RUSS|A'S FUTURE
 IS BEING SHAPED
CONFERENCE IS OPENED AT MOSCOW BY PREMIER
 kERENSkY.
CAUTIONS AGAINST DISORDER
Building in Which the Council Is Meeting Is Surrounded By Close Chain of Soldiers, With Officers
 Every Few Yards.

Moscow.-The State Council which promises important results in the na- tional life of Russia which opened in the Grand Opera House with that sol emnity and old Russian pomp espe- eiaily characteristic of Moscow. The tneater district was crowded with sightseers and interspersed among the members of the council were seen the characteristic Russian types, in- cluding Tartars in peaker caps white robed Mullahs from the Volga, Georg ians robed in cloth of gold, caSsocks and dir1itaries of the Greek orthodox church, who had arrived for the ecu- menical church congress, which be- gins Tuesday
 Despite the one-day strike pro claimed by the Bolsheviki in protest against the council as a counter-revo- lutionary expression, the city is quiet. A few incipient attempts by the Bol- sheviki street corner orators to or ganize demonstrations were suppress ed by the crowds
 Precautions were taken against dis orders and the council threatens to show rigor in this respect unknown even in ante-revolutionary days. The building in which the council is meeting is surrounded by close chain of soldiers. with officers every few yards. The soldiers are picked men from regiments of the Signal Corps or cadets training for officers. The chambers under the buildings are occupied by soldiers with fixed bayo- nets. Members and invited guests before being admitted have their military posts.
 The proceedings began with a speech by Premier Kerensky, lasting an hour and half. pronounced in a nervous and impressive voice, which aroused tremendous applause, mainly from that part of the lheater occu- pied by the democratic organizations and members of he cabinet, but the Duma members and the Moscow in ! dustrial deputies also at times par ticipated M Kerensky spoke reso- lutely. emphasizing the role he had rlayed in recent events and his de- termination to guide events in the future.
 The premier was greeted with wild applause, when, early in his speech, speaking of the dangers from the ex- treme left, he declared: All at tempts with armed force against the peoples power will be crushed with blood and iron"

CHICKS INFESTED WITH LICE
Mother Hen Should Be Dusted With Some Good Insect Powder-Make
 Examination Often.

Where chicks are raised with hens, they are likely to become infested with lice If the lice get very nu- merous. they greatly retard the chicks growth and may even cause their death. The hen should be powdered thoroughly with some good insect powder before she is put in the coop with the chicks and at intervals of several days or a week thereafter. The baby chicks should be examined for lice, particularly on the head, under the wings and about the vent. If any are found, little grease, such as lard, should be rubbed on In those places. Apply grease moderately, as too much will injure the chicks. The chicks should be examined frequently and the treatment repeated If lice are found on them.

VENTILATION OF HENH0USES
Reason Many Fowls Seek Roostina Places in Trees Is Because Build
 ings Are Too Warm.

Henhouses need to be ventilated in the summer time as much as In the winter time. The reason many hens go to the trees to roost is because the house is too warm for them. At least ten inches of perch space should he provided for the fowls so that they will not have to crowd: and the more open the house Is during the summer months the more contented the fowls will be, A small hole cut on the north side of the poultry house about two feet off the floor and left open during the day and night will dc great deal to cool the house down and to remove any foul odorS. All windows should be removed and screens inserted; also the doors should be left wide open.

MAKING MONEY WITH CAPONS
Fattenns-5ring Better Prices Than Turkeys.

Capons should reach full size be- fore fattening, and this should be when they are from ten to twelve months old.
 Fatten them from two to three weeks before marketing-two If they are shut up Tn dark coops. Feed them all they will stuff of cornmeal and middlings, wet, but not too wet, with milk.
 Cracked bits of glass are used as an aid to digestion. but good grit Is safest where the ground stuff Is used. Grit of some kind they must have.
 The farmer who does not keep over q lot of male birds as capons will lose a big profit on fowls, as turkeys do not at any time sell as high as capons per pound.

 A newer method employs the can ding device shown in the illustration. This device confines the dark area where it belongs-just around the egg.
