ORANGE COUNTY FARM !.
BUREAU.
Notes for Week Ending May as.

A. L. Smith, poultry specialist of the
Y. ;, department of agriculture, spoke
this past week at meetings Of the Taplin
Hill Farmers club, Bradford grange
fairlec grange, and North Randolph
grange. Mr.. Smith is detailed to encour
age poultry production by increasing the
efficiency of poultry methods. He also
believes there is chance for increase
in number, as by the 1912 census Yer.
mont stood 10Th in the United States
In number of hens per acre. Much of
the complaint about the upprofitableness
OF poultry at present is due to keeping
so many hens of poor laying quality.
By means OF tests easily applied in the
fall, the drones or Stacker" hens can be
picked out, thus decreasing the amount
of feed required for the flock. Mr.. Smith
would like TO arrange in the fall series
OF culling demonstration meetings in the
county. Everyone interested in poultry
subjects is urged 10 give their name TO
the county agent, that he may help keep
them in touch with Mr.. Smith and his
work.

dollars worth of eggs are candled and
thrown out each season from Nav ON
through the hot months and are practi.
eally wasted, simply because the rooster
has not been removed after the Matching
season is over. You are practically
through breeding during the month of
May The hens will lay as well without
the rooster. You cna save about so
pounds OF grain per rooster. Further ad-
vantages are: A better marketable prod
uct, because the eggs cannot spoil as
quickly; and also, in home preservation
of eggs, they will keep better. If you
want to keep the male bird for some spe.
eial breeding qualities that he may pos
sess, you can easily separate him from
the hens, thereby conserving that part
of the product in better shape.
The supply of eggs will be greatly in
creased, even if no more eggs are pro-
dueed, stopping the great waste of |
spoiled eggs due TO fertilization.
Anyway you look at, "swatting the |

Germany's Reply.

Copenhagen, Oct. 27.-Germany's
answer to President Wilson's latest
communication says:
"The German government has TAX
en- c~ognizance of the answer of the
President of the United States.
"The President is aware of the far
reaching changes which have been
carried out and are being carried
out in the German constitutional
structure, and that peace negotiations
are being conducted by a peoples
government, in whose hands rests,
both actually and constitutionally,
the power to make the deciding con-
illusions.
"The military powers are also sub
ject to it. The German government
now awaits proposals for an armis-
tice which shall be the first step to-
ward a just peace, as the President
has described it in his proclamation.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Clills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: 81 am a user
Of Thedford's Black raught; In fact,
it was n Of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when I
was & child. When any Of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave 1s
a dose Of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria ard
chilIs, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would. soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for It certainly has saved us lots OF
doctor bills. Just a dose Of Black
Draught when not SO well saves q
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years In the treat.
I'ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which It
now enjoys Is proof Of It's merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
YOU will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something Is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black~Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed'
ford's. the original and genuine. d 70

which the whole action proceeds.
"The president would deem him
self lacking in candor did, he not
! point out in the frankest possible
terms the reason why extraordinary
safeguards must be demanded. Sig
nifcant and important as the consti-
tutional changes seem to be which
are spoken of by the German foreign
secretary in his note of the goth OF
October, it does not appear that the
principles of a government respon-
sible to the German people has yet
been fully worked out or that any
guarantees either exists or are in con-
temptation that the alterations OF
principle and of practice now partial
ly agreed upon will be permanent.
Moreover, it does not appear that the
heart of the present difficulty has
been reached. 1t may be that future
wars have been brought under the
control of the German people, but
the present war has not been; and it
is with the present war that we are
dealing. 1t is evident that the Ger
man people have not means of COM
manding the a~cquiescence of the
military authorities of the Empire
in the popular will; that the power
of the king of Prussia to control the
policy of the empire is unimpaired;
that the determining initiative still
remains with those who have hitherto
been the masters of Germany. Feel
ing that the whole peace of the world
depends now on plain speaking and
straightforward action, the president
deems it his duty to say, without any
attempt to soften what may seem
harsh words, that the nations of the
world do not and cannot trust the
word of those who have hitherto
been the masters of German policy,
and to point out once more that in
concluding peace and attempting to
undo the infinite injuries and injus-
tees of this war the government of
the United States cannot deal with
any but veritable representatives of
the German people who have been as
sured of a genuine constitutional
standing as the real rulers of Ger
many. If it must deal with the mill
tary masters and the monarchial au-
tocrats of Germany now, or if it is
likely to have to deal with them later
in regard to the international obliga-
lions of the German Empire, it must
demand not negotiations but sur
render. Nothing can be gained by
leaving this essential thing unsaid.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ance Of my high consideration.

Washington, October 23.-The fol-

"Sir: I have the honor to &C
knowledge the receipt of your note
of the 22nd transmitting a communi-
cation under date of the goth from
the German government and to ad-
wise you that the president has in
structed me to reply thereto as fol-
lows:
Having received the solemn and
explicit assurance of the German gov
eminent that it ~unreservedly accepts
the terms of peace laid down in his
address to the congress of the United
States on the Sth of January, 1918,
and the principles of settlement
enunciated in his subsequent address
es. particularly the address of the
9th of September, and that it de-
sires to discuss the details of their
application, and that this wish and
purpose emanated not from those
who have hitherto dictated German
policy and conducted the present war
On Germany's behalf but from minis
tiers who speak for the majority of
the Reichstag and for an overcoming
majority of the German people; and
having received also the explicit
promise of the present German gov
eminent that the humane rules of
civilized warfare will be observed
both on land and sea by the German
armed forces, the President of the
United States feels that he cannot
decline to take up with the govern
ments with which the government of
the United States is associated the
question of armistice.
"He deems it his duty to say again,
however, that the only armistice he
would feel justified in submitting for
consideration would be one which
should leave the United States and
the powers associated with her in a
position to enforce any arrangements
that may be entered into and to make
q renewal of hostilities on the part
of Germany impossible. The presi-
dent has therefore transmitted his
correspondence with the present Ger
man authorities to the governments
with which the government of the
United States is associated as
a belligerent, with the suggestion
that, if those governments are dis
posed to affect peace upon the terms
and principles indicated, their mill
tary advisers and the military advis-
ers. Of the United States be asked to
submit to the governments associat-
ed against Germany the necessary
terms of such an armistice as will
fully protect the interests of the peo-
pies involved and ensure to the asso-
ciated governments the unrestricted
power to safeguard and enforce the
details of the peace to which the Ger
man government has agreed, provided
they deem such an armistice possible
from the military point of view.
Should terms of armistice be suggest
ed, their acceptance by Germany will
afford the best concrete evidence of
her unequivocal acceptance of the

NEW ESTIMATE CUTS
| DOWN ship TONNAGE

Washington, Feb. i4.-Officials OF
the United States shipping board told
the house naval affairs committee to-
day that the total new tonnage In 1918
will be around 100000 Instead OF
100000 originally estimated.
This figure TALES with the figures
submitted to congressional committees
by private experts. The board, how
ever, has, up to today, silently held,
to it's first estimate despite all criti-
cisms.
Two members of the board--Commis
sioners Page and Donald--appeared
before the, committee to announce
their opposition to the plan of man
ming shipS with naval reserves. With
, them came Harry Howard, director
fof recruiting for the board.
Questioned by committee members.
he said that he had been instructed
to recruit only enough men to man
a tonnage OF 3,4l 1000. He admitted
this appeared" to be the boards in.
side opinion of what actually could
be done.
Commissioners Page and Donald
corroborated his opinion. The com
mittee asked for no further details.
Testimonv~e of the shipping board
men was that plenty of skilled sailors
could be found to man ordinary YES
sells. They admitted that transports
and munitions ships could best Ire
handled by crews in uniform and un-
der discipline.

geous from a military standpoint.
Recommendations.
1t is customary, | believe, for your
retiring president to make such rec
ommendation as he thinks proper fer
the ensuing year, being of course
mindful that his recommendations
should have the approval of his sue
cessor Ia Office. In addition to the
suggestions / have thrown out in this
report, most respectfully recommend
for your consideration the appoint
ment Of a committee to reorganize the
completes of the chamber. A num-
Der of our committees, which under
our constitution have to be continued,
have become obsolete and some of
them. during an entire year. have had
no matters referred to them. I be-
lieve there should be small num-
Der Of standing committees and spe-
C!al committees appointed to investi-
gate and report to the directors ON
all matters not within the jurisdiction
OF the standing committees. This, of
course. means a change in our con-
stitution, and the change cannot be
made at tonights meeting, but at least
special committee can be appointed
TO consider the matter and report to
a future meeting of the chamber.
| cannot too strongly recommend
that our people stand absolutely be-
hind and cooperate with our govern
ment and our local committees here,
having the matter in charge. in their
efforts to induce our people to save.
Richmond is willing to do her part
in everything necessary to be done 10
win the war and one of the most i'm
portant things to be done is to save
and conserve, whether 1t be food saw
ings or energies.
Another thing to be considered by
the incoming administration Ia better
housing conditions for our working
people, particularly the negroes. a
movement was started some time ago
To do something in this matter, and
every one approached seemed inter
ested, but other questions, because of
the war seemed so important that
temporarily the matter was dropped
This question should be taken up and
something done.
In conclusion, I wish to thank not
only the members OF the board and
the employees of the chamber, but our
members for their hearty and willing
support during my ADMINISTRATION,

Richmond our appreciation OF their
