Fat Hens an Economic Waste.

1t is the usual thing to find tn,
old hens that constitute the av
erage farmers flock hog fat dur
ing the winter months and il
consequence not laying.
So thoroughly is the Pennsyl
vania State Department of Agri
culture convinced as to this thai
they are conducting a campaign
of education at the present sea.
son strongly urging the farmers
to feed their hens this winter for
eggs and not for fat.
The old saying that hen must
be fat to lay should be moderat-
ed into a hen must be in good
physical condition to lay. The
farmers flock are usually Barred
Rocks, White Wyandottes or
Rhode Island Reds and all old
hens of these varieties have a
breed predisposition to lay on fat
in the fall and winter and loaf SO
far as egg production is concern
ed, during this period.
Right after the moult, at a
season when it is abnormal for a
hen to lay anyhow, is when this
season of laying on too much fat
begins and the thing to do is to
first weed out and market all
brokendown hens and all excess
sively short and loose or fluffy
plumaged ones.
Then insist that the hens of
the flock getno grain except such
as they must put in several hours
each day working for in straw,
or corn stover litter. Then in
stead of whole corn the corn
should be cracked and corn should
not be more than one-third the
grain ration. Then, too, go scant
on wet mashes, if a dry mash is
fed, the hoppers must not be
open longer than one hour daily.
Either, to be fed in late after
noon only. Then bulky food such
as corn stover, cut clover, man.
giles and not forgetting at least
ten per cent. of beef scrap.
On the other hand, many flocks
of White Leghorn pullets fail to
lay we'll in the winter because
they do not get enough or eat
enough. The Departments ad-
vice is to coax White Leghorn
pullets to eat all that they posi-
bly, can. Do not stint good sound
grain, wet mashes and beef
scrap.
The test is to keep birds of all
varieties busy, happy and in
proper weight and physical con-
dition to lay.

Under the direction of the War
Dept. Commission on Training
Camp Activities of which Ray
mond B. Fosdick is chairman, a
Richmond Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities has been
formed.
The particular task of this or
ganization is to safeguard and
direct the interests of the SOL
diers during their leisure hours,
and also to so interest the people
of cities adjacent to the camps
in the personal welfare of the
soldiers that grave dangers usu-

may be minimized or possibly
eliminated.
We wish to call the attention
Of your readers to the following
services this cfice can render the
people at home as we'll as the
soldiers.
l. We have on file a large list
of conveniently located boarding
houses, which, making moderate
charges, are able to take care of
the relatives Of men in Camp Lee.
Richmond is only % miles from
Petersburg with convenient train
and trolley service. These homes
are available for the soldiers
when they wish to spend the
night in Richmond.
l. A large number of men and
women have volunteered to visit
the men of the camp when they
are sick in the camp hospitals.
When boy in the camp is sick
this office should be notified and
we shall be glad TO have him
visited and his parents kept in
formed as to his condition.
3. When requested, efforts
will be made to have the boys
temporarily adopted by homes in
this city or in Petersburg.
This work is supported by the
voluntary contributions of
those interested in the welfare
of the soldiers and no charge is
made for the services we are able
to render. Letters requiring an
answer should contain a stamp

For the Sake Of The Boys
Going 10 The Trenches.

uOhis I0 lne iTelCnsS
The campaign for funds for tn,
Young Mems Christian Associa
tion War Work is on. No worth
ier cause ever made an appea
for support. Non.sectarian, non
political, but having as its onl,
object the highest welfare of ouI
young men who must go to thC
fighting line, it is justified il
making its appeal for funds tc
everyone, irrespective of church
or political party.
The fund to be raised is fol
use of the Y. NJ. C. A. in the
United States, and on the battle
fronts in Belgium, France, Italy,
Serbia, Roumania and Russia
At the present time considering
the inability of Russia to do her
part in the war and the victory
OF Germany over the Italian arm
les, it looks as if the United
States must bear a very heavy
part Of the fighting if the Allies
are to win the war. Italso looks
as if the fight may be longer than
many have thought it would be.
From the time the American
soldier goes to the training camp
until mustered out of service,
the Y. M. c. A. will be with him.
1t will &c rightup to the trenches
with him 1t will provide for
his comfort in every way, giving
him wholesome recreation when
OIL duty, a pace to write his let
ters, see to ailing them, see
that he gets his l.ail from home,
that he has plenty Of good read
ing and a place TO read, go with
him into the trenches and when
relieved for an hour giving him
hot chocolate, cheer and encour-
agement. 1t is the tie between
him and home, and takes the
place Of home as far as that is
possible. It's ministrations keep
the soldier in heart and courage.
To give is an act of patriotism.
1t helps to sustain the soldier
while he sustains the burden of
the conflict. It is a chance for
everyone to do his bit.
The plan is to canvass the
country on some day or days dur
ing the week from the 18th to
the 18th of this month. The
work in each district has been
committed to one person named
as Captain, who will select as
many canvassers as he deems
sufficient to cover the district on
any day of the week named.
They will canvass the district
asking everybody. They should
be received courteously and
kindly. 1t is a work of love.
They get no compensation.
Neither does anyone connected
with the canvass. Let everyone
contribute. Fulton County's
share is one dollar for each fami-
ly in the county. Surely this is
not a large amount to give a
work Of such transcendent impor-
tance.

,NK KOW many submarines of all
 types has Germany available
 for carrying into effect her
 latest "barred zone" decree against the British Isles and France and in the Mediterranean? Officers of the American and British nayies agree that by the widest flight of imagina- tion the number does not exceed 300, and these men are in a position to know much of which the public Is kept in ignorance, says the New York Times. A conservative estimate they placed at anywhere from 150 to 200 vessels of all types, exclusive of mine laying submersibles. On one point all were agreed, and that was that Germany undoubtedly has built and commissioned within the last few months large number, per haps as many as sixty, submarines Of the new mine laying type. These ves- sels, which are distinguished from the now famous U boats as UC boats, according to the best available infor- nation can be laid down and finished within three months, have a radius of

annual devotes several pages to Ger man submersibles and places the num- Der of mine layers of the submersible type at probably sixty vessels, with new ones continually on the ways.
 The mines carried by these under water terrors are of the most deadly type known and explode at the slight est contact with ship. The exploding mechanism is said to be so delicate that once the mine Is planted 1t is not even necessary for the unsuspecting merchantmen to come in contact, the force of the disturbance in the water caused by the propellers of the ship being sufficient to set off the mine. In nearly every instance destruction Is said to be complete, whether the vic tim Is above or yards away from the mine at the time of the explosion.
 Taking James estimate that there are probably sixty UC boats now ready and that one-half of these vessels are kept busy all the time-that is, while half are planting, the rest are on the way to Germany for new supply of mines-this would mean daily plant ing in the barred zones of at least 360

carrying capacity of from dozen to twenty mines of the contact type, such as Germany is expected to SOW.
 Boats of U-53 Type.
 From the best information in the possession of the allies, the German submarine U-53, which a few months ago showed up unexpectedly at New. port and after a brief visit proceeded to sea, stopped off Nantucket and later sank allied and neutral merchantmen, represents the highest present deyel. opment of German submersible type vessel. That these wonderful subma. rines, which have a radius of from 2.OOO to 4,0OO miles, are to play the most prominent part in Germany's lat est war move is considered certain by American naval officers.
 These new U boats, the numeral names of which are believed to run from about 90 to 150, or about 100 vessels, have q surface displacement of from $50 to $50 tons and submerged displacement that may be anywhere from 800 to more than 1000 tons. The engine horsepower needed to propel these craft through the seas varies from 900 to 2,40O, while the average surface speed is figured by experts to be about twelve knots an hour.
 Some of these boats can travel en- tirely submerged for distances of more than 100 miles without once showing anything but the periS-~ 9e, and they can accomplish such ft,c,j at a speed of perhaps ten or eleven knots an hour It must be remembered that the speeds given above are average, for in the case of some of the boats-for h. stance, the U-61 to U-65, inclusive-a surface speed of as high as eighteen knots an hour has been made, while the submerged maximum speed Is l known to be in excess of ten knots.
 The German submarines that will be relied upon to carry out the latest Non Tirpitzian enterprise can be divided into three classes-namely, the ocean going submersible, the coastal sub- mersible and the mine laying sub mersible, the latter being equally ef- fective for outside ocean work and for activity along the coasts.
 Carry Deadlest Mines.
 Submarines of these three types win have to be faced by the United States navy in the event of the worst coming to pass.

With the UC-5 the British also cap tured ten mines, which are perhaps the most perfect ever devised. The four contact points jut out from the circular top of the mine, and contact with any one of these horns" as the British dubbed them. surely will sink any vessel aGout. The explosive used in the mines is of the most powerful sort known and is of the order of the famous American high explosive known as dunnite. It is such mines as these that the Germans are sup posed to be planting about the British isles and in French waters.
 As for the expected German submer- sibIe activities, other than those of the mine laying submarines, so far as Brit ish and French waters are concerned, the Germans will be able to use not only their big ocean going vessels, but also most of their big fleet of coastal submarines. Of these vessels those Of the U-61 type, which correspond in most details to the U-53, have cruis- ing radius of more than 4,0OO miles, some naval men putting 1t as high as 5000 miles. They can remain at sea for perhaps six weeks and when in danger from hostile craft can remain submerged for several days when not under way or travel a full day at a speed of nine or ten knots.
 Each of these submarines carries from eight to ten torpedoes of the twenty inch type, and each Is fitted with four tubes. In addition each car | -.iaa ho ttArv oF aI,A a- l..sc - ~. -.

mines, or over 2,500 a week. A little figuring indicates what the total might soon amount to unless the allies find how to put some of the mine layers out of action and to sweep away or eX- plode the mines within a short time after they are planted.
 One of the first of the UC's was cap tured by the British navy several months ago and brought as a prize into a British port. This vessel Is about no feet long, ten feet beam and draws ten feet of water when travel Ing on the surface. She has radius of about 1000 miles at five knots, Is armed with one machine gun and car ries in her main storage room twelve of the latest and most destructive type of German mines.
