in certain portions of the apparatus
used in making pig iron from iron
ores-that is, in the blast furnaces

To stop leakage through concrete,
such as tunnel walls, clean the walls
thoroughly and paint with solution
consisting Of eight and three-Quarter
pounds Of zinc sulphate dissolved in
a gallon of water. The zinc sulphate
will act on the lime in the cement
forming insoluble calcium sulphate and
zinc hydroxide, which fill up the pores

Keep Brood coops Clean.

Clean the brood coop at least once
a week and keep 1t free from mites.
If mites are found In the coop clean
1t thoroughly and spray with kerosene
or crude petroleum. From M to two
inches of sand or dry dirt or a thin
layer of straw or fine hay should be
spread on the floor Of the coop. Coops
should be moved weekly to fresh
ground. preferably where there is new
grass.
Shade is very essential in rearing
chickens during warm weather; there
fore place the coops In shady spots
whenever possible. A cornfield makes
fine range for young chickens. as they
can find many bugs and worms and
have fresh ground to run on most of
the time, due to the cultivation of the
soil. Abundant shade Is furnished at
the same time.

With but little additional outlay to
farmers. many more turkeys could be
raised, poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture say.
The small number of turkeys per farm
in the United States Is surprising. Ac-
cording to the census Of 1910, which Is
the latest that has been taken. only
1877 per cent of the total number of
farms reported any turkeys at all. and
on these farms an average of but
slightly more than four breeding tur-
keys was found per farm. Some farms
by the nature of the crops grown on
them or because Of ~unfavorable sur
roundings are not adapted to turkey
raising. but most farms are, and could
easily handle a breeding flock Of 10
to Is hen turkeys and a tom. raising
from rs to $50 turkeys each rear at a
good profit. Farmers Bulletin 791,

AUTOMOBILE DoN'Ts

Don't put oil In the engine
without first making sure that 1t
is free from dirt and lint.
Don't race the engine when 1t
is not drawing the car. There
is no worse abuse.
Don't neglect to keep the radi-
ator filed with water. Also use
a good anti-freeze solution in
cold weather.
Don't fail to inspect the level
of liquid in the storage battery
every two weeks.
Don't drive with your feet on
the clutch or brake pedals.
Don't let your car stand with
headlights full on. 1t is unnec-
sary and 1t runs your battery
down.
Don't drive fast on slippery

To find these stolen nests, as they are
tedious task. the usual method being
to follow each turkey hen as she sep
arates from the flock and turns toward
her nest, taking care that she does
not know she is observed. But ''shadl
owing the turkey hen is not always
the best way. A much easier and
quicker method, according to special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture, is to confine the hens.

EGG PRODUCERS
WORK TOGETHER
Cooperation Will Save $45, 0O0,-
600 Annual Loss From Care
less Handling.
IMPORTANCE OF EGG CIRCLES
Associations Watch Crop and Strive to
Prevent carelessness and undesir-
able conditions-Market Prob
lens Overcome.

If egg producers would work to-
gether to reduce egg losses, much of
the $45, 900 toll which results an
nually from careless handling could be
eliminated. Egg circles, the name given
to associations of egg producers, have
been urged by the United States de-
partment of agriculture for a number
of years. The work which these Or
ganizations can do now to save food
is of the utmost Importance.
Egg circles watch the egg crop. not
only in its handling but in its produc-
ton. They strive to prevent the care
lessness which permits mongrel stock,
dirty nests, stolen nests of broody
hens. unconfined males, l~ate-maturing
pullets, and other undesirable condi-
tons to exist on egg farms. Every eff
fort is made to reduce the high per-
centage of small, cracked, dirty, stale,
heated and rotten eggs. Many mar
keting problems also are overcome.
Early Chicks In Quantity.
One very successful organization of
egg producers has a large incubator
house of 1900 egg capacity where
early chicks are produced for the mem
bers at a low cost. This is done in
order to obtain early maturing pullets
thus securing eggs during the fall
when egg usually are scarce. The
company also has a receiving room for
eggs where they are candled, sorted to
weight-about "a ounces to the dozen
packed in cartons, and shipped on
contract orders. Their eggs are all guar
anteed to be according to grade, they
advertise the fancy grades OF their
cartons and cases, and market prices
are paid to the members. Twice a
year dividends are paid each member
in proportion to the amount of eggs
marketed through the company and
the time of year eggs were brought in,
a larger dividend being paid per dozen
for eggs brought In during the fall
and winter than for those received
during the spring and summer, esti-
mated by months. A regular trade is
established with discriminating con
sumers, with city clubs, with. the best
class hotels and restaurants, and with
fancy grocers for a supply each day or
week.
Eggs for Fancy Trade.
The reputation that is established
enables this association to fix Its
prices at several cents a dozen above
the regular market quotations, us fan
cy trade is willing to pay a premium
for a guaranteed article. Most egg
circles buy chicken feed and other
poultry supplies in quantities for their
members. While at first the number of
eggs to be marketed may not warrant
a central station with a manager to
inspect, grade and market the whole
product. the aim should be to develop
to that state.
Specialists of the department of
agriculture will aid producers in or
ganizing community egg circles and
also in problems of production and
marketing. In Farmers Bulletin $3.50
suggestions and forms are offered as
aids In organizing and managing such
cooperative associations.

You can abuse the engine pretty con-

same thing, and appearance goes a
Ong way toward determining the value
Of house, a horse or an automobile.
The lack Of washing and failure to
wash properly will do more toward
rlning the appearance of the car than
any other thing. The varnish of the
new car is hardened and benefited by
frequent washing with clear cool wa
ter. Mud. allowed to dry or freeze on
the car, takes up all the oil from the
urnish and leaves the finish streaked
and spotted.
Dirt is not the Only enemy, for
garage gases and even the atmosphere
Of some cities attacks the finish of the
car which is not frequently washed.
Examine Other Fellows Car.

CABIN BIT:

AS mentioned above, the cry for a min
istry of munitions and "Out with Baker"
continues. "Use the axe, Mr.. President"
urges "The Washington POST speaking
of Incompetence in high places" what
there is about the Wilson Cabinet that
makes it sacred or supermannish we know
not" adds "The Denver Rocky Mountain
News" complaining Of "close corpora
ton at Washington" Have people forgot
ten what Lincoln did to his Secretary of
War, "The Detroit Free Press asks:
"When the camor of public protest was
raised against the glazing inefiiciency of
that department the President dismissed
Simon Cameron and replaced him with Edwin
NJ. Stanton. What was the result? Let US
ca ON one authority:
The wisdom of the choice was signally
vindicated. The whole system of the War
Office was inefficient and reorganization was
lmperativey demanded. Stanton brought to
his work great executive ability, prompt de-
clslon and strong will, which made itself
felt through the whole military service"
Against the rather clear majority in
the press for a war council the oppo
nents of that plan raise a number of in
tcresting objections. There is the ground
that partisan spirit and not true patriot
ism is behind the Chamberlain bill. There
are those who amplfy che Presidents view
that the new council would take away
many of the Presidents constitutional
powers. And naturally there are those
who would "let the President decide" To
round out the picture one should not over
on Colonel Roosevelt
Firmly opposing the war council plan
are "The New Orleans Times Pcayune."
1.-The New York Evening Post" "The New
York World" "The Cheyenne State
Leader" "The ST. Louis Republican" and
THE st. Louis Post-Dispatch." Less
vehement are "The New York Globe" and
"The Brooklyn Eagle" which would .let
the President decide" "The Baltimore
Sun" is opposed to the Chamberlain bill"
"a rather fine distinction. Similarly
"The Springfield Republican" tries to
align itself with the President while
secretly favoring war council "The
Milwaukee SentineE' camoulages its
views on war council by an attack on
Congressional red tape, while "The Wis
consin State Journal asserts that an
American coalition cabinet is already in
existence:
Without fussng about creating new cabi-
net jobs by legislative enactment President

ter as one of the Kaiser's encourage, to
put it mildly
Meantime President Wilson, while at
lacking Senator Chamberlain, defended
Secretary Baker and let it be known thai
he was unwilling to stand for "war coun
Gil" believing it foolish to abandon a tried
Ii somewhat imperfect machine now Tor
an untried scheme which would also hand
over many of his constitutional powers to
the three distinguished citizens of demon
strated executive ability" who were to
head the new council. At last accounts
Senator Chamberlain was busy putting
his case before the public to exert
pressure on the President and rescue his
bill from the oblivion of the Committee
on Naval Affairs, where the Presidents
friends had consigned it as final indi
cation of the Presidents determination to
fight to the end.
1t an appeal were made to the country
by Senator Chamberlain and possibly by
the President for support in the matter.
who would win? Judging from press COM
ment Mr.. Chamberlain would win-not
Immediately, but ultimately, if the press
ure of public opinion counts For there
appears a very wide and growing senti-
ment among the press, at least, for a war
council Of some sort.
This is expressed in many ways. A
great many newspapers demand war
council outright. Again, criticism of Mr..
Wilson such as has not appeared in the
press since this country entered the war
has broken forth to surprising degree.
Some, like "The New Republic" think Mr..
Wilson needs co0rdinating" and that he
has too much to do" Others take par
tisan shot at the President for keeping
Republicans out of responsible "coaition
cabinet" Many papers also warmly sup
port Senator Chamberlain's stand, while
others continue to demand the resignation
of Secretary Baker and ministry of
munitions.
Among the many papers which favor a
war council, mildly or vehemently, may be
mentioned the following Eastern journals:
"The New Haven Register" "The Lynn
Item" "The Providence Journal" "The
Philadelphia Inquirer" "The PHILADELPHIA
North American" "The Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger" "The Boston Herald" "The
Boston Transcript" "The Buffalo En-
press" "The Utica Press" "The Wilkes
Barre Record "The Brooklyn Eagle"
The New York Tribune, "The New York
Sum-" "The New York Times" and "Tho
New York Herald
Further West one finds the same opinion
among such papers as the following: "The
Nebraska State Journal" "TEe Detroit
