free range just preceding and during
the breeding season will be Of great
value. Birds on free range will give
a higher fertility, better matches, and
stronger chicks.
Maintaining Fertility.
The breeding flock should be
watched to see that the fowls keep In
condition. Examine the birds and
houses to see that they are not In
tested with lice or mites. IL the birds
are overrun with either OF these pests.
the fertility will be affected seriously
or totally destroyed. Care must be
used also to see that the male does
not get his comb or wattles frosted.
If these are frozen to any extent,
his ability to fertiilze eggs will be
impaired and will not be recovered
for several weeks. When the weather
Is very cold the males intended for
breeding should be placed In u box or
crate partly covered with a bag or
cloth to prevent freezing Of the comb
or wattles. 1t Is also well to examine
the male occasionally to see that his
crop is full and that he Is not growing
thin. Sometimes the male is so gal
liant that he allows the hens to eat all
the food, with the result that he soon
gets out of condition. II this happens,
the male must be caught up at least
once day and fed separately from the
hens.
Feeding Breeding Stock.
The breeders must be fed to keep
them in good condition and at the
same time to produce eggs. Any good
ration fed to layers is suitable for this
purpose, but it should not be extreme
ly forcing, or, In other words, 1t should
not have an extremely large proper
ton of beef scrap. The birds should
be In good flesh but not be allowed
to become excessively fat. ALI whole
or cracked grain should be fed in the
litter so as to make the fowls exercise
by scratching for 1t. Unless the flock
has access to some natural supply of
green feed, which is not likely during
and preceding the. breeding season, 1t
must be fed some of this material In
the form of sprouted oats, cabbage,
mangels, or cut clover or alfalfa.

WHEN BOYS COME BACK
Col. J. A. Watrous Describes
How Armies Dissolved
After Civil War.

The battles are ended, the enemy
has surrendered and the great work
of collecting and disposing Of thous-
ards upon thousands of Car loads OF
war material has begun. But much
greater is to follow, not alone in the
United States, but all over the world.
Long established customs will be
abandoned and new customs adopted.
Methods Of carrying. on business Of
every description will be changed.
Very soon our nearly 100000 men
who have been wearing the uniform
will return; others will follow as soon
as the means Of transportation will
warrant The accepted belief that
the most of our national guard and
national army men will remain long
in the service, is erroneous. All will
want to return home and they will be
given an opportunity to do so at the
earliest possible day, unless some
great emergency arises that demands
attention, and there are no signs OF
such demand now know this is
cont. ary to general belief, but do
not forget that the United States has
a regular army of nearly half mil
lion. These will be the last to re-
turn. They will help TO settle affairs
in all Of the countries where soldiers
are needed There is large force OF
80 oriv
sailors and soldiers. These will be
utilized in meeting the demands in
Europe. Hence there is no risk in re-
peating that the national guard and
the national army the men chosen
and who have proved TO be superb
specimens of American soldiers, will
return to their homes just as soon as
the government can bring them.
Those in camps in the United States,
or most Of them, will be coming back
at all early day.
/ wildly remember the rapid dis
solving of the armies in 1865. The
men came back in squads, companies,
regiments, and came as quickly as
possible after the war ended. Boys
who had gone to war four years be-
fore were splendidly developed men,
mentally. physically and otherwise.
They came back together with the
older ones, better American citizens
than when they entered the service.
Most of them began to hunt for work.
They fell into lines as Industrious,
self-respecting, helpful citizens. Tens
of thousands of them went to Mime
sofa, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, the
territories, Oregon and California, as
fine class of citizens, and made
homes.
The nearly 100000 Of men of the
present forces are Of the same materi-
al that returned home ffty-three
years ago. They will want something
to do just as sooD as possible. Their
uniforms will be laid aside and they
will fall into line with the rest, and
they will be better Americans than
when sworn into service. Their pride
in their American citizenship will be
intense. They will love and honor
the flag of their country as never be-
fore. They will appreciate American
citizenship as never before. They will
benefit every community in which
they live. They will be appreciated
as long as there are grateful hearts in
tile nation MILWAUKEE SENTINEL.

Bulgaria Pleased By
Entrance Entente Fleet
Into C0nstantinOple

Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 26-(Corres-
pondenCc of The Associated Press)-
bulgarian political leaders profess to
be gratified by the entrance of the
Entente fleet into Constantinople and
equitable and reasonable solution of
the interminable question of who
shall control the Straits of the Oar
danelles. This problem has been the
constant nightmare of most of the
Bulgarian states, particularly of Bull
garia. Rumania and Greece. These
countries always have considered the
possibility of Russian occupation of
Constantinuople to be a serious men
ace to their own national existence.
This fear was one of the causes
which led Bulgaria to take sides with
the Central Powers in the war. Lat
er when Russia abandoned her ex-
elusive claim to ConStantinople, Ru-
mania's entry into the war on the
side of the Entente was facilitated.
Political circles in Bulgaria are
profoundly impressed by the giddy
rapidity with which events of far
reaching international importance
now arc transpiring. The folly of
the policy pursued by the former
King Ferdinand and his government
in Bulgaria has been brought home in
striking manner to Bulgarians by
the recent developments. The same
feeling is expected to prevail among
the young Turks, who preferred to
trust Germany rather than Great
Britain and France although, it is
said, these Powers and Russia gave
to the Portea formal declaration
guaranteeing the integrity of Turkey
if she would remain neutral in the
war.
The great mass of the Turks, as
we'll as all other nationalities in
Turkey are said to be overjoyed to
witness the termination of the rule
OF the governing clique in that coun-
try and the success of the Entente
powers. They now realize, it is said.
that Germany cared nothing for the
condition of the Turks but was sole
ly concerned with her own CONNER
cial and industrial schemes affecting
Turkey.
The general feeling OF tranquility
has succeeded the recent troublous
times and political parties replace
confidence in the ability of the pres
ent democratic ministry of Bulgaria
to extricate the country from it's
present condition.
The orga citation Of a society in
Sofia to promote the idea of a Bal
kan Confederation is criticized here
on the ground that it is premature.

ACHIEVEMENT OF
