ROUMAN|A'S KING
 ADVOCATES THRONE
RUMOR SAYS GROWN PRINCE CHARLES WILL TAKE THE
 THONE.
COUNTRY IN DISTURBANCE
Russian Frontier Has Been Closed To British and Americans Owing To Continued Disputes Concerning
 Government Messages.

Petrograd-There are persistent ru- Roumania has abdicated in favor of Grown Prince Charles.
 Disturbed conditions in Roumania were reported in dispatch from Pe- trograd. It was said news of revo- lutionary plot against King Ferdinand had been received at the Bolshevik headquarters in Petrograd. Other re ports, it was added, tended to confirm indications of political crisis. Ex- cept for this there has been little news from Roumania since the Rou- manian army was forced to agree to an armistice on the eastern front. 1t had been reported that Bolshevik and German propagandists were at work among the Roumanian troops.
 King Ferdinand, who is a member of the Hohenzollern family, succeed. ed his uncle, King Charles, in Octo- Der, 1914, King Charles having died at Sinaia on October 10. Roumania declared war on Austria on August 27, At4O, dAiu iNllIo 1T Cl lOOh pcI- sonal command of the army shortly thereafter.
 King Ferdinand is the son of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-S -Sigmaringen. and two of his brothers are generals in the German army. He was born at Sigmaringen August "A, 1885,
 Grown Prince Charles was born Oc- tober 3, 1893, and is an officer in the Roumanian army. He is unmarried, although early in 1914 it was reported that his bethrothal to the then Grand Duchess Olga of Russia had been ar ranged
 Queen Marie of Roumania, who was a duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, is a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and was married To King Ferdinand on January 10, 1893.
 Since Roulnania's entrance into the war more than two-thirds of her ter ritory has been overrun by the enemy. The royal family fled from the capi- tai, Bucharest, in the fall of 1916, and since that time has been at Jassy.
 Special dispatches from Petrograd aim to give an impression of how the German peace reply was received there, but the statements are inexpli- cit and seem to be based p-rtly on surmise. The reply, according to the correspondent of the Daily News, ere ated favorable impression generally, and he believes that if the Bolsheviki convene the constituent assembly now they will have Russia almost solidly behind them.
 The Russian frontier, according to the Posts correspondent, again has been closed to British and Americans owing to the continued disputes con. cerning government messages. Allied residents in Petrograd, like the ordi- nary public. have been six weeks in complete ignorance of what is hap pening in allied countries. The ordi- nary postal service stopped working long ago. On the other hand, there is plenty of German newspapers and information

START WITH LITTLE CAPITAL
SNalI Shack in Back Yard, Few Good Fowls and Business Is Begun-
 Attend to Details.

What most always attracts people to one can start with little capital. A lit- tie shack in the back yard, a few good fowls, and the business is begun. Such Il start has been the beginning of many a mans success in the poultry line, and some of the greatest poultry successes in the country, have had their start in this way. Of course, they supplement- ed their start with intelligent effort, at tention to all the details, and sour, business judgment. You can do tlie same.

POULTRY FACIS
WINTER QUARTERS FOR HENS
Fowls Should Not Be Given Same Ground They Have Been Running
 Over All Summer.

No flock of chickens should go into winter quarters on the same old ground they have been running over all sum- mer. Sprinkle the runs with lime wa ter and then turn it under either with a spade, fork or blow. Rake it smooth after the surface has been turned and the fowls will soon make it firm by their tramping. Where fowls are con- fined in limited runs, this rule is imper- ative for complete sanitation. On larg- CT runs it should be done if possible. over with hose or with a good pump

PROPER FEEDING IN WINTER
Practice of confinino Fowls to House During Cold Weather Neces-
 sitates Extra Care.

The general practice of confining the laying stock to the house during the winter necessitates extra care and at- tention if good results are to be had. The houses must be kept clean and the birds supplied with the important feeds they find on the range. Plenty of min- erals, in the form of grit and shell, and Il liberal supply of green feed must be provided in addition to the regular feeds. Exercise is best supplied by feeding the whole grains in q deep litter of straw.

WATER SUPPLY HELPS EGGS
Way of Giving Hens Water Dur ing Winter Season.

Plenty of pure. fresh water should he supplied daily. An automatic drinkI ing fountain is the most sanitary way of supplying water In cold weather, when the water may freeze quickly, the difficulty may be overcome by heat ing the water. The fountain being air tight, except the space from which the hens get the supply, the water re- mains warm sufficiently long for them to get all they wish. The can, how ever, should be emptied every day, to keep it from being injured by frost.
