may be put forward? For instance, why not require Germany to supply so many tons of steel, cement, timber, stone, bricks, for rebuilding devasta- ted Belgium? Why not agree to trad ing conventions that would allow the Allies the benefit of mutual trade and commerce? Why not get certain ad- vantages owe. land rates between the west of Europe and Russia across Germany? And other similar conces- sions will readily occur. The object of these would not be, like that of an indemnity, to disarm and weaken the vanquished; butt would be a possi- ble policy to arrange or services on terms which would obviously be ad- vantageous to the victors.

NEGLECT OF SCIENCE CAUSE
 OF ENGLAND'S MISTAKES.

LONDON-Neglect of science is responsible for England's mistakes, ac- cording to Prof. E. B. Poulton O. OK ford University. In speaking of science and the great war;, he said:
 Nearly all our failures in the pres ent conflict, have been due to the na- tional neglect of science and the ex- cessive predominance in Parliament and especially in the government of the spirit that is the most antagonis- tic to science-the spirit of the advo- cate"
 The great danger of the lowyer- politician in time of crisis, according to the speaker. is that he has been accustomed to live in an atmosphere of compromise. of action based on finding a mean between conflicting in terests and of scrupulous regard for precendent. In war, the advocate makes the worst possible guide. The British government has decided a number of vital issues without scienti- fic evidence and even then. for the sake of appearance. has clung 10 it's mistakes. As the result, thousands of lives have been sacrificed.
 As an instance in point. Prof. Foul ton spoke of the ignorance of science on the part of the ministry that had to be driven into declaring flats, oils, and cotton as contraband. One third of the German ammunition for heavy guns consists of nitro-glycerine. and fats are the only source of glycerine.
 The speaker pronounced it danger ous for a country whose prosperity depends on science to be ruled by politicians and civil servants utterly ignorant of scientific knowledge. Manufactures are based on applied science. Great Britain is a manufac- turing country.
 While Britain has taken greater lead in the development of science than Germany. science still stands apart in the general educational scheme. In Germany, science is put to every possible use by the govern ment German success in trench war fare has been entirely due to science. The British government, on the other hand, long delayed asking for an ac- cepting advice on scientific aspects or war from men qualified to speak.

BIRDS SPREAD HOG CHOLERA
Pigeons Flying From One Farm to An.
other Carry Germs Of Dread Dis
ease on Their Feet,

Unconfned pigeons flying from
farm to farm frequently carry the
germs of hog cholera on their feet
and infect a neighborhood which is
then at a loss to understand how the
outbreak Of cholera came about. The
same is true of buzzards. On several
occasions when investigations OF
sources Of hog cholera infections In
this state were made by a veterinarian
from Clemson college, the buzzard was
found to be to blame. Statistics pub.
lished in another state show that
pigeons are responsible for about %
per cent Of the spread OF hog cholera
and 1t is estimated that they caused
in this way in 1915 about fifteen mil,
lions of dollars damage in the United
States.-Clemson College Bulletin.

LEGS AND LIVER OF CHICKEN
Make Hens Scratch for Their Food,
Advises Poultry Expert-Fat
Fowls Make Records.

There is a correlation between the
legs and the liver of a chicken. Liver
activity is absolutely necessary for
egg production. SO make the hens
scratch for their food, is the advice of
N. L. Harris. superintendent of poul.
try, Kansas State Agricultural college.
"All grains should be fed in a deep
litter" says Mr.. Harris. "Oat straw
or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose.
Hens should be fed literally but should
not be fed until they are willing to
work for their food"
There is an old-time fallacy that a
hen can become too fat to lay. Elk
periments have been carried on to de-
termine the laying ability Of fat and
lean hens, and in every instance the
fat hens have outlaid the lean ones
The egg begins its formation with the
yolk. which is practically all fat, and
so it Is absolutely essential that a hen
have excess fat before eggs are
formed. A hen does not laying
from an oversupply of fat. in the opin'
ion Of MI. Harris, but because her legs
and liver are not working to their full
capacity.

Elephants and CameIs Drill.

Elephants and camels, carrying two
machine-gun sections Of the Twenty
eight company Of the United States
marine corps Quartered at the exposi.
ton at San Diego, Cal, took part in ex.
detrimental nCkeuvers and quickly
demonstrated the feasibility Of their
use in actual warfare conditions such
as now obtain in Mexico.
Mounting one operator and tripod
machine gun to an elephant, attended
by several United States marines on
foot, the elephants displayed surpris-
ing agility in %traversing over rough
ground and wheeling into proper POSI-
ton for firing. The elephants, when
ordered to lie down, made q perfect
treastworks, behind which the ma
rines were enabled In 80 seconds to
employ an effective machine-gu1 fire.
Both elephants and cariels would
prove useful in an extended campaign,
such as the present one in Mexico, al
official declared, for both can carry
large loads and can go long distances
without water. Elephants are more
ervou under fire than canels; but
with proper training they can be cured

ONE-CROP SYSTEM NOT SAFE
Objections Given by Bradford Knapp
at Conference Of Bankers-Dlver-
sification ls Remedy.

seven objections to a one-crop sys-
tenn Of agriculture are set forth in Cir
cular No. Sc of the Office Of the sec.
rotary, which is a reprint Of an ad-
dress delivered by Bradford Knapp at
q conference of southern bankers.
The reasons why a one-crop system Is
unsafe are stated by Mr.. Knapp to be
as follows:
"First-Because the system de-
ponds upon market and crop condi-
lions Of the one crop alone. Failure
OF crop or failure of market alike
bring serious disaster.
"Second-Because it falls to provide
for the maintenance of soil fertility.
"Third-Because it fails to provide
for a SUFFICIENT livestock industry to
onsume the waste products Of the
farm and make its waste lands pro-
ductive.
"Fourth-Because It does not pro-
vide for a system of farm manage
ment under which labor, teams, and
tools may be used to the fullest advan-
tage.
"Fifth-Because it brings return in
cash, but once a year instead Of turn
ing the money over more than once
a year.
''Sixth-Because it does not pro-
duce the necessary foods to supply
the people upon the farm and keep
them in health and strength.
"Seventh-It limits knowledge, mar
rows citizenship, and does not foster
home building, but does encourage
commercial farming"
The remedy for these evils is diver
sifcation. Diversification, however,
means something else than a change
from growing cotton to growing some
thing else. One Louisiana man, who
believed that he was a convert to di-
versification, planted 500 acres Of to-
matoes. In other instances farmers
turned from cotton to corn and had
nothing else for sale in the fall. This.
Of course. is not Investigation at all.

toned were canker, going light, and

ment was prevention; by keeping ev.
everything clean, using disinfectants
freely, and killing sick or diseased
pigeons. Remedies mentioned for pre-.
venting sickness were the use of kero-
sene oil. permansanate of potash, lime,
copper sulphate, carbolic acid, quassia
chips, epson salts, venetian red, tine
ture Of g~entian, or a tonic in the drink

treating canker, and kerosene Oil for
roup. A few allowed diseased pigeons
their freedom when they had been

KEEP HENS FREE FROM LICE
Fowls Should Be Examined and Dust
ed Thoroughly With Good Pow
der or Blue Ointment.

Examine the pullets and hens for
lice, and dust thoroughly with a good
Insect powder, or apply a mixture of
two parts vaseline and one part mer-
curial or blue ointment, about the size
Of a pea, one inch below the vent
of the bird, rubbing the mixture light
ly on the skin.
An application of this ointment two
or three times a year will keep the
fowls free from lice. Where insect
powder is used. it should be applied
three or four times q year, or oftener

Provide a small box in the house

Silage is the cheapest rough feed

silos find that after charging IN the

that three tons of silage will feed a
