Blockade of Empire to Impress Ruler. London. Nov. 21.-The entent al lies have demanded that Greece citherl join-with them and fulfill her treaty obligatioln to Servia or ,detobilize, and to impress King Constatine that they mean what they say the allies have declared a commercial blockalde of the Iellenic empire, according to Atheni dispatches. There is no con firnation of these statements here but it is certain that Lord Kitchener, the British war secretary, who had an hour's audience with the king of Greece yesterday and afterward saw 'Premier Skouloudis took a firi stand. The Greek cabinet met to consider the situation and a few hours should show Greece's attitude. The Greek government again has aflirmed its friendliness to the allies, but has not aken the steps required to prevent Greece from being counted among the friends of the central powers. 'fTle entente will not permit any delay; the position of the Servian ar mies makes any prolongation of tile resent ulcertainty impossible. Al ready the Servians are making what may be their last st and before Mon astir and also on the plains of Koss ovo. The liltlgarians, it, is true, are bc ing held up by unfavorable weather, but. they nmust be almtnost at tie gates of the 3lacedonian ca)ital and the Austro-Germlans and Bulgarians are slowly but sirely pressing back the northiern army. Te110 Germans announce today tile capture of Novapalzar and therefore are on the direct road to Mitrovitza, which ias been the Servian capital sinice Nish fell into tile hidnds of the llulgarianis. Other aries are pressing in froml, tle norbth, tile northwest, tile n1ort,1h east and tile east and even the Mon telegrils, who held their positions long, .tre0 being forced black. Of tie lrench and British troops ill ithe south no niews has been rv eolved.

They Range Lcng Distances From House During Day in Search of Fooc, But Come Ncar House to Liy--Flosh is "Gamey." (fly A. J. LEGO. We'st Virginia.) Some people object to the noise which guineas make and their wild nature, but as summer egg-layers guinea hens are hard to beat. We have three guings hens and a cock that have the range of the fields, and they are the best insect destroy ers that we have on the farm.' They have a better reputation with us as insect destroyers than the thieving crow which some writers commend so highly for the bugs and worms they eat, and they also pay a'hand some profit in eggs for any grain they may cut. The guinea hens I speak of lay an egg each day, and they have been lay ing for nearly tbree months. They are likely to keel) this up for two months yet. We have a brood of young guineas that are growing nicely--they are a cross between the pearl and the white guinea, and are growing better than we ever kot either full-blood to do. I never liked the idea of crossing breeds, but a cross seems to increase the vitality of the guinea. Some havo trouble finding the guinea nests, but our guineas have never gone far from the house to make their nests. Sometimes they lay in the hen nests in the poultry house. They range long distances from the houso during the day in search of food, but comie near the house to lay. Guineas are marketed at from six to eight months old. Drollers weigh ing about one pound are in great do mang, as their flesh is then tender and somewhat "gamoy." Old birds are (ry, tough and tasteless. They should be marketed with the feathers on, tho same as game. The age of a iguinea fowl can be told in the same way as Common Guine1. that of a chichen. If young the breast hone is lexible, the feet solt aid tender, with short, sharp claws, and tho outer wigir feathers have pointed ends. After a bird is fifteen months old the helmet on the head changes from black to a lead color. MAKING CREAM-COOLING BOX Where Ice Is Not Available a Service able Tank Can Be Arranged Be tween Pump and Trough. (y J. L. LAMMITS, Wisconsin Experi ment Station.) It is (desirable to remove the animal heat from the milk as seen as possible after it is drawn, and ice is usually recommended. On the farm, however, it is often not practicable to store ice, but the same purpose can be served at very little expense, by putting the milk as soon as drawn into a cooling tank. Such a box placed between the pump and the watering troughs so that all the water passes through it, will keep the cream or milk at a low temperature until ready for delivery. A concrete box can be made on the farm that wvill serve excellently for this purpose. It should be provided with a cover, and shaded to keep the water cool when the pump is not run ning. There are also several forms of wooden and galvanized metal tanks for this purpose on the market. Some of these are now insulated and cov ered so that they retain the low coem perature for some time. MAKING SPOILED HAY USEFUL When Not Too Badly Injured It Can Be Salted and Fed to Stock-By No Means Burn it. There will 1)e much spoiled hay this season because of the excessive rains that have inlt(ertred with hay har' vest. WVith sonme farmers it may ho0 a problem what to doa w'ith thiis spoiled hay. lI y all mean do(1 not burn it. Whore it is not so badly spoiled as to be inijurious to stodck it can I 1be died weoll, salted and fed. There is much feeding value in it ifr stock cani he in duced to eat it, and what is not eatein can be used as bedding and thus be made into manure. IRather than burn this hay scatter it over the fields that are to be plowved for corn next spring. In this way the fertilizing value would not be lost. Store Poultry Implements.
