the web-fcoted fowls large artificial
ponds and Winning brooks have been
constructed. through which there is
flowing a constant stream of water.
One peculiar feature of this farm is
that all OF the fowls are raised by ar
tiflcial means. The incubator house is
long. low structure, excellently ven
tilated and lighted and kept at an
even temperature throughout the year.
Each year. between the LIST of De-
cember and Jan. Is, competent judges
visit the farm and score" all the
stock. When this is completed such
birds as are not up to the standard
or are disqualified by any little mark
or imperfection are at once Grated and
shipped to market. Although eggs can
be Matched at any time OF the year,
most of the eggs are put into the in
cubator in February, March, and APP
ril.
There are practically two farms in
one of these big ranches, what Is known
az farm No. being devoted princi-
pally TO the Matching of eggs and the
raising of fancy poultry. Farm No.
is given up almost exclusively to the
raising OF Pekin ducks and Toulouse
geese. There are altogether between
5000 and 10000 fowls raised annually
on this farm, and they are sent all
over the earth. In the past season
eggs and birds have even been shipped
to Glasgow, Scotland; Dublin. Ireland;
Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Nordly,

Goats are not timid in their nature
and are easily domesticated. There
are two kinds of goats-the cashmere
goat and the plain goat. The former
is worked up into cashmere shawls
and cashmere bouquet. The latter is
not. The cashmere bouquet of COM
merce is not made of the common goat.
1t is good thing that it is not. a
goat that has always been treated with

Grand-Hoyt's '|White Flag" Tonight.
Hoyts "a Milk White Flag" that merry
satire on citizen soldiery, returns tonight
to the Grand Opera House and will be seen
also tomorrow afternoon and evening. "A
Milk White Flag is popular with theater-
goers because it seems to furnish very
nearly what they want in the way of
amusement. From the rise to the fall of
the curtain there is not dull moment in
this clever satire. Witty dialogue, pleasing
specialties, catchy music and charming
dances are all woven together into a con-
tinual pleasure provoking entertainment,
which, between the laughter and applaud
ing keeps the audience busy. Playwright
Hoyt frankly admits that "A Milk White
Flag was not aimed to teach any moral
and is not burdened with much plot. What
little plot there is to it is never allowed to
stand in the way of the fun-making pro-
clivties OF it's interpreters. With its brass
band, pretty vivandieres, its shapely chorus
girls and gayly uniformed military Off
GERS who never fight, and sparkling music,
1t furnishes merry hotch-patch that is an
excellent antidote for the blues. The old
favortes have been retained, including

DAMON PITCHED WELL,
But the MilIers Bunched Hits and
Won with Ease.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 3.-Not even the
skilful champions could head off the vic
torious Millers in their meteoric flight to-
ward the pennant. The Hoosiers connected
oftener with the ball. but their hits were
cot as long for one thing, and nowhere
near as timely. Luck played a great part
in the result of the game for whereas the
Millers punched all their hits in the fifth
and ninth innings, the Hoosier5 kept drib-
bling theirs out in the most ineffective
style. Damon kept his head throughout
the game and could hardly be said to have
been knocked out of the box, though there
are two doubles and two homers charged
against him. The visitors, with the excep-
ton of Hogriever, fielded better than their
opponents. Their errors, barring Hogriev-
er's misplay in the fifth inning, were not
costly, while the Hoosier boys would not
have had over three runs had it not been
for three bad errors. AS a whole, the game
not seem to mind account of the fair

ments. There We're about 4500 more people

creation of men of wealth.
