OLD HENS ARE POOR LAYERS
Experiments at Maryland Station
Shows That Aged Birds Are
Maintained at Serious Loss.

At the Maryland station, in study
of the egg production Of sixty white
Leghorn hens in three successive
years, the average number of eggs
per bird was 171.3 the first year;
1871 the second year and 1911 the
third year.
The estimated cost Of the mainte-
nance of the flock was $50 for each
year; the profit per hen was $2.07
che first year, $1.61 the second year
and 80 cents the third year. ALI OF
the five hens which produced 200
eggs and over laid their first egg in
November, whereas of the fowls pro-
ducing 100 and under only 81 per
cent. laid their first egg In Noveni-
Der; "A per cent. laid their first
egg in January, and 10 per cent. laid
their first egg in February.
One fowl made the best record in
the third year, 13 in the second year,
and the remainder during the first
year. The percentage of shrinkage
proves conclusively that birds Of this
age are being maintained at a serious
financial loss.

The avidity with which birds eat
boiled potatoes proves their value as

Unfertilized eggs keep best, and
salt Is the best material to pack
them In.
A few nails thrown into the drink

they need.
Too often when stock is fed for a
certain market it is sold at dis
advantage.
With good care, good stock looks
better, does better and pays better
than scrubs.
Moulting season is the time your
stock requires more care than at any
other time of year.
An underfed hen means a hen that
does not lay much. Eggs can't be

Laying hens drink q very large

Fruit-growing and poultry-raising go
well together. Anyone following
either will do well to consider the
other.
The sooner a hen starts new litter
of eggs after she lays out one litter,
the more profitable q hen she is.
Watch this.

TO ADJOURN AUGUST II.

Washington, Aug. s.-Adjourn-
ment of Congress by August II was
definitely fixed by leaders on both
sides today following the action Of
the Senate late last night in sur
mounting zone of the obstacles that
had heretofore been regarded as like
ly to prolong the session-the ques-
tion of free tolls for American ships
passing through the Panama Canal.
Voting "A to II, the Senate refused
to strike out of the Panama bill the
provision exempting American ves-
sells from the canal charges. 1t was
the belief of leaders today that the
consideration of the bill might he
completed today. The only stumb-
ling block now is the Senate amEnd-
ment to the House bill permitting
railroad owned vessels use Of tfe
waterway. The House prohibited
passage of such vessels. Pacific
coast senators, fighting against the
trans-continental railroads and their
vessels, claimed that the House pro-
vision would prevail.
The vote last night ignores Great
Britain's protest to the plan Of main
tenance of the canal, and If the pro-
hibition against railroad-owned ships
is inserted, the Senate will be in the
position of deliberately disregardins
all Of England's representations.
That the whole question will be
brought to the Hague Tribunal for
adjudication was the general belief
today.

GAMBLING 7
MURDER SCANDAL
John D. Rockefeller, Jr,
Takes Hand in Securing
Evidence
FOR. SOCIAL REFORM
Alleged White Slave Traffic-More
Evidence in the Murder of Herman
RoSenthal.

New York, Aug. S.-The tender
loin got real shock when it became
known today that one of the chief
aides to District Attorney Whitman
in his campaign to obtain evidence
of police graft and the existence OF
the System" is John D. Rockefeller,
ir., social settlement worker and Sun
day school teacher, who, backed by
his father, the Standard Oil King,
operated pretended disorderly
house in the heart Of the white light
district to get evidence against the
police department and the white slave
traffic.
The Rockefeller experiment was
begun in the interest of social reform
and its evidence was not submitted
to the district attorney until the trial
of the Rosenthal murder pointed to
the police department.
It is asserted that the Rockefeller
detectives obtained evidence that or
dinary disorderly houses pay 5000 a
month to the System" more preten-
tious houses pay more and there is a
sliding scale for houses of lesser pros
perity.
The white slave traffic, it was de-
clared, is a regular trade in New
York, girls from the country, andim-
migrant girls from the steamship
steerage being taken to the resorts
by their masters and offered at auc-
ton like black slaves in Africa.
1t was learned today that District
Attorney Whitman had found new
witness who would swear that Jack
Sullivan, friend of Becker, rode away
in the Shapiro murder car following
the murder of Rosenthal and had a
conference with the accused lieuten-
ant.
Twenty witnesses were waiting
when the Rosenthal grand jury re-
and in the office of Dokcmfwyeptao
convened today after weeks recess
and in the office of District Attorney
Whitman it was said that further in
dictments were expected in connec-
ton with the gambling-graft murder
scandal
