A Money-Breeding Hen.

One of Prof LowelFs hens at the
Maine station laid 251 eggs last year.
He has number Of hens with records
of upwards Of two hundred eggs in
a year Such records ought to be con-
vincing to the doubling ones. It is
difficult to say where the limit of pos
sibility lies in careful, systematic
breeding; certain it is that the limit
has not yet been reached. Such re-
suits are not, Of course, of common
occurrence, but are the product Of a
carefully planned system of breeding
of several consecutive years, together
with the very best Of intelligent care
and feeding of the fowls. But after
ALL records like these serve a pur-
pose and should encourage every prac-
teal poultry keeper to take extra
pains in the breeding, feeding and care
of his hens. 1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Lowell accomplished this result
with trap nests by keeping individual
egg records and pedigrees Of each hen
and the chickens he raised from them.
There is pretty big gap between the
hen that lays from seventy-fve to-
eighty eggs in a year and those that
lay two hundred. Yet on many farms
the focks will not average over eighty
eggs per year per hen. If they pay
and they do-what handsome
profit must there be in flock of hens
that produce for their owner twice
that number of eggs in a year, and a

dred and fifty or sixty eggs per fowl
per year. is not out Of the reach Of
any man or woman who will get the
right kind of stock and give them the
right kind of care.

FRIGATE PHILADELPHIA,
Hull of Famous American Vessel
Found in Harbor of TripoIi.

Charles Wellington Furlong made a
systematic search at Tripoli of Bar
barry for the lost remains of the fam
Gus America frigate Philadelphia, de-
stroyed in the harbor of Tripoli 100
years ago. He tells in Harper's
Magazine the romantic story of how
he found the vessel at last:
In less than an hour my search
was rewarded by seeing the ends of
the great ribs of a vessel pretruding
through dull-colored ell-grass | no.
ticed that this grass seemed to follow
the lines of the ribs, and carefully
noted it's character, further to aid
me in my search. Examining these
closely, no doubt was left In my
mind but that they belonged to-
large vessel, and ordered the boatmen
to let fall the anchor
''The lead gave us two and half
and three fathoms. Hastily undress-
ing, we dived several times. Mr.
Riley first succeeded in buoying the
spot by going down with the line and
slipping it over one of the ribs.
While on the bottom I carefully ex-
amined the timbers. These were
honeycombed in certain parts in a
peculiar way. The continual sea-
wash of a century seemed to have
made it's inroads at the softest places,
and they gave every appearance ~
form of partially burned stumps.
The wood seemed almost as hard as
iron Much of it was enclosed in a
fossil crust, and only by repeated eff
forts I succeeded in breaking Off a
small piece. The many winds from
the desert and the shifting shoals Of
sand had filled in and around the fri
gate, and her keel must have lain
buried nearly two fathoms deeper
than the present sea bottom. The
freshening breeze made further in
vestigation impossible; SO, after TAX
ing bearings and leaving the spot
buoyed, we returned to the shore,
landing amid an awaiting, curious
crowd of Turks, Arabs and blacks.
six days later, through the cour-
tesy and interest of the officers Of the
Greek warships Crete and Paralos, a
ships cutter and machine boat with
divers were placed at my disposal

Care of Alfalfa.

So new is the alfalfa crop to most
farmers that too much stress cannot
be laid on the Importance of cutting
the crop at the proper time. This sub
iect was touched upon in this depart
ment recently, but demands attention
again. One of the best authorities on
alfalfa raising says the late cutting
Of the first crop Injuries the plant more
than at any other time, and we have
found it profitable to cut alfalfa the
first time as soon as one-tenth is in
bloom, even though the weather was
bad and we knew the crop would spoil
in curing. The increased yields from
succeeding cuttings over that cut late
much more than makes up for the loss
of the first crop.
Alfalfa growers who are trying the
crop for the first time should bear the
above statement in mind, for, as stat
ed, it is not only the injury to the sec
ond and succeeding crops or cuttin?
that should be avoided, but there i<
danger Of such utter ruin to the plant
itself that the field has to be plowed
under and reseeded. One can better
afford to sacrifice the first cutting than
to run the risk of losing the entire set
ting. In the matter Of curing alfalfa
hay, bear in mind that the cut hay
must be protected from the rain, for
once we'll wet after cutting there Is no
care or treatment that will restore its
feeding value. Large owners Of al
falfa have not hesitated to have small
caps made so that the small cocks al
hay can be protected in case of need;
they find it pays. If the two points
in raising alfalfa here given are iol-
lowed, one will have little trouble in
harvesting the crop.

causes of forest fires, in the order of
their Importance, as follows: Railroads,
carelessness in clearing land, fisher

Of the common practice in the rural
districts of giving sportsmen credit for

Field and Stream, to quote the follow

Chittenden says: Among the numer-
GUS causes of forest fires the getting
beyond control of fires set for the pur-
pose of clearing land occupies a prom
inent place. There are many persons
among the farming community who do
not appreciate the danger Of burning
brush in the neighborhood of wood
lands during a dry time. Unfortunate
ly the danger from this source is not
due entirely to ignorance or simply to
thoughtlessness. There are many per

Every farmer should aim to grow
something better than has been pro
duced. BY thorough cultivation, and
in the introductions of varieties which
are new and superior is the only way
this can be done.
Experiments lead Messrs. Harper
and Peter Of the Kentucky experiment
station to believe that fiinty kernels
from the middle Of the head should be
selected from early maturing varieties
for developing a high protein type Of
wheat.
Many tillers of large farms have
had their noses in contact with the

they spread their capital and labor
too thinly over a large area. Sell or

the year.
The United States Consul General at
Calcutta, in a recent report, writes as
follows: my attention has been
called to the slow and wasteful har-

by hand or by bullocks treading out
the grain, and the winnowing is done
by hand. Both processes are slow and
wasteful. Thrashing and winnowing
machines adapted to this country, ca

think, prove great success. Some Of

harvesting were introduced much
larger crops would be raised and saved.

our manufacturers to take advantage
of the conditions here and to reap a

BLOOD SHED
In the Chicago Strike Troub-
Leone Man Killed.

Chicago, May 3.-The progress of
the teamsters' strike in Chicago was
marked yesterday by savage fight
ing, and during the day one man
was killed and many were injured.
In several cases men walking along
the streets with no interest in the
strike were attacked by hoodlums
and severely beaten. In one instance
a minister was assaulted. Judge
Kohlsaat issued a temporary injunc-
tion on the petition of the express
companies, restraining all persons
from interfering with wagons or
employees. The Employers Associa-
tion has failed to secure the cooper
alton Of the Team Owners assOcia-
ton against the teamsters, the team
owners refusing to deliver any coal
to any firm where a strike is in pro-
gress. The railroad men, who were
relied upon to aid in influencing the
team owners, have declined to be
drawn into the controversy.

NO "T1Ps"rN WISCONSIN
Governor Signs Bill to Put
End to Gratuities to
Employees.

Milwaukee, May 3. No tips can
be given in Wisconsin. The anti
graft bill recently passed by the
legislature has been signed by Gov
La Toilette and no gratituities Of
any kind can be given to oemployes Of
any firm by outsiders without dan
ger of arrest and fine.
While the bill was aimed original
" at the practice Of paying commits
sions to employees of large stores or
corporations whose interest went a
great way in the purchase Of goods.
it is held that it applies as well to
tip giving, and anyone feeling a
a waiter is just as liable as a person
giving the employe present to have
him recommend the goods of the Civ
er.
Merchants are asking for copies of
the law to see just what they are up
against. Among minor employees
there is CONSERVATION lest they be
deprived Of the tips which in many
cases make a large part Of their en-
oluments in lieu Of salary.
