confirmed yesterday afternoon at the

Mr. Squiers was accused of making

ed that because Of some personal diff
ferences with a number OF the leading

OF the minister's family were slighted

he Presidents palace.
The climax IN the situation was
reached when President Palma was ad-
vised that the American minister act
ually was encouraging the Americans
on the Isle of Pines to revolt against
Cuban domination. The question was
put up to the State Department. and
Secretary Root decided that the island
was under Cuban Jurisdiction. Next
lay. the announcement wss made at
the department that the minister had
resigned.

ed at the department. There were long
conferences with Secretary Root and

Do They Dare Do It7
In order TO make these companies car
" themselves after the contemplated
beef merger was called off, the National
Packing Company was formed with a
capital of $4,000. 900 to absorb them.
This company is the one which from
time TO time has been supposed to show
that a Beef trust exists, by reason of
the association of Armour. Swift, and
Morris interests on its board.
When rumors of a new merger reach
ed La Sale street the spontaneous com
ment on every hand was; do they
dare do it?'
The reply in several well-informed
quarters was that Washington dispatch
es early in the week said that the Fed

had had enough" and that further
prosecution was not likely. With the
inauguration of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor and the passage

If we define natural breeding sea-
SON. as the period at which the eggs
are at the maximum of fertility and
when the young can be reared the most
easily, then there can be no question,
according to H. S. Babcoek, writer In
the American Poultry Journal, that it
is bounded by the months of April and
June; that prior to the 1st of April and
subsequent to the 18th Of June the con-
ditions for the perpetuation Of the race
of fowls are not SO good as during the
period contained within those dates.
In that sense at least it is true that
there is a natural breeding season. But
If we define the term as meaning the
period in which young can be produced
and out of which the race cannot be
perpetuated there can be no natural
breeding season. for it Is possible to
hatch some eggs and rear some chick
ems at any time during the whole year.
This latter definition, however, can
hardly be considered the correct one.

Feed and Care Of Chicks.

Keep chick food, beef scrap, grit, cut
clover or alfalfa and pure water al
ways before the chicks from the start,
writes p. Il. Woods in Reliable Poultry
Journal Hoppers may be used, but a
part of the food, grit and clover must
be scattered on the floor so that all the
chicks will find it easily. A little later
on they will find the food quickly
enough in a dish or hopper, but at
first see that it is beneath and between
their feet, where they most naturally
look for it. Tuck the chicks under the
hover often to teach them where to get
warm When they have learned this
lesson and go freely in and out under
the hover they can BY the second or
third day be allowed to have a little
run in the exercise section Of the brood
er or in a warm apartment outside Of
the hover chamber.
