ENCOURAGE PULLETS TO LAY
Avoid Any interruption of Regular
Habits or Radical Change in
Fowls tiet.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The growing pullet Is a creature of
habit, thoroughly addicted to regular
ity and vigorously opposed to disturb
ance and unusual connection. 1t is
essential for the good of the flock in
its entirety that the pullets should
grow and improve like clockwork,
from the time of Matching to maturity.
Laying is often retarded by seemingly
trivial disturbances, such as moving
the fowl from place to place and
changing the makeup of the ration.
In order to insure early Eggs see to
it that the growth of the pullets Is
not retarded in any manner whatever.
Almost without exception the pullet
whose growth from Matching to ma
turity has been regular, not subject
to checks and Interruptions, is an
early layer. In support of the state
ment that checked growth results in
retarded laying, comes the fact that
May-hatched pullets often lay earlier
than others which were Matched in
April but retarded in the early stages
of their growth by unfavorable
weather. Re~tardation by weather
conditions, however, is only n of
many factors which may stunt the nor
nal growth of a pullet and defer her
entrance to the laying class.
AS a rule, egg production begins at
or before the cessation of the pullet's
physical growth and development of
the reproductive organs. Generally,
influences which hinder growth also
operate to delay egg production for
several months. Any disturbance af-
fecting the habits, quarters or COM
fort of the pullet ut any stage of her
life may retard laying. Shifting the
birds from place to place and abrupt
changes in the diet often disturb the
fowl enough to retard laying. In fact,
poultry fanciers who desire to keep
pullets in condition for exhibition
often use this means of keeping them
from laying. On the average, pullets
about to begin laying are more SEN
s!tive to disturbances han at any 9TH

by steam. Every farmer who can af-
ford 1t should possess a steam boiler
and sterilizer. If he feels that this
is too great an expense, there are 9TH
er sterilizers on the market, cheap but
efficient, which will render milk uten-
sils sterile. A satisfactory home
made sterilizer has been developed by
the United States department of agri-
culture, and can be made at a cost of
making it may be obtained by address
ing the department, at Washington.
Such important factors as clean
udder, milking with clean hands, keep
ing the stables clean, and the use of
small-top pals will lower the bacterial
count, and should be carefully observ-
ed by all milk producers.
In cooling milk dairymen should use
facilities already existing, such as cold
water in wells and springs. When
milk is drawn from a COW 1t has a
temperature of about SO degrees F.
In the North, well and spring water
generally varies in temperature from
so to 60 degrees f. By the use of
surface coolers and a tank of cold run
ming water. milk a quickly be cooled
and held within two to four degrees
of the water.
During warm weather 1t may be nee
essary to ship or deliver milk twice
n day. This would have a tendency
to check spoilage, especially Of eve
ming milk, which is usually more than
twelve hours old when shipped. Milk
dealers can do much to prevent spoil
age by pasteurlzig the milk. Pasteuri-
cation not only kills disease bacteria
but reduces count. and therefore de-
lays spoilage.

er stage of their growth, and there
fore require greater care in handling,
but disturbances retarding the growth
even of small chicks are likely to post
pone the beginning of egg production.
1t is imperative that every poultry
keeper exercise the maximum of eau
ton from the time the chicks are
Matched until the pullets attain ma
turity, so that the fow will make reg
ular growth and not be subjected to
any factors which will stunt or divert
the proper development of the birds.
The alphabet Of proper management
of the pullets emphasizes such factors
as correct nourishment, constitution,
exercise, and cleanliness. Given the
proper care and surroundings, the
early-hatched chick will develop into
a profitable. early and persistent pro-
Queer of eggs. This is the goal to-
ward which every poultryman should
work.

The first requirement of young
chicks is warmth-a temperature COM
Portable for them. Chicks hatch in a
temperature of 102 degrees to 105 de-
grees f. When brooded by hens they
remain under the mothers nearly all
the time for two or three days. Chicks
shipped in small boxes are kept warm
by the heat of their bodies so long as
the boxes are not exposed to near
freezing temperatures, but this natural
heat is not sufficient when they are

Milk itself decays with age and pro-

C!emenceau Tells German
Government II Will Be Re-
sponsibIe for Actions
Bp Associated Press.


PARIS, June 26:-The German
peace delegation has been informed
in a note from Premier Ciemenceau
that the German government win be
held strictly responsible for unofficial
support of any movement against
Polish authority in the territory given
Poland in Posen and in east and west
Prussia.
The text reads:
"Mr. President: The Allied and
Associated powers feel 1t necessary to
direct the attention of the German
government to the fact that the
Polish authorities have come into
possession of the attached German
official dispatch which states that
while the German government means
to sign the peace they intend to
give unofficial support by all the
means in their power to local move
ments of resistance to the establish
ment of Polish authority in the ter
ritory allotted to Poland in Posen, and
in east and west Prussia, and to the
occupation of upper Silesia by the
Allied and Associated powers.
I'm view of this information the
Allied and Associated powers think It
necessary to inform the German
government that they will hold them
strictly responsible for seeing that,
at the time indicated in the treaty,
all troops and all officials indicated
by the allied commission, are with
drawn, and that in the event of local
disturbances in the resistance of the
treaty no support or assistance to the
insurgents is allowed to pass across
the new frontier into Poland.

general celebration committee as out
lined last night before a jostling,
happy crowd of service men, Perth
Amboy's own, who packed the coun-
Gil chambers of city hall to capacity,
and expressed their wishes in refer
ence to several factors of the big day
of the welcome home celebration.
Primarily the meeting was called to
ascertain whether the boys were de-
sirous of parading or wished to sit in
the grand stand. After considerable
argument pro and con between the
service men it was decided that all
should sit in the bleachers and review
about $1,000 citizens of the city as
they parade up State street past the
high school.
Another question put to the boys
for their consideration was in refer
ence to their appearing on Monday
in their uniforms, the khaki in which
they marched away from the city to
war;. and in which after months of
fighting in France, they again re-
turned. Numerous boys, upon being
urged to express their opinions by

some advocating wearing the uni
forms and others being decidedly ad-
verse to the idea. Following a rising
vote, in which nobody arose, the boys

Allied Letter To Germany
On Sinking OF War Graft

PARIS, June 26-The Allied and
Associated Powers today sent the fol-
lowing letter to the German peace del
egation: "Mr. President, the Terms of
the armistice signed by Germany on
November 11th. 1918, provided as fol-
lows:
Article 23-The German surface
warships which shall be specified by
the Allied and the United States, shall
forthwith be disarmed and thereafter
interned in neutral ports or sailing
them in the allied ports designated by
the Allies and the United States shall
They shall there remain under super
vision of the Allies and the United
States, only care and maintenance
parties being left on board.
"On June 81 the German warships
which had been handed over to the
Allied and Associated powers and
were at anchor in the roadstead at
Scapa Flow with the German care and
maintenance parties on board, pro-
vided in the armistice, were sunk by
these parties under the orders of the
German admiral in command, accord
ing to the information which has been
collected and transmitted by the Brit
ish admiralty. The German admiral
in command of these parties of the
German naval forces has alleged that
he acted in the belief that the armis-
tice expired on June Fl at midday
and consequently in his opinion the
destruction in question was not viola
tion of its terms.
I'm law Germany, by signing the
terms of Article 23 set out above. en-
tered into an undertaking that the
ships handed over by her should re-
main in the port indicated by the
Allies and Associated powers and
that care and maintenance parties
should be left on board with such in
struetion and under such orders as
would insure that the armistice
should be observed.
'"The sinking of these ships instead
of their preservation, as had been
provided for and in breach of the
undertaking embodied in Article 81
of the armistice against all acts of
destruction, constituted at once a
violation of the armistice, the de-
of the pledge handed over

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 26:-
county clerk, as invincible when he
is renominated in the campaign this
fail. the county Democrats are said
to be endeavor.ng to draw off one of
the freeholders from the Republican
ranks to run against him for the
clerkship. If this so-called ruse
should succeed Frederick Gebhardt,
of Highland Park, will oppose Mr..
Cannon and resign his place on the
freeholders' board Mr.. Gebhardt
said yesterday that he would neither
affirm nor deny his candidacy.
With the simultaneous expiration
of the terms of two other Republican
freeholdeu. Louis ]. Belloff and
Clarence NJ Haight, the resignation
of Gebhardt to run for the clerkship
would open up the third vacancy in
the board and give the Democrats an
opportunity to gain control of the
county fathers. E. Leon Loblein, the
only present Democrat on the board,
might then be reinforced by three
others. What chances the Democrats
would have If they were able to run

Confidential Reports

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 26:-Confi-
dental reports that the former Ger
man crown prince and also probably
the former emperor would attempt to
reenter Germany after the signing
of the peace treaty were received re-
Gently by government officials here.
This became known today after an
Associated Press dispatch telling of
the escape of the crown prince had
been received. If the former German
crown prince preserves his status as
a soldier the opinion of international
law authorities here is that the Meth
erland government may be held ac-
countable by the associated powers
for his escape.
1t was explained that the rules of
war and neutrality require the gov
ernment of any nation that affords
asylum to a fugitive soldier to intern
him for the period of the war and
that in this instance that period tech
nically had not elapsed. Officials said
one effect of the escape undoubtedly
would be to cause the authorities of
Holland to renew precautions to pre-
vent the escape of the former en-
peror.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-06-26

and an act of gross bad faith toward
the Allied and Associated powers.
This alleged justification is not
well founded as, under the communi-
cation addressed to the German dele
cation by the Allied and Associated
powers on June 16, 1919, the armistice
would only terminate on refusal to
sign the peace or If no answer were
returned on June 23 at o'clock.
According to international law, as en-
| bodied particularly in Articles 40 and
ii of the regulations annexed to the
fourth Hague convention of 1907, ev-
evry serious violation OF the armistice
by one of the parties gives the other
party the right to denounce it and
even in case of urgency to recon-
mence hostilities at once.
THE violation of the terms of the
armistice by individuals acting on
their own initiative, only confers the
right of demanding punishment Of
these offenders and If necessary, in
demnity for the losses sustained.
The admiral in command of the
care and maintenance parties belong
ing to the German naval forces has,
while recognizing that the act was a
breach of the armistice, attempted to
justify ii by alleging his belief that
the armistice had come to an end.
TT will therefore be open to the
allied and associated powers to bring
before n military tribunal the persons
responsible for these acts of destruc-
ton 80 that the appropriate penalty
may be imposed. Furthermore, the
incident gives the allied and associated
powers a right to reparation for the
loss caused, and in consequence, the
right to proceed to such further meas
ures as the said powers my deem ap-
propriate.
Lastly the sinking of the German
fleet Is not only a violation of the
armistice but can only be regarded by
the allied and associated powers as q
deliberate breach in advance of the
conditions communicated to Germany
and now accepted by her. Further
more. the incident is not an isolated
act The burning or commission for
the burning of the French flag which
Germany was to restore constitutes
another deliberate breach in advance
OF these same conditions.
