not American public opinion ought to

an author who would write Belgian
Boy Scouts book and in it defend the
practices of the German army in Belgium
is richly deserving of any punishment
that the law can devise
Poisoning the wells was proven to be
a German practice in Africa. Poisoning
the minds of American school children
with lies about the German atrocities in
Belgium is now shown TO be the wav of
the German idea in America. 1t is an
ingenious adaptation of the same humane
philosophy. 1t has undoubtedly done
considerable harm here Overtaking it's

In stopping the further dissemination of

The Mayor Retreats

Mayor Hylan has backed away smoothly
from the accumulated difficulties surround
ing the appointment of Chief Medical
Examiner. By naming DR.. Charles Norris,
an entirely competent and worthy cand-
date who stood second on the eligible list,
the Mayor has disposed of the impending
lawsuits, which manifestly threatened seri-
Gus trouble for his Civil Service Commits
sion. 1t is true His Honor has endeavored
to disguise the measure of his retreat by
saying this is probationary" appoint
ment. That means nothing Every ap-
rointment, of clerk, stenographer, what
ever it may be, which is made from civil
service list is made for a probationary
period of three months. Unless at the end
of the three months period DR.. Norris IS
removed the matter is finished
1t is to be hoped that the Mayor has
learned his lesson, and his Civil Service
Commission has learned its. The civil
service law is not a joke Or dead letter
1t is so much live issue that individuals
and organizations are willing to fight for
it in the courts--even to fight the powerful
officials of the city administration. More
over, we have distinctly not chad all the
reform we want in this town for some
time to come" as the Mayor recently
avcrred. Any official who shapes his

COMMUNITY KITCHEN WORK.
Women Combine to Can Large Guam
titles of Products of Home Gardens.

Community kitchens, where surplus
vegetables and fruits are canned I'M
der cooperative arrangements. were
operated last year in Ohio. Peasants,
Kanawha, Jefferson, and, to some ex-
tent, in other counties of West Vir-
ginia. The kitchens were supervised by
the home demonstration agents of the
extension division of the state univer-
sity.
In the city of Charleston, where a
kitchen was opened in July, the num-
Der who brought products to be canned
increased from fifty-six women during
the second week to several times that
number in short time.
Supplementing the work of the
Charleston kitchen are about fifteen
volunteer women who, under the super
vision of the home demonstration agent
of Kanawha county, established tenn
porary field kitchens in the rural COM
munities, to which the women bring
their surplus vegetables and fruits.
The county agricultural agent and his
assistants give active aid in connec-
ton with this work.
AS a result of this effort, large guam
titles of food were conserved, much Of
which would otherwise have been
wasted.

Caring for the Incubator.

After the Matching season is over. clean
and disinfect the incubator. Empty the
lamps and carefully store the parts inside
the machine Lamps containing oil which
are allowed to remain in place on the in
cubator for some time after the Matching
season may cause trouble when the ma
chine is started again, as. the oil tends to
work up into the hood. The incubator
should be disinfected once a year or often
er il any disease is present in the hens or
chickens. Some operators prefer to dSsin-
feet their incubators before or after each
hatch. A strong solution Of a reliable
coal-tar disinfectant may be used to wash
out the machine and to disinfect the egg
trays and nursery drawer.
If the burlap on the bottom Of the in
cubator is very dirty it may be cheaper
to renew than to clean it. With an incu-
bator of about three cubic feet capacity
one may disinfect by pouring one-half
ounce of formalin, which contains 40 per
cent formaldehyde, on one-half ounce Of
permanganate of potash in a pan in the
incubator. This produces very pene-
trating gas and thoroughly disinfects the
machine. The door of the incubator should
be closed just as soon as the liquid is
poured into the pan and left closed for
twelve hours or longer. Incubators should
be we'll aired before they are used after
disinfecting, especially when formaldehyde
or any disinfectant which produces a gas
has been used

HONEY TO HELP OUT
u. S. SUGAR SUPPLY

The average annual honey crop Of
the United States is about 100000, 900
pounds and is sufficient to supply each
man. woman and child with about two
and one-half pounds q year. which is
equivalent to 3 per cent Of the amount
of sugar they consume in normal times.
Thus there is ample room for expansion
of both the production and consump-
ton. The present use Of honey in the
home usually is as substitute for
jellies, jams. and strip. 1t is little used
in domestic cooking or baking, but
this use should be increased.
While honey within recent years has
sold at prices sufficiently low to justify
its use as substitute for sugar, it is
rarely used in commercial food manu-
featuring except in the making Of GER
tain cakes which must be kept moist
for a considerable time. Usually, how
ever. the supply of honey Is so inade-
quate that most of the crop can be
used as spread for bread. With the
use limited as 1t Is, many people in
the United States rarely eat honey,
but it is evident that there might
be developed a ready sale for honey as
a supplement to sugar il production
were increased many times.

INCREASE THE SIZE
OF YOUR WAR GARDEN
Many Gardeners Plan to Cultivate
Double Area Planted Last Year to
Furnish Vegetable Supply.

Many gardeners in the District OF CO.
lumbia are planning to double the size
of their last years garden and to make
the increased area produce the entire
years supply of vegetables for their
families. Some who devoted only a
small part of a big back yard last sum-
mer to growing vegetables have planned
to utilize the entire yard this season.
while others who grew large backyard
gardens a year ago have obtained the
use of nearby vacant lots this spring.
which they will cultivate in addition to
the garden close to the kitchen door.
A correspondent who has been a gar
dener for several years writes:
II hone there are multitude of gar
den makers. as well as myself, intend
ing to enlarge their gardens this year
SO that the field crops best adapted Tor
war needs may be left more largely In,
tact for the allied fighting forces ana
their supporters at and nj IT the front.
Heretofore my garden has been
little less than a quarter or an acre.
This spring it will be three-quarters
of an acre. so that it will practically
feed our family, together with tne
poultry products and tree puSn anu
zane fruits for the entire year. We plan
to fiji our storeroom shelves as never
hefore with large variety of canned
Vegetables and fruits, and store the
varieties in pits and other
ways of outdoor storage.
"By raising all of the staple and some
of the less commonly grown garden
products the variety can be made so
great that our family will be well
nourished and the various appetites &C
commodated.
Caring for a garden of the size men
toned is not a dreaded task II the ad-
vance preparation is thorough and all
crops are planted in rows arranged for
horse and wheel-hoe culture. Let me
urge many to enlarge their gardens and
plan to make them the best ever
grown"

dlings 200 pounds wheat bran. 100
pounds linseed meal. 100 pounds ground
oats (hulls eifted out). 100 lbs alfalfa
meal and 200 pounds beef scraps. This
mash should be moistened with milk or
water and fed twice a day, allowing
grain at the other three feelings.
When the above change in feeding
is made it is usually necessary to use
a larger sized grain mixture instead
OF the chick feed. What is known as
a growing feed mixture is good to in

using the same mash as is being fed
moist. This will be found a great help
to growth during the period of from
three to eight weeks of age.
At six weeks of age the number of
feelings should be reduced to four a
day-two each of mash and grain fed
alternately. After the chicks are eight
weeks old the number of feelings
should be reduced to three a day

obtained il the flock can be allowed
free range from this age till maturity.
Dry or Wet Mash.
Should it be desired to use the dry
mash method of feeding. the one feed
ing of moist mash should gradually be
reduced in quantity. and in time entire
ly eliminated. thus inducing the chicks
to eat entirely of the dry mash If it
Is desired to continue the moist mash
throughout the life Of the chick, the
allowance of dry mash can be gradually
reduced and In time discontinued, while
the allowance of moist mash is in
creased. Either method should be
adopted and the change made at this
time.
The growing feed grain mixture
should be gradually displaced at this
time by a mixture Of equal parts corn.

flock is allowed range. they will prac-
tically take care of themselves.

CARE OF HEN WITH CHICKS.
Attention During Period of Hatch.
ing May Prevent Serious Losses.

When the chicks begin to hatch the
sitting hen should not be disturbed I'M
less she is restless and steps on or
pecks the chicks. In this case the
chicks should be removed as soon as
dry and placed in basket lined with
flannel or some other warm material
and the basket placed near a fire or
in some warm place until all the eggs
are Matched. Another plan is to remove
the eggs from the restless hen and
place them under a more quiet one
whose eggs are Matching at the same
time.
When the eggs hatch unevenly, as ia
frequently the case, those which are
slow in Matching may be placed under
another hen. Hens often are restless
after a part of the chicks are out
which allows the remaining eggs to be-
come cool at the very time when steady
heat is necessary to successful and
and any eggs which have not Matched
as soon as Matching Is over.
The mother hen should be fed as soon
as possible after the eggs are Matched
as feeding tends to keep her quiet
Hens that are not so fed will sometimes
leave their nests. In some cases it is
best that the hen remain on the nest
and brood the chicks for at least TWEEN
ty-four hours after the Matching Is
over.
1t is important at this stage to guard
against lice and mites. Before the hen
and her chicks are removed to a brood
ing coop she should be busted with a
good insect powder. This should be re-
peated every two weeks. or as often
as is necessary, until the chicks are
weaned. If lice become thick on the
chicks. or If they are troubled with
head lice." very little grease such as
lard or vaseline may be applied with
the fingers on the head. neck. under
the wings and around the vent. Great
care is necessary. however, not to get
too much grease on the chicks. az II
will stop their growth and in some
cases may prove fatal.
