can afford or believe to be desirable
Hopper feeding fills out all deficiencies
and saves the time of the owners, while
insuring that no chick shall get less
than he needs. With chicks on full
range, this is not as necessary, of
course, as with chicks raised in con-
finement. But in all conditions be-
lieve little box of dry feed free to all
the chicks is a first rate thing to pro-
vide.
The best ration for breeding fowls Is
plenty Of good corn, a small amount of
oats and all the dried meat scrap and
wheat bran the fowls want to eat. A
box of ground bran, box of charcoal
and box of crushed oyster shells
where the fowls can help themselves
and good supply of green grass will
give more vitality to the eggs than
any other feed.
The meat scrap and bran can be kept
before the fowls where they can help
themselves. They will not overeat
after they have become accustomed to
the food. Some persons have an idea
that corn is not good for breeding
hens, but my experience is that hens
which eat large amounts of corn trans
init more vitality to the chicks than
those receiving other grains.

MAKING POULTRY PAY.

Freedom From insects and Proper Feed
Will Bring Success.
When anything is found wrong with
poultry or other domesticated birds
the maxim should be ''look for lice,"
writes poultry expert In the Phila-
delphia Press. Every year l believe
more thoroughly in this maxim. There
are two reasons why this must be true
They lie in the fact that lice breed in
infinite numbers at the very season
when other work is most insistently
claiming every thought and every
ounce of strength which the workers
have to spare and in the additional
encouraging fact that chicks from
thrifty progeny on range can fight off
all other ills if they are kept free from
lice.
To give the chicks a fair chance for
their fight dust the hens at the end
Of each week or sitting, as it is said to
take a brood Of lice about week to
hatch. Then put very little plain
oil on the head of each chick, use
little kerosene on the hens and trust
to the favorable conditions prepared
to give the results desired. Tobacco
dust, simple and cheap. is used for
busting the hens. do not like to use
any dust on small chicks, as it seems
to me there is danger of OVERRIDING the
matter.
The question of feed is disposed of
in the same way. We plan to give as
much time to feeding soft mash as we

INCREASING TONNAGE

Next year will, no doubt, see
ocean tonnage decisively on the in
crease. AS nearly as can be judged
from reports at hand, about six
million tons Of merchant ships were
destroyed from the beginning of
the war to the first Of May last;
and this was considerably above
new construction for the period.
But the submarine scare of last
spring has already had notable
effect in increasing construction ;
while, for more than a year before
that, scarcity Of bottoms and alb
normal freight rates had been slim
ulating shipbuilders.
On May first construction of steel
merchant ships in hand in our ship
yards reached two million tons
about ten times the amount of
steam tonnage turned out in 1914
and since then General Goethals
has declared that we shall build
three million tons in the next eigh-
teen months.
England, whose shipyards for
two years had been given over
mostly to naval construction, had
already turned theoretically to
building merchant ships. The sub
marine gave a new spur, and by
June nearly a million and half
tons was building. France, also,
was driving in the same direction.
The submarine scare advertised
in most effective fashion the need
Of merchant ships. A response is
coming from every shipyard.
Meantime the latest reports indi-
cate that the destruction of mer-
chant ships is rather likelier to de-
crease than to increase.
The net loss of shipping has been
smaller than many people imagine.
The San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce recently calculated that,
if the present rate of construction
and destruction continues unchang-
ed until June 80, 1918. the worlds
merchant marine would then be
slightly larger than it was at the
beginning of the war. But con-
struction is increasing and destruct-
ion seems likely to decrease.

Tho Cat and the Chickens.

An authentic story tells Of male cat
and female cat in France that lived OH
terms of perfect amity with all the AMI
mails on the place-dogs, chickens and
what not. 1T SO happened that hen
which had brood Of seven chickens
was killed accidentally. The cat, which
some two weeks before had been de-
prived of her kittens, appeared to OBJ
serve the predicament Of the seven lit
tie chickens. She craewled into their
nest, and the chickens, looking for
warmth, nestled into her warm fur
peeping gratefully. The chickens, fed
by their owner, throve perfectly, and
every day the strange sight was pre-
scented Of their following the mother cat
about the premises as if expecting her
to find them food after the manner OF
hen.

GREATEST OF ALL SUNS.
Giant Campus, the Blue Beauty Of the
Southern Hemisphere.


Southern Hemisphere.
Star gazers of northern lands often
overlook the fact that some OF the
most brilliant and beautiful stars and
finest nebulae and star clusters In the
heavens belong to the southern hem
isphere and are not visible in our lati-
tudes.
Magnificent blue Campus, the second
brightest star In the heavens, lies just
below our southern horizon In the
large and important southern constella-
ton Argo Navis, named for the famous
ship of the Argonauts. It is usually
divided into three constellations-Pup-
pis, Carina and Vela. Campus was
the chief pilot of the Argonauts, but
the star was known and worshiped
on the banks of the Nile long before
1t received its name from the Greeks
and has been called the Star of Egypt.
1t has also been a guide to many tribes
in Africa, South America and Austria
Liza in their journeys through painless
wilds.
Although Sirius appears nearly twice
a. brilliant az Campus, this IL due
only to the fact that Sirius IL compare
lively near to ms. not quite nine light
years distant, while Campus has been
estimated to be at a distance Of 466
light years. 1t IL. as far as we know,
the greatest Of all the giant suns,
equal in light giving power to $4,000
suns such as our own. Sirius, with a
brillinncy estimated at forty-eight
times that Of the sun, shrinks into a
pygmy when contrasted with Campus.

Danish the Rooster.

The rooster does not increase the egg
production of hens in the same flock,
and he may decrease it. Kill him, pen
him up or sell him when the breeding
season is over and produce infertile
eggs. Blood rings are the cause of one
third Of the annual egg loss, and the
rooster is directly responsible Blood
rings are simply an early stage of chick
development.

There are many conflicting opin-
ions as to how long the crops in the
Potlatch can hold out without rain.
Some farmers have expressed the
opinion that very few days more
of hot weather will cause practical
ly crop failure while others who
have farraed in this country just as
long or longer are inclined to take
more optimistic view of the mat
ter. The spring grain of course
needs rain more than anything else.
Some fields are beginning to suffer
from the dry weather already but
these are mostly late planted fields
and in localities where the soil runs
together and bakes.> Martin Thorn
as who is about as we'll posted along
agricultural lines as anyone, says
that most of the grain can go a
week or ten days yet without rain
and will not be seriously damaged.
At any rate, all we can do is to
hope for the best. So far as we
know the Potlatch never has had a
fail crop and it is a poor time to
have one now.

There is a story going the rounds
of the newspapers that a peddler
was arrested in Iowa for selling
court plaster contaminated with
leprosy germs. The story may or
may not be true. However, the
safe thing to do is to avoid pur-
chasing such things from peddlers
at all. The home merchant can
generally supply you with what you
want and in all probability it will
be cheaper and much more salts
factory than that bought from ir-
responsible parties.

Even with the cooperation of the
coal dealers there seems to be a
possibility of a serious coal shortage
all over the country next winter,
due entirely to the shortage Of
transportation facilities from the

coal in almost unlimited, quantities
at price very little in advance of
year ago but it seems to be i'm
possible to get it distributed over
the country in quantities large
enough to supply the demand.

Worlmen Object to Imprisonment of
 One of Leaders.

Amsterdam, Aug. 20.-The Lokal Anzeiger states that several hundred workmen employed in Krupps Madge- burg plant have gone on strike ow- ing to the arrest of one of their lead CTS The workmen considered this a disciplinary meas ire and sent a dep utation headed by the Reichstag dep uty Herr Brondes to the deputy com mander-in chief asking him to re- lease the leader. The deputy com rnander-in-chief informed the deputa- ton that the man under arrest was suspected of high treason because he had distributed hand bills melting workers to a general strike.
 A strike of workers in the Essen and Dusseldorf districts is threatened. The workers demand ten pounds of pota- toes weekly. At a meeting arranged between labor delegates and the war food department it was declared that 1t was i'm possible to give the workers more han eight pounds of potatoes during the next 20 weeks. To make up for the shortage in potatoes a slight increase in the bread and meat rations might be granted. the labor delegates were informed The reply of the work CTS has not yet been received.

HISTORY IN MAKING
 BY J. 5. RAILROADS
Greatest Troop Movement in Country's History Begins Soon

Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.-Fair- fax Harrison, chairman of the rail- roads war board, authorizes the fol- lowing:
 Plans for the largest troop move ment ever scheduled in this country are now being perfected by the Amer ican Railway Association at the re- quest of the United States governm ent. Altogether, 6S7,OO0 men will have to be transported to the various canton ments that the government is building to house the new National army. The movement will start September 5. Be tween that date and September the railroads will complete the entraln- ment of 100000 men, or approNi mately 30 per cent of the total num- Der scheduled to be moved to the va rious training camps
 It is expected that a. second move ment of approximately 100000 men will begin on September 19, continu- ing for four days thereafter, and "a third movement of the same size on October 8.
 Some conception of the magnitude of the task confronting the American Railway Association in preparing sche- dulles that will assure the safe and | prompt trans portation of these armies without interfering with regular traf | fic may be gleaned from the fact that l to move merely one field army of | S0,000 men requires 6,229 cars made l up into 366 trains with as many loco- l motives and train crews.
 1 Meanwhile in addition to moving 1 the 6S1 GOO recruits for the National 1 army, the railroads have been asked to supply transportation for the 35o,- | 1 to their training camps. This Nation 7, al Guard movement has already start ed and will continue in increasing vol- I ume until all have been moved. A bulletin, covering the movement 1 of the National army to the training 1 camps and explaining the plans which 1 the government wants carried out has just been issued for distribution to the
 various railroad officials of the coun- try. The Bulletin reads as follows:
 Assemble at 4531 Points.
 "Tha citizens selected to form the National Army will begin to move to i their respective training camps on September 5th. The number to be se- l lected stands at present at 697,000 l men.
 -Four thousand five hundred and tlirty-one points in the United States have been designated by the Provost i Marshal General as poins of local con-
 centrs ton, at one of which each indi 1 vidual will be required to report at a
 stated time and from which the par
 ties will proceed by railroad to the
 cantonment to which they have been
 assigned.
 '"The Provost Marshal General,
 through the State authorities, (The
 Governor, Adjutant General, etc.) will
 retain control of trese men until they
 are placed upon the trains designated
 and will designate man in each par ty to be in charge of 1t from each To-

sufficient in number to provide for the food of all the men under his charge.
 Tn preparing schedules, due regard will be paid to the necessity for pro- viding for the feeding of these men at convenient points either by use of eating houses, dining cars, or by fur nishing box lunches on the train. The meal tickets are redeemable at their face value on presentation to the De- partment Quartermaster at the head quarters of the Department in which they are used.
 Eating house proprietors at desig- mated points. dining car employees and others concerned should be fully in- formed.
 'The American Railway Association will place a qualified official of the Passenger Department in the office either of the Governor, or of the Ad- jutant General as may be deemed most suitable by the State authorities in each State. This official will keep in touch with the State authorities in any emergency which may arise and will
