RAISING HEALTHY CHICKENS.

To be successful in raising chick
ems it is necessary to have healthy
and vigorous breeding stock, for the
lack of vigor in the newly Matched
chicks is often traceable to weak
parents. Only the most vigorous and
the best grown birds should be put
in the breeding yards. Each bird
should be full of life and energy and
free from any serious deformity.
Yearring hens are usually better than
pullets for breeders, for the reason
that the hens are more mature and
do not lay so many eggs during the
early winter, and consequently do
not reduce their vitality so much be-
fore the breeding season. Vigorous
hens 2 to years old can often be
advantageously retained in the breed
ing yard. The male bird chosen
should be young and active. An ear
" hatched well-developed cockerel
is usually satisfactory, or a good
vigorous yearling or 2-year-old cock
NAV be chosen. The hens used Tor
breeding purposes should be given
the hest care possible; they should
he nrovided with large. runs, and
should not be forced for heavy egg
nroduction during the early winter.

TURK BEAUTY A MYTH.

Turkish women generally have
abandoned the veil, says William T..
Ellis, the newspaper correspondent
and globe trotter, writing in the New
York Herald, and great is the disillu-
sionment Mr.. Ellis describes as the
sequel to the unveiling. The ravish-
ing beauty hidden behind those wells
is a myth, according ito the writer.

MORE AMERICAN DAIRY
CATTLE TO FRANCE;
CHANCE FOR TRADE

Following the recent arrival from
France of a commission to negotiate
for several thousand head of dairy
cattle, the United States Department
of Agriculture points out how breed
ers in this country may help the
farmers of France and likewise bene-
fit the animal industry of the Unit
ed States. The number of cattle to
be supplied will depend upon the
ability of American dairymen to fur
nish sufficiently good animals at the
prices the commission is prepared to
offer.
Probably 5000 Cattle First Month.
The department has received noti-
fication that probably 5000 cows and
heifers will be purchased the first
month, and the number will be in
creased if the animals are satisfac-
tory.
This is the second purchase of
dairy cattle for the devastated reg
ions of France; the first, last April,
consisted principally of 1O4 pure
bred and grade cows and pure-bred
bulls purchased by the French High
Commission. C That Importation by
France was in the nature of a trial
order. Those cattle and the others
which will be obtained are to be used
as foundation herds for the devas-
tated sections of France. Two per
cent of the total shipments, as speci-
fled by the French officials, are to be-
bulls.

failed because of jealousies and diff
ferences of opinion between the
government and the army leaders,
the correspondent says.
"a report from Geneva Thursday
night said Herr Scheidemann had ar
rived in Switzerland after crossing
the frontier on foot.)
The last proposal made by the con-
spirators planning to oppose the al
lies, it is said, was to ask Poland to
combine with Eastern Germany in
the formation of an independent re-
public. The offer, it is declared,
was rebuffed by the Poles who asked
why it had not been offered ten years
ago.
The correspondent says it was the
intention to cooperate with the
grand duke of Mecklenburg in the
establishment of either a republic or
a non-president of East Prussia;
Herr Prussia and Posen. The plan,
he says, was favored by Adoplh Won
Batocki, president of East Prussia
Herr Schnackenburg, president OF
West Prussia and Herr Won Buelow,
president of Posen.
Herr Wig, the national commits
sioner for Posen and the two Prus-
sian provinces, the correspondent de-
clares, was to head the movement
and was to be in charge of the mill
tary forces which are to make an
immediate attack as soon as the
peace treaty was signed.
The plan was disclosed, it is added,
when various generals interested
had a conference with the govern
ment leaders at Weimar. General
Groener, at present the chief COM
mander, it is declared, was the first to
decide to abandon the plan. Matthias
Erzberger hear of the German ar
mistice commission and Merr Hoer-
sing, the commissioner for Upper ST.
lesia, also were involved. Gustav
Noske, the minister of defense, the
correspondent asserts, had difficult
time in persuading Erzberger to give
up the plan. The government it is
declared feared that Hoersing in
stead of operating against the Poles
with the troops under his command,
would turn about and march on Ber-
lin in an attempt to reestablish the
former emepror on the throne.

Washington, June 27-After thor

certain Western congressman to

Eyure that it would be practically
