Mating Bun Lcghoins to Produce
Shape and Color. =
(B. E. Craig, Davis City, Iowa, in
Poultry ldeas.)

|
In mating buff breeds, ,as well as
all other varieties of poultry, you
must keep shape constantly In mind,
/ as shape makes the breed and color
the variety. After you have picked
out your very best specimens, you
must then know how to mate them,
or you may go backward instead of
improving your flock. | have known
breeders of several years experience
to depend solely on the score cards
for the mating of their breeders
While it looks reasonable that like
ought to bcget like have seen
this fail. In mating Leghorns. II
YOU want to be among the leading
winners at the prominent shows, you
must have your male well up on legs,
as d short-legged male stands but lit
tie chance Of winning. Next in i'm
portance is his headgear, or comb,
and ear lobes. Have comb to stand
erect, with well defined points and
free from thumb marks, extending
straight back from base Of comb.
For comb to be set on head accord
ing to the new standard, have third
point from front Of comb directly
over the eye. While some breeders
have 5-point comb fad. | much pre-
fer or 6-uoint comb, free from
thumb marks, and set well on head,
as to have a 5-point comb with
thumb marks and rear Topped half
over. The wattles should be medium
lobes are a very important part.
Choose as white an ear lobe as pos
sible, but do not use a male show
ing indications Of the white running
in the face, as this is very hard to
! stamp out after once established.
While red is very Objectionable in
the car iobes of the Leghorn, | much
prefer red in lobes than for white to
run in face. The tail comes next in
Importance in othe Mediterranean
class. In the Leghorn choose bird
with a fully furnished, Widespread
tail. Nothing looks more disagree
able to a Leghorn fancier than to
have nice male with pinched tail
and hardly enough tail coverts to
cover base Of tail. Choose your male
with as low tail as possible, that is,
40 degrees is good breeding shape,
but | much prefer 45-degree shap-
ed tail, fully furnished and we'll
spread, than 40-degree pinched

In all, there were twelve patients
in the building, and every one OF
them was rescued and no serious ef-
feet upon their condition Is antici-
pated from the fire.
| AS the roof OF the handsome build
Ing was falling In, substantial bust
! ness men gathered on the green park
way In front Of the building and
discussed plans to rebuild the hos
pital at once. The building was
made possible four years ago by pub
lie subscriptions from rich and poor
all over Anderson county. Subscrip-
tons will likely come in voluntarily
at once and these, with the $4,000
insurance carried on the building
and equipment, means that Andcr-
son county will soon have another
hospital as good, or better than the
ono bnrncd to-day.
Water Pressure Low.
The fire department did good, CT
fcctivo work. but the water pressure
was poor. Five streams played on
the flames, and this ordinarily
should have been sufficient to check
the flames so that the patients could
be removed in Il com ,ortable way.
The water reaching thc hospital
came through (nnr-inch main, and
this was inadcpuatc. Then. too. one

strong chicks and we may still 20 a
little farther back and say have good
strong breeding birds, that will pro-
duce eggs that will produce chicks
that Will live. Strong vitality is es-
sontiai and should be carefully look
ed after. If you pick your breeding
Dlrds close and try to get only birds
with extra good vitality and health,
you VIII find you will have enough
trouble as 1t Is. 1t Is bad policy to
select birds for the breeding pens
that have had disease or in other
words a "cured bird"
There are four essentials that the
poultry raiser must keep in mind:
Vitality, pure food, sanitation and
proper care or treatment. How dis
couraging 1t Is to hatch out flock
OF chicks that look healthy and good
for the first week or ten days and
then nave them die off day by day
uhtil the entire flock has perished.
IL chlck has strong vitality when
Matched, with little care and care
ful attention the first few weeks Of
it's life you will not have much trou-
bic to raise it.. One strong chick is
worth one hundred weakly ones.
1t is likely YOU can raise some of the
weak ones up until they get nearly
grown or possibly matured, but they
are worthless as breeders or egg pro-
ducers.
hope that every reader of this
paper will allow nothing but good,
strong, healthy birds to stay in their.
breeding pens, and if they have vi
tality and are really vigorous and
healthy 1t will mean success to you.

Questions Asked About Il I'm the
House OF Commons.

London, April 24,--Sharp Interest
In the American Senate's Titanic in
quiry was demonstrated In tho Com
mons this afternoon. Alexander
MacCallum Scott inquired:
Are you aware that those called
before the Senate committee are not
receiving fair and honorable treat
ment? viii you take steps to Sc
cure fair and honorable treatment
for British subjects?"
Francis Dyke Acland, paniamen-
tary under-secretary for foreign af-
fairs, replied: 20
no such complaint has been re-
ceived by us. Surely In this matter
we must trust to the good sense of
the American people, and we do not
desire to Interfere without absolute
necessity"
In answer to previous queries, Mr..
Acland had said
Il ain not aware Of the precise
grounds on which the Enited States
Senate inquiry is being held. } un-
drrstand the object is to determine
the responsibility for the wreck. AS
far as | am aware there never has
been previously a foreign inquiry
into the loss Of British vessel on
the high seas"
In response TO the suggestion from
another member, MIR. Acland said he
did not doubt "that if protection
were desired by the British wit
nrs&os, instructions would be sent to
the ambassador, but we hope the
case may not arise.
William O'Brien closed the discus
sion by suggesting g that many Ameri-
can citizens had lost their lives and
that interest in the disaster was as
great in the United States as 1t IS in

Hatching Chicks that Live.
(FrOm Poultry IdeaS.l

"Hatching chicks that live" Can
you find four other words that mean
any more to the poultry raiser than
these? TO hatch chickens that live
means dollars to every poultry raiser
and it is his desire and ambition to
raise every chick he matches, but
am sorry to say right here is where
most every one falls down. 1t is a
constant fight from tho time the
chick Is hatched until it is developed
Into grown bird to keep him in a
healthy state or condition.
TO hatch chicks that live you must
first have eggs that will produce

BANK EXAMINER CASE della IED

test the title Of the Office OF State
Bank Examiner between B. J.
Rhamc, removed from Office by Gov
ernor Blcasc, and II. w. Frasier, ap-
pointed i'm his place, was called in
the Supreme Court to-day, but was
continued until May 5. Mr.. Frasier
is second cousin Of Associate JUS
tice Y. b. Frasier, who was disuuali-
fled on that account from sitting on
the case. 1t was to allow the an
pointment OF a special Judge to sit
for Judge Fraiscr, and thus fill out
the full bench of five judges, that
the continuance was ordered.
b. l.. Abncy, counsel for Mr.. Fra
sier, suggested that so important a
question should be heard by five
judges that there might be no risk
Of decision by an evenly divided
court.
According to the law, Governor
Blease will name the special Judge
when he is notified Of the disqualfi.
cation by the court.

RcEulic for Slcasr.
(Grecnville PiedmOnt.D

The verdict Of guilty returned by
the jury in the United States District
Court last evening against the Pal
| mers and Lou Belcher is distinct re-
bukc for Governor Blease, who par
doned these people after they had
served short time for their crime.
Asis known, j. b. Palmer Charles
D. Palmer, his son, Lou Becher, his
daughter, and Robert Belcher, his
grandson, were tried In the State
Court at Walhalla for the murder Of
w. B. T.. Corbin, a revenue officer.
All four were convicted. j. b. Pal
| mcr was sentenced to servo six years
| in the penitcntiary, Lou Bclcher eight
years, Charles Palmer seven years
| and Robert Relcher life. ]. B. Pal
| mcrs sentence was suspended be-
cause OF his old age.
| Governor BlcaSc last year commut-
! ed the sentences OF Lon Bclcher and
Charles 3. Palmer from eight and
| seven years respectively to twenty
two months. which time they had
| served. AS soon as this action was
| taken by tho Governor, the Federal
| government took the matter up, be-
| ing unwilling to see those who had a
hand in the Staying Of a Federal Off
cial get off so lightly by reason Of
| The action Of a Governor.
And now these parties have been
| convicted in the Federal Court and
will have to serve their sentences any
way That twelve men Of the State
decided they had mot been punished
sufficiently is rcbuke for Mr.. Blcase.
The question naturally arises: Have
all Of his pardons been granted as
carelesSly as this one? If 1t we're
possible for twelve men to pass upon
each OF the pardons granted by the
Chief Executive how many Of them
would be approved?
AS we see 1t, the action taken by
the Federal government In this case
which was exceedingly unusual, was
rebuke to the Governor and the
verdict OF twelve citizens Of the State
that these people had not been sufn-
ciently punished was an even greater
one.

Packing Eggs for Hatclling.

AS there are a great many anna
teur breeders who do not know how
to pack eggs, we will give a good
and safe way to pack them, and
they can be shipped any distance
without breaking. We have shipped
a good many eggs this way with
great success. Always use a basket,
for having handle, they are care
fully handled by the expressman.
First, line the bottom, and wrap each
egg in a quantity Of paper. Place
them in rows across the bottom,
when you have The bottom filled,
stuff In between each egg excelsior.
Then place an inch OF excelsior on
top, and repeat the operation for the
next story. When you have the bas-
ket filled, place about three inches OF
excelsior on top and press down,
cover the basket over with muslin,
sewing around the sides. Don't for-
get to mark plainly eggs for
Hatching; Handle with Care This
is one Of the most convenient modes
Of packing eggs, and there is no dan
ger Of eggs getting out of place, and
does not cost much. Try this way OF
packing eggs and you will receive
no complaints and your customers
will have good success in Matching. /.

In mating buff color to produce

the skill OF the most ardent fancier,

judges as to what is the exact color

fer dark eyen-colored male to a

Smut or pepper, as you might term
1t, Is much preferred to white. The
breast Of the male should correspond
with your female body, and your fe-
male neck color should, as near as
possible, correspond with the males
neck, back and saddle feathers, and
If you mate your matings in this
manner you can depend on even
colored chicks. While some breed
ers claim the male stamps color and
the female shape, I depend on equal
chances from both, and while the
male is half the flock, I pay more
attention to the male and then
choose females to match. A female
with good long back and we'll
spread tail is great asset to any
breeders yard. have found that
you can make greater improvements
by using double mating. In most
all varieties use your coarser females
that stand well up on legs, with
combs that stand as near erect as
possible, to mate for your chick mat
ing, and use your finer or frst-class
exhibition females for yonr pullet
mating, and you will see great i'm
proyement.

FORTUNE NOT A MYTH.
Member of the Wertz Family Still hal
Hope.

The following clipping j. from the
Hanover Record OF June 25th
That the Wertz family fortune OF
some two hundred millions discredited
throughout the country by the news
papers during the past few weeks
seems to have some existence after
all Local people have been taking
much interest in the story and its
developments because Of descendants
of Peter Wirtz who live in Hanover
and vicinity.
March 27, a cablegram was sent
from special newspaper correspon-
dent, Berlin, Germany, to the Asso-
ciated Press of the United States
stating that the Wertz heirs were
about to start suit for the recovery
of dormant inheritance of 225, 000,-
600 left by Field Marshall Paul Writ.
The story that the Wertz fortune
was a myth came from one NJ. A.
Wertz, a government employe resid-
ing in Washington, who, according
to the, president of the WertZ Family
Association bears a grudge against
the active spirits in the effort to re
gain the inheritance. Estelle Ryan
Snyder, the president, has given for
publication long letter on the mat
ter, which says, among other things !:
The Wertz Family Association
desires to state that the reports now
being circulated by one M. A. Wertz,
of Washington, D. G., that the Wertz
inheritance IL q myth and fabrica-
ton, and the attempted recovery Of
same originated by an INSCRIPTIONS
lawyer, who j. trying to swindle the
descendants, is a malicious false
hood"
