FLOCK MATING.
II Perhaps Is Good Method Under
Certain Conditions.


Many breeders Of pure bred poultry
have eggs for sale from specially ma
ted pens, and from yards where they
practice flock mating, or where num-
Der OF hens are running with several
males Flock mating is all right, where
the males are of good quality. II an
egg machine or carcass only is re-
quired, but flock mating will not as a
rule produce fancy specimens for the
show room. Flock mating on free
range will give more fertile eggs than
can come from hens confined to a
small yard. In mating in this way,
however, it is best to choose males
as nearly uniform as possible; full
brothers are best. Breeders frequently
alternate males In a pen to secure
best fertility, and we have heard It
claimed that where the males are as
nearly alike in shape, size, and color
ing as possible, and carry the same
blood lines, that better show bird is
produced than is the product of the
single mating with one male. We
question this latter statement, yet we
would rather run males alternately
with the females than at the same
time. The interfering attention of
various males is sometimes q distinct
drawback to fertility.

OF CONGRESSIONAL
PARTY LOCKED OUT AT HILO

1t is officially denied that Frank
Woods kicked in the front door of
Demosthenes place at Hilo in order
to obtain shelter and food for himself
and some others of the Congressional
party. He didn't kick the door at all;
he simply put his foot against it and
showed, and the door flew open. 1t
couldn't help it.
And thereby hangs a tale. And
therefrom has resulted very merry
row and much i'll feeling toward Hilo
which Hilo itself does not at all de-
serve but which is all due to the bone
headedness of one man, if the accounts
of the returned travellers may be
credited.
The story that has drifted up from
the Big Island with the advance guard
of the Congressional party who came in
last Sunday starts from up the Hama
kua road. Ed Lord, it seems, made
the mistake of trying to run his auto
mobile between drove of mules and
a mountain. The space between was
less than the width of the motor ear,
and he eouldnt move the mountain,
L.
abandon his machine and hike for the
nearest telephone. where he called up
Manager Ross and told him his trou-
bles. Ross. like the good fellow he
is. promptly responded by sending a
chugbubble to the rescue of the
marooned travellers.
Meantime, the rest of the party bad
gone on to Hilo, and when they got
there. they told Chairman auckland,
of the Reception Committee, of the
pilikia in which Lord and his party
were. stating that they would prob
ably be along later.
auckland realized that Lord, Frank
Thompson and Frank Woods were prob
ably gnawing their patience and their
fingers somewhere out on the Hamakua
road and that they would arrive at
Hilo after midnight with appetites
such as John D. Rockefeller would give
a million to possess So he went TO
Panos, who runs Demosthenes Hho
place in the absence of the genial pro-
prietor, and explained the situation.
He engaged rooms for the belated
travellers and agreed with Panos that
the latter should see to it that Lord,
Thompson and Woods were fed when
they arrived. auckland insisted that
unless this were perfectly understood,
he himself would wait up for the be-
lated ones and see to it that they were
made comfortable. But he was told
that there was no necessity of his do
ing this, so he went off to bed
Sometime after midnight Lord and
his party reached Hilo and went at

once to the hotel 1t was dark. They
knocked at the door. No response.
They knocked some more. Still no
response. Then they took to beating
on the door, but nobody came Frank
Woods, hungry, dry and sleepy, acted
in the only way that promised to bring
results. He placed foot against the
outer door and showed. The door open

party entered. Everything was dark.
They set up cry for food, hot food
and plenty of it. Entered the temper
airy proprietor, his hair on end, his
countenance expressing outraged amaze
ment that any one should dare to dis
turb the quiet of Hilo at such an
hour. But he did not set forth viands,
either wet or dry. Instead, he rush
ed to the telephone and called up
Sheriff Fetter and made loud and
vociferous complaint of the roysterers
who were disturbing his slumbers.
Sheriff Fetter told him where he could
go to-a place with a climate some
what like that of the crater of Hale
maumau. But the outraged Greek re-
fused to feed his guests.
Meanwhile, Congressman Barchfeld

he came down in his pajamas to find
out what was happening. When the
situation was explained, he remarked
rsely that if the hotel could not en-
terrain his friends, it could not enter
tain him, and he went up stairs again
and packed his belongings and came
back, and the entire party wandered
forth into the blackness of a Hilo
night in search of a place where they
might lay their heads.
After wandering around the solemn
streets for while, they espied light
up one of the valleys, and reeonnoiter-
ing, they found it came from a cot
tage occupied by two youths. They
knocked and explained their predica.
ment. That was enough. The two
boys promptly threw open the door
and asked them in, and then proceed
ed to get out frying pan, some ham,
eggs and whatever else their larder
provided. and set out a feast that to
the fan,ishing travellers looked the
best of anything they had ever seen.
They ate it to the last erumb. Then,
as there was no room for them to
sleep in the cabin, they set forth
again, and after wandering through
the oppressive and Stygian blackness
of Hilo for while, found a belated
hackman who took them out to Sen
ator Baker s, where they were made
comfortable for the night.
But Frank Woods didn t kick that
door in. He only put his foo: against
it and showed.

WAS AN INSPIRATION
FIRST SINGING OF SANKEY'S
MOST FAMOUS HYMN.
1.-THE Ninety and Nine," So Powerful
an Aid in Evangelistic Work,
Was Not Planned by the
Writer.

The religious faiths of the world
have produce many remarkable and
beautiful lyrics, such as Newman's
Lead, Kindly Light" the Nearer, My
God, to Thee" of Sarah Flower Adams,
and Cowper's God Moves in a Mys-
FERROUS Way" Many of these were
written under peculiarly dramatic cir
cumstances, as was particularly the
case with those of Cowper and John
Henry Newman alluded to above,
writes F.. Reddell in the Milwaukee
Sentinel
But wide as has been their use and
their application among Christians of
all creeds and sects, there is one hymn
that overshadows all others, whether
we consider its widespread popularity
or its wonderful evangelistic power.
This hymn is "The Ninety and Nine"
by the late Ira D. Sankey, long the mu-
steal associate of Dwight L. Moody.
These two men together were the
greatest soul winners ever known, and
the success Of their united work was
undoubtedly largely traceable to Mr..
Sankey's songs in general, and to
"The Ninety and Nine" in particular.
Its unique origin has often been de-
scribed, but will bear repetition.
when leaving Glasgow for Edin-
burgh with Mr.. Moody, Mr.. Sankey
bought penny religious paper.
CHANGING over it as they rode on the
cars, his eye fell Upon a few verses
in the corner of the page. One day
they had an unusually impressive
meeting in Edinburgh, in which DR..
Bonar had spoken on "The Good Shep-
herd" At the close of the address
Mr.. Moody beckoned to his partner to
sing something appropriate.
cat first he could think of nothing
but the Twenty-third Psalm, but that
he had sung so often; his second
thought was to sing the verses he had
found in the paper but how could it
be done when he had no tune for
them? Then thought came-to sing
the verses he had found in the paper
| anyway. He put the verses before
him, touched the keys of the organ,
and sang, not knowing where he was
going to come out He finished the
first verse amid profound silence. He
took a long breath and wondered If he
could sing the second the same way.
He tried it and succeeded. After that
1t was easy to sing it. When he had
finished the hymn the meeting was all
broken down-throngs were crying
and ministers were sobbing all around
him"
| Hundreds were converted then and
there, while in subsequent years other
thousands of souls were gathered in
through the singing of "The Ninety
and Nine"
Clearly the song was the result of
q sudden inspiration so far as its mu.
steal setting was concerned, and 1t
may be doubted if there was ever a
similar case of spontaneous and subse.
quently successful composition.
THE Ninety and Nine" literally
sang its way around the world. The
simple paraphrase of the Scripture
parable appeals to "all sorts and con.
ditions of men," and the worlds hymn
ology is the richer for that Sunday
afternoon inspiration in the Scottish
capital which came to Ira d. Sankey
