Nothing makes hens lay like green

Nothing makes hens lay like green bone.
 The best way to make hen happy and start her singing is to give her something to do.
 High time to get ready for spring work. Breeding pens. coops, cages, nest boxes, feed-troughs make now.
 These late matches will be laying in March and April while the early broods are matching out their first clutches.
 The production of feathers in either young or old fowls will be materially as- sisted by liberal supply of bone and shell.
 Some burn the bones. then crush them. but while this is good it is not nearly as good as the fresh bone. The best way to feed bones is to put them through mill.

 Lieutenant Francis Boone Attempt- D cd to Escape.
 VANCOUVER, Wash, March 16.- Lieutenant Francis Boone, whose con- viction by court martial has been made public, made a desperate attempt to escape from the barracks and was shot by the sentries.
 Two serious but not necessarily fatal wounds were inflicted.
 One bullet entered the head and another pierced the shoulder. Boone is in a debilitated state of health and blood poisoning is feared. The attend ing surgeons. however, express the hope that they will be able to save his life. It is reported that Boone courted death at the hands of the sentries, making a break for liberty to draw their fire.

MAKING MONEY WITH BEES
The Bee Industry Has Grown Amaz- ingly During the Last
 Twenty Years.

Few city people realize that apiculture has developed into practical money making industry during the last 20 years, until now the average amount of honey put on the market each year is upward of 100,000,000 pounds, representing a money value of from $S,000, 900 to sl0.- 000,0
 In favorable locality one hive, with it's average colony of 35, 900 workers and a queen, will turn out from 30 to 40 pounds of honey, besides the 15 or 20 necessary to feed the hive through the winter.
 A few hives, in any ordinary country district, should each bring in clear two dollars year profit at the lowest esti- mate. On poultry and fruit farm where clover. sunflower and millet are grown for the poultry the yield of honey should be much larger if the apiary is restrict- ed to 20 or 30 hives. Their care will in- fringe but little on working hours; they feed themselves, so expense is confined to the necessary new hives for the fresh colonies, comb foundations and other equally small outlays.
 If you commence by purchasing a colony and hive that has been we'll cared for during the winter, they will come out strong in the spring, the queen will start Iaying again, and each day thousands of bees will be born, soon causing the hive to be so vastly crowded that the old queen and a swarm will issue from the parent hive, leaving the young colony in possession of the home and stores. If the old queen has had her wings properly clipped the season before. she will not be able to fly, so will be found on the ground near the hive with a group of bees around her and the principal swarm not very far away. Approach very quietly and place small wire trap over the queen (the traps are sold by all bee supply firms and cost 25 cents, think, says Kate Saint Main, in Pear sons Magazine). Then place the trap in the opening of the hive you desire the swarm to occupy. cautiously approach the full swarm. and with a soft broom sweep the bees into the hive. if the posi- tion they occupy makes it possible, as in the picture; if not. use box or pan and carry them to the hive and empty them in front. They will soon com- mence to occupy the new home. The slide of the queen trap can be opened and the bees inside will settle down to busi- ness.

held, lesser rates under the law as 1t stands today may be given to the lar ger shippers an unjust thing to the peo- pie of this country is being done by the law. know. the argument on which this discrimination is based.
 ''Now, in these days of universal commerce the rates. charged by the rail roads is one of the conditions upon which an individuals business will sue ceed or fail. To very substantial ex- tent, too, these rates are conditions au- thorized by the nation itself, for the railroads are the nations carriers and within the nations reasonable control, 50 that any difference in rates permit ted by law, even though based on the bulk of the tonnage handled, is a di- rect and effective blow by the nation itself at the principle that every man, whatever his present business size, shall be given equal conditions and equal opportunity. To destroy that principle is to destroy competition and further concentrate wealth in fewer hands.
 "What is new in the present agita- tion is that at its head is the president of the United States; that the people of the United States, regardless of their interest individually as shippers, have come to look upon the subject as na- tional concern. And what is new in the present agitation, and full of dan ger, too, is that from it's being ques- tion of proper relation of the railroads to the public on business and political principles it may become a movement under cover of which the social and political revolutionists will push for ward their assault upon the present or der of American institutions. Already they are climbing over the wheels into our conservative presidents wagon, de- termined to ride just as far as he Is compelled to carry them on his way to a just solution of this problem. AL ready they are claiming this whole movement as their movement Herein lies the embarrassment and the peril of the president. Right here, too. rises that grim menace that no friend of the institution of private property any where can afford longer to ignore.
 'The big brained railroad man has, it seems to me. his hour of opportunity now. Let him insist that there shall be no conflscation of his property or no arrangement of control or supervision that In the long run will amount to confiscation. Behind him on such an issue the country will be found to stand.
 But let him recognize. also. that in the nation there resides the reserve power of supervision and control, a power that the nation must exercise in the interest of equal citizenship. and let him join our president in estab- fishing a tribunal through which the nations power can be honestly and at all times promptly and adequately ex- ercised. That will bring peace. with justice. No other peace would last"

secure the proper Ven14Iatlon of his hives the bees will attend to the matter them selves, and this is how it is done: Those told of for the work secure an attach ment with their feet to the bottom of tho hive near the entrance and initiate the action of flying, the very rapid movement of the wings having precisely the same effect on a smaller scale as ventilating fan. With perhaps score or more of bees simultaneously engaged and work ing in relays very satisfactory result is obtained. ..

HER LAST VOYAGE.
Mrs. Stanford's Funeral Cere-
 monies at Honolulu.
HER GREAT SERVICE TO HUMANITY
Public Funeral Accorded San Fran. cisco Philanthropist as Body Started For America-All
 Flags Half Masted.

HONOLULU, March 16.- The re- mains of Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford. who died at the Moana hotel, were es- corted to the Congregational Central Union church here by officials of the police department, other territorial of- ficials, large number of citizens and the following pallbearers: Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford university; Timothy J. Hopkins, a member of the board of trustees of the university; Governor Carter, United States District Judge Dole, Carl Smith, a member of the house; !. F. Hacken- field, representing the Stanford inter ests here; c. NJ. Cooke, president of the Bank of Hawaii, and Charles Dole, A. Lewis and D. l.. Vandine, alumni of Stanford university, as we'll as by many graduates of the university re- siding in Honolulu.
 The church. which is one of the lar gest in Honolulu, was crowded. The procession was met at the church en- trance by Right Rev. William M. Kin caid. The services were opened by the Rev. MT. Kincaid. and the Episcopal burial service was read by Bishop Restarick. The choir sang Beneath the Cross of Jesus," Nearer, My God. to Thee'' and Lead, Kindly Light" which were favorite hymns of Mrs. Stanford.
 Rev. Mir. Kincaid in his prayer re- ferred especially to Mrs. Stanford's life and offered thanks for her noble example and her great service to hu- manity. The text for his sermon was taken from St. Paurs second epistle to Timothy. fourth chapter, seventh and eighth verses: II have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. For the rest there is laid up for me crown of righteous ness."
 At the conclusion of the service the cortage, which included the pallbear- CTS, the choir, Revs. Rsstarick and Kin caid, the police escort and many prom inent citizens, proceeded to the wharf, where there was an immense gathering of people. The remains were placed on board the steamer Alameda. The casket was surrounded with violet and black drapery and covered with fresh violets. Captain Dodwell received the remains, standing at the portway with uncovered head. The steamers flag hung at half mast, and similar mark of respect was paid by other vessels in the harbor.
 A number of splendid floral pieces, sent by Californians, members of the university alumni and others, were placed about the casket.
 Miss Bertha Berner and Miss May Hunt were escorted on board the vessel by Deputy High Sheriff Rawlins.
 President Jordan and University Trustee Timothy Hopkins also followed the remains.
 As the Alameda then left the wharf and began her voyage to San Francisco there was an intense silence, the usual concert by the government band on the steamers sailing was dispensed with and her departure seemed like the closing scene of funeral.

Advises Railway Men to Join the
 President In Establishing Just Tti- a. bunal-sees Serious Danger Unless
 Question of Control Is r Handled
 Delicately-Pleads For Equality.
 Judge Peter s. Grosscup of Chicago in commenting upon the presidents railroad rate policy at recent dinner of the Economic club in Boston said he saw serious danger in the whole question unless 1t was handled deli cately not only by President Roose- welt, but by the railroad men. The lat ter, he said. while insisting that there should be no confiscation of their prop erty or supervision that in the long run would amount to confiscation, should join with the president in establishing a tribunal through which the nations power could be honestly exercised.
 Continuing, Judge Grosscup said:
 Whatever may be its legal status, . policy of discrimination that gives to one set of persons in a community rates that are refused to the balance of that community or to certain com munities rates that are refused to oth- CT communities is policy of injustice, unjust both to the peIsops and com! munities discriminated against and unjust to the people of the United C<s<on q n oo<fpA<v
 Tt is none the less unjust that the means used to accomplish the discrim- ination may have been indirect Secret rebates are as unjust as direct differ ences in rates. Arrangements by which the private cars of particular shipper are hauled at a reduction that substan- tially overmeasures the capital invest cd by the shipper in such cars and ar- engagements to divide rates with ship pers who pretend to be operating inde- pendent railroads that in fact are only switches in a ratio not measured by legitimate switch charges-all these and all other devices of their kind are equally unjust. for the injustice of the thing, whether 1t be accomplished d. rectly or by circumlocution, is in the fact that one set of shippers are thus enabled to get their goods into . mar ket at cost that competitive shippers cannot obtain.
 This injustice is one that 1t is the business of our people as a nation to look after. for practically 1t is armed intervention by the railroads of the nation that In these days of small profits turns the fortunes of the con. test. If. as some of our courts have

Chief Barr Submits His Report
Of the Work Of Fire Depart
nent for Past Six Months
LOSSES AMOUNTED TO SIT, $40
Chief Recommends Three More Men
for the Department and New En-
CINE House for the West Side
One Death Recorded

Chief of the Fire Department James
is Barr has filed with the city clerk
his semi-annual report of the depart
ment for the half year ending with
July l. The report shows that the d.
partment has been decidedly busy
during the six months and that sp1en-
did work has been done.
During the six months the depart
ment was called upon to answer fifty
alarms of fire, and the loss incurred
by these fifty fires was ST., $4,000. Ga
this loss was insurance amounting to
SO, 600 SIS. The report shows that one
life was lost during the half year,
the one fatality being young Schmitz
who lost his life in the fire at the
Pitts paint store. At the same fire
the chief reports that three of the
firemen were injured. This fire is
shown to have been the most disast-
rous of the half year and to have
resulted in the largest loss. The
next heaviest loss is reported from a
fire at the Allen tannery.
The causes of fires are enumerated
in the report and it is shown that care
lessness with matches caused the
greatest number of fires. Gas stove
explosions, lamp explosions and
spontaneous combustion hold second
place III the list of causes of fires.
The chief shows that the present
value of property owned by the de-
partment is S46,128, the real estate
being valued at 5000. In a short
time the value of the apparatus will
be considerably increased by the adj
dition of a new chemical wagon now
being built by the Peter Pirsch COM
pany. It is expected that it will be
delivered to the city early in the fall.
The total expense of the depart
ment for the six months was shown to
have been $8,2s2.82. This would
make the annual expenses of the de-
partment about ST., COO.
In concluding his report Chief Barr
recommended many changes in the
department. He urged the appoint
nent of three new men and the set
ting ofrseven new fire alarm stations.
Aoded to this he urged the council to
take steps to erect a new station on
the West side of the city to be located
somewhere between Market and Jehne
streets, and Hcw1and avenue and
Ridge streets.
