glad to hear that you are all feeling bet

am getting The Times regularly now
and have read some of the letters that
the boys have sent home, and ! am glad
that most of them are not boastful or
over-confident. They are ND against men
that know how to fight, and with little
more experience they will know better
how to meet him and will also know just
how to 60 at him. There isn't German
on the face of the earth any better than
our own boys, but he has slight advan-
tage in knowing how to fight. When the
boys from home get here and learn lit
tie more of this mode of warfare, they
will sure give him a hot time.
The British and French have done some
marvellous fighting in the past month,
against odds that have seldom been
known before. They have fallen back a
little, but they made him pay an awful
price in men for what ground he has
taken. 1t may look to some people like a
losing fight for the allies, but it is differ

is the beginning of the end, and that |

both his statements, but | do say he is
wrong in trying to keep cigarettes away
from the fighting man. If Mr.. Abbott
were within range of shellire for weeks
and months, he might alter his opinions
also. A wounded man being carried down
through shellfire, or he may be walking,
finds great strain taken from his nerves
if he can only have a cigarette. There
are many other cases where it is great

eminent will supply them

JUNGLE FARM OF so ACRES
Only Ranch in World Where Crops
Are Produced for Exclusive Use
Of Wild Animals,

On a large tract of ground on the
outskirts OF New York city there is
the only farm in the world where
crops are raised for the exclusive
use of wild animals.
Little is known even in the metrop-
oils, about this curious jungle farm,
yet it covers about fifty acres, and
has been in existence for some time.
1t has gradually become a veritable
clearing house for foodstuffs for more
than 5000 captive beasts, birds, and
reptiles hailing from all parts Of the
world, who now live as one happy
family in the fine New York Zoologi-
cal park.
Until the establishment of the farm.
the provision of bountiful and varied
menu which would satisfy the resi-
dents of the zoo and keep them in good
health the year round, was a most
difficult matter, particularly in winter !;
but the products Of the farm have
solved this problem perfectly. Not
only do these include corn carrots,
beets, cabbages, turnips, potatoes and
other good things that delight the ap-
petite Of vegetarians among the jungle
folks, but the needs Of the carnivorous
beasts are also looked after, For this
purpose, the farm contains several big
breeding houses in which are raised
large quantities of chickens, rabbits,
guinea pigs, rats, white mice, pigeons,
squads and pigs.

Fatten Poultry

The question is often asked: How
long does it take to fatten poultry
properly?
The time required to fatten chickens
and other poultry for prime market
finish depends largely upon what kinds
of feeds are given and the range of
the birds during the fattening period.
II the birds are allowed to run at
large and range freely the fattening
period is much longer, and in some
cases with wide range the birds will
never become in prime market condi-
ton, no matter how literally fed. The
reason for this is that the birds in
walking and roaming over wide areas
take too much exercise, and feed that
under other conditions would 20 to
form flesh and fat goes to furnish
muscular energy, which is lost so far
as fattening is concerned.
In the case of turkeys, which are
sem1wild birds, limited range for the
birds is necessary, especially in early
and late fall, When insects, wild seeds,
green clover and grasses are still to be
secured. Turkeys will grow and take
on flesh as long as these wild feeds on
the open range can be secured freely.
However, as cold weather comes on it
is best to supply turkeys with corn and
other feeds they will eat close to the
barn and poultry quarters, so that they
will roam as little as possible as the
marketing period approaches. They
will not bear confinement and forced
feeding like other kinds of poultry. In
very close confinement they will worry
off more flesh and fat than they will
put on, as rule
With chickens, ducks and geese it is
economical to confne them closely and
feed heavily few days before mar
keting. The confined birds should
have all they will possibly eat of mixed
grain, or ground grains and water.
The best method is to feed a mixture
of ground grains and skim milk. Birds
fattened this way in close confinement
are known as "milk-fed" poultry, and
such when in prime condition COM
mand the highest market prices. The
time required for fattening is from one
week to ten days, after which time the
birds will not gain in weight and
should be sold Immediately.
