TIME HKAU A 1.1. XVOl IS
An example of the old saying that
time heals all wounds is exemplified
ty the fact that the man ho will
represent the I'niW Statw in Ger
many during the delicate situation
which has aris?n over Germany's ut
niarine policy is none other than our
old friend Senor Polo de lVrn.il,
Spanish ambassador, who, during the
Spanish-American war. was the Span
ish ambassador to ths I'nked States
and was handed his passports at the
outbreak of hostilities bleen Spain
and our country. Now the man whom
the I'nited States once reiiested to
lrave the country is entruMed with
the affairs of our nrtion. The seuor.
however, was dbmisietl from the
United States under usual war con
ditions and not for any personal mis
behavior or utterances, and since he
is looking after the interests of the
I'nited States, Washington feels that
the affairs of the nation are in cap
able hands.

France for mouths have been trying .
to drag King Constantino's country ,
Into war and hcs. through influences!
at work in that country, succeeded to
sotte extent in tho alieartiou of the'
sympathy and loyalty to the country
aud for the king who is trying to;
keep them out of war. The allies,:
realizing the advantages they would
gain by drtwiu? Greece into (war.
have constantly bon working on her
subjects so that now Constantine
faces both an interna! and external;
situation. Sherman's definition of
war is correct, but it seems that ;
Greexe, while trying to stay out of :
war, is catching it both ways. The;
sympathy of tho I'nited States as a
whole is with the allies on account
of Germany's drastic submarine pol-:
icy, but aa investigation of the poli-.'
cies of the allies in Greece, while not j
making us fee! any more friendly :
towards Germany, will enlighten us .
as to what extremity England and ;
F ranee have gone.
"Marse" Jackson of the Oregon ;
Journal having failed to intimidate)
and bulldoze tho law-making bodies,
of Oregon into passing a bill he pre-j
pared relative to the delinquent tax
publication, is now turning the gun
of hia democratic paper upon Gus.
Moser, president of the senate, ho,
according to the Journal, will be a
candidate for the governorship of
Oregon. The people of Oregon will
not longer be fooled by "Marse
Jack's" efforts to start something in,
order to slip in some of his pet
democratic measures. They remem
ber how strongly he fought f.ir the
people (?) when in reality his fight
was for West, Chamberlain and other!
democratic celebrities who have had
' r now have fat Jobs in state and
government circles. Mr. Jackson
failed In Li3 efforts to run the Iegis-i
lature and senate, so why shouldn't;
he be sore? A little fellow named i
Forbes, who was conscientious. '
backed up by the conscientious mem- '
hers of the legislature, blocked Jack-;
ton's game and showed him that he!
didn't or couldn't run the whole!
state. They passed a bill which is)
just and sensible, notwithstanding;
the fight of the Journal. In all prob
ability they could read between the
lines and saw "Marse Jackson's" mo
tive. The Journal cannot fool all!
tho people all the time. j

HATCH CHICKENS EARLY
Frr-.li KgH Will He Scare Xet Fall
and Winter.
Did it ever occur to you that na
ture requires her children to take an
annual vacation? She does, and no
where do human beings puixle their
brains over this fact more than when
the hens begin their yearly holiday.
This vaction is technically called the
"molting season." It begins durlug
the late summer. The hens stop lay
iug, and change their suits of fea
thers for new ones. I'sually they con
sume three or four months in the
process. Most of us know this per
fectly well but are apt to overlook
the fact that a very important feature
of the molting period is that egg
laying stops. We are unreasonable
and expect the hens to lay all the
time. When the hens take this vaca
tion new-laid fresh eggs are scarce
end remain scarce until Uie pullets
hatched during th preceding spring
begin to lay
Tlie Remedy
The remedy is very simple, and Is
under the control of the poultry man.
The first step is to have chicken
hatched early, so that the pullets be
gin to lay when the hens begin to
molt. This is not difficult. Pullets
of the American breeds begin laying
at about seven months of age. Leg
horn pullets begin when about six
months old. North of the Ohio river
thi3 means that all hatching must be
over by May 1 at the late;4. The
best plan is to have the chicken
coming at intervals during March and
April. The earliest hatched pullets
will, of course, beein to lay first. U
any of them begin to molt, their
places will be taken by the later ones
and a steady supply of eggs will be
more certain.
The IMfficully
The difficulty in the way of the
practical application of this matte-'
is that so many poultry keepers are
dependent on hens for hatching. A?
long as we have late hatched chick
ens we will have late sitters. The
poultry keeper who wants to change
from late hatchine to eariv hatchlne
must therefore either get broody hens
from someone else or use an incu
bator. After he has "changed the
dates" on his flock he will have no
trouble. e-p?cially with the American
breeds.
C an It Re Done?
Every progressive poultry raiser
who has tried it. every agricultural
college and the government, have
data showing that early hatching will
produce fall and winter layers In
the government flock during" the past
winter the pullets of the entire flock
averaged over 20 per cent in egg
production, and some pens made 35
per cent. That means, in plain lan
guage, that the egg production for ali
the pullets w:s one egg daily for
