Separate "pullets from hens, say poultrymen from the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. Older hens are apt. If allowed, to keep the pullets from their feed and boss then) around so that they do not get 0 fair chance to develop as they should. Separation also lessens the risk from disease spread. Sklin milk Is one of the biggest known aids to egg production, and should he used to the limit. Every pullet should always have all the milk, sour or sweet, thut she' can drink. Cleanliness Is a big factor In handling poultry successfully, and the college poultrymen suggest not only washing the milk dish every time before use, but also cleaning the roosts, s frethe floors, and the quently. Some men clean the dropping boards every day, but this Is not absolutely necessary. With plenty of milk, the hens do not need so much water, and a few farmers claim better results when no water nt all Is given If the hens always hnve access to milk. The milk "Ives d them not only water, hut also proteins and minerals. Whole cabbages hung In the scratch pens make fine green feed, but other greenstuff are also good. It is a serious mistake to throw any large quantity of green roughage on the floor where It Is apt to be wasted by getting moldy and dirty. For the inash which pullets should always have before them, equal parts of bran, middlings, yellow corn meal, grouud heavy oats, and beef scraps generally give the best results. If the chickens have nil the milk they can drink, the meat scrap allowance can be cut tn two. The house Itsplf should be dry and Every poultryman knows the Importance of keeping his stock free from lice and mites. Lttter In the scratch pens should not be too deep at first, as tbe pallets do not know how to scratch deep yet. Yellow cracked corn is as good a scratch feed as anyof any other one needs, but one-thir- d wholesome grain can also be added. Add to these aids and precautions a good culling program, say the state college men, and any poultrymun should be able to get both pleasure and profit from handling his flock. The little things count In egg production, they say. They believe these practices, If followed, will Incrense noticeably the production of every hen In the state. They are not, of course. In favor of a greater total production of eggs, but less hens nnd more eggs is the combination that means money In the poultrymans pocket. .self-feeder- f! r .! ZZlffirr t&t&h lN , , ?

MASON AMASCUS, one of the oldest cities of the world, and at one time the wealthiest and busiest market of the Orient, Is now partially deserted. Automobile trains, nutlve carts, and other avulluble vehicles, pressed Into service, removed many of the Inhabitants, Including merchunts, fleeing with their fumllles from the ancient city of historical and mythical story as though from pestilence. Many of the famous bazaars, whet merchants nee sat and displayed their wares, are closed. Hotels are empty. The streets are deserted except for loungers In the Merdje Central square (where revolutionaries were recently banged by the hundreds) and the beggars In the street which la called Straight" and troops. Soldiers are everywhere. Clack, yellow, white, these soldier squads move through the narrow streets constantly, arresting revolutionary suspects. Three vernacular dally newspapers and two comic weeklies have been suppressed by the French authorities. Meantime revolutionary organizations, called the "Iron Hands," "Watchful Eyes," and the "Moslem Stalwurts," are circulating secretly printed Inflammatory proclamations telling of supposed French disasters. The vendors of these proclamations are arrested by secret service agents the moment they are discovered. Promptly at 6 oclock each evening the curfew sounds. A gravelike silence descends, broken only by the heavy rumbling of tnuks, the clattering of armored cars, the sound of galloping hoofs as cavalry moves through the streets. Then, from time to time, comes the distant crack of a French seventy-five.- " You know It is bombarding rebel groups hidden away outside the city.

And he continues: "From Its early days the history of Damascus has been stormy. The origin of the city Is unknown, and there Is much to confirm the popular belief that It Is the oldest continuous city In the world. It Is mentioned a number of times in Genesis.

The Ommayyads were replaced after ninety years by the Abhnsids, who removed the seat of their empire to Bagdad. Damascus then passed through a period of unrest In which It wus captured and ravaged In turn by the Egyptians, the Cnrmathlans and the Sdjuks.
