A Bright Career Ended.

Dispatches from the Holy |
Land to London newspapers an
nounce the death in action
of Lieut.. Neil Primrose.
member of the British House of
Commons and youngest son of
the Earl of Roseberry, formerly
Prime Minister of Great Britain.
This young man, whose name
is suggestive Of Disraell's novels
had an interesting career for
man OF his age. Not only is
his father one of he most prom
inent men in England, but his
mother was a R)thschild and he
inherited great wealth and q 20,
sition that brought him into Par
lament when barely of legal
age. In Parliament he showed
great promise, and by the time
he was twenty-five years he had
risen to the post of Under Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs, be-
ing the youngest man to hold
such an office since the days of
William Pitt When the war
came on he put his parliamentary
career behind him, went cam
paigning in Mesopotamia, and
is now dead in Palestine with a
Turkish bullet through his head.
This sudden ending of prom
Using career will probably pass
with brief notice ny world sur
feited with tradegy, and its
chief interest is in affording an
other proof Of how bravely the
English aristocracy is doing its
duty in time of war. Whatever
else may be said Of that aristoc-
racy they have not shirked their
obligations since the war began

Tobacco Prices Show Remarkable
odVarCeS.

According to the United States
Department of Agriculture the
State of Kentucky in 1917 raised
$4,000 pounds of tobacco
The farm value of this crop is
between $9O,OO0,OOO and $780,
100000. The crop of 1916
amounted to 435, 100000 pounds
and had farm value of $55,-
321, 900; the 1915 crop amounted
to 356, 100000 pounds, with
farm value in December Of that
year of $27,889,000. The aver
age farm value a year 9gO was
1877 cents q pOunO, and two
years ago 7.8 cents. The pres
ent farm value is over 20 cents.
The most remarkable advances
have been in the lower grades of
Burley tobacco. For example,
two years ago dark red Burley
trash was quoted at 81 to Sc a
hundred pounds, whereas the
present quotation for the same
grade is $23 to SIS. Common
Jugs are quoted at S26 to S28 a
hundred, compared with $40 to
Sl3a year ago and Sc to So two
ears ago. Common leaf is quot
ed at $27 to 500 compared with
S13 to S14 year ago and $40 TO
/ SI2 two years ago. Advances
for bright red Burley and colory
have been equally as remarkable
In dark types common leaf is
selling between SIG and SIT com
pared with $11 to SIP year age
and Sc to 81 two years ago.

n. LcIter III ais u Il News.

Although the failure to receive
letters from men IN the service
is not pleasant TO relatives and
friends at home the adage mo
news is good news" never was
more true than at present, The
report of every casualty at home
or abroad is Immediately wired
or cabled to officials at Washing
ton, being relayed from there
without loss of time to the emer-
gency address of the soldier or
sailor affected. 1t is also at
once released for publication in
the newspapers. No news of
casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has re-
ceived orders not to write home;
he has been urged, on the con-
trary, to keep in touch with rel
atives and friends The forces
in France have at their disposal
post cards giving general infor-
nation in regard to health and
the receipt of letters and par
GELS. which may be dispatched
without payment of postage,
Care is also taken to see that
mail intended for soldiers and
sailors reaches them promptly.
Where the regimental and COM
pany designation of a soldier is
not known it may be secured by
application to The Adjutant Gen
erals Office, Washington, D. C.
In one week 1874 letters with
insufficient addresses were re-
ceived at this office. On 1882
the addresses were completed
and they were forwarded, 1913
were returned to senders, 50
went to the dead-Ietter office be-
cause senders' addresses were
not given, and the balance were
held with the view that the ad-
dresses might be completed later.

Real Houses Are Best.

Real houses for poultry are best.
Make-shift affairs for the fowls sell
dom produce results.
Certain requirements are necessary,
even though the poultry house is
made Of old boxes.
Raising poultry is only successful
when natural conditions are provided
for as nearly as possible.
Such conditions are readily provid-
ed by the poultryman who desires to
make poultry-keeping pay.
When planning the poultry house it
is advisable to consider the essentials
required for the promotion Of the
fowls 2alth under sanitary and COM
Portable conditions.
The poultry house should be sim
pie in construction, and economically
arranged for performing the work
necessary in handling a flock Of poul-
try.
Some Of the important essentials
for planning the poultry house is abso-
lutte dryness. ample light with the nee
essary ventilation.

construction of the poultry house.
Without comfort and ease of at
tending the fowls, as regards SANTA
ton and healthfulness; there is little
need Of going farther in the bust
ness.
Poultry do not require expensive
equipment or artificial conditions, but
rather to the contrary.
When the poultry house is made
plain, substantial and equipped with
interior fittings that will afford easy
cleaning for keeping out vermin, the
plan is a good one.
The size of a poultry house is a
problem that must be solved by the
builder, according to the space and
the system adopted.
But there are certain rules that
should govern the breeder when plan
ming his poultry house that must be
observed.
When fowls are to be confined they
need more floor space than when they
are permitted to range.
-Four square feet per fowl is con-
sidered ample space under ordinary
conditions, and less space may be adj
vantageous when fowls are free to
range.
The width Of houses should never
be narrow for their length, and l.
feet in width is much better and cheap.
er than a narrow house.
A house 20 by % feet will accom-
modate 100 fowls nicely, when ample
yard space is allowed.

Mission of the Bee.

The mission of the bee is appar-
emily the highest of all. She preserves
the beauty of this earth and at the
same time gives to proud, foolish man
lessons in social organization, in or
ganized industry, in national owner
ship and in stirpiculture.
To the tireless industry of the bee
through endless centuries we owe the
wonderful variety and beauty Of our
fruits and flowers, declares a writer.
The bee is literally the gardener of
the world. His visits from flower to
flower make the blossoms fruitful.
One hundred, thousand varieties of
plants would disappear if the bees
did not visit them.

no longer hear his voice and council
when we meet in camp to deliberate
on the present and future welfare Of
the few remnants of a once powerful

And as we lowered our 0ne-time COM

We are only memory among men
