German papers state that Herr
Szcepanik. a former Polish professor,
now serving i'm the German army, has
invented an impenerable breastplate,
of which he has sent n specimen to
the Emperor William. II consists of a
silllen fabric, and weighs less than
four and n half pounds. A ball fired
by Mannicher rife at distance of
five PAGES is said to have penetrated
less than one-eighth OF an inch into
the substance. So many attempts
have been made TO invent impenetra-
bic shields and clothing that further
information must be furnished the
wise and wary before entire crcdencc
can be given to the report OF Herr
SZcepanik'S success.

The element causing the band and the

has lately been shown that nickel is

THE PRESIDENTS REMARKS

Washington, Oct. 4.-The following
is the text of the Presidents remarks
at the conference: II wish to call
your attention to the fact that there
are three parties affected by the stu
alton in anthracite trade, operators,
miners and the general public. speak
for neither operators nor miners but
for the general public The questions
at issue which led to the situation
affect all parties concerned, operators
and miners, but the situation itself
vitality affects the public. AS long as
there seemed to be reasonable hope
that these matters could be adjusted
between the parties it did not seem
proper to me to intervene in any way.
1 disclaim any right or duty to in
tervene in this way upon legal
grounds or upon any official relation
that ! bear TO the situation but ur-
gency and the terrible nature of the
catastrophe impending over a large
portion of our people in the shape of
winter fuel famine impel me, after
much anxious thought to believe my
duty requires me to use whatever in
huence l personally can bring to end
a situation which has become literal
ly intolerable. 1.-THE President then
called upon each one to realize the
burden of the responsibility resting
on him and said, 1T seems to me you
are not only justified in sinking but
required to sink for the time being
any tenacity as to your respective
claims in the matter at issue between
you.
In my Judgment the situation inn
peratively requires that you meet
upon the common plane of the neces-
stiles Of the public With all the
earnestness there is in me / ask that
there be an immediate resumption IF
operations in the coal mines in some
such way as will without a days un-
necessary delay meet the crying need
Of the people. do not invite discus
sion of your respective claims and
positions. l appeal to your patriot
ism, to the spirit that sinks per
sonal considerations and makes indiv-
idual sacrifices for the general good "

AGRICULTURAL.
THE POULTRY YARD.

The poultry man should determine,
before beginning business, what he
intends to do or rather what his
speciality will lie. Some prefer to make
a speciality of eggs, without regard to
whether chicks are sold or not. In
such case the expense j. small, and
coops, .incubators, breeders, covered
runs, and other necessary adjuncts in
the matter of raising chicks will be a
voided. AS no eggs will be Matched
other than such as may be required
to renew the stock the cocks will be
unnecessary. AS it will be preferred
that the hens lose no time at incuba-
ton the breeds should be non sitting.
The Leghorns are active and do not
endure confinement well, but they
are also more easily affected by cold,
their combs becoming frosted, and
their bodies susceptible to dampness,
should the wind be from the north
east. They may be selected in order
to supply eggs alone, and the obstacles
must be surmounted. In the first
place, though confinement cannot be
avoided, the fowls must not know
that they are surrounded by a fence.
They must have something TO do in
order to prevent them from becoming
discontinued. If kept busily scratch
ing for their food they Will have but
little inclination to roam. All that is
necessary is to keep pile of leaves,
cut straw, dirt, or whatever will
serve the purpose, and scatter grain
in it--not too much, but enough to
entice them to hunt for more. Better
keep them little hungry than to feed
too much at time Being busy and
taking exercise, they will have good
appetites, and should receive a varie-
ty of food, meat being an important
item, or part of the diet. To have
them warm, the coop should be made
as tight as possible with plenty of
room. The floor should be dry and
the walls lined with tarred paper.
Make the interior cheerful, and avoid
ventilation in such manner as to
prevent draughts. Always be on the
watch for lice and feed regularly. BY
these simple precautions the Legg-
horns can be induced to lay in winter,
and they will give so many eggs in
proportion to food consumed, as any
other breed.

A MAINE MANS OPINION.

= Our experience with Angora goats
is that they will live almost entirely
in the summer upon weeds and bushes
and in winter it is better to feed
coarsest hay, because they prefer the
leaves and weeds IN such hay to the
best quality of timothy or red-top
that we can furnish them, so that the
expense of maintaining them either
in summer or winter, is very small.
There are probably thousands of farm
ers in the United States who would
make q larger profit in keeping An
CORA goats than they would in keep
ing sheep, not taking into account
the fact that their pastures would be
much benefited by being cleared of
every kind of underbrush that grows.
Although Angoras will not flee from
dogs as sheep do, but trun and face
them, we have lost as many goats as
sheep by dogs. Hungry dogs are more
than a match for flock of goats. 1t
is important to dip them if they are
to be kept free from vermin.-J. H.
r., in Rural New Yorker.
