(By r. N. Crane, Poultry Specialist,
Division of Extension, University of
Tennessee.)
The earliest matured cOckerel that
shows the most vigor, that feathers
first, and is disposed to fight, is nearly
always the best breeder, and should
be retained.
The cockerel should have strong,
understanding apart legs. He should
have a strong back, be wide across the
shoulders, and back to the hips. He
should have deep, full breast, short
neck, short blocky head, medium sized
comb, and strong, bright eyes. This
type of cockerel is easily kept fat, and
| will transmit this quality to his off
spring.
/ Summer Care of Poultry.
When cockerels attain marketable
ages they should be sold and the pull
let's transferred to roomy quarters
which have been thoroly whitewashed.
Roupe and tuberculosis will develop
if they are allowed to stay in crowded
coops.
Pullets which have their early
growth hindered by close conditions
never develop into profitable egg-pro-
ducing hens.
Need Fresh Water.
During August and September, poul-
try must have plenty of fresh water,
grain night and morning, and dry
mash at all times. An excellent mash
can be made from ingredients proper
toned as follows:
200 pounds of ground corn, 200
pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds
each of wheat, bran and shorts, %
pounds of old process linseed meal,
100 pounds of meat scrap; add TO this
one per cent of fine salt, five per cent
of oyster shell, grit and charcoal.

New York. Jan. 3.-The Black Cat

hemians. A table at the Black Cat

ing where village folk congregated to
hear Bobbie Edwards twang his
home made ukulele and sing his made
up songs.
Broadway and Fifth avenue began
to seek adventure at the Black Cat.
Another building next door was taken
and finally a new stucco building has
| been erected, where n huge black cat
with green eyes hangs over the en-
trance.

| for packing purposes. There is a
| long, narrow room with benches and
tables jammed together in sardine

John. a pianist who is blind, taps out

The food Is served la carte and
there is much red and white wine.
At the Black Cat one is served with
what is known as the Triple Bronx.
which is three Bronx cocktails in one.
The crowd is always jazzy and good
natured. Lima. n village queen. may
| always be seen at the Black Cat. She
| came from Italy and is a noted
beauty. During the day she is an
artists model and at night she casts
her luck with the Bohemians.
Lima, like all of the regular Bo-
| hemians, smokes Russian cigarettes
almost constantly. Many of the regu-
lars have long since gone to the wars
and they will soon be home-looking
forward, no doubt. to the great well
come that the Black Cat gives its
| own.

Would Pool the German Debt.

An interallied financial alliance is
strongly advocated by Edmund The
ry, the French economist, in the FL
garo. 1t should take the form of a
special organization, he says, to re-
ceive for joint account all sums
paid by Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, which it
would transform into liquidation
bonds, ito be distributed among the
allies"
NJ. Thery points out that after the
signing of peace the richest Entente
nations will seek to improve their
monetary situation and consolidate
their financial situation as rapidly
as possible on gold basis. Such
consolidation would augment the
difficulties of the less favored allies
in converting to gold, sterling, dol
lars or france, the claims they recov-
er from the enemy, on which they
count to pay the debts they have
contracted, either with the wealth.
ier allies or with neutrals.
Individual conversion of war dam
ages, it will thus be seen, says NJ.
Thery, would provoke between the
Entente nations an antagonism of
interests which Germany would not
fail to profit by to try to elude wholly
or in part her engagements. Such
competition between the allies, he
contends, would be an objectionable
mistake, for it would divide them
within a few years.

New Army Legislation.

Legislation providing for a tenn
porary military establishment of
about $4,000 officers and men dur
ing the fiscal year beginning next
July l was eliminated from the an
nual army appropriation bill in the
house last Tuesday after passage OF
the senate bill for resumption of VOL
untary enlistments in the peace time
army, which would be restricted to
the maximum of $4,000 men au-
thorized in the national defense act
of 1916. The senate measure, which
now goes to conference, will become
effective upon its approval by Presi-
dent Wilson. The army bill was
adopted b. the house without a rec
ord vote, and and now goes to the
senate with it's completion there at
this session regarded by many lead
ers as doubtful. 1t carries total
of 1,07O.OOO,000 for the war de-
partment for the IL months after
June 80. 1t is explained by men,
bers of the house that the senate bill
did not affect the present war time
army, which, under the selective
service act, must be demobilized
within four months after peace is
formally declared by presidential
proclamation. Decision of the house
to consider the senate measure was
by a vote of 172 to 1852.
