SAYS KINCSHIP NOT
OFFERED BONAPARTE

New York, Dec. nc. A. Chekre-
ii, Albanian commissioner to the u,
s. today issued statement denying
that his country was ''in the market
for king" or that the throne had
been offered to Jerome Napoleon
Bonaparte, OF this city.
Referring to reports published
yesterday, that the offer had been
made to the great-grand-nepnew of
Napoleon by Commissioners of the
Albanian government" M. Chekrezi
said:
"Being the only commissioner of
the Albanian government IN the
United States, wish to state most
emphatically that neither nor any
one, as far as know, has ever been
commissioned by the government of
Albania, or by its regency council or
by its parliament or by any party to
open any negotiations or make an Of
fer of the crown of Albania to any
one.
1.-THE further report that the swift
election Of a king is desirable in or
der to prevent the impending return
to Albania by airplane of the former
ruler of the country, Prince William
of Wfed, is equally baseless, as also
is the report that the Albanian par
lament had decided to proclaim AL
bania a kingdom.
aside from the fact that the pres
ent parliament has never made any
such decision. it has, moreover, no
authority to deal with the question
of changing the present form of gov
eminent, which is left to the decision
of the constituent assembly. which
will draw the constitution of the coun-
try. But even the eonvocation of this
assembly is uncertain at present.
In conclusion, ! will say that the
whole report is a 'canard American,
intended to boost a certain reporter.

Consider Farm Features In Summing
Up' Business

Hasty conclusions should be avoid
ed in making use of the result Of the
years cost accounts for improving
the organization of the farm, warns.
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture. All good farmers know
that sometimes a positive decrease in
profits may ensue If an enterprise be
dropped because, taken alone, II has
failed to pay. Cows, for instance,
may not show a net profit, but If all
the cows were sold there might be no
other way of using the roughage,
which would become a dead loss. La
Dor devoted night and morning to
milking and feeding COWS, and charg-
ed to them, would be entirely lost if
the cows were sold and nothing sup
piled to fill in the time. Thus an add
ed burden for the maintenance of la
Dor would have to be borne by the
other enterprises.
The fact that the hogs or the corn
crop bring in the most net money dur
ing the season is no reason for assum-
ing that all the activities of the farm
in the future should be devoted sole
ly to hogs or corn; II may be that
the keeping of cows is partly RESPONSE
BILE for making the hogs so profita-
BILE, or that the growing of wheat,
clover, or other crops in rotation with
corn makes the latter crop much more
profitable than it would have been if
grown alone.
Similar. conditions will be met with
on all farms and, therefore, no sud-
den changes should be made on the
basis of what a-single years accounts
may indicate. All angles of the en-
terprise should be taken into con-
sideratiOn.

ings we're planned for one type OF
farming. and that having been dis
continued and another taken up, they
are not suited to the particular kind
of farming now practiced. Frequent
ly, however, alterations can be made
that will improve the arrangement
in many respects, but then, again, con-
ditions may be such that this can
not be done.
Additional factors to be consider
ed in buying a farm are discussed Ia

butterfat basis cannot afford to buy
grain and in order to feed cows
economically. must use those raised
on their farms.
A ration which has given good re-
suits in feeding trials and one that
can be mixed easily at home is com
posed of 500 pounds of ship stuff, 500
pounds of hominy meal, corn meal or
cracked corn and 400 pounds Of cot
tonseed meal. Oil meal can be sub
stituted for the cottonseed meal or
100 pounds of each may be used.
Many successful feeders eliminate
the difficulty Of mixing the feeds by
emptying a few bags Of each into
separate feed boxes and then using
a measure holding about two pounds
of feed. In this way, the quantity Of
each ingredient can be measured as
the COW is fed.

Breeding Ducks should Be Pick OF

Breeding Ducks Should Be Pick OF
The Flock.
Ducks are usually mated in .flocks
Of about 80 females with 5 or 6
males. as the brakes do not fight one
another. The number of males may
be reduced to l for every z females
about the first of March and
again changed month later to l.
male for to 10 females.
Active, healthy females of medium
size should be used for breeding; that
is, weighing about pounds when
mature. Only mature birds should
be used as breeders. Select ducks with
short necks, medium long bodies,
flat backs, and of good depth to the,
keel bones. Watery eyes usually are
a sign of weakness in ducks. The
drake is coarser and more masculine
in appearance than the duck, and
has a distinct curl in his tail feathers.
Ducks should be sold, usually, after
they are years old, although the
best breeders or layers may be kept
over their third year, say poultry spe-
cialists in the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture.
In handling ducks pick them up by
their necks, as their legs are very
easily broken. Ducks lay their eggs
early in the morning, and should be
confined to the house or pen until
$3.50 or later in the morning. If al
lowed to roam early in the morning
they may lay in pond or stream and
the eggs may be lost.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing. and when II is entirely
closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless the
infa mmation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces OF the

Blasting Most Effective When Soil Is
Wet or Stiff.

In blasting stumps the nature of
the soil is one of the important fac
tors that must be considered in fix
ing the size of the charge. The more
resistance the soil offers to the force
OF the explosion the greater will be
the force exerted againststhe stump.
Hence, the United States Department
of Agriculture points out, stumps in
lose. sandy soils must be more heavi-
iy loaded than those in firm, stiff
soils. 1t is generally agreed that So
called high speed explosives give bet
ter results in sandy soils than Go low
per centage dynamites or stumping
powders.
Since water can not be compressed
its presence in the pores or open
spaces in loose soils adds something
to the resistance that is offered to
the explosive force and thus makes
the explosion somewhat more effec-
tive. 1t follows that, especially in
sandy soils, better results will be OBJ
tanned in blasting stumps when the
ground is wet then when it, is dry. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
moist soil in this connection refers to
soil near the charge q or feet un-
foreground. not surface soil.

Alfalfa Tea Not Recommended For
Feeding Young Animals

Feeding Young Animals
Alfalfa tea, made by pouring boil
ing water on hay and allowing II to
steep for a few hours, or by stirring
alfalfa meal into cool water and
straining the mixture after several
hours, has been highly recommended
from time to time for feeding young
animals, but the evidence reviewed by
the u. s. Department of Agriculture
does not show any great advantage

liquor. Some. experiment stations
have found that pigs made better
gains when corn meal and middlings
we're mixed with alfalfa tea rather
than water, but the additional gains
were hardly enough to pay for the
increased expense. Calves fed alfal-
"a tea made poor gains and suffered
much from scours. On the whole, the
practice of making this tea for live
stock should be discouraged, says the
department

IT'S Easier to Prevent Than To Cure
Bad Habits.

lions regarding rations. She should
be removed to a place wnere her ex-
ample will have no effect on her sis
ters, or she should have her head cut
off, for the habit is practically in
durable. Poultrymen Of the United
States Department of Agriculture say
It can be prevented by taking proper
precautions.
Eating eggs begins usually when an
egg has been broken in the nest, or
when it has been cracked by freez-
ing and then thawed out. Keeping the
nests well supplied with straw or 9TH
err nesting material will reduce the
danger of breakage, and darkening
them will reduce the chances of brok-
en- eggs being found by the hens. 1t
is a good idea to gather the eggs
twice a day in cold weather so that
none will be frozen.
Hens that are not properly fed will
have a ravenous appetite for eggs,
both the shells and the contents, so
that providing a well-balanced ration
is some insurance against the devel-
opment of the habit. In winter there
is particular danger that some lack in
the feed will develop am abnormal

such as meat scraps, and lime in the
form of oyster shells or bone, should
be taken to provide it.
Another bad habit enjoyed by these
dietetic bolshevists is feather pluck
ing from themselves or from other |
members of the flock. Improper feed
ing. insect pests, and too close con-
finement are the usual causes for
starting this habit. But it is not so
hard to cure as egg eating. A plen-
