CLEMENCEAU VISIT' HOME OF ROOSEVELT New York, Nov. 21.-(By'the As sociated Press).-Georges Clemen ceau, war premier of France, mo tored to Oyster Bay today and laid a wreath on the grave of Theodore Roosevelt.. The gray ,old tiger, himself an apostle of preparedness, spoke no word as he stood before the grave of America's "wielder of the big stick" but he 'was visibly moved. His keen eyes took in every detail of the little fenced-in enclosure that has ebcome a shrine for many Americans. Then he stood for a moment with a faraway look, deeply immersed in thought. Finally he turned away and ti'udged slowly down the winding path of Young's Cemetery and motored to Roosevelt's home. While others of the party rang the door bell and waited for the door to be opened. Clemenceau turned abruptly and walked off down the broad veranda where Roosevelt used to sit to watch the sail boats in Oyster Bay. He v'alked all the way to the rear of the house, closely inspectingr the long, low structure, stately, but simple, on the crest of Sagamore Hill A'chUe Roosevelt, who served as ft soldier in France, hurried to the veranda to greet him and conduct ed him into the house where Mrs. Roosevelt greeted him. le spent some time in Roosevelt's famous trophy room. Then he drove back to the Manhattan resiletice of Charles Dana Gibson. Before he started down Long Island, the tiger viaited Herman Rohlsaat, publisher, intimate friend of McKinley and drafter of the "famous gold plank" of 189 who is ill at the Baltimore. Other events of the (lay included a brief meeting with Gen. Pershing at the Gibson home and a visit to the country estate of Otto H. Kahn at Cold Spring Harbor Long Island. There is only one event on Clem enceau's program for tomorrow, a reception at which he will meet a group of newspaper publishers and editors. What he will do with the rest of the day will depend on his own whims. KEEP THE POULTRY FLOCK HEALTHY Clemson Colelge, Nov. 21.-One of the first requirements in successful poultry management is health, for without it we can not expect to make any financial gains (luring the course VING DAY", ;ings on this clay of as most the friend of our patrons, and d all the fullness of mud abundant pros Thanksgiving Sea Thanksgiving Day. NAL BANK resident. N, Vice-President. 3ashier., Of the..year, pccording to N. R. Mehr hof, Extension Poultry Specialist, who says that first of all, we must start off the season with a flock of poultry that has been- raised under the best of care and management. ,The young stock .nust have cone fro mhealthy, vigorous parents. After bringing the young stock to maturity in a healthy condition, we still have a problem on our 'hands, for we want to force the laying stock in order to, get a maximum number of eggs from them; but if we do not maintain health we can nto expect eggs. Our slogan there fore should be: "Prevent rather than cure diseases." To maintain the health we must house properly, that is, provide a comfortable house for the birds to work in. Then again, we must feed properly, which includes feed ing the correct grain mixture and mash mixture, and the feeding of green succulence and an abundance of clean fresh water. Still we must do more than just feed the correct ingredients, we, must feed these in gredients in the correct method. In other words, the successful poultry man must study his condil 'ns and then apply the general principles to his needs. When a sick bird is noted in the flock it should be taken away from the rest and cured at once, for sick chickens remaining with healthy ones will soon spread the disease to them.

OLD) AND WARtY ANIMALS ARlE HARtD TIO TlHAP ORt SHIOOT It is one thing to hunt predlatory animals in praticcally virgin territory, and make a spdectacular killing, and quite another to go into a dlistrict where only the wicked old offenders that have eludled 'every body are left to catch. Hunter John N. Martin was sent by the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Ag riculture to some sheep ranges near Plainviewv, S. D~ak., adjoining the Cheyenne Indian Reservation, and found that during the precedinig win ter and spring the country had been hunted andl trapp~ed over by bounty hunters, with the result that all pups and young animals, or those easy to take, were g~ne; sheep losses, never theless, wecre occurring constantly. Working steadily for two and a half' months, Hunter Martin took 30 coy otes and 2 bobcats, all old1 animals. About two-thirds of them bore evi (ence of having been in trap~s fronm which they hiad escapedl, or of having been shot and wvounded at some pre' viousa time. In addition to this kill, Martin reported that 50 poisoned bals were taken. The bounty nystemn has beeni abandoned in many places as a result of demonstrations by the Blio logical Survey, as it hmas been found that, better results in stopping live stock losses are obtainedl when a hun ter is hired to give all his time to hunting, trapping, andl poisoning and is held responsible for destroying the actual live-stock killers.

REARRANGEMENT OF KITCIrEN LIGHTENS HOUSEWIFE'S TASKS New equipment is not always re quired to make home kitchens more convenient and less tiring to work in, says a report to the United State:: Department of Agriculture on exten sion-agent work. Much can be done by rearranging the equipment already on hand, such as grouping objects commonly used in the preparation of food, or those used for washing or storing dishes, or articles belonging to the cleaning outfit. In many cases the attention of the housewife is drawn to the need of doing work re quiring a good light by a window, or by having a good suspended light at night. One widely adopted improve ment is that of giving old floors an easily cleaned surface. A number of simple contrivances can be made at home to lighten the housework, and frequently the farmer himself will as sist by building shelves, a folding iron ing board, dresser, wheel tray, and other labor-saving conveniences. Improvements in farm kitchens are being carried on in prac ;tally all the States. Last year, through demon strations given by extension workers, over 21,000 families are reported as adopting suggestions regarding home arrangement and management; 7,000 kitchen swere rearranged, 5,000 wa ter systems installer, 3,000 washing machines and 4,000 steampressure cookers purchased, 65,000 homes screened, 4,000 septic tanks installed, and 7,000 lighting systems placed in farm homes.
