Final Medical Examination of
Regiments Men Held at
Fort Myer.
PROUD OF GREAT OVATION
District Guardsmen Comment
on Heartiness of Popular
Inaugural Acclaim.

Following a final medical inspec-
ton today, the Third Regiment, Dis
trict militia, participated in a marcn
and drill at Fort Myer. The com
mand will be mustered out of Federal
service next Monday.
The medical inspection was to deter
mine whether disabilities have been
incurred which might be made the
basis for pension applications. All
the guardsmen were found to be in
excellent physical condition.
Col Glendie B. Young arranged the
practice mFch and drill as exercise
for tha men after their march in the
inaugural parade.
Thrilled with Pride.
The commanding officer and others
connected with the regiment said to-
day thai they felt a thrill of pride
as they marched through the lanes
OF applaudIng thousands yesterday
and received a greater ovation than
had ever before been accorded Dis
trict guarismen.
"It felt wondrously good to be out
there marching" said Lieut.. Col. An
ton Stephan. THE gallant boys in the
Third have been through q whole
lot since they promptly answered the
Presidents call last June, but the
storms OF applause, the continuous
ovation, the shower of fruits and
sweeter kisses from pretty girls, and
the entire reception given them,
seemed to more than compensate
them for their service to their coun-
try It was a demonstration which we
shall all remember all our days and
recall with pride"s
Cheeking-up Equipment.

HATCH GEESE IN INCUBATOR
Doubtful Whether They Would Do
Well In Breeders, Therefore Il 10
Not Often Tried.

Goose eggs can be successfully
hatched in incubators, but it is not
common practice because 1t is doubt
full whether they would do well raised
in brooders.
Either geese or hens are commonly
used for Matching and rearing pur-
poses. If the eggs are hatched by
hens or incubators, it would be ad-
vsable to add moisture to the eggs
during the first week by sprinkling
the eggs or nests with warm water.
From four to six eggs are usually
placed under a hen, and from ten to
thirteen eggs under a goose.
II hatched by hens, the hen should
be kept confined, and goslings not al
lowed to go into the water, especially
If the water is cold. To be assured
of success in raising goslings. they
should not be hatched until the grass
pasture is fairly good, as grass Is
their chief diet.
In addition to that they should be
fed any of the mashes recommended
for chickens or goslings. Special care
should be taken in seeing that all OF
the feed is cleaned up at each meal,
as leftover food is very often source
of disease.

FARM
ANIMALS
DISEASED HOOPS OF CATTLE
One Trouble Caused by Excessive Wet
Weather Is Hard to Manaoe-ls
Not Contagious.

Not all hoof disease in cattle is the
"hoof-and-mouth disease" There is
one form of hoof disease which is es-
pecially hard to manage, which is
caused by excessively wet weather and
cattle having to be almost continually
in the mud. We had a case of this
kind this spring, says a writer in an
exchange. The inner parts of the hoofs
become very sore and tender and will
finally become rotten, if not cared for
in time.
We had q veterinarian prescribe
treatment. This was kept up for a
time without apparent results for the
better. Then being very busy at corn
planting time, the treatment was neg
lected and the animal got so it would
walk on the toes, the back part of the
hoof was so tender. We again tried
the treatment, but the animal got
worse and worse until it was walk
ing skeleton and could no longer stand
up, when we put it out of it's misery
and dug n hole for the remains. We
know this was not contagious as the
other cattle We're not affected in the
least.

Fight FOR MARKETS
Competition Will Be Keen After
the War.
Now Is the Time to Make Ready for
the Struggle for Commercial Su-
premaey in Which We Shall
Be Involved.

Large American corporations with
sufficient financial power to extend
their scope to foreign markets should
not wait for the termination of the
war or the final establishment of
economic alliances. The economic al
lance adopted at Paris should be
recognized for what it is. namely,
temporary device designed mainly for
political effect upon the enemy.
When the war ends, American in
dustrics must stand on their own feet.
No economic alliance will protect them
In foreign markets or in their own
markets. There will be the sharpest
kind of competition, and as Germany
has been the chief competitor of this
country in the past, especially in cleo
trical and chemical appliances, prepa-
ration should be made now for meeting
the concerted attacks of Germany
when the blockade of her ports is.a
an end.
Small concerns. especially in the alb
sence of the export cooperation law
which has been promised for so long
a time, cannot expect to establish the
position of. the United States in for
eign markets. The major work must
be done by the larger corporations
whose resources and general organiza-
tion enable them to compete with large
aggregations of capital in foreign mar
kets. The fight for commercial su-
premacy will not only be waged in Eu-
rope, but in the Orient and South
n n a N
Germany Is preparing for it now. Eng
land Is likewise preparing for it. The
United States should prepare as well,
and whatever is done In this direction
will be as useful in war as it is sure
to be In the commercial struggle later
on.

ShipbuiIding Delay.
on.

AS Senator Weeks has said, what
the people are beginning to want is
results, and what business wants Is
assurance that progress is being made.
Our best hope is yet far in the future.
Senator Underwood named 1t when
he announced that one steel company
had guaranteed to turn out the first
steel ship in six months and there
after one a day. If the shipping board
had been awake 1t would have started
that work six months ago. and the
yard would have been turning out
ship day now. But the yard itself
IS not yet in existence If, as Is sup
posed, the 60 acres bought by the
American Bridge company at Newark
has been bought to form its site. The
boards delay is becoming a national
danger. Chairman Denman Is report
ed as saying that ship construction Is
vital to American success in the war,
and that q billion dollars is cheap
price to pay If 1t turns the balance be-
tween victory and defeat. Very good,
but surely victory is delayed by the
delay Of that which Is vital to victory.
If the president could rush the work
we might be almost persuaded to bow
to him as nn autOcrat.

BREAKING UP BR0oDY FOWLS
Hens Have No Right to Sit and Do
Nothing Else While Country
Faces Food Shortage.

Eliminate the expense of broody
hens. Even the fowls have no right to
sit and do nothing at a time when the
country is facing so great food short
age, according to Ross NJ. Sherwood,
acting head of the poultry department
in the Kansas Agricultural college.
1.-THE average hen lays four to five
eggs a week, worth - to Is cents at
the present price of eggs" said Mr..
Sherwood. "Hens should be broken
up as soon as they become broody. If
possible do not let them set over night,
for day saved in shutting them up
may save two days Of their laying
period.
"Broody hens should be placed in
airy coops with slat bottoms and kept
up off the ground. Too frequently an

limited amount of grains and a liberal

IMPORTANCE OF STRONG RAM
II Both Male and Eve Are Weak in
Some Points Weaknesses Are In
tensified in Lambs,

A ram is half the flock. A good
ram will impress his desirable quail
tiles on his offspring. The ram must
be strong in the points in which the
ewes are deficient. 1t is a well-known
fact that like begets like, and If
both the ram and the eve are weak
in the same points these weaknesses
will be intensified in the offspring.
If the flock is small, ram lamb
will be all right. If there are more
than thirty ewes the ram should be
two years old. The ram selected will
depend upon the type of ewes in the
flock. If the ewes are small and
light-boned, a heavyweight and
heavy-boned ram will be needed. A
ram with more refinement should be
used If the ewes are coarse-boned
and rangy.

WAYS FOR AIRING INCUBATOR
Best Hatehes Are Often the Result Of
Cooling, Especially During Warm
Summer Weather.

One may air the eggs in an incuba-
tor in two ways. One method is to
air some every day at the night turn
ing, or in the morning, should the
temperature be found trif1e high,
and the other way is to turn the eggs
slowly to inhale fresh air and to con-
fine the real cooling to one or two
periods when eggs have been incu-
bated Is and II days and to cool them
down until the shells are actually cold.
The best matches are often the result
of such cooling, especially in warm
