though occasionally there are hens
running with male birds that lay In
fertile eggs. This Is often the case
with hens that are confined In yards

green feed. or those that are overfat.
The fertile egg should only be pro-
duced during the breeding season. The
fertile egg Is the one from which the
chick is Matched. and that spoils %

Coop Hens; Let Chicks Range.

1t Is best to confine the mother hens
until the chicks are weaned. The
mother hen that is allowed to range
unrestricted with her chicks frequent
ly takes her brood through wet grass
and as a result some are chilled and
die, especially the weaker ones which
are likely to be left behind. The loss
OF young chicks which follows such
practice is large and mainly prevent

rcaci ~ Victory

II HE fact might well be faced that Il
diplomatic peace, that is, peace by
concession or compromise, seems further re-
moved to-day than it has at any time since
declared. Ii there is to be peace it
must como through military triumph. The
German and Austrian armies must bo de-
tca;cd and terms dictated instead OF ncgot
atcd. The war mus; literally be won. and
must be upon The battle field and not
around tho council! table
This is the conviction which forces itself
upon the mind result OF Premier Lloyd
Georges answer TO the proposals submitted
by Count Czernin. the Austrian Minister for
Foreign Affairs and. for tho time being tbs
spokesman of the central powers. and the
still stronger definite statement of President
Wilson to Congress. When the Englishman
speaking for the entente, laid down the con-
ditiOns under which he and his associates are
willing to end the war, he showed low wide
is the gulf between the two groups Of nations
He left no middle ground upou which they
might get together. He candidly declared
that Germany and Austria must surrender
upon every vital issue which tho war has
raised The conditions announced by Prcsi-
dent Wilson harmonze with and enlarge
upon Lloyd Georges statement Both agree
in the irreducblc minimum, which spells
victory for tho allies.
There is not the slightest indication i'm any
move or spoken word on the part of the CEN
trai powers that they are prepared to sur
render upon, any issue. They arc not willing
TO indemnify Bclgium: they arc not willing
to ccde AlsaCe-Lorraine TO France: they are
not willing to give up Trieste to Italy: thew
arc not willing that Turkeys dominions in
Asia shall have political autonomy; they arc
not willing to overthrow the autocratic GOV
crnmonts in Berlin and Vienna with which
inc entente refuses 10 deal. In fact thpy ro
unwilling TO yield upon any question around
which this revoves
This means that the warning elements are
dcadlockcd upon possible terms of peacc
Just AS they are. for the time dcadlocked
upon the field Of battle. There are but two
ways of breaking this deadlock One is the
defeat of one army or the other. The other
way is through the reputation Of the Ger
man government by the German people II
this should eventuatc, it would mean mill
tary defeat for Germany of course. so. after
all, there is but one solution for tho problem
The enemies of the central powers must APP
proach that solution with renewed determine
ton
Even So it is we'll that the entente allies
have laid their case before the world In
general way there nothing new in the
Lloyd George statement, except the fact that
he had made it. This prOnounCcment is but
summary OF many earlier declarations by
individual governments arrayed against Ger
many. but the straigh forward manner in
which tho British Premier and tho President
have recorded tho aims Of the allies will have
a wholesome effect generally. II gives reas-
suranca To each OF these nations associated
with England and the United States, and il
serves final notice upon tho contra! powers
that the allies mean to fight until their ends
achieved.
