A WORD TO THE WISE.

The breeding season Is over, ana the
alert poultryman will be the FIRST to
advertise his surplus old birds at home
and abroad to catch the early trace

hot months will not pay their bhis'
and then comes the molt, when they
Law hardly any. The longer kept the
less chance for sale, and in mott they

breeders, and the feed they get should

;. Now. think of the high priced feed
and the millions of hens and ducks
that must be disposed Of to save a
lossl
Indeed, when the sharp poultryman
does not see an early and hard pull
for breeders coming his way, thor
oughbred or no thoroughbred, he
dresses them and sells for the best
price he can get before the enervatint

Milk can come only from the food
the COW consumes. The food Is taken
into the stomach and digested accord
ing to the same general laws of diges-
ton of other animals. When digested,
the essential constituents Of food are
in condition to be taken by the blood
and carried to those parts Of the body
best qualified for its use. Since milk
Is a product of the blood, an abundant
milk supply depends upon an abun-
dance of blood making material, which
must come from the food the COW con-
sumes. Therefore large quantity OF
food must be consumed by the large
milk producer. A large stomach mo

PIGEON POX.

PIGEON pox Is caused by protozoa and
IN more apt to appear In damp quar-
tiers and wet, foggy weather. Protozoa,
or fungi, multiply rapidly where there
Is moisture, while bacteria increase
faster In heat. Thus pigeon fanciers
who are too lazy to patch leaking roofs
or to clean up may simply blame the
weather when their pretty pigeons are
ornamented with yellow topped warts.
Moist droppings mean pigeon pox, and
this may come from splashed bathing
water as well as from leaks. Chicken
and pigeon pox are very similar, with
the exception that the ailment Is gen.
orally confined to the chickens head,
while on pigeons the disease will travel
from head down the neck, over the
under surface of the body and on the
inner side Of wings and legs.
1t sometimes appears on the back of
the body and wings, and when it takes
a diphtheritic turn, invading the
mouth and throat. the disease is fatal

ITINERARY OF ADMIRAL EVANS
BATTLE SHIP FLEET BEING AR
RANGED BY OFFICIALS IN
WASHINGTON WITH TROUBLE.

Washington, March 10.-NOw that
il has been practically determined by
the president that the battleship fleet
will return 10 the Atlantic by way of
Suez, the near approach Of the fleet
to its original destination-tne Cali
fOrnia cOaSt-haS made it necessary
for the naval officials to arrange the
details of the itinerary for the home
ward movement. Several conferences
have been held upon this subject be
tween the president and naval off
cialS.
Admiral Cowles has already dispat-
ched large stores of coal to the Ha-
waiian islands and 20 Manila and he
has further ascertained just how much
fuel he can obtain at Port Said and
the price he will have TO pay for il
1t is expected that in the course of
a few days the formal orders will be
issued and Immediately all of the
plans that have been so carefully
worked out for the fleets return
movements will be put into execution
The point of doubt is the DISPOSE
ton to be made of the ships uDon
their arrival in Asian waters, for while
it is reasonably certain that some of
them will be sent to Japan it is not
known whether the movement in that
direction will be general or confined
to about four representative ships.

SINGULAR CUSTOMS.
Bulgarian Ceremonies That Com
From Pagan Rites.

Bulgarian Ceremonies That Come
From Pagan Rites.
The people of Varna, ON the coast of
the Black sea, in Bulgaria., have sim
guIar custom which they observe at
the feast of the Epiphany, which takes
place on Jan. 6. The clergy, both
Greeks and Bulgarians, accompanied
by an immense crowd, go to the sea-
shore, carrying with them a wooden
cross. The cross is thrown by the
clergy into the sea, and thereupon the
strongest swimmers jump in after it
The best swimmer gets it. of course,
and brings it in triumph to shore.
The Narna people have a still more
singular salt water custom on the same
day. After dark at night all the newly
married men m the town are conduct
ed, with bands of music and singing,
to the shore and made to take three
successive plunges into the icy water.
They are then conducted home, where
their brides. accompanied by their rela-
tives and friends, have been awaiting
them in state After this there is feast
ing and merry making. These singular
customs are believed to have a Pagan
origin.

Washington, March 10.--Ten thous-

ecutive office he declared that congress
would pass the child labor law in spite
of all arguments advanced by its OPP
pOnentS.

senator, are pleading for time on the
ground that various states will. if Civ

COUNTRY COhSTABLES
GIVEN BLAME
P Pennsylvania Railroad Men
Have to Pay Many Fines.

Logansport, Ind, March 10.-Local
railroad men running out of this city
have entered complaint TO the Pan
handle division officials here against
the frequent arrests being made by
county constables along the eight di-
visions which radicate from Logans-
port. They complain that county Of
ficeTS are too Jealous in making ar
rests when crossings are blocked
more than fifteen minutes by freight
trains, and say that a good share OF
their wages each month is paid out in
fines which have been imposed by
country squires. They claim that of
ten the fault lies with the railroad
and not with them; that two or three
trains get together and the side tracks
being not adequate to handle them.
crossings are necessarily blocked for
a time. They feel that the company
should pay the fines in these instan-
cCs. Country COnstableS are unusual
Iy active, and almost daily some Pan
handle crew comes in and reports that
it has been yankcd up before some
country squire and fined. Officials
promise TO investigate.

ODD COURTS MARTIAL.
Solemn Farces That Have Been En-
acted In the British Navy.

inc
1t is a rule in the British navy that
when a ship is cast away or otherwise
lost a court martial must sit in order
TO apportion the blame. Sometimes
these courts really try and condemn
those that are held to be responsible.
At other times their duties are, from
the very nature of the catastrophe,
more or less nominal.
Thus. when the Serpent was lost off
the Spanish coast q court martial as
sembled and solemnly tried three or
binary bluejackets. the sole survivors,
although they of course had no more to
do with the error in navigation which
led up to the catastrophe than the man
in the moon.
A similar solemn farce was enacted
after the loss of the Captain in the
bay of Biscay, when 4S3 officers and
men lost their lives. In this case q
gunner named James May, one of the
eighteen who escaped from the wreck,
was the nominal ''culprit." The YER
dict was that the loss of the ship was
due to instability and faulty construc-
ton. This really amounted to vote
of censure on Mr.. Cowper Coles, the
designer, but as he went down with
the ungainIy monster he had created
he was beyond the reach of either
blame or praise.
On another occasion a small mildly
of thirteen years of age was put upon
his trial, and once, it is said. a court
martial assembled on cat. which
CHANGED to be the sole living thing
found aboard a derelict frigate.

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of ChivaIry.

Orders of ChivaIry.
OF all the orders of medieval Chiv-
airy which have survived the shock of
successive revolutions on the continent
of Europe since the great cataclysm of
1889, that of the Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage.
The badge of the order is the figure
of a sheep in embossed gold suspend
ed from heavy chain of gold. The
full robes consist of Il long mantle of
crimson velvet, cut in the fashion of a
sacerdotal cope, richly embroidered at
the borders with emblematic devices
Of stars, half moons and leeces in
gold and lined with white satin, over
a doublet and hose of crimson damask.
The full robes also comprise a ''chap-
eron," or hood, with a long flowing
streamer OF black satin. but this head
gear has i'll modern times been gen
orally dispensed with.
Originally the robes OF the order,
which was founded in 1929 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were of
crimson cloth lined with white lambs
wool. and this circumstance has some
what strengthened the theory that the
golden fleece was instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition Of the
immense treasures which the Duke of
Burgundy had acquired from the
wool of the tlocks reared on his vast
estates in Flanders Be it as it may
