AMERICAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Mr.. welimnn Wants Congress to Appro-
PIRATE $50. 900 for Thai rurpose.


PIRATE $3.50. 900 for That Purpose.
WARRINGTON. Nov. l7-In a lecture before
the National Geographical Society tonight
Walter Wellman. leader Of the Welman exped-
ition to the Arctic regions In lSsS-'f9. suggested
that the geographic and other scientific socie-
ties Of the National Capital should memorabilia
Congress TO mako an appropriation for an
American Antarctic expedition. The sum OF
Sl5O,UOO. he thought. would be SUFFICIENT for
such an expedition. and In his opinion II should
cooperate with she parties which are to be- sent
out from England and Germany. though
remaining under American control. The sux-
Restion was well received. and the matter will
probably be taken UP soon for discussion aud
action. Mr.. Wellman showed maps OF his dis
coveries In Franz josef Land. and declared that
not much geographic work beyond the dis
covery OF the North Pole itself remained to be
done IN the Arctic regions. while In the Antarc-
tics there was a vast unknown continent to be
explored. Prof.. A. Graham Boil. president
OF the society. presided at the lecture, which
was attended by large audience Of scientific.
literary and society people.

HOW TO MAKE DARK NESTS.


shown removed so that the arrange
ment of the interior can be plainly
seen. If the shoebox can be nailed
against the wall of henhouse having
a walk at one side, the eggs can be
gathered from the walk by cutting a
round opening through the back of the
nest, the openings being covered with
slides.
1t is to be remembered, however,
that there is something to be done to
stop egg-eating besides providing dark
nests. The habit is usually acquired by
the hens becoming fat and laying soft
shelled eggs. These easily break in the
nest. The hens get q taste and the mis-
chief is done. Make the hens work for
q living. Feed whole grain and feed it
in litter, where they will have to
scratch for it. Keep the fat off the
birds and they will lay better and the
eggs will be hard shelled. Feeding soft
food to hens in winter is one of the
most potent causes of overfatness. It
is too quickly assimilated, and when
thus fed hen has no incentive to
scratch. Feed sparingly all day and
make the birds scratch for what they
get. Then at night give all they will
eat. They thus get enough in each "a
hours, but have to work all day long
and this is natures plan-N. Y. Trib-
une.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Ground bone or bone meal is one OF
the best ways of supplying lime to the
hens.
It is much easier to dress and PIN
feather white chicken for market
than black plumaged one.
Hamburgs, Leghorns. Black Spanish,
Game, Hardins and Andalusians re-
quire high fence to keep them under
control.
Have the rests so that a hen can
walk in on them and not SO deep that
the hen will be obliged to jump down
upon them.
II the hens are allowed to lay soft
shelled eggs they soon contract the
habit OF eating them. and this makes
them worthless.
The food for young chickens should
never be sloppy, hence when meal is
soaked in milk it should be squeezed
sufficiently dry to be crumbly.
While very fat hen will nearly al
ways be selected in market quickly,
such one is not always the best, as
lean meat is the most desirable.
It is not good plan to feed pepper
to poultry too often. Warm foods tends
to have the same stimulating effect
without preserving the impressive
qualities Of that Observation-Disclosures

NEW cHlcKEH FEED.

ssCalke" Ter Use In California
Poultry Yards.

Over . thousand horses have in the
last few months been sent out of San
Jose and converted into chicken feed.
Horses have never been 30 cheap since
the Americans came into California as
during the last le months. There were
two reasons for this-namely: one the
great number raised on the big ranches
and the other the scarcity of feed.
There are always old and WORKOUT
horses.
Petaluma is great chicken raising
center. This industry 10 carried on
there to a greater extent than at any
other point in the state. With the
growth of this industry came demand
for cheap feed for the chickens, par
ticularly for meat. Men began to cook
horsefesh and then pack it in con-
densed shape-a sort of meat cake.
They bought the old and worthless
horses or any other animal unfit for
human food. This meat business
grew, and the meat cake was shipped
to various points and sold by dealers
in chicken supplies. 1t is for sale in
San Jose.
With the growth Of the business
there was larger demand for horses.
Agents were appointed at all bay cit
les or nearby points to purchase the
worthless horses to be found in the
market.
There seems to be some uncertainty
about just what the Petaluma packers
paid for the animals. At all events,
there is some difficulty in ascertain
ing the prices. Itseems, however, that
the scale varies. Agents pay all the
way from IS cents to $3.50, the latter
price only for large, heavy horses. OF
course, they always buy them as cheap
~ as possible, but it appears they
never let reasonably large horse go
away until they had bid to three dol
lars.
When q bunch Of animals have been
secured they are taken to Petaluma
and delivered. There the skins are
taken off and sold to the tanners, the
bones are preserved and sold to man
ufacturers of fertilizers, and the meat
cooked and pressed into "cake" for the
chickens.
One dealer on North Market street
in this city says he has sent $50 horses
to Petaluma during the last few
months, and he knows that over 1000
have been sent during the same months
to the same place.-San Jose (Cal.)

THE AMERICAN HEN.
She Plays q Most Important Part IN
the Agricultural Economy Of
Our Country.

p. 81. Sprague, q Chicago poultry
dealer, read q paper before the farm
ers' institute ut Princeton, ILL.,, in which
he stated that the production of chick
ems in the United States last year
reached 3,35o.ooo,Ooo and eggs 13,OOo,-
100000. The total value of chickens
and eggs produced was $500, 600, 900. Ac-
cepting these figures as approximately
correct, we must conclude that the
hen plays an important part in our
American life. But we will better un-
derstand the relative importance of that
part when we come to make some COM
Parsons.
The value Of our tobacco crop has
rarely been as much as $43 900, 600. The
value Of our potato crop is less than
$s0,O00Oo0 on the average. The value
of our barley crop is not often as much
as $40, 600 600. ADoat crop worth $780,
100000 is unusual Our annual output
of pig iron has rarely exceeded $780,
100000 in value. Coal, by far the most
valuable of our mineral products, gives
a total annual output of some $780,
5000.
Raw cotton. wheat. hay and corn are
the only four products Of our country
that exceed in value hens and hens
eggs, according to the above estimate,
and cotton sometimes follows the lat
ter in the order of Importance, the crop
having exceeded $29O,00O,0oo in value
only three times, and the highest hav-
ing been not quite $310,oo0,Ooo. The
wheat crop has ranged in value from
$213,000,O00 to $513, 00O, 900, and the corn
crop from about $40, 600 900 to $751;
100000 The average value of the hay
crop may be stated at about 1890, 0oo,-
600. From this comparison the impor-
tance of the hen, especially in our ag-
ricuitural economy, will be appreciated.
If Mr.. Sprague' stated the value of
the egg product separately the fact is
not reported. It would be interesting
to know the value of the egg output.
Probably it exceeds the value Of any
mineral output excepting coal, but not
excepting pig iron. Probably, too. it
exceeds the value Of any farm crop
except corn. wheat, hay, cotton and
oats, and it may even exceed oats. The
hen is by no means to be despised-
