LONDON. Jan. ll.-Fredcric VILE.
former Berlin correspondent for the
London Mail says the German crisis

eral Won Hindenburg is the supreme
dictator of Germany. General Won
Ludendorff is the actual generalissimo
under Hndenburg whose popularity
assures the success of any move get

The crown prince is a steadfast Hin
denburgist. Hertling is HindenburE's
political manager. The foreign secre-
tary is permitted to do only what is
ordered. The ReischstaG is merely a
debating society whose only vestige of
power is in voting funds. The food
situation is bad but not near the break

weary but so are the other armies.
Germany won't stop fighting until she
is made to see that militarism does not

Late Hatched Chicks
Owing to the unusually cold wealth
er the past winter. egg production
was far below normal, many hens
not laying at all from Noting period
last fall until late this spring. The
long rest has caused many hens to
lay longer this spring and later than
usual before becoming broody, and
the result is that there are not as
many chicks on the farms and in
the backyards as there should be at
this season of the year. This short
age must necessarily be overcome
with May and early June Matched
chicks.
The writer has had quite a few
inquiries, Can l raise chicks Matched
after May II" To one and all we
say, eyes, most assuredly you can"
1t is true that the mortality of May
and early June Matched chicks is
greater than those Matched earlier in
the spring; however, this in large
measure can be overcome by proper
1y feeding and caring for the young
sters
After the chicks are 4S hours old
feed a good commercial chick grain
each morning and night. If this is
not available, feed a fine cracked
corn. broken rice, millet. etc. Feed
forenoon and afternoon Johnny cake
or egg bread well cooked AS chicks
grow older gradually substitute fine
grain for medium cracked corn and
oats. Also begin to feed available
kitchen waste. Buttermilk and fresh
skinned milk is fine for growing
chicks. See that all drinking YES
sells are scrupulously clean. Growing
chicks require an abundance of ten
der green feed Don't think that the
grass around the place that has been
growing all the year is sufficient for
your late chicks. Feed luttuce, gar
den greens or plant a small patch Of
ground to oats. There is nothing
growing chicks like better than grow
ing oats. Plenty OF shade is also a
necessary essential for young chicks,
