A FEW LITTLE FLAGS.

In the capitols of most of the states of the Union are flags that men reverence and love, and when the boys come home from overseas they will bring other flags that we shall reverence, too, for what they have been through, and what they stand for. They will have the regular number of stripes and the prescribed number of stars, and will differ from other American flags that we see every day only in the glamour - that service at the front has thrown r und them; but even those are not the flags that we should most like to see. Midway of last year the word began to steal through northern France and Belgium that American soldiers were fighting their way into the German-held country. Now and then the women saw an American iprisioner or an American soldier who had been wounded; and frequently they heard the Germans speak of the “American swine.” Hidden away in secret places those women had French or Belgian flags, and now they began to make American flags against the day that they knew was coming. They searched in schoolbooks for the design, took what poor finery the Germans had left to them and began to sew. When our boys

marched in to take the place of the retiring Germans their eyes beheld on every side those poor, pathetic homemade flags. Scarcely one was authorative. Sone had too many stripes, some not enough. Scarcely one had the right number of stars, but in spite of that no more eloquent bits of bunting ever flew. They told ot something bigger than a military victory; of an international unselfishness, of rescue, of food and every material help given in sympathy and love. Those are flags we should most like to see. They belong in the Capitol at Washington were, by looking at them, our children can learn what was the greatest thing their fathers ever did. —Youth’s Companion.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Will Chappell Writes From Portland, Oregon. The Democrat is in receipt of the following letter from Will M. Cham> c ll, formerly of Remington, who with his sons and daughter and brother, George A. Chappell, Wfcint to Portland a year ago last fall: Friend Babcock —The Democrat of April 2 arrived today and I j notice that my subscription Is due I the 10th. My $2 for renewal will reach you a day or two late, but nevertheless send me The Democrat for another year. We have had very fine weather for about four weeks until last week. The .government let us all out four weeks .ago. I was with the government 14 months. My boy Byron and I are working for the brewery now, building a large addition. There is a good deal of work here, but several men for a job on account of all the wooden ship yards closing down. The scale here for carpenters is $6.88 per eight hours, but at the present there are not many union jobs, though we are on a union job. ’See in tonight’s paper there is a contract let for $300,000 which will put a good many men to work. At present the rivers here are full of new wooden ships that have never been used; some of them have been tied lup here for a year. Hundreds of 1 m?n were induced to come out here i to work im the ship yards, bringing ! their families, and cannot get away. ! With lots of them it is their own fault for they couldn’t stand prosI perity, and bought automobiles and ! lived up everything they made. A week ago yesterday a few miles from Portland on the Sandy river highway were thousands of machines strung all the way from Portland to the fishing grounds where the smelt were running. People even used bird cages to catch them in. Men told me that they dipped out 500 pounds of fish per hour. Women even took oft their coats to carry them in amd in several instances women took off their skirts and tied up one end and filled them. Well, I have had enough smelt to eat and I do not care for any more for a year. In most of the yards cam be seen a large box with smoke oozing out, which is a good sign that they are smoking smelt. My daughter Gretchen and my niece, Mildred dowry, have gone to Heppner, Ore., and are taking charge of a hospital there. ' Well, I don’t know of any more news to write. We are all well and all working. With best regards to everybody, I aimi, yours truly, WILL M. CHAPPELL. 1222 E. 17th street north.

THE TWICE-A-WEKK DEMOCRAT

THE DAIRY

CLOVER FOR EARLY PASTURE Highly Valued by Dairymen aa Substitute for Silage and for Green FSed in Spring. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Excepting rye, crimson clover la the earliest pasture available in the spring in the Middle Atlantic states from New Jersey to North Carolina. Crimson clover la grown mostly for soli improving and for hay. Crimson clover pasture la especially valuable for hogs and sheep, which relish thia clover quite as much aa they do red clover and alfalfa. It Is highly vhlikhl by dairymen as u substitute for silage and as a means of obtaining green feed very early in the season. Many dairymen pasture their cows on crimson clover in order Xo save their silage for dry spells during the summer. An average acre of crimson clover furnishes day for two or three cows and reduces the amount of silage that must be fed by about one-half. Hogs, sheep and can be run on upland pastures throughout the winter and early spring except when snow is on the ground. Heavy cattie must not be turned on the fields when the ground is soft, although crimson clover is not injured by tram-

pling as much as permanent blue grass sod. Crimson clover Is not as likely to cause bloating as other clovers, but cattle, «and especially young cattle, should not be allowed to graze when the clover Is covered with frost.

DEFECTS IN BUTTER MAKING

Cooling Too Quickly or Working at Too Low Temperature Makes Butter Brittle. Butter that possesses a perfect texture has a flinty appearance. If the grain is destroyed it is usually the result of overworking* or of too high temperatures. Such butter has a weak, greasy body. Cooling too quickly or working at too low temperatures, makes butter brittle and crumbly. If milky brine is present, it shows the lack of thorough washing. Leaky butter results from lack of thorough incorporation of wash water through washing in a fine granular form with cold water, then working insufficiently. A dry body is due to excessive churning or high churning temperature.

PROVIDE CALF WITH SALT

Supply of Clean, Fresh Water, Always Available Is Another Simple Requisite. By the time the dairy calf is old enough to eat roughage it should have either access to or small daily offerings of salt. Plenty of clean, fresh water, constantly available, is another simple and Inexpensive requisite of good calf care that is too often neglected. Because a calf receives milk to drink is no reason why it does not require water. After the calf is two weeks old it needs water in small amounts at a time, though often.

NEW MILK FOR YOUNG CALVES

They Shoifjd Have It for First Two Weeks and Gradually Be Weaned to Skim Milk; Young calves ought to have new milk for the first two weeks of their lives, then they can gradually be weaned from new milk to skim milk, and at three or four week& of age you can take the skim milk away, from them by substituting a combination of grains and hay, or any other dry forage, that they Will, consume. Then gradually teach them to eat whole grain, like oats and corn, and give this to them extra besides their porridge. )

POULTRY FACTS

GOOD CARE FOR SETTING HEN

Attention Given Fowl Playa Important Part on Number and Condition of Chlcka. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The kind of care and attention given u setting hen during the process of hatching eggs plays an Important part on the number and condition of the chicks when hatched. See that the hens are mr*e comfortable on the nest, allow them to come off only once a day to receive feed and water. If there are any that do not desire to come off themselves, they should be taken off. Hens usually return to

A Good-Type to Select for Laying.

their nests before there is any danger of the eggs chilling, but if they do not go back In half an hour in ordinary weather, they should be put on the nest. Where a large number us sitters are kept in one room it |s advisable to let them off in groups of from four to six at a time- The eggs and nests should be examined and cleaned, removing all broken eggs and washing those that are soiled; in the latter case the soiled nesting material should be removed and clean straw added. Nests containing broken eggs that the hen is allowed to sit on soon become Infested with mites and lice, which cause the hens to become uneasy and leave the nest, often causing the loss of valuable sittings of eggs. In mlte-lnfested nests, the hen, if fastened in, will often be found standing over rather than sitting on the eggs. Many eggs that are laid in the late winter and early spring are infertile. For this reason It is advisable to set several hens at the same time. After the eggs have been under the hens from five to seven days, the time depending somewhat on the color and thickness of the shells —white-shelled eggs being easier to test than those having brown shells —they should be tested, the Infertile eggs and dead germs removed, and the fertile eggs put back under the hen. In this way it Is often possible to put all the eggs that several hens originally started to sit on under fewer hens and reset the others. For example, 30 eggs are set under three hens at the same time, ten under each. At the end of seven days we find on testing the eggs from all the hens that ten are infertile, which leaves us 20 eggs to reset, which we do by putting them under two hens, and have the remaining hen sit over again after she has set only seven days. In this way considerable time can be saved in one’s hatching operations.

POULTRY NOTES

The pullets and the year-old hens are the best egg producers. Market all cockerels not wanted as breeders at as early a date as possible. * * * A “chicken” is a young fowl, usually under six months of age. It becomes a “fowl” after that period. • * * One pound of feathers can be secured from five ordinary fowls, or from ten ducks, or from four geese. * * ♦ Whole corn is the proper food for sitting hens. They should have green food, grit, and pbre drinking water. ♦ ♦ * Eggs for hatching should be care fully selected, well-formed, with good shells, and kept in a temperature of 50 degrees to 60 degrees F. ♦ * * The chick worth having is the chick that releases itself from the shell with vigor, life and vitality; that comes jumping, as it were, into life. -» ♦ * ' A time-saving plan is to set hens In pairs, and giving the chicks hatched from both to one hen, allowing the other hen to go back to laying. * * • In salting the mash dissolve sufficient salt in the water with which the mash is to be moistened. In this way the salt wilt be more evenly distributed. An ounce of salt is about right for 100 fowls. ' .
