SANTIAGO. Chile. March H-Ultra-
neutral and pro-Gernan elements OF the
press are suffering from brainsterms
today as the result oS editorials pub
lished in the United States Interpreting
the Chilean elections as favorable, to
the allies.
They declare that tire intimation that
Chile is susceptible to foreign influences
is insulting.
This attitude is taken. Notwithstanding
the freely admitted activities OF the
German South American institute. which
is the most pernicious force in further
ing German propaganda since the ac,
tivities OF Bernstorfr in the United
States.
Elections Not Significant.
The cold fact is that the elections here
afford only the most infinitesimal en-
couragement for the allies. Naturally.
the pro-aliies and those dcmocratically
inclined belong TO the victorious parties
and the pro-GermAns are enrolled among
the defeated conservatives and clericals.
But neither the victor nor the van
quished was committed on issues Of the
war in the platforms.
The results OF the electlOn actually
we're determined by domestic issues and
not by international issues. The utmost
satisfaction that can be derived by the
allies is from the fact that the reorGan-

are not biased in favor Of Germany.

TESTIMONY LURES
TO H|RSCH TRIAL

ATLANTA, Ga. March 1.-THE trial
Of, Mrs. H. H. Hirsch, charged with
attempting to blaclymail Atlanta's
multi-millionaire mayor, Asa G. Can
dler. opened this morning at o o'clock
before Judge Benjamin II. Hill, in Full
ton superior court. Among the
twenty-five witnesses subpoenaed for
the defense is J. W. Cook, Jointly In
dicted with Mrs. Hirsch. who was con-
victed and is now under sentence OF
81 900 fine and twelve months impris-
onment, but is at liberty on bail pend
ing his appeal.
The State has about fifty character
witnesses present. brought here from
Key West, Miami and jacksonville,
Fla: Montgomery. .Ara., and points IN
South Carolina.
1t was intimated this morning that
the attorneys for Mrs. Hirsch will
make the point of defense that the
charge OF verbal blackmaIr cannot in
criminate her because OF the .allega-
tion that she did not make any de-
mands for money on the principal,
Mayor Gambler.
Although arguments are limited TO
thirty minutes in misdemeanor cases,
II is expected an extension will be
granted in this case.
Early indications are that the de-
fense will exercise extreme caution in
the selection of a jury, exercising the
privilege of "voir dire" granted when
a change OF venue. asked for on the
allegation OF prejudice, was denied.
In anticipator OF evidence OF a
sensational character, several hun
dred persons. including many FASH

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture.)
Small calves should not be bumped
and jOstled about. An easy way to
prevent this is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet in size,
in each of which a calf may be kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grain and racks for hay. After the
calf is old enough to run with the
others it is placed with them in
larger pen. StanchiOns are fixed on
one side of this pen to provide for the
separate feeding Of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives it's proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach of the calves
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity Of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack of at
tentiOn to these matters is very likely
to allow the development of the vari-
Gus calf diseases.
After the calf is few weeks old, it
can stand considerable cold if it is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro-
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out in the exercise lot for
short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
If the calves are kept together in
large pen it is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied.
When they are loose the milk often is

VEGETABLE MATTER
TO INCREASE CROPS
Liberal Supply of Humus Is One
of Greatest Factors.
Many Enterprising Farmers Are Crow
ing Leguminous Crops and Turn
ing Them Under-Method
Adopted on Virginia Farm.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In many sections of the Eastern
States where the soil has become worn
by continual cropping, the addition of
liberal supply of humus for vege-
table matter is one of the greatest
factors necessary to increase the pro-
duction of crops. To supply this need
many enterprising farmers are grow
ing legume crops and turning them
under. That the farmers who have
adopted this practice are being amply
repaid is shown by the increased yields
which they are able to secure.
On one farm in Caroline County,
Va, the regular practice had been to
grow corn on the land one year in
three and to allow each field to rest
during the other two years. The crest
ing" process was to allow weeds and
trash to grow up and thus accumu-
late sufficient fertility for another
crop of corn. With this system of
cropping the yield of corn ranged gen
orally from Is to IS bushels.
The improvement of the soil on this
farm began first by planting one of the
poorest fields to cOwpeas. The COW
peas were cut for hay and the stubble
disked and seeded to crimson clover.
The following spring the crimson clo-
yer crop was turned under and the
field planted to cOrn. At the last work
ing of the corn, crimson clover was
again sOwn. The following spring the
same process was repeated by turning
under the crimson clover and planting
corn again on the same land. This
practice was continued for five years.
The third year the yield of corn was
about 40 bushels to the acre and the
fifth year the crop made a yield Of 80
bushels to the acre.
Up to the time Of the change in the
cropping system, it had been the regu-
lar practice to apply 200 pounds Of 16
per cent acid phosphate per acre to
each crop grown. Under that system,
however, crop yields could not be main
tanned After the change in cropping
system. the same amount of acid
phosphate was applied each year to
the corn crop. The only real change
in method was to grow first crop OF
cowpeas and after that to turn under
a catch crop of crimson clover in prep
aration for the corn each year. The
improvement in soil conditions is fur
Their evident from the fact that after
the fifth consecutive corn crop, wheat
was sown and a yield of % bushels
per acre was harvested. While these
yields are not extremely large, it was
possible by simple methods and with
comparatively small expense to in
crease the producing capacity Of some
very poor land to about three times
what it had formerly been.

ARRANGEMENT OF HEN HOUSE
No Floor Needed Where Drainage Is
Good-Dropping Boards Should p
Be Cleaned Daily.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When the soil is we'll drained and
consequently will remain dry no floor
need be used in the poultry house, the
ground itself serving as the floor.
Often a slight dampness can be cor
rected by filling up the floor several
inches above the outside ground with
sand, cinders, gravel, or dry dirt.
Three or four inches of the surface of
the floor, and of the run if a very small
run is used, should be removed and re-
placed with fresh dirt two or three
times a year. If the ground is so wet
or damp that this condition cannot be
corrected by filling it is best to provide
board floor, as this will help to keep
the house dry, will allow easier clean
ing and will promote the general
health and welfare of the hens. A
house with board floor should be set
on posts Or blocks, SO that it is to II
inches above the ground. When this
space is left the floor will not rot so
quickly and rats are not SO likely to
take refuge under the house.
In order to keep the flock in a clean
and sanitary condition, dropping
boards should be provided and roosts
above them. This makes it easy to
remove the droppings each morning
and helps greatly to keep the house
free from Objectionable odOrs. A lit
tie sand or ashes sprinkled on the
dropping board after each cleaning
will be found to make the cleaning
easier.
The dropping boards and roosts
should be placed against the back wall.
Here they are out of the way and at
the same time where they are least
likely to be reached by drafts. The
