King Edwards Message.

st. Petersburg. May 17.-Sir Charles
Hardinge, the new British ambassador
to Russia, arrived in st. Petersburg
yesterday. Because of the part tho
ambassador is expected to play in car.
rying out King Edwards desire for
closer relations between Great Britain
and Russia, more than usual interest
in his arrival was displayed In oflicial
and unofficial circles.
The authorities here attach consid.
erable Importance to the prospective
declaration. Owing to the ambassa.
doris relations with King Edward, It
will be regarded rs being as much an
expression Of the views OF the King
as Of the British government. On his
part, Emperor Nicholas will make a
response which will be no less cordial
than the utterance of the British am.
bassador.
In ofIicial and diplomatic circles it
IL generally known that the establish.
ment Of better relation between Rus.
sia and Great Britain is the object
OF Sir Charles Hardinge's mission. The
SPECIFIC purposes. however, are still
veiled. despite the discreet Inquiries
made by foreign diplomats Of their
British colleagues here.

THE FARM AND RANGE
Pertaining to Poultry.

AS a result Of an address delivered
before members of the Chambers OF
Commerce at the weekly luncheon by
F. B. Coggeshall, proprietor and edi-
tor of the Western Poultry World,
says the Denver Republican, it is likely
that bill will be introduced at the
next session Of the Legislature making
chicken stealing felony.
Mr.. Coggeshall gave his audience a
great deal OF Information as to poultry
raising in Colorado. He said that the
Chamber of Commerce could do two
things to advance the chicken business
In the state. the first being to back up
bill making stealing of poultry fell
ony. and second. to provide prizes, such
as silver cups, to be presented to the
winners Of awards at the annual poul-
try show.
He also informed his audience that
fowls in this state were almost entirely
free from disease, but were attacked by
vermin to a greater extent than fowls
OF the lower attitudes. Among the in
sects that annoyed chickens, he said
was the lectularius, commonly known
as the bedbug.
Denver sent million and half dol
lars annually for imported poultry and
eggs and the states Of Wyoming, Utah
and New Mexico spent an equal amount
and New Mexico spent an equal
amount, II not more. While some peo-
pie were under the impression that
poultry could not be raised successful
ly in Colorado on large scale because
of the high altitude, such was a mis-
take. Many raisers had reported fall
ure, but the reason of the failure was
that they had employed the same
methods in the business as were en-
pioyed by raisers in the lower attitudes.
Instances were cited to show that 1t
was very profitable business. In one
case resident Of Denver had made suf-
ficient money out of his chickens to
pay for a good house and two lots.
In Denver and Colorado more eggs
and poultry were consumed per capita
than in any other city in the Union.
Mr.. Coggeshall bitterly arraigned the
chicken thieves and he told of a case
of an old couple living a short distance
out of the city who in a night had been
deprived of their means of livelihood.
Thieves had raised the chicken houses
belonging to the couple and carried
away 200 chickens-all they could find.
Hence 1t was advisable to pass laws
placing the hen-roost robber in the
same category as the burglar.
