His Alleged lll-Treatment.

posed Man Little Disturbed.

Lancaster, Mass, July 4--Secretary
of the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh,
in a statement given out here. to-
day. declared that the resignation of
A. Plat Andrew, assistant secretary
of the treasury, was not submitted
until it had been repeatedly request
ed by both MaeVeagh and President
Taft. The secretary said that Mr..
Andrew pleaded to be retained in the
service and brought every possible in
fiuenee To bear to have the request
for his resignation withdrawn.
Secretary MacVeagh. who is a Wis
itor at the home of Bayard Thayer
in this town, put in a busy day, to-
day. In addition to witnessing an
historical pageant depicting scenes in
Lancaster's history, he received a
great quantity of telegraph and tele-
phone messages from friends and of
fetal acquaintance expressing conf
dence in his administration of the de-
partment and he prepared a lengthy
statement of his side of the contro-
versy preeipitated by Mr. Andrew s
letters of resignation.
The statement of the secretary fol-
lows:
4 regret that it seems necessary
to refer to the letters published by
Mr.. A. Piatt Andrew and addressed
to the President and to me. The
virulence of the attack has probably
limited its effect; but apart from
the attack upon me- he strangely

men of the treasury department, to
whom / attribute a large measure of
the success of the department work
and seems to deny that anything has
been accomplished either by them or
anybody else. | am obliged, there
fore, to restore Mr.. Andrews resig-
nation to its proper light. Mr.. An
drew says he resigned because of the
conditions in the treasury depart

facts is probably the simplest way to

ABOUT CHICKENS
lBy H. H. SimpsOn.)

tBy H. H. SlmpSOnD
 As inquiries are continually being received seeking information on the feed and care of little chicks. few suggestions at this time may be of some benefit. I offer here the follow ing instructions, more as a set of rules than as a general discussion, because: first, they may be tackled up in some convenient place and referred to each day until one is familiar with them, and hence they make very good working plan; second. by constantly referring to rules the importance of the minor things in chick raising will be more appreciated.
 1. Start the brooder day or so before the incubator matches. so as to regulate and thoroughly warm all parts.
 2. Remove the chicks from the incubator when they are about l2 to A hours old, or when dry and sprightly Put them in aboX contain ing some fine chaff. and cover with a cloth until they are about 36 hours old.
 g. Kill all the crippled chicks of those that are so weak that you be- lieve they will not live. The growing period is so short that it is not worth while to attempt to raise them.
 A. Put all the healthy chicks in the brooder when they are about 36 hours old. Do not put too many in the brooder so as to crowd them. Us- ually brooder which is rated to hold 100 chicks will give much better re- suits with about 60.
 D. After they have been in the brooder a little while to get accus- toned to it. give them their first feed. This may be done by putting it on a paper in the front part of the brooder.
 G. The first feed should consist of either the yolks of hard boiled eggs. or old dry bread soaked in milk. and allowed tc drain before feeding. The infertile eggs or those that had weak germs. and which were taken from the machine during the first half of incubation mar be used.
 '. Do not feed much at first, but week This would bring the feeds about as follOWS: 6 A. M., A NJ. F NJ, P. M.. 6 P. M.
 &. After the second day ground grain or rolled oats may be gradually substituted for eggs and soaked bread A mixture similar to the fol- lowing may be used: ground wheat ? parts, ground corn part. ground oats or beans l part. beef scraps Ii to F part.
 9. Keep clean fresh water before shem at all times.
 10. Generally speaking the tempe
