POULTRY IN BACK YARD
Suggestions for Care of Small Flock
of Hens-EcOnomy Depends Pri-
marily Upon Egg Production.

From IL to 25 hens are sufficient
to provide the ordinary family with
enough eggs and meat to render the
keeping Of the birds worth while, ac-
cording to poultry specialists in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The amount of outdoor space
the flock will require may be estimat-
ed at about 25 square feet for each
bird. There are instances in which
chickens have thrivcd with much less
than this, but unless the soil is espec-
tally favorable and the birds receive
unusually good care, crowding is like
ly to prove Improbable.
Poultry specialists DO not recon-
mend, however, that every one with
the requisite space at his disposal
should go in for chicken raising. I'm
less there is natural interest in poul-
try or determination to make the
flock source of real economy, even

Among leaders in the house no
opinion is. vouchsafed regarding the
ultimate success Of the conscription
bill. Even its supporters decline to
estimate probable majority, al
though its opponents are equally du
bious as to the outcome.
Consideration Of the selective draft
measure also was begun in the sem
ate military committee today. Secre-
tary Baker and Judge Advocate Gen.
eral Crowder appeared and laid be-
fore the committee their general plan
and supplemented it with a detailed
explanation. 1t is believed that the
committee will deliberate at least
week on the bill, but a favorable re-
port is certain to follow, with per
haps a second report giving minority
views.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Uuless the inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

MUCH FUSS OVER
DRAFT MEASURE

Washington, April 16.-Thc admin
lstration's plan for raising an army
by sclective draft is confronted bv
the sturdiest sort of opposition in the
house of representatives
Even in the committee on military
AFFAIRS, where test vote was taken
today, there is sufficient opposition to
the measure as sought by Secretary
of War Baker and the general STAFF
to make it highly probable that a
majority and minority report will
be Forthcoming and with the commit
tcemen themselves at odds over the
general plan. Notwithstanding all
the fuss, the bill is expected to be
tavorably reported by both the house
and the senate committees.
Seventeen members participated in
today's test vote. They stood eight in
favor of the administration plan and
nine opposed. The 18th member de-
cllned to vote "ayc" or "no" on the
measure as then being considered but
SAID If the age of the recruits to be
summoned to the co.ors under the
proposed law were advanced from 10
to II years so that the government
would be relicTed of the responsible
ity of impressing men into military
service in the foreign fields who had
not yet reached their majority, he
would vote for the bill.
Two members Of the committee
were absent at the unofficial test. One
IS opposed to any form of conscrip-
ton and the other favors it. There
is one Republican vacancy yet to be
filled and upon this choice depends
whether or not the administrations
plan will receive even a favorable
committee report.
The question of CONSUMPTION is the
only important feature of the armv
organization bill regarding which anv
serious difficulty is anticipated Re-
gardless of how the committee NAV

with the size of the area to be in
closed and the kind Of fencing select

pensive.
Cost of Keeping Chickens.
The actual economy secured bv the
keeping of small flock of chickens
depends primarily upon their egg pro-
duction, and this in turn is largely n
matter of care. Under favorable con-
ditions, however, it is estimated that
160 eggs the first year and 12O the
second is fair return from the ordi-
nary hen. On the other hand, at least
from 25 to SO cents a year must be
expended for grain and other feeds,
the exact amount depending upon the
quantity of table scraps and green
and insect food available. Where all
the feed must be purchased, from 81
to $1.25 is allowed. Even in the most
thrifty household, however, there is
always large quantity of table
scraps, vegetable parings, and other
left overs" for the hens, so that a
considerable portion of their feed con-
slsts of what otherwise would be car
ried off the place by the garbage man.
Although of less importance than
the eggs, the supply of poultry for
the table furnished by the home flock
is an item that can not be overlooked.
AS has been pointed out, in a flock
OF 70 which the owner is perpetuating
there will be approximately 12 or 13
cockerels, almost all OF which can be
used best for food. Half of the hens
must go each year also, so that al
lowing for losses and for birds re-
served for breeding there still will be
enough appreciably to affect the
butcher's- s-bill.

FISH AND GAME
 CLUB STARTS ON
 HATCHERY IDEA
Three Hatcheries May Be Secured Through the Aid of Cannerymen
 Along the Coast
TO ASK FOR SHAD EGGS
Propagation of Valuable Fish to Be Undertaken in This Section
 of Alaska.

An effort is to be made by the Southeastern Alaska Fish and Game Club to secure shad eggs for propo- gation and planting in the Taku river and other suitable streams in this section of Alaska. A letter will be sent to the Fish Commissioner at once in an effort to secure the eggs.
 At last nights meeting of the club a good attendance was present and twenty seven new members were added to the rolls. F. o. Burkhardt, of the Chilkat cannery was present and offered to pay the rent of the present site of the Clubs fish hatch cry, which offer was gratefully ac- cepted by the club.
 Mir Burkhardt stated that at the annual meeting of the cannerymen which will convene soon> in Seattle, the question of the establishment of hatcheries to work out and experi- ment with the new methods of propo- gation of the salmon, as advanced by A. J. Sprague, will be taken up. MT. Sprague will be present at that time and expound his theories.
 Mr. Burkhardt, Capt Alexander, of Hoonah, and J. T. Barron, of Funter Bay, have already agreed to shoulder part of the cost and it is thought that others can be secured to allow for the establishment of three hatcheries.
 The question of securing the shad eggs was then taken up and it was shown that the shad has become one of the largest of the commercial fish products handled in the East. Shad are a strictly vegetarian fish, and although other fish prey on their young and eggs, they eat noth- ing but vegetable products. The shad run from to pounds each and are worth between $1 and $2 apiece.
 Shad were planted in the Sacra- lnento River ten yeafs ago and last year the value of their product was $1000,000 from that river alone, ac- cording to information given out last night. They have been in the Col umbia river about years and last year $500,000 was produced.
 Taku River, which. is a slightly muddy glacial stream is ideal for shad Their food abounds in the waters and the muddy water gives them protection on their spawning grounds.
 The Club will also request the Department for another shipment of Eastern brook trout eggs, which will section.

GERMAN DIVER BANGS PULLED
 SAYS ADMIRAL
Perfected Means Render Submarines Harmless Against Protected
 Shipping.

WASHINGTON, Sept %. Ger many's submarine campaign has lost it's frightfulness so far as the move ment of troops and supplies from the United States to Europe is con cerned. This is accounted for main ly by the employment of these four things:
 Observation balloons on transports and other vessels.
 Smoke bombs.
 Perfect system of conveying ships. Arming vessels and manning them with competent crews.
 Admiral Benson, chief of opera tions, today strongly indicated that fear of the Teutonic undersea boats had been dissipated.
 Continual crossing of the Atlantic by troop ships, passenger vessels and others has demonstrated that the German submarine sea terror will not attack when the steamships are well conveyed.
 Divers Extend Range
 He said the Germans had extend ed their operations so that now the submarines had been reported as far out as the thirtieth meridian, off the Azores. or approximately half way across the ocean. But practically none of them will approach con voyed vessel and the possibility of an attack on this country is put on a minimum.
 Germany has been increasing her submarines both in numbers and size, but the department has not yet any definite information that there is any considerable number of the supposed dreadnought U-boats of 400 or 500 feet in length In none of the engagements has there been reported any submarine of re- markable size, although the Navy Department considers it perfectly logical that the lengths of these yes sells will naturally increase with the popularity.
 But the attacks on transatlantic ships have dropped off The smoke bomb has been big feature in de- terring the attacks.
 Relies On Convoy
 Admiral Benson gives the opinion that the greatest and most effective deterrent of all is the system of conveying and the fact that nearly every vessel today is armed and manned with an excellent gun crew.
 In addition the captive observa- ton ballon is now carried on most of the vessels. By means of these, the ship may keep an excellent watch for the submarine terror. Sub marines may be seen as far as fif- ty feet below the surface of the ocean and the balloon crows nest has been unusually effective not only in discerning the submarines but also in directing the firing.
 Admiral Benson says the depart ment has no definite information of the number of submarines that have been sunk by United States ships. None has been captured.

 "The effect of overling hours of continuous work does not apply, ex- cept to very limited extent, in the case of machinery and mechani- cal utilities. Therefore, a solution of this, one of our difficulties, can be best and most readily found by working our machinery for more hours and our men and women for fewer hours. We must have six hour working day for men and wo- men, and by means of six-hour shifts for men and women we must work our machinery twelve, eighteen and twenty-fOur hours a day"

 Lord Leverhulme was president of this years Welch National Eisted- dfod at which Llayd George was one of the speakers. Discussing the enormous financial burden now car ried by Britain, Lord Leverhulme developed some startling ideas as to the near future: He is said in part:
 By the time we have, with our brave and illustrous Allies, won the unconditional surrender of~our enc mics, our load of war debt way eas fly have gone to total of $5O,000,- 000,000. involving us in an annual charge to be met by taxation for in terest and sinking fund of $3,O0O,- 100000.

 We shall have to raise another $5O0. 0.0OO. 900 or more for government civil expenditure, and at least an other 100000 or $1.000, ,000,0 for old age and military pensions"
