CANAL BUILDING DELAYED
Deepening Of Locks Compels Post
ponement of Construction Work.

PUHeIHeHC Oh ConStructlon WOrk.
A contract for furnishing the isthmian
canal commission with $1,000 barrels Of
cement, in addition to the 400 600 barrels
already contracted for with that COM
pany. has been awarded to the Atlas
Portland Cement Company of Northamp-
ton, Pa.
1t had been hoped that the work on the
locks at Gatun. Miraflores and Pedro
Miguel would be commenced about jan
uary 1. Original invitations for furnish
ing the commission with cement contem-
plated that the deliveries in large quanti-
ties should begin then.
AS the work of excavation for the

it has been found desira BILE to make them
deeper than was at first thought neces-
sery. In consequence actual construction
work will be delayed until July.

Capt. Hams Acts Strangely.

Mr.. Shay spent more than an hour in
the Jail this morning in communication
with Capt. Hams. Ever since the shoot
ing he has appeared indifferent toward
his future fate. 1t is said he suffered
lapses OF memory and is bewildered at his
imprisonment, not realizing that he is
charged with a crime. This morning he
refused to leave his cell when summoned
to a conference, pretending to be asleep.
There is one thread of the case that
thus far District Attorney Ira G. Barren
has been unable to get hold of-that is a
personal interview with either Capt
Hams wife or Attorney Wild. Just why
this apparent evasion should exist on the
part of the lawyer and Mrs. Hams Oar
rem declines to say, but II Is probable that
Mrs. Hams is still undecided as to what
course to pursue-whether to aid the
prosecution or come out in defense of her
husband.

which the diameter was but ninetythree

The question arose as to whether nau-

plane can be described by words in the

Commander Chandler said he had or

will soon be calling on him in aeroplanes.
Wright said he could launch his aerial
flyer from a roofrop without the aid of a

SHEEP AND WOOL.

"A sheep grower in the American
Stockman takes this view Of the
future, viz:
With the coming of spring the in
terrupted activities that are now be-
ing resumed will be under full sway,
and then sheep, lambs and wool will
be worth as much, if not more, than
before the panic Sheep and lambs
were the last in live stock to break in
values and the first to, recover. Wool
was even more strongly entrenched,
holding remarkably firm. While
there has been no demand to speak
of for sixty days past, there has been
no wool sacrificed, proving beyond a
doubt that stocks of wool are light
and strongly held
Our great increase I'm population
has been followed by increased pro-
duction of cattle, hogs, grains and
eotton-but not of sheep. On the
contrary, our sheep have decreased
many millions. We must import
forty per cent. of the wool and
wooden goods that our need demands
and yet our consumptive demand for
the healthful and pleasing mutton
chop and roast increases wonderfully.
While the slaughterers can make a
good, high profit, they will pay big
prices, big prices tempt the growers
to sell, and even to part with their
lambs. The conditions as they are
and have been for some time am
confident will continue.

CORN ENslLAGE. i

1t is too COMMONLY supposed that
ensilage made from fodder corn must
be uniform in it's nutritive value. This
is by no means tKe:fact- The ensilage
put up the last few years is much
better than that which was made at
first when large quantity rather
than quality was what was mainly
sought for. All corn ensilage re-
quires some supplementary food be
given with it, for corn is not a we'll
balanced ration. But some corn en-
silage requires more of other food as
its supplement 1t is possible to en-
silage corn when it has reached the
caring stage, cutting up the ear with
the stalk. This is worth two or three
times more for the same bulk than
corn fodder sown or drilled too thick
ly to allow it to form ears and cut as
soon as 1t gets into tassel.-Epir

WOMAN KILLS BURGLAR.
Mrs. Jones Saved Life Of Father In
Desperate Struggle With Negro.
Used Pistol Effectively.

Mrs. Ed Jones, prominent woman
Of Montgomery, Ala, shot and killed
negro burglar at her home in that
city at 3 O'Clock Sunday morning.
At the time the shot was fired the
burglar was engaged In a hand-to-hand
struggle with her aged father, Barney
Rhody. and was attempting to pull him
out through window, where negro
confederate stood to aid the burglar.
The inmates Of the house were arols-
cd by noise just under Mr.. Rhody's
window Mrs. Jones went into her
fathers room to investigate and in so
doing aroused her father, who was still
asleep. Upon awakening Mr.. Rhody
threw open the window and was seized
by the burglar and desperate struggle
then ensued. Miss Maud Rhody, a
younger sister of Mrs. Jones, rushed
into the room, armed with an iron rod,
which she welded with telling effect
Ipon the head OF the negro, who never
for an instant, however, relaxed his
hold upon Mr.. Rhody.
Seeing her father was about to be
overcome and dragged through the win
dow, Mrs. Jones pointed her pistol at
the negros head and pulled the trig-
ger, but to her dismay the rusty re-
volver only snapped.
Coolly readjusting her aim the de-
termined woman again pulled the trig-
ger and, when there was no explosion
from the weapon, she prayed in despair
but tried it third time. With the
fourth pull Of the trigger there was
resounding discharge Of the revolver
that drowned the crack Of blows which
rained ON the Negroes head from the
iron rod which was still being welded
by the younger sister. The negro fell
back into the yard with bullet in his
brain and died soon after.

WHAT THE TRAP NEST DOES.

1t shows which hen lays the egg.
1t shows Just what each hen is doing.
1t picks out the 30O-egg hen, the
200-egg, the 100-egg, the ffty-egg
and the drone. Feeding the drone
is one of the greatest leaks of the
poultryman.
1t picks out the winter layer. 1t
enables one to get. acquainted with
each individual hen.
The frequent handling aud NOV
ing the hen from the nest tames her
and the tame hen is paying hen.
1t prevents egg eating, as the Gull
prit is easily detected and killed.
1t picks out the hen that lays the
infertile egg, the brown, the white
and the yellow egg.
1t picks out the hen that raises
the best chicks. Not always the
highest scoring hen raises the win
ming chicks.
1t is the only practical way that
breeder can pedigree his stock. Poul-
try will in time be pedigreed as is
other pure-bred stock. Trap nests
may be placed in a building or yard
away from the laying hens (when
used for sitting hens) and they can
be removed once a day for feed and
water. When they return to the nests
they shut themselves in and the other
hens out so they cannot crowd on and
break the eggs.
The trap nest is simple contriv-
ance by which the door is set on a
trigger which is sprung by the hen
when she enters. The door closes
and she cannot leave the nest until
removed by hand.
A numbered band on each hens leg
enables the owner to tell exactly what
each hen is doing by writing her NUM-
Der on the eggs in the trap nest

SELECT sALABLE POULTRY.

Poultry meat commands a good
price during the three spring months.
Why not get ready to sell all then
that can be spared? The young ones
will be coming on soon thereafter, If
not at that time; and will bring the
flock up to its. usual number. Too
many make the mistake Of selling
just whenever they happen to get
ready to take something to market,
irrespective of, the prices that may.
be expected at::that time. If we do
