to confine In coops like the one shown
in cut. The open part may be made
Of lath or wire netting. Keep pen dark
except when fowls are eating. Throw
thick covering, old carpet or quilts,
over exposed part and the pen will be
so dark that birds will move about
very little between meals. In the
morning IL fed boiled potatoes. crushed
while hot and thickened with corn
meal, and a little salt and pepper for
seasoning, chickens will fatten very
fast. They should be fed three times
q day, and their bill-of-fare varied as
much as possible. Pumpkins or
squash may take place OF boiled pota-
toes occasionally. Fresh bedding
should be supplied frequently. and the
coop and spot It occupies kept clean.

AUTOMATIC POULTRY WATERING.
System Used by Or. A. n. Phelps
Described.

Upon each floor Of my poultry house
] have a 2inch iron pipe which passes
the whole length of both the main
floor and loft from west to east. at the
latter end projecting outside the build
ing. This pipe runs along the floor,
passing through each of the warm
roosting rooms. In each OF which is a
T joint. surmounted by 1inch nipple
coupling. On the top of this is
screwed a cast-iron drinking cup 8
inches in diameter and inches deep.
All are set at the same level.
At the west end the inflow takes
place through tank supplied with a
float valve, like that used for flushing
a closet. This tank and valve are ad
justed to the same level as the drink
ing cups so that when the cups are
full the float shuts off the inflow, and
as the water Is used out, II falls just
enough to allow the cups to refill
gain closing when the proper level
is reached. In this way the water is
not wasted. At the outflow at the
vest end a gate serves to flush out
tie whole system. Inside of this gate
an overflow pipe, placed at the prop
er level, easily prevents the possibility
of the cups overnowing and thereby
flooding the floors. The 2-inch pipe
is of that size to render clogging Inn
possible. A pipe from the hot water
heater in the brooder cellar is con
nected with the inflow pipe. making
II possible TO supply hot water to the
system.-Orange Judd Farmer.

ScRATCHINGS.

Is II the business hen this year, or
only boarder?
The farmer who raises poultry can
always obtain ready money.
A chick that is continually chilled
seldom amounts to much. because VI
tality is used UP TO resist and over
come abuse.
II is not good plan to feed grown
up fowls too much soft food. as 1t
tends to make them dyspeptic.
In estimating the cost of keeping
poultry 1t is best to allow one bushel
OF grain year TO each laying hen.
With hens II is much better to keep
the appetite sharp compelling them
to be active and search for food
Pick all small, slow going. indiffer.
ent appearing pnllets and save them
for broilers. Keep for maturity only
the best of the whole lot OF pullets.
Experiments show that the yearling
hen lays 40 per cent more eggs than
the hen two years old.

Dynamite Placed Under Boarding

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 12.-An attempt
to kill every American at the Santa
Rosa mine, in Senora twenty miles
south of Douglas, was made on Sat-
urday last, when the Mexican employees
placed stick of dynamite under the
boarding house, the company's store
and the foremans and superintendent
residences. Fuses attached to the dy-
Mantle were timed for the explosions
to follow each other in quick success
sion The hour selected was during
the evening meal, when all the Ameri-
can miners were in the boarding house.
The store and boarding house were de-
molished and fifteen men, eating, were
blown thru the roof of the boarding
house, sustaining broken legs and
arms, but there were no fatalities. AT
failed to ignite, but the superintend-
ent's office was demolished, and he es-
capped injury. Rurales are already on
the scene, and eighteen Mexicans are

the Americans, is believed to be the
work of sympathizers with the revolu-
tfonists, at present under arrest at Los
Angeles, who claim the prisoners are
being prosecuted by the Americans.

aid, who has been on trial here sinco
Jan. 20 on the charge Of numbering
Webster S. Guerin, was acquitted by q
jury in the criminal court yesterday.
The verdict was reached after six and
a half hours of deliberation, the jury
having retired at l o'clock.
The defendant, who is the widow OF
Michael c. Mcdonald formerly a po-
litical leader in Chicago, received the
verdict without apparent emotion. Dur
ing the trial she had frequently coll
lapsed, and on several occasions the
case had been interrupted in order that
she might receive medical attention.
Last night, however, she was the least
moved of any of the persons concerned
in the defense, her attendant being so
overcome that Mrs. Mcdonald was
compelled to exchange roles with her
and then to try to- quiet the woman.
Members of the jury took an oath
before reporting their finding not to
reveal the history of their delibera-
tions. The first ballot, they said, stood
to for acquittal but subsequent de-
velopments were carefully kept secret.

YELLOW PERIL MENACE
Pointed Out in Lecture by Prof. Fryer
of California State Universty-Am-
ericans Fail to Realize What China
| IS Doinq.

San Francisco. Feb. IA menace of
yellow peril" resulting from the
forceful awakening of China by the
foreign powers, was pointed out in
lecture to the students yesterday by
Professor John Fryer, head Of the de-
partment of oriental languages and
literature at the state university. His
statements were especially significan-
on account of Fryer's long residence III
China
He said the Americans do not begin
to realize what is taking place in China
and do not realize that with the de-
parture from conservatism and accept
ance of the form of oriental civiliza-
ton, she may go further, and faster
than have even the Japanese. He
pointed to the millions of people at her
command to the rise of China for the
Chinese" movement, to the acceptance
of modern methods of education, even
to the addition of higher education for
women, and to the increased tendency,
toward the growth of real natural spir-
it thru the enforcement of the teach
ing Of one dialect, and the spread of
railroads, resulting in the centraliza-
tion of power He said if they con-
tinued to learn as they are doing gen
orally, China would have an army and
navy ready to fight any of the worlds
great powers.

One of them resembled a hook
and ladder truck with long

ped with axes, shovels, ropes
and a dozen other articles. The cloth
