RAISING HEALTHY CHICKENS
Lack of vlgor In Newly Hatched
Chicks often Traeeable to Weak
Parents-Give Best Care. /.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To be successful in raising chickens
1t is necessary to have healthy and Wig
orous 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 Sc
rious deformity. Yearling hens are
usually better than pullets for breed
ers, for the reason that the hens are
more mature and do not lay so many
eggs during the early winter, and con-
sequently do not reduce their vitality
so much before the breeding season,
Vigorous hens two to four years old
can often be adyantageously retained
in the breeding yard. The male bird
chosen should be young and active.
An early Matched well-deyeloped cock

Washington busy place these
days of rehabilitation is the bureau of
war risk insurance of the treasury de-
partment of the United States, with its
$4,000 employees and its files contain
ing 30000,000 records.
Decentralization is having the effect
of making large proportion of the
soldiers become transient for an In
definite period after leaving the serv"
ice. Many Of the original addresses Of
these men become useless, as thou
sands forget to leave forwarding adj
dresses and neglect to write to the bu-
reau. In this way many men are los
ing touch with the bureau and are
neGlecting their Insurance. Hence the
efforts of the bureau to keep in touch
with demobilized men are increasingly
difficult, MS rehabilitation progresses.
Every possible agency is being used,
including the Red Cross and public or
CARNATIONS of many kinds.
Uncle Sam is perfecting plans for
the new forms of government insur-
hnce which the demobilized soldier will
want in place of his war risk insur-
ance. But the soldier cannot change
his war risk insurance for this new in
surance unless his monthly premiums
are paid up to date on his old insur-
ance.
Advice to Soldiers.
The advice which is being sent out
from the bureau of war risk insurance
to the soldiers who have left the serv-
ice may be summarized thus:
Hold on to your war risk insurance.
Keep up your premium payments.
If you have permitted your insurance
to lapse-even if you have formally
Cancelled it-hasten to reinstate It I'M
der the new and liberal provisions for
reinstatement.
Write for advice or information to
the Insurance Division, Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, Washington, d.
c." Give your full name and your
address, your rank at the time of ap-
plying for insurance; if in the army,
your army serial number, the number
of your insurance certificate, if known.
In sending check or money order for
your premium, make it payable to the
"Treasurer of the United States" and
mall 1t to "Premium Receipt Station,
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, WASH
ington, D. c."
Uncle Sam provided every soldier

surance. The "loan value" means that
you Gun borrow money on your policy
up to "a per cent Of the cash value.
"Paid-up Insurance and extended

not have to pay any more premiums.
One Of the most valuable features or

It provides for the disability OF the
holder, as we'll as for-his death. When
for anyereason you become totally and

not have to pay any more premiums,
but the government pays you the full

HARVESTING BIG WHEAT CROP
Department of Agriculture Advises
Farmer to Consider Question
Of Stacking.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With the biggest crop Of wheat on
record about to be harvested, 1t Is
probable that In many neighborhoods
thrashers will not be able to make
their rounds in the usual time. Con-
siderable quantities of wheat will have
to wait beyond the usual thrashing
time. If left in the shock, 1t will be
damaged by every rain, even to some
extent by the dew. The stacking of
wheat has fallen into disuse in latter
years, but 1t would be well, the de-
partment of agriculture says. for the

ing of crops horse power may be uti-
lized more efficiently In many sections
by the use Of more horse power per
man.
Cooperative use. of machinery in
harvesting the wheat and corn crop
would utilize horse power and labor
to advantage by the exchange of labor
among small farmers.
Use Of Manure spreader.
Hauling out manure on the average
farm as 1t is produced, instead of al
lowing it to accumulate around the
buildings and hauling 1t out when con-
venient, would be an economical prac-
tice. Where the expenditure is justi-
fable the use of u manure spreader
would distribute the manure to better
advantage and effect considerable saw
ing in labor over the old method Of
hauling out and spreading by hand.

More efficient utilization of horse
power on the average farm will assist
in large measure In saving labor.
The necessary horse power is usually
available for the efficient operation
Of the average American farm, but this
power is not always utilized or dis
tributed to greatest advantage.
The practice of blowing as much
land rs possible In the late fall rather
than in the spring, when work is press
ing, will result in labor. saving, as this
method utilities both horse power and
labor at a season when 1t would other
wise be practically idle.
In practically the entire cotton belt
the one-horse breaking pillow is in gen.
ernl use. This requires the use of one
man per horse in the operation Of the
farm. By the use of the two-horse
breaking pillow the same labor could
break more land and at the same time
make better seeded.
Labor Is Plentiful.
Planting and seeding are still done
by hand in some parts Of the cotton
belt, and the distribution of fertilizers
and manure is largely done in the
same manner. This custom has pre-
vailed no doubt because the labor has
been plentiful. But the use of horse
planters, grain drills, fertilizer dis
tributors. and manure spreaders,
where the amout of land under cult
walton would justify the expenditure
for the implements, great saving Of
labor could be effected.
In the cultivation of crops In many
parts Of the South the use of the one
horse plow and sweep prevails, and
because of the inefiiclency of these i'm
plements the crops must be hoed al
most continually in order to keep the
crop clean. This method could be i'm
proved upon by using the light harrow
or weeder when the crop Is young and
later the two-horse slngle-row culti-
vator. This would result in greatly
increasing the amount of work per-
formed with the same labor, and at the
same time doing the work more efii-
GENTLY.
Use Two-Row cutlvator.
In many sections of the country the
use Of the two-row cultiyator has
been demonstrated as practicable,
thereby utilizing more horse power
and performing more work with the
| same labor The use of this imple-
! ment should be extended where condi-
tons warrant. On the average corn
belt farm more horse power per man
| can be utilized In many instances. The
| use Of four or five horses on the dou-
BILE gang pillow would accomplish a
much greater amount of work than is
now performed per man on majority
| of farms where the two-horse walking
| pillow is used. In the preparation of
the seeded one man can readily han
die four or six horses hitched to the
section harrow to which additional
sections have been added, thereby In

TWELVE SPIES PAID
 PENALTY IN LONDON

The veil of official secrecy with re- gard to the part which spies played during the war can now in some cases be raised, and some of the main features of Germany's espionage sys- tenn in England disclosed. Since the war began twelve spies have been shot at the Tower of London. One, Kuepferle, hanged himself in Brixton Prison in the concluding stages of his trial. Others were sentenced to death and afterwards reprieved or sent enced to terms of penal servitude.
 Carl Lody was the first spy shot in the Tower. He was unquestionably the most valuable spy that Germany employed. He was a naval officer and spoke English perfectly, and was a man of tremendous nerve and re- source. Another clever spy was 9 man named De Rysbach, who was of Dutch percentage but born in England. His special business was to send in formation to Germany respecting the locality of intuition factories in Lon- don and the Home Counties

Our improved roads and their build CTS usually have. one feature in com mon, they are smooth and attractive on the surface, but no one knows what is underneath. With motor traffic rar- idly increasing in volume and weight the necessity for substantial founda- tions becomes more and more appar- ent. Most of our existing roads were not designed with view of carrying the heavy loads now imposed upon them, and in leW roads it would seem the builders cannot realize the pres ent changed conditions and the new character of the traffic; in any case the problem is not an easy one.
 Every element of modern road re- quires careful design and the best of workmanship. The foundation espe- eially must be deep and substantial, and for this it would seem that the usual layer of crushed stone is en- tirely inadequate and unsuited.
