Once upon a time tne animals Of a certain
country (being at war with the lions chose
for their ruler jackass.
When the jackass assumed his position as
ruler he became chesty and thundered and
brayed. To the best of his ability he gave
an imitation of great being On numerous
occasions he reprimanded the other beasts
One old warrior he kicked in the Stats and
another celebrated aquatic parsonage he bit
on the ear. During all this time the ami.
mails marveied. They bowed down and
worshipped the jackass. knowing his
voice 10 be discordant the willy iaterers
nevertheless extolled it as being the very
sweetest sound. When the jackass began
his rule he brayed openly the accusation
that the animal kingdom was all wrong
He did nothing ingenious or ingenious,
however Things were much as they were
before The animals wondered that their
kingdom didn't go to ruin, it, as the jackass
said it was in such bad shape, and they
marveled and Knocked him secretly while
they praised him in public
A certain wise animal, meeting some of
the others; began to laugh at the spectacle
of the jackass ruling.
Whereupon the defenders of the jackass
retorted that he was a z0iSe jackass.
The wise animal replied that he granted
that the ruling iackass was wise, but said
that he was jackass none the less for that. "

WHAT A MONOPOLY DOEsp
The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company and the Sunday
GlOben

The SUNDAY GLOBES experience with
the above named monopoly will be aired in
court in suit for damages against the COM
pany.
For FIVE weeks the company neglected to
change our phone from 4o7 Eleventh street
to 1923 Pennsylvania Avenue, although re-
peatedly requested to do So During the
FIVE weeks the GLOBE lost advertising con-
tracts and important news which patrons
endeavored to honor US with through the
telephone. Finally when the phone was
changed to the GLOBES present office of
publication the company assigned us a new
number, still retaining the old number in
the printed book. OF course, patrons call
ing up the old rumber, as printed in the
book, got some other establishment to
which it was assigned. Our new number not
being in the published telephone book no
body knew it, and we we're therefore prac-
tically without telephone service until
January I, when the company published
supplementary directory with our correct
number
Then the gall of a monopoly was demOn-
strated. The company demanded pay for
the full time, deductiug neither the FIVE
weeks in which they failed to remove the
phone as well as the months in which the
wrong or old and discarded number was
printed in their directory.
On our refusalito be robbed by this cheeky
corporation they had us cut off. and we now
have a useless instrument on our desk earn
ing storage, which we also propose to
enumerate in our suit for exemplary dam
ages. The SUNDAY GLOBE will teach the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany that great monopoly and corporation
as it is, 1t is not above the law and is not en-
dowed with the special privileges of making
and printing laws of its own inconsistent
with The statutes made and provided by the
Congress Of the United States.
The suit will be entered the coming week
and we have just sand enough left to fight
it to a finish through our able counsel Judge
T. ]. Mackey.

SOME GOOD POINTERS
FOR CHICKEN RAISERS.

From Farmers Review: There are
many good breeds of chicks, sew
eral not very good, and as many good
and as many poor handlers OF these
breeds Why is it one person will
succeed with the chicken work while
another equally as well situated and
started will fail? The reason why
some succeed where others fail would
better be reasons why, for there are
many Lack OF business methods is
one main reason All know, OF should
know. what is meant by business
methods If you are in doubt, look up
the methods OF some who have been
successful; visit some of your neigh
bors who are successful; then remem-
Der and profit by the points you learn;
If you can discover points would
advise you to go out of the poultry
business instanter.
Lack Of regularity in feeds, in time
OF feeding and in general care The
poultry keeper who keeps his flock on
the tenter hooks of expectation all
the time will themselves be on the
expectation OF profit from their focks-
Great expectations but unlikely to
be realized.
Changes, either in the feeds, the
housings or in the hoclzs themselves
Now don't explode; variety of feeds
is necessary; sudden change in feed
is detrimenta1-the only sudden
good feed, and this sudden change
should be gradual. The introduction
of new blood is necessary once per
year, but one should not be intro
ducing ones into the flock at
any and all times. The probabilities
are they will take much time get

time for them to return any profit

PROBLEMS FACED BY

From Farmers Review: The ex-
treme and long continued drouth of

ditions and problems to be solved be-
fore we can be sure of making farm
ing remunerAtive, when such condi-
tons prevail Opportune fall rains
produced fine growth of late pas
turage, which, with the exceedingly
mild winter helped the farmers to car
ry most of their stock through in fair
shape All surplus stock was sold
early in the season. Prices were low,
but feed was very high, high, in
fact, that those who kept their choice
cows and fed for milk found their per-
-centage of profit the wrong side

SHOULD BE LIMIT TO
THE WATER IN BUTTER.

Abroad the question of water in but
ter appears to be quite a serious one.
The foreign butter sellers or butter
makers have been quite successful in
working into butter an abnormal guam
tity of water. Again and again cases
have been brought into English and
Irish courts, where the butter con-
tanned in excess of 20 per cent of
water. In a few instances the water
content has been in excess of 80 per
cent. Doubtless parallel cases have
been discovered in German courts
Anyway the German government has
now established rule that all pure
butter must contain at least so per
cent of butter fat Henceforth the ag-
gregate of salt, water and casein in
butter cannot exceed 90 per cent of
its weight In England a law is about
to be put in force requiring butter to
contain not in excess of 16 per cent
of water. The people that ship but
ter to England and Germany must
take cognizance OF these facts, else
they may find some Of their consign-
ments of butter tied up under the Gus
tOdy of officials delegated to look after
the enforcement of this law

MOTH TRAPS OF LITTLE
VALUE FOR ORCHARDS

Prof. ]. NJ. Stedman, Entomolog1st,
Missouri 1 pronounce, as all other
competent entono1ogists do, that all
and any trap lanterns Of whatever pat
tern using lights as the attractive
agent, are humbugs when USED IN
orchards and do more harm than good,
on account of the ichneumon flies
(stinging fly or wasp-l1ke 1nsect) they
catch. 1 had five trap lanterns tone OF
them being Haze1tine's Moth Catcher)
in an orchard that was badly infested
with the codIing moth, and kept them
going for 100 consecutive nights, be-
ginning when the trees b1oomed. AS
a result of all this 1 caught only two
codling moths. Is it not little strange
that those that are not entom olog1sts
catch these cod1ing moths, while en-
tomo1ogists all fail? The trouble lies
in the mistaken identity of the cod
ling moth since there are great
number of similar looking but harm
less moths that are caught by these
traps These traps will not catch
except now and then one by mere &C
cident-the following common injuri-
Gus insects, which the advocates of
the moth catchers claim are caught:

EFFECTIVE CHECK FOR
THE SAN JOSE SCALE

Prof w J. Green, OF Ohio. says:
Various mixtures have been proposed
Tor this insect and a number have been
round to be more or less effective II
IS hardly possible, however, to apply
any remedy with such thoroughness as
TO reach every scale, and because It's
natural enemies are few and its rate
or reproduction very rapid, complete
eradication is practically Impossible,
but by treatment each season it Is en-
t1rely practicable to hold it in check
The choice OF a compound with which
to make treatment is not to be deter
mined alone by its efficiency, but by It's
availability and practicability as we'll
Resin washes, composed of resin, pot
ash and fish oil, have been found to
be efficient, but are troublesome TO
prepare in a small way. The same Is
true of a whitewash made of lime,
sulphur and salt. Whale oil soap,
when used as strong as two pounds
to gallon of water, and applied with
thoroughness, is a good remedy. It's
cost precludes its use in many cases
and the difficulty of finding suitable
weather conditions for the application
of 1T makes results with it quite varl-
able. While not without objections,
crude petroleum has been found, IN
most cases, to meet the requ1rem ents
better than any other remedy yet tried
at the Ohio Experiment Station The
thin, light grade is safer and less trou-
blesOme to use than the thick, heavy
grade, although when diluted with wa
ter the latter is less Objectionable than
| if used clear. Refined oil is more
| harmful than crude.

HYDRAULIC SEPARAToRS
ARE OF LITTLE VALUE.

From a government bulletin we take
the following: Everything claimed for
the hydraulic separator can be equal
Iy well done in a shot gun can, and if
water below 40 degrees F., or ice can
be obtained to bring the temperature
down to 40 degrees F., the thorough
ness of separation will be far super
ior to separation by any hydraulic
separator. The only case where there
is an advantage in using the method
is in milk from cows far advanced in
Iactation, and then the efficiency of
the process is about equal to deep set
ting in ice This method is no more
efficient than the o1d-fashioned shall
low pan setting, with the disadvantage
of greatly increasing the volume of
skim milk to be handled, and, in case
hot water is used, as is sometimes ad-
viSed, there is the added Inconvenience
of the rapid sOuring of the milk. If
any dairyman wishes-to try the method
there is no patent to prevent him
using the process to his hearts con-
tent.

TUBERCULOSIS IN COWS
is HARD TO DETECT

For period of four years at the
Connecticut station four cows that had
reacted to the tuberculin test were
kept and fed and watched. For the
first two or three years some of them
showed not the slightest indication of
having tuberculosis. The four dropped
healthy calves and seemed to be MAX
ing the most of their food On the
fourth year the disease developed very
rapidly and the animals were killed
On post-morten examination all were
found to be tuberculous- Up to a
year of the time of s1aughterins one
of these cows had been very sleek
and fat Yet it was known certainly
that the COW had the disease for threa
years previous. When slaughtered on
the fourth year both lungs were found
to be badly diseased, almost soHdifed
with tuberculous tissue; pIeural cos
tails covered with tubercles: medias-
final lymphatics tubercuIous. and mes
enteric lymphatics all badly tubercu-
Ious- Tubercles We're also found on
the rumen and diaphragm. This. it
will be seen, proved to be a very bad
case Its diagnosis for years before
shows the value of tuberculin.
