It was Admiral Coghlan's popularity

that involved him in the incident of

when the admiral recited the. poem
"Hoch der Kaiser" which somewhat
ruffled the German authorities. The
incident occurred at a dinner which the
admiral attended, and it was not in

CURED after the return from Manila,
where there had been some friction
with the German authorities, the affair
was treated with more significance
than perhaps the circumstances other

an explanation. The admiral replied
that no disrespect was meant by him
toward the German emperor, and with
this the statement was allowed to drop.

Request Of the Company.

Attorney Gordon asked that no &C
count be filed by the receivers. stating
that they had reported the condition of
the plant from time to time to the com
pany, and the making of account would
interfere greatly with the company at
this time. An inventory, he stated,
would necessitate the closing down of
the works for several days. The assent
of the creditors and directors of the
company to this provision was made a
part of the record, but Judge Young
dissented to a number of the arguments
of the counsel relating to it, He init
mated that each stakeholder would
have a right to question the actions of
the receivers.
After addresses by Attorneys Larkin
and Gale of New York. who asked that
the petition be granted, Judge Young
discharged the receivers and ordered
that no accounts of the receivers were
required.

Good Hoppers for Poultry Feeding
Save Labor and Avoid Undesfeed;ns

In the dry feeding of poultry, which
Is attracting considerable attention at
the present time. a hopper or some
similar device for supplying feed is es-
sential. Hopper feeding, according to
]. E. Rice and R. C. Lawry. of the
New York Cornell station, saves labor,
guards against underfeeding, and
makes the keeping of fowls In large
fiocks less Objectionable because it
avoids crowding, which Is likely to
occur when considerable numbers are
fed wet mash
Experiments which have been con-
Quoted at the New York Cornell sta
ton indicate that for young fowls of
the laying varieties. kept for CONNER
cial egg production, the feeding of a
dry mash in. q feed hopper which is
accessible at all times during the day
is to be recommended"
Whether the same system of feeding
will prove as satisfactory with old
fowls Of the laying varieties or with
young fowls of the general purpose or
meat varieties, we have not yet de
termlned Dy actual comparative test.
Nor has 1t been proved that the sys-
| tenn can be used with safety with
breeding fowls. This is a vital con-
sideration. The ultimate test which
will decide whether or not the hopper
feeding of dry mash will be of univer-
sal application to the feeding of fowls.
will be the effect on the vigor Of the
| offspring. 1t is too early yet to de-
eide this point. Many practical feed
ers, however, conclude from an ex
tended experience that the breeding
fowls having constant access to dry
mash will not suffer in health from
overeating or lack of exercise. We
feel certain at this time that hopper
feeding when properly employed has
genuine merit and will become an es
tablished practice. To be successful
