by Husband the Problem.

Mrs. Emile Eliesath. formerly Of Ger
many, recently of Albany and now OF
Ellis Island. is causing the wiseacres OF
the various boards OF special inquiry at
the island a deal Of thinking. Her case
has several conflicting conditions con-
nected with 81 that were not contem-
plated when the immigration law was
made.
Mrs. Eliesath. accompanied by her
husband and an infant. arrived here
from Bremen some four years ago. They
went TO Albany. where the father found
born TO the mother. After this she
went back to the fatherland, taking the
two children.
After eight months absence she re-
turned. arriving here several days ago
on the steamship Rhein, but when word
was sent to No. Hurlburt street, her old
address in Albany, word came back. 1t
is alleged that Eliesath considered him.
self bachelor. Thereby arose the COM
plications
If the husband is unwilling TO recog-
nize his wife, has she not the right to
establish her rights as such in the
United States courts2 If the husband Is
not willing to provide for his wife should
not she be deported? These and other
questions the immigration men are ask
ing themselves. and the problem may
be passed on 10 Washington.

FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Small Pens Give as Great
Gains as Lattlced Coops.

The Maine experiment station in
a series of experiments in feeding
cockerels for market has demonstrat-
ed thas as great gains have been OBJ
tained as cheaply. counting labor,
cost of feed, ETC., by feeding in small
pens as where birds are fed in lat.
ticed coops holding but four to six
birds The pens had a roosting coop
connected with them. Four weeks
was found to be the extreme limit OF
profitable feeding, either in coops or
fiocks. The birds should be under
four months of age to give the great
est profit for feed consumed. The
sooner they are fattened after eight
weeks of age. the greater the gain
per pound of food consumed. The
meat of a pen-fed chick is quite diff
ferent from that of corn-fed chick
on free range The former is soft
fieshed and evenly fatted. while the
latter is tough-muscled. strlngy, with
more abdominal fat, and with but
little fat distributed throughout the
flesh of the body. Milk-fed chickens
are superior to any other kind The
dairy farmer is particularly fitted for
producing this class of chicken flesh
Eight pounds of skim milk we're used
with each pound of grain; this was
considered good proportion.
