A recent communication from the
League for the Preservation OF Amerl-
can Independence, soliciting n subscrlp-
ton to help defeat the League OF Ma
tions Covenant, has depressed me beyond
words, for. although it fairly reeks with
dishonesty concerning the posslhie ell
feet of the proposed league upon Ameri-
can sovereignty and national life, ! lind
IT has the support OF some United STATES
Senators
These gentlemen say their sentiments
are American. They may bc. but hope
not They sound more German than
ANYTHING else in their inhumanity and
selfish nationalism- -undeniably they are
the sentiments of sclf-seoking politicians
the world over, who from time imme-
mortal have fostered international en-
nifty.
NV eldest sons life was forfeit IN this
war | search his letters IN vain for
evidence that he thought himself fight
ing for what these Senators represent.
He believed the only issue worth the
horrible struggle was international CO.
operation TO prevent future wars. To
advance this he WAS willing To make the
supreme sacrifice if need he.
Since the war began | have felt that
any peace that did not recognize the
transcendent Importance of international
cosoperation against belligcrency would
be meaningless My faith, however, was
always strong that peace terms dictated
by the Allies would make provision for
il, and now my sole consolation for the
loss of my son is that plan for n League
of Nations to carry out this great prin-
ciplc, marking an epoch IN mans history,

ROTH FINE FEATHERS AND EGGs.
There Is q widespread belief that
utility fowls have little class 50 far rs
showroom qualities are concerned, and
that exhibition stock is unproductIve. In
many instances this is true. Neverthe
less, il is possible 10 combine fine feathers
and eggs, and this Is the end toward
which many progressive poultryIncn arc
working with good results.
Production costs IN all lines Of in
dustry are mounting higher and higher.
Poultry culture IS no exception. The
quickest way TO remedy the situation
is TO obtain few more eggs from each
hen This can be accomplished by light
ing the poultry houses artihcally with the
view 10 prolonging the hens day.

in any other line OF business, demands
real business sense, an accurate idea Of
what the finished product has cost and
how that cost was obtained In the past
there has been too much g1esswork
Sharp changes in the cost Of labor and

have insured success. Keep accounts Of

Fowls are the most accommodating
creatures in the world, in that they will
live almost anywhere and under widely
varying conditions But they will not
thrive and be of benefit to their keeper
except under a regime Of cleanliness and
sanitation

exists Il will reduce the cost Of living

There are four ways of starting a
flock of chickens--frst, eggs for hatch
ing; second, day-old chicks; third, pen
of pullets, and fourth, mature stock.
Each way has its peculiar advantages;
the first two ways are the cheapest and
the most popular.
HArcHiNG EGGS REFLECT STAMINA.
There is no phase of poultry raising
which reflects the stamina and qualities
of flock of fowls. so accurately rs
the work of Matching their eggs. If
the birds are in good health and Wig
orous and the feeding and housing con-
diiions are as they should be, their
eggs will hatch well IL the birds arc
out of condition. as the result of care
less breeding iniudicious feeding, de
fective housing and the like. their eggs
will not produce satisfactory matches.
Successful incubation, whether natural
or artificial, depends largely on the
work which has gone before.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the first
step in incubation begins in the breed
ing pens. Now is the time TO look to
this work
The farmer has no Dctter Asset than
poultry, if only he would make the
most of his opportunity; secure good
stock, provide suitable quarters, feed
intelligently and market his products
promptly.
Spring is the poultrymans busiest

laying; it is the time to mate breeding
pens; IL is Matching time and brooding
time; also it is planting time. II the
