The theory that something Is lacking
in the food where egg eating hers are
part OF the flock is wrong. The habit is
due TO the hons not hsv ng something
to keep them busy, and TO this. extent
the food. OF rather lack OF food OF the
right kind. is responsible for the per
nicious habit. The plan OF having a
number of china eggs rolling around
the floor OF the house or in the yardsis
good one to break up the bad habit, for
the egr-estinrtens vii: pick at .-surh
eggs. and. finding they cannot break
them. will soon conclude that all eggs
are alike. and stop the trick. Another
good plan is Ia tx the nest boxes high
enough from the ground SO that the hen
standing on the ground cannot reach
the egg. Then IL the rest boxes are
built low. so that the hen can get into
them. but not stand upright. this will
tend 10 break up the habit. tor the egg

4 tiain on the Baltimore & Ohio rail

a tIain on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road with a sharpeued PROV or shield in
front Of the locomotive to split the air
as it were in order to overcome the
resistance or pressure against the front
OF the train, in Il recent trial on an up
grade ran seven miles in six minutes,
and on a down grade five miles at the
rate Of lo2 miles per hour. II is on
the principle that while a fast bicy
will cover a mile in two minutes. he can
behind the shield Of locomotive make
the mile in less than one half Of the
time. The pressure Of air is fttCeI
pounds to the square inch. When a
square body is driven into the air at the
rate Of sixty miles an hour. that pressure
is something fearful. With a sharp
prov on a train TO divide the air and
overcome the resistance. the same power
ought to vastly increase the speed. and
this experiment demonstrates that il
does. Ii is a wonder that il was rot
tried long Ego. Mr.. Adams. on his
epecially contriyed train. went to work
on the theory that the pressure and
friction on a square substance in motion
decrease As the square Of the velocity.
and that with this pressure and friction
removed the speed would be necessarily
vastly accelerated. Mr.. Adams contends
that with a way prepared SO that the
locomotive can break its way through
the air without friction. v-stibuletl

Po-I.r, Manure Valuable.

One tf the best and most available
manures is that which our poultry
supplies First OF all. i: costa no ready
money. and is an article OF value to any
farmer who will utilize it. How to save
mix and use this manure has been .
study with scores of farmers during the
pas. Few years. In nearly every farmers
yard are to be seon from loo to 100
fowls. and very often they have no
proper shelter aud the droppings are
usi- Often no thought is given to
gathering the manure for fertilizing
purposes, and in the spring the owner
will pay from $50 To s15 per ton for
cuano while the poultry manure that
goes to waste on his own farm 10 almost
equally rich in plant food, and even
better than some brands OF 40 called
pure grano. Poultry manure has the
most value when KEEP, in the dry; its
value is also largely dependent. upon the
kind Of food which the fowls consume
while making the deposit. As q rule
the poultry is given richer food than
any other farm stock. Wheat. corn. rye
also scraps from the table add to their
fare, hence their droppings must pos
s,s. considerable fertilizing value. We
keep the poultry tsSssher in The hss-

bent added to keep from heating. 1t is
astonishing how much accumulates. II
We wish to drill the manure it is sifted.

THE FILIPNOS.

Brig. Gen. Edward 3. Willisto o
United States army, who, for more
than a year, acted ss Mayor of Manila
and Provost Marshal of the city, is at
Baltimore. General WIlliston left the
Philippines on July 10, and hss recent
ly been retired.
10 speaking of conditions in the is-
lands and the status of the American
arms there, General Williston said
at is not war that is going on over
there n)w-it Is assassination. We are
DOW fighting one tribe consisting OF a
million and half OF people. the fight
ing force OF whom are mostly brigands
and thieves.
"They are very hostile to US, and
most heartily distrust our motives.
'As for the climate il is undoubted-
ly not fitted 10 the American constitu-
ton and Americans could never colo
nize there. OF course our soldiers sick
on and die and if we are to hold the ia
Iands it is simply question OF contin'
uslly sending more men out from this
country to take the places of those who
nave to he sent home because of the
climate.
1--WE need more men now. We mere
ly have a nominal hold on the islands,
nothing more than is covered by our
rife range. II Que man dies or is re-
moved, we lose the ground that one
man guarded. There is much to con-
tend with and the problem is great
one."

1ATEX ANDRTA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER,
The Flood in Texas.

Austin, Tex Sept. 25.-No reports
have been received this morning from
the food-thresteped district south of
here. It ia feared that hundreds of lives
have been lost in the flooded districts,
IS the rise came in the night, and no
warning could be sent TO those who live
in the bottom lands. Within the last
few hours, the Colorado river has risen
10 feet at this point. and this additional
flood will inundste the whole valley
and cause great destruction OF property.
Llsuo has been partly swept away. No
direct communication can be had with
San Saba. Marble Falls. % miles
above Austin, is reported TO have been
washed away. Efforts to reach there
are without avail. At Kingsland the
river rose 80 feet during the day.
Bridges have been washed away and
many houses destroyed. Reports from
west Texas are meagre as the country
is sparsely settled and it will be some
days before accurate information is OBJ
tsinable.
Austin, Tex, Sept. 25-The report
sent out from here at 2 o'clock this
morning 10 the effect that Marble Falls
with 800 population had been washed
away by the Colorado river ia big
mistake. A telegram from there says
the town is intact, and is too far above
the river to be touched. The river is
on tremendous rise, and 10 feet over
its banks at this point. Some appre-
hension is felt over the town of La
grange, 40 miles below here. Meagre
reports say several lives were lost at
Goldthwsite, So miles northwest OF
here. Every stream in northwest and
central Texas continues to rise. Farms
10 the lowands along all streams are
uuder water. Crop damages will be
very large. Governor ELECT Dukes and
D. Thomas who were supposed to have
perished in the Galveston flood, are

REPLIES of Continental Powers

Berlin, Sept. 25.-Russa and Japan
have replied asserting 10 principle to
the German note though Russia points
out the necessity of further negotis-
tons respecting the punishment OF the
ringleaders of the Chinese outrages.
frances reply was to the same effect,
practically, as Russia's and was uu.
doubtedly framed to accord with it.
The British reply has not yet been an
nounced if, indeed, it has been received.
Official Germany processes to be highly
pleased with the replies from the con-
tinental powers, regarding the nom
concurrence OF the United States rs IN
important. As matter of fact, how
ever, it will probably appear shortly
that the replies of Russia, France and
Japan and doubtless OF England are 10
effect the same as the Washington note,
although dictated by a more consid-
crate diplomacy in view of Germany's
greater provocation 10 violent measures
in China. In short, the Kaiser will be
given the satisfaction OF paper assur-
ances that his policy Of punishment is
excellent while, at the same time, It's
operations will be quietly blocked. The
fact that Rome and Vienna are entire
ly in accord with Berlin is of small i'm
portance. Meanwhile the greatest ply
steal obstacle to diplomatic settlement
in China, Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee, is travelling toward Tien.
tsn with the prestige of Germany in
his baton. 1t is believed that the Kai.
ser will 60 to great lengths to justify
MS Field MarshaPs presence in China.
Whether so far as to wreck the concert
OF the powers, cannot be predicted but
it is the opinion of many foreign diplo-
mats in Berlin that on the Ksiser's tenn
per will depend the adjustment of Chi
nese affairs, whether it is to be accom-
plished by diplomacy or force.
London, Sept. 25.-It is semi.oficial.
y announced this afternoon that the
British reply to Germany's note has
been transmitted, and that it is similar

ton have started for flemish. The re-
nsinder will follow when local condi
lions permit.
The Russians have occupied the forth
cations at Lu Tai, twenty miles north
of Taku.
Russia, France and the United States
are now pursuing common policy
with regard to the Chinese question.
Massscres OF native Christians near
Canton, China, are reported.
1t is understood that ss soon as the
condition of affairs in China will admit
of it Minister WI, now at Washington,
