STERN INDICTMENT OF, EAGLE

Prof. Collett of indianapolis.
the great Hoosier naturalist says
there is a great deal of poetic
humbug about the eagle and that
there isn't anything noble or in
spring about him. He is not
only the biggest thief of all
feathered thieves but he is the
cruelist.
His special delight seems to be
to attack and torture the most
innocent of creatures. He will
capture a lamb. tear out the eyes
Of the bleating little thing and
watch the agonized movements of
his victim with unmistakable gloat-
ing.
When the lamb gets so weak
that it can't exhibit agony any
longer the eagle will catch another
in the flock and subject It to the
same treatment. One eagle has
bean known to mutilate as many as
ten la nbs in a AJck in this way.

cries and fierce Tapping of his
wings. The biggest eagle that
flies will not attack any animal or
thing capalle of showing resistance.
1t is all bosh about the eagle
disdaining to dine on anything it
hasn't itself vanquished and killed,
declares Prof. Collet. The bald
eagle will settle down on and
mako meal off as vile carton as
will any buzzard that ever scented
a dead horse on the plains.

WALL STREET WANTS
SILVER STANDARD

1t is a curious condition that
now prevails. in Wall street and
which those who followed the
banner Of Bryan in the memorable
1896 are watching with keen
interest and complacent satisfac-
tion.
There is movement there,
which is gaining force all the
time, for q substitution of silver
for the gold standard. II has pro.
crossed so far that articles in
favor of it are printed in the Wall
Street Journal. One correspondent
whose letter is printed on the first
page of that paper declares that:
"The hood-tide of gold has only
begun to sweep over the world.
1t must go on and wages must
advance under it. 1t is the gold
output which is at the bottom of
the trouble in the labor world on
both sides of the ocean. Minimum
wage in England and Wales is
about $1.25 per day and in some
districts SITS. Wages in England
are rather better for the working
man today than they are in the
United States. Germany and Eng
land have felt the flood-tide sooner
than the United States"
This the writer declares that
the Rand district is good for $780,
100000, of gold every year for
fifty and in ten years the Rand and
other South African districts will
be producing $40O. 900, 900, to say
nothing of Canada. Alaska, the
United States, Mexico, Peru, Chill,
Brazil and Columbia. He estimates
the production of new gold in a
few. years at 81 zoe, OOO,O 900 a year,
and then asks if 1.-THE financial
interets of the world will COM
bine to substitute the silver stand
ard for the gold standard?"
Now as stability of prices
depends upon the quantity of
money in circulation, it would
seem to be much easier way to
courtail coinage thar TO undertake
to change standards again. 1t
was often said in the campaign of
1896 that if gold, became very
plentiful, Wall street would be
calling out for the silver standard,
and the prediction has come true.

ALFALFA ONE OF THE
BEST GREEN FEEDS
FOR POULTRY FLOCKS

Alfalfa Is one Of the best plants TO fur
nsh green food for chickens but ordi-
nary 1t soon kills out II over pastured
Alfalfa crowns that have been cut of
and plouEhed under and that have taken
root again are much harder to kill out,
as many have found by repeatedly grub
bling out the same stool that has taken
root, the second time Such crowns seem
to put out shoots from each piece OF
root that is left in the ground IL the
soil Is in favorable condition
Those who desire to establish alfalfa
in their poultry yards can succeed in this
way by ploughing or spadinR under alfalfa
crowns that have been freshly ploughed
out from some field nearby. Early In the
spring is the best time, while the crowns
are still dormant.
The crowns should be covered from four
10 six inches deep and the soil wet down
and kept moist and the chickens kept on
until the crowns have become established
which viii be much sooner than alfalfa
from seed and will stand much harder
