When birds are moved to the lay
ing house, feeding of whole grain
to the laying pullets is changed to
limited hand feeding instead of free
access as was practiced on range.
Morning lights are generally
started in October in order to pro-
vide minimum of IL hours of ma
tura1 and artificial light. The use
of artificial light will increase fall
and winter production but appar
emily does not improve the total
yearly production. High fall and
winter production is important be-
cause of the higher egg prices dur
ing that period.
Fresh litter is. added to laying
pens when pullets are housed and
additional litter added from time to
time as needed, without cleaning,
unless serious moisture problems
arise. A mechanical litter stirrer is
being obtained for the 1928 sea-
son to see if frequent mechanical
stirring Of the litter may not make
it possible to continue with the
built-up litter program throughout
the year with less moisture accumu-
lating and less packing occurring.
Pullets need an abundance of
oyster shell or limestone, granite
grit, feed and fresh water, and these
essentials should not be limited. The
floor space provided should not be
less than 2 to square feet per
bird, depending upon breed and size
of pen. Small pens require more
floor space per bird than large
pens.
Good care, management and
housing of a well developed flock
Of pullets should pay this fall in
spite of the unfavorable spring and
! summer prices just experienced.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-08-01

and granite grit are kept available.
The pullets are housed in 8 by 10
foot range shelters with 125 to $50
birds to the house. These range
houses are located on an old alfalfa
range and are placed about 200 feet
apart. These houses were moved
several times during the IL weeks
when birds were on range the first
few years of use, but are now
moved only at the beginning of
each season and are left in the
same location during the IL weeks
of use.
No disease trouble has occurred
with this practice although it could
not be recommended for birds I'M
der IL weeks of age, since coccidi-
osis infection would no doubt occur.
Neither have we had trouble at the
poultry farm with round worms
which could be a problem under
certain range conditions.
Each bird placed in the laying
house is selected for size, develop
ment and vigor as well as absence
of deformities.
The laying house is previously
cleaned and floors, nests, roosts and
lower walls sprayed with equal
parts kerosene and used crankcase
oil to control mites. Carbolineum
has also been used some for serious
mite infestation. Lice and mites are
our most serious parasite problem.
Black-leaf 40, or b enzene hexa-
chloride are generally used for lice.

Constantine Brown:

The American Government is
host to a man who for five long
years wore the blue and gray
zebra-striped uniform of the
inmates of Dachau concentra-
tion camp. He is Austria's Prime
Minister, DR.. Leopold Figl. a
Stoutish middle-aged man who
does not appear to be as tough
as he really is.
DR.. Figl has his Offices in the
historic Ballplatz palace where
Prince Metternich convened the
Congress Of Vienna in 1914 to
redraw the map of Europe after
the Napoleonic wars.
DR.. Figl comes from peasant
stock and worked his way
through the Agricultural Uni
versity in Vienna in 1922. He
became active in the Austrian
Peasants Union after the assas-
sination of Austrian Chancellor
Dollfuss.
On March IL, 1888, a day
after Hitler forced Chancellor
Schuschnigg to resign, DR.. Figl
was arrested and sent to the in
famous concentration camp at
Dachau. There he was given
the full treatment" He was
compelled to work at three times
the normal speed of those &C
customed to manual labor. He
was ordered to demolish con-
crete blocks with bare hands.
When he was not going fast
enough he was whipped with
a steel-threaded ox-hide lash,
a Nazi improvement over the
Russian knout. He survived
one of the most grueling pun
ishments administered by the
Dachau torturers. standing at
rigid attention for 81 hours in
the open air.
In 1943, for reasons known
only to the Gestapo, he was
freed. But he was sent back
to the dreaded camp after the
plot to assassinate Hitler in
1914. go. -
In the spring Of the next year
a Russian patrol came to fetch
him. He thought that this was

after a tedious trip back to
Austria, the Muscovite gruf11y
told him in pidgin German. "Du
Praesident werden" (you are to
be president). And that was
that.
From then on DR.. Figl held
the top Office in the little Aus
trian republic which in spite
of the strong wishes of the
Western Allies continues>to be
occupied by their forces; di-
vided into eastern and west
ern zones. He was elected chan
cellor Of the republic in the fall
Of 1945 by an overwhelming
vote and he Is now heading a
coalition government formed Of
Catholics and Socialists.
The honors which have come
to DR.. Figl have not changed the
pleasant modesty of the Aus
trian chancellor. His official
residence continues to be in the
magnificent gold and cream
baroque Ballplatz palace, but he
and his family actually live in
a modest five-room apartment.
Behind the historic desk where
he works hangs the portrait of
the next to last Austrian en-
peror, Franz Joseph II. While
shrunken Austria does not ex-
pect to become a monarchy
again, the loyalty Of the peas
ants, Of whom DR.. Figl is one,
is still strong for the Hapsburgs.
The Austrian chancellor comes
to this country after a short
visit to London. He still hopes
that something may be done to
give his country it's deserved
freedom. At the 1943 Moscow
conference between Secretary
of State Cordell Hull and the
British and Soviet foreign min
isters it was agreed that Aus
tria, which Hitler had taken
over by force in 1888, would not
be considered as an enemy
country and consequently not be

Conditions Are Similar to the Days When Gen. Eisenhower
Said Military Men Should Abstain From Political Activity

here because it is believed that q
great many Of our people share
the view often expressed here,
starting in 1948 when both
parties were seeking to draft
Gen. Eisenhower. that we should
not place a military man in
the White House. This view was
never better expressed than as
follows:
1T is my conviction that
the necessary and wise subor-
dination of the military to civil
power will be best sustained,
and our people will have great
er confidence that 1t is so sus-
tanned, when lifelong profess
sional soldiers, in the absence

for Gen. Eisenhower, who wrote
the above in January. 1948, but
1t does not appear so. Civilians
have been Presidents In all Of
our great national emergencies

AS for the necessity for sub
ordination Of military to civil
power. no more need be said,
for the general has said it most
convincingly. But there Is an
other cogent argument against
a military man in the White
House which he put equally well
when he wrote:
Politics is q profession; q

parallel. But those who re-
member the 1912 preconvention
contest will agree that only in
certain phases was that con-
test parallel to what is happen
ing this year.
In the first place. the battle
between the then President
William Howard Taft and for
mer President Theodore Roose-
velt for the Republican presi-
dental nomination was con-
fined almost entirely to domes-
tic issues. The cost of living
had risen in 1910, and the
people had elected for the first
time in many years q DEM
ocratic majority in the House
of Representatives. There was
a rebellion inside the Repub-
lican Party, with the Western
faction of the party-known as
the Progressive wing'-mak-
ing the issue primarily the
tariff. which those Republicans
under the leadership of SEN
ator Dolliver of Iowa had
blamed for the high rise In the
cost of living.
But the deep cleavage inside
the Republican Party was one

sophy long before it became ap-

Theodore Roosevelt would make
an attempt to get back In Of

the liberals and progressives are
in the main behind Gen. Eisen-
hover or candidates like Gov.
Warren and former Gov. StaS-
sen, who represent the view
point Of that wing Of the party.
The odd part Of it. however,
is that, If one examines Senator
Taft's views on domestic ques-
tions. they are not far different
from those Of the other faction
in the party. While Gen. Eisen-
hover has not himself cam
paigned,s the viewpoint Of his
followers like Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts, and Gov. Dewey
is not so far away from that Of
the Ohio Senator. On matters
like public housing, Federal aid
to education and labor-manage-
ment legislation. there is not a
great difference between the two
groups.
It is primarily in the realm Of
foreign policy that there is such
a wide difference this year be-
tween the two factions in the
Republican Party-that is, those
supporting Gen. Eisenhower and
those supporting Senator Taft.
Except for the intensity Of the
campaign and the sharpness of
the attacks on one another as
between the spokesmen Of
Eisenhower and those Of Sena-
tor Taft. the 1919 and 1852
campaigns are not parallel. But
undoubtedly what Senator Taft
had in mind, when he said that
this years campaign was the
toughest since that of 40 years
ago. is that he has been kept
battling in the primaries as no
candidate has ever been re-
quired to battle before. Certainly

This is q fact, irksome as it

grudgingly from their earlier

Correspondents who have
studied the Kefauver phenom-

the basic nature Of the Sen

things that make it hard for his,
