OPINIONS DIFFER ON
Potatoes as a Food For P0uI'
try.

On several occasions we have
seen this subject very freely dis
cussed in the correspondence
columns of one or other of the
poultry journals, some people
contending that the analysis of
the potato shows it to be a very
unfit food for use, while others
maintain that practical expert
ence proves it to be most useful.
We favor the latter.
Judiciously given and blended
with a little common sense, we
consider the potato one of the
best additions to our fowls bill
of fare. Only the day before
writing these notes case came

under our notice where two
neighbors both kept fowls and
both had the same number, va
riety and Accommodations. From
twenty-four hens one was get
ting twenty eggs a day, the other
ten. The former attributed the
better laying of his birds to the
use of a boilerful of warm pota-
toes mixed with his morning
meal. 1t has always been our
custom to use potatoes in some
form or another, and we look up
on them as both good and cheap.
One plan we often adopt in the
winter time is to instruct the
poultry lad to place boilerful on
the kitchen range every evening
after tea; these cook during the
evening, and by the time the fire
goes down are done, and the lit
tie heat left and their own steam
keeps them warm, and thus they
are ready for mixing with the
meal in the morning earlier than
they would be if not prepared
over night. At other times;
when not feeding potatoes as
above, we have a boilerful served
round whole as an extra" at |
and find they are much |

Nest Eggs.

This is one of the questions,
that like moon farming, has
divided following. From ear
Hest childhood we were taught
that nest egg was as essential
for the production of eggs as a
nest. We have not believed the
nest egg necessary since we grew
to manhood, and for over thirty
years we have not practiced keep
ing a nest egg in the nest. There
are so many things against the
practice and but few in it's favor.
There are some breeds of chick
ems which do not like to have all
the eggs removed from their
nests, such as Bantams and a few
other breeds, and keeping nest
eggs in their nests is supposed
to keep them doing business at
the old stand.
An egg is as perishable as but
ter and if it is left in the nest
any length of time its value for
culinary use is deprecated. 1t.
may do we'll enough to sell, as
some look at it, but no power on
earth can make it as good for
culinary use as it was when it
was fresh laid.
If nest eggs have to be kept,
the porcelain eggs will answer
every purpose and they will not
spoil nor break to teach the hens
to eat eggs. Medicated nest
eggs are of doubtful value as
there is a feeling of doubt as to
the medicine employed, and us
ually they smack of no chicks
from nest where they have been
used, If it is really necessary 10
use nest eggs why not use sew
eral Of them at one time in a sin
gle nest? ...
We have found in our exper-
fence that hens have favorite
nest and they will return to it to
lay, nest egg or no nest egg, and
when they become broody they
seem to want to sit on the hay or
anything the nest contains, eggs
or no eggs. And we do not lose
sight of the fact that a nestful Of
eggs is always inviting to hen.
She will enjoy adding another to
the store and will leave the nest
with her congratulations ex-
pressed in an audible manner.
We would suggest therefore,
that if nest eggs have to be en-
| ployed that real eggs be not used
for that purpose. All eggs that
are to be sold should be gathered
while fresh, and kept so until
they are sold or used. If eggs
were gathered frequently and
not permitted TO remain in the
nests long, there would be fewer
instances Of hens eating eggs

THE ADMIRAL DEWEY a WRECK
Topeka Disregarded Fruit Steamers
Distress signals.

Boston, Feb. 15.-The Boston Fruit Com
panys new steamer Admiral Dewey, Capt
McGrath, bound from Port Antonio, Ja-
maica, to this port, ran on the rocks at
Cuttyhunk at 40 o'clock this morning,
and is in great danger - being a total
wreck.
The eighteen passengers on board we're
safely transferred TO the steamer John G.
Hill, which came UP this afternoon, and
with their baggage and the mail, were
taken to Newport, r. l., from which point
they were brought to this city tonight
by a special train, over the New Haven
Railroad.
Capt. McGrath and the officers and crew
of the vessel still remain on board and
every effort win be made to save the ves-
sci, but as she lies in very exposed posi-
ton and with a large hole in her bottom,
any severe blow from the southeast will
undoubtedly cause her to so to pieces
short time after the Dewey went
ashore the Cuttyhunk fife saving crew
came off in their boats and offered to take
the passengers ashore, but they elected to
stay on board.
A few hours after daybreak the United
States cruiser Topeka was sighted coming
from the westward and signals of distress
were at once set TO attract her attention.

Does Not Pass.

Does Not Pass.
Washington, Feb. 15-The Senate COM
mittee on military affairs, after several
conferences to-day, reached an agreement
that the army reorganization bill should
be reported tomorrow practically without
recommendation.
The committee, with Mr.. Proctor absent
in Cuba, was deadlocked on the question
of favorably reporting the measure
The Democrats simply agreed to let the
bill be reported, reserving the right to
make statement of their position. and
showing the committee to be evenly dl-
vided
The President has conveyed assurances
to some of the party leaders in Congress-
in addition TO those given last week. that
he win certainly call Congress together
in extra session if it fails TO pass the
army reorganization bill at the present
session.
In answer to repeated inquiries, the ad-
ministration has been obliged to decline
all propositions looking to the tiding over
of the needs of the army by passing a
joint resolution simply extending the ap-
preparation on the basis of the present
organization holding that this device
would be utterly inadequate to meet the
absolute necessities of the case.
The status of the volunteers would, it
is said, be extremely unsatisfactory, and
there would be no assurance that the
President could retain them in service,

though all of the Georgia, South Carolina
and Florida congressman favor the con-

rider on the sundry civil appropriation bill.
REPRESENTATIVES Fleming, Bartlett and
livingston figured in an exciting scene at
t6e close of the debate, just prior to the
vote which defeated the canal project.
The discussion had practically closed,
and the members were impatient to vote,
and they shouted Vote! Vote! Voter
As Judge Fleming stood up in the center
aisle and demanded recognition by the pre-
siding officer. Representative Hopkins,
again the chorus of Voter rang out all
over the House. and the call was strong
on The Democratic side of the chamber.
With some display of vexation, Mr..
Fleming notified his associates that he
would insist upon being heard, notwith-
standing the discourtesy displayed by Ger
tain persons who were eager for a vote.

favored the canal bill, ne could not see
his way clear TO disregard the rules of the

had stood as a protection 10 the minority
