In German War Aims. # sa 4:
Washington, June l27.--Germany's
latest declaration of war aims, as
enunciated by DR.. Won Kuehlmann,
was regarded by officials here as
merely another phase in Germa1y's

In the official view DR.. Won Kuehl-
mann's only new contribution was the
attempt to fasten principal response
bility for the war upon Russia, the

SELL NITRATE AT COST.


AS a part of its program for
stimulating agricultural production,
the federal government announces
through the secretary of agriculture
the purchase of about 100000 tons
Of nitrate OF soda which viii be sold
TO farmers at cost. farmers paying
the freight charges from the port of
arrival and the state fertilizer tag
fee.
The nitrate probably will be used
most largely by farmers in the At
lantic coast states from Long Island
10 Florida. owing to the value OF
nitrates for such crops as truck.
grain and cotton, and the greater
cost Of freight TO middle and west
ern states. The free-on- board cars
price at ports will be $3.50 a ton.
County agents and local commit
tees are cooperating with the de-
partment of agriculture in the work
of distributing the nitrate and will
furnish farmers with application
blanks and explanations Of how to
obtain the material. If the total of
the applications exceeds the 100, 200
tons available. the government re-
serves the right TO prorate the
amount to individuals in smaller
quantities
None of the nitrate will be sold
to dealers either directly or indirect

each farmer in his application must
agree not 10 resell any nitrate but

! cations must be signe! and returned

Back Yard POULTRY
Fed on Scraps viii
ChedpenEggSu

Raising small back yard hOcks of
chickens on table and kitchen
scraps to produce the family's eggs
and part of its meat supply is a So
luton Of one of the problems of the
high cost of living, according to
farmers bulletin $50 Of the United
States department of agriculture.
Back Yard Poultry Keeping." Even
as few as six or eight hens, says the
bulletin, should produce eggs
enough, where used economically,
for family of four or five persons
throughout the entire year except
during the melting period of the
fall and winter. BY the preserva-
ton in waterglass of surplus eggs
produced during the spring and
early summer, even this period of
scarcity can be provided for. The
use of scraps in feeding will keep
the cost of maintenance relatively
low, since only a small quantity of
supplemental feed will be neces-
sary.
Flock May be Kept OGN~Jess and
NOiseleSS.
There is no necessity for the back
yard poultry flock TO become a
nuisance to neighbors, says the bull
letin. If the house and yards are
kept reasonably clean there viii be
no annoying Odors. The noise made
by male birds can best be elimi-
mated, it is suggested, by the elimi-
nation Of the male bird himself. The
fact that there is no male in the
flock will have absolutely no effect
on the number of eggs laid by the
hen.
General Purpose Bred Best.
One Of the general purpose breeds,
such as Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red. or Orpington. is
preferable to the smaller breeds.
such as Leghorns. if the flock is TO
contribute 10 the family meat sup
ply as well as to furnish eggs. If
the production of eggs is the prin-
cipaI aim of the poultry farmer.
however, it viii pay 10 keep one of
the egg breeds. since they eat less
than the larger fowls. City poultry
keepers usually will find it most adj
the fall for egg production.
Piano Box Makes a Good House.
The housing facilities of the back
lot need not be elaborate and may
in fact, be constructed from large
packing cases or piano boxes A
floor space of from 8 to 4 square
feet per bird is ample in the houses
The ward sDace should he from %
to 80 square feet per bird. The back
yard poultryman. the bulletin points
out. should take care in feeding
table and kitchen scraps not TO
make use of decompOsed waste ma
terial or moldy bread or cake. as
such food may be seriously harm
