AUSTRIAN RULERS
THRONE TOTTERS
CONDITIONS IN DUAL MONARCHY
INDICATE THAT OPEN
REVOLT is NEAR.
WEARY PEOPLE WANT PEACE
Pro-German Mobiles Banded Together
to Depose Monarch-Berlin Gives
Charles Cold Shoulder.

Observation-Disclosures abroad and
virtually friendless at home, Emperor
Charles Of Austria is today in a posi-
ton closely resembling that of ex-Czar
Nicholas of Russia in the last phase
of his reign.
Moreover, internal conditions in the
dual monarchy bear a striking SINH
larity to the great sub-surface MUIR
mur which finally broke out in open
revolt at %Petrograd a year ago last
March.
In a roundabout way it has become
known that Germany has made certain
declarations" which have gravely Of
Tended certain circles in Vienna.
Due to these declarations" Pre-
mier Seydler again has rendered his
resignation. The inference is that Ber-
lin has demanded iron clad guarantees
from Vienna against the recurrence of
the Charles-Prin Sixtus affair.
Just as the Russian grand dukes
formed a camarilla against the czar
when they saw his throne was top
ping, so the Austrian archdukes have
just banded together and flung the
threat of overthrow into the face of
the discredited emperor-king. Charles,
turning to Berlin, is met by the icy
stare of the kaiser. who has not yet
said his last word regarding the Haps-
burg rulers peace bid to France, and
the German militarists are aching for
a chance to punish the faithless ally
to save whom they time and again
had to disarrange their fondest plans.
AT home a ~multi-racial, war-weary
people is demanding peace, bread and
electoral freedom. Czernin. so long

NEIeHBOR ARRESTED FOR CRIME
Gratiot County Is Scene Of Crime
Farmer and Wife Shot, Heads
Of Children Crushed.

Ithaca, Mich.-With bullet wounds
through the heads of William Kimball
and his wife, the heads of their eldest
and two younger children being crush
ed in, apparently with the butt of a gun,
the bodies of the victims were found
Sunday afternoon In the Kimball home,
on the farm of Herman Wittig. in La
fayette township, Is miles north Of
Ithaca.
The children were Clarence. aged
seven, Charles, aged five and Louise,
aged two.
Sheriff Newell M. Bradford, Ithaca,
declared that Wittig, who was arrest
ed late in the day, confessed he slew
Kimball, his wife and the oldest son,
but did not recall killing the younger
children.
Sheriff Bradford says the only mo-
tive given by Wittig for the crime was
that he resented an epithet applied
to him by Kimball, following a quar-
rel yer charges made by Kimball for
repairs on Wittig's automobile.
The Kimball family had been keep
ing house for Wittig, who is a bache.
lor, and working his farm.

CROPS TO GROW IN ORCHARD
Ideal Method Is Not to Grow Any Cui-
tivated Crop Between Trees
Some Can Be Grown.

The ideal method of handling the
young orchard is not to grow any cul-
tivated crops between the trees at all.
This will allow them to be cultivated
both ways all during summer, which
is very desirable. Carefully done,
however, some of the hoed crops, like
potatoes, strawberries, cabbage, ETC.,
can be grown without injuring the trees
TO any great extent. These crops more
than pay for the expense of cuitiyat-
ing the trees. Not more than. three
rows should be placed between two
peach rows. When the trees begin to
bear fruit, these crops should be left
off entirely, except possibly two or
three rows of peas between the peach
rows.
IN no case should the trees be stunt
ed or neglected in any way by growing
crops in the orchard. Such crops as
corn and grain should be left off en-
tirely as they draw heavily on the soil
and rob the trees Of both food and
moisture.

ADDING VARIETY TO RATION
Feeding Alfalfa Hay Before Cattle
Run on Pasture Is Espe oiaIIy Good
in Avoiding Bhoat.

(By r. H. WILLIAMS, Ami nal Husband

Stockmen have proved to their own
satisfaction that it pays. to have some
alfalfa hay before cattlefrun on alfalfa
pasture. This is especial lily beneficial
in avoiding bloat and adding variety
to the ration. The amin ais seem to

ways wise to have feed rack either
in the lane or in the field where the
animals may receive the dry feed.
Dairy cows especially will relish Il few
bites of the hay night and morning.
1t is a simple matter to keep this hay
in the dry lot adjacent 10 the barn
where the COWS may eat before md
after milking. Better gttins Will be
made in the young stock and also COWS
will yield more milk and do better II

CULTIVATE ALL FRUIT TREES
While Young They Should BE Given
as Much Attention as Amy Other
Crop on the Farm.

Fruit trees respond as readily and
definitely to cultivation as do garden
vegetables and grain crops, and, while
young, they should be cultivated with
as much care as any other crop. Ex-
periments by agricultural scientists
have shown that fruits breathe, and
that cold storage delays their ripening
by causing them to breathe more slow
ly than when warm. If an orchard is
given as much care as grain and other
crops-if it be carefully pruned and
sprayed and the ground properly cul-
tivated, especially the first year, there
Will be no disappointment as to yield,
both in quantity and quality.

CAUSE or DISEASED UDDERS
Bitter Taste and Rancid S nell in Milk
Traced TO One COW in Herd
Cases of Sore Throat.

Dairymen have Occasi Onally been
puzzled by a bitter taste and rancid
smell in milk, produced under sani-
tary conditions. 1t has been found
that such conditions can arise from
one cow in the herd with a diseased
udder and q bacteTium has been iso-
lated as the immediate cause in tho
milk. The bactcrium credited as the
disturbing factor is said to belong to
the group lactis aerogenes. On farm
in Wisconsin they found three COWS al
fected with mastitis TO which was
traced the cause of 200 cases of severe
sore throat among the persons using
milk from the herd.

NIL SON FRAMES REPLY TO VIENNA AS
NEW AUSTR0- GERMAN NOTES ARRIVE
new AUSTRIAN APPEAL

Paris, Oct. 30-Count Andrassy, the Aus

for immediate suspension of hostilities to be fol-
lowed by peace negotiations
The text of Count Andrassy's note, according to
Vienna dispatches, has been teiegraphed to the
French, English, Japanese and Italian governments
begging their appreciation and support of the Aus
trian proposals to President Wilson"
Count Andrassy's note, received here by way
of Switzerland, reads fellows:
Immediately after assuming the Office of foreign
minister, sent an official response to your note of
Oct. 18.
'In it you will see that we accept all points of

of Austria-Hungary decide their future organ
ization and freedom according to their rights.
"Since the Emperor-king Charles took over the
government he has always busted himself with the
efforts to force end to the war
To-day, more than ever it is the wish of the
ereign and of all peoples of Austria-Hungary to
speed that end.
81 am persuaded that we can only develop in
peaceful strife sheltered from the troubles, priva-
tions and msfortunes of
II address myself directly to you Mr. Secretary
Of state, begging you to be good enough to act with
the president of the United States that in the inter
est of humanity, well that of the inhabitaufs
of Austria-Hungary, suspension of arms be imme-
diately accorded and followed by opening of
peace negotiations.
Count Andrassy is taking an unprecedented &C.
ton by addressing himself directly to Secretary of
State Lansing instead of sending his note through
neutral Intermediary.
The transmission of his note direct to the allied
governments and his plea that they support the Aus
trian proposals also violate all diplomatic customs.
1t is believed Austrias need for immediate peace
has been redoubled by tn Italian drive.
