Many farmers have trouble in feed
ing oats to their hens. so they leave
them out of the grain ration altogeth-
er. The fowls eat the other grains and
let the oats lie. Since oats are very
nutritious and cheap poultry food. the
birds should be taught to eat 'hem.
By feeding the oats first ana waiting
until they are eaten up clean before
giving the rest of the ration the fowls
will soon learn to like them and to eat
them any time with or without other
grains.

REAL MEANING IF
 M|CHAEL|S' SPEECH
 REMAINS UNSOLYED
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel


 COPENHAGEN, July "A. - The Kreuse Zeitung of Berlin, organ of the Conservatives. declares that the speech before the reichstag of Chancellor Michaelis did not signify acceptance of the formula of peace without annexations or indemnities. and that neither Field Marshal Von Hindenburg nor Emperor William is minded to deprive himself pf the fruits of victory by adherence to the sur face meaning of the resolution adopted in the reichstag.
 More liberal newspapers like the Vorwaerts and the Tageblatt, take is- sue with the Kreuse Zeituns ard de- mand that the chancellor make a clear and unequivocnl declaration of his standpoint and disavow the Kreuse Zeltung's interpretation of his speech. Professor Schaefer, president of the annexationist independent committee of German peace. writes in the Taeg- hche Rundschau that the reichstag de- clsion is not binding upon the govern ment.
 Under the influence of articles like that in the Kreuse Zeitung. and with time for calm reflection upon the linn ltations of Chancellor Michaels' speech, the German liberals and radicals are
 
 induced by their apparent victory in the recent internal crisis and the adop- ton of peace resolutions.
 Theodore Wolff writes in the Tage- blatt that neither the speech of Chan cellor Michaelis nor the attitude of the relchstag parties promises much to- ward the establishment of popular democratic government for Germany. His hopes along this line are based upon the compelling necessity of events"
 As far as peace is concerned, Herr Wolff expresses doubt whether the chancellor's speech and the passage of the peace resolution greatly hastened us coming, as the speech was ambigu- nus and anneXationists of every shade how are busy explaining to the Ger man people and to the world outside that the phrase security of the Ger man frontiers" like charity, covers a multitude of annexation sins
