Mating Fowl.

In the PRODUCING of stock of all
kinds too much care cannot be given
to selecting and mating, so as to have
a product that is an improvement on
what you had to produce from. This is
especially necessary with poultry.
Those who can select of their best and
so pair them as to produce better than
the parent stock have made an adj
vancement. "~he,e who fail / this are
continually reducing the qualit of
their stock. or going backward in place
of forward.
No matter or what -urpcse we may
keep fowls, it should always be our in
tent to improve them If keeping
them for market eggs, we should mate
OF pair them, not only to increase the
egg yield, but to increase the quality
and size of the egg produced as well.
If you keep Leghorn hens aim to in.
crease the size of the hens just a lit
tie rather than to allow them t. grow
smaller. With this aim to have pull.
let's that will lay better than did their
mother hen. If you gain increase in
size of the pullets and add to the mum.
Der of eggs produced you will then
surely gain in size of the egg pro.
duced, because the increased size of
the hens will add size in proportion to
the eggs. While this is true with Leg.
horns, it is not always the case with
such fowls as Cochins md Brahmas,
but it is true that an understood Leg.
horn lays a smaller egg than will the
larger sized specimen of the same
breed within a reasonable INIT.
Those who keep fowls with no sci
purpose for improvement seldom nd.
vance very much, while those who
are continually seeking new ways and
new methods, through the use OF
which they may improve, are always
gaining in quality and il profit. 1t is
just as easy to 90 forward as back.

thousands who make money continu

Held Un by Bold Footnads.

About midnight one night recently,
when Clarence Saterlee was about to
cross Main street bridge from West
Millville, he was held up by two col
ored men, one of whom grabbed him
while the other started to search his
pockets. Saterlee called Justify for
help, and was knocked senseless by a
blow on the head. Policeman Sawyer
appeared and the rufians took to their
heels. The policeman gave chase, but
the miscreants disappeared in the
darkness. Thieves broke into the cafe
of Miss Annie Reeves, west of the
bridge, the same night, and looted the
place, carrying off in a wagon a lot of
provisions, together with all the fix
lures they COULD tear from the interior.

A Hearty Handshake.

Something about a mans Lealth may
be told in the way he shakes hands.
The firm, hearty handshake Of a sin
eere man may be rather rough, SO that
one is taught he has a grip, but it in
dicates stamina. While denoting alb
S4Ace of tact and refinement, it points
10 physical strength. The labby hand
that returns no pressure belongs to
the person who has no great strength
of body nor mind. The quick, nervous
temperament, and its opposite, the
nerveless, passive onc, belong to per-
ons in i'll health. The hand that
areatens to collapse means fear. The
eel of the hand called magnetic indi-
ates health and blindness. and Il d.

AGRICULTURAL.
eseesessesssseeeeee
Fruit frees For Adornment.

41CC6 IO1
Why not sometimes combine utility
and beauty. and plant here and there a
fruit tree for ornament? True, variety
is the spice Of life, and while the ap-
pie, pear or peach may be made very
beautiful and useful as well, we also
like other trees and would by no means
discard them. The nut trees are also
welcome guests, and there is abun-
dance Of room on the ordinary farm
for all; so let us give them all a place
and never let this spring pass without
a generous planting of some or all of
them. l wonder if any of us fully re-
alize how a slight expenditure of cash
and labor will enhance the real value
OF u homes? But this is not all, for
the higher side Of life is thus intensi-
fed and developed and this can never
be reckoned in dollars and cents.

Henry CLAW Trumbull, speaking of the
mission of the lowly road in the Christians
life and its relative Importance in compare
son to the mountain road, says: There are
times in every life when the soul stands on
the clear heights, and no task seems to be
too difficult to the boundless enthusiasm
of the moment. But what is to be done
when the soul has descended into the
plains, and the enthusiasm is gone and the
task remainss Only to go on bravely,
trusting to the clearer vision on the noun

fill the place Of enthusiasm. The noun
tain and the plain has each its place in
Christian life-the mountain for the clear
vision ahead, the lowly road along the

There are no times in life when oppor-

whether the man turns to the lower or the

United States Troops Defeat Them and
Capture Cannon and Ammunition-The
Sultan of Sulu and His Subjects Conn
q manded to Obey the Laws of the Phil-
ippine Commission.
Washington, D. C.-Secretary of War
Taft told the House Committee onfIn-
sular Affairs of a rebellion that has
broken out among the MorOs because
of a proclamation issued by the Phil
ippine Government abrogating the Sui
tan of Sulu treaty and prohibiting
slavery. General Wade reported from
Manila that a accommodating force east
of Cottababo, Province of Moro, vas
attacked by a force of Moros, who re-
belled against the anti-slavery law.
General Wood telegraphed that the
Moros were 1anked and their outworks
taken. Twenty-one old Spanish can
non and thirty-three Lantaka guns,
besides large quantities of arms and
ammunition were captured in the
works, which were strong and well
constructed. The Moro loss was con-
siderable. There were no casualties
on the American side.
In reporting this engagement to the
House Committee, before which-he APP
peared in the interest of the bill to pro-
vide for the more effective administra-
ton of civil government in the Phil
ippines, Secretary Taft explained that
some time ago he sent a cablegram to
Governor Luke Wright, telling him to
notify the Sultan of Sulu and the Dat
tos, who made a treaty with General
Bates on August 20, 1899, that the
treaty is ~abrogated and annulled,
and that the Sultan and his Dattos
have forfeited the annuities which
were to be paid them under the treaty,
and that they must henceforth obey
the laws of the Philippine Govern
ment. Secretary Taft took the posi-
ton that the Sultan of Sulu treaty was
a mere modus viyendi. and that it has
not been complied with by the Sultan
of .Sulu.
Before Secretary Taft entered upon
the duties of Secretary of War Secre-
tary Root directed the Philippine Com
mission to take up the subject of legis-
lation for the Moros and submit it to
Washington for approval. The object
was to do away with polygamy and
slavery and introduce a form of trust
worthy government in the Moro coun-
try.
AS the Moros are Mohammedans,
there is more than ordinary difficulty
in governing them. 1t has been said
that our success thus far has been due
to an understanding with the Porte un-
der which the pilgrims to Mecca have
been influenced every year to go home
and counsel good will toward the
United States.
