REVOLUTION IN IRELAND
BLOODY FIGHTING IN IRISH CITY.
IOYALISTS GAIN CONTROL.
Attack on LaWestoft Other Outstand-
ing Item of Days War News
Budget.

A revolutionary outbreak in Ire
land, in which British troops and
volunteers sustained relatively heavy
casualties, and raid by German
battle cruiser squadron on the east
coast of England, in which the raiders
escaped after having bombarded
Lawestoft, are the outstanding fea-
lures of the war.
So far as has been made public, the
revolution in Ireland has not extend
ed beyond Dublin, where members
of the Sim Fein society on Monday
captured the postoffice and other
points in Dublin and in fighting
which ensued with the troops and
loyalists killed at least II of the
city's defenders and wounded nearly
a score Of others. What the losses o.:
the revolutionists were has not been
stated. The British government as
serts that the situation in Dublin is
well in hand.
The German battle cruiser squad
ron made it's attack on Lawestoft, op-
ening fire on the cost and killing two
men, one woman and child. Brit
ish light cuisers, torpedo boat de-
stroyers and aircraft chased the Ger
mans, who put back hastily toward
Germany Two British cruisers and
destroyer were hit by German
shells, but none was sunk. Whether
the Germans suffered any damage is
not known.
Except in Lorraine there has been
an entire absence of infantry fight
ing on the western front. The big
guns, however, have continued their
rain of shells on opposing positions
at various points.
At La Chapelotte, in Lorraine, the
Germans launched a heavy infantry
attack against the French, which was
repulsed. Some of the Germans OBJ.
tanned a footing in a portion OF the
French salient, but later were driven
out with heavy losses.
Around hill 304 and in the region
of Esnes and Cumieres, northwest of
Verdun, the bombardment continues
intense. To the east of Verdun,
around Moulainville, there also has
been violent bombardment. In the
Argonne the French have destroyed
with their guns a German post and
shattered a German trench over a
small front. Considerable aerial ac-
tivity by the French airmen, in which
four German machines were brought
down, is reported by Paris.
On the eastern front near Gar
bunovka, the Russians made heavy
attack against the Germans, but &C
cording to Berlin, were repulsed with
sanguinary losses. Heavy artillery
engagements still are in progress in
the upper Cordevole and Monte San
Michele zones of the Austro-Italian
front.
The British official communication
from Mesopotamia says the British
still are holding their lines on the
right bank of the Tigris against the
Turks, and have somewhat extended
them at one point by driving in the
Turkish pickets.

BEST TIME TO PRUNE THE GRAPE VINES

on shoots of the current seasons
growth, which in turn grow from buds
developed the previous season. All
pruning must, therefore, be based on
this characteristic of the plant. After
determining the system of pruning
best suited to the conditions, species
and variety the vine should be so
handled, during it's early life, as to
develop general framework of the
type desired.
The pruning the first winter after
the planting of the vines is determined
by the character of the growth made
by the plants If the growth has been
short and weak all the wood except
the strongest shoot should be removed
and this should be cut back to two
or three buds. If a strong growth has
been made and there is one straight,
well-ripened shoot, all other growth
should be removed and this cane cut
back to the height at which it Is in
tended to head the vine. This will
concentrate all the force and growth
Of the plant into the cane which is
to become the trunk of the vine.
From this only such shoots should be
allowed to grow as are needed for
shaping the vine for the following,
its first, fruiting season. After this
framework has been established, the
fruit-bearing part of the plant should
be SO pruned that it will be renewed
from year to year and so adjusted to
the variety and the food supply as
never to allow the plant to over
bear, but at the same time to induce
it to bear its full capacity. Under
such treatment the body of the plant
will gradually become stronger and
its fruiting capacity will increase cor
respondingly.
Not only do different countries have
different methods of pruning and
training, but methods often vary in
the several districts CT the Same coun-
try. Those interested in the methods
Of pruning ard training used n this
country will find them illustrated and
described in Farmers Bulletin No.

KEEP GARDEN SOIL
FREE FROM Jumps
Seeded Should Consist Of Well
Firmed and Fine Earth-Large
CIods Are Injurious.

(By DIR. J. o. MORGAN, Professor of
Agronomy. College Station, Texas.)
The reason why 1t is usually recon-
mended that soil in the garden be
deepened gradually is that the plow-
ing up Of large amount of dead, inert
subsoii at one operation results In
temporarily decreasing the producing
power of the land This is especially
true II the soil in question is under
lain with a plastic. impervious clay
subsoil. Such soil should be plowed
In the fall and the practice should be
to pillow from one to one and half
inches deeper each year than was
practiced the preceding year until the
soil has been deepened sufficiently.
The presence of clods in the seed
bed, whether they be on the surface
or underneath the surface, is injuri.
Gus because OF the fact that they de-
crease the water supply for the crop.
Large Jumps massed together under
meath the surface have between them
large air spaces. Such condition not
only allows the rain water to perco-
late to lower depths too rapidly, but
1t admits too much surface air, which
rapidly dries out the Jumps and robs
the seed bed of its moisture. The seed
bed should consist of we'll hrmed and
dne earth II the roots or crops are
to penetrate 1t readily.

(By c. 8. ANDERSON, Colorado.)
The jungle fowl. from which all our
modern breeds Of chickens have orig
mated, laid from twelve to fifteen
eggs a year when in its wild and nat
ural state. With years Of selection
we have succeeded In developing from
this low-producing fowl type of bird
The chief function Of which is egg pro
duction. Our present-day Leghorns,
and carefully selected fowls Of several
other breeds. lay close to 800 eggs an
nually, and in the course of q lifetime
more than q thousand.
An average hen Of the egg type
breeds will lay in years time five
times her body weight in eggs. TAX
ing the standard weight of eggs as "a
ounces per dozen, this means an egg
every three days during the year. To
accomplish this the hen must consume
nearly thirty times her body weight in
feed
The hen also has q market value
when she is no longer an egg producer.
Comparing the total marketable prod

GO TRAVELLING IN LAeooNs
Whole Community INDUCES In Fss-
time Of Fishing In South Pacific
islands.

The natives OF Barotonga, one of the
Islands In the South Pacific ocean,
have q singular method of catch ing
fish in which the whole community
takes part, according to the New York
Evening Journal. On the shore of
the island there are many long, mar
row lagoons. each lying between q
beach and an outer reef of coral, that
usually swarm with fish. The natives
choose one of these stretches of shall
low water for the fish drive, and close
all breaks in the reef by laying nets
across them or building up rough bar
riers with pieces of coral
When they have done that, 500 or
TOO men, women and children wade
into one end Of the lagoon carrying
little plated fiber bags filed with utu
nut. In most places the water is
about three feet deep and nowhere
more than four feet: so the natives
march slowly up the lagoon. trailing
behind them the bags Of utu nut. AS
this substance is wet 1t forms q Pc
culiar narcotic, which it diffuses
through the water. The process is
called poisoning the lagoon.
Half an hour Is allowed for the
poison" to spread. and at the end Of
] that time all the fish are under the
influence Of the drug and are sYim-
ming about In q confused and aimless
manner. The natives, armed with
.long4pronsed spears. form line that
reaches from side to side Of the la
COON, and drive the Intoxicated fish
before them. When the fish are all
collected st the farther end of the
lagoon the natives begin to cry. Eth
hu-hu-u-u!" and the barbed spears fly
In all directions. The natives are
very dexterous with the spears and
the fab are 80 sluggish, owing to the
effects Of the utu nut. that very few
Of them escape.
Many Of the poisoned fish seek
the shelter Of the coral reef and hide
in the crevices, and SO some of the ma

glass goggles and sink beneath the wa
tar, where they remain submerged for
one or two minutes. They feel about
