FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

The more water the hens drink the
better off they are both in winter and
summer. The water supply is almost
as important as the reproducing ra-
ton.
Beginning with the first freezing
weather l arrange to keep the fowls
supply Of drinking water reasonably
warm for them, notes a writer in Farm
Progress. In the coolest weather I
simply warm the water to a temporal
ture Of about body heat, or 9S degrees
Fahrenheit Then ] place it where
the birds can reach it. If out Of the
wind and under shelter it will take
two or three hours for it to get down
to freezing temperature again.
It stimulates egg laying by prevent
ing the chill that must follow the
drinking OF water at icy temperatures
1t takes food as well as shelter TO
keep 4 hen warm in winter. The cold
er the weather the more food energy
necessary to keep the body tempera-
ture where it should be. If q hen
drinks water only a few degrees above
the freezing point it will take a con-
siderable percentage Of the daily ration
to keep her temperature normal.
A supply Of good, clean and mOder-
ately cool drinking water should be In
reach Of the chickens the year round.
1t takes a good deal of water to soften
the rations so they can be properly
assimilated and taken up by the blood.
The lack of water always checks the
digestive operations and this checks
the egg-laying activities of the organs.
manage to supply water of moder-
ate temperature two or three times
daily during the cold weather. This
amount viii keep the hens healthy and
keep them laying eggs and putting on
flesh if the grain and vegetable ration
is satisfactory.
Some winters ago found that water
warmed to the right temperature and
placed in stone crooks or bowls would
retain the heat longer than if placed
in pans or iron vessels. The thicker
the stOnew2re the better it will retain
the heat.
At this time Of the year and on until
April this task is a most important one.
The chickens will be rather closely con-
fined to their scratching sheds and to
the poultry houses. Nevertheless, just
as much water is necessary for the
natural processes of digestion and egg
laying as at any other time in the
year.
1t takes but a few minutes two or
three times a day to heat water to
temperature that will make it COM
Portable for the flock. Unless this is
done, the usual slump in winter laying
may be expected, no matter how much
attention is given to balanced ratiOns
guaranteed to produce eggs.

Roll of British Military
Heroes Includes Names of
Scores of Canadian Birth

While the conflict in South Africa
marked the beginning of Canada's of
fetal participation in foreign wars of
the mother country, individual Cana

every struggle in more than a century.
The roll of British military heroes in
oludeS the names of scores of men of
Canadian birth. One of the greatest of
these was Gen. Sir William Fenwick
Williams, who gained renown as "the
nero Of Kars."
The defense of Kars in Armenia by
General Williams during the Crimean
war was Il gallant exploit. Great Brit
ain, France and Turkey were then al
lies, opposing Russia. General Will
iams. with $4,000 men. was shut up in
karS by a Russian army of 10000 in
fantry and 10000 cavalry, commanded
oy General Muravieif. The siege COM

until November %. The defenders
lad provisions sufficient to last three
months, but ammunition enough for
only three days of fighting, but Gen
aral Williams was determined to hold
the place. When their supplies had
been almost exhausted and after suf-
fering terribly from the ravages of
cholera, General Muravieff decided the
time had come to attack the SOrely
tried garrison and ordered an assault.
Feeble as they were, the defenders of
KarS beat back the Russians. Mura.
vieff then determined upon a policy of
watchful waiting and, after a month
more of starvation, General Williams
capitulated.
He was made Il barOnet, with the
title of Sir William Fenwick Williams
Of KarS and granted liberal pension.

ancient Greeks. Lamps, indeed, are
pictured upon some of their oldest

Spiced Beef.

Take five pounds or more, depending
upon the size Of the family, of beef
from the rump. Trim away the meat
and cut Sits several inches from the
edge in which to pack the stuffing,
made by using suet, crumbs and vari-
Gus herbs which are enjoyed, pepper,
salt and a grating of nutmeg or a
pinch of mace. After stuffing, rub the
meat all over with salt, pepper, cloves,
allspice, then wet with vinegar. Let
stand over night. In the morning put
into a kettle with a cupful of water
and cook slowly (very) for several
hours, allowing a half hour for every
pound of meat, turn it often while
cooking so that the gravy will season
all parts of the meat. Serve hot or
sliced cold. Thicker the gravy and
serve with the meat.

Ohio for feeding purposes.

Instead of permitting the
slaughter Of hogs at 100, this
plan will enable farmers to put
them on the market at 300
pounds On account of the
great amount of soft corn in the
hands of farmers in Ohio there
Is great demand for this size
hog. This corn cannot be mark
eted.
StOckyard hogs are always
more liable 10 infection from
cholera but the state has taken
every precaution against the
spread of cholera through the
distribution of these hogs. A
veterinarian employed by the
State Department will be station
ed at the Cincinnati yards. All
light hogs, leaving the yards to
go out to Ohio farmers will be
treated with hog cholera serum
and dipped in a disinfectant So
lution before being shipped.
Upon arrival at the farm to
which they are being sent these
hogs will be kept in quarantine
for 80 days. being kept separate
from ali other hogs on the farm.
This plan is being worked out
with good results at the India
napolis, Chicago and Kansas City
stockyards.

idle, to say nothing of that which is
inadequately farmed. This would make
five-acre farms for a million families.
In the meantime the cities are full
of people whose greatest ambition is
to own a piece of this waste land and
to convert it into productive homes.
There is no proper agency to bring
these men and the land together. There
is only the land agent, whose name has
often become one of reproach. His
sole object is to sell land for as much
money as possible. His responsibility
ends there. There is no agency that
goes further, that establishes the man
on the land. that makes him a success.
Even if the man in the city gets good
land and at a fair price, it is practi-
cally impossible for him to establish
himself and make a success without
guidance and cooperation. The ma
chine is not built up that will convert
him from Il city-dwelling wage Garner
to an Independent farmer. That is ex-
actly the machinery that should be de-
velOped. The proper agency to super
wise its development is the govern
ment. The time Is now.
When the t~-O million to be trained
for the army come home there will be
an unparalleled opportunity. These
young men will be unattached. They
will have been weaned away from
their former tasks and associates.
They will be wanting to strike a field
for themselves. They should have the
opportunity. The nation should pre-
pare the way.

Bread an AIiment.

Bread does not contain a sufficient
quantity of albumen needed by the
organism. An analysis of bread goes
to show that it contains a relatively
large amount Of water, i. e., over 40
per cent, but a relatively small guam
tity of nitrogen compounds, viz,
seven to eight per cent. Of fats it
generally contains very little, bu3 of
substances free Of nitrogen, such as
starch, large quantities. From this
il follows, asserts q writer, that bread
can by no means be a food" out at
best an aliment.

Senator Suggests Giving Farm to Every

In the United States the drift of the
people to the cities, the drift of farms
Into operation by tenant farmers, into
ownership in large acreage, by absent
landlords, has been recognized as a
dangerous tendency of the times. But
out of the war will grow many new de-
mandS from the people. The man on
vie street will appreciate his rights
more clearly and will be more ready
to demand them. Among his most
probable demands will be his right to
the land, asserts Senator Warren G..
Harding of Ohio.
Wise is the nation which sees the
coming of such a demand and meets it
before ii becomes menace.
In New England there are 100000
