sCUTARI AND ALBANIA.

New York Times: The entra nce of
the Montenegrins into Scutari may
complicate the final settlement of the
Balkan question somewhat, but there
arc reasons why it is not likely to pre-
vent or greatly to defer it. Chief of
these Is the fact that the European
powers have agreed that Albania shall
be erected into an independent state,
and that Scutari shall be included
therein. Another is hat among her
Balkan allies Montenegro can find
none that will give substantial sup
port to her claim to Scutari. Servia
at one time backed hat claim with
arms. but withdrew n will not risk
losing what she can gain with the as
sent Of the powers by opposing their
plans as to Albania.
An Independent Albania is in some
respects an absurdity. 1t is thinly
populated; considerable portions are
almost without populations; its people
are of varied nationalities and reli-
gions: most of them are s~emi-barbar-
GUS mountain tribes, often at war
with each other: its roads are few and
bad. 1t is difficult to conceive of

POULTRY
THE RHODE ISLAND RED.
By Cockspur:

These are lively days for poultry
breeders. The chicks are running
helter-skelter and the Joy they bring
10 the big and the little household is
unsurpassed. All Of us are fond Of
o youngsters. Indeed, the inquir-
les regarding their ailments are so
necessary. Many have had excelleit
matches and there will be those whose
eggs did not produce in anything like
the proportion required for profit. We
should all sit down and consider what
we have done and endeavor to deter
mine what was wrong and in that way
gather experience for our next try.
Thousands Of persons have had
good matches; therefore, there is lit
tie reason for discouragement among
those who have been unsuccessful this
year. Remember that those who were
before successful this year may not

sary.
One Of the causes Of failures is the
endeavor to do too much. The attempt
to handle 100 chicks where there was
room for only twenty-five, or where
there was not the leisure time that
We need, is me-. But the greatest
trouble is in the weddings. Beginners

is easily done by feeding the chick
grain in litter.
Many questions have been asked
about teaching chicks to roost. Some
times they take to roost just as a duck
takes to water. If. however, they do
not go themselves they must be
taught. 1t is better that the chicks
roost when they get to be about ten
weeks of age. Roosts can be put in
the brooder coop and the chicks piac-
Ell on them: only a few need be taught
usually, the others follow quickly.
The roosts keep them from drowning.
and by placing them on roosts it is
easier to keep them clean.
One hears much of fine matches and
the good results Of rearing chicks, but
few care to tell their reasons, or sup
posed reasons. Why they failed. Why
do not those who have failed tell their
experiences? The lessons to be learn
ed from those failures will undoubted-
ly help others. No names need he
