Roughage for Hens.

are best fed By suspending them by

Clover Good for Poultry.
Steaming clover hay increases its
palatAbihty greatly. If free from long
fiber, clover is an excellent feed to mix
with bran, table scraps, or with reg
ular mash. A convenient way OF hand

bed down the house with straw in the
fall and then to add foFkful Of clover
or alfalfa hay every day until the lit

should then be cleaned. the straw re-

TROOPS RUSH SOUTH.
U. S. Army 10 Look After Foreign
Affairs In Mexico.
England and Germany Want Their In
terests in Mexico Protected
Taft Takes Action.

Washington, March 8.-The most
extensive movement of troops and war
vessels ever executed in this country
in time of peace is now under way by
order of the president, the objective
being the country north Of the Mex
lean boundary and the waters of the
two oceans at either end of it.
Twenty thousand soldiers - more
than one-fourth of the army of the
United States-of all arms of the
service are moving toward the Mex
ican border. Four armored cruisers
comprising the fifth division of the
Atlantic fleet, have been ordered from
Northern waters to the naval station at
Guantanamo, Cuba. Most of the Pa
cific fleet is, or shortly will be, on it's
way to assemble at San Pedro and San
Diego, CAL, and 1000 marines are pre-
pairing to make the Guantanamo sta
tion their temporary headquarters.
1t was officially announced at the
White House and at the War and Navy
departments that the purpose Of this
great mobilization, unprecedented save
in war times, is the training of officers
and men under service conditions and
practice in cooperation between the
land and naval forces. Other pains
were taken by all officially concerned
in the matter to give this color to the
sudden activities; but these state
ments were accepted with increasing

stepped in mystery; the entire morn
ing was given over to conference with
officers of the War and Navy depart
ments.
This thick atmosphere of mystery,
and the efforts to minimize the i'm
portance of the business, lent a sig
nificance to the fact that Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff Of
the army, in an effort to elude inter-
viewers, slipped out Of one of the rear
windows Of the presidents Office and
beat retreat through the secluded
portions Of the White House grounds
to rear entrance of the War depart
ment.
The real significance Of this activity,
which has been confined apparently to
the last 48 hours or less, is thought
to relate very directly to conditions in
Mexico, and to the growing belief
that the situation there is by no means
as satisfactory as the Mexican govern
ment would have it believed. There
are persistent reports that the physi-
cal condition of President Diaz has
lately become such as to alarm his ad-
herents and that momentous develop
ments are to be prepared for.
One report current here today was
that the Pearson syndicate, heavily
in enterprises in Northern
Mexico, had appealed to the British
government for adequate protection of
its own and other foreign interests in
for the chaotic conditions
that would almost certainly follow any
serious loss Of prestige, to say nothing
of the collapse of the Diaz govern
ment

ARMY DEFEATS ITSELF.
internal Dissention Breaks Up So
eialist Colony.

Mexicali, March 9.-Without the
firing Of hostile gun, the army of
liberation, which was to have estab-
lished a socialistic republic in Lower
California, with this little hamlet of
adobe houses as the capital, has been
beaten. 1t encompassed its own de-
feat. When the Federals come, in all
probability, they will find nobody to
fight. Dissension, rampant for more
than = week, reached the crisis today.
In the face Of the enemy, which is ex-
pected to strike blow any hour, a
handful Of insurrectos manning the rife
pits again voted lack of confidence
in the leaders, Leyva and Berthold.
John K. Turner, the writer, said to be
close to the revolutionary junta in Los
Angeles, declared them both outlaws
and asserted the junta would with
draw all support if they did not obey
the mandate of the men and step
down. In spite of this, Leyva and
Berthold remain defiant, standing pat
on the coup they worked three days
ago when they regained power from
Captain Stanley.

DlAz is REAssuRED.
Taft Explains-He Has Nothing to
Fear From Maneuvers.


Mexico City, March 0. Setting at
rest all rumors that the United States
is preparing for intervention in Mex
leo, President Taft today sent to Pres
ident Diaz q telegram in which he
says the military maneuvers being con-
Quoted along the frontier in Texas
have no significance which should
cause concern to Mexico.
The message was transmitted to the
department of foreign relations by
Fred M. Deering, charge d'afPaires Of
the American embassy. Following is
the text:
Il have the honor to advise your ex-
cellency that | am in receipt of in
structions from my government direct
ing me to inform his excellency, Pres
ident Diaz, through the medium Of
your excellency, that the president of
the United States wishes to express
the hope that no misapprehensions will
result from unfounded and sensational
conjectures as to the mill
tary maneuvers about to take place in
Texas and elsewhere, and to give
President Diaz assurance that the
have no Significance that
should cause concern to the friendly
Of the United States to the
South"
A calm and dispassionate view of
the mobilization appears to have been
taken here by the Mexicans. No ex-
citement followed the appearance of
the news. Dailies in Spanish as well
as the American morning newspapers
give much space to the details of the
In some quarters, nevertheless, the
explanation given out at the White
House as to the significance of Presi-
1ent Taft's order was viewed with
,kepticism. This was particularly
true as relating to American residents
in the city, many of whom profess to
see in it the first step in move to-
ward Intervention.

REBELS AIMED AT is BELIEF.
lnsurrecto Junta Holds Diaz and "ln-
terosts" Asked for Troops.

teFoStS asked Tor troops.
Ions Ageles, March 9.-That the
massing of United States troops along
the Mexican border is a spectacular
attempt at intimidating the revolu-
tionists, is the belief of the officials of
the revolutionary junta here. Presi-
dent Ricardo Magon, of the junta,
made the following statement today:
"The very fact that no complaint
has come from Diaz or his cabinet
concerning a movement that could
easily be construed as hostile action
is evidence to US that the United
States and Diaz are in accord and that
the rushing of American troops to the
border follows an appeal to this gov
ernment by Diaz and the moneyed in
terests of Mexico to lend them as
much material support as possible.
1--WE do not believe the United
States will make the mistake of act
ually sending troops across the border,
but will attempt by this show of force
to frighten the revolutionists into
abandoning active operations, which
they never will do.

OH FOR NAVY FUEL.
Admiral Conc Says 1t Will Soon Dis
place Coal Entirely.

P'ONO SO0t
Los Angeles, March 9.-Questions
of vital Importance to the United
States navy and the country and par
ticularly to the Pacific Coast were
discussed before the sixth annual con-
vention of the Navy league of the
United States, in session in this city
today, by Rear Admiral Hutch l. Cone,
U. S. NJ, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering.
The maintenance of fleet on the
Pacific Coast, and the all-important
question of fuel and of the use of
crude oil for that purpose were the
principal topics touched upon by Ad-
miral Cone. In the latter connection
he said
"We are at present designing ships
which will be particularly effective in
the Pacific because of our large supply
of fuel oil on the West coast. So far
as can be seen at the present time, the
United States navy of the future will
consume oil instead of coal. In fact
we have already in commission ten
destroyers which burn nothing but oil.
Battleships being designed for the
next years program are to be vessels
that burn oil only"

Intervention il Predicted.

Mexico City, March 9. - The an
nouncement that American troops
would be concentrated on the Mexican
frontier created no noticeable excite
ment among Mexicans today. The
newspapers printed the news fully,
but without extended editorial COM
ment. The official explanation at
Washington that only ordinary maneu-
vers are contemplated is accepted by
prominent Mexicans as sufficient, but
the public is skeptical and the move
is regarded by some as the first move
of American Intervention.

mined upon his plans for instituting
libel suits against his detractors, but
it is understood he will open proceed

chot, into which he will introduce
much evidence that has not yet come
to the attention of the public.
He will also institute suit against
Golfers Weekly, and possibly may
extend his suits to others later on.
He will first go to Seattle, however,
and probably will perfect his arrange
ments there. He will leave Washing

and takes his oath of Office.
1t is understood in Washington that
the selection Of Mr.. Fisher for Secre-
tary Of the interior was brought about
largely by Private Secretary Norton,
who Is to retire from the White House
in few years. Norton has been
quietly working for some time to
bring about the selection of conserv-
ationist for secretary Of the interior
and last summer at Beverly inspired
the story that Ballinger was to retire
on September Is.
That story was given the Associated
Press and other press associations on
the assumption that Ballinger would
regard it as hint, but, when Ballin-
ger saw President Taft he discovered
that Norton's advice was purely gra-
tuitous and did not reflect the wishes
