CANAL LOBBY
SAID TO BE REsPoNsIBLE FOR
 PANAMA REVOLUTION.
Believed in Washington Allies Have
 Been Predicting a Revolt. It Will Help t Nicaragua.
Washington Special to Louisville Courier.

Washington Special to Louisville Courier,
 Journal. ..- :, There Is little doubt here in well-in- formed circles that the revolution for se- .cession in the State of Panama was caused through the agency of the Pana- ma canal lobby. Several newspapers which are actively allied with the Pan- anna canal ring have for the past two weeks been predicting just such a revo- lution, giving 1t editorial indorsement and severely criticising the action of the Co., lombian Senate in failing to ratfy the treaty. There was. therefore, little sur prise manifested in Washington over the statement given out at the White House that independence had been proclaimed and that the Liberals had busted the Colombian government officials.
 The advocates of the NIcaraguan canal here are not at all cast down by the lat est developments. In fact, many of them state that the revolution should force the President. no matter what he be- lieves to be the advantages of the Pan anna route, to declare for Nicaragua.

Morgan Anticipated Revolution.

lmOIk6h AhIACARatS0 x~SNOAuIAoA'
 Senator Morgan of Alabama. the leader of the Nicaragua canal advocates, said tonight that he had anticipated the revo-
 lution. and 1t was another strong argu-
 ment in favor of the Nicaragua route.
 "The duty of the President" said the
 senator, lis to at once open negotiations
 with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The
 Spooner act provided that in the event of failure to arrange terms with Colom-
 bia we should, after reasonable time
 open negotiations with Nicaragua and
 Costa Rica. Now, what is meant by a
 reasonable time? That term certainly
 did not mean to include long war. Pan anna has seeded and declared it's inde-
 pendence. Colombia will naturally att tempt to force her to remain in the re-
 public. How long war will be waged no one knows. It may be for years.
 "In the meantime. the government of
 the State of Panama is de facto gov
 ernment. It will not pass into a State of de jure government until all fighting has ceased and 1t becomes a permanent gov- ernment As de facto government we cannot deal with it. No treaty between the two countries can be made. With Co., lombia holding out against the independ- ence of Panama it cannot be seriously claimed that the United States should enter into an agreement with Panama for the construction of the canal. The President has been cooperating with the Jesuits, or the Colombian government. do not believe that he will now join forces with the Liberals in Panama.

or coarse sand where they can get 1T.
Feed five times a day for two weeks
and then three times. Skim milk
makes a very acceptable addition to
the bill of fare. If this can not be
had a feed of beef scraps three times
a week will help where chicks do not
have range. If chicks seem droopy
and do not thrive examine the top
of the head carefully for lice. If
YOU find any remove them and rub
lard IN the top of the head and on
the throat. This will not improve
the looks of the chicks, but will rid
them of the lice which if allowed to
stay will soon rid you of the chicks.
By the time they are six weeks old
if the weather is fine and warm they
will get on all right without the hen
and three or four broods may be put
together in a large coop where they
can roost till wanted for market or
are ready to lay.
If you have room it will pay to
separate the cockerels and pullets as
soon as they can be told apart.
Remember that a chicken is made
or spoiled in the first six weeks, and
if neglected then you can never make
it up afterwards no matter how good
the care. Miss your own meal if you
must but never let the chick miss his,
and when fall comes your stock will
be4both a pleasure and a profit to
you. j. S. JEFFREY.

A Boys Crop of Onions.

The June Country Life in America
prints a picture of a boy in an onion
patch, with this interesting story
about the young farmer and his
crop:
"The boy who raised the crop of
onions shown in Fig. 25 is Johnnie
Calden, of Merrick, Mass. In 1901,
when the picture was taken, he was
eight years old. His father worked
on a neighboring railroad, and, as
a side venture, grew onions at a
profit. The boy persuaded his father
to pillow this idle piece of land for
him and SOW it to onions. A bushel
of seed was used. The boy hoed in
dustriously out of school hours, but
the weeds got ahead of him. Instead
of despairing, he sold some things he
owned and, with the money thus
raised, he hired a man to run a Gull
tivatOr through the rows. Later, he
hired other small boys to help pull
weeds. He worked faithfully through
the long, hot summer and harvested
one hundred and nineteen bushels,
which he sold at seventy cents per
bushel. After deducting expenses his
net profit was eighty-three dollars
and forty cents. [ hope to see more
stories of such success in Country
Life"

MAKING A START WITH POULTRY.
Some Practical Notes by Poultryman
Jeffrey, of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station.

1t is not my intention to discuss
in this article the m~uch-debated
question whether it is better to start
by buying eggs or a breeding pen
of fowls. l will take it for granted
that the beginner has bought eggs
and is preparing to hatch them with
hens.
In selecting the hens to put on
the eggs take medium sized ones IN
good condition, but not over fat, and
those that are of a quiet disposition
so that they can be handled without
trouble.
The nest should be made 81 that
the hen does not need to jump down
to get on the eggs. A good plan is
to take a box of the proper size, re
move the cover, turn it on its side
and put a strip across the front at
the bottom about two inches wide to
keep the nest in place. Put some
moist earth in the bottom and hol-
low it very slightly, but be sure that
the corners are we'll filled up. Next
take some straw or fine hay to make
the nest proper. Before putting the
hen on the nest give her a good dust
ing with insect powder and also put
some in the nest. Do not give her
the eggs at once but put her on two
or three nest eggs for the first day
to make sure that she is going to take
to the new nest.
Always keep food and water where
she can get it when wanted, also have
a place where she can dust herself.
If a number of hens are set in one
room it is best to take them all off
to feed once a day and see that they
go back on the right nests, as two
are apt to fancy one nest and leave
the eggs in the other to get cold.
A few days before the hatch is due
use insect powder again on the hen
and nest so that the chicks will get
a fair start without lice.
Do not bother the hen when the
eggs are Matching as you are apt to
make her crush the chicks.
Leave chicks in nest twenty-four
hours after Matching and do not feed
them in the nest, as they need heat
more than food the first day or two.
If the weather is warm put the hen
and chicks in a coop in a shady place
on the grass if possible. An orchard
makes a first-class place, as it pro
vides shade and the chicks eat up
the worms and wormy fruit.
I like to keep the hen confined tc
the coop for the first week or ter
days so that the chicks can run il
and warm up at any time.
Feed the hen first as she has prob
ably not left the nest for two o.
three days, and will need food anC
water.
Now m the feeding of the
chicks, and on this subject there i
a great difference of opinion.
I have had the best results will
dry food from the start and it Ger
tainly is less trouble than mashe:

Treatment of the Neglected Orchards.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

everywhere. ln1S Is especially C1u0
of the "home orchard" Many of
these orchards, if they bear at all,
have become soil-exhausted and pro
duce only inferior-sized fruit, and
even that only in occasional seasons.
Such orchards are the homes of
worms and disease, and serve to re-
stock the more carefully sprayed and
titled orchards of neighbors with
these pests. Marketable fruit from
them is almost wholly unknown.
They are an eyesore and improbable.
An orchard of this kind ~hassrecently
been made the subject of an investi-
cation by Prof. F. W. Gard, of the
Rhode Island Station, and the results
are being published by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The purpose
of this investigation was to ascertain
whether with the ordinary Means
within the reach of farmers, such as
pruning, tillage, spraying, and fer
tilizing, such an orchard could be re-
juvenated and put on a paying basis,
The orchard selected for the expert
ment was a "home orchard' of less
than an acre in extent, and about
twenty-five years old. The trees had
made but little growth, and the
trunks were covered with moss.
The first season the trees were
pruned and the rough, loose bark
scraped off the limbs and trunks. a
half ton of commercial fertilizers
made up of 1875 pounds of nitrate Of
soda, 100 pounds of dried blood, 65(
pounds of acid phosphate, and -;
pounds of muriate of potash-was
applied and the ground plowed anC
kept titled until midsummer, afte,

was desired to get the trees started
at once into a good wood growth
hence nitrate of soda was used. Well
rotted barnyard manur would prob
ably have answered the same purpos,
very well, besides furnishing a con
siderable amount of humus to tn,
soil. After the blossoms fell, tn
trees were sprayed twice with Dor
deaux mixture and Paris green. TIL
bordeaux mixture cleared the linn
of hanging moss and the Paris gree
poisoned many of the worms. A
the end of the first season there wa
a marked improvement in appear
ance, yet the results were not strik
ing. The neglect of years can no
be remedied in a single season. Tn
treatment the second season wa
very similar to that of the first. Tn
trees we're sprayed with bordeau
mixture before the buds opened t
prevent apple scab and again afte
the blossoms fell. The cover crop O
the first year was peas and oats. A
these made only a small growth tn
nitrogen was continued in the con
mercial fertilizers applied, but il
stead of 1000 pounds only half thi
amount was used. Good tillage wa
continued. The growth of the tree

old that has just come in, and 7 am
having some trouble with her. Sbo
is perfectly gentle while I milk her
back teats, which are small but milk
easy and the milk flows very freely.
but when I milk the front teate
which are long and hard to milk, the
milk comes in a very small stream
and she kicks as though it panied
her. Now what [ wish to know is #
there is any way to enlarge the open
ing in the teat without ~injuring it?
[ saw in The Progressive Farmer
a few weeks ago some one inquiring
how to remove warts from a cows
teats. [ have three times in the last
year or two removed them by greas-
ing them after each milking with
pure hog lard, but it must be perse-
vered in. There appears to come a
scale on the wart after each g~reaSing
and the wart gradually disappears
without apparent pain. An old Dutch
neighbor of mine told me to try it
on a COW of mine which was sorely
afflicted with warts, and it removed
them all.

boy named Chambers, whose first
name cannot be learned at this time,
but whose home is at Muchakinock,
where his widowed mother resides,was
run over by sixteen coal cars in mine
No. 8, four miles east of Eddyville at
$3.50 o'clock this morning and his back
and legs We're broken. Though he is
still alive this afternoon, there is lit

The details of the accident cannot
be learned but it is understood that
young Chambers was driving a mule
and hauling a train of loaded pit cars
from the mine when he fell under the
first car and before the mule could be
stopped all of the wheels had passed
over his body, inflicting fatal injuries
and rendering him almost unrecogniz
able. The mine is owned by the
Northwestern Railway Co., and is un
der the same management as are the
mines at Buxton.
Young Chamber is the son of a wild

The universal anxiety of the govern

as the reason why the Servian situa-
fion is not likely to lead to complica-

the Austro-Hungafian army will i'm

is considered improbable.
