ARE TO HURRY TO SAMOA.
Next Boat Sailing for the
Island.

Washington, April 12.-As result of
conferences held Tuesday at the state
department and at the British embassy
efforts will be made to have the
Samoan high commission make a quick
trip across the country, reaching San
Francisco in time to catch the boat
leaving for Samoa one week from
Wednesday. This is regarded as a dis
tinctly favorable turn in the negotia-
tions, and as indicating that the three
governments are very near to complete
accord on all the points of the COM
mission. 1t does away, also, with the
reports that Germany was withholding
the appointment of her commissioner
and makes practically certain that
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, first sec
rotary of the German embassy here, will
be the German high commissioner.
AS it has been strongly intimated in
the Berlin, dispatches that the German
government was about to make de-
mand for a disavowal of Admiral
Kautz's actions, it may be stated that
our government will certainly not ac-
cede to any such request in advance OF
a full knowledge of all the facts in the
case and a conviction that the admira
acted wrongly, the presumption always
being that our officers have acted with
due propriety until the contrary is
shown to be the case.
If Admiral Kautz found Mataafa, the
sslf-constituted king, with his 10 chiefs
dominating the affairs of the island
involving the suspension of the func
tions of the supreme court, and of the
municipal council formally and duly
established by treaty, then it was hi:
duty, according to the state depart
ment, to bring the conditions at One
to conformity with the treaty. If Thu
involved the dissolution of the pro
visional government there can be n,
legal complaint, it is said, by any on
of the three treaty powers who hav
bound themselves to carry out ant
maintain the treaty of Berlin. The fac
that the three consuls at Apia, in a mo
ment of excitement, sanctioned the es
tablishment of the provisional govern
ment, though regretted here, is not re
garded as affecting the merits of tn
American and British contention, a
these three officials, it is held, had n
right to do anything in contraventiol
of the treaty, such as was involved i,
the suspension of part of the machiner
of the government provided for by tina
convention.

morning and remained closed the rest
of the day, opened as usual Tuesday
morning. Little business was trans
acted, however, as citizens were too
busily engaged in discussing the affairs
of Monday to think of mercantile pur-
suits. For the first time in weeks ne
groes were seen parading the streets.
They took advantage of the fact that
martial law prevails in Pana and walked
around in perfect security. There was
no excitement except that groups could
be seen here and there reading the red
posters tackled to telegraph poles and
street corners, bearing the proclama-
ton of Gov. Tanner placing Pana under
martial law. This instrument is a re-
newal of the proclamation of November
last and was dated three o'clock Mon

DELICATE CHICKENS.
TAelr Production for CITY Market.
Has Developed Into Quite
Little Industry.

For some ten years past a certain lit
tie industry has been progressing-an
industry Of luxury, viz: the production
Of delicate chickens. You have certain
~ eaten some, for on select tables these
little chickens, Of the size Of a pigeon,
have been seen for some time. Each
person has his chicken, and such q
chickenl Succulent, tender, juicy flesh!
The director of the school Of bird
culture Of Gambler tells how these deli
cate chickens are obtained. The young
chicks are given food in which: milk
forms the basis OF the nourishment.
Hence the name milk chickens" This
food is made of barley -four mixed in
boiled milk. Y; This Is fed exclusively
and 1t produces delicate and fine fla
vored flesh. The milk chicken should
be eaten when 1t is at the age of'from
six weeks to two months. At that age
It Is heavy, plump, and should weigh.
at six weeks, four-ffths of pound.
The little chicken Of the farmyards and

the latter may be served to conva-

The gizzard also furnishes a most ef-
fective digestive agent called ingluvin.
and which has several times as much
digestive power az pepsin prepared
from the stomach Of the calf or the pig.
Many people whose digestion is weak
prefer ingluvin to pepsin to aid the
change Of their food into blood and
flesh. So long as food comes to the
fowls stomach only moderately fast
there is not much danger that the stom-
ach will be crop bound. Instinct

eating. She will do 80 IL placed before a
heap Of whole grain, and also, If she has
chicks, stop eating long enough to
oluck and call them to it. It is not often
that fowl become crop bound on grain
unless cut clover is also largely eaten
ut the same time. The weight and
sohdity Of the grain makes something
for the gizzard to work on, and the food
has solidity enough to be forced
through. Hence cut clover should form
only very small part Of a fowls ration.
Neither should soft food be fed long as
an exclusive diet. It also does not give
the stomach enough to do. and thus
weakens that organ from inaction.
This is as often as any other the cause
Of fowls becoming crop bound. It is
most common in fowls that have be-
come very fat from high feeding, and
which take but little exercise.-Ameri-

DIAGRAM OF BRooDER.

Ave-inch drum opening into the space
between the floor and the sheet iron.
Around the top Of the drum are open
ings that let the hot air out into the
brooder. Now comes the improvement.
The top Of the drum formerly extend
ed out from it some two or three inches.
Il now extends out for ten inches all
around the drum and from the outer
edge q flannel curtain is hung, inclosing
a circular space with the drum in the
center. The curtain is 'slashed" up
every three inches. Within this curtain
will be the warmest place in the brood
er. It will always be warm in there. II
It becomes too warm the chicks will go
outside the curtain. The addition of
this inclosed hover renders it practical
" impossible for the chickens to be
chilled or overheated and makes very
excellent brooder into one that cannot
well be improved. s-.s

cover can be placed for an inside brood
er. If 1t is to be used out of doors it
must have sloping cover. Put two

NOTES FOR BEEKEEpERs.


Give a strong colony plenty of en-
trance room.
Sulphur will destroy the moth larvae
In old combs. 3pst
Use foundations to control the num-
Der of drones. ,.t
With plenty Of stores brood rearing
goes on rapidly.
An apiary is best located on the south
or east side Of slope.
Worthless queens may be detected by
the broods they produce. &
Bees should not be allowed to be-
come entirely destitute of honey.
We cannot expect straight combs to
be built in hives that are not plumb.
Honey should never be heated to the
boiling point; it destroys the flavor.
Early in the spring is one of the very
best times for moving the bees. The
combs then are light and the colony the
smallest of any time Of the year.
If the hives are resting directly on
the ground it will produce dampness,
which is against the best welfare of
the bees at this time.-st. Louis Re-

CROPS FOR THE BEES.
Their Cultivation IL Rapidly Becom.
ing Necessity In Many Sections
Of the Country.

Even in California where flowers are
az abundant as the sands on the sea-
shore flower crops are raised ostensibly
for the bees. But the flowers there have
a commercial value, OF at least their
seeds do, and the apiarist adds another
source to his income.
But in reality this is possible any
where. The bee-keeper should also be
specialist in some other kind of farm
ing. Fruit-growing seems to go natur-
ally with bee-keeping, for the flowers
Of the fruit trees furnish abundant
nectar for the bees. Then when the
fruit blossoms have disappeared buck
wheat can be sown in the orchard to
yield more food late in, the season.
Clover raised in the orchard also fur
nishes good honey for the insects.
Where cut flowers can be sold to adj
vantage, it pays to raise them on alarge
scale, with the double purpose Of feed
ing the bees, and Of selling the flowers
and plants. One may undertake this
business on small scale by combining
the work to the production Of ANIMALS
and hardy perennials. Then no hot
houses or greenhouses will be needed
to increase the initial expense. Con-.
siderable success has been attained in
this way by women as well as by men.
One might think Of many other crops
that would be suitable for the bees. One
man added dairying to his bee-keeping.
A neighboring grass pasture was sown
with the seeds Of wild flowers, and an
upland field with clover. From the two
he raised enough milk and butter to
supply the house and make several hun
dred dollars year besides. He calcu-
lated that the pasture fields yielded
him as much return in the shape of
honey as in milk and butter.-Annie c.

Average Cost Of Eggs.

Experiments in feeding and in COM
putting the value of eggs, show that If
20 estimate is made for l.bor, one dozen
eggs can be produced at a cost Of about
six cents for food, or about half cent
per egg. If all of the food allowed to
hens were converted into eggs the profit
of q dozen eggs would be large, even
when prices are very low, but much de-
ponds on whether the hens convert the
food into eggs, flesh, or support Of their
bodies. It is fact demonstrated, how
ever, that when a dozen eggs are mar
keted they carry from the farm but
little Of the nutritious elements Of the
soil in proportion to their value in
market, and on that account they ore
as profitable as anything that can be
produced on the farm.-Poultry Keeper.
