When first America uprose
And flung defiance at her foes.
No laggards Wcrn the Irish then
IN purse or purpose, means or men.
Nor slow to Join tho battle they
Their weapons flashed in every frav.
And everywhere her banner blew
They closed around it staunch and true
And whereso'er her veins outpoured
Their life-stream for the cause adored
Commingling in that sacred flood
Was Ireland S best and noblest blood.
And ever since in all our wars.
Wherever cleaned the Stripes and
Stars.
The loyal Irish, heart and hand.
Have fought for this beloved land.
So, in the springtime of the year
When Patrick 5 Day again is here.

The spray of Ireland shamrock rests.

The tears for Ireland s sorrows rise.

As, smiling in her state serene.

Good to Help in Politics.
ROANOKE, Va, March 17.-Declar
ing that the Republican party stands
first for, ",the honest efficient, and ec-
onomical business administration of
the country S affairs, ''Will H. Hays.
chairman of the Republican national
committee. in an address before the
state Republican convention here today.
pleaded for, "patriotism in peace as
well as war and asserted that, the
country has, slipped along under this
Democratic administration, without any
adequate thought of the problems that
would confront us until the shock of
peace was here, just as we did before
we entered the war;

BIC FACTORS IN
TRAINING COLTS
Future Value and Usefulness De-
pend Greatly on Manage
ment While Young.
FIRST GET HIS ATTENTION
Education Of Horse 10 Based on Re-
ward and Punishment-Many AMI
mails Made Vicious and unreli-
able by careiessness.

The breaking and training of colts. is
OF prime Importance, because their fu-
ture value and usefulness depend to a
great extent on whether or not they
are well broken. BY broken colt Is
meant one that Is safe to handle In the
stable or on the road and that will
promptly obey the orders Of the driver
or rider.
Memory and habit are the two main
factors with which we have to deal In
training horses. A horse acts through
instinct and habit. and one Of its great
est characteristics is uniformity Of
conduct. What a horse Is once trained
to do he will nearly always do under
like conditions.
Education Of Horse.
The first thing in training horse Is
to get his attention. The second is to
make him understand what Is wanted.
The education of the horse is based
on reward and punishment. The re-
ward, pat on the neck. ETC., should
Immediately follow the act Of obedi-
ence. The punishment, to be effective,
must Immediately follow the act of
disobedlence.
Few horses are inherently vicious.
Many horses are made vicious and I'M
reliable by the careessness or unnec-
essary brutality Of their trainers. If
horse kicks because the harness
hurts him, or SHES at something Of
which he Is afraid, punishment is not
justifiable. If, however, after being
stopped, horse starts before receiv-
ing the command to do so, he should
be punished. Horses are naturally
Obedient and when thoroughly trained
their conduct is uniformly good.
Best Training Of Horse.
A horse should be trained so that he
thinks there is no limit to his power to
do the things required of him, and be-
ileves that he has no power to do that
which is against the wishes Of his
driver. Above all. never ask of a

CapOnizing the surplus cockerels is
growing In favor with poultrymen and
some farmers in this industry, for the

1t is impossible to say just how long

however. that the practice was famll-
lar to the Chinese more than 1000
years ago. Later 1t was practiced by
the Greeks and Romans and through
medieval times by the people of mid
die and southern Europe. In recent
years 1t was introduced into America.
At present capons are most universal
ly known and appreciated in France,
although the business of producing
themhas advanced gradually in Amer
lea. This industry is most important
In that portion Of the United States
east of Philadelphia. though increas-
ing numbers Of capons are being raised
in the middle western states on gen.
eral farms.
In selecting the breed best suited
for caponizing several factors must be
taken into consideration. Large capons
bring the best prices. Consequently,
the breed should be large. 1t does not
pay to caponize small fowls. poultry
experts of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say. Yellow legs
and skin, as in other classes Of poul-
try, are most popular. The Plymouth
Rocks, Light Brahmas, Cochins, In
dian Games, Langshans. and Wyan-
dottes are all recommended by differ
ent producers, as are also various
crosses of these. The Orpington also
makes fine capons, but the white legs
and skin are somewhat of disadvan-
tage in this country.
Best Price In Winter.
In so far as the effects of the opera
ton and the rapidity and ease of heal
ing are concerned, the time of year
when the operation is performed is of
little Importance. The capons seem
to recover well at any time. Certain
other considerations, however, infiu-
ence the time. The age and size Of the
cockerel are very important. AS soon
as the cockerels weigh one and one
half pounds, or when two to four

KITCHEN WASTE GOOD
FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Converted Into Wholesome and
Nutritious Food.
Not Only Helps In Reducing Cost OF
Living, but Furnishes Eggs OF
Quality and Freshness Dir
ficuIt to Obtain.

In every household. no matter how
eeonomicalC the housewife. there is a
certain amount of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding
value, but which. IL not fed. finds Its
way into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class Of domes-
tic animals suitable for converting
this waste material, right where 1t is
produced in the city. into wholesome
and nutritious food I'm the form OF
eggs and poultry meat.
Each hen in her pullet year should
produce ten dozen eggs, poultry spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say. The average
size of the backyard flock should be
at least ten hens. Thus, each flock
would produce in year 100 dozen OF
eggs, which, at the conservative value
of 35 cents a dozen. would be worth
$35.
BY keeping backyard poultry flock
the family would not only help In re-
ducing the cost Of living but would
have eggs Of a quality and freshness
often otherwise difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced by
the backyard flock cost very little, as
the fowls are fed largely upon waste
materials.

directions. For several months after

each feeder finds most profitable and

other poultry. variety nsist be given
for best results. Late in the fall,
when the capons have no pasture,
green feed, such as cut clover or vega
etables, should be provided. A some
what more fattening ration than that
required for laying hens seems to give
good results.
Free Range Desirable.
AS capons are not usually marketed
before Christmas, or the first of jan
uary, they have to be housed during
late fall and early winter. Because Of
their quiet disposition they stand
crowding quite well, and have been
successfully housed with only two or
three square feet of floor space to a
fowl. Free range for capons, however,
is very desirable, as 1t promotes their
continuous, rapid. and economical
growth. The cost Of rearing capons to
ten months of age is big item with
present high feed prices, unless good
range is available.
During the last month and a half

ration. For the last two or three
