With the incubator.

There is nothing mysterious or hard
to understand in operating the modern

"gumption," is all that is necessary.

It is always hest to follow the rules
that so with the particular make OF
machine one is using, rather than to
be guided by mere Opinions" formu-
lated either by the operator himself or

neighbor. This is because in the very
nature of things the men who make
ones machine. know better. how that
particular make should be operated,

OF course, after one has III a hatch

out some possible improvement, then
it is all right to go ahead carefully

Pieces With Their Men.

Blast Expected TO Displace 10000
Tons Of Rock Explodes Prema-

in Rags From Trees. =,

Albany, N. Twenty men were
blown to pieces and fifteen were ter
rfbly injured in the premature ex-
plosion Of 1000 pounds Of dynamite
in the stone quarry of the Callahan
Road Improvement Company. near
the village of South Bethlehem,
eleven miles south of this city. The
heads of two workmen were sent sew
eral hundred feet into the air, and
arms and legs were picked up sew
eral hundred yards distant.
John Hoyt Callahan, vice-president
and general manager of the company,
and his brother, Charles D. Callahan,
both of this city, were standing side
by side when the explosion occurred.
Only small fragments, of their bodies
have been found, and these made 2
CARLOAD. Their brother, James H.
Callahan, Is editor of the Schenectady
Union and postmaster OF that city.
The other victims were: Leroy NC
MILAN, assistant superintendent at
the quarry; John Hendrickson, fore
man: Fred Snyder, master mechanic;
Fred Zapper, agent of the National
Powder Company, of New York:
James N. Maloney and twelve Italian
workmen.
The explosion was so powerful that
the clothes were torn from the VIC
tins. Rent w~aistcoats, trousers and
shirts were flung to the branches of
trees all around the quarry, where
they hung and tapped in the wind.
one OF the most shocking features Of
the disaster. The quarry is In the
side of a steep hill, and several bodies
were flung out of the big excavation
high up toward the hilltop.
The Callahan Company has been
engaged in supplying crushed stone
for road building, and recently extra
men were employed. For six weeks
preparations had been in progress for
a blast which was expected to displace
10000 tons of rock. A big section of
the hill raj to be blown out. Thir-
teen holes, each Ave inches in diam
eter, had been drilled in solid rock
to a depth of seventy-hve feet. Eight
thousand pounds of dynamite were
to be packed in these holes and ex-
ploded by an electric current at the
same instant. Six hundred pound
charges had been placed in six of the
holes, and the workmen were filing
the seventh hole when the explosion
occurred. Nothing Is known about
the cause of the blast, as all the men
near the spot were killed. It Is the
opinion Of experts, however, that one
Of the men carrying dynamite to the
hole dropped his load and that it was
exploded by contact with the solid
rock. $"
The workmen ininred vera in nm

CAPTAIN HAMS GUILTY
OF MAAsLAUGA1ElR
First Degree Verdict by the Jury
on a Compromise.
ONLY FOUR BALLOTS TAKEN
Six Stood For Murder in the First
Degree in the First Three, and
the Others For Acquittal-Ver.
dict q Surprise.

Flushing, l.. Neither the plea
Of insanity nor indirect appeal to the
.sunWritten law was successful in
saving from punishment Capt. Peter
G. Hams, U. S. A., who with an auto
matte revolver that made twenty bull
let wounds caused the death Of Will
lam 3. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club in last August. The soldier
was found guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree by a jury in the
Flushing Supreme Court that for
more than three weeks listened to
testimony concerning the actual
shooting and the cause of it. The
jury was out from 1906 to 4.O6 p.
M, and spent an hour and a half Of
that time at luncheon. They took
four ballots in all, the first three
standing six for conviction of murder
in the first degree and six for acQuit-
tai on the ground Of insanity.
The verdict was a compromise.
Spectators in court who listened to
the testimony were sure that on the
evidence there must be either a YER
dict Of murder in the first degree or
acquittal. The determination of Ju-
ror No. s., Wilbur G. Craft to stay in
the jury room until "hell froze over
before he would vote to send free q
man he believed guilty undoubtedly
caused the six holding wi for acquit-
tai to yield to manslaughter IN the
first degree. BY the verdict Captain
Hams may be sentenced to from one
to twenty years in prison unless his
counsel can obtain a new trial.
The verdict caused much surprise.
After the acquittal OF Thornton Hams
and the comment in Flushing It was
expected the Captain would he set
free. Those who reasoned in that
manner lost sight of the fact that
Captain Hams killed Annis. The
story of the. alleged intimacy between
Mrs. Claudia Hams. the Captains
wife, and Annis was expected to have
such weight with the jury as to lead
them easily to the conclusion that
the Captain was insane when he
killed Annis. The counsel for the
defense also were startled. and they
announced their intention to fight for
a new trial., One Of the unusual
grounds which they will urge IS the
statement that the Jurors were per-
omitted to move about unguarded.
There was no objection to the actor
OF Justice Crane lat the trial o.
Thornton In letting the Jurors go Il
their homes each night.

DEATH PREVENTED MURDER.
Willis White Died as He Attempted
to Kill James Thomas.

Niagara Falls, n. Y.-Only death
prevented Willis White from killing
James Thomas. White, armed with
a revolver and a razor, went to a
barn where Thomas was employed
and demanded some money. Meet
ing with a. refusal he drew the re-
vOlver. ~
For several minutes Thomas man
aged to elude him by lodging in and
out among the vehicles. Thomas was
finally driven into a corner, but just
as White lifted the revolver and fired
he was attacked with hemorrhage OF
the lungs. The shot went wild. With
blood pouring from his mouth, White
staggered forward several steps and
fell dead.

For Dyspepsia and Indigestion
II you Suffer from Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas on
the Stomach, Belching, Sour Stomach, Heartburn
etc, a little Kodol will Relieve you almost Instantly

Kodol supplies the same digestive
5uices that are found ina healthy
stomach. Being a liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be dipested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do it's
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will, give the stom-
ach complete rest.
WhyP Because Kodol does the
same work as q strong stomach, and
does 1t in q natural way.

credit lost. It is not unusual for a
well conducted farm to average e
ly 200 eggs per hen per year, and the
tendency is to improve upon this fig
ure. Several years ago in Australia
an egg-laying contest was held extend
ing over al entire year, a great num-
Der Of breeds being pitted against
each other, and the average of the
winning pen of six pullets, averaging
from seven to twelve months old, was
218 eggs per hen for the year. At many
OF the experiment stations in this
country similar tests are conducted
from time to time, and it is not unusu-
al for n hen Of selected fowls to
produce an average of Esq eggs apiece,
while the record for individual hens,
q much disputed honor. is considera-
bly, above that figure. The White Leg.
horns appear to be quite as good lay
ers as any other breed, and in the Cali
fornia settlement at Petaluma, this
variety is raised almost exclusively.
The Brown Leghorn while not quite so
prolific layers require relatively small
rations and therefore are considered
very economical egg producers. A
good layer will produce five or six
times her weight in eggs each year.
