rived at West Point in March, 177S, and laid out
additional forts to protect West Point which
then controlled the principal line of communlca-
tion from New England to the central and the
southern colonies, In the British should
send an expedtionary force from New York. He
also strengthened the existing defenses. So much
general satisfaction was there with Koscluszko's
work, that Washington In a dispatch says ITO
his care and sedulous appreciation the American
people indebted for the defenses of West
Point" 1t was this Polish soldier who urged that
West Point be chosen when 1t was later decided
to found a training school for American youth.
He spent two of the six years he was in this
country at West Point, where monument was
erected in his memory in 1923.
Kosciuszkos next service was in the Carolinas
campaign with General Greene and it is said
that Greene's escape from CORVALLIS during his
memorable retreat was due largely to the work
of the Polish officer in constructing pontoon
bridges which allowed Greene's army to cross
rivers before the British could overtake 1t.
The close of the Revolution found Kosciuszko
brigadier-general and member of the Society
of the Cincinnati. By vote of congress American
citizenship was conferred upon him In October,
1888, and he was granted 500 acres of land on
the Scioto river in Perry county, Ohio which

Poland, under a new constitution became linn

Invidious class distinctions were done away with.
But the new constitution could not stand
against the old confederation. Polish territory
was desirable corridor for surrounding powers
The little Polish army under Kosciuszko and
Prince Joseph Ponatowski did what it could For
three months it kept back all invaders But
King Stanislaus II of Poland, doubtful of Sue
cess acceded to the demands of the confedera-
tion. Poland was again parceled out to her neigh
bors and reduced to one-third her original di-
mensions.
Undismayed, Koscuszko and his followers
withdrew to Leipsic. There they laid their plans
for another battle. In this encounter they were
partly victorious, recovering considerable lost
territory. But the game of war against an enemy

Range Best Place for
the Health of Pullets

The range is still one of the best
places for the growing Of sturdy,
healthy pullets, in the opinion of
Prof. w. G. Thompson, poultry hus-
bandman at the New Jersey agri-
cultural experiment station. Fresh
air, sunshine, protection from ex-
cessive heat, green food and work
ing space are essential to the eff
cient development of good poultry,
while overcrowding of the ranges
is the most frequent cause of trou-
BILE.
The desirable conditions can be
provided on farms where not more
than 800 pullets need be ranged
on an acre and rotation of crops
practiced. Colony houses for grow
ing pullets should be movable so
that they may be shifted at least
twice during the season. If the
ranges are so managed that they
have a green crop growing on them
they will probably be in a sanitary
condition.
Professor Thompson recommends
four-year ration plan, in which
any given range is used once dur
ing the period for the pullet crop
In the year following the use of the
land for birds, some cultivated
crop should be grown such as corn,
potatoes or cabbage. In the second
year, wheat, oats, barley, rye or
some other small grain crop can be
planted In the early part of the sea-
son and after the harvesting al
falfa may be sown. In the third
year the alfalfa is managed as
money crop and in the fourth year
the poultry ranges over the second
year alfalfa growth.

EGG-GRADING LAW
TO AID PRODUCER
Colorado Plan Intended to
Improve Quality.

Colorado's new egg-grading law
will benefit poultry producers of the
state by standardizing and improv-
ing the quality of eggs sold, says o.
C. Ufford, extension poultryman for
the Colorado Agricultural college.
Improved standards will create a
demand for quality eggs, for which
producers should be paid according
ly, he adds.
At present there is no restriction
against selling eggs of any quality,
grade or condition.
The dumping of low-grade eggs
into Colorado from surrounding
states, causing sudden breaks in
market prices, will be prevented by
the new law, which specifies that
eggs shipped into the state must
be candled and meet at least the
quality and grade of Standards
Grades to be used under the
law include Specials" Extras"
Standards" Trades" and also
Cheeks"
GrOcers, dealers and wholesalers,
are required to obtain licenses from
the office of the director of mar
kets, Denver.
1t is unlawful to sell inedible
eggs. All eggs sold to consumers
must be candled and graded. Pro-
ducers selling eggs direct to con-
sumers must candle and grade them
and may get their licenses free of
charge If they are selling only their
own eggs. If selling direct to deal
ers, it is not necessary for pro-
ducers to candle and grade or have
licenses. If a producer buys eggs
to sell with his own he must Sc
cure a dealers license.

POULTRY CHATTER

A pullet can withstand range in
temperature from nearly zero to
about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
One reason va some farm f1ocks
do not lay more eggs is because
they are not given sufficient water
to drink.
A Black Minorca hen owned by
Mrs. Laura Hill Artega of Lompoc,
Calf, lays two-color eggs, half of
which are white and half brown.
All cockerels raised each season
except those selected to keep for
breeders should be eaten, canned or
marketed just as soon as they are
large enough.
Chicks multiply thei. size eight
or twelve times during the first
eight or ten weeks of their lives.

management to provide plenty of

OF eggs in the shell the United
States is an exporter rather than
an importer, having imported In
1880 only $4,000 dozen, while the
exports for the same year were 49,
$4,000 dozen.
A machine which automatically
candles and then grades eggs ac-
cording to weight has been devel-
oped. Eggs of the same weight are
deposited in bins, ten classifications
being provided.
An egg canning plant at Norfolk,
Neb., is operating at full speed fill
ing orders for eastern candy, may
onnaise and baking manufacturers.
The average daily output is 5000 to
1000 pounds of eggs.

for all races, the second providing d.
rect election of Senators, each went
through in just more than one a year
BY contrast, the income tax amendment
and one protecting the United States
Government against civil suits took be-
tween three ara four years to become
part of the Constitution after Congress
proposed them.
The twentieth amendment will cut
43 days of the Presidential term Of Mr..
Roosevelt This even though he may
be reelected for second term four
years hence.
He loses time because, although he
goes into Office March 4 like his prede-
cessors, he steps out January 20, and
every President after him will do like
wise.
Representatives and Senators lose two
months, as their terms will expire jan
uary instead of March 4. Both they
anG the President and Vice President,
incidentally, will lose money as well as
time. Annual salaries are paid by the
United States for full years. Part time
is scaled down accordingly.
Vice President "On Spot"
One man is going to be ION the spot"
under the amendment, and that is the
Vice President of the United States.
He'll be on the spot whenever he and
his party have been defeated for re-
election His duties will involve pre-
siding over the first two weeks OF the
next administrations Senate.
In presiding, the Vice President has
to keep order, rule on difficult parlia-
mentary questions, and cast his vote In
case of a tie.
One more amendment is contemplated
by the Constitution moderniZers: Abo-
lition of the electoral college, so that
the people may vote directly upon the
President, and the election shall depend
upon a straight national majority. 1t
is possible now for the man with less
than half the popular vote to win.
But that may take as long to accom-
plish as the job completed today.

FORMER KAISER is HELD
VICTIM OF ART SWINDLE
Statue Which He Bought Before
War for Million Marks Is De-
clared Fake by italian.

BY the Associated Press.
MESSINA, Sicily, January 23-
When former Kaiser Wilhelm paid q
million marks for statue Of the myth
ological queen of the underworld, says
a noted Italian professor Of ancient art,
he became the victim Of a colossal
swindle
The statue. which depicts Persephone.
a major Roman goddess and consort of
Pluto, and which now is in a Berlin
museum, is said by Prof. Eduardo CALI
not to be genuine.
Wilhelm bought the work before the
war in the belief that it was the handi-
work Of an artist in the fifth century
before Christ.
Prof. CALI, in an article to be pub
lished in Renaissance, an art review
issued here, maintains it is a mistake
to think the statue originated at Locri
in ancient Greece.
The report that the former Kaiser
had bought it at an Italian antique
shop led to bitter debate in 1922 when
some Italian collectors maintained that
Italy should rebuy it.
CALI insists the thing is "such a
monstrous fake" that Italian collectors
should cease worrying about their sup
posed loss.
