Defending them with might.

Aim) made them yield to law.
And “John Bull” Iroasta that, when he fighta,
He never tighta a draw,
Me whipped the great Armada,
Which wua a world aurpriae,
He forced the Mngna Charta,
And the Bill of Rights likewise.
He made a constitution, '
And gave the kings n law.
And made them know that, when he fights,
He never figh s a draw., ,
But when he fought Our Country,
To subjugate us tried,
Forgot Ilia constitution,
Our well known riglits denied,
He at ill could boast as truly—
A boast without a flaw—
That, as lie got completely whipped,
Me never fought a draw.
Me also fought Napoleon,
Helped make his Waterloo,
And sometimes gently liinta,
May curb the Kaiser, too.
We're now along with Johiyny.
Hut have him heat, why pshaw!
We’ve never lost a single war,
And never fought a draw.
Now, that we’re in the eonllu#.,
Hold fast this solemn thought.
Our glniinus cause of freedom
With good red blood was bought.
And, now we're in it, some say,
"The worst you ever saw,”
We know onr people will be game,
And never (iglit a draw.

More Money now than ever
Before in Eggs and Chickens.
, /
Many farmers him! poultry raisers are selling their chickens
or cutting down their Hooka because of high prices for feed. There
never waa a greater mistake.
Hen feed—corn, wheat and oats—has increased an average
of on* cent per pollud since 1910, or B cents per hen per month.
Kggs have advanced (average for the year) 7 cents per dozen dur-
ing that same time. Live poultry has advanced 6 cents per pound
A hen that lays 12 eggs per month ia more profitable titan before,
while (lie hen that lays IN to 24 eggs per month is a hig money
maker.
Then, too, consider that the Itea picks up much of her feed
about tl e farm and from kitchen scraps, without a cent of cost.
