THE WAR SITUATION
The Allies who have been holding
the tremendous r German, offensive
pretty well in hand for the past two
weeks receiefed a`set back on Tuesday,
when the Jimmy launched a very -se-
vere and unexpected attack on the
Allied front in Flanders, on that part
held by the British and Portufr'uene
troops and succeeded in pushing'
them back a considerable distance and
capturing some rather important pla-
ces. . The attack was made on an
eleven mile front, the centre of which.
was held by the Portuguese and the
flanks by the British and it would ap-
pear that the enemy success has been
greater than at almost any point since
•the great drive eomnienced. This sec-
tor hitherto has been one of the quiet-
est on the whole Allied line. The coun-
try is absolutely Rata and in the fall,
winter and spring is covered with wat-
eel, and even now after some' reeks of
good weather it is said that the ground
is is such 'condition that only small
guns can be dragged over it. The
flatness and nature of the soil does
not permit of the erection of any ade-
quate defensive works, and if the Ger-
.tnan attack " has been made in over-
t•I elinin r numbers, it is quite possible
' that they may gain considerable
/ ground. The attack was launched in
the early .morning in a dense ;Hist,.
after very severe artillery prepara-
tion. The,.exxent of the attack is not
yet certain, owing to the mist and
communication with the front line be-
ing interrupted by gunfire. It is not
yet known whether this unexpected
and strong: attack is an effort to break
the Allied line at a new point or not.
It may be,so�and again it may only be
a feint attack to prevent troops from
this sector of the line being sent- as
reinforcements to the Somme, as
many of the war experts claim. The
battle front seems to widen day by day
and although the Germans have met
with a measure of success in the new -
push, at other points their gains
have been, entirely insignificant in
comparison with the tremendous losses
they have sustained. The situation,
however, at the present time is a ser-
ious one. It is felt in Britain and the
other Allied cauntries that the last and
greatest stage of the war has been
reached and that Germany is now
massing her supreme effort:. The dan-
ger is not that Germany will win, but
the danger lies ih her achieving en-
ough success to enable her- to make
peace er have a say in the peaceterms
if they should be made and the Allies
know that to gain this she will spare
no human life, not even her own, nor
abstain from committing any act, no
n2atter how inhuman, if by commit-
ting it she will help her cause. Oa
the other hand if the Allies Win, or
even hold Germany now, the cause
will be won because if Germany can-
not break through now, when she has
staked her all and is putting every
ounce of force she will ever be able to
put in the attack, she will die from
loss of blood and that very probably
before the year is out. To this Iatter
end Britain is now straining every
nerve to do her part in the Allied
cause. This •has been amply evidenced
by Premier Lloyd George's new man
Power Bill, which was introduced in,
the British House of Commons this
week. By this bill the age limit for
service in Britain has been raised to
50 years and in special eases to 55
years, and no man under 25 years will
be retained in any industry. Besides
this Ireland will be included under it
in the eons:cription scheme. Hitherto
Ireland has been exempt but itis now
felt that while England, Scotland and
Wales are being scoured ,for men of
nearly all ages to serve against the
enemy, the idea of sparing Ireland is
no longer to be tolerated. Events
during the past week have not i.mpa.ir-
dd the AIlied cause in any shape or
form, but the coming months will be
the critical ones and every effort is
being made to- meet them. The battle
will be a tremendous one and the end
is no -t yet.
INCUBATION
The •keynote to succesful winter egg
production is "Early Hatching." It
matters not whether the natural or
the artificial method of incubation is
used, the clicks -must be hatched early,
if -the best results are to be obtained.
If it is impossible to secure enough
broody hens early in the season to
hatch the number of chicks required,
purchase an incubator.
In buying a machine, it should be
borne in mind that at the most only
three hatches can be taken off. in the
proper ha.tehing period. The incu
town hip.
assasiewatamasaussanamoseteete
baton, thherefore, should be of sufcierit-
capacity to produce at each hatch, at
least one -ted the number of chicks
required. .
There are a lot of good incubators.
on the market. Do not be deluded luto
buying a - machine just because it is
low in price. The low-priced incuba-
tor is very often the most expensive
one -in ' the end.
The incubators should be placed in
a room that is - fairly even in tem-
perature, has a good, solid floor, and
that e n be well ventilated twitleout
draugh. -
In running anincubator, the menu-
facturer's =-general directions should
be carefully followed as he is the one
that should know best what his ma-
chine requires. -
At the same time, -a little variation
in the handling will often greatly im-
prove results. Climatic conditions
sometimes alter requirements. A ma-
chine thatdoes not' require added
moisture in one locality may in an-
other. A relative humidity of between
50 and 60 inside the egg chamber
gives the most satisfactory results; if
a machine is not giving these condi-
tions, moisture should be added. This
may best be done by placing a tray
of wet sand either under the egg tray
or above it, depending on how the
machine is heated.
In starting the machine, run it for
several days until it is perfectly .re-
gulated - before putting in eggs. The
two -'kind's of thermometer most com-
monly used are the standing, which
should register about 102, and the
hanging, which is usenlly hung and
should register 103. If the hatches
are slow in coming,`off, raise the tem-
perature in succeeding hatches and
vice versa. .
From the second day until the- eggs
begin to pips they should be turned
twice a day. They should also be
cooled, the length of time for cooling
depending. on climatic conditions and
the ,temperature at which the machine
is being run.
It is advisable to test the eggs twice
during the hatch—once about the sev-
enth - day when the, infertile eggs and
"blood rings" should beremoved'and
again about - the fourteenth when all
dead germs should be taken out. A
little practice will soon teach just
what it is safe to take out and what to
leave in.
As soon 'as the eggs begin to pip,
which will usually ; be about the
eighteenth day, close up the machine
and leave it until the hatch is' over.
When the temperature rises a degree
,When
two, don't get excited, as the rise
is to be expected at this time, and is
a good sign. It is due to the heat gen-
erated by the chicks struggling to free
themselves from the shells. Wait un-
til the hatchingis over and the chicks
have become toroughly dried before
opening the machine.
