How Columbus Missed the Honor OF
Discovering This Continent.

How Columbus Missed the Honor OF
Discovering This Continent.
A flight of birds, coupled with sail
or's superstition, robbed Columbus of
the honor of discovering the continent.
When Columbus sailed westward over
the unknown Atlantic, he expected TO
reach Zipangu Uapam. After several
days sail from GOmera, one of the
Canary islands. he became uneasy at
not discovering Zipangu, which, ac-
cording to his reckonings, should have
been PIG nautical miles more to the
east
After long discussion he yielded to
the opinion of Martin AlonZo PinZon,
the commander of the Pinta. and steer
ed to the southwest. PinZon was guild
ed in his opinion solely by a flight OF
parrots which took wing In that direc-
ton. 1t was good luck to follow In
the wake of flock of birds when en-
gagged upon a voyage of discovery, ac-
cording to widespread superstition
among Spanish scamen of that day.
If Columbus had kept to his course,
he would have entered the gulf stream,
have reached Florida and then proba-
bly, have been carried to Cape Hat
teras and Virginia.

"SELF FEEDERS"
Experience Which Seems to Explode
Some Pet Poultry Theories.

Some Pet Poultry Theories.
We should always aim to prevent
overlooking as we'll as undertaking,
writes a correspondent of the National
Stockman and Farmer. We should
also remember that the value of food
depends upon Its digestibllity and Its
assimilation by the consumer This
brings US to the question how to feed
to obtain the maximum digestibility
and assimilation
The hen is not only omnivorous, but
also n perpetual eater. 1t naturally
follows that some of her feed should
be before her all day. This brings us
to the topic Of self feeders. Various
contriyances are made in which to de
poslt grains, etc, from which at any
time the hen may obtain a morsel.
Here another question presents itself,
the economy of the self feeder versus
the regular menu process. Under which
circumstance will a hen eat the more,
when it has free access to feed or
when 1t IS given her at regular inter
walls?
is that they will eat less corn when
they have free access to ear corn than
when given the shelled at periods. We
have also learned that liberal supply
means economy. For example. If a
flock will eat ten ears day when this
amount is given them in the morning
all will be consumed, and some days
they are looking for more. But If sew
enty ears are deposited on Monday
morning very likely some will be left
at the end of the week OF course II
we wish to give them only mite of
some special feed we must adopt some
other method.
Our method of feeding is simply this:
The hens have free access to ear corn.
In summer we keep plenty of ear corn
under the trees. Some grains we gen.
orally give in the scratching room or in
the leaves under the trees. If we give
soft feed we prepare potful and place
It where the hens that are 80 minded
can help themselves.

Farmer vincent,s Wise SAVINGS

When hens comb turns a pale red
and she dumps around, job of sur
gerry IS close at hand. Better not let
1t run long either.
1t takes grit to grind feed. The hens
know 1t too. Get some.
If hen lays lots Of eggs, and good
eggs, too, don't cut off her head just
because she has a stray mongrel feath-
er in her tail. An egg In the nest Is
worth more than one or two pure bred
feathers.
AS rule you cannot look for thor
oughbred results from scrub stock.
Don't keep your hens the year round
on soft mashes. You like pudding and
milk for a change, but 1t would get to
be an old story to find 1t on the table
three times day as long as you live

When Leehorns Should Lay.

Five months is not too young for a

Eight months is too late. There Is
something wrong with the stock or

than the general average, but at six to
seven months a flock of Leghorn pull
lets should be full grown and ready for

Bran and buttermilk is a good

Corn and cornmeal is the best

Too much heat in the brooder

medium sized breeds are best.
Boiled sweet potatoes, mixed
with scalded corn meal is good
fattening ration.
Exercise, proper feeding and
comfortable quarters are the
reasons the hens lay well in win

When fowls are kept in a

Mark the chicks each year so

Hayward and The Dispen-
sary--Speculating as to
What Governors Mes
sage to Legislature will
Contain on Liquor Ques-
ton.
Columbia special in the OBJ
server: Advance copies Of
Governor Heyward's last annual
message to the Legislature,
which meets on January 8,
would sell well throughout the
State just now. There is much
curiosity to know how the Gov
ernor will "handle things gener-
ally" in his message, now that
he is about to quit not only the
Governors chair, but politics
entirely, according to his own
assertions. AS a matter Of fact,
he has not so far written a line
of the message, and he has not
!ntimated its general contents or
tenor. The presumption is that
large part of it will be devoted
to immigration and to school
questions and lynchings, these
three subjects being specially
close to his thought and action
during all the four years of his
administration.
But the greatest interest in
the message is felt in how the
Governor will deal with the dis
pensary. He was elected on a
dispensary platform, and in all
his previous messages has en-
dorsed 1t and sought to have
changes made in the law to re-
duce the grating feature, but
there is feeling among his
friends that he has no particular
fondness for the system. Many
of those closest to the Governor
think he will touch but lightly
on the dlspensary, since the last
Legislature elected along with
him declined to adopt his recon-
mendations, and turn this bus-
mess over to his successor
"brOiher Cra'ford" Ausel. 9th
ers, however, are predicting that
now that he is free from political
obligations the Colleton man
will deal with the dispensary
subject with gloves off
Senator Tillman and other
leaders in the ultra-Tillman fac
ton have intimated from time
to time that Governor Hayward
by a merely passive support ol
the dispensary, has done the
system more harm than if he
and his party had openly fought
1T. Still, neither the Senator nol
any one else can point to any
actual "sheenanigen" work on
the part of the Governor, as the
Senator calls political jugglering
The Governor has refused at all
times to make appointments
with view to their effect on the

Another Railroad King Dead.
Alex j. Casset, Head of the
Pennsylvania Railroad,
Dies Suddenly--Was as Once
Rodman of Road.

ander Johnstone Cassatt, presi-
dent Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and one If the foremost rail
road men and fnanciers in the
country, died suddenly at his
residence in this city today.
Mr.. Cassatt, who was little
more than 67 years of age, was
stricken with heart disease
shortly before 1 o'clock and
died before assistance could be
given him. He was a victim
of an acute heart attack known
professionally as "the Stokes
Adams symbrone." Though
Mr.. Cassat's death was entire
ly unexpected, he had been
in i'll health for nearly & year.
His condition was aggravated
by an attack of whooping cough
which he contracted from his
grandchildren while at Bar
Harbor in September. He never
entirely recovered from the eff.
fects of the attack and when he
returned TO Philadelphia, he
remained for several weeks at
his country home in Harvard
before he resumed his arduous
duties in connection with the
management of the railroad and
its allied interests. He continued
attending to important matters
until his birthday, December s.
On that day he was 81 years of
age and after celebrating the
event with his family, he never
returned TO his duties Of the
railroad offices.
Beside from being the head of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr.
Cassatt was president of six
other companies and director
In 70 concerns, principally trans
portation companies, banks and
trust companies. His wealth is
estimated at between $5O,OOO,-
600 and $75.0OO,OOO.
Mr.. Cassatt was born in Pitts
burg in 1889, was educated in
Germany and at the Troy Poly
technic Institute. He entered
the service Of the Pennsyl-
ania in 1861 as rod
man. In 1867 he became sup
erintendent of motive power and
machinery, and in 1878 became
