WHOLE FAMILY SHOT
BY GERMAN TROOPS
Father, Mother and Daughters
Executed On Improved
Spy Charge.

London.-A dispatch received by
the Wireless Press from Amsterdam
says:
1.-THE German authorities at Liege,
Belgium, arrested, tried and sentenc-
ed to death within three days an in
fluential Liege merchant named
Groneret, his wife and their two
daughters, aged 20 and Ii years, on
the improved charge of espionage.
"The father and mother were both
shot to death in the presence of their
daughters. The latter were offered
their freedom if they revealed the
names of their parents accomplices.
The girls refused. the eldest saying:
IF we speak we might cause fifty
people to be killed. We would rath-
ed die alone
"Shc was immediately shot. The
youngest girl then was tortured, out
RACED and also shot"

PIGEONS IN THE TANKS
Ingenuity Of the French Is Hard
To Beat.

A correspondent in a morning pa
per tells us that in addition to guns
the tanks carry pigeons for sending
out messages in case Of need. This
is yet another use to which pigeons
have been put in this war. But the
ingenuity of the French in this re-
spect is hard to beat. In the War
Museum at Hanover is an apparatus
which shows how our Allies have at
tempted to get news from their in
vaded territories. It consists of a
balloon, which carries forty carrier
pigeons. In floating over the land
now occupied by the enemy it drops
from time to time little parachute,
to which is attached a basket con-
tanning carrier pigeon, an alumni
mum message holder, several sheets
Of thin paper, pencil, and detailed in
structions for use. The finder of the
basket, after writing a message, has
only to slip it into the holder in the
birds leg and set it free. The hon.
ing instinct then allows the pigeon to
find it's way back to the French lines.

RENEW WORKOUT PASTURES
Sweet Clover Is Valuable Soil Reno
vatOr and Excellent Forage
For Stock.

"Grow sweet clover" is the answer
for poor soil or WORKOUT pastures
which no longer support live stock
profitably, according to investigators
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, who have found that
thousands of acres of sweet clover are
furnishing annually abundant pas
turage for all kinds of stock on soil
where other crops, made but little
growth.
In many portions of Middle West
sweet clover bids fair to solve serious
pasturage problems, according to
Farmers Bulletin 800. "Sweet Glow
er; Utilization" just issued. Native
pastures which no longer provided
more than a scant living for sin
ture steer on a or 5 acres. when
properly seeded to sweet clover. will
produce sufficient forage to carry at
least one animal to the acre through
out the season. Dairy cattle. horses,
sheep and hogs all do we'll on sweet
clover. Land which is too rough or
too depleted for cultivation or perma-
nent pastures which have become
thin and weedy may be improved
greatly by drilling in after disking
few pounds of sweet clover seed per
acre. Not only will the sweet clover
add considerably to the quality and
quantity of the pasturage, but the
growth of the grasses will be i'm
proved by the addition of large guam
titles of humus and nitrogen to the
soil.
Sweet clover has proved to be an
excellent pasturage crop on many of
the best farms in the North Central
States. In this part of the country it
is often seeded alone and pastured
from the middle or the latter part of
June. until frost. or it may be sown
with grain and pastured after har-
vest.

LEAVE SPUDS IN GROUND,
ADVISES MR.. SWEARINGEN

That the farmers of Kentucky al
low their potatoes to remain in the
ground until November /, unless spe-
cial demands are made for them be-
fore this time. is the word that En-
bry l.. Swearingen. chairman of the
Kentucky State Council of Defense,
is sending out to hundreds of farm
ers in the State. This action is in
accordance with the work that is be-
ing carried on by the National Coun-
ell of Defense throughout the coun-
try.
E.. S. Monohan. prominent farm
ers Of Jefferson county and a men,
Der of the council in communication
with Mr.. Swearingen. gives the fol-
lowing correct method by which to
preserve potatoes;
"Dig potatoes after they have re-
NAMED in the ground until about No
vember 1. Place them in cellar of
as neas "a equal temperature as can
be had-4o c. 50 degrees. II cell
lar cannot be had. place the potatoes
in mourd,. Then cover with six
inches of straw or hay. and cover
the straw or hay with six inches of

URGED TO
PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS
Blood Rings Form When Fertile Egg
Becomes Warm-Remove Roos-
ter When Matching Season
Is Over.

The Bi-Weekly Farm Bulletin
wishes to again direct the attention
of it's readers to the useless and enor-
nous waste caused by the production
of fertile eggs. Farmers lose S45,-
100000 annually from bad methods
of producing and handling eggs. At
least one-third of this loss is prevent
able. because it is due to the partial
Matching of fertile eggs, which have
been allowed to become warm enough
to begin to incubate. Eggs will be
scarce and high this winter and eggs
having blood rings will be lost.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile eggs makes the blood
rim.
You can save S15-O0O.0OO now lost
from blood rings by keeping the male
bird from your flock after the hatch
ing season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly become blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same
effect ON fertile eggs as the hen or
incubator.
Infertile eggs will not become
blood rings.
After the Matching season cook,
sell, or pen your rooster. Your hens
not running with male bird will
produce infertile eggs-quality eggs
that keep best and market best.
Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farmers
are urged ofollow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time
and thought and will add dollars to
the poultry yard returns:
1. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
8. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
a week.
5. Sell, kill, or confne all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
is over.

ON TO BERLIN Is
AMERICAN SLOGAN
German Will Be Entered By Air
Route-United States
Preparing.

Washington.-Berlin will be enter
ed by the air route and the United
States is stacking up its resources
behind the allies to furnish enough
machines to make the conquest pos.
sible.
This was the declaration of Brig
Gen. George o. Squier, commander Of
the signal corps.
81 am not here to make public oul
plans or to indulge in prophetic fig
ures," said Gen. Squier. "The clos
est estimate I can give about our
aeroplane plan is about this.
"The determination of the allied
governments is to enter Germany by
the air route. and the United States
government is going to provide
enough machines to make itself felt
in putting this program through.
"This is not saying that Wa will
construct $4,000 airplanes or 1,000,-
000 or 10 or dozen. If knew how
many machines we would construct
or can construct in year, wouldn't
tell. because this would be telling
Won Hindenburg; and he'd thank US
for the information. The best time
to tell the enemy about any military
program is after that program has
been carried out and put into effect.
Germany announced her 42-centi-
meter guns by hauling them up to
the battle line and firing shells of
hitherto unheard of caliber into Bel
GUM. After the guns were built and
placed and in operation she encourag-
ed the press in clarifying the results.
The Germans are a nation of press
agents, but they never let publicity
tamper with government secret.
"Of course. the public wants to
know what we are going to do with
the $40,000,O00 which Congress has
appropriated for the aviation SER
vice. Well, it's safe to say that we
will spend that money and probably
much more on the air route into Ger
many. That's about all we are going
to say.
"People who are so cocksure about
our determination to build $4,000 air.
planes seem to be inspired with the
notion that aeros are all made on the
same pattern, turned out of the fac
tory as alike as two cubes of sugar.
AS a matter of fact. airplanes vary
in cost between $4,000 and $4,000,
and a comprehensive aerial program
must include everything from SIM
pie school machine to flying dread
nought. New inventions are contin-
ually being tried out, new appliances
and methods must be installed in or
der to keep up with the times-or a
little ahead of them. The German
general staff-that mysterious body
working and thinking all the time
somewhere between Berlin and Con-
stantinople-aren't going to let
things remain at a standstill over
there. and we may be called upon to
revise our whole system in order to
wreck theirs. That is wa. which. as
/ have explained. is the most elastic
thing in the world"
