armored cruiser North Caro-
lima, are among the If vessels
which the war department an

France between Dec. 8 and
y with returning soldiers. The

is due either at New York or
Newport News Jan. q.
The II ships carry in all ap-
proXimately 1878 officers
and men. The navy craft, eS-

mage to get the army home,
carries the following quotas:
Georgia, 90; Kansas. H.
428, and North Carolina,
1888. Other naval vessels
being fitted out for transport
work will give a total carrying
capacity for 10000 men from
this source.
Included in the units en-
route home as announced to-
day, are five complete field ar
tillery regiments, the 125th.
i27th, l4th, 3OISt and
333rd. Each has in the
neighborhood of 1900 men
and more than so officers.
There are enroute also two
complete trench mortar bat
talionS, the sixth and seventh
with about 80 officers and 700
men each.

is comparatively old, well-developed
and profitable industry. In the report
Of the study, published as Bulletin 6O3,
Of the department.. it is brought out
that while this system is particular
~ applicable to the regions studied,
it is believed to be suitable in dairy
sections generally.
Under the half-and-half system the
landlord furnishes the land, buildings,
the greater part of the seed and fertil-
izer, and half the productive stock,
while the tenant furnishes horses, ma
chinery, half of the productive stock,
part of the seed, and sometimes part
of the fertilizer. All stock is fed usu-
ally from the grain and hay owned in
common. When q feed of any kind Is
bought, its cost is shared equally be-
tween the landlord and tenant. In
general. each party pays the taxes on
all property owned by him, including
the farm road tax, though in many
cases in the North Central states all
the farm road tax Is worked out by
the tenant.
Under this system the poultry fire.
quently is owned exclusively, in linn
tied numbers, by the tenant, and he
gets the proceeds therefrom, but with
this exception, each party generally
receives half Of the proceeds Of farm
sales of all products Of whatever ma
ture.
Less frequently dairy farms are
on the third system, the
landlord supplying everything but the
man-power, which is furnished by the
tenant. and getting two-thirtls of the
sales Of all products while the tenant
receives one-third. When feed is pur-
chased the tenant pays one-third of
the cost.
The length Of lease in the regions
studied ranges from one to five years.

BREEDING OF FANCY FOWLS
Practice Results In More or Less Gen.
eral Improvement Of Poultry
Some Suggestions.

(From the United States Department Of
Agricultural
There should not be any discourage
ment of the breeding Of what Is or
dlnarily known as fancy poultry. That
term is usually applied to the stand
ard breeds as kept by specialists who
produce exhibition birds. That prac-
tice has always resulted in more or
less general improvement Of poultry
and should continue to perform just
that function at this time when the
wider keeping Of a better grade of
poultry stock cannot fail to result In
an increased production. The work
of the poultry specialist also gives en-
enlargement to the general farmer
and the backyard poultry keeper
to take better care of the flOcks. The
continuance of poultry exhibitions,
maintained almost wholly by the pOul-
try specialist, is certainly justified
during the present emergency. 1t has
always been the breeders Of exhibition
fowls who have been the leaders in
promoting the welfare of the poultry
