Keep Cheerful and Mind
Your Own Business" Is the
Message of John Burroughs

John Burroughs, famous American
naturalist and writer. and leading dis
ciple of the simple life, is eighty years
old. He has lived with nature since
boyhood, and knows the birds, the
squirrels and the butterflies, the woods,
the fields and the mountain streams.
He was the friend of Lincoln, of En-
erson, of Holmes, of Whittier and of
Walt Whitman. His recollections of
these great friends are sufficient COM
panions for John Burroughs in his
woodland cabin. II am very happy in
my work, and I hope to write a book
each year for many more years." he
says. He is at his best, despite his
age, and leads an active life in the
open. His message to the world is:
Keep cheerful and mind your own
business"
Mr.. Burroughs taught school in his
youth, became a bank examiner and
had promising career before him in
financial affairs, when he discarded
ambition for wealth to lead the simple
life. His first book was his "Notes on
Walt Whitman" published in 1867.
During the past half-century he has
written constantly, and has contrib
uted much to the nature library He
married Ursula North in 1857, and in
the winter time he now makes his
home with his daughter and grand
children at West Park, N. Y.

For this reason, the poultryman should
carry on the work in the henhouse
quietly and evenly.
To destroy mites and keep the flock
free of their depredations,. fnsect1cide
sprays and a sanitary building are
necessary.
Ducks of most of the meat breeds,
properly fed and managed, frequently
weigh from five to six pounds at ten
weeks of age.
If it is worth keeping poultry at all,
it is worth making a good job of 1t,
and nothing except a good job will
make profit.
After the grass gets tough chicks
can catch more bugs and worms and
will grow better on loose soil. The
cornfield furnishes ideal conditions.
Be careful that the chicks, poults,
ducklings and goslings do not have
any food and cannot get anything to
eat on the range which Is moldy or
musty. for such stuff causes canker
and digestive troubles.
The Leghorns today are much bet
ter breed than they were years ago.
The tendency has been to breed larger
birds and still retain all their charac-
teristics as producers of large num-
Der of eggs With larger bodies also
has come the production of larger
eggs. which is an added merit to the
breed.

The Monitor Comes Back.

British monitors are playing an i'm
portant part in the italian advance to-
ward Triest. The monitors have again
proved themselves in this war. They
appear to be the only type of craft
that can carry big guns into shallow
water and lombard coast Notifications
successfully. Submarines cannot fol-
low them into these shadows, and they
have so little freeboard that they pre-
sent a difficult mark for the enemy to
hit
Monitors took up the set work at the
Dardanelles after the battleships had
been lost or had been driven by subma-
rines to seek protected ports. Mont
tors shell the Belgian coast when at
tacks are made on the German bases
there. Now they are Smelling the Aus
trian coast ahead Of the Italians. And
so far there has been no report of
single monitor lost.

AlRPLANE AND CAVALRY MEET
Allied Filler Escapes Capture by Charg-
ing Foes and Passing Short Dis
lance Over Their Heads

To show that it is sometimes pos
sible for an aviator to pass surprising
ly low over guns and vet escape being
brought to earth, Mr. Claude Grahame-
White cites in Heroes Of the Flying
Corps" an interesting encounter be-
tween an airplane and squad of cav
airy One of the aviators of the allies,
descending near some German out
posts. was surprised by a patrol of hos
tile cavalry that galloped into a corner
of the field where the airplane had
alighted and rode full tilt toward it to
make it's occupants prisoners.
At the side of the field farthest from
the Germans lay wood and the space
between the airplane and the trees was
so small that the machine could not
rise into the air in that direction. All
that the pilot could do in his endeavor
to escape was to run his machine
across the ground directly toward the
approaching horsemen and seek to rise
sufficiently high to sweep above their
heads. He took his machine abruptly
into the air and flew down straight
toward them. thinking that his chance
was poor, and expecting either to be
struck himself by bullets or to have
some vital part of his machine hit.
There was one point in his favor,
however: the German cavalrymen, ia
ken by surprise when the aircraft
came rushing toward them, had
opened fire in scattering and very
haphaZard manner. Only just above
their heads, although travelling very
fast, swept the airplane, with it's pilot
and passenger crouching low in their
seats Over the cavalrymen it flew and
then 1t began to climb rapidly; and
although storm of bullets had met it
as 1t approached and had been directed
on 1t while it passed overhead the
craft flew on unchecked. No vital part
of its mechanism was hit nor were It's
occupants injured. - Youths Com

Germ of Red Cross Idea.

The germ of the Red Cross idea
seems to date back into the sixteenth
century, when gay young Neapolitan
soldier saw the error of his ways, be-
came priest, and devoting himself to
relieving the plague-stricken, organized
the Fathers of the Good Death"
whose members were pledged to the
same service and who wore on their
breasts a red cross in memory of the
sufferings of Christ. This was Camil-
lus de Lellis, who fell victim to the
disease he combated, and who, canon
lied by Benedict XIV, in 1746, became
st. Camillus in the Catholic calendar
