Charge Of Increasing Obesity Obtains
Divorce for New York Man,

Charge OF Increasing Obesity Obtains
Divorce for New York Man.
Special to The Evening Times.
New York, Aug. 11.-Obesity as a
cause of divorce has taken its place
in the court records. The supreme
court yesterday granted a limited d.
vorce to Mrs. Sarah Link, of No. 204
Forsyth street, after her husband,
Louis, tailor, who married her when
she was sylph-like, and lost his love
for her because she became fat, had
declined to contest the suit.
Everything was settled amicably be-
tween husband and wife, and in court
yesterday the tailor said, with a trace
OF the old-time affection, that If his
wife ever reduced her weight to, 100
pounds, he would have the divorce an
nulled, and they would go keeping
house again. Mrs. Link now weighs
225 pounds.
MY husband has been neglecting me
long time," said she HE doesn't
take me to balls and parties as he used
to, and l am tired of his inattention
and evident lack of affection for me-
Link said: Eighteen years ago,
when I was married, my wife was
small and handsome. Every year she
has grown stouter, heavier. l have
spent hundreds of dollars on anti-fat
and medicines to reduce her weight,
but it's no use. She continues to grow.
Maybe sometime when she becomes
small again, as she used to be, we
shall be remarked"
When informed of her husbands in
tention to marry her again if she re-
duced in weight, Mrs. Link said, with
out trace of emotion in her voice:
This is the second time that the
Link craft of domestic bliss had struck
the shoals of obesity. Eight years ago
Link. it is said, obtained confidence,
ignored the law of the land by taking
another wife. Mrs. Link No. THE
principal in yesterdays suit-waited
three months and then had this Sec
ond marriage annulled.
The original wife again lived with
Link, and years of content followed,
but when she no longer dared step
upon the frail penny weighing ma
chimes and had to seek the grain
scales. Link told her he couldn't live
with her longer.

NEAT AS CHICK FOOD.

In recent report of experiments
in feeding chicks, the Rhode Island
Experiment Station says:
The use of the proper proportion
of animal food will pay handsome
profit through decreased mortality and
increased weight of the chicks. In
feeding bear in mind that chicks in a
state of nature spend practically all
OF their working hours in search of
food, and that they do not fill their
crops in ten minutes every two hours.
Feeding should be, as far as the time
OF the attendant renders profitable, a
continuous process, but by no means
a continuous gorge.
1.-THE experiment which led up to
this conclusion was with an incubator
hatch of 219 chickens. These were
separated into lots of about fifty each
and placed in similar breeders. For
thirty days all conditions were kept
alike except the rations. Pen A was
fed balanced ration of grains, meat
aud green food. The chicks grew and
thrived, and not one chick showed
sysmptoms of digestive disorder. The
deaths amounted to 3.9 per cent. In
pen B all animal food was withheld;
SAS uSoeho WOAC 90 pei Ccut, VI WHICH
Is per cent had bowel trouble Pen G
was fed on grain alone, all animal
food and all green food being omitted
from the ration; the deaths were 80 Z
per cent, of which 96.5 per cent show
ed digestive trouble. In pen D all
grain food was omitted; the deaths of
chicks were 63.7 per cent, of which
S5.S per cent showed bowel trouble.
All the living chicks were weighed at
the close of the test, and pen A show
ed the greatest average weight for all
breeds.
This experiment shows conclusive
ly that outside of the brooding and
conditions during incubation chicks
may be killed by improper feeding.
Where one does not wish to buy the
prepared beef scraps, the bones and
scraps from the table go far towards
feeding the baby chicks at first, If put
in shape so they can eat them"

CRATE rATTENINe THE CHICKENS

There are two methods of finishing
chickens for market that are practice
ed in both Canada and the United
States. One is to place the chicks
In crates and let them feed from
trough in front. The other is to re-
move the chicks from the crate and
are very successful In the hands of
experts. 1t seems to be easier to
learn crate fattening than it is to
learn the examining system although
better results are claimed for cram
ming. We made one test of crate
fattening last year. Twenty-four we'll
bred Plymouth Rocks we're selected
and placed in two crates. These crates
were each six feet long. twenty inches
high and twenty inches wide with
doors at the top and divided into
three pens, each containing four cock
erels.
The crates are made of Xxi inch
strips running lengthwise of the crate
and l 1-2 inches apart except the
front where the strips are placed per-
pendtcularly two inches apart to
enable the chicks to put their headh
out between them to eat. They are
inches from the front of the crate
The crates are set on saw horses
twenty inches from the floor SO the
ted floor onto sand underneath
where they can easily be removed.
The crates were placed in an open
front shed so the chicks had plenty
of fresh air without draught. In cold

kept in a fairly warm house.
These chicks were about three
months old when the test began and
the twenty-four weighed s7.4 pounds.
At the end Of twenty days they weigh
ed 1886 pounds, making practically
a gain of one and one-half pounds each
in twenty days. These chicks were
fed ground oats with the coarser
hulls sifted out) mixed quite wet with
butter milk or skim milk and slightly
sailed. They were fed three times
day for the first two weeks and twice
day thereafter. Care was taken not
to feed too much at once, and they
were never fed quite as much as they
would eat. They were fed grit and
charcoal occasionally and watered
twice day from the trough. It re-
quired 2-3 pounds of clear ground
oats or four pounds Of the sifted oats
for each pound of gain. With oats at
30 cents a bushel the cost of gain
would be 1-2 cents a pound. With
chickens worth from ten to fifteen
cents pound a good profit can be
realized. The quality of the meat is
improved very much so an extra price
can be secured as soon as people
learn what crate fattened chickens
are. We would recommend that farm
ers try this method of fattening so
they can realize the highest price and
be able to market the extra birds in
autumn.-Bulletin 81, Minnesota Ex-

PRESERVING EGGS.

So many requests for receipts for
preserving eggs are made, that we re-
print herewith that part of the report
on the subject which describes the
successful experiments in this line
conducted at the Rhode Island Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, in 1901.
There are number of methods of
keeping eggs which are of commercial
importance, the large surplus which
If thrown upon the market during the
season OF greatest production, would
reduce prices SO low as to entail loss
to both producer and handler, are now
we'll taken care of by cold storage
This process is certainly effectual in
keeping the eggs for months in dor
mant condition. They must be fresh
and good when placed in storage, how
ever. for they are certainly not i'm
proved by the process. A method of
managing eggs practiced by one of the
great packing houses in Chicago in
wolves the removal of the contents
from the shell, and putting up of the
same in cans in liquid form, either
mixed or whites and yolks separate,
for bakers purposes. Only the finest
of stock Is used, and no preservative
of any kind is employed. This method
Is In use on an extensive scale. An
other very effective process is that of
drying the separated yolks and whites.
If thoroughly and properly dried and
kept dry, they can be held long time
before using.
A bright, limpid, fresh laiding is,
however, the most satisfactory to both
poultryman and consumer. The sup
plying OF guaranteed fresh, clean eggs
to customers who will pay promptly
and we'll for them should be encour-
aged. 1t oftimes happens, however,
that good eggs are on hand or easily
and cheaply obtainable, and in the
interests of necessary economy the
poultryman or housekeeper desires to
keep them for several weeks or
months before using. Because of re-
quests for some simple and inexpen-
sive way of accomplishing this pur-
pose. number of experiments were
undertaken at this station to ascertain
what methods of preservation of eggs
can best be utilized to economically
and effectually hold the surplus of
eggs produced in spring for a few
months SO that they can be used to
advantage in the early fall and winter
to supplement the production when
eggs are scarce and expensive. We
advise and urge the use of the freshest
of eggs for the household when pos
sible, but our experiments prove that
good clean eggs can be easily and
cheaply preserved for considerable
length of time when necessary. Such
eggs, If ever offered for sale, should
mot he renreSonted aS fresh ctock
In studying the subject of preserva-
tives, the question arises. What are
the causes of deterioration. staleness,
mustiness and decomposition? The
answer is simple enough. Ferments
of germs cause changes in the con-
tents of the egg the chemical changes
follow the result in the formation of
liquid for gaseous compounds, which,
if continued, result in the offensive or
rotten egg. To preserve the egg the

That Texas ever had such thing
as navy will be news to almost
everybody, except, of course, some or
the older Texans.
The republic of Texas has not been
so long a thing of history but that
there are still men living who have
seen the ensign of that nation flying
at the peak of the flagship of her
fleet. This is recalled because of an
effort now making to exhibit one of
these old ships at the great worlds
naval rendezvous at the Jamestown
exposition in 1907.
The Texas navy was created in 1885,
when Henry Smith was provisional
president of the republic. There
were three armed schooners in the
little flotilla, but they made the
Mexicans tired of life along the Gulf
coast. They preyed upon Mexican
commerce, raided coast settlements
and with their captured booty and
supplies did much to maintain the
Texas military establishment aside
from supporting themselves.
This navy was gradually strength
ened until 1910 1t numbered six good
staunch fighting ships. The flagship
was the Austin, carrying the ensign
of Commodore Edwin warde Moore.
The others were Barala. San Antonio
the San Jacinto. the San Bernard and
the brig Dolphin. 1t was the mission
of the fleet to make as much trouble
for Mexico as possible, and when in
| 1910 the province of Yucatan went
| into revolt President Lamar of Texa;
ordered Commodore Moore to helI
the revolutionists. and If the Yucatar
| soldiery had done their part Mexico
would probably have lost another
slice of territory for the Texas flee
| certainly did create some excitemen
wherever the enemy happened TO be.
After two years of this sort of war
| fare the fleet sailed up the Mississippi
and laid up for repairs at New Or
leans. Here It remained so long {
time that General Sam Houston, thei
president of Texas, ordered 1t to Gal
weston. but Commodore Moore re

private fortune had been expended II

Very soon after this the Texas con
gress decided that it did not need an,

of these historical craft are in goo

government had decided not to go
into the timber claim deals and asked
that the testimony already given by
John S. Watkins, Mrs. Lettie Watkins
and Wilford Crane be stricken out.
Judge Hunt made the order requested.
Now that the troublesome William
