THE RIoTING AT VANCOUVER.

The Japanese of Vancouver are
standing out in defense of their
rights, and showing spirit which
commands respect even where it
does not enlist sympathy.
when the Japanese primary
school was set on fire by rioters
last night. japanese volunteers
extenguished the flames. Through
out the Japanese business district of
Vancouver the Orientals have been
standing at their doors, with loaded
guns, determined to protect their
property at all hazards. The strike
of Japanese on vessels has tied up
business in the harbor and threat
ened while merchants with delay
of shipments which might prove
costly. The resistance of the
Japanese is exasperating at first,
but will in the end exert a SOLDERING
effect upon their enemies and the
community In general.
Already its influence is apparent.
One Vancouver correspondent says:
THE whole Pacific coast is united
against the flood of Orientals, but
very small faction favors the law
Tess spirit now being displayed. y
White people must respect yellow
peoples rights as scrupulously as
yellow people have been taught to
respect the rights of white people,

Guinea Fowls.

! M. Lewis Harding writes as follows
in the Farm Journal of Philadelphia:
The Guinea fowls originally came
from the coast Of Guinea.
They are naturally wild and Will
hide their nests, SO it is often difficult
to find them.
The eggs are speckled and not quite
so large as a hens egg and are more
pointed at the little end.
The Guinea will lay about 80 eggs
in a year, and after getting a start IN
growth the young are very hardy.
They are Of a nervous disposition ana
will send an cutlery upon the appear
ance of a strange cat, dog or man.
They are equally watchful for hawks
and have been known to fight deadly
battles with these birds.
1t is best to buy eggs and hatcn tne
young where their future home IS u
be. IF Matched and raised by he'
from the poultry yard, they VIII
much more tame when allowed C
with the Guinea hen.

CONVINCING A ROAD KN0CKER
Wood Hauer's Eyes Opened TO the
Value of Hard Highways.


Value Of Hard Highways.
While Samuel c. Lancaster, a gov
eminent good roads expert, was lee
turing at Spokane on improved high
ways, he said, according to the Spo-
kane Review:
There are some excuses made fer
not having roads While engaged in
the construction of the roads in GER
tain community 1 heard one day, while
we were sitting under the shade Of
some trees and talking with the men
who were working on these roads,
one man say he didn't believe in that
hard road proposition anyhow And
knew that he was earning S38 a
week in the construction of this road,
that he was a poor man and had a
small farm and was earning more
than he could in any other way, and
said to him:
"'Smith, what is the matter? Why
are you against this proposition
"He said, Mr. Lancaster, 1 own a
little farm, and l have some wood on
that farm. and during the winter
months, when 1 can't do anything else,
l haul the wood to town. Now, you
build these roads and anybody can
get to town art any time of the year,
and everybody will be hauling wood,
and my wood won't be worth so much
"I didn't pursue the argument there.
I simply left. And the next winter.
when the roads were real bad, I went
out with my camera to get some pho
tographs to illustrate something l
wanted to say about good roads, and
I met Smith with his team and load
Of wood coming into town. He had
on that wagon a cord and a quarter
with an ordinary team Of mules, and
I began to laugh when I saw the man,
because I remembered his statement,
and he began to smile. 1 said to him,
Smith, how much wood have you on
that wagOnY
"He said, About a cord and a quar-
ter
"'And how much did you used to get
for your wood? 1 asked him.
"'Three dollars he said.
"'And what do you get for that?
""Three and half
"He had never got more than S2.75
or So before. He was making enough
to pay his taxes on that road for about
three years in one days time. for he
was then able to haul three loads of
wood a day where before he was able
to haul but one.
'ERoads can be built in almost any
community which will not be burden
| to that community. In fact, have seen
| it several times over where the town
had issued bonds, sometimes large
sums, before the roads were completed
enough revenue had come in in the
shape of investment and increased cit
izenship to pay the increased taxes
which were made necessary on &C
| count of the bonds necessary for the
roads"

GAPES IN CHICKS.
4 Disease Which Usually Carries Of
Many of the Youngsters.

Is Many of the Youngsters.
Gapes is one of the most serious
causes of loss among chicks It is
late in the windpipe until the chicks
suffocate The affected chicks con-
stantly try to dislOdge the worms by
gaping and shaking the head. IL the
chicks are quite large, they can usually
manage to throw off the disease. If,
however, the disease attacks small
chicks, they usually succumb to it OF
become Stunted.
There are several ways of treating
gapes, but in all cases the first thing
to do is to separate the unaffected ones
from the rest and move them to fresh
ground, as the disease spreads rapidly
if this precaution is not taken The
common earth worm is said to be a
means OF spreading the disease, as it
is very frequently found to be host
for cape worms. If there is danger OF
gapoS. use solid f70o~1 = I'll tie cOonF
and Keep tie clicils confined wE9l
tho~e are many earth worms on t4e
surface.
Several patent devices for the treat
mant OF gapes are on the market.
Some of them are very good for the
purpose, while others are Of doubtful
value. If the chicks are considered
worth the trouble, the quill and tar
pentine treatment is probably about
the best and is used as follows: Dip
iY1ca
it gently into the windpipe. The quill
must of course enter the windpipe' in
order to effect any cure. The operator
will see the opening Of the windpipe
at the base of the throat. Numerous
complaints are made that the treat
ment does no good because people fire.
uuently insert the quill into the outlet
instead of the windpipe.
A looped horsehair may also be used
for dislodging the cape worm. Insert
1t into the windpipe, give it three OF
four turns and then remove, after
which the chick; will cough up any
worms that have been dislodged.
Cape worms may be killed by placing
the chicks in q closed barrel or some
other convenient receptacle and forced
to inhale strong tobacco fumes Oh
those of a similar nature. This meth
cd is not recommended very highly, as
it is extremely dangerous. The treat
ment will Of course kill the chicks II
continued too. long, and thus an fnexpe-
rienced operator finds it difficult to use
In combating this disease, as well as
all others, healthy, growing chicks are
much more likely to overcome the trou'
ble than weak, neglected ones.
