OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

J. F. f., Tnlare Cal.-The act of March 2,
1895. provides that the report of Examining
Surgeons shall specifically state the rating
which, in their judgment, the applicant is en-
titled to.
WIS, Port Jeruis NJ Y-By Executive Or
der of JAM g 1897, the Civil Service law was
extended to Boards of Examining Surgeons
whose fees amount to $500 per annum:
G.. A. Y. Cambridge, Mass.-1t is the duty of
Examining Surgeons in pension cases to make
q thorough examination of each pension appli-
cant ordered to appear before them. Any un-
fair or irconsderats treatment may be COM
planned of to the Commissioner of Pensions.
J. G.. j., Sage, O.-The rate of $72 is payable
for disability of service origin requiring the
regular and constant aid and attendance of an
other person. 1t is immaterial whether the
pensioner,s attendant or attendants are rela-
tives or not. 1t is not necessary for him to
hire someone to take care of him in order to be
entitled to the rate. This is equally true with
regard to pensioners at $50. requiring frequent
and periodical attendance and aid of another
person.
r.. Kausas.-In claims for increase on account
of increase of pensioned disabilities the legal fee
of the attorney of record is So, unless the case
was filed by the attorney before March ., 1881,
in which event the fee would be $40. In all
cases for increase on account of disabilities not

mum fee is $25. Attorneys fees in pension
cases are all payable by the U. IS. Pension Agent
out of the pension money when the claim is
granted, and not otherwise.

ney of record in pension case may be super
coded after one year of -inaction, and when

Pension Bureau with reference to the case after
he has been superseded.
J.B., Columbus, O.-The Picker Pension Bill,
which passed the House of Representatives at
the first session of the last Congress- was not
acted upon by the Senate. We are inclined to
think that some features of the bill will eventu-
ally be enacted into law.

ice or not. To be entitled under this act they

boiler must be attached to the side with an
upper and lower pipe for circulation. A
plumber can attach the boiler for small
sum. The faucet must be at the bottom Of
the boiler, on one side. The drawers con-
tanning the eggs should slide beneath the

screwed to one end of the case IN such
position as to bring the lamp under the
boilers, as shown in Fig. 4. To cool the in
cubator raise the lid, turn down the lamp
and pull the drawers part way out.
Grow Chicks Rapidly.
In raising chicks we must strive to have
them grow as rapidly as possible, 80 as to
have them reach maturity before Winter
sets in, if we expect them to be profitable;
we should also aim to have them Matched in
time to insure this. Keep down the lice,
feed often, with variety, such as corn, chop,
and bran, with about One-tenth linseed meal,
the whole mixed with boiling skim milk
seasoned with salt and occasionally pep
per or sulphur, the whole TO steam over
night and to be fed the first thing in the
morning. Dat meal is excellent while the
chicks are small, and vary the feed by giving
millet seed, sorghum, wheat, barley, ground
bone and meat, with a grassy run, plenty
of grit, fresh water or skim milk, but don't
get them crowded, as they will have to
grow.
The Pekin duck is entirely white, which
gives the feathers q greater value. 1t Is
claimed that the feathers will pay the cost
of killing and dressing for market. The
Pekin is a breed that thriyes well where
there are no ponds, and the young ones
grow rapidly, often reaching half pound
for each week until they are 10 weeks old.
We have known them to gain pound IN a
week when over eight weeks old, but 1t is
considered a good weight to have them
weigh five pounds when 10 weeks old, and
they frequently attain 1t.
Avoid Overlooking.
Overgrown chicks are not those that have
grown rapidly and attained large size, but
the term applies to chicks that cannot stand
on their legs, due to rapid growth. The
difficulty occurs with cockerels more than
bullets, and indicates high feeding. The
chicks have good appetites and are healthy
in every respect, except that they cannot
stand upon their feet, but run around on
their knees. The remedy is to avoid over
feeding them.
Pin Feathers.
The medium-sized turkeys that are in
Feed the fowls the same as you feed the
stock on the systematically and regu-
larly.
A sudden change of food from one thing
to another will often cause the hens to cease
laying.
Keep down expenses in the poultry bust
ness; this is one of the essentials for the
success Of beginner.
A large, bright-red comb shows layer.
A healthy hen shows her condition by the
color of her comb. A purplish-red comb
indicates something disordered. One in
this condition will lay but little.
Where the yards are so constructed that
it is difficult to give the fowls a run upon
the green, they should be furnished with
green food in some form. If the fowls can
not be permitted to run. keep the lawn
mower running.

TIE PROFESSIONAL PATRIOT.
Bg Amos Z. Seaman.

By Amos Z. Seaman.
Patriotism. to be truly genuine. must be
born Of love OF ones country and feiiow-coan-
frvspen It is that feeling, or sensibility, of
saan which prompts him TO intuitively stand
I'D for his country, its institutions, its people.
One writer expressed it forcibly when he said
Our country: may she always be right; but
sur country. right or wrong"
The professional patriot is unlike this. he
is usually foremost in patriotic enterprises
when on fhe popular side Like the Pharisees,
he naradcs has deeds before men. but with such
seeming Inodcsty and coyness that detection of
The wolf in sleeps clothing can only be dis
cerned by the most experienced students OF
human nature.
The professional patriot is promoter of pat
riotic schemes ali OF which are calculated to
benefit himself When 10 be patriot is pos,u-
lar YOU will find him in front row loudly APP

Beyond this has patriotic zeal is perfnnctory.
though at times he may appear the most en-
fhnsiaEisc and earnest worker for his country.
The professional patriot is never q pioneer in
