dare have them go. For safety we
like to keep them in temperature
of about $50 and turn them daily.
2. Will eggs set the same day as
laid hatch? Ans.-Yes, if fertile.
8. What is the best way to mark
young chicks in order to know them
from others? Ans-Punch a hole in
the web of one of the feet with a mark
err made for the purpose, and which
can be obtained at almost any poultry
house.
4. Are trap nests a patented az
fair and can they be bought? Ans
Some are and some are not. Those
that are can be had at the poultry sup
ply houses. The Maine experiment
station has one that is not; full
description of which can be had by
bulletin No. 70.
5. Are chicks from hens that have
scaly legs more liable to be subject
to the same disease? Ans.-YeS,
when brooded by such hens; no, when
not so brooded.
6. Should Black Minorcas lay as
many eggs as Leghorns, and is it cor
rect that they require more food?
AnS.-Generally speaking, M1nOrcaS
do not lay quite as many eggs as do
the Leghorns. They lay much larg-
er egg, and require some more food.
T. Is it correct that pullet has
in it all the eggs it will ultimately
lay? Ans-I do not know. That is
a question in which wise men differ
in opinion.
8. How do you figure a hen to net
$500 per annum profit, as per your
advertisement? Ans.-The hen that
makes such profit lays fifteen dozen
eggs per annum, which, at the aver
age price of 27 cents per dozen, are
worth $4.05. The total cost of feed
for the hen is not to exceed $1.00 per
annum This leaves $500 net profit,
the five cents paying the hens share
of the interest on investment.

Plot.


Mexico City, July 23.-Reports
telegraphed from various points on
the United States border, regard
ing an alleged plot for demon
stration against foreigners in this
country on September l5, which is
independence day, were denied to-
day by Mexican officials here.
They say that the independence of
this country is assured and that there
has been no conference Of state gov
ernors called at this capital for the
purpose of putting down threat
ened revolution in this country. 1t
is wholly untrue, it is asserted that
preparations are being made for an
anti-foreign demonstration on the
part of the Mexican labor unions.
The federal officials declare that a
few agitators, who had for some
months published paper in st.
Louis, Mo-, are responsible for the
reports that i'll feeling exists between
Mexican workingmen and. the foreign
residents here.

Tulsa Gambler Got Bad on Train and
Broke Beer Bottle Over Ofhcer's

James Pasehal, an alleged gambler
and surreptitious dealer in booze, and
James Dockery, driver for the Rigtl
Way laundry, both of this city, were
arrested at Chandler Sunday night, rs
the result of fight with Oklahoma
Officers. The combat occurred on board
an Oklahoma excursion train return
ing from Oklahoma City, and from
accounts given by witnesses OF the
combat, was caused by an overdose OF
Oklahoma liquor on the part of all
concerned. Paschal ii is said was
drunk, and at some time along the
road sought to be drunker bv laying
in a supply of beer. The undersherifi
of Lincoln county, spying the bottles
left in Paschal's seat while the latter
was in another part of the train, APP
propriated one or two of them. Pas
chal returned and resented the liberty
taken by the officer, and proceeded to
break bottle over his head Not
satisfied with this. the owner of the
beer continued to jab the deputy in
the head with the ragged edges of the
broken bottle, and when separated,
both combatants were covered with
the deputy's blood. Dockery was not
an active participant in the melee, but
was held by the officers on account OF
being with the gambler,

were not exempt, ii being stated that
the Oklahoma officer who was beat
over the head, was dippy. JagS were

country and therefore no right to ear

gangcd up and persuaded the Jealous

stated that Paschal was fined 500 for
