Representative Frederick c. Hicks of
New York has compiled some very i'm
pressive figures to show what civiliza-
tion must pay in dollars and cents for
the Hohenzollern war The expenses
on both sides during the first three
years amounted to $9S,500, 900 900 ana
that this vast sum will be increased TO
$160,000,0 900, 900 if the war continues
until August l, 1918 This means that
the entire cost of the American Civil
war is being duplicated every SIS days,
and that the cost of the Franco Prussian
war is equalled every five weeks. Re-
dueed to comparisons, this enormous
sum of money would construct AGO Pan
ANA canals. 1t would build railroad
long enough to encircle the earth at
the equator 80 times. 1t would pur.
chase three hundred and sixty million
low-priced automobiles. If put into one
dollar bills, placed end to end, it wonli
make chain of greenbacks that could
reach around the world 757 times. Four
years of the present war will cost more
than seven times as much as the total
direct cost of the six greatest wars in
the l25 years previous to August, 1911,
although one of these wars lasted 81
years. 1t is now costing the United
States more than $50,00O,000 day and
that figure will be tremendously in
creased before the end of this year.

"And / absolutely love It," said the
Persian lilac bush, which is like the
purple family, except that 1t is much

more beautiful and rare.

as the wind blew the branches and
made the lovely fragrance of the lilac

SWAT THE ROOSTER.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Eggs
Wasted in Hot Months.

The United States department of ag-
riculturc states that over seven million
dollars. worth of eggs are candled and
thrown ont each season from May
through the hot months and are practically
wasted, simply because the rooster has
not been removed after the Matching
season is over.
Generally speaking, you are all through
breeding during the month of May, so
why keep the male bird seven months
Tor until next breeding season. when
he is of no use to youg The hens will
lay just as well; they are more quiet; and.
if you live in town, the growing does
not annoy your neighbors; last but not
least, you are saving about fifty pounds
of grain per rooster, and, with grain
around four cents per pound, you can
readily see that you are $500 in and
nothing out
Further advantages are; a better
marketable product, because the eggs
cannot spoil as quickly; more satisfied
customers; also, in home preservation of
eggs they will keep better.
Looking at it from another point Of
view, the extension service of the univer-
sity of Vermont believes that the supply
of eggs will be greatly increased, even
if no more eggs are produced, just by
stopping the great waste as above men
toned
If you want to keep the male bird for
some special breeding qualities that he
may possess, you can easily separate him
from the hens, thereby conserving that
part of the product in better shape and
do that much good to the country at
least.
Anyway you look at it ''swatting the
rooster" is TO your advantage, also to
