BRAVE OLD TED.

Two murderous thieves. both slick ana
hard.
As they gathered the swag laughed gay
And said. THAT bulldogs q big coward
Or else he's sleepin' away"
Just then two eyes blazed into the dark,
A Boot" a sharp snarl sounded.
And Teds steel jaws snapped and barked,
I'm here. and you're surrounded"
Five shots rang out on the Silly night,
And one knocked out Ted's eye;
But he was there to finish that fight.
To catch those thieves or die.
For Ted was to guard while master slept
And the loved ones took their rest.
And so the old hero his vigil kept.
Determined to do his best.
~
with one blazing eye he watched all
night
And his blood ran over tho floor;
While the robbers covered down In fright
And at their hard luck swore.
And there l found him. brave old Ted,
Holding the thugs at bay.
And he wagged his tail as II to say:
i've got 'em. They can't get away"
I'm looking down into Teds one eye,
The eye that's on guard still.
And II dogs so to the sweet by and by
I'm sure brave old Ted will.

The bull bait, the prize ring and the

Preparation of a cock for battle is a
prelude to what follows.
First he is dubbed"
The wattles are cut off.
If whole comb is sliced off, it's a
slow cut" If cut to the back, "slant
cut" II curved, high cut"
Then he is trimmed"
The picture IS American style.
Some strip the body nearly bare of
Feathers to decrease weight and dimin-
ash chance for a hold
Thus, without comb and protecting
plumage the birds brain and body
are exposed to blows and heat Of the
sun.
Then the cock Is "heeled."
Some are content to have the main
with natural spurs. This is the style
in the Philippines, where the game Is
indigenous and cockfighting one Of the
sacraments.
The spurs are often dressed to
point, but in such cases their owners
are sometimes compelled to suck the
spurs to prove they are not poisoned.

kURios FROM koRREsPoNDENTs


Q. What breed Of chickens do you
consider most lousy?
A. Breeds with close fitting feathers,
like Leghorns. The dust can't get
through the feathers so well.
Q. What is a mule" pigeon. chicken
or pheasant? see this term in the
poultry journal.
A. You know, mules don't breed. so
when cross is made Of fowls or
birds and the offspring are sterile they
are called mules.
Q. l am interested in your "Kurios''
and thought you might be able to fur.
nish me Mrs. Gates turkey food for
mula. I have thus far sought in vain.
A. Turkey Food Formula. Wood
charcoal, one pound; sodium chloride.
two pounds; sodiurI hyposulphite. two
pounds; sodium bicarbonate. two
pounds; sodium sulphate, one pound;
anthony sulphide, one pound.
In form Of powder mix these thor
oughly together and use handful in
the morning feed to twenty fowls and
increase with age.
The woman who used this was very
successful.
Q. keep racing homers and under
stand the English keep their birds in
such excellent condition. My ration
has been unsatisfactory, and I blame
it for not winning more races. Can
you give me the English racing ration ?
A. Sound maple peas, tares, wheat,
small maize (corn) equal parts and a
little hemp occasionally.
Q. The feathers on my show birds
curl and get coarse and uneven after
washing them. Why Is it?
A. You dry too quickly, use too
strong soap and do not rinse thor
oughly.

What was wrong, and is the ailment
contagious?
A. Your hen was very fat, and in
trying to force the egg through the fat
clogged organs she ruptured a blood
vessel and died. Better feed spar
ingly.

FEATHERS AND EGGsHELLs.

One Of the big egg packers declares
that during the hot months 80 per cent
Of the eggs he receives are bad. He
attributes this all to the farmers rot
ten methods Of caring for his hens and
eggs. Now. Is this all rot or not?
"Self preservation is the first law of
our existence" But this does not ap-
ply to taking, lying and cheating to
make money. 1.-THE survival Of the fit
test" is the honest, clear Drained. good
hearted, hard handed, scientific, sys-
tematlc worker who strikes and the
iron gets hot.
And now the Japanese government
has sent representatives over to in
spect our poultry plants. If they write
a book on their Impressions of the
American breeds they must tell the
truth or we will rotten egg them.
People are continually asking which
is the best all around breed. Our
choice is White Wyandotte. We keep
the purest in color and breed, apd it Is
a delight to attend the beautiful birds.
The only way to start right is start
make lasting success and a big repu-
tation is to keep them pure and strong
and never sell shoddy stock. Don't
keep poor stock. They are STUN

You have often wondered how some
poultrymen make the business pay
when in their section feed NeQps near
the two dollar mark the year tround.
The secret is they have continuous
free range and alfalfa. Here is a
pointer for those about to start.
One of our friends who purchased
high priced White Orpingtons in the
spring informs us that some of the
chicks have Ave toes and others have
blue bars. White Orpingtons como
from a mating Of White Leghorn
male with Black Hamburg pullets and
the pullets from this stock crossed
with White Dorking cock. Our dis
appointed fancier's chicks get the fifth
toe from the Dorking and their bars
from the Hamburgs.
Keep your eye on the fellow who Is
trying to create craze for q new
breed or his newly invented strain.
He writes very pretty storiea about

PILES PLEADS FOR
FLEET ON PACIFIC
Senator From Washington
Urges Presidents Plan for
Four Battleships

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Argu-
ments>in in favor of the presidents pro-
gram for four battleships consumed
most of the session of the senate to-
day. Piles of Washington opened the
debate. declaring that the Asiatic sit
uation affecting the Pacific coast was
a menace to that section, as war clouds
might quickly rise there over some
clash between Americans and the Japa-
nese. He wanted a fleet kept In the
Pacific.
Hale laid before the senate a state
ment of battleships and other features
OF the American naval program. which
he said showed that as large a fleet
as Is now in the Pacific can be kept
there and at the same time there would
be ships for a still larger fleet for the
Atlantic.
Beveridge concluded the debate for
the day with a strong appeal for four
gagged in exchanges of words with
other senators, but he insisted that
peace and not war would be promoted
by building up the navy.
During the latter part OF the session
kilograms were delivered to all sena-
tors from magazine appealing to
them for four battleships.
IF the four battleships appropriation
be not granted" the telegram stated.
I'VE shall urge the president to veto
the naval bill"
Early in the day Bankhead of Ala
bama spoke in favor of national ap-
preparations for good roads.

ing 100000 for survey of an inland
waterway from Boston to Wilmington

guards were sent by the United Rail-
roads or other corporations to offer to
protect the lives of Gallagher and the
women and children from the blows OF
the hired assassins. In fact. the po-
lice have already contrasted the offer
of aid made to District Attorney
Brown by Attorney Abbott of the le-
gal staff of the Calhoun company with
the Fabian tactics adopted by the hire
lings who refuse to give their identity
when they obtrude, or else misrepre-
sent themselves as police.
Two men who applied to Petersen
for information yesterday, saying they
came to offer their services as detec-
tives, were ignored because they
would not tell who was their employer.
And today the interference of the
mysterious detectives became a greater
detriment to the police than lack of
aid could ever be.

from the scene after the explosion. We
have run down other clews of sus-
picious character, and have progressed.
Better than that, the existence of an
established motive is positive, for we
now know that there can be but one
tenable theory-that Gallagher was
marked for death.
sCATTERS FEAR ABROAD
Detectives McSorley and Kyle were
detailed today to run down the "sus-
picious characters" clews, and it was
in this work that they first encoun-
tered the hired emissaries who seek to
block justice. McSorley saw one Of
the men, who preceded them from
house to house, eliciting Information,
and leaving behind him fear to talk.
This man is described by McSorley as
large, heavily built man. smooth
shaven and wearing dark gray clothes
and black hat McSorley noticed
that the man wore no vest and had g
blue pleated shirt.
This man was ahead of the two de-
tectives at s62 East Nineteenth street,
where 1t was hoped descriptions of the
men who shadowed the Schenck home
could be obtained. Some man repre-
senting himself as q mail carrier on
the day after the dynamiting had told
Policeman Arrest that he lived at
that house, and had descriptions OF two
men who were seen In the neighbor-
hood for a week prior to the attempt
on Gallagher. Today no one could be
found at the place who would admit
having seen such men.
POLICE GUARD GALLAGHER
The Schencks and the Gallaghers
have taken refuge at the home OF c.
B. de Pas, 357 Sixth avenue, San Fran
cisco. Mrs. de Pas is the mother of
Mrs. Schenck and Mrs. Gallagher. All
last night an ironclad vigilance was
kept over the house by the police Of
San Francisco.
Police guarded the front and the
rear DOORS" said Miss Georgia Schenck.
Two mounted men rode the streets,
and men on guard on every street
stopped all who approached. Unless
they could explain satisfactorily peo-
pie were kept away. The police are
taking every precaution to guard the
life of Mr.. Gallagher and the rest of
u.s."
All of these guards, according to the
Schenck family. came from the San
Francisco police force, and were not
secured by outside influences. No

communicative mood Kerr was in from
his indulgence in alcohol.
Captain Petersen refused to talk
about the two suspects

completed our investigation with
them," he said. There seems to be
little that can be said,A anyway. and we
may finish with the men and set them

James Kerr. brother of William ].
Kerr, called at the city prison TO see
him, but was refused. The jailers
made an investigation to find If the
prisoner was really the Kerr from Mis-
souri, street, and found the address Civ
en- BY him was correct.
James Kerr said that his brother had
been employed in Oakland for two
weeks as a blacksmith for James B.
Mokler, 4413 Piedmont avenue. He
said William Kerr had not been seen
by either him or his mother during
that time. They protest that the ar
rest is an error. and that William is
innocent of all intent to commit crime
It was learned this afternoon that
Kerr and Jay were aid comrades in San
Rafael a year ago; that Jay has been
in Oakland and San Francisco since
February. when he came from Port
land. Jay said that he lived in a
German hotel in Mission street, San
Francisco, and that he and Kerr had
been together in this city for two
weeks.
ACID BUYER Is SILENT
Kerr is uncommunicative, explaining
his desire for nitric acid by saying
he wished to clean horses hoofs. and
at another time by saying that he
meant to clean the rust from dumbbells
The police suspicion is that the dyna-
miting may not be over. and that the
intentions of the two suspects were for
the future. In this regard Petersen re-
fuses to talk
Il will not say what we have on
these two men," he said. "or even if
we have any incriminatfng evidence.
We are following other leads to run
down the criminals, and though we are
meeting with opposition. we have found
valuable clews."
We, for instance, have found" con-
tinued Captain Of Detectives Petersen,
