THE ENGLISH NAVAL DISPLAY.

The British nation has shown to
Kaiser Wilhelm the immensely of
its naval strength, in a9demonstra-
ton of welcome but seldom accorded
even the most distinguished guest.
To think that over a hundred vessels
of war, some of them the most for
midable afoat, manned by the re-
nowned British seamen to the num-
Der of nearly $4,000, will give some
idea to US of the vast armament
England has at her command upon
the sea, and of which this was but a
part.
Through a lane of war-ships
decorated with bunting, manned by
seamen at every available point, and
with guns belching forth a salute of
welcome, the little yacht Hohenzol-
lern, with the young ruler of the
German empire, must have seemed
small indeed, and have given him an
introduction to a power available on
the deep, capable of coping with the
united navies of any two other
nations on the globe, and of a
character as renowned for valor as
any of the records of history can
display. What the land forces of
Prussia are to the continent
Europe, the navy of England is to
the world, the best drilled and the
best equipped. And the timely dis
play "by the tight little isles F." of
of their prowess, even though in
giving a royal salute, will have, no
doubt, a salutary effect upon the
restless spirit which animates the
young and ambitious German En-
peror.
Americans once could contem-
plate such display as occurred at
Portsmouth with some feelings of
complacency in considering that
upon the two occasions where we
were pitted against them in deadly
combat, the superiority of our coun-
trymen was demonstrated to the
world, not alone in the ships, their
manoeuvering, or equipment, but in
the intrepid gallantry which marked
our seamen, and the steadfastness
with which they persisted until they
conquered. But at this time we
must think far different thoughts
If England were to engage US to-
day, all our ships, all our manoeu-
vres, our equipment or gallantry
could not withstand one good broad
side from the English feet that
would attack US. We would be as
powerless as inanimate objects, and
as vulnerable at every point of naval
attack as the most savage tribe that
inhabits the coasts of Africa.
The demonstrations in England at
Portsmouth and Spithead, where
the flower of the British navy passed
in review before the royal guest,
teaches a lesson to US which it
would be well for US to learn. and
that quickly American paper.

THE SEIZED SEALERS.
The London Times" Advocates Wig
orous Measures.

I Il
orous Measures.
| LONDON, August 23.-The London
Press Association says the English Gov.
eminent has minated to the United
States Government its willingness to
negotiate settlement OF the Behring
sea matter, and now awaits the Amer
lean Governments reply.
The Times says there is curious
wants OF seriousness about the Behring
sea seizures. 1t appears TO be intended
to brighten away Victorian sealers by the
sham formalities OF capture and not to
exact the usual penalties. America APP
pears to think that this course will
appease the Alaska company, please the
Irish electors, and yet not provoke
British reprisals; but she has no right to
play a game OF bounce" with weapons
OF illegal capture and search. Unless Eng
! land takes some active measures America
will be perfectly content with an inter
change of views till doomsday. The
Americans will not find us unreasonable
on the score OF preserving seals from
extinction, but if they persist IN refusing
to discuss any settlement, our only
course is TO take vigorous steps to insure
that our rights are respected.
OTTAWA, August 23-It is now admit
ted in political circles here that Lord
Stanley has made urgent representa-
tions regarding the recent seizures in
Behring sea. \ leading official OF the
Fisheries department says he feels GER
tain that an international commission
will be appointed after the expiration OF
the Alaska Commercial Company's con-
tract to settle the Atlantic and Behring-
sea question. He feels confident that
compensation for the late seizures will
be paid the Canadian yessel-owners.
Hon. Mackenzie Rowell, Minister OF
Customs, has telepraphed to Victoria
for information regarding the recent
seizures in the Behring sea. He eX-
presses himself as pleased with the at
titude assumed by the London Times
on this question.
\ rumor is current tonight that pro-
posals have been sent from Washington
to London as a basis of settlement OF the
Behring sea dispute, and it is for the
purpose OF considering it that an impor-
tant meeting Of the Cabinet has been
called. 1t is impossible, however, to
verify the statement. Those possessed
of the facts maintain that the cores
pondence received from the British Gov
eminent is confidential and will not be
made public.
OTTAWA, August 24.-People here are
highly indignant over the apparent
apathy Of the British Government re-
garding the seized sealers. Its rumored
in official circles, that the Imperial Gov
eminent has ordered the British war
ships OF the Pacific station to keep away
from Behring sea.

Pure Bred and Crosses.

In breeding poultry for market and
eggs the question is often asked, (Which
is best, some pure breed or a good cross?"
For myself, l would always take the
thoroughbred, as they will breed uniform
ly in size, shape and other points.
Each of the many different breeds have
their peculiar traits and good points,
some being best adapted for market pur-
poses, others best for eggs, while
some seem to be the 'happy medium" and
are excellent for both purposes and are
termed the general purpose fowl"
There are also many good crosses. The
Brahma crossed with the Leghorn is
good general purpose fowl. The Black
Spanish and Leghorn crossed makes an
excellent layer and a very hardy fowl.
Black Javas are excellent to cross with
almost any breed, and in fact there are
many other good crosses, more than
space will allow me to describe. Black
. Cayuga ducks crossed with the Pekin pro-
duce larger bird than either breed pure
as a general rule.
Still all these crosses, unless made di-
rect (pure bred from pure bred), will soon
run out, and cannot be depended upon to
produce uniform chicks. The male bird
at least should always be pure, if possi-
BILE, if you desire to get the best results.
But for myself, I have no use for crosses,
for if pains are taken in breeding pure
bred stock, and fresh blood taken into
the flock every few years from some relia-
BILE breeder, the thoroughbred fowl will be
as hardy and no more liable to disease
than the cross or dung-hill and will breed
strong, healthy, uniform chicks, which will
be profitable and pleasing to the eye.

Poultry Notes.
POULTRY DROPPINGs.

A Massachusettsfa farmer figures that the
droppings from eight hens in one year are
as valuable as the manure from a COW
during the same time. DIR. Dixie, of the
Farmers Journal, says he has grown six
good crops of corn in six years in his
poultry yard, the only fertilizer being
that deposited by the fowls themselves.
OLD HENS.
A two-year-old or three -year-old hen
will probably lay smaller number of
eggs, but it is very doubtful if she pro-
duces a less weight of eggs. Each egg will
be larger than the one laid by her in her
first season, but the smallness of tho
number will be more than offset by the
greater size.
GOOD TONIC.
The best tonic for fowls in the drinking
water is ten drops of tincture of iron in
gallon of water. Once or twice week q
teaspoonful of tincture of camphor is ex-
celent if the fowls are debilitated. If the
flock is in good condition nothing but
pure fresh water need be allowed, along
with variety of food.
AN EGG PREsERvATIvE.
The Magnet gives the following as an
infallible preservative of eggs:
Take teacupful of salt, and lime the
size. of an egg, and pour boiling water on
them. When cold, drain off the liquor and
put it on the eggs. Ii too strong there
will be crust on top; if so, add morewa-
ter. This is for two gallons of liquor.
There is no receipt that beats this, and it
can be relied upon. Eggs put down in
August and used in April are just as fresh
and make just as nice frostings as newly
laid ones"
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-06-26
Fowls for Eggs.

A subscriber who has contemplated
supplying one of the large markets with
eggs, sends us number of inquiries as
follows:
1. Will Leghorns be the best breed to
keep for supplying eggs for market? If
so, which variety?
2. How many fowls should be kept to
insure four dozen eggs per day through
the winter months, with good house and
proper care?
3. Will one acre of ground be eenough to
keep such number of fowls, and how many
Leghorns should be kept in each house,
having no cocks?
4. Would it be best to heat poultry
houses for Leghorns?
5. What would be an average price per
dozen for year?
6. How would it do to cut Leghorn's
comb off? Would it reduce the laying
qualities?. How and when should the
comb be cut, and is it done by any egg
breeders?
L. They will answer admirably. Either
variety will sevre the purpose. No breed
is superior to them as egg producers.
2. About 100, but as it is not safe to
Count eggs before they are laid, it may
require larger number
8. An acre will keep 100 hens easily. If
no cocks are used 25 Leghorns may be
kept together in each flock. A house.hav-
ing $50 square feet on the floor will ac-
commodate the 100 hens.
4. A house should not be made too
warm. 1t should never get below 400. A
little warmth on damp, cool days will be
appreciated by the hens.
s. Twenty cents (for the entire year) is
as much as should be expected, but if you
are known as selling only fresh eggs, can
sometimes get twice as much as the regu-
lar market price.
6. Cut off when the bird is four months
old and it will be an advantage in winter.
Cut with sharp knife or shears, and dip
the head In strong alum water.-Poultry

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Around the Poultry Yard.

Stunted chicks will never make good
sized fowls.
Feed regularly and never let the chicks
go to bed hungry. Also feed as early as
possible in the morning.
A good dog about the poultry quarters
will save many a fowl and chick from
night intruders, whether they be two or
four-legged rascals.
The birds must have plenty of shade; if
there are no good shade trees near the
fowl house, you must provide some other
means for shade, or your birds will suffer
greatly.
II Don't try to hatch chicks during the
Summer months, for if you do you are AL
most certain to have big racket with
those abominable little pests-the red
spiders mite.
Feed corn sparingly in the summer to
] old fowls, as it is very heating and will
make the birds too fat, causing unfertile
and often soft-shelled eggs, and when too
fat no eggs at all.
When you see a big shower coming up,
look after the young chicks, as many a
nice chick often perishes during heavy
Sshowers, sometimes even after they are
nearly half grown.
1T is necessary that chicks should have
ample range to develop into large, vigor-
GUS, healthy fowls. There is no better
place for them than to have the run of a
whole orange grove.
Keep the coops well cleaned out and use
A Kerosene oil freely on roosts, etc., and
sprinkle all over the house occasionally.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-06-26

1t is sure death to lice and chicken mites
if freely used, but never put it in the nests
if you wish to save eggs for setting, nor
in the sitting hens nest. z.

They were inclined to think that
cities with an agricultural country to sup
ply have a solid foundation as well as
those depending on hidden ore in the
mountains.
After taking in the paking houses they
made a trip over the Paramount line and
observed that an electric car can climb a
hill with apparently as much ease as to go
down grade.
Returning they went over on Riverside
and saw the Thompson-Housto system
working. They had tried the Sprague
going to Paramount. The trip gave them
an opportunity to see two of the leading
systems work and they seemed greatly
pleased with the work. They expect to be
called upon in few days to make selec-
ton and they seem to think either the
Thompson-Houston or Sprague will give
satisfaction.

to think any Wichita man could show the
