AMER|CANS HAD NARROW
ESCAPE WHEN BRITISH
AND GREEK TROOPS MET

Constantinople, Aug. 1S.-Many
Americans have had narrow escapes in
the fighting which British and Greek
troops have kept up for several weeks
with the bandits which are harrass-
ing the eastern shore of the Bosphorus
Beikos "a summer place 10 miles north
of this city reached by hourly ferry
service, has been the chief center
Of the fights between bands of ad-
herents of Mustapha Kennel Pasha,
national leader, and the BritishGreek
soldiers operating under the artii-
lerry protection Of British warships.
An American oil company is erect.
ing two great steel tanks at Beikos
which came well within the line OF
fire between the rival forces. The
steel riveters were compelled to flee
for their lives and for several days
bullets played atattoo on the tanks
which was nearly as constant as the
tune OF the riveting machines. Many
Americans were in summer camps and
cottages in the vicinity Of Keikos the
night the fighting began. but they
speedily moved TO the western shore
of the Bosphorus, where it was pos
sible for several nights to watch the
fighting on the Anatolian hills by the
light Of the naval rockets and search
lights used in directing the gunnery.
Robert College and Constantinople
College for Women, the two Amerl'
can institutions for higher learning
on the Bosphorus, both commanded
an excellent view of the struggle and
were safely out of range of the na>
,ionalist bullets.
Professor f. w. Kelsey of the Uni
vcrsi,y of Michigan, was prevented by
the fighting in Anatola from making
a survey Of the famous battlefiells
Of Caesar south Of Samsoun. Pro
fessor Kelsey has been in Turkey for
many weeks investigating old manu-.
scripts and studying ruins Of the Ro
man civilization. He hoped TO make
the trip from Samsoun to Zile. about
which one Of Caesars best known cam
paigns was waged and had made
all arrangements for motor transpor
tation. But the unsettled political
conditions and the activities Of the
various bands forced him to abandon

BUILD HEN HOUSE IN SPRING
Building Then viii Have Chance TO
Dry Out During Hot Days
Avoid Danger OF Colds.

The best time to build a poultry
house is in the spring or early sum-
mer, for then it will have time to dry
out during the hot days. Lumber is
often rather damp and it must be
thoroughly dried out before winter or
the birds housed in the building will
be in danger Of contracting colds, says
the United States department of agri-
culture. Cement floors and founda-
ton walls, if made in the spring, will
also have an opportunity to dry thor
Oughly, and most of the dampness
often attributed to them will be
avoided.
Spring or early summer is the busy
time on the farm. so those who fore
see the need of new poultry houses
next winter will do well to build them
during the slack time this winter be-
fore spring work starts. Do not put
the birds into the new building, how
ever, until it has been dried out.

SAFEGUARDING SHEEP FLOCK
Large Number OF Animals Lost Each
Year From Some Prevent
able Disorder.

Thousands upon thousands of sheep
die each year from a great variety of
preventable causes. The killer dog
is not the chief cause Of loss. He may
cause perhaps per cent of the deaths
due to accidental causes, but the most
serious losses are attributable to igno-
rance and carelesSness upon the part
Of the owner or his shepherd. Among
the chief causes Of loss may be men,
toned lack Of shelter for Iambing
ewes and their newborn lambs. A sud-
den snow or rain storm coming at
Iambing time often finds ewes and
lambs exposed, and many deaths re-
suit.

many of them have again announced
that they will label all seed they sell.
Practically all large seed houses
now have facilities for testing the
quality of all lots Of seeds that they
buy and sell. They have, therefore.
the information that the farmer needs,
and he should insist upon being given
this information when he buys seeds.
Few farmers are willing to buy low
grade seed, containing much chaff,
dirt, weed seeds, and dead Seeds-if
they know how poor it is. The deal
er, however, almost invariably makes
his largest profit on the lower grade
of seed he sells and IS not always will
ing to put on a truthful label. The
farmers protection lies In buying only
labeled seeds.
Farmer May Protect Himself.
The farmer, however, may do a
great deal toward protecting himself
by testing seeds at home. Testing
Seed in the Home and in the Rural
School," published by the United
States department of agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 426, discusses the
subject in detail. 1t viii be furnished
free on request.
All kinds of farm seeds may be sub
jected to one kind of test or another,
but the seeds of the crops in most
general use and which it is especially
desirable to have tested are the true
clovers, such as red, aIsike, and GRIM
son; alfalfa such grasses as timothy.
orchard grass, and the millets; CO
reals, rape. fax, vetch, and corn. Much
Of the seed Of these crops, except ce-
reals and corn, is imported and widely
variable grades are on the market.
Just now a great deal of clover seed
is being imported from Italy, and
specialists believe that much of it
is poorly adapted to American oondi-
tons. The prevalence OF foreign
grown seed in the market is probably
not generally recognized. but 1t is one
Of the important elements in making
testing necessary.

the coastal plains of the South. unless
the soils are much affected by drought,
continue the experts, carpet grass sup
