Renewing Nests.

To keep the fowls free from disease
and lice Gncluding mites), it is nec-
essary to keep all about them in a
state of as perfect cleanliness as pos
sible Renewing the nests will great
" help, and this should be done Oft
ener than it is. A barrel of cut straw
at hand will act as reminder, and
the nest will be renewed oftener than
it will be if no material for the pur-
pose is at hand. We have seen many
nests in which the nest material had
been left in so long that it had be-
come beaten almost to dust, and COW
cred a multitude of thirsty little
blood-suckers. If it is necessary to
renew the egg nest material of the
hen that is simply laying it is still
more necessary to renew often the
material in the nests that are used
for incubation purposes

gone to roost. 1t will latch itself and
remain in that position during the
night.

should be too small to permit weasel

gers who have arrived here recently
from Guatemala say that a revolution
was being planned against the Hon
duran government by Gen. Domingo
Vasquez. ex-president of Honduras
who is supposed toh ave the support
of Guatemala This, they say, was
the reason why Senor Bestillos

sent on a special confidential mission
to President Cabrera of Guatemala,
and why Cabrera, instead Of treating
with Brstillos, practically imprisoned
him in Guatemala City.
After the latest war with Nicaragua
Honduras was left entirely disarmed,
and should the reports of Honduan
military nalt RRf1ppdfagIanss gIanss hIEe hhTne, ltps
sloreans have furnished her with mu
nitions OF war.
The situation in Guatemala is re.
ported to be exceedingly critical. The

sons reported to have been executed
were Mrs. Castenado and Mrs. Blanco
and Messr Herrera, Trigueras, Ed.
wardo Rubio aud Antonio Rubio, all
of whom belonged to prominent
wealthy Central American families.
During the past year all the persons
had been incommunicado in the dun
geons of the penitentiary at Guate-
mala City, and the passengers say that
it was impossible for them to have
participated In the recent attempt On
the life OF President Cabrera. They
add that the executions were consid-
cred cruel and unnecessary and that
the relatives of those persons put to
death, who are rich and powerful, VII
