The fact that Sir Douglas Haig at
tanned his fifty-sixth birthday on June
10 brings back to mind q story told
of him a short while back.
1t is, of course. well known that Sir
Douglas is a soldier first, last and all
the time, regarding all other profess
sims as of quite negligible impor-
lance, a trait in his character which
lends point to the anecdote.
He was, it appears, inspecting a
cavalry troop. and was particularly
struck with the neat way in which re-
pairs had been made in some of the
saddles.

CONSULTATION DEPARTMENT
Easy Now to Select Winter Laying
Hens


Individuals ambitious to build up a
flock of winter-laying fowls, should
begin now to pick out the most de-
sirable breeding hens in their fiocks
says the department of poultry hus-
bandry Of the Michigan Agricultural
college.
To secure winter eggs it is neces-
sary to breed from winter layers.
These breeding hens should be select
ed now. Just which ones to choose
is of course the things that stumps
the man who has never given much
attention to poultry. If a poultry
man or farmer can find five or six
hens in his fiocks that have laid an
average of 80 eggs each during No
vember, December and January-that
is, ten eggs a month-these can be
bred and small flock of good produc-
ers raised for next year, if the eggs
are Matched early.
Early March is the best time to
hatch pullets for winter laying. Of
course much has been said about early
laying pullets moulting in October and
November, but if the birds are fed
properly, this moult will not be- a
complete one, and will be confined to
the head and neck. 1t has been the

careful Wintering Reduces Bee Losses
Inc Importance of care in winter
ing bees cannot be overestimated.
throughout the United States bee
keepers lose at least ten per cent of
their colonies and in many cases as
high as fifty per cent, due largely to
c24elessness and lack of knowledge
Qkproper wintering conditions. This
ios6 is avoidable and should be reduc-
ed TO less than one per cent if few
simple precautions are needed.
Bees cluster at temperature of 81
degrees or lower to keep up the tenn
perature of the hive and to reduce the
radiation of the heat produced by
muscular exertion as furnished by
food.
Sufficient food is essential. Every
colony should have at least thirty
pounds of honey. White clover honey
is best although any white honey IS
good. Dark honey should be used
sparingly; and honeydew honey not at
all, on account of the waste it con-
tains. Bees never deposit fecal
waste in the hive, but retain it in the
large intestine, where it causes dysen-
terry unless soon passed out, In at
tempting to rid themselves of this,
the bees fly forth on cold days, be-
come chilled and never find their way
back.
Lack of protection does not kill di-
re1tly and this fact has caused some
b keepers to imagine that bees need
ed7no winter protection. Lack of pro-
lection causes loss of heat, conse-
quently more heat must be generated
by muscular exertion and more food
must be eaten to supply the energy.
This overeating causes dysentery and
other intestinal disorders harmful to
the colony, which may die or come
through the winter too weak to pro-
duce much surplus honey.

Call for Phosphates in Excess of
Supply

Many Michigan farmers who are
planning to apply phosphate to their
fields this coming season must reverse
their fertilizer program according to
the department of experimental
chemistry Of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College. Field agents of the
department have learned both by trips
through the state and by warnings
from manufacturers of fertilizers
that the acid phosphate supply is al
most certain to be insufficient in 1918
to meet the demand.
Farmers should not forget, how
ever, that if necessary complete fer
tilizers can be used in place of the
The complete fertilizers
cost more, but with crop prices as
they are they will easily more than
pay for themselves.
No man whose farm needs fertiliz-
ers should forego the use of them
simply because he can not secure acid

The Medicinal Value of Sour Milk
for Poultry

The value of sour milk in the ration
for poultry of all ages is not fully un-
derstood. Not only does it supply
considerable material for egg produc-
ton and muscle building but it also
possesses curative properties for GER
tain bowel disorders. 1t is we'll known
by certain growers as a useful agent
in controlling diarrhoea, that scourge
of the newly Matched chick. Supplied
regularly it is equal to anything on
the market for this purpose at frac-
ton of the cost. Moreover it has been
known to cure cases clearly diagnosed
as cholera in adult fowls, without any
of the regularly prescribed remedies
being given. One case which came
under the writer's notice may be stat
ed. A few hens in certain flock de-
veloped the disease which was unsus-
pected until they became greatly
emaciated. In fact, one of them was
so weak when the caretaker discover
ed the true cause of the trouble that
she could not walk. These fowls
were at once isolated and as the
merits of sour milk had been previ-
ously tested in cases of diarrhoea 1T
was decided to give it trial with the
case in hand. The only food the birds
received was clabbered milk, nor did
they receive any medical aid Of any
kind. After few days marked i'm
provement in the nature of the dis
charges was seen and the fowls began
to gain. Gradually they were brought
back to their regular ration, but the
milk was continued until they were
completely recovered. Since then the
curative properties of this article, so
plentiful on almost every farm, have
been repeatedly shown until by the
writer it is considered an almost GER
tain specific for bowel disorders Of
poultry.

are the ones that grow most rapidly,
mature soonest and lay best during
the winter.
A palatable mash which should pro-
duce winter eggs in a well-bred flock
of fowls kept in light, roomy and sani-
tary quarters, can be made as fol-
lows: 100 pounds of bran; 100 pounds
of gluten meal; 100 pounds of meat
scrap; $50 pounds of crushed oats and
$50 pounds of cornmeal. Two ounces
of this mash, with one and one-hait
ounces of cracked corn, and one-half

PATRIOTIC SERVICES

I Shoshone made a day of it last Mon
day in the way of patriotic exercises.
A series of fortuitous events eliminated
that day for Shoshone patriots. A
new 100 foot steel flag pole had been
erected in the court house lawn by
the county commissioners and a new
flag purchased. These were ready for
dedication and the entraining of an
other bunch of soldier boys. coupled
with the request of the President that
the whole United States sing the Star
Spangled Banner on that ay at the
same hour, gave splendid opportunity
for the dedication. So at o'clock p.
NJ, the crowd gathered from all parts
of the county at the court house yard.
Prof w. NJ. Massey, Superintendent
of the Jerome Schools, was chairman.
Rev. Barger, a veteran of the civil war,
delivered the opening prayer This
was followed by Judge Fuller, a short
patriotic adress as a representative OF
the Grand Army of the Republic and
John Bailey, as a veteran of the Phil
lippine war followed with an address.
Delno McMahon then sounded the
bugle call and the new flag was reIeas-
ed from the top of the pole. The Boy
Scouts fired a salute and the exercises
closed by the audience singing Amer
ica.
At SIS the people gathered at the
depot to bid the boys good bye and
God speed in their great work Those
entraini1g for American Lake were

America unite in singing The Star

hour brought the hour for Idaho at

citizens gathered at the Court
House at that hour and Joined in the

lacked in musical art it more than made
up in spirit and enthusiasm for the

1t is the desire of the Journal to
keep in it's honor roll the names of all
soldiers in every branch of the service
who claim residence in Shoshone
North Shoshone tract, Dietrich, Owinza
or Kimama. Those are the portions of
Lincoln county served by the Journal.
Owing, however. to enlistments of
those not in the draft ares. and the
rapid calls for drafted men 1t seems
difficult to keep the list complete. So
every reader is asked to help by noti-
flying us at once of any names not in
the list that are entitled to be there.
The Journal has an outstanding pro-
position to send the Journal free to
every soldier on its list, whose correct
address could be secured. Recently,
however, the Government has ordered
every newspaper to discontinue send
ing paners 70 any person who has not
actually raid in advance for the paper,
and under this order the Journal pro-
position, with much regret, is with
drawn.

POLITICAL RUMoRS.

Always the last few days preceedins, !,
an election the air is filed with rumors
and false alarms which are started
after their authors calculate it is too
late for their lies to be refuted Some
of them escape from their secret cham
bers ahead of time, and are sort of still
born, as it were. Here is one which
comes from the state house and is ap-
parently fathered by VanDeusen ana
Daugherty. The dope l. to advise
Republicans to enter the Democratic
Primaries in order to defeat the Non
partisan candidates. 1t is believed by
those on the inside that VanDuesen and
Daugherty are theonly candidates for
state offices on their ticket who are
likely to be nominated, and even they
feel they will need help from outside
their party. League leaders and the
friends of VanDuesen and Daugherty
have been in close conference of late
with the evident purpose of inducing
league voters to abandon their candi-
dates for Secretary of State and Au-
ditor The League newspapers, how
ever are against the plan and urge their
voters to vote-er straight. The Repub-
licans are urging their voters to stay
in their own party at the primaries,
let the Democrats and Nonpartisans
scrap it out for the nominations and
then unite all opposition to the league
in the general election.
