MISS REAL POULTRY PROFIT.
Unskilled Handling of it, and Eggs
Loses S45.00O,00O a Year.

Topeka, Kas., May 27.-Unskilled
handling of poultry and eggs costs
he people of the United States $40,
100000 annually, is the conclusion OF
he state board of health, after siA
months investigation, in which expel :
produce men from the department of
agriculture took part.
The price of eggs is higher thal
ever, says the report, and competition
is keen, but the producer gains moth,
ing, not because there is a combina-
ton to keep the original price to tn.
wholesaler down, but because of tho
manner in which eggs and poultry are
handled.
Because of the large number Of
farmers who are careless in market
ing their eggs, the careful farmer is
forced to accept the same price as l.:
laid his less industrious neighbor. l.
Kansas alone this loss is estibated at
more than $1,00OO0O a year. The loss
in shipment and packing eggs coul.,
be saved the farmers, asserts the re-
port, if little care were exercised.

UNHAPPY CUBA.

The little island Republic of Cuba
seefs destined to pass through the
throes of another rebellion, or revolu-
ton, this time with the likelihood Of
its being made more sanguinary
through its partaking of the nature Of
a race uprising, an armed instruction
of the negroes, eager to seize the gov
eminent and control the spoils Of
office.
Already there is ample evidence that
the United States government. does not
intend to sit supinely while property
is destroyed and lives imperilled or
taken by the horde of island blacks
whose only thought is that of spoils
Battleships are within easy distance
of the various ports of the island and
notice has been in effect served on the
instructors and the government Of
Cuba that this country will tolerate no
such conditions as exist in Mexico and
all too frequently, disgrace the Central
American states.
Fortunately this country has more
right To intervene in Cuba than in
Mexico 1t is the expressed policy Of
this government to protect Cuba FROM
foreign aggressions and in returns It
maintains the right to protect Cuba
from itself.
What tne outcome Of an armed in
reference, or intervention, at this time
will be no one can say, but in view or
the intimation given the Cubans some
time ago that if the United States flag
went up in Cuba again it would never
come down the outlook seems promis-
ing for the absorption of the island in
to the domain of this country.
And, thus, by degrees, the United
States bevOmes more and more a
world power" expanding its terri
tories, taking under its flag a hetero-
2enous mass of peoples of various COL
ors, customs and faiths. Whether in
Ike end this will conduce to the well
fare of the people of the continental
United States is, to say the least,
doubtful. The country has serious
enough problems on its hands at home
without taking on the new ones thai
will inevitably come from the annexa-
ton of Cuba

SCARECROWS FOR COYOTES.
Utah Uses Them to Protect Fish In
Shallow Streams.

Salt Lake City. Utah, May III
Along the banks of certain shallow
streams in this state are to be seen
figures that are likely to frighten fan
derers who fear desperadoes. They
are harmless, however, for all their
hostile desperadoes. Though far
from cultivated fields, they are mere
ly the scarecrows SO long familiar on
farm lands. They are not to brighten
crows, but coyotes which might want
a veal of trout
Reports have come to the state fish
and game commissioner in recent
weeks that many large fish that have
gone up the smaller streams to spawn
have been destroyed by the numerous
coyotes in certain counties. Hunters
and cowboys tell of instances where
they have seen the prairie wolves lay
in wait for trout and leap into shall
low water and catch them. Fisher
men declare that the supply of trout
has been greatly depleted in this way.
Commissioner F. W. Chambers de
cided that the best way to keep of
t coyotes was TO make figures #
men at the accustomed fishing places
and this has been with success. Some
Of his agents who have been along
streams from which complaints fot-
'Aerly came report that the coyotes
have not troubled the fish there.
