The other day Ole Hanson had trouble
with belicose dog that belonged to his
neighbor, Russian by the name of Havva
Drenkovitskey. The Swede shot the dog
as soon as he discovered that he was not
friendly to him, and the sequel found lodg

the prosecution he evidenced a sense of jus
tice in framing replies that is rarely wit

They Claim that One Monitor Could Bot.se
Up the Spanish Fleet at Santiago de Cnbs
Army Officers Demand Conveys for
Troop Ships.
Washington, May 21.-All the news
that was given out Friday at the navy
department was comprised in one
short bulletin stating that the depart
ment had information, believed to be
authentic, that Admiral Cervera with
his Spanish flying squadron was at
Santiago de Cuba. This went to con-
firm the newspaper reports and also
the Madrid cablegram published Fri
day morning, the latter rather I'M
usual circumstance, for the Spanish
bulletins have been notably deceptive
ever since the flying squadron left
Cadiz. On looking over the charts
of Santiago harbor the experts
discovered that the place would be a
veritable rat trap for the Spaniards
with its narrow entrance, in which a
single American monitor could bottle
up the whole Spanish fleet.
Gen. Miles had another long con-
sultation yesterday with Secretary
Long and these repeated meetings are
been reached in the campaign where
the army finds it necessary to call upon
the navy for conveys to take troops to
Cuba. This work is extra hazardous
at present. Conveys always are ex-
posed to destruction at the hands of d
determined enemy, and with squad
ron of fleet Spanish cruisers and tor
pedo gunboats of great speed lying in
wait somewhere near Cuba, nothing
but the most formida bic convoy, such
as would be afforded by all of Samp-
sons and Schley's ironclads save the
monitors, would give a reasona BILE de-
gree of protection against attack.
There are indications that the mill
tary expedition will make its real start
from Key West, unless the atmosphere
clears through the destruction or dis
appearance from Cuban waters of the
Spanish feet. If the start is made from
Port Tampa the ships with their heavy
loads of troops and stores will be ex.
posed to attack for at least 80 hours,
not allowing for the possibility of
spending much additional time off the
Cuban coast waiting for an opportuni
ty to land. On the other hand, if the
start is made from Key West the final
stage of the journey will be reduced to
the daylight hours of one dav.

Don't feed much, if any, corn in hot

If you overfeed you will have fat hens

The object now is to hatch as many

PORTABLE SHEEP SHED.
Affords Protection from Flies In Sum-
mer and Can lie Moved to the
Feeding Yard In Winter.

A. d. S. asks me to give plan for
portable shed that can be used for
shade and a protection from flies ir
summer and be moved to the feeding
yard in the winter.
Take two two by eight pieces, any
length desired-we use 16 feet. Bevel
one edge at both ends so that it can
be moved in either direction. Two or
three feet from either end, depending
upon length of sills, spike an upright
post, one three feet high. the other
four, so as to give slope to the roof.
Place posts of similar lengths upon
the other sill. The posts on either sill
may be tied together by a fencing
board or shingling lath, as no weight
will be thrown upon them. Next girt
the two parts together by pieces cor
responding to plates. These should be

FRAME OF PORTABLE SHED.

not less than two by six or two by eight
Spike these TO the posts so that the
weight of the roof falls upon them edge
wise. A brace from the plates to the
foot of each post makes it ready for the
roof. Pine boards make a very satisfac-
tory roof. If the shed is to be used in
the winter the boards should be lapped
at least two inches at either edge and
nailed tightly, the nails being clinched
below. Where such a shed is to be
used for summer shade only, the boards
need not be Tapped. 1t may be in
closed to suit ones fancy. I leave it
open. For summer protection from
flies it is important that the roof be
very low, as the gadfy is shy of such a
shield.
l think it highly advisable TO replace
shade trees in fields that are some
times plowed, with such sheds as this.
By moving them every week or ten days
very rich spots will be made during a
summer. Then there is not the danger
from lightning.
They may we'll be used in the winter
also. Where there is no accumulation
of manure under foot and good circula-
tion of air, as there always may be un-
der such a shed, sheep may be crowded
very closely for short periods during
storms. Such a shed 16 feet square
may well accommodate 50 sheep during
a rainstorm. Kept upon a tough sod,
the flock might always have a clean
place. During many winters in this
latitude, or farther south, this would
make an entirely satisfactory provision
for wintering sheep, provided spring or
well water was convenient. 1t would
not require as much time and labor to
move such a shed as it would to haul
and scatter the manure if the sheep
were confined to a barn stable, and
there would be no loss, which is un-
avoidable under any other system.
| notice that have neglected TO say
that the roof boards should be as long
as the sills, or even longer. Use such
length that they will extend three feet
beyond the plates. The roof will not
then sag at the middle so badly. The
accompanying cut will make the con.
struction plain.-H. z. Miller, in Ohio

More Interest In Horses.

There is no question about the re-
vival of interst in horse breeding, and it
is safe to say that more mares will be
bred this year than for any year since
1898. Nor is the reason for this state of
affairs obscure. Horses are getting
scarce - good ores, especially - and
again bring prices that pay for their
oats. The prices in the country have
advanced more than in the market as a
rule, and it is hard to pick up horses
and make any money shipping them
where they could be had very cheap two
or three years ago.-National Stock

The man in the southwest had stolen the

should have been thankful that he had

the verdict had been duly announced.

Key West, May 21.-Fifteen cases of

A secret chamber was found in the
hold of the Argonauta that contained
- cases of ammunition, over 100 Maui
ser rifles and other war stores. The
find" was made by the United States
marshafs officers.
The discovery of the war supplies on
board the Argonauta will not change
the status of her case before the prize
court, as it had already been decided
before learning of the find, that the
steamer was legitimately a prize of
war, no claims having been filed by the
owners of the ship or cargo. A like
decision was rendered in the cases of
the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar and
schooners Candidita, Mathilda and So
phia. The only formality remaining
to make these vessels the absolute
property of the United States is the
confirmation by the federal court au-
thorities of the findings of the prize
commission.
The cases of the Buena Ventura, the
first capture of the war, and Pedro
Catalina, Miguel Jover, Panama and
