Care of Turkey COOps.

A turkey hates to get into her coop
at night unless it has been moved dur
ing the day, writes Miss e. J. Pine in
Turkeys and How to Grow them" If
it is changed every day she soon re-
CARDS it as a safe place to keep her
little family over night. Should it rain
in the night, change it that it may be
clean for the day. Filth is a deadly
foe to young turkey in confinement.
I have always kept my coops on the
ground. An experienced raiser who
has tried floors prefers the ground, as
it is more natural and healthful.
think 1t is a good plan to keep a box
skunk trap set at night near the coops.
When the turkeys get large enough to
fly over a stone wall, they will wander
further away, and there is danger from
hawks and foxes. l keep track of their
whereabouts as we'll as I can, which
takes me outdoors no more than is nec-
essary for my good health. have had
them so wild that they have caused me
considerable trouble, but it was caused
by introducing new blood through
strange hens instead of the gobbler.
The latter is the better way.
Choice and Ordinary Butter.-Dairy-
men should not forget that the dis
elimination between choice and ordi-
nary grades Of butter is becoming more
clearly and sharply defined each year.
1t is only the best that is always in
demand and will sell at good prices
when there is surplus of the inferior
grades, that either are not wanted at
all or else must be sold at sacrifice.
We can hardly expect that under these
circumstances this order Of things will
be changed or improved upon; it is
merit that is going to win and If the

is usually very thick, sometimes one
sixteenth of an inch. The contents
resemble that Of hens egg, and
amount to forty fluid ounces. The
period of incubation is variously given
at from thirty-eight to forty-two days
and doubtless depends upon the vital
ity and development of the chick. The
average in California is thirty-nine
days. The young chick can be heard
in it's shell days before it appears. 1t
is sometimes necessary to assist the
chick in breaking the shell.-Ex.
Raise the Quality OF Butter.-The de-
mand in this country is for a higher
grade product, and that demand will
grow, and butter-makers must see to
it that the demand is supplied Those
who do this will get closely in line for
success, while those who fail to do it
will have to fall out Of the procession
and get no chance to hang on even to

LOOKS AT THE BRIGHT SIDE.
Minister Barrett Says Gloomy Fore
bodings Not Justified.

London, April 19.-John Barrett, for
mer United States Minister to Siam,
who has just arrived from Manila. en-
phaticany declares that the gloomy
forebodings in some quarters relative
to the Philippines are not justified by
the facts.
THE United States naval and mill
tary authorities" he says, have done
everything possible in the difficult and
exceptional circumstances, and the
united support Of all parties in the
United States in the present Juncture
will enable them to bring matters in
the Philippines TO quick and lasting
settlement, honorable to the mother
land. Should the Filipinos, however,
who are kept well Informed, acquire
the idea that prolOngation OF hostlll-
ties would affect politics in the United
States advantageously to them, the war
would be more prolonged"
With regard to the statements that
the Minnesota volunteers and others
wished to return to the United states,
Mr.. Barrett said he had talked with
the officers of all the regiments and
with many of the men, and that While
they would welcome d return to the
United States as soon as their places
could be filled by regulars, there was
no such feeling as one of inSubordlna-
ton, dependency or discomfort. On
the contrary, all We're actuated, ne as
serted. by intense patriotism and not a
man wished TO leave the Philippines
until he had seen the campaign through
or could leave the work to regular
troops.
In the opinion of Mr. Barrett the
Filipino, as soon as he has had time
to digest the recent successes of Gen
eral Otis and General Lawton, and to
become convinced of American superb
GRITTY. viii settle down to life of
peaceful and progressive citizenship.

COL. BRYAN ON IMPERIALISM
NATION HAS CoNTENDED
AGAINST CONQUEST.
Those Who Oppose Retention of the
Islands Plead Not For the Filipi-
nos But For the American People.

Fresno, Cal, April 19.-William j.
Bryan has written letter to the Fres-
no Democrat. giving his views on i'm
perialism. The letter is as follows:
'In answer to your request for an
article on the Philippine question for
your paper, 1 regret to say that the
pressure of work upon me at this time
makes it impossible for me to write
at length.
Mr. Mckinley announced in his Bos-
ton speech that the policy of the gov
eminent respecting the Philippines was
in the hands of the American people.
1t is a question which the people must
settle, and much depends upon its
settlement.
II think it can be shown from a
pecuniary standpoint that it will cost
US more to conquer the Filipinos and
keep them in subsection than we shall
be able to make out of the enterprise.
and that the money which does return
from the Philippines will not find its
way to the pockets of those who supply
sons for the army, and, through taxa
ton, furnish the SinewS of war. 1t
also invites Oriental immigration to
compete with American labor. but there
is a higher view to take of it than the
money view.
THE principle of conquest is wrong
Our nation has steadily contended
against it, and it is impossible to cal
culate the far-reaching effect upon our
people of a doctrine that would sub
stitute force for reason in the deter
mination of the nations policy. Those
who oppose Imperialism plead, not for
the FilipinOs, but for the American
people. Our nation is strong enough
to do harm, but it ought to be too great
to do wrong.
II feel confident that the sober sec
ond thought of the American people
will sustain those who believe that the
Filipinos should be treated like Gu
bans namely, given their independence
and be protected from outside inter-
ference"

OTHER wOMEN IN THE CASE.
Move of Defense In the Trial of Mrs.
George.

Canton, O., April 19.-The defense in
the trial Of Mrs. George today at
tempted to introduce other women into
the case, and to show SaXton's rela-
tions to them by proving their presence
in his block and at his office. The
court barred out all such testimony,
except in regard to Mrs. Althouse, say
ing that SaXton's relations to other
women were not competent in this de-
Tense. This, it is believed. will have
tendency TO shorten the trial, as it
keeps out the testimony of number
of witnesses who have been called.
Prosecution Attorney Pomerene can
not find in the court records the de-
positions of Mrs. George an@ of two
women in Hanoverton. which were
taken for Sample c. Georges case
against SaXton for damages for the
alienation of the affections of the for
mer's wife. He claims Attorneys SteT-
ling and Welton for the defense have
them, and he has appealed to the court
to have the papers brought into the
court, claiming that they are part
of the official court records.
Seventeen more witnesses were called
TO-DAY, including the county commits
sioners. who are wanted to testify on
the question of a reward for the finding
of the revolver.

claim they were robbed of 81. 10000 by
the Spaniards at Manila, arrived here
today from Washington, where they
had several conferences with President
Mckinley in regard to the best way of
governing the natives Of the Philip
pines. They also sought to have their
property restored to them and applied
for American citizenship. They say af-
ter due investigation the president de-

They are of the opinion that an indie
pendent government in the Philippines
would not endure, but they think that
the people can be entrusted with local
government.
While in Washington they suggested
that President Mckinley should take
into consideration conditions as he
found them in the Philippines and rec
ognize the influence of the property
class. winning them over by doing jus
tice to their claims to have their prop
erty restored. If the president followed
this suggestion they think the war
wOuld end speedily.

Trouble Was Brought About By Res
olution Calling Upon the Attor-
ney General to Institute Proceed

Receiving Interest On State Money

Harrisburg, Pa, April 19-The Nyce
resolution, calling upon the attorney
general to prosecute all those, including
ex-senator Quay, who had been charg-
ed with receiving interest on stale
money, almost precipitated a riot in
the senate today. 1t was bitter fight
between two factions, and finally the
resolution was laid on the table by Il
vote of SO to 6.
The first speaker was Senator Gray
Quay. He had scarcely begun his
speech before Henry (anti-Quay) de-
manded the question. Brown of Law
renee (Quay) turned to Henry aud
said:
I'VE do not propose to vote for lie
Grady then proceeded. declaring that
the tender of such resolution while
the trial of a great cause was pending,
was in bad taste, and an attempt TO
prejudice the case. He asserted there
was no occasion to instruct the attor-
ney general.
Brown of Lawrence said it would be
monstrous for the Legislature to pass
judgment on man whose liberty was
now at stake in court of justice.
Lying, Malicious Hounds.
81 have the word of Senator Quay
himself" said Brown, that he never
received a cent of interest on state
money, and 1 take his statement as
against all the vile libels of the lying,
malicious hounds who have been
bounding him for years"
Merrick of Tioga charged that the
men fighting Quay were guerillas, and
that the object of the resolution was to
prejudice the minds of the jurors IN the
Quay case.
Flynn walked over to Merrick and
glanced over the copy of the resolution
To this Merrick objected. Grady re-
marked:
Why don't you let the speaker
alone?"
Why don't you mind your own bust
ness?" said Flynn angrily
THAT is my business" rejoined
Grady.
But it is not" replied Flynn.
you tend to your own business, for
L will have no interference from you. :"
Called On sergeant-at-arms.
All this time the chairman was rap
ping for order. Finally he called upon
self to the bar. Thereupon Flynn began
to walk over to his seat.
1--WE will have you seated" said
Grady, whose face was crimson from
anger.
But you can't do that" was the re-
ply.
Z don't want to- said Grady. that
is a matter between you and the ser
geant-at-armS."
Flynn took his seat and Osbourne
arose and said:
Il viii offer a resolution censuring
Flynn. L never saw such a scene in
my life in the senate of Pennsylvania. -
We'll, offer the resolution declared
Flynn, as he kicked the drawer of his
desk.
With this the incident ended. and on
motion of Cochran the resolution was
tabled.
