'em, says Fannie Field in Farm Poul-
try. / should not like to stay cooped Up
in bedroom all day. l am inclined to
think that the chief reason why so
many late melting hens either keel M
and die or else linger along and get
their new suit on so slowly that they
are no good as layers until well on to-
ward spring is because they have 10
sheltered loafnp place For Il week past
l hnve been Watching "A few old Leghorn
hens that arc SO nearly naked they are
not fit to appear before folks, and al
though l don't particularly admire the
Lcghorns as tribe / must say that |
respect these Lcghorns for the good they
have done and Tor the good sense they
now display. They kept right on laying
while their old feathers were dropping
off, but now that their old suits are
gone to almost the last feather and they
have only the newest Of pinfeathers to
cover their hides they have quit laying
and appearing i'll company and spend
their waking hours under that shed,

which is open only to tho south. They
loaf, bat they do not droop. Their eyes
are bright, and barring their lack Of
covering they look well And how they
oatl Ital ways seemed to me that Leg
horn could hold mole food in proportion
to her size than anything else on earth
except hearty, growing boy, but these
Leghorns UutdO all the gastronomic
foats Of all the other Leghorns that l
ever had any acquaintance with. But
they put their food to 20 use, for
can fairly ST. the new feathers grow.
Now, | know that some who read
this Will laugh at the idea of my own
ing a Leghorn and say: "Ah, ha! l
thought you would come around to a
liking for the great egg producers if
you would only get rid of your preju
dices and give them a fair trial. Not
quite so fast. l didn't buy these Leg
horns and don't like them over and
above well. They fell" to me along
with much run down farm, and as
they We're laying | concluded to keep
them while they paid. Now am go
ing to keep them still longer to eX-
pertinent with. In dollars and cents
many of the experiments that / propose
to make not only with Leghorns, but
with other breeds and with fowls of no
breed, with foods, houses breeders,
| etc, will not pay me, but they will be
of benefit to other poultry raisers who
may not have either time or money to
conduct experiments themselves. Much
of the ground | have gone over before
and have given the results to the poul-
try world but tine work was conducted
under other and more favorable condi-
tons Now, / recognize the fact that
poultry experiments to be of practical
benefit to farmers and farmers wives
and daughters who are trying to find
out how to make the farm hens pay
must be conducted under something
like the conditions that prevail OH the
majority of farms.
There are not many who have the
time or opportunity to do this, but to
me has come the chance, and l shall do
my level best to make the most of it,
and if the people who may profit by the
work that / shall do in this line do not
rise up and call me blessed they will be
an ungrateful set.
But to get back to the breeds we have
some of our old favorites-the Barred
Plymouth Rocks-that are as old as the
Lcghorns, already mentioned, and they,
too, are melting, but none Of them set
so nearly naked as the Leghorns, and
most Of them are laying. They don t
drop their feathers all at once, but few
at a time, and the new ones come i'll
the same way, So doubt much if they
really know that anything unusual is
going on. They show it, though, for
the new feathers, SO dark and glossy,
scattered around among the faded and
dull old ones give their plumage the
appearance of il patchwork quilt We
have but one of the Rocks that is really
ragged, and in all our experience with
Rocks we have seen but few that were
very ragged at melting time and they
seemed to mind melting much less
than Leghurns

TREASURY RECEIPTS

Gradually Nearing the Point OF Govern.
ment Expenditures Owing to increasing
business-Some Sources from Which the
Receipts are Largely Increased and the
esases Thereof-Business Adjusting It.
SELF To Present Tariff Conditions.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE treasury
receipts are partaking of the general
business revival, and while they do
not as yet quite reach the point of
equalizing the expenditures, are get
ting nearer striking an even balance
each day. For the ten days of June
the receipts have aggregated So, 49,
900. or $1,000, 900 day, Sundays ex-
Guided, and the expenditures have
been 100000 or only s1,569, 900 in
excess of receipts.
The deficit will be wiped out before
many days, and the end of June is
likely to show for the month an excess
OF s., 900, or So 600, 900 receipts over
expenditures, condition not reached
in any one month for several years by
the treasury.
The deficit for the year, which now
stands at S4s, 326, 900, will be reduced
to s45, 900, 600 or below by June 80.
This turn in the affairs in the treas
ury's condition is accounted for by the
fact that business is adjusting itself to
tariff conditions and that large rev.
enue Is now being received from arti-
Giles that heretofore yielded little as
they were in stock" This is notably
the case as regards sugar, which had
been imported free under the former
tariff law. The free stock is now ex-
hausted and imports have been re-
sumed. The large quantity of whisky
taken out OF bond to escape the in
creased tax of twenty cents a gallon
Is now nearly or completely consumed,
and new whisky is being taken out OF
bond to supply the consumptive de-
mand. The increase in internal rev.
enue receipts shows this plainly.
With all the principal lines of BUSH
ness adjusting themselves to the pres
ent tariff conditions and with an in.
creased volume of business apparent,
| still the revenues of the government
are not quite sufficient to meet fixed
expenditures. The increased revenue
OF $40. 600. 900 or $50, 900, 900 provided by
the senate over the house tariff act,
principally on the items of sugar, iron
ore and coal, makes the deficit just SC
much less, but leaves the treasury
still short by about $50. Ooo, 900 or $780,,
100000 a year of equalling expe ndi.
| lures. This will have to be provided
for next congress.

A DELICATE QUESTION
In Connection with the Matter Of Guard
ing the Florida Coast.

In Connection with the Matter Of Guard
Ing the Florida Coast.
WASHINGTON. June 10.-Oificials o.
the state and navy departments ar
considering the advisability of send
ing war ship to guard the Florida
coast, to prevent the tilibustering ex-
petitions from for leaving the United
States for Cuba, but an embarrassing
question has arisen to prevent immedi-
ate action. BY ordering a vessel to
guard that point Of the coast
line, it is feared that this
government may place itself in the
position of being held responsible by
Spain for neglect in not having done
so before. Such action, it is con-
tended, would be virtual acknowl-
edgment that the United States have
failed to do their duty toward the
Spanish government with which they
are in friendly relations. 1t is also
feared that even if Spain did waive
the right to claim damages for pre-
vious neglect by this country, embar-
eassment would likely arise If any fill
clustering expeditions succeeded in
evading the patrol.
As the matter stands, the officials
of the state and navy departments
think it best TO go slowly, trusting in
the meantime to increased vigilance
on the par. of the revenue cutter serv.
ice of the treasury department.

His Letter Announcing His Intention

REYNOLDS. Ga, June 1.-THE fol-
lowing is the text of the letter writ
ten by Senator Gordon announcing his
intended withdrawal from public life
at the end of his present term as
United senator:
Georgia.:
The many inquiries made of me as
TO my candidacy for the senate at the
next election would seem to Justify
some public announcement of my pur-
pose. k~t
For more than year past. my de-
termination to retire from official life
at the close of my present term of SER
vice has been known to many personal
friends, and the statement that shall
not be a candidate for reelection
seems now due to all who may feel an
interest in the subject. / shall return
to private life with nothing but good
will for all my countrymen-for those
from whose opinions and politics
have felt it my duty to dissent, as
well as the devoted friends who, in
all contests, have been my earnest and
constant advocates.
shall retire with profoundest graf
itude to the generous people who have
solong trusted me, and who have denied
me no honors within their gift.
In resuming the station of private
citizen shall still feel the deepest in
terest in the political and material
welfare of our state and in all efforts
to promote the prosperity and unity Of
the whole country.
(Signed j. B. GORDON.
