Birds Preference in CoIors.

Red will annoy turkey cock as
much as bull, but sparrow will not
let it disturb it's mind. But if one
fiirts a blue rag in front of a Gagged
sparrow's eyes he will go frantic with
disgust. Sparrows and linnets, too,
will refuse food offered them on a
piece of blue paper and dislike the ap.
pearance of any one wearing blue
dress. Medium light blue affects them
most and blue serge they scarcely
mind at all. Thrushes and blackbirds
object to yellow, but will use red or
blue dried grasses left about their
haunts to build the outlayers of their
nests Yellow grasses they WI not

1t is yet long time before grass
will be abundant enough to give much
green food to the fowls. Long before

In-Breedino of Fowls.

The in-breeding of fowls is not so
much in disrepute among fanciers as
it was. We have theories, but the
results of experiments are not always
what we expect. The same seems to

ing fowls. 1t is subject of which
we do not know so much as we
thought we knew.

Sick Fowls as Breeders.

A man should know enough about
his fowls to be able to determine
which fowls laid the eggs that are to
be used in Matching the new brood;
whether they be of common hens or
of turkeys. A sick fowl or one that
has been sick should never be used as
one of the parents of the new broods.

An overfed fowl is not a well-fed

American Action Hopeless in View of
 Russia's Situation.

Philadelphia Dec. 9.-Letters from President Roosevelt, through his sec. retaries, and from Secretary of State Root and Simon Wolf of Washington were presented to select council i'll response to the resolution of request recently adopted by select and com- mon councils, urging President Roose- welt to exert his influence to cause a cessation of the outrages against the Jews in Russia.
 One of the letters was from Acting Secretary of State Bacon, who stated that councils resolution had been call ed to the attention of President Roose- welt. Secretary Root replied in part as follows:
 ''I have to say that I quite concur in your view at this juncture any ac- ton by this government looking to the relief of your co-relisionists in Russ. a would be inopportune and un- availng. With the hoped-for estab
 
 lishment of more liberal form of government and the restoration of a administrative control over the re mote scenes of the occurrences which are so greatly to be deplored, this government may look for a practical response to it's repeated solicitations of freer treatment of American Heb rews. and may be in a position to eX- ert efficient good influence toward the more liberal treatment of all Jews in Russia and their better protection from the consequences of deep-lyine racial antagonism The problem is one which strongly attracts the sym- pathetic attention of this government
