OF fowl raising may indeed succeed
better than the farmer, but he does
80 often against great odds. The poul-
try business fits in admirably with
the farm crops. The fowls can be used
for cleaners, and the amount Of food
thus saved ia a very large item and
the utilization of it means much
money. The farm too gives range for
Insect hunting Of which the professional
poultryman cannot avail himself.
The stopping of flying hens Is the
subject Of an editorial paragraph in an
exchange. The advice is given to clip
one wing, and II that does not prevent
flying over to run a single wire six
Inches above the top Of the fence. That
Is recommended as a sure preventive.
About that many things might be said
The success or non-success Of any
scheme depends a good deal on circum-
stances. We have seen hens fly over
fence clearing 1t by yard. In that
case what would be the use of a wire
six inches above the top. Generally if
yards are large and the fence is made
Of wire with no top rail, the birds will
stay in. especially If their wings are
clipped. But we have seen hens that
would never think Of flying over a
four-foot wire fence when the run was
large do so when the run was restrict
ed to few feet in each direction. OF
course this applies to the light bodied
hens like the Leghorns.

"Our Captious Critic" in the London
Dramatic News, this week, falls afoul
of that charming little tea-house lady,
Sada Yacco, whose first acquaintance
with the stern world on the other side
of the jade and pearl screen was made
some two years ago in San Francisco.
Sada Yacco and Otto Kawakami, the
Ellen Terry and Irving of Japan, have
recently been doing the drama as she
is done in Japan for the benefit OF
Criterion patrons in London, and the
critic caps his captiousness by a re-
fusal to see good Of any kind in the
efforts of these stars of the Oriental
stage. Good, that is, according to Oc-
cidental standards, and that there may
be others he seems to find difficult OF
belief Even for the music and dane

word Of praise, but the doubtful ap-
probation that it may be simply per-
feet in Japan, but that I feel that I
should need to be a japanese to enjoy
it," an attitude neither wise nor

Poultry Briefs.

At the Rhode Island Experiment
Station fowls were fed daily with a
food containing the germs of diph-
liberia After six weeks of this kind Of
feeding the hens were killed and found
TO be free from diphtheria, Later four
hens were inoculsted simultaneously
with virulent cultures of diphtheria
Bacillus, but no case OF diphtheria was
developed In the hens. This OF course
is only one series Of tests, but 1t seems
to bear out the other investigations
along this same line to the effect that
diphtheria as we know it in humans is
not a disease that can be developed In
fowls. A good many people have held
to the opinion that roup in fowls Is
only form OF diphtheria such as Is
common to the human family. Proof
of this seems to be entirely wanting.

Vancouver, B., c., July 1.-The
steamer Islander, from Sakgway to-
day, brings news of an exciting flag
episode at Skagway. E. S. Busby,
Canadian customs agent there, acting
on instrctions from Ottawa. hoisted
the British flag on pole above his
Office. Several incendiary remarks
followed the hosting of the ensign,
and on the following morning a tall,
athletic-looking man glanced up at
the flag, and stopping at the foot of
the staff, took out his pocket knife,
and cutting the halyards, pulled down
the flag and run the halyards through
the block, rolled up the colors and
tossed them into a recess of the build
ing. 1t did not take Customs Agent
Busby long to come to the defense of
the flag of his country. When he
reached the fiag-furler the latter
calmly pulled card from his pocket,
and, after handing it to the astonished
Canadian official, turned on his heel
and walked away. On the card was
