TROI BLES GALORE AND
RIDERS LOSE SLEEP

Travellers and drivers OF automo-
biles between Olympia and Tacoma
have been having a good deal OF
grief this week. due to rain-sotten@d
roads and an epidemic of engine
trouble.
Several times the Nisqually fill has
been blocked by small cars which
could not pull through the wet sand
and occupied the center of the road
until a long line of other machines
formed and men from them lifted the
troublesome car out OF the mire. AT
times team OF horses used on =
county road scraper has been un-
hitched and used for this purpose.
Bootblacks and clothes cleaners in
Olympia and Tacoma did a rushing
business removing mud acquired
while boosting cars along this road.
Passengers on the bus which left
Olympia for Tacoma Sunday at b
O'Clock reached their destination at
10, but the bus remained on the side
of the road at the bottom Of the Ms.
aually hill until the next day, due to
engine trouble. When this occurred
the passengers were transferred .
another car, but it also broke down.
and third machine had to be
pressed into service.
Some of the passengers on this
stage had planned to take in a show
in Tacoma, but as they did not arrive
until 10 o'clock there was only an
hour before they had to return on the
last bus. On this trip also there was
trouble. Before leaving South Taco
ma there were several stops for read
justments, and the engine was so
weak that the driver did not dare to

Taking the detour. the car was
stalled at the bottom Of the hill.
Some Of the passengers were fortu-
nate enough to get ride to Olympia
in passing machines, and reached
home shortly after a. m. The 9TH

Fresh Winter Greens for Fowls
Are Grass Substitutes in Winter
o Fare


Winter greens for the flock is one
of the most profitable additions to the
poultry bilr of fare which the aver
age flock owner can supply. When
grass is available, the fowls get
plenty of green feed from rustling
about on the open range. With the
coming of Jack Frost, the pasturage
is exhausted and it becomes neces-
sary for the poultryman to provide
his hens with some juicy, succulent
and nutritious substitute for grass.
The variety of green feeds avail
able for winter use is enough 70
avoid monotony. For instance,
sprouted oats may be used profltably
although the preparation of this ma
terial usually involves some extra
care and exertion. Alfalfa meal
which now is available on the mar
ket. may be had at prices consistent
with the ultimate value Of the egg
crop while chopped alfalfa and

and succulence at moderate cost
Cabbages are used by many hen
owners as bulky and sappy feeds to
satisfy appetites craving for green
stuff. while mangel-wurzels--w which
usually have to be grown by the
flock owner in his home garden, as
it is difficult to secure these beets on
the general market-also are keenly
relished by the fowls and are we'll
qualified for place in the winter
ration. AS rule cabbages are sus-
pended in the poultry house with
pieces of twine which are fastened to
nails overhead. The mangel-wurzels
are usually split and stuck on nails
on the side walls of the pen about a
foot above the floor. the plan being
to provide the hens with just as much
of this juicy feed as they will clean
up with relish and without waste
Vegetables which have been frozen
can be thawed out and fed to the
fowls. but as rule such blem
ished materials must be used quick
ly, as they do not keep we'll after
thawing. Glover and alfalfa may be
fed as hay cut into one-quarter or
one-half inch lengths, or they may be
purchased and fed in the form of
meal.
Oats for sprouting are soaked over
night in warm water and then are
spread out from One-half to one inch
thick on specially arranged trays
having perforated bottoms, the trays
then being put into an oat sprouter.
The oats should be watered thor
oughly and the trays should be
turned around once daily in order to
assure even sprouting. During cold
weather artificial heat should be sup
piled by the use of kerosene lamp
or some similar means.
1t is essential to use a good grade
or oats and to allow daily a square
inch of sprouted oat surface to a hen
feeding the sprouted oats on the
floor of the poultry house or in the
yard. At any time after the sprouts
are we'll started--usually from five
to seven days after the grain is placed
in the sprouter-this green material
is available for feeding to the flock.
1t is necessary to keen the oat

sprouter clean and to spray it occa-
sionally with a disinfectant to pre-
vent the growth of molds
Potatoes and turnips are also sat
isfactory as winter feed for the
hens, although it is essential to cook
these root crops before they are suit
able for flock use. Glover may also
be cut into short lengths. from one
fourth to one-half an inch, and placed
in bucket Then boiling water
should be poured over the clover and
the material should be allowed to
stand for two to three hours or over
night
When the poultryman S ready to
feed this material to the flock he
should first drain off the water and
then mix the hay into the mash.
allowing the hay to constitute about
one-half the bulk of the feed.
Although clover hay is best adapted
for serving in this manner, almost
any kind of hay is valuable. The
feeder must be careful not to supply
too much bulky feed to the hens, as
these fowls have small crops and can
not handle great amount of rough
age as can cows and other animals
which ruminate their feed.
Grit is essential to the health of
the fowls and to economy in feeding.
as it takes the place of teeth in pre-
pairing the feed for further digestion.
and it is required for the proper
manipulation of the feed in the giz-
zard. box of grit should be pro-
vided in every pen or yard, as this
material is an essential part of the
menu. 1t supplies the fowls with
strong bone and bright plumage.
Similarly, the accessibility to oyster
shells or old mortar and fine gravel
are also desirable, as these materials
provide the hen with lime, from
which egg shells are formed.
Plenty of fresh water should
always be accessible to the hens. If
supplied irregularly they are likely
to drink too much at time. The
water should not be exposed to the
suns rays in summer, nor should it
be allowed to freeze in winter. In
very frosty weather it is often worth
while to supply the hens with slightly
warm water two or three times a day
rather than to permit them to drink
ice-cold water. A flock of so hens in
good laying condition will drink four
to SIX quarts of water day.
When properly fed, milk makes an
excellent winter feed for poultry. In
feeding sour milk or buttermilk. how
ever, the feeder must exercise care
not to induce digestive disorders.
Skim milk is an extremely economical
feed In Swimming. the food constit-
uents most valuable for egg produc-
tion-the heterogeneous substances

does skim milk contain much nutri-
tive material, but it also carries it in
a form which, as a rule. is easily
digested. Skim milk may often be
advantageously substituted in part
for meat. Milk may be used in pro-
pairing soft feed, or it may be given
to the fowls to drink in addition to
their water.

Two Hundred Members of
Garments Union Decide to
End Labor Tie-up Here.

With the assurance that their de-

members of the carmen's unions of
the Pennsylvania railroad, who have
been out on strike since last Friday,
voted to return to work, at meeting
held Tuesday afternoon at the Red
Mems hall. The men will return to
their work Wednesday morning at
$50 o'clock.
Before the meeting was held union
officials were assured by the master
mechanic of the Richmond shops, that
there would be no discrimination
against any Of the men, and that all
would be allowed to return to their
work, in the same manner as they
left.
Word was received from w. K. Car
ter, head of the labor department at
Washington, in answer to a telegram
sent by local union officials, which
gave the local workmen assurances
that all their demands would be taken
up Immediately.
Union officials here, it was under
stood, were advised that nothing could
be done by the government as long
as the men remained on strike.
All Strikers Return.
With the Richmond WOrkmen re
turning to work, practically all of the
striking shopmen on the Pennsylvania
systems west of Pittsburg have agreed
to return to their work, and the salts

The meeting at noon lasted little
more than an hour, and all of the men
were enthusiastic over the agreeable
settlement of the workmen's differ
ences.
Officials of the unions declared how
ever, that they would stand for nc
repetition of past practices on the
part of railroad officials, who, they
claim, have been disregarding govern
ment decisions. Unless the company
abides by the federal wage board s
, decisions, they will leave their work
again, they said.

Action On Profiteering
Needed To Check Unrest
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Monday, Aug. 11.-Sir
Auckland Geddes, in addressing the
House of Commons on the food bill
today. said that among the strong
reasons for checking profiteering was
it's responsibility for socialist unrest
and discomfort, and for cotinued in
flation of prices.
He explained that the government
had rejected the idea of internal con
troll of trade and also the ided sug'
gested in America of stamping goods
with factory prices and establishing
a system for fixing prices. He admit
ted that the government had no al
tentative but to confess it was power
less under the law as they stand at
present.
Sir Auckland declared that the pend
ing bill had not been hastily intro
duced but had been long and carefully
considered
