hundreds of them. and so it was !;
the chicken houses we're there, l too
have seen them; and more will be
built and, in their turn, abandoned
But, just the same, the poultry bust
ness is capable of bigger profits than
any other business connected with the
soil; and these profits are waiting
for the right men-and women-to
dig them out by the constant use of
hands, legs and brain.
The men who started those plants
that now serve my nautical friend as
landmarks, stopped them not long
after starting, lacking the sense and
energy required to keep even the
smallest Of them going. But their
venture was not altogether a loss
since it enabled them to pose now as
edge. They are the ones who drop
al ound to advise Mr.. Amateur and
show him how he is all wrong, and
how the successful breeder who has
furnished him his stock is all wrong,
and how fortunate it is that be hap
pened around just in time to show
him what to do to get things going
right.
Now of course the new man is
worried about a whole lot of things.
How can it be otherwise? He is like
a young bear with all his troubles
before him. He is just finding out

For many years to come poultry
raising or egg ranching will produce
greater money returns with every
year. In every business are to be
found calamity howlers who devote
much of their far from valuable time
to decrying the business in general
and predicting woful smashes and
losses that never come. And no other
business has quite so many of these
worthless hangerson as has the poultry
industry; and yet no other business
is SO singularly free from periodical
depressions as it is.
The reasons for this somewhat
paradoxical condition Of affairs are not
hard to find and when intelligently
considered they are found to be most
satisfying and convincing. A brief
''look in" at the poultry business
can be chearly had, but not so cheap
ly maintained. Thousands of men,
failures at every other occupation
under the sun, appear to think that
failures in other lines qualities them
to become successful poultry raisers;
a very few dollars, and mo common
sense at all, is sufficient for start;
but as to staying in--well, that's
another story, as the immortal Kip
ling used to say.
"Why," said a friend of mine,
master of a steamer plying on Puget
Sound; "there's no money in raising
chickens. My whole route is dotted

many blissful evenings when he and
wife worked out the sum of their
future annual income with the aid of
the advertising masterpieces of the in
cubator manufacturer, the breeder
of 100 different varieties, the maker of
the patent feeds, and, last perhaps
but by no means least, the 20 or 30
poultry papers that he has subscribed
to and reads religiously; he is just
finding out, say, that these paper
profits may possibly be somewhat
Elusive. 1t worries him a good deal
and, of course, it is just the luck that
our friend Herr Won Wiseheimer
should blow along at the psychological
moment and stick his oar in.
The proper way to hand it to him
is to ask him how large a flock of
layers he is operating now, and what
system does be employ that enables
him to do so much visiting in bust
ness hours? But, of course again,
the new man is not yet equal to such
an occasion and, besides, he thinks
Herr w. is just about the whole thing
anyhow and SO he listens in despair
while our gassy friend proceeds to
"knock" his stock and his equipment
and his methods. According to this
descendant of the prophets he is
wrong in every particular. Don't
laugh, Mr.. Oldtimer, just think back
to the time when you were ready to
eat out of the hand of these wise
acres. Ii there is single one of us
who cannot figure up some pretty
good sized losses occasioned by these
ex-failures and their wise talk, that
one has the right to laugh at poor
Mr.. Greenhorn's receptivity. Alas
am not one of these fortunate ones.
A friend of mine sells every year
several thousand dollars worth of
stock and Matching eggs and such
things at good prices. | presume his
stuff is good for he has long list of
perennial customers, who would hard

got results. There is nothing very
remarkable about that but here is the
joke. He has neighbor who, with a

dimes where he makes dollars and yet |
this neighbor has for many years de-
voted considerable part of his time, |
daily, to telling any one who would
listen how the other man is wrong in |
every detail OF his management of his
fowls. And with the best intentions

Monsieur" he went on, and there
was a tense note in his voice, the
ambassador of France had disap-
peared, gone, vanished! We searched
the house from the cellar to the serv-
ants quarters, even the roof, but
there was no trace of him. The hat
he usually wore was in the hall, and
all his other hats were accounted for.

were found in their proper places. So

hat or coet!"
He stopped helplessly and his gaze
alternated inquiringly between the be-
nevolent face of the chief and the ex-
pressionless countenance of Mr..
Grimm.
IF he left the embassy" Mr.. Grimm
repeated. "If your search of the
house proved conclusively that he
wasn't there, he did leave it, didn't
he?"
Monsieur Rigolot stared at him
blankly for moment, then nodded.
And there are windows, you know"

M'NAMARAS WILL NOT PLEAD
Alleged Dynamiters Of Los Angeles
Times Building Spring Surprise
on Prosecution.

Los Angeles.-The defense in the
Mcnamara alleged dynamite con-
spiracy case sprung surprise when
John j. Mcnamara, the accused In
diana labor leader, and his brother,
James B. Mcnamara, were called into
Judge Bordwelps department of the
supreme court.
Both men were summoned to plead
to 10 charges of murder, the result
of the destruction of the Times news
paper plant on October 1, 1910. In
addition, John ]. Mcnamara was ex-
pected to plead to the charge that he
had conspired to destroy the Llewel-
lyn iron works. Instead he challenged
the jurisdiction of the court, claiming
that it had no right to exact plea or
to try him on either the 19 charges
of murder or the Llewellyn iron works
indictment, because he was extradited
from indianapolis not for murder, but
for alleged dynamiting.
The prosecution met the move OF
the defense with a motion to disalloW
the plea to jurisdiction.

er layer of veal, and so on until the
dish is full, having buttered crumbs
on top. Pour milk into the pan until

pan over it to keep in the steam. Re-
move the pan ten minutes before serv-
ing, and let the top brown. Sprinkle
with grated cheese or parsley.

SOMETHING FOR DESSERT.

This Is a recipe which won a prize
Of twenty-five dollars as the best one
In a maple sugar contest:
Maple Surprise Balls.-Core and
pare six apples that will cook tender
without losing their form. When cool
have some rice that has been cooked
In milk until tender, favored and
sweetened to taste. Cover each apple
with coating of rice, using butter on
the hands. Now set away to become
thoroughly chilled. When the time
comes to serve them, have a pint OF
maple sirup boiled TO a waxy stage,
and insert a fork in the center and
dip in the sirup, dripping 1t from
spoon all over until the rice Is Gov
cred. 1t hardens as soon as 1t covers
the cold balls. 1t is better to beat the
sirup until It is quite creamy before
dipping the apples. Set on individual
plates, fill the core with chopped nuts
and sirup, after rolling the apple in
Drowned coocoanut. This dish may be
prepared by using pears or fine fla
vored ounces. OF course this Is not
dessert one would care to prepare for
threshers in the busy market time.
Cocoanut Ple.-Line a plate with
plain paste; I'LL with the following
mixture: Two cups Of milk, three egg
yolks, one-half cup of sugar, one cup
Of grated cocoanut, fourth of a tea

ENDORSES "RULE OF REASON"
Wickersham Says Supreme Courts
Decision Makes Sherman Act Ef-
fective Against Trust VioIators.

Battle Creek, Mich.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham heartily Endorsed
the Supreme courts application
of the rule of reason" in its two
recent decisions, in an address to the
Michigan State Bar association.
THE most cursory examination Of
the decision in the tobacco case," said
the speaker, makes it perfectly ap-
parent that the Sherman law has been
demonstrated to be an actual and ef-
fective weapon for the destruction of
trusts. 1t is settled by these decisions
that no form Of corporation, organiza-
ton, merger or consolidation, can bar
a federal court of equity from termi-
mating an unlawful restraint or COM

nopolistic combination"

porations engaged in interstate trade
whose annual receipts exceed $5,000,-

Mr.. Newlands' speech was In ad-

ing for such a commission. His meas
ure would separate the bureau Of
corporations from the department Of

bureau into commission of inter

This commission would require all
industrial corporations having re-
ceipts exceeding $5,000,OO0 to make
satisfactory statements as to capt.
talization, finances and operations,
such corporations to be known as
United States registered" companies.
1t proposes to make lack Of such
registration an indication of some
thing wrong"
The measure proposed includes
these provisions: The commission
may cancel at any time the registra.
