AMERICAN HEN
is PROFITABLE
Secured Her Place In Agriculture
BY Producing Millions Of
Dollars Every Year
Need Little Care.
(By SAMUEL PHILLIPS.)


| know from what | have seen on
some farms that the hens made a
great deal more money-investmen
work and cost considered = than
any other one branch of farming
Most farmers consider the care of
poultry "woman's work." and some of
them are actually ashamed to be seen
helping their wives look after the
fowls. What mistake! 1t is not as
much a woman's work as a mans, be-
cause it often involves exposure dur
ing storms and cold weather and the
man who will refuse to save his wife
from any bit of hard work possible is
a pretty poor specimen of farmer.
If these men would study the science
of poultry raising and give it as much
attention as any other branch of farm
ing, they would make more money
and make 1t easier. The American
hen has made her place in agriculture
by producing millions of dollars every
year. and she has earned the respect
of every right-thinking farmer In the
land.

barn is 40 by 80 and has a curb roof.
1t affords a large amount OF storage
room for hay and grain.
With all classes of stock the value
Of the feed is the same. whether 1t be
fed to the scrawniest OF scrubs or the
best OF full-bloods.
Barley is one of the best feeds on
the farm. 1t contains a little more
protein than corn.
In bad weather Angora goats should
be fed some cheap hay or root crop.
| If protected from the rains you will
be repaid by more and stronger kids.
When good weather settles your goats
will go back to their brush eating
with ravenous appetites.
The average market hog should
weigh 300 pounds at eight months of
age. For the pig two to four months
old, protein is the most important
! feed.
Ground f1axseed is an excellent sub
stitute for butter fat to be fed to
calves. Use a heaping teaspoonful to
every feed of milk while the calf is
from two to six weeks old. provided
you are feeding skim milk.
AS the calf grows older gradually
increase the flaxseed meal until the
calf is getting about a heaping tea
spoonful with each feed. This may be
mixed with the milk, but never mix
cornmeal or any other ground feed
that contains a good deal of starch
with the milk, as that is very apt to
produce scours.
Starchy foods must be mixed with
saliva before digestion takes place
and anything that Is drunk with the
milk does not become thus mixed, and
consequently it fails to become di
gested and acts as an irritant to the
alimentary tract.

The hen expected to raise a large
brood of chicks should be provided
with the best quarters possible. The
coop should admit plenty of sunshine;
should be wind. water and vermin
proof; should be coy and dry and
should afford easy access to all parts
for cleaning and caring for the little
chicks. The floor should be near
enough to the ground so that the little
chicks after getting out can easily
find their way back and yet far enough
off the surface of the ground to in
sure dryness. The coop should not
be cumbersome. yet it should be sub
stantially built
The coop shown in the illustration
is well adapted to the needs of the
small fancier with only a brood or
two and TO the large poultry raiser
alike who raises a number OF chicks
with hens. 1t is built on the open
air colony house type plan. If it is
intended to give the chicks free range
after a few weeks old and after they
have been weaned from the old hen,
a roost may be placed in the back
part of the coop and the young fowls
raised almost to maturity in it,
The coop is Sc inches long by is
inches wide, and is inches high in
the rear and "a inches in front. 1t
is divided into two compartments. ma

them with roofing paper If second
grade lumber is used. The roof
should be of light pine lumber covered
with roofing material. Shingles are
not adapted to this coop or any coop
or poultry house, for that matter, as
they become water soaked when the
roof is laid at the angle suited to
poultry house and coop construction

fowls.

Good shelter for animals will not
make them less hardy nor more sus-
ceptible to disease; on the other hand.
In many cases, 1t will prevent the con-
traction of disease. There is no ques-
ton about the good of making the
shelter warm and comfortable. pro-
viding the sanitation, ventilation and
lighting are good. These are things
that are to be looked into carefully.
One other trouble In closely sta

Republican votes de feated the most important proposition connected with the railroad bill, viz, physical valuation, to be used as a basis for rates. Neither Wall Street nor the railroads need. in our judg- ment, to entertain any apprehension that the dominant party will take any really material anti-corporation action though it may make some bluffs in that direction.

WHY DIR. HADLEY
 IS HESITATING
Many Things For Yale President to Consider Before Accepting Place on Railroad CommiS- sion

New Haven, Aug. 2.-Those who are close to President Arthur T. Hadley Of Yale University and consequently in good position to make deductions regarding his attitude on the offer made by President Taft to have him head the government commission for the investigation of railroad stocks and bonds for the purpose of ascerta1n1ng g how much real value and how much water they contain, are of the opin- ion that the head of the university will in all probability accept the offer of chairman of the commission.
 They believe that Dr. Hadley, in asking for 10 days time before giving an answer to President Taft, did so for the purpose of considering seriously the many duties which will necessitate his attention during the next few months,-duties which this fall may be more numerous and pressing than heretofore and which include several lectures at the centenary exercises at the University of Berlin in October. President HadIey will be one of the honored guests at this celebration and with the duties incidental to the open ing of Yale the latter part of Septem- Der. it will be seen that he will be a very busy man in the fall.
 Notwithstanding the many things to occupy the time and attention of pr. Hadley the supposition is that he will accept the offer with the proviso that he will not be compelled to make a re- port at the coming session of Congress. President Hadley, it is believed, went over this at length with President Taft at the time last week when the matter was broached at the summer White House in Beverly. Mass.

VATICAN GIVES
 ITS OWN SIDE
Says it is Premier Canelejas Who Disregards Agreement
 of 1904

Rome. Aug. Zone hour after pre- senting the note of Premier Canalejas to the Vatican, officially announcing that Marquis de Ojeda had been "call- ed to Madrid for communication from the government. the Spanish ambas- sador to the Vatican left Rome. This was early yesterday morning, and as yet TO retaliatOry measures have been taken by the church. and Mgr Vico still remains in Madrid as Papal Nun cio.
 The statement issued by Premier CanalejaS. bearing on the controversy between the church and the state has been carefully persued by the Vatican officials, who wish it to be clearly un- derstOOd that that part of the state ment in which it is declared that the Holy See intended to concede to the Spanish government less than what was agreed to in 1904, is without foun- dation in fact. It is Canalejas, they declare, who now wants greater con- sessions than those of 1904. on the plea that they were granted to the Premier Maura and that Canalejas believed them to be at that time insufficient.
 In answer to this the Holy See re- torts that it deals with the Spanish government. not with parties in the CorteS. The convention between the Holy See and the Spanish government agreed 10 Tn I9U4, II IS pointed out, had already been approved by the Sen ate and was about to pass the Cham Der of Deputies. when the Maura cab inet fell. This. however, was due to matters having no relation to the con- vention or the religious question. Why then, the Vatican asks. should greater concessions be granted to Premier Can alejaS now?
 Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal Secretary of State. has prepared all the documents in the controversy for pub lfcation in White Book. if the prem fer issues a Red Book on the sub ject.

Gold imports are increasing: bank resources are gaining; exports promise to increase-such are favorable condi- tions cited by Banker Clews in his weekly review. On the other hand, wheat, cotton and corn appear likely to fall below early estimates. though corn may so improve as to promise a fig crop. On the whole. MT. Clews' review is quite optimistic in tone It concludes by saying:
 Securities bought on conservative lines are likely to prove profitable in- vestments. Stocks have suffered a shrinkage of nearly $2, 900. 900, 900 during the past six months and are fairly en- titled to a substantial recovery.
