The artificial method Of brooding
chickens consists of supplying artifi-
cially heat as nearly. as possible like
that furnished by the hen under natu
raj conditions. The temperature of
a hen is about 106 degrees F., but as
hens seldom sit closely on chickens
the latter do not receive this degree
Of heat. Hens adapt their methods
Of brooding to conditions such as out
side temperature, size of the chick
ems, and wet weather, and the oper-
ator of an artificial brooder must
meet these conditions as nearly as he
can. Some of the most important
faults in the management of breeders
are overcrowding and lack of ventila-
ton and the failure of chickens to
get sufficient exercise. The brooder
should supply the proper tempera-
ture, be readily adapted to meet the
changes in weather conditions be easy
to clean, and be we'll ventilated.
Chickens are usually left in the in
cubator from "a to SO hours after
Matching, without feeding, before
they are removed to the brooder,
which should have been in operation
for three or four days at the proper
temperature for receiving chickens.
A beginner, says the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture should try
this brooding system carefully be-
fore he uses it. After being placed in
the brooder the chickens can be given
feed and water. Subsequent loss in
chickens is frequently due to chilling
received while taking them from the
incubator to the brooder. In cool or
cold weather they should be moved in
g covered basket or other receptacle.
Brooder houses should have from
one-half to inches of sand, dry dirt
cut clover, or chaff spread over the
floor and in the brooder pen. The
hovers should be cleaned frequently,
as cleanliness is essential in raising
chickens successfully.
When chickens are first put into
the brooder they should be confined
under or around the hover by placing
a board or wire frame a few inches
outside. The fence or guard should
be moved farther and farther away
from the hover and discared entire
ly when the chickens are 3 or days
old or when they have learned to re-
turn to the source of the heat. Young
chickens should be closely watched to
see that they do not huddle or get
chilled. They should be allowed TO
run on the ground whenever the
weather is favorable, as they do much
better than when kept continuously
on cement or board floors.

Ordinarily the castration of young
pigs is a simple operation and one
which many farmers know how to
perform. There are precautions to
observe however, in sanitation and in
the case of certain conditions, such as
rupture which should be given more
careful consideration than is ordi-
narily done, if the best results are to
be had. The hardness Of these ami
mails and their ability usually to
withstand such operations favorably
often leads the hog grower to consid-
er the operation of castration as one
requiring no particular care.
In order that young pigs will con-

CHAPTER XXW
Thrilling plans

tn HE news that Gail Martin was an
heiress spread like wiIdfire through
Dalesburg. In a town of such a size
$4,000 was a great deal of money, and many
were the conjectures as to what would hap
pen next
I'll bet George Hartley is sick! I'll wa
ger he wishes he'd never seen that city girl ="
were some of the comments passed. And
then, close upon the heels of the first bit of
news came the second and choice morsel.
Gail Martin was going to take every cent of
the money and go to the city. Buddy did his
share of spreading this about town, and
hands in his pockets, he boosted proudly to
all his cronies
Yes. sir; she's going to spend every cent.
Pas mad as hornet. He went down to see
Mr.. Ames about it, but Mr.. Ames says there
isn't any one who do a thing about it.
Calls of age, and it's her money. She
spend it, or put it in the bank, just as she
likes, and she's going to spend it,"
These were proud days for Buddy. He
had never been so important for not only
did his own gang listen respectfully to every
thing he had to say, but he was forced to
answer the questions of older people, and it
was possible for him to boast as much as he
liked.
AS for Gail she began deliberately to plan
her future. With the knowledge that she
was no longer dependent and helpless. she
was able to think clearly for the first time
since she had realized that George had
ceased 10 care. For a time she had been
swamped with misery, but now, at last she
was able to lift up her head again, and the
more she thought about it the more she real
lied that the loss of George had not mattered
so much to her as the humiliation of being
Tilted.
At first this knowledge shocked her. She
stood aghast before it. She had loved George
for so long, she had dreamed for two years
of being his wife, and to find
herself facing the fact that she no
longer cared for him was unbelievable
She felt almost as if she had never really
known herself, and certainly there had
sprung up in her certain hardness that had
never manifested itself in her nature. This
hardness enabled her to match her will
against her fathers, to refuse to allow him
to intimidate her And yet Gail was not
really hard for toward her mother she had
never been 50 sweet and understanding, and
between the two there a bond that had
never been present before.
Gail was young enough to have one idea
firmly fixed in her mind. She believed that
she had lost George to Fay because of Fays
sophisticatiOn her charm. her womau-of-the-
world manner. Gail intended. once she was
free, 10 cultivate everything that had made
Fay so irresistible. She too, would be So
phistcated; she, too, would wear ultra-smart
frocks and develop a personality.
Girls who live in small towns have no
chance to develop personality and charm"
she said to herself over and over. It's as
though they were all cut from the same holt
of cloth, and what can they do about it
unless they get "A chance to escape?"
strangely enough. Gail felt no fear at

OF his countrymen understands the political,
the ethical and Intellectual significance of
the war policy of modern England. He knew
the risks well as the possibilities of war
with Germany. He has seen the difficulties
that followed the armistice. He visualized
the gospel of hate, and he knows that Brit
ish interests remain in slippery places.
Ireland has borne a great deal where
might made right, and Lloyd George predicts
another war. His late visit to the United
States serene the face of it, but he
would like to be certain that the United
States will again be managed by another
president with British predictions and
prone to fattery the handspring of his
activities and his weakness. The coming
Chat which Lloyd George expects to
arrive) will not be allied with France be-
cause the French are attempting to monopo-
lie all the German interests, and French
authorities have their hands full with
continual with Germany. Germany Is
slowly getting on her feet, industrially. The
kaiser is permitted to sleep and eat in
peace and the Queen of Holland promised
to shelter him, and does it, His days and
nights are undisturbed. He has abdicated
the throne and bought such peace as he has
by abdication. He had his fling, so to speak
in Bsmarck's time. He was amazingly for
tunate that he did not pay the fearful price
with his life in the Worlds war 1t is en-
tirely improbable that England has any de-
sire to interrupt or annoy Kaiser William,
the cousin of King George.
The coming will operate nearer
home, to Lloyd George perhaps, or Japan
may feel inclined to regulate China or Rus
STA. We shall know it when it arrives-or
read about it in the papers.
God pity us if we allow this republic to
be entangled with England, France or Ger
many again. In my humble opinion we
never had any call to send American soldiers
to protect English throne Belgian
throne or an Italian throne, with a fool idea
of making those countries "safe for democ-
racy." At no time, in no place. in no COM
pany and with no League or World Court
had we the call to "butt I'M and attempt to
pet three thrones or punish any other throne
on the eastern continent. We were unwise
to do so.
Fifty years from now the facts OF history
Will be set down without fear favor Of
any man, set of men, company or corpora
ton, on either continent-the real truth
At the present time we have correct in
formation as to what the Worlds war did
for America. 1t called forth all the sinister
and all-powerful forces that lie back in ev-
cry war program. We exchanged all the
new, inspiring, progressive and satisfying
values in the everyday life in the United
States for the weller of a bloody conflict in
Europe, which has set back this country
fifty years. 1t was a fearful holocaust. We
forgot the true destiny of a government
by the people, for all the people. Heaven
save us from another worlds war!

HON. LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
IN EITROPE'
"MORE WAR


" ROM what can be gathered from pub
II lished reports, Europe is going by
leaps and bounds into another war pc
riod. Hon. Lloyd George is certainly cogni-
zant of the condition of European countries
He may have issued warning of approach
ing trouble, in the hope that the populace
might stop and think in time to scotch the
rush dOWnWards.
There is in the United States an evident
determination to make the League of Ma
tions again a vital issue, and the demorali-
cation which always ravages any nation
which is coerced into bloody strife, makes
the war issue uncertain to results, and
dangerous to us.
To one who lived through the Civil war
and who saw the facility as we'll as the "a
pidty by which civil war can be made to
function between people of the same race
and color, and between everyday citizens of
republic, will always understand that war
can be predicted and war can run over all
prudence, common sense, and everything
else that hinders the onruSh, when people
indulge in hate and are seeking revenge for
supposed INJURIES and determined to rule or
ruin.
My mind was old enough to be active dur
ing the Hateful year of 1860. l read the
history Of current events in the newspapers;
[ heard blood and thunder speeches on
Southern rights and of slavery as an instttu-
ton ordained of God and guaranteed by the
constitution; but when South Carolina Sc
C0ueQ from the union on december ~, 1850,
L was thunderstruck at the rashness of our
Southern neighbor and filled with alarm as
to the future of the republic. Afterwards
there was mad rush.
There one in the South more at
tached to her native soil and people than
myself but my heart sunk within ME when
Georgia met in state convention and was
showed, also, out of the union, within thirty
six hours, and before the people at home had
heard what had been said or done during
that limited period. | stood in my back
yard to listen to the cannon that were firing
in Rome to celebrate the passage of seces-
sion, with a shrinking heart, and prayed God
in deep humility to watch over the innocent
and the helpless.
All this goes to show that war recognizes
no limit or boundary when human passion
gets the uppermost Of the leaders of human
kind, when blood lust assumes violent con-
troll of the situation, and hate parayzes the
mind, also the judgment, of the very turbu-
lent.
England is crowded with the unemployed
at this time. Never since Cromwells time
has the throne been in such jeopardy as it is
today. In Cromwells time Charles l. lost

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

was quite Wei aware that having taken it,
she could not expect to turn back If she
did not make good. if happiness lid not come
TO her, she would have only herself to blame
and, Of course, she was taking a big chance;
she was stalking everything she had on the
future.
Once Gail had read in the Daesburg Press
an editorial copied from one Of the big met
ropOlitan papers. This editorial had for it's
theme the old idea of nothing venture, moth

Clean gambling makes for progress the
editorial had said; "Ony be sure never to

own

soned. and on that point she was certainly
right.

Learning By Living Through
BY DR.. Frank Crane
tn HERE are several ways OF learning
things, but the best way is to live
through them

things, but the best way is to live
through them.
Speaking of the race or the commonality
of mankind, that is about the only effective
way it learns anything.
What a vast deal of things the human
species has lived through!
There is the fear of the unknown, such as
the dread Of God, of death and the forces OF
nature What ages it took to live through
these things and discover how to adjust our
selves to them
There is the divine right of kings. The
king way is of course the simplest and most
obvious way of maintaining order. 1t had
every reason in its favor except the fact that
it will not work. 1t is all right for the kings
and their favorites, but 1t is poor business
for the people.
There is the idea that some people are
born to toll and others to play. What gem
eratlons of slavery and tyranny and unjust
privilege we have had to go through to get
that poison out of our consciousness. And
1t is not entirely out yet.
And about the only way we are going to
learn the truth about war is to live through
1t. Heaven knows it would seem as if we
had lived through enough wars. But we
maven t. After the last war, most horrible
of all wars, the nations all skunk back into
the same old rotten system which automatic
ally produces war, and discarded all those
leaders that would change the system. The
nation myth still holds.
Then there is the idea that plaques and
pestllences are Divine punishment to be
avoided by prayer instead of by cleaning up.
What hectacombs of human corpses had to
be piled up before we got rid of that notion.
And what is true of the race is also true
OF the individual Every generation of young
TOOLS nave to try out old experiments of folly,
Ihey have to live through the same fatuous
ldlocy as their forefathers lived through be-
fore them.
A boy has to live through puppy love and
selt-conce1t as he lives through the measles
so 1t is only the centuries, by a slow cos
mic process, that can teach humanity what is
worth while.
rms seems very long and tedious waste
Iul and expensive process. But it is natures
way, and perhaps nature knows her business
VI course any one of US could tell the
world exactly what to do in order to brin
ABOUT the Millennium tomorrow
BUT nature insists on growing things She

human race to grasp an idea

just beginning to understand what it means

N Monitor, signing by initials only, ha
given very lucid exposition Of tn
pro and con in the case Of ia
exempt securities and some statistics tina
will prove of interest:
''The situation OF vast amount OF
tax-free securities in circulation has
arisen with comparative suddenness. In
1917 tax emempts' composed only 1926
per cent Of that part of million-dollar
estates comprised in stocks and bonds;
in 1920, according to the Internal
Revenue bureau, they comprised 145
per cent; in 1923, 41.9S per cent. Not
long ago, in the accounting OF the Will
liam Rockefeller estate, only $1,000
900 was found in Standard oil securi-
ties, while more than $44,O00,O0O was
in tax-exempt bonds
*
'.Non-taxable securities never proved
troublesome nor were they purchased
or issued in large numbers, till the i'm
position Of the graduated income tax,
which is Of comparatively recent origin.
Before then the taX-eXempt privilege
meant about the same to everybody,
because the same tax was imposed uni
formly over the nation. But with a
graduated tax people suddenly discov-
cred that, the richer you are, the
heavier was your tax, and consequent
ly the more you gained by investing
in tax-free bonds.
For example, to man with $780,
600 income today (taxed at SIS per
cent? the tax-exempt privilege on a
$1,000 bond at per cent is worth
over $50; to man of moderate In
come it Is worth only a few dollars,
while poor man cannot afford to buy
bond at such low interest at all
The same bond therefore, means more
to one man than to another, RESPECTS
class distinctions, and, as has been
said, creates a 'tax-exempt aristocracv
out OF the wealthiest part of the COM
munity.'
asked why the straightforward
words OF the Sixteenth amendment,
that congress shall have the power to
levy and collect incomes from what
what they say, and give congress the
right OF taxing state tax-free securi-
ties, 1t Is answered by certain legal
authorities that the Sixteenth amend
ment was passed for one particular OBJ
1ect, to legalize the income tax, and
that, that object having been obtain
ed, the amendment does not alter prior
legal precedents. Opinion of the SUI
preme court appears to tend to this
view

prevent the enemy carrying away the guns.
French cavalry is on your left" The Light
Brigade advanced straight to its front and
