1t cannot have escaped the notice
of readers Of the Advertiser, OF
which Mr.. @. g. Ballentyue is man
ager that that sheet has, for months
past, been taking the planters of the
Islands to task for employing Asia
tic labor. 1t claimed all the credit
for the fitzgerald crusade in favor
of American labor for the plsnta-
tions, aud has been a vigorous ex-
ponent OF the advantages American
farmers could gain by leaving their
own circumscribed field Of action in
the small and unfertile United
Slater, aud by locating in these
large and beautiful Islands where
thousand Of acres OF virgin lava
fields are waiting for the pregnant
touch OF Yankee enterprise to yield
their latent treasures OF fruit and

any length of time read, and smiled.
They knew that the Advertiser
editorial product was grown, like
our sugar for export. They knew
that noue of the clique that that
sheet represents had the remotest
idea of cuftailng their profits by
employing Americans They did
not see the Government advertise
for white or native men to take the
places OF its Chinese and Japs en-
ployed in Thomas Square and the

All the time that the Advertiser
kept twanging its Anti. Chinese harp
the willy celsstials were pouring in

the stream is still .fowing in. Pro-
minent Government officials, as if TO
give the lie to the apparent siucer-
ity of the white labor crusade, kept
on building houses by the aid OF
Chinese mechanics. But oh, most

show to Fitzgerald and the world the

SELLS MICE FOR A LIVING.
French Woman Whose Clients include
Some Great Physicians.

Verify one-half of the world does not
know how the other half lives. Equal
ly true is it that never before were
there so many curious ways of making
a living as there are at present, says
the New York Herald. There have
been physicians in Paris for several
centuries, but not until quite recently
did any of them think it necessary to
make a contract by the terms of which
they are to receive a certain number
general public was rather surprised
when it heard of this contract, for the
reason that the physicians, who act in
this matter as a committee of the fac
ulty of medicine, agree to pay a good
price for the mice, whereas there are
many persons in Paris who would be
only too glad to make the doctors a
present of these ravenous animals.
The physicians, however, know what
they are about They want mice, but
they don't want ordinary, everyday
mice. Only cultured, well fed, dainty
mice will suit them, and they have
given the contract to Nine Alexandra,
because they know that she is the only
person in Paris who can supply or
demand any number of such desirable
animals. Yes, Nine. AleXandre's bust
ness in life is to furnish mice to Rich
ct. Chantemesse and several other lead
ing specialists in Paris and elsewhere.
She also keeps rabbits and guinea pigs,
but mice are her specially 1t is fif-
teen years since she first began to sup
DIV animals to the Pasteur Institute,
the Municipal laboratory and several
other such places. She has hardly any
competitors, and she has more orders
than she can we'll fill. She feeds her
mice exclusively on bread and milk.
Her clients insist that the animals
must be white and plump, and she finds
this diet the best for them. When
they are three months old they are
ready for the doctors, and she seldom
has any on hand after that age. She
disposes of these hapless victims, not
only to her regular clients in Paris,
but also TO several persons in London
and Geneva. The little mice are well
able to stand long journey, and they
are as fresh when they arrive in Lon
don as they were when they left Paris.
Madam is never short of mice. At
present she has about 1000 on hand,
and as these animals multiply very
rapidly she will have double that num-
Der in an incredibly short time.

The X Raw and the Hen.

The Poultry Monthly says: Verify,
"the world do move" and in no direc-
ton is this fact more pronounced than
in the application of scientific discoy-
cry to the practical affairs of everyday
life. An enlightened poultry culture
is also feeling Quickening OF its
pulses along new and advanced lines,
and the result is certainly promising
for a great future. Every new idea
helps the race. No sooner is the X or
Roentgen ray practical demonstra-
ton, than it at once finds use in
thousand different directions. 1t has
been applied to the chicken business.
Mr.. Rudolph Spreckels, the millionaire
Hawaiian planter of San Francisco,
owns a bonanza poultry ranch In Son
oma county, on which are running
some 10000 fowls. Now out OF that
number there are necessarily a good
many sterile or barren females-the
drones of the poultry yards. If the
Roentgen rays will locate dime in a
small boys stomach, why will it not
SHOW up" a non-laying hen? No
sooner thought than acted on. A test
case was made with twelve chickens,
eight of which were found with eggs
and four barren. A subsequent post
mortem examination confirmed the de-
duction of the X rays. What follow
ed? Bless your dear heart, an X ray
plant was added to the establishment
and all females put through the test
Result? There was a glut in the local
poultry market, and corresponding
reduction in Mr.. Spreckels' feed bill. Is
this not a practical application of sci
ence to ones bank account?

Cation Seed Meais.1

Charles d. Woods, director OF the
Maine experiment station, says; Much
has been said and written relative to
the use of cotton-sced meal as cattle
food. Nearly all Investigators agree III
giving it high value and urge dairy
men to use this material not only De-
cause it is cheap source OF protein
but because it also has a high manur-
ial value. Practical feeders diner
greatly in their estimates OF cotton-
seed meal. Some seem to use 1t very
satisfactorily for while and latter
conclude that the feed is not wen
adapted for their purposes. Occasion
ally feeder observes that the health
of his animals is affected by the reed
ing OF cotton-seed too freely, and II
sometimes happens that even after AMI
mails have been fed for months with
apparent success that they are inJurSd
by its continued use. 1t has also hap
pened that cows fed upon cotton-seed
meal do well for time and that later
the milk flow is diminished without ap-
parent cause. There are at present no
other concentrated feeding stuffs which
vary so much in composition as COT
ton-seed meals from different sources
and different mills. Within three weeks
the station has examined samples vary
ing from % per cent to over So per cent
of protein. This great variation in dill
ferent lots Of cotton-seed meal may ex-
plain the different estimates OF diner
ent practical feeders and Of the same
feeders at different times. II cow is
fed cotton-seed meal containing 70
per cent protein and is then fed an
equal weight of meal containing 52 per
cent, it is evident that the amount OF
protein which she receives will have
been doubled by the change. If she mas
been fed up to her full capacity in the
first instance, such an increase must re-
suit disastrously. On the other hand,
changing from cotton-seed OF hlgn
protein content to one OF low protein
content would diminish the milk HOW
unless the amount of meal fed is cor
respondingly increased. II it is cor
rect supposition that much OF the trou-
Bile arising from the use OF colton-seeu
meal is due to its varying in compost
ton, this can be readily overcome by
the feeder. Cotton-seed meal like most
concentrated feeding stuffs cannot be
legally sold in the state Of Maine I'M
less the chemical composition is stated
upon the package. From the known
composition of different lots it will be
possible to so adjust the amount fed
that the size of the ration as measured
by it's content of protein will be kept
unchanged. The variations in compos-
ition are so great and the matter Is
such a serious one to the consumer that
he. for his own protection, should re-
fuse to purchase concentrated CONNER
cial feeding stuffs which are not licens-
ed as required by law.

Of the butter shipped direct to Eng
land from New Hampton, Ia, the Ga
zette of that place had the following
to say: Some weeks ago several
creameries in this part Of the county
made ND car load Of butter which
was shipped to England direct from
this city as trial shipment. This but
ter has safely arrived and is reported
in excellent condition except one lot.
At the time it was shipped and during
it's transit the weather was the hottest
it has been in two years and the COM
mission men to whom it was sent de-
cided it was better to put it in cold
storage for two weeks in Liverpool be-
fore it was offered for sale, so no re-
turns have been received, but there is
no doubt that it will bring a good price
when put on the market. Another car
load will soon be shipped from here to
the same parties by the different
creameries of the county. A car load
of $50 butter boxes have just arrived
in which to pack the butter. The
boxes are a much better lot than the
others were and are all put together so
that the creamery people will not have
to nail them together

Now that attention to desirable bacon
qualities of hogs Is growing there
seems to be disposition to grow for
bacon purposes an animal very diner
ent in type from the breeds to which
"a streak of fat and streak of lean
are almost unknown, says Texas STOCK
and Farm Journal. OF late, agricultur-
al papers have discussed the Medium
Yorkshire and the Tamworth, and the
latter is growing in favor as bacon
hog among English breeders and seems
destined to take very important place.
They are little known in this country
and probably there is not one in Texas.
Here they are known only by descrip-
ton, and to Judge from that they seem
to be a reversion to the old-fashioned
breed of SANDY shotes" with long
shouts, such as are yet known in the
mountain regions of Kentucky and
West Virginia and on the poor lands OF
the South. Would it not be strange II
the razor-b back boar should become the
valuable sire for the production OF ami
mails that will furnish the tables Of the
rich with their choicest and most cost
ly meats? Yet it is certain that no
other bacon has such excellent flavor as
that which is found in those parts of
the country where the Poland-China
and the Berkshire and other so-called
improved" breeds of swine are I'M
known. The razor-back has his merits.
A recent writer has called attention to
the fact that the Anglo-Saxon and Ger
man, pork eating races, are highest and
strongest in the ranks of civilization
1t is not intended here to assert that
pork has caused their excellence, but
the best pork they have was probably
the razor-back Of the days when Their
pre-eminence was established, and that
they got his meat by hunting him with
dogs and the weapons Of the chase.
