southern slope. Hardy varieties that
are cared for properly will usually
thrive in any well-drained soil of fair
fertility.

sIL0 IS NECESSARY TO DAIRY
Grazing Land Then Can Give Way to
Exercise Lot-Roughage Is Con-
served for Feed.

The intelligent farmer of today has
silo to take the place of his grazing
or pasture land, and finds it real econ
omy, says De Laval Monthly. In fact,
there are some dairy farmers in the
dairy sections Of our country who have
only an exercise lot in place of pas
ture land, and nearly all their farm
roughage is conserved for feed during
the summer and winter. They have
their summer and winter silOs. These
farmers rapidly learn the advantages
of winter dairying, which are: A
greater milk and butter production,
better prices for milk and butterfat,
better quality Of calves, hence better
dairy cattle, and better prices for their
crops, by feeding them to their own
live stock at that season of the year.
Winter dairying also enables the
farmer to employ the best kind OF
labor because it is possible to give
steady employment the year round.
