 clude Papers Advertising il.
 Washington. E. Salmon, chief of the U. s. veterinarians, after careful tests pronounces the "red albumen, advertised in so many farm papers, as a wonderful stimulant for laying hens, a fraud of the strictest kind. He says 90 p. 0. of the compound is useless and as to causing hens to lay it will kill them of as fast as a plague could do it.
 The postal authorities have been re- quested to issue fraud orders against the 'red albumen" makers and to rule papers ont of the mail containing such ads.
 Poultry shippers would be surprised how many quack farm papers and bogus poultry journals are pushing this com pound composed largely of red ochre or what is known as mineral paint. Once in a while e reputable paper may get taken in on such @ deal, but the way some of these otherwise reputable journals continue to push ''red albumen" shows they are interested in the fraud.
 This is another fake for the home pa- pers to puncture and the sooner it IS done the better of are the local poultry rsisers. New York Packer.

The mill is depicted as standing near a terrace. Close at hand are horse and cart, with a few groups of peasants idling in the road nearby.
