The Malays are supposed to be OF
the parent stock of the Black Javas,
but have never been popular in this
country. They are bred for exhibition
only. not possessing qualities for prac-
tical purposes. They are of medium
size, and in carriage are particularly
upright and powerful looking. the
back being almost always at an angle
of forty-five degrees. Their plumage
is very close and red or maroon and
black in color. The body tapers from
the broad shoulders to the tail, which
droops almost in a straight line with
the back. The thighs are long and
powerful. A striking feature of the
Malay is the head. 1t is long and
snaky, the brows over the eyes heavy
and projecting, giving the bird a cruel
and fierce expression; the neck is long
and scanty Of hackle, the skin of the
throat is a bright red, and the scanti-
ness of the plumage causes the red to
show distinctly. and this is a charac-

In an experiment to test the loss
of moisture in incubator eggs the
West Virginia station found that the
smaller eggs lost a very considerable
larger quantity of moisture than did
the larger eggs This is as it should
be, as the relative surface on the larger
eggs is less than on the smaller eggs.
The result should be that the moisture
content of the large eggs should be
more constant than in the small eggs
and in some seasons this should give
Matching results in favor of the large
eggs.
For good many years now the ad-
visers of amateurs in poultry raising
have been advising to feed the young
chicks on hard boiled eggs chopped

are declaring that the practice is not a
good one, and that the hard boiled
eggs are too hard on the young chicks.
We would like to have the opinions
Of some Of our readers on this point.

New Zealand summer Butter.


The New Zealanders are preparing
to invade in earnest the English and
other European markets with their
butter. They say they are not afraid
OF the presence in the market of ST.
berian and Russian butter They ar
que, and that rightly, that the geo.
graphical position of New Zealand
gives her an advantage not possessed
by any European nation. Her location
in the southern hemisphere makes it
possible for her to be turning out fresh
grass butter when Europe is buried in
snow. Winter dairying is not a great
factor in northern Europe and viii
not be in this generation. New Zealand
needs only follow summer dairying.
She can ship her butter to Europe and
have it reach there at a time when
butter is at its highest price on ac-
count Of dry feed and winter condi-
tions- In other words at the season
OF the year when butter sells highest
in Europe 1T is being made cheapest
in the southern hemisphere.

A LADIES' AUXILIARY.
Organized to Assist I'm Savannah
Odd Fellows Bazaar.

OuO Fellows bHkAAr.
The Odd Fellows Executive Commit
tee, which is in charge of the bazaar
to be given after Easter. the proceeds
of which are to go towards the estab-
lishment of a uniform rank, held a
meeting yesterday evening at the res
idence of MIR. E. a. NJ. Schroeder in
connection with the Ladies' Committee.
which has volunteered to assist in
their undertaking.
1t has been the earnest desire of the
gentlemen in charge, to interest a num-
ber of popular ladies from the outset,
and with all other details we'll under
way and the accomplishment of good
deal of soliciting during the Last few
weeks, the organization of a ladies'
committee at this time was consider
ed quite essential.
The ladies' department of such an
affair is generally successfully con-
Quoted and in the selection of Mrs. r.
A. M. Schroeder, who has taken charge
of this department, the committee is
well pleased in having secured the CO.
operation of an efficient and helpful
factor.
AS rule men know but little of
the value attraction and arrangement
of a display of the many articles conf
prising the women's department and
that are so interesting to the ladies.
1t is anticipated that great many
contributions of this kind will be given
to the bazaar by the lady friends of
Odd Fellowship IL. this city.
A complete list of 600 prominent la
dies of Savannah has been furnished
and to each of these ladies an appeal
has been mailed during the week past
for contributions in the line of sew
ing, fine needlework, embroidery, laces,
etc. to be disposed of at the bazaar.
The refreshments, also. will be
looked after by the Ladies' Committee.
The Soliciting Committee wish to
express their thanks for the many do
nations received so far, some of which
are very valuable and handsome. The
fact alone that not even one of the mer-
chants of the city approached so far
has refused TO make a donation of
some kind or other, makes the commit
tee hopeful of a most successful ba-
zaar.

followed by the solicitor with view
to showing that the murderer in no
manner acted as he has since his ar
rest. The first question he asked when
arrested was whether his wife was
dead, and the next was a request that
Twiggs & Oliver be sent for at once.
These acts the solicitor submitted were
not those of an insane man who did
not understand what he had done. Mr.
Osborne kept up a hot fire for two
hours and riddled the defense before
he concluded.
The Judges Charge.
Judge Barrow's charge was an able
and impartial one. He said that, fort
unately for the jury, the contentious of
both sides were within a very small
circle. after they had been brought to
their final analysis. 1t was charged
that the burden was on the defendant
to establish by a preponderance of ev-
idence the plea of insanity. The court
ruled that even If the prisoner had been
suffering from a diseased mind, If he
could distinguish between right and
wrong at the. time of the homicide, and
was not overpowered by some delusion
connected with the taking of his wife's
life, 1t would be the duty of the jury
under the law to convict. 1t was
charged that the fact that his brain
might have been diseased when the
homicide was committed, if he under
stood right and wrong, he would be
guilty of murder under the letter of
the law.
After the jury had retired for de-
liberation Sergeant of Police Walter
Fleming and Patrolman Godbold ap-
peared in court to answer rule for
contempt that had been issued against
them. They had been subpoenaed by
the defense and were absent Thursday
afternoon when called. The defendants
stated that they had been told that
their presence would not be required
any more, and for that reason had
wandered from within the hearing of
the bailiff's voice. Judge Barrow stat
ed that under the circumstances he
would accept the excuses offered, but
warned the officers to be careful when
summoned as witnesses in the future.
