NEED GOOD TREATMENT.
Unless Chickens Are Properly Cared
For They Will Not Prove VAL
liable Nowadays.

No matter what their breeding,
chickens must be properly cared for
in order to reach their highest devel-
opment. They must be ha1ched in
season and their wants properly sup
piled, or else they will be scrubs, al
though they can count host of price
winners among their ancestors
1t is simply waste of time for people
to buy gh-priced eggs unless they
intend to give the chicks Matched there
from good treatment. Such stock will
not stand neglect. 1t has been brought
up 20 its high standard by the utmost
care, not being allowed to want for
anything necessary to its we'll being.
Neglect and ill treatment will very soon
make it over into something no better
than the commonest native.
Chickens Matched at this time of wear
do not require an endless amount of at
tcntion, but certain things are neces-
sary in order to keep them in health
and give a continuous growth. And if
these things are not attended to with
regularity and system, they Will fall
far short of the mark 10 which they are
capable of attaining by reason Of their
lineage. If they are permitted to be
come lousy, are kept in close quarters
which do not permit of healthy exer-
else. or without proper variety of
food, they will never grow np into
fowls which anybody vii feel any pride
in owning. The difference in ful-b.oods
very often is not SO much the difference

EXERCISE FOR DUCKS.
Swim mtnE Tanks Under Feed
Cylinders.

Duck breeders often have trouble in
securing fertile eggs largely because
of the lack of exercise for the breeding
birds. The method described by II. II.
Stoddard in the New York Egg Farm
overcomes this obstacle by providing
a series of swimming tanks under the
feed cylinders or feeding boards, as
shown in the illustration.

Leung Chi-tso. whose head delivered
at Picking is worth $4,000. according
to the officers OF the dowager empress
of China and Ii Hung Chang. takes
some chances of losing his headpiece.
Though he was constantly watched
on his journey to Hawaii and during
his travels there, vet there were mo-
ments when quick and determined
assassin might have earned the re-
ward. which would have meant a for
tune to the villain welding the weap-
on if he succeeded in convincing the
willy empress of the death of the man
she hates and fears.

by Leung, gained many adherents
Leung told his hearers at the planta-

| had come to talk with them on a sub
iect dear as life. He pictured to them
the condition in which the Chinese
emperor is. the restraint placed upon
| him by the empress and the willing
ness of the emperor to give free
speech and share in the government
to every citizen of the Chinese empire
He advocated the adoption of Eu-

branch of which he instituted in
Honolulu. has now a membership of
many hundreds on the big island.
This will mean much money for the
Golfers of the society which is strug-
CLING for the overthrow of the dow

to leave Honolulu for the mainland of
America as soon as his labors in the
islands are over. He will spend a
long time in San Francisco and the
other cities of California, where his
countrymen live in numbers, and will
eventually go to Europe. He will
have great influence to help him in

UBANS AND FILIPIN0S.
Col. Bryan Writes n Letter Holding
That the Two Peoples Are En-
titled to Same Treatment.

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, June 22.-The Sem
tinel prints letter addressed to II by Col.
w. J. Bryan. in which he expresses his
views upon the relations Of the Filpinos
and the Cubans and their rights. 1t is
as follows;
II believe that the rights OF the Filipi-
nos and the rights of the Cubans are
identical. The recognition of the rights
ate these rights. They existed before.
IF the Filipinos have right to their
independence, the fact that they fought
for II does not Justify US in carrying on
a war OF conquest.
1T Is no more humilitaing for a nation
TO recognize the rights of an opponent
than for an individual to do So
I'VE would have had the same trouble
in Cuba IL we had treated the Cuhans the
same as we have the Filipnos We
would have had no trouble in the Philip-
pnos as we have treated the Cubans. If
we are going to give the Filipinos their
independence we ought to say so at once
and thus avoid further bioodshed.
How can we justify the sacrifice OF
American soldiers and the killing of Fiji
pinos merely to show them we can whip
them?
The Bacon resolution received the sup
port of nearly every Democratic senator
and was adopted by "A Democratic caucus
in the house. This resolution promised
independence. IL IL had been accepted
and acted upon when IL was first intro
war If II had been adopted nj the time
the vote was taken II would have stopped
the war. Very truly yours,
