THE WRECK OF RUSSIA

And it is reported that the kaiser has decided
to Russia as monarchy and place his sister,
the wife the late czar the throne. That is alto
gether probable. Russia will then become German
province with all its wealth in agriculture and
natural and it's millions of who only
fit to be serfs to be driven by such master the
kaiser.
Here we have the best illustration possible of
ciaism in actual practice. Here have 'brotherly
love" ampl6ed. The Russian Bolsheviki would not
kill their brother workmen in the German army, but
would upon their brothers Ukraine, Russian
province, and slaughter them by the thousands and
then turn the entire country the tyrant
and despot the world has seen.
The Bolsheviki the first real socialist government

PuIIets Produced That Lay When Eo0s

Starting Business Of "Day-
Old" Chicks.

Unless q special effort is made
throughout the country to hatch the
1918 chicken crop early, the nations
need for q greatly increased output Of
poultry flesh and eggs is not likely
to be fully met. While chickens car
be Matched at any time Of the year
| it is the chickens Matched early in the
! spring that give the best results
Matching should begin from February
in the South to March in the North
and West, and should be completed by
May 1. The usual time for starting
the incubators and sitting hens coin
cides too closely with the planting sea-
son on the farms and Matching oper-
atoms are likely to be reduced on that
account. Therefore, hatch early.
Chick Business.
The city poultry keeper should tackle
the business of Matching chicks or buy
ing and rearing "day-old" chicks eau
tiously or not at all. Often it is mad
visable to attempt to renew the city
poultry flock even though the tempta-
ton comes strongly to the poultry be-
ginner with the first warm days of
spring. PREVIOUS experience III the
raising Of chicks often increases the
chances of success, but the land avail
able to the backyard poultryman usu-
ally is too small to undertake a chick
business.
No attempt should be made to raise
chicks unless a plot can be provided
separate from that to which the hens
have access and upon which there is
grass or where a supply of green feed
can be furnished. Where these con-
ditions cannot be had it is better for
the beginner who is keeping only hens
for eggs to kill the hens as soon as
they have outlived their usefulness
and replace them by well-matured pull
lets in the fall.
If it is believed practicable to hatch
and rear few chicks, this can best
be done with hens. If it is desired
to purchase and rear few day-old
chicks and no hens are available for
the purpose, it is possible with little
trouble and expense to construct
freless brooder, which will serve in
place of the hens.
1t would be well for the beginner
to obtain from the Department of Agri- |
culture or from State agriculture col
leges, publications on Matching and
rearing.

LONG WAY THE SHORTEST
Canadians Travelled to Mainland With
Letter Carriers

After walking across the ice on Lake
Erie, from Pelee island to Putin bay,
nearly twenty miles, four Canadians
made the trip to mainland with the
mail carriers and then by automobile
to Port Clinton, from which place they
journeyed to bennington, Canada,
their destination.
After reaching bennington they
could look across the channel about
sixteen miles to Pelee, the place from
which they had started, but had trav-
eled several hundred miles to get to
their destination. The men had ex-
pected to get TO the Canadian shores
by crossing the ice, but the open cham
mel made 1t impossible.
