Poultry Gardening

Say, Sandlotter, can you tell me the
brand of the best poultry food?"
Sure; sweet peas for laying hens.
Put them under about four inches of
soft earth. For growing broilers try
nasturtium seeds, under three inches
of moist loan. To make a lusty young
rooster arise and crow at 4 a. m. try
radish seed three inches deep. Small
chicks thrive best If you give them
the run of your neighbor's front lawn.
Half grown turkeys fatten rapidly if
given the luscious leaves of lilies. Let
them pick the leaves themselves. Ten
der poppy plants also please turkeys.
Give them gentle exercise by chasing
them into a corner and throwing them
over the fence. 1t won't hurt them:
they'll fly back to their feed. I find
young ducks are fond of lettuce. Let
them pick their own plants. oh, I've
had lots of experience"
But you're such a kidder, Sandlot-
ter I don't believe you own any poul-
try at ALL"
II don't. My neighbor owns them. I
merely feed them.'s

SCOTS AND ENGLISH

CORRESPONDENT who says he
u is an American of Scottish de-
scent and has not drop of Eng
lish blood in his veins writes us a let
ter in which he asks: "Why have
some of the newspapers called Sir
Henry -Bannerman an Eng
lishman and an English premier? To
people who know he was the son of
the provost of Glasgow and engaged
in business there 1t is hard to under
stand why he should be posthumously
libeled. Perhaps, however, there is
some occult reason for denationalizing
him. For many years Sir Henry was
the representative (member of parlia-
men) for Stirling Burghs-that is to
say, he represented in parliament a
place which is associated in history
with the battle of Bannockburn, the
decisive engagement of the Scottish
war of independence. The Scots are
jealous of their independence. which,
in spite of parliamentary union with
England, they still retain nationally.
They have their own Judiciary their
own common law, their own jury sys-
tenn, their own church. Please explain
how the typical Scotsman who for
forty years was the representative of
Bannockburn in the parliament of the
United Kingdom was after death
translated to a state of Anglicism?
There are many thousands of good
Americans of Scottish descent who are
as eagerly anxious as I am to learn
the process by which the pOsthumous
naturalization Of the member for Ban
nockburn was accomplished"
In answer to our correspondent we
may say the extraordinary posthumous
transformation complained of is at
tributable to the same cause to which
general ignorance of American history
and the first principles of Americanism
must be attributed-namely, the mis-
eraDly inefficient teaching of history in
American schools and the Incorrect
ness of American school books. The
early history of the United States is
not well known. The reason for the
separate national existence of the
United States is not well known.
Therefore we cannot wonder that it is
hardly known at all that the border
between England and Scotland is still
so well defined that any one could be
blindfolded and taken across the bor-
der and in less than an hours journey
would realize he was in a new coun-
try. The persistence of a well defined
line of separation is a phenomenon of
national individualism, attributable in
great measure to irreconcilable reli-
gious differences, which prevent inter-
national marriages between the Eng
lish and Scotch from becoming COM
mon.

not improbable that a business con-
ference of all the English speaking
countries would produce good results.
Meanwhile, at home the demands of
the Citrus Protective league that tariff
should be used in order to establish a
local industry are worthy of hearing.
1t is claimed that If California fruits
are to hold the American market and
conquer permanent world market the
tariff must be reformed for the benefit
of the orange trade, and in this in
stance tariff reform should take the
shape of protection. 1t is probable that
a fruit tariff league will be formed in
this state.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-24
THE FRUIT MARKET

A active demand for California
~ oranges in New York emphasizes
the Importance of the claims OF
fruit farmers, who say that in order to
grow fruit at a profit in California the
protective tariff principle must be ac-
cepted as far as fruit is concerned by
Californians, irrespective of political
affiliations. There should be an Ameri-
can market for American grown fruit,
and if protection should develop a ma
tional trust it would be easy to make
the necessary correction. In Mexico,
as we have pointed out before the
tariff has been used as an adjunct to
business. Industries that needed pro-
lection were protected until they
reached the trust-forming stage. Then
the protection was withdrawn until the
trust was dissolved. The reason why
trusts flourish in the United States is
in the conservatism of this country.
Although it is republic it is far from
being radical and in financial and busi-
ness matters is extremely shy of
changes or Innovations The move
ment in the United States for reduc-
ton of tariff on certain goods is coin.
cident with movement in Britain for
protection. The protection theory found
favor in the British islands until the
time of the first reform bill, early in
the ''thirties" of the nineteenth century
During a long reign of free trade the
British empire has thriven and grown
in manner Unprecedented in history.
But Britons are beginning to claim
that the growth has been at the ex-
pense of the mother country. Some
colonies are establishing protective
tariffs, and are even taxing goods inn
ported from England, Scotland and Ire
land. At this point maternalism or
paternalism, or whatever it may be,
toward colonies ceases to be virtue.
New fiscal and tariff movements have
an important bearing on the future of
the countries that use the American
language. These are the United States,
United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa,
West Indies, Australia, New Zealand,
British Columbia and part of British
India At the rate at which the use
of the language is being increased 1t
will soon be to all intents the world

countries are bound to arise, and II is

NAVAL PROTECTION

TF FLEET week has made any one
fact more emphatically apparent
Il than another it is that the United
States should without delay establish
permanent Pacific fleet, and that
enough vessels of the visiting fleet to
guarantee coast protection should be
left to patrol these shores. A mere
demonstration of naval power is gratt-
flying to patriotism, but if the depar-
ture of the fleet is to be followed
sooner or later by international COM
plications which may make California
the object of attention and perhaps of
attack by a foreign foe. then its visit
will merely have aggravated an al
ready keen local sense of the unpro-
tectedness of this fertile, lovely, pic
turesque, populous land of homes and
families. When California invites the
people of the eastern states to come
here and share the delight of the cli-
mate, and sit every man beneath his
own vine and in the shelter of his own
roof tree, it is California's duty to
urge. enforce, drive home, impress by
every means in it's power, on the gov
ernment at Washington the absolute
and imperative necessity of adequate
protection for this coast. War scares"
should be unknown here. If there is
ever any war talk it should not. be
able to produce a scare. At present
the first honest thought of every citi-
zen of Los Angeles who knows better
than TO delude or deceive himself is
What MIGHT happen if an unfriend-
ly fleet dashed upon us In the absence
of our natural protector, the navy of
the United States?"
California is entitled to protection.
She is always ready to furnish troops
to the nation, and her boys have helped
to make the Star Spangled Banner re-
spected on sea and shore. The least
we may reasonably expect in return is
that the Pacific coast should be pro-
tected, that it should be made perma-
nently safe, and that the fear of at
tack or invasion should be altogether
and forever eliminated from the
thought of California residents by that
guarantee of security which can be
furnished only by the guardianship of
an efficient naval force.
If the government of the United
States were to detail some of the pow
erful vessels now visiting us to guard
our coast permanently 1t would be
doing no more than it's duty.

SAYS GOOD TIMES ARE
NOT FOR THE SAILORS

Los ANGELES, April 23.-[Editor
Herald: A chance remark I over
heard today threw (for me) a new light
on the way public opinion is manufac-
tured and "steered."
A friend was remarking upon the
memorable high old time Los Angeles
Is giving the fleet.
"Well, but are they? Are they hav-
ing such tremendous timer" asked
another who had not before spoken.
II don't say few officers are not
getting 1t pretty well, but as to the
men-their good time seems to consist
chiefly in a wearisome patrolling, with
a few incidental drinks, cigars and s.
cent picture shows thrown in. Fleet
festivities seem to me like 'Repub-
lican prosperity to have little mean
ing except for favored few"
This gave me, as the Frenchmen
say "furiously to think"

SAYS LUST FOR GAIN is
MOTIVE FOR VIVISEcTlON

LOS ANGELES. April 23.-[Editor
Herald: The subject of vivisection
(painful experimentation upon ami
mails in the alleged interest of sci
ence) is now prominently before the
people of the country, and certain hu-
name individuals are endeavoring to
get law placed upon the statutes of
various states that will in some meas
ure restrain the now utterly unre-
strained cruelties practiced, and some
what mitigate the sufferings of these
unfortunate animals.
To the humane mind it seems incred-
ible that people, intelligent, educated,
"civilized," can carry on or defend
methods which violate the first prin-
ciples of honor and justice; which stul-
tify the mind with distorted ideas Of
disease and it's cure; which degrade
the morals of the young, poison the
blood of the sick and put our medical
system on a level WITH If not lower
than, the superstitions of past centu-
ries.
For exactly in this way would des-
ignate the present popular "biolog-
ical," "bacteriological," vivisectional
methods, with their cuttings and
burnings, poisonings and inooulations
of helpless creatures and their "se-
rums"-the product of animal disease
recklessly implanted In the life cur
rent of old and young.
I repeat this state of things seems
incredible, but it's existence is easily
explained, for the cause lies In the
spirit of greed conquest, gain, ex-
ploitation, which is the curse of this
so-called "age of progress" For puf-
poses of personal profit, advantage,
power, money. fame are men In this
business of using as material the
bodies of sentient creatures, both hu-
man and sub-human. See the enor-
nous revenues drawn from the sale

did they write for fun?
1t will neither answer nor vitiate
the foregoing facts to say, "but that is
in England because observation
shows that conditions in England and
America are today almost, If not quite,

the big eastern cities-that an able
man recently, in desperation at the
failure of all his efforts to find en-
ploynent, resorted TO the expedient of
decrying himself in an ad as good for
nothing, demanding high salary and
promising to call on any prospective
employer, "if not too tired"

Princeton.-The funeral Of Grover
Cleveland was marked by extreme
simplicity. No pomp nor splendor had
place in the ceremonies. There were
no bands to play dirges on the way to
the old Princeton cemetery, no mill
tary escort, no eulogy by the officiating
clergymen.
The half mile of thoroughfare
through which the cortege passed
from Westland, the Cleveland home
on Bayard lane, to the cemetery was
policed by mounted troops, but they
were there for police duty and as
measure of precaution in protecting
the living president rather than for
display in paying tribute to a de-
parted chief executive.
Four clergymen officiated at the
house and at the grave. They read
the burial service from the Presby-
terian Book of Common Worship, but
offered no eulogy. This simple but
impressive service was conducted by
DR.. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton,
Rev. DR.. Williams R. Richards, pastor
of the Brick Presbyterian church of
New York; Rev. Sylvester w. Beach,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Princeton, where the Cleveland
family attended, and Rev. Maitland v.
Bartlett, former pastor of the same
church.
There were no honorary pallbear-
ers. Those who bore Mr.. Cleveland's
body to it's final resting place in the
Cleveland plot were Mayor George B.
Mcclellan, Paul Morton, Commodore
E. c. Benedict, Richard Watson Gill
der of New York; Prof. Paul Van
Dyke, Dean Andrew F. West, Prof.
John G. Hibben, Junius S. Morgan,
nephew of j. Pierpont Morgan; A. D.
Russell, Prof. Howard McLenahan,
and Bayard Stockton of Princeton.
The simple Presbyterian service was
said at the grave, the casket lowered
into the ground, and one of the coun-
try's most distinguished citizens had
become but memory. A silver plate
on the casket bore the inscription:
Grover Cleveland, March 1S, 1887

To the People of the United States:
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States from 1885 to 1889 and again
from 1893 to 1897, died at $40 o'clock this
morning at his home in Princeton, N. j.
In his death the nation has been deprived
of one of its greatest citizens By pro-
fession a lawyer, his chief services to his
country were rendered during a long,
varied and honorable career In public
life.
AS mayor of his city, as governor of his
state, and twice as president, he showed
signal power as an administrator, coupled
with entire devotion to the country'S good
and courage that quailed before no hos
tility when once he was convinced where
his duty lay. Since his retirement from
the presidency he has continued we'll and
faithfully to serve his countrymen by the
simplicity, dignity, and uprightness of
his private life.
In testimony of the respect in which
his memory is held by the government
and people of the United States, 1 do
hereby direct that the flags on the White
Horse and the several departmental
buildings be displayed at half-staff for a
period of 30 days, and that suitable mill
tary and naval honors, under the orders
of the secretaries of war and of the navy
be rendered on the day of the funeral.
