Spontini's Decorations.

Casparo Spontini, the composer, re
garded himself in the light of a demi-
god, and when inspirations crowded
upon him he donned a wide, toga-
like gown of white silk with a border
of gold and fez of white silk EN-
broidered i'll gold from which heavy
tassel hung down. With great dignity
he sat down before his desk, and If
a grain of dust was visible on the
paper on which he penned his music
he rang the bell impatiently for his
servant to remove the obstacle. Spon-
tini owned so many medals and deco
rations that they could no longer be
accommodated on his breast. At a
grand musical reunion at Halle an old
musician remarked to a comrade, "See
how many decorations Spontini has
while Mozart has not one" Spon-
TIM, who overheard it, replied quickly,
Mozart, my dear friend, does not
need them"

REGULATE PRICE OF MILK.
Attorney General Recommends Dras-
tic Legislation.


Albany. y. Y. April 26.-Drastic leg
iSlatiOn is recommended to regulate
the price of milk in the report submit
ted To the legislature by Attorney Gen
eral Edward r. O'Malley as result
of his investigation of the so called
milk trust operating in New York city.
The report calls attention to the
general subject Of the antimonOpoly
laws 70 great extent these statutes
have not brought the relief hoped for
because they are evaded by SO called
"gentlemen's agreements" or under
standings which it is practically i'm
possible to reach.
The attorney general recommends
the continuance of the antimonOpoly
laws, hut says the state must now go
further. 1T must regulate the price
or at least the profits which middlemen
and dealers may charge for articles Of
common necessity. Milk or any other
article of common necessity can be
handled at less expense in large guam
titles The evil, therefore, is not so
much the organization as the abuses
which this organization produces
The attorney general finds that from
the testimony there exists In New
York city a condition which in effect is
combination which fixes the price at
which the producer is obliged to sell
milk in the metropolitan market and
that the producer has no voice in de-
termining what that price is,

Washington, April 26-Presidcnt Taft

to the "ervy' men must feel of the

brace. But it gives me great pleasure

Here are few of Mr. Carnegie's
epigrams The reason the world made

Washington. April 26.-The senate
leaders were on the point of reaching
an agreement to vote on the railway
bill on Saturday, May I, when Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin objected to
the request for unanimous consent, and
the plan for putting a limit on railway
talk in the senate failed. As the result
the leaders may decide to impose night
sessions to hasten the end.
81 have no particular pride in the
manner in which the people of the
United States have managed their
transportation affairs" said Senator
Dolliver in opening the debate. I'm
the midst of the Roosevetan period
there have been issues of railway
stocks and bonds exceeding S3,00O,000.
an amount in excess of the national
debt following the civil war. These
obligations have been incurred without
the building of single line of rail
road or the construction of a depot sta
ton. This debt represents harmony in
absorption and consolidation of rail-
way lines. but it must be paid by fu-
ture generations"
Senator Dolliver said that he was not
certain but that mergers of railway
systems was IA wise thing, though he
has never committed himself on the
subject. II am open to conviction as
TO the question" he added. but If
mergers are ever permitted the great
hand of tine United States government
should be on every transaction. l am

RAISING OF POULTRY
Or. L, L. Taylor viii publish
each week a few helpful
hints to poultry ralsers.

Feeding the young chickens
When a chicken is newly hatch
ed it should be allowed to dry
off in the brooder or incubator
which has been heated to 100
degrees or under the hen as the
case might be. Do not feed un-
til they are 4S or 60 hours old
and then give a little of some
boiled egg; following this they
should have placed before them
in a shallow pan some dry mash.
The Kansas experiment station
recommends the following: Two
pounds each of corn meal,
shorts, bran, and beef scraps
and ! pound of charcoal. This
mash should be kept before
them until they have obtained a
good growth. Another Kansas
formula is two pounds of sifted
corn chop or cracked corn,
cracked kaffir corn, cracked
wheat, and one pound millet,
Keep fresh clean water and
clean grit before them at all
times.
Rudd's method of feeding
Rudd advises feeding chickens
for the first two weeks on crum-
bled johnnycake or waste bread
and granulated oats dry, keep
ing green food and powdered
charcoal always before them.
After three weeks he begins to
give moist food such as stale
bread soaked in sweet milk
thickened with corn meal, the
latter making up about one half
of the whole feed. After four
weeks he discontinues the granu-
lated oats and recommends plenty |
of cracked wheat or corn always
before them until they are large
enough to eat whole grain,
BOYER'S METHOD for the
first week give rolled oat meal
fed in troughs, alternating with
stale bread crumbled, with boiled
milk to drink. After the first
week feed on mash composed of
two parts bran one part corn
meal or one part ground wheat
may be added. To pan full of
mash which should be mixed stiff
20 that it shall crumble, he re-
,ommmends adding a handful of
neat chops, after two week he
recommends the addition of
tracked wheat.
Grit shell and powdered char
,oal should always be kept be-
ore the chicken and feed plenty
# green tops or if these can not
,e had give baked pototoes cut
n two in the center.
