POLES SEND PEACE
TERMS TO MOSCOW

Warsaw, Aug. Try a. P.)--
Essentials of the terms of peace Poland
would agree to were set forth in the
note sent by wireless to Moscow Thurs
day night accepting the Soviet pro-
posal to send delegates to Minsk to ne :
gotiate simultaneously an armistice and
peace.
The note declared Poland was com
PEELED, however, to demand formal
guarantees that the Polish delegates
would be permitted free and direct com
munication with the Polish Government
by wireless and couriers. The govern
ment also said that because the Soviet
had previously refused to negotiate an
armistice. hostilities should now cease
on both sides from the moment of the
beginning of the negotiations at Minsk.
The Poles. continued the note. were
ready to conclude peace on the principle
OF national rights, and would try foi
such a solution of all questions as would
guarantee future peace and friendly re-
lations between Russia and her neigh
bOrs.
The note stated Poland could not &C
cept any terms that would be an at
tack on her sovereign rights or inter
fere with her internal affairs, and she
asked an answer that would be the
basis for future pence terms.
The note added that the fact that the
first armistice negotiations were broken
of because the Polish delegates were
empowered to negotiate only an armi.
stice and not peace, compelled the
government to conclude that the Soviet
would make an effort to continue mill
tary operations, and that, therefore
the Russians must take all responai
bility for the continuance of hostilities
The Polish Government was making
every effort to win the war, the note
asserted.

Russo Polish fronts, which later events
proved to be correct.
According to it's correspondent in

about an armistice.

WHY HOGS EAT CHICKENS

A reader has a good SOW that kills
and eats chickens. He asks, "What
can | do for her and what makes her
eat chickens?
Little can be done for such a SOW,
except to keep her and the chickens
separated There is probably no prac-
tieable way oil breaking a SOW of this
bad habit.
The hog eats chickens because Of
two conditions First, She is more
likely to eat chickens if not fed
balanced ration If in dry lot with
out green feed and without sufficient
protein and mineral matter she is
much more likely to eat her first
chicken if one gets in the trough
while she is feeding Also If dead
chicken is found by hog or if one is
thrown into her lot she is very likely
to eat it, especially If she is not get
ting full supply of those materials
which her body Graves and must have
to maintain health.
A hog getting green feed and milk
or tankage is not likely to begin to
attack, kill and eat live chickens, but
even a well-fed hog is likely to eat
chicken found dead in the lot But
faulty feeding is probably not the
only reason why hogs form the habit
of eating chickens. They eat chick
ems because of their natural desire
for animal matter and once having
tasted chicken flesh thew continue to
eat it because they like it.
When young chickens are allowed
TO eat from the same trough with the
hogs, some of the hogs are quite
likely to form the habit Of chicken
eating sooner or later.
To prevent the formation Of this
bad habit, give the hogs green stuff,
animal protein and plenty Of charcoal
and acid phosphate And keep the
hogs and chickens. especially the
young chickens and brood sows sep
arated as far as possible -
