After the threshers have left and

After the threshers have left and
before there comes a rain, all the
grain that lies in the chaff and dust
should be scooped up and deposited
in a dry place for the fowls in
winter Chickens need dust bath
in winter to keep off the mites, and
they need exercise such as will be
afforded by scratching in this mix
ture of grain and chaff and dust to
get their feed. Prepare a clean hard
floor that can be swept often, and
then dump enough of the mixture on
it each day to keep the fowls in
good condition. Prepare the place
of storage now, and do not wait till
the shower spoils the plan by sprout-
ing the grain. If you want the
chickens to have a little. green truck
during the winter to improve the
egg crop, take some of the mixed
grain and dust and wet it, and place
It in shallow box where there Is
enough heat and light to sprout it
Then let the fowls have it to dig
in, and they will eat the tender
shoots and the kernels and repay you
in better eggs. A monotonous ra-
ton of wheat will keep fowls alive
all winter but it will not keep them
in good physical condition and lay
ing. Frequent changes of diet with
out going to extremes is what they
need.
In operating the thresher, do not
allow the pitchers to crowd it and
reduce the speed of operation nor
yet to get behind and let the ma
chine run empty and at high motion.
Either circumstance wastes the
grain, and care on the part of the
pitchers and in regulating the sep
arator if variation occurs. saves
heavy loss of grain. Workmen
should keep these things in mind
and remember that care in the har-
vest is one of the ways Of winning
the war. u

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, July 20.-Selective
conscription was put into effect today
when the national lottery to fix the
order of military liability for ten
million young Americans registered
for service was held.
The lottery was held in the public
hearing room of the senate office
building, members of the senate and
house military committees were wit
nesses.
AS a result of the drawing every
registered man is given a definite
place in liability for service list.
Already $4,000 have been ordered
to the colors to fill to war strength the
regular army and national guard, and
constitute first increment of the ma
tional army; to secure that total, one
million three hundred and seventy
four thousand men will be called for.
The examination will be held within
a few weeks, estimating that two
registrants must be called for every
soldier accepted. These will be
taken from the head of the liability
list; every local district furnishing
fixed quotas.

The number was 258.
In quick succession other numbers

PARIS PRESS ON THE
CHANCELLOR'S ADDRESS

Paris. July 20.-Most of the news
papers reserve a considered judgment
on Chancellor Michaelis' maiden
speech until the full text arrives, but
all print prominently a summary and
use verbatim such portions of the
report as received up to the time of
going to press.
The Matin says the program of
Prussian militarism as set forth by
the chancellor may be summarized in
two words, hold out and bluff" the
most striking example of bluff being
the disdain wherewith he affects to
treat of American Intervention.
The Fifare finds that the speech
shows the comprehensive in the face
of difficult confused situation In
German politics.
