THE FASTEST WARSHiP AFLOAT.
Proud Honor Held by the Kentucky
of the u. S. Navy.

of the U. S. Navy.
In stripping the KearSarge OF her
| laurels gained in her record-breaking
run from Southampton to New York
the battleship Kentucky, one of the
great fighting ships of the navy,
marked up the records for the navies
Of the world and demonstrated once
more the supremacy of American ma
val architecture.
In the fighting efficiency of the mod
ern battleship speed and endurance
are important factors. The floating
fortress must not only have the guns
and the men behind the guns, but she
must be able to cover long distances
at high rate Of speed without mis-
hap. Judged by these standards the
Kentucky must be crowned queen of
the American navy.
Under the command of Captain Rob-
ert NJ. Berry and with Rear Admiral
RObley d. Evans and staff on board,
the Kentucky made the run from Ma
deira, 1856 knots at an average
speed of 1882 knots an hour. The
knots from HongkOng in thirty-nine
steaming days, being an average of
315 knots a day, including the slow
passage of the Suez canal, a record
reached by no other warship Of the
United States. During her absence
of three years and seven months on
the other side of the world her total
sailing was 6S,157 knots.
Several years ago the Kearsarge
stuck her nose in the air and made
dash from Southampton to New York
at an average of 49, knots under
natural draught Upon this achieve
ment she has received the plaudits of
the whole country. 1t was pointed
out that she had steamed 5000 miles
before her record run without having
made repairs. But the Kentucky, be-
fore the run completed on Saturday,
had steamed 5000 miles to Honolulu
and back, making a total distance of
$4,000 miles, without repairs to en-
gines.

Many Instances Where They Have
Rrouaht Death to Victims.

The familiar story of mouse beinS
raped by a live oyster, though curl

kind. The great naturalist Frank
auckland records the story OF a rat
which was caught by the same appar'

tgo a common rail was found dead on

IN oyster, which was still alive. The
bird and oyster were removed ana

was that of a small salt water hsh
which was found in pool in the ROCKS

One would think that the mussel must

who was caught in a similar fashion.
He put his tongue into a half opened
oyster to get the juice and the oyster
caught him tight by the tongue. Jupi-

friends. why, the oyster couldnt

John Bright had curious method
of guarding against any failure of

speech OF Importance he wrote a sort
of essay On the subject and tore it up.
He then wrote another and treated it
in the same way, and finally a third.
In this Way he considered that he had

Under the caption, THE Union Pa
cifc Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory" the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department o.
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
while the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad, it's trials and
triumphs, are part of the history OF
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment Of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula
ton of the region was estimated at
10000. Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific Tin 1860 it had in
creased to 3,233,529. In 1900 it mum.
bered over 100000 of inhabitants
In this wonderful growth, with it's stu.
pendous increase in all the many-sided
phases of commercial, material and
intellectual prosperity, the Union Pa
cihc-as glance at the map will
shOw-haS had conspicuous share.
1t has opened vast regions Of fertile
country to settlers, and brought great
areas of an unknown and urproduc
tive wilderness into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham
let's, through it's efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
II may be of interest to know that
the total number Of manufacturing
plants and the value of their outputs,
combined with that OF the national
products as reported in the census of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of $500 000, 900
annually. or 223 times the original pur-
chase price. The same census reports
$4,000 also show the total population
to be 1S.343,255, Of which 8,303,096 in
habitants are living in the states ard
territories reached by the Union Pa.
cific. On the 1900 census figures. 1t is
estimated that the true wealth of the
Louisiana purchase can be stated al
about sl3,051 1858, 359, of which $780,

ly. The people here have never seen
anything like it and it may interest

From his infancy, Verne, the little
five-gear-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Barfoot of this place has been sickly.
His mother consulted a doctor, but he
did not begin to improve till some
one suggested that she try remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills. From IN
mistakable symptoms she had always
believed that his kidneys were the
first cause OF all the trouble, so she
bought box of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and began giving little Verne two pills
a day.
IA two or three days she noticed an
improvement and she kept on till he
had used about two boxes when to
her great Joy he was all right. Every
body remarks how much better Verne
looks and Mrs. Barfoot always ex-
plains, "Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his
life"

Raisirq Youno Chicks.

This year | will raise only about
wo hundred chicks, so will do all
my Matching with hens. | leave all
the chicks under the hen until she
is through Matching and until they
are all dry. This gives them a good
start. as chick to be strong must
not be chilled at this time. When the
hen is through Matching l remove her
to dry coop and feed her well with
whole corn. Then when the chicks
are thirty-six hours old l commence
feeding them five times a day, giving
them all they will eat up clean of
hard boiled eggs mixed with stale
bread crumbs, alternating with feed
of cracked oats. Feed this way for
two weeks when the feed of eggs
and crumbs is left off and feed of
small wheat, cracked oats, and millet
is fed alternately. Small grit and
fresh water or milk is kept before
them at all times. After they are
weaned they are put in colony houses
scattered over a five-acre patch. Each
house has bins of beef scraps, ground
bone, and mixture of grains, includ.
ing hulled oats, cracked corn, barley,
wheat and rye when possible to OBJ
tain all of them. These bins the
chicks have access to at all times.
Just before roosting time they are
fed a mash containing oats 80 parts,
barley % parts, rye Is parts, corn Is
parts, wheat 10 parts, oil meal
parts, all ground together and mois-
tened with water or skinned milk.
If the chicks are kept free from lice
they grow very rapidly when fed in
this way, and the feeding is done with
the least possible labor.

Fowls for the Farmer,


Most farmers are not fanciers and
10 not breed fowls to sell for breed
srs to others. Only now and then do
We find farmer that cares to handle
fancy breed because of the plum
age, or OF the ornament they may be
% his lawn. Most farmers want the
most useful fowl that can be found.
The farmer in breeding should keep
his point in mind and should not per.
nit himself to be persuaded to take
up with some high-priced breed OF
chiefly fancy points. If a farmer
wants fowl that he can show and
take prize on let him remember that
he can do 1t just as well with COM
mon breeds. provided they are pure,
as with some fancy breed of high
color. But leaving out the question
of shows, the farmer should breed for
some utility point alone. Say it is
egg production. Let him lose sight
of all showing and work to produce
egg layers. Let him select continual.
ly the best layers for producers. Ac-
cording to the testimony of showmen
he will have to say goodbye to his
hope for prizes. A noted exhibitor of
birds declares that egg laying gets a
bird so out of shape that she stands
no chance whatever in a, show. Yet
these are the kind of birds the farmer
wants. The most profitable egg pro-
ducing focks in the country have
been selected in this way and they
are not purchasable, as their owners
can make more out of them in egg
than in selling them for
breeders. With all such flocks the
question Of selection is a large one.
Culling must be carried on from year
to year, and that too relentlessly.
