YES, THEY WERE IN THE WAR
Kaiser Might Have Remembered Being

The first American to meet the kali

CARE OF BACKYARD POULTRY
Phase of Home Production That
Should Be Considered by Those
Desiring Eggs and Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The keeping of fowls on town lot
or In the back yard is phase of home
production that should be considered
by all who desire to supply the table
with eggs and meat at cost cOnsid-
erably below the usual market price.
Ordinarily, the keeping Of from II to
25 hens is sufficient to provide the
average family with eggs and meat.
For flock of % hens space Of from
20 to 30 square feet per bird should
be allowed, and the yard so divided
as to permit them to be alternated
from one yard to the other. Thus, a
lot of 25 by 80 feet, which is even
smaller than the average town lot,
should be the minimum space for
flock Of this size. By having the
yard divided cover crops, such as
wheat, oats, rape, or rye, can be
growing in the unused yard and
when sufficiently grown the fowls be
allowed to pasture 1t.
For yard 25 by 80 feet, or $50
square feet in size, the above-men-
toned grains may be sown in the fol-
lowing amounts: Wheat, 21a pounds;
oats, IL pounds; rye, 81 pounds;
rape, PA ounces. When available,
lawn clippings make excellent green
feed for fowls.

Figures Never Lie.

In January, 1910, there were in the

81 .115 single women insane and 3d.

to the New York Times says:
The Prussian king. Frederick William II, took
1t from England in 1872 in order to giorify him
self at the dedication Of a triumphal arch in
Berlin called the Brandenburg thor. This gate Of
victory was erected In honor Of his troops who
had been chased out Of France by the rasxed
republican armies at Valmy. The Prussian rex1
ments returned across the Rhine In 1872 pro
Claiming themselves victorious, and welcomed
with every demonstration Of patriotic Joy.
The Danish royal house had the same national
anthem previous to Prussia, and Georxe m
adopted 1t more early still-without, however.
