The President has amended the civil
service rules to provide that whenever the
position OF an agency is discontinued and
Is continued and it's duties 6evOlve upon
the superintendent Of the Indian Training
School located at the agency the agent may
be made a classified emplOye at the agency.

ness prescribed by the secretary Of the

service such agents as prove their eff
cheney and ability.

Superintendent Reynolds reported
upon the result of his Investigations
of the water supply at Molokai, he
stated that the best plan would be
to ditch the water from the two re-
servoirs which we're about 276 feet
above the sea leval and this with
the use of 8 iuch pipes would give
plenty of water for taro patches and
all necessary purposes. The FORE
going statement furnish food for
thought and surprise for those ob
serving as to make them query.
Where is the water to "ditch" to
come 'FRONT.' There is no spring of
gushing water at the reservoirs
which were built for the storage of
surplus water from the main pipe.

Superintendent of Public Works,
Colonel j. H. Boyd, has returned
from Maui where he looked into maj
terson that island. In an interview,
published in the official organ. Mr..
Boyd must really have done wond-
ers in the interest of the taxpayers.
He was the guest of Judge j. W..
Kalua in Wailuku, and the writer
having been there himself, is not
surprised that the Superintendent
will ask San appropriate IN to re-
concrete the reservoir" The colonel
did good work while at Wailuku, at
least he says, referring to the Water
Works of course, that NATURALLY
the crack opened after while. he
bottom also was of clay foundation,
aud when the water got to it, it
bulgad and lifted the concrete up.
We had all these cracks cemented,
and left instructions to fill the re-
servoir only to half its depth, to
prevent further damage, until it can
be newly cemented."

but too much Is DISASTROUS as expert
ence taught me. The best plan of feed
ing pepper is too allow them to pick
at the pods on the plant, or the dried
pods in the winter. They will rarely
eat too much. II chicks are fed the
table scraps. their feed will need little
IL any salt There is need OF green
stun. cabbage, rye, turnip tops: and
of vegetables, raw potatoes. turnips
and onions. also meat or milk.
Perhaps the greatest need is grit,
lack of grit will cause Indigestion
(dyspepsia), and of course chicks or
anything else will do no good if af-
fiicted with dyspepsia. Are they free
of lice? This with their limited varie-
ty of feed and restricted quarters
would prevent their laying eggs. Do
they get exercise? If not the whole
trouble may be traced to this. Make
them scratch hard every day in the
year; fix them a nice dust bath; give
plenty of clean milk and water to
drink: get rid of lice; give them the
semi-starvation cure a few days, it
will help them. Leave of the condi-
tion powders, the salt and pepper, and
most of the corn give vegetables and
green stuff; If this does not cause them
to lay you would better fatten and
sell them, then buy a fresh start The
roosters have nothing to do with their
lack of laying.

The notes following John Bruins ar

(they are not feed) you had better

Poultry Briefs.


Feeding for the production of eggs
is a subject that constantly engages
the best thought of the best poultry
men That it is an open subject yet
it proved by the fact that good and
experienced poultrymen disagree as to
the composition of necessary rations
and the method Of their feeding.
Even the men that adopt iron clad
rules in this regard are known to
change them. This goes to prove that
no fixed rule has yet been agreed on.
For reasons which none of us are as
yet able to understand, one man sue
ceeds with one ration and another
with another, even when the birds
are of the same breed and all condi-
tions appear to be similar. There is
something in the handling of a flock
that depends ON the presence of an
active intelligence, which intelligence
can never be reduced to rule.
The advantages of pens that can be
moved about freely are obvious. Re-
Gently the writer saw a very good ar
rangement at the experiment station
at Southern Pines, N. C. "A large wire
covered yard contained a number of
fowls, the yard being so arranged that
were at the four corners, but SO ar
ranged that when not in service the
trucks permitted the frame of the yard
to rest on the ground. This was neces-
sary as a protection to the chicks. A
new pasture ground was thus given the
flock every day. Moreover, the manure
was evenly distributed and all accum-
ulations were prevented.

strictly fresh egg of any extrac.lon will

time of Matching of eggs caused by
the habits OF the birds sitting on them.

do others and SO keep the eggs at a
more even temperature Such eggs are

Misuse of Trust Funds.

Oh, there is such a fearful fascina-
ton in this day about the use of trust
funds. 1t has got to be popular to take
the funds of others and speculate with
them There are many who are prac-
ticing that iniQuity. Almost every man
in the course of his life has the prop
erty of others put in his care He has
administered. perhaps, for dead
friend; he is an attorney, and money
passes from debtor to creditor through
his hands; or he Is in a commercial
establishment and gets a salary for
the discharge of his responsibilities: or
he is treasurer of a philanthropic fnsti-
tuition, and money for the suffering
goes through his hands; or he has
some Office in city or state or nation,
and taxes and subsidies and supplies
and salaries are in his hands Now.
