ABOLISHED NAVAL PIGEONS
No Longer Needed In These Days Of
Wireless TeIegraphy.

An admiralty official the other day
confirmed the statement that the
British naval pigeon service was to
be allowed to fall into disuse. think
of it," he remarked. mot so very
many years ago people were filled
with wonderment that homing
pigeon could fly with messages at the
rate of sixty miles an hour and reach
its destination with safety. Today a
wireless message can be sent at the
rate of hundreds of miles in few
seconds.
1T was wise step to establish, as
the admiralty did, carrier pigeon
service in connection with the navy;
they are equally wise to abandon the
stations now that telegraphic facill-
ties have been brought to such a
state of perfection.
NOWADAYS battleship can easily
keep in wireless communication with
Rame Head, near Plymcdth, while
voyaging to Gibraltar, or even to por-
tions of The Mediterranean. Most of
the fleet have the necessary installa-
tions aboard
"The naval pigeon service had its
drawbacks, birds often not finding
their way home through losing their
reckoning or on account of injury
Only in minor ways has their useful
ness to the navy been demonstrated
Without wireless telegraphy, however,
there is no question that in time of
war they would have been a real
help"
Among pigeon fanciers there was
some CONSERVATION, especially on the
part of those who belong to what is
known as the volunteer carrier pigeon
| service, which is not, however. to be
iuterfered with Breeders will no
doubt avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to buy the pigeons which have
been trained at the admiralty lofts.

TESTING COWS.

A Canadian farmer who kept
twenty-four COWS and two hired men
tested his cows with the Babcock test
and found that eight were unprofit-
able. He disposed cf them and let
one hired man go and at the end OF
the year found that he had made as
much money from the sixteen as
from the twenty-four. Now he has
got down to twelve cows and ex-
poets to make as much from them
as he made from twice that number
Now he can increase up to his origi-
nal number as fast as he can find
or grow good cows and increase his
profits.-Epitomis

EYESlGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-Baby's Head
q Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old when
she got rash on her face and within five
days her face and head were all one sore.
We used different remedies but it got
worse instead of better and we thought she
would turn blind and that her ears would
fall of. She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This went
on until she was five months old, then l
had her under our family doctors care, but
she continued to grow worse. He said it
was eczema. When she was seven months
old started to use the Cuticura Remedies
and in two months our baby was differ
ent girl. You could not see sign of a
sore and she was as fair as newborn
baby. She has not had sign Of the eczema

TREE PRUNING.

Results which may surprise many
practical horticulturists have been
obtained by scientific experiments on
the Woburn Fruit Farm in England.
1t has been observed that the less a
fruit tree is pruned the larger and
heavier 1t becomes, even when allow
ance is made for wood removed in
annual pruning of normal trees. The
fruit crops are also increased as the
amount of pruning is diminished.
The general conclusion is that the
less pruning the better, both as re-
CARDS growth and fruit. This applies;
however, only to healthy and estab-
lished trees. Transplanted, injured
and ailing trees are benefited by
pruning.

sixteen years ago by DR.. Eugene Du-
bois in the gravel beds of the Benga-

recent explorations in the same To-

had still earlier inhabitants, who built
fires, cooked deer, pigs and ancient
buffalos and elephants, and had pot

NEW YORK REPUBLICANISM.

The action of the New York repub-
lican convention in renominating Gov
ernor Charles Evans Hughes will meet
with the approval of every lover CT
good clean government who has
watched the struggle of this fearless
executive against the combined forces
of race-track corruption and corpora
ton greed. and Governor Hughes de-
serves the congratulation OF clean
men of every state, irrespective of poll
itics.
The dark cloud on the denomination
Of Governor Hughes, however, lies In
the fact that he and his friends were
compelled to wrest the nomination
from an unwilling convention. The
nomination was given to Governor
Hughes, yes. But it did not come to
him as the spontaneous reward Of
duty well performed. 1t was given him
srudgingly, because the convention
which had the naming of the .republi-
can candidate for governor dared not
dc otherwise.
The forces which control the repub-
lican party in New York and which, in
all ordinary matters, dictate its poll
cies had slated Mr.. Hughes for defeat
They had hoped to be able to name
some republican of national prominence
whose standing would be such as
would completely overshadow the main
object the ringsters had in view-tne
elimination of the most fearless and

the White House.
Their scheme was a good one and ii
would have worked, had not President
Roosevelt, with his domineering ways
and clear insight, taken hand In the
game and told the convention that ii
must nominate Mr.. Hughes. Not only
that, but he told Mr.. Elihu Root, Mr.
