Care Of the Small Flock

Washington, d. c., April 6.-For
the f&nily which wishes to keep
pou3tty for home consumption rath-
er ln&l for the market, the sc-called
yynerai Jurlosc breeds are better
suited nan what are known as the
esg-;ITilg breeds. Plymouth Rocks,
WganGottes, Rhode Island Reds and
uIp;nSi ons are ali good varieties for
he average person who does not in
lend to go into the poultry business
on considerable scale. These
breeds are good layers and they also
make good table poultry. Further
more, they will hatch their own
eggs md brood their own chickens.
whereas, the Leghorns and other
breeds Of the egg-laying class do moi
sit, and the use of expensive incuba-
tors and breeders is necessary in or
der to rerpetUate these fiocks.
The prime essentials for small
poultry house are fresh air, dryness.
sunlight, and space enough to keep
the birds conf octable. For the gen
erai-purpose breeds about square
feet of floor space should be allowed
for each bird. The fowls should al

too small the ground quickly be-
comes foul and in time makes it diff
ficult to rear chickens with good sue
cess. In order to avoid foulness it
is advisable to divide the lot and to
SOW part of it to the quick-growing
grains such as oats, wheat, or rye.
The hens are turned on to the grow

eggs the fowls should be fed both a
dry mash and scratch ration. The
dry mash may consist OF equal parts
of corn meal, bran, middlings and
beef scrap. This should be kept be-
fore the birds in hopper all the
time. A good scratch ration is made
up of equal parts of corn, wheat, and
oats, fed in litter to 5 inches
deep, twice daily. 1t is desirable
that the birds should eat about as
much of this as of the mash. This
means feeding about l quart of mix
ed grain daily to IL Plymouth Rock
hens or to IA Leghorns, and an equal
weight OF mash. Usually waste ia

Washington, April 5.-Reassuran-
ces as to the property and persons OF
all foreigners who conduct themsel-

White House today in the form of a
telegr am to Mayor George N. Seger,
of Passaic, N. j., from Presidential
Secretary Tumulty.
The telegram reads:
There is no danger OF any Tor

Owing to the large foreign popu-

advisable by Mayors of different
cities to issue proclamations that
the property and liberty of these for
eigners would not neces1 arily be
jeopardized in event of WEI.
Before taking such action, how
ever, they desired to get an opinion
from the Government, and Secretary
Tumulty, upon advice of Secretary
Lansing. today wired the statement
covering this Government attitude.

With the strong fortress of LaOn as their objective, French troops continue their brilliant advance toward the Ailette river from the heights above he Aisne, northeast of Soissons.

 The German resistance is declared to have been most desperate, but the French maintained their advances and in addition to inflicting heavy losses on the Germans took more than 4,300 prisoners Saturday. The total nris- oners taken during the same operations in the same territory on Friday was 1000. making the total for the two days offensive more than $500.
 In the operations about LaffauX the French carried a salient in the Hin denburg line of which Laon, twelve miles to the northeast, is the strongest point in this territory. From Cerny 10 the Ailette river is three miles and LaOn lies about six miles directly north of the Ailette.

 The Germans put their whole avail able strength into the effort to holo three heights which were the objective of the French attack.

 WASHINGTON May 5.-The treas P ury was buried beneath an avalanche of subscriptions to the liberty loan to- day. Yesterdays pace of S20,0O0. 900 an hour was quickened to almost $500,- 900 a minute, and it became apparent that the $2O00 000000 offering would be over subscribed beyond all previous estimates.
 Computation Of subscriptions received today was beyond physical possibility with the present working staff. Prob- ably one-tourth of the offering already had been spoken for Officials listed subscriptions received up to D. m. and found that during the six hours of working time since the last compilation the country had subscribed to $ll2,9S3,- - coo additional, bringing the grand total for the two days up to $311 ,657, 900, ex- elusive of thousands of replies yet to be listed
 Subscriptions listed yesterday and today represent the offerings of less than six per cent of the total number of financial institutions before which Secretary McAaoo placed the offerings 4S hours ago. Should the present ra- tio be maintained the banks and their customers will have subscribed to ap- proXimately $6,500, 900 00G worth of the
 
 than 200 per cent.
 As many Of the larger financial in stitut1ons have Ielegraphed their sub scrlptions, however, officials are in cllned to believe that the present ratio hardly will be maintained. Replies to the offering received to- day came from virtually every part of the world where the American flag is flown Hawaii. Porto Rico, anu the Philippines proved that they are not fi- nancial slackers, by cabling substantial subscriptions. Fairbanks, AIaska, the northernmost city in the western world. telegraphed a $50000 subscription and added that the loan would be adver- used in all the newspapers there.
 From every state in the union the reply was overwhelming.
 New York, the country's financial stronghold, sent subscriptions totallfng S53,OOo,0OO, bringing it's two day total up to S116S90 000 Today's New York subscriptions included two of $10,GO0,- 900 each. Three sisters made joint subscription of $3O0,O00 Three sub scriptions of $1,0GO,000 each were re- ceived from San Francisco, making the days total $5,650,00. A Milwaukee bank subscribed $2,000,000
 Subscriptions have been tabulated from approximately 1500 of the 2. .oOu banks of the country. So great was the labor involved in tabuating the sub scriptlons geogT aphIcally that oIficlaIs decided to discontinue doing so for the present.

 WASHINGTON, May 5.-Plans for bringing together wcmen's organiZa- tions that desire to do patriotic work were announced today by the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense. State chairman will call con- ferences of representatives of societies to discuss coordination of their ef- forts.
 An appeal sent out today to womens organizations by the committee urged that all women concentrate on food production and conservation, and that everywhere women combine to keep life steady, normal and sane" It sug- gested that registration of woman pow CT be prepared until the defense council completes plans for uniform registra- tion.
 An outline of the aims of the com mittee gave the following as the chief subjects it will take up as soon as or ganiZation is complete:
 Registration, food women industry. training for special services and moral questions.
 A committee on women industry named by Samuel Gompers, chairman of the defense councils labor commit tee, issued a statement today calling attention to dangers in reducing wage standards where women replace men in industry. The statement depiored the employment of mothers of young chil- fre1 ard aovised that efforts be made to check it.
