It Was Ryland's Band That Made the
Noise.
For the Advocate.

Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene McCaffrey,
Liberty street, were serenaded on
December ?, by Ryland's famous
orchestra. The music was hideous.
The cause of their appearance was
that a like handout has not been in
sight for some moons, but they got
away with it without endangering any
lives. The brides father made very
unbecoming remark about the main
piece of music. 1t won't stand for
print. The musicians after doing
their best captured another instru--
ment that could be played by all, and
they did it with the greatest OF ease
and without a headache.
The musicians were Chas. Everhart,
Irwin Little, VIM Sullivan, Raymond
Myers, WIN. Helm, F. T. Butler, J..
fl. Ryland, Gloyd Diffendal, Herbert
Matthias, Ernest Geiman, Capt. Jno,
N. Weigle, Charles Helderbridle, Dad

Fourteen Of World Powers Be Arrayed

New York.-To array IA Of the
world powers against the butchery OF
the birds of the globe for millinery
ornamentation is the object of an in
ternational movement which has been
formally called to the attention of the
United States government from this
city. Recommendations for the pro-
hibition of this feather traffic by non
export and nonimport laws in Great
Britain, German, France, Italy, Rus
STA, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Den
mark, Holland, Hungary, Austria, Ba-
varia and this country have just been
filed with Secretary Of State Knox at
Washington by William butcher, pres
ident of the National Association Of
Audubon Societies, who represented
the United States at the recent Inter
national pathological congress in
Berlin, where they were framed and
unanimously Endorsed by delegates
from every part of the world.
For the first time in history the
pathological authorities in their in
ternational c%onclave are reported to
have been able to unite upon some
simple course of action that would
best check the economic loss OF bill

been shown to result from the killing

Uncle Sam Is to Test the Open Door

When the recent convention be-
tween Russia and Japan was sprung
on the world American diplomats ex.
pressed little surprise. The govern
ment has believed from the first there
Is a secret article in this convention
which has not been made public. 1t is
felt the unpublished portion is an
agreement on the part of the two ma
lions to support each other In barring
other nations from the territory in
question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such a secret bargain exists.
The concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con-
struction of the Chin how-Aigun rail-
road line. English capitalists were to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built in America.
There Is one drawback to the situa-
ton from the standpoint of this gov
eminent. England for some unknown
s is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per-
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection. Diplomats seem to think II
quite likely that the United States VIII
have to make the fight single-handed
to keep Manchuria open with equal op-
n~ortunity to all nations.

Tattoo Suggested for Army Horses

A third marking takes place when the
horse is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery, and 1t
must be renewed from time to time.
It is Captain Conrad's idea that q
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to
the inside of the upper lip or the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose. and suggests the use
of India ink. with the result that d
mineral adopted will be indelible.
This will require. Of course, a regular
system of marking SO that there may
be no duplicates. By this means a
horse accepted for military service
will keep its number. 1t may be nee
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of a similar mark in the case
Of horses not used in the military
service.
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi-
tons during the coming year. BY this
method the middleman is avoided, and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system.
Besides, there is a better opportunity
Of selection, and controversies are
avoided which SO often have prevailed
between the government representa-
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications in the de-
livery of military animals.

nearly always draughty. q condition
which is extremely bad for hogs.
Poultry raisers are coming to learn
that the best houses for their use are
the open front style and hog raisers
will also doubtless accept the same
views In time.
In the Maryland house there are
seven divisions. each s feet wide. The
feeding alley is at the front; and down
the center of the floor, which is OF
cement, runs a division about n foot
deep and 5 feet wide. This separates
each pen into three divisions and into
this is swept all Of the waste bedding
and droppings.
The bedding quarters are at the
back Of the house.
All slaughtering is done In this
house. BY closing the gates and open
ing the double doors at each end q
wagon can be driven through.
The house is supplied with running
water and the troughs are made OF
cast-iron. 1t is probable, however.
that when the cast-iron troughs be.
come useless and rust, cement troughs
will be installed in their place.
This type Of house is cool in the
summer because 1t is high enough to
admit of abundance of air and 1t is
not too cool in the winter.

Will Lead in War on the Opium Evil

means of international agreements
throueh which opium producing coun-
tries will protect, by means OF gov
eminent supervision, ports where the
importation of the drug is prohibited
The first realization Of the serious
ness of the opium traffic SO far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt TO
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment OF a COM
mission. The commission In tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States, with some 100000 American
users Of smoking opium, to say notn-
ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
sented almost as serious a question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
fight among the powers against the
drug.
About a year ago a law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into his
country of opium for any except medf
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about $50, 900 Americans using
the drug, and in spite of the prohibi-
tory statute about $4,000 pounds of
smoking opium is struggled into this
country annually.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

ed from the nobility and scientists OF
IA of the leading nations are placing
before their governments the propo-
sition Of cooperation to break up the
destruction of bird life by the world
wide traffic in feathers. Though the
people of the country have come to
extend reasonable protection to their
birds in many states, the destruction
of American bird life must go on as
long as any foreign country continues
to offer a market for the sale of the
scalps of the birds of the United
States, according to Mr.. butcher.
Americans need the help of the
great world powers-as every other
people need our help-to check the de-
struction of the birds who work for
our common prosperity and health"
he says Owing to the high prices
offered for the plumes Of white herons,
birds of paradise, humming birds. al
batrosses and similar species in the
European markets, these birds have
been slaughtered almost to the point
of extinction. On the other hand,
thousands of the valuable insectivor-
Gus wild birds and game birds of Eu-
rope are shipped here as cage birds
and to make choice tidbits in our res
taurants. Only by putting a stop to
the export and import of birds butch
cred for commercial purposes can the
nations of the earth hope to retain
their valuable bird resources. 1t re-
mains for the American people to
take the first step IN this very vitaa
movement"

cuItivating Corn.

Cultivation of the soil checks the
evaporation of moisture; consequent
". has a tendency to make the soil
warmer. Checking the evaporation
also increases the supply Of available
moisture In the soil. Cultivation also
stirs up the soil and allows the air to
enter more freely. Consequently, In
c~ultivating, one has a means by which
he can largely control the available
moisture in the soil. In this way the
corn grower has the advantage OF the
grain grower; because the grain grow
er loses control Of his crop as soon as
it is seeded, while the corn grower can
do many things to regulate the sondf-
ton Of his soil by means OF cultiva-
ton.
Sweet corn fodder has more nutr1-
ton than that Of field corn. ! See that
every Bit is utilized after the carr are
gathered. It makes fine pork.

EXCELLENT HOUSE FOR HOGS

Maryland. 1t is 56x2S feet and Is used
mainly for fattening young hogs. It
is set facing the south and Is prac-

This type of hog-house, while well
adapted to the climate Of Maryland
and other southern states, would also
answer every purpose In the north.
A hog does not suffer from cold,

to confine the animals In q tightly
