The fifteen million coins made at

steamship Indraymo. They are in
strange and dangerous company and
it is not eXaggerating one bit to say
that every one aboard the ship will

long voyage is completed
Manila is 10000 miles away and it
will take the lndraymo at least fifty
days 10 get there. Besides the coins.
here is what the vessel has in her

each case containing fifty pounds;
seventeen cases of fuse. ten barrels
OF gasolene, ten barrels OF kerosene
and qauntity Of calcium carbide.
VIII the slumbers Of the crew be
peaceful upon this ship? It is not
likely. The explosives she carries are
enough to blow up the entire Philip

Many people when handling milk
seem to forget that they are dealing
with food products, says Prof. Wilbur
). Fraser, of the University of Illi-
nois. There is tendency for certain
unfortunate practices to invade the
dairy business. If filth is allowed to
get into milk or it becomes tainted at
any point of it's production, no amount
OF care either before or after can
make amends for the difficulty. A man
may be careful and correct in all of
his dairy operations but one, and yet
this one be the cause of his producing
low grade product. This one mis-
take not only Injuries his product but
the dairy market as well. This being
true, it is clear that the greatest care
should be exercised in every step of
production, manufacture and delivery
OF dairy products to the consumer.
Only those dairymen who exercise
such care can hope to secure the trade
OF people who desire product of s,l.
perior quality and are willing to pay
an advanced price. The real founda-
ton OF the whole dairy business lies in
the milk producer. The chief neces-
sity then in improving the dairy condi-
tions is to give the producer such
knowledge of the right methods of
handling and caring for milk that he
will not only see the necessity for
such methods but may also know how
best to accomplish this purpose.

WILD CREATURES DE OUT.
DwindIirg Of Species Something Re.
yond Our Control.


Attempts at the reintroduction of
any wild creature that has become ex-
tinct very seldom meet with success.
"We are afraid" says London Coun-
try Life, that the efforts made by
the late Lord Lilford, Lord Walsing-
ham and others to reintroduce the
great bustard into Suffolk have met
with the usual fate. Sixteen birds
were turned loose in 1900 and now
only one pair remain and, unfor-
tunately, their domestic arrangements
succeeded as badly this year as they
did last, the eggs laid being infertile.
It is worthy of note that the nests
this season and last season were
both placed in the field where the last
great bustard nested sixty years ago,
before the bird disappeared from Suf-
folk The history of the experiment
goes tar to show that the dwindling
of a species is generally due to
causes over which man has no con-
troll. There are cases, such as that
OF the bittern, where one can under
stand that extinction has been due to
such causes as the drainage of the
moss and mire, but there are others
for which no explanation is given.
For example, why should the kite,
once the commonest of London birds,
now be esteemed rare visitor? Or
why should the red-legged chough
have almost vanished, while the jack

New York Milk Supply.

One hundred and fifty thousand
COWS constituting an immense herd
that would do honor to any great cat
tie range of the west are engaged the
year round in supplying all their milk
to the people of Greater New York
More than one million quarts of this
fluid are consumed every day in the
American metropolis The stream
flows to this center from five states
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva.
MIA, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The milk industry in the largest city
Of America engages capital cf prob.
ably sixty million dollars, says Leslie's
Weekly. The territory which supplies
New York city with this essential ar
ticle of food is divided, in a general
way, into two zones. The boundary OF
the outer zone is four hundred miles
from the city and the width of this
zone is about two hundred and fifty
miles. The inner zone is about one
hundred miles wide, the outer boun,
dary being about one hundred and fifty
miles from New York, wnlle the inner
boundary is fifty miles from the same
center. The area within fifty miles
of Manhattan Island produces prac-
tically no milk, for this large district
is not pastoral; it is filed with subur
ban towns, all tributary to the busiest
city in the world. In this fifty miles
area there is no room for pastures and
COWS. And the suburbs of the city are
gradually crowding the dairy district
farther and farther away.

Willing to Wait,

Mr. Paul Van Dyke; I'VE had been
out hunting all day and had not had
snot al anything. Finally along
toward evening We spied a covey OF
partridges in the long grass at the
end of a frozen pond. We were hoth
excited and Henry began to run
around the edge of the ice toward
the partridges.

The Way to Success.

F. From Farmers Review: 'T.he lessor
the worlds most eminent and success
ful men have taught us most forcibly
is the Importance of enthusiastic eff
fort. The accomplishment of any
given object in life is based largely
upon how intently we are taken ul
with it's Importance. Our hearts must
De in our avOcation. He who wills tic
DO with his whole heart, conQuers o.
dies in the attempt. Too much OF
what the world has seen fit to desig
nate as pastime or pleasure enters into
our everyday existence. Its presence
can be traced to every mans daily
activities. Each successive duty we
perform has it's degree of earnestness
or Indifference. The poultryman whc
takes the details of his business to bed
with him at night and arises with it in
mind is not disappointed in his assor
citation. Enthusiasm cOnquers al;
problems and perplexities anG
knows no failures. 1t finds
way or makes ore. Ignorance,
false theories, mistakes, all are but
stepping stones to success to him
who wills with enthusiastic zeal.
When the breeder of prize fowls puts
determination, intelligence and entbr,.
siasm correctly proportioned into his
mating, handling, advertising and ex.
hibiting, something always happens.
What happens is success. Where one
fails another is successful. Out OF
the same soil wheat and tares are pro
duced, from the same family, per
haps, the successful business man and
the pauper, the reformer and the
drunkard. One presses forward to
definite aim in life with enthusiastic
zeal, the other drifts aimlessly here
stances. AS our lot in life is what
we choose to make it, so surely wiN
our poultry operations prove successes
or failures in proportion to the amount
of earnest zeal and energy there is in
evidence. It is from a fancier's point
of view that speak, and few things
| consider of vital Importance. You

in success or failure. Always use good

SEA ISLAND QUEEN
CLEVER WOMAN HAS ONE HUN.
DRED THOUSAND SUBJECTS.
Through Her Own Efforts Mrs. Paul
Kobe Has Acquired an Immense
:Fortune and Civilized Fierce Tribes
of :CannibaIs.

One Of the richest women in the
world is Mrs. Paul Kobe, who is a
virtual queen over 100000 South Sea
Islanders, who only a score of years
ago were among the tiercest cannibals
ON earth. TO her subjects she is
known as Queen Emma, and by her
own intelligent efforts she has accum-
ulated within twenty years the vast
sum of $20,O00,0O0.
Twenty years ago Queen Emma,
upon the death of her first husband,
Edward E. Forsyth, an Englishman,
found herself not only poor but heav-
lily in debt, but even then her knoWl-
edge of trade conditions in the west
ern Pacific was quoted as authorita-
tive, and by making use of this knowl
edge and taking advantage of her op-
portunities she quickly paid off her
Indebtedness and laid the foundations
of her present large fortune.
At that time what have been known
since they became dependency Of
Germany, in 1884, as the Bismarck
archipelago, "a group of islands lying
hsrthWest of New Guinea, were almost
unknown. The largest of these islands
were formerly known as New Britain,
New ireland and the Duke of York
group, but now appear ,0n the map as
New Pomerania, New Meck1enberg.
and New Lauenberg respectively
Their area is about IS 200 square miles
and the population is estimated at
1SS,OO0.
Queen Emma was the first person to
recognize the fertility of the group,
and for comparatively small sums
acquire title to many thousands OF
acres. She established plantations and
as her business increased put on a
line of vessels of her ,own that now
ply between the islands and Austria
Jia
At first her position pn the islands
was not only uncomfortable, but ex-
tremely dangerous. The cannibalistic
natives were hostile and suspicious,
but she gradually acquired such int1u-
ence over them that Df nearly the
entire population she is now the vir-
tual ruler She gives them their laws,
marries and divorces them z@and. is
looked upon as the final arbiter in all
matters Of dispute
She has gradually civilized many OF
her dependents during the years OF
her supremacy over them and it is
now seldom that they appear in pubic
without at least a girdfe around their
lolns. On one plantation alone OF
l2O0O0 acres in New Pomerania she
employs 1900 natives and fifty Eng
lishmen and Germans as over5,ers.
One of the smaller plantations is de-
voted to the South Sea island cotton
and comprises $4,000 acres. Other
products of her plantation are rice,
coffee. tea, bananas, copra, bread fruit
and betel nuts
Although a Samoan princess the
United States have almost as much
claim to Queen Emma as the South
seas. Her father was Jonas M. Coe.
Tor twenty-five years American con.
sui at Samoa, who married there a
princess of the reigning house. She
was his eldest daughter and was edu
Gated in Australia and San Francisco
AT the time Of her marriage to Mr..
Forsayth she was considered the most
beautiful woman in Samoa Her pres-
ent husband is Lieut.. Paul Kobe for.
