INSTRUCTIONS
NEARLY READY
On the Question of Disarmament 1t Will
Be Pointed Gut That the U. S.
Military and Naval Department Is
Far Below What 1t Should Be.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
There is reason to believe. that an inn
portant proposition looking to the
settlement of international disputes by
arbitration will be advanced by the
American delegates at the coming dis
armament conference.
1t is learned on high authority that
the credentials for and instructions to
the American delegates are now being
prepared by Secretary Hay, and that
they will be ready for submission to
the president for his approval when be
returns to Washington from his South
ern trip. These instructions will be a
complete exposition of the position oi
this government on the question of dis
armament and arbitration.
So far as the proposition for general
disarmament of the nations of the world
is concerned, it will be the duty of the
American delegates to explain and tc
show that the United States naval and
military establishment is far below
what it should be, and besides that thil
government does not intend to hamper

ADVANCE PRICE
OF SILVER
Prime Object of the Shelters Trust,
aud One 1t Proposes to Carry Out
Immediately.

Topeka, Kan, March 22.-Mr. John
T. Graham, of Denver, who owns ex-
tensive gold and silver mines in Colorado
and New Mexico and copper mines in
Utah, passed through Topeka today on
his way to his home. Mr. Graham
operates smelling plants at his various
mines, and he has been in New York
in attendance at the meeting of smelter
operators which resulted in the perfection
of gigantic trust with capital of
$65, 100000.
While in this city Mr.. Graham made
the important statement that the first
step made by the new trust would be to
advance the price of silver 10 per cent.
'tTh1s is trust that will prove bene-
fetal instead of oppressive" said Mr..
Graham. ''All the smelter operators
who entered into the combine signed a
contract agreeing not to raise the price
on the treatment of ore for ten years.
The advance in silver will be made
within very short time, just as soon as
the combine can be perfected"

Buff Turkeys.

l have raised buff turkeys for
three years, aud will say that as
practical farm bird they have no
equal in any turkeys that l have
ever raised, says a writer in Mich
igan Farmer. The rich buff does
not show dirt as white does, and
they are a larger'sbird than the
white Holland, and are Just as easy
to raise, and do not stay around the
barn so close that they do not
thrive unless fed all summer, but
are between the bronze and white
Holland. They never 60 to the
neighbors, but still get a good liv-
ing in the fields.
Then the bronze are so fond of
roaming; you never know where the
hen is. She lays all over the farm;
visits the farmers all around. And
in regard to extra size, l will say
that by Christmas my bluffs will
weigh as much as brouzes, and be
fat and fine, while the bronze tom
is all lean and lank till the middle
of February, and, in fact, at that
time the market quotes heavy toms

hens or light toms. l have a pair

The Young PulIets.

If the young pullets for next year
were Matched in March they should
now be large enough to make a Sc
lection. 1t is important that they
grow rapidly, so as to have them
begin laying in November. Do not
be tempted to keep ali of them un-
less you can give them plenty of
room, for crowding will do more to
retard them than anything else.
Among the pullets will be noticed
some that are apparently stunted
and which do not keep up with the
others. Sell them off with the

FOR BEGINNERS.
Observations by an Expert
q Care and Breed Both I'm
p0rtant.

Ii is stated there IS more III
the care than in the breed.
Phere is truth in this, provided
the. stock is right. We know
pSxitively there are some chick
ems that could not be fed or cared
for so as to make them pay as
layers of an average mum Der OF
eggs in year. Before wasting
good food and time, one must be
sure he has stock that will re-
spond to this care.
Some breeder has written that
he would not want to buy stock
without visiting a fancier's yard
and learning just what he had;
that he would not wish to buy
eggs for Matching from roupy
stock. A man who has but one
or two breeding pens of birds
and is not experienced, might
sell from stock out of condition.
We would have a very hard
opinion of a man who would do
so knowingly. The breeder
who has hundreds of birds and
: makes specially of certain
breeds is usually to be relied
upon. Under any circumstances
we would prefer seeing stock,
but if we had some party in mind
whMn we supposed to be reliable
we would nothesitate to purchase
stock or eggs, stating just what
we wanted, and asking if the
the breeder could fill the order.
A good minded person would
rather lose a sale than cheat a
customer knowingly.
= AS to feeding clover, alfalfa or
sugar beets, we consider them OF
more value then pototoes for
poultry. We have always had
lpotatoes in winter to boil and use
with grain for mashes. We
have tested potatoes, feeding
them to pullets in the mash
The pullets to which we gave
less potatoes did better than the|
potato-fed birds. While we usu-
ally have a good many bushels OF
potatoes raised on our ground,
we have decided to use less than
ever this winter.
We know a man who fed his
chickens almostentirely on boiled
potatoes. They had free range
on ground that was fine gravel
soil, where bugs and worms are
seldom found. His stock was as
good as that Of another party
having the same kind, who fed
right, and got fine results, while
the potato-fed chicken laid no
eggs.
The Importance of variety !
of the right kind of food for
poultry is not always understood.
If we had to select grain it
would be wheat, andagreen food,
alfalfa. Hens will lay and do
well, but not their best, on this
food. Green cut bone is very
important. we think it just as
cheap to feed variety, and it
pays so much better. Biddy
