MANIAC GUIDES SHIP TO RUIN
When Captain Leaves Bark Insane
Man Takes Command and
Sails Away.

Philadelphia-Som in the At
lantic ocean, mastered by a maniac
and manned by frightened crew, the
Norwegian bark Ravensport is rushing
to destruction, according to a story
told here by Captain Jansen Of the
steamship Admiral Schley. which ar
rived from Jamaica.
The Ravensport was bound from
Dunkirk, Scotland, to gulf port. On
the voyage a giant Swede sailor be-
came insane and cut and slashed the
crew at will. He was captured and
confined after two of the crew had
been seriously injured. Captain Duus,
master of the ship, put off In a small
boat for Buff bay to get medical aid.
Just as the yawl reached shore the
maniac broke loose and commanded
the crew to raise anchor. When they
we're unable to do so he ordered the
chain broken. When Captain Duus
saw his ship sailing away he started
in pursuit in the small boat. A chase
of ten miles wore out the men who
were rowing and they were forced to
turn back. Captain Duus believes that
the maniac is speeding the ship to
destruction on the shores of Cuba.
The Ravensport Is a steel bark of
1,642 gross tons and Is owned by
Grestan & Norlofean Of Arendal, Nor
way.

PROFIT DEPENDENT ON CARE
Variety Has Very Little to Do With
Possible Returns Per Fowl-Must
Study Small Details.

The profit that is possible per fowl
is mainly dependent upon the care
taker, writes A. G. Symonds In the
Fruit Grower. II is up to him to so
care for the fowls IN his charge as to
reap the greatest reward. He must
apply his intelligence to study the de.
tails that are so essential In egg pro-
duction. The hen is a machine. nicely
built and properly adjusted, and the
caretaker must be familiar with this
egg machine in order to secure the
greatest profit per fowl.
The variety kept has very little to
do with the possible profit per fowl.
A flock of Plymouth Rocks may be
made to yield greater returns than a
flock of Leghorns per capita. True 1t
is that some varieties are better egg
producers than others, but 1t Is also
true that some varieties are better
meat producers than others. No one
variety has a monopoly on advan-
tages or profit-paying qualities. There
is no variety without some redeem
ing features that can be 80 managed
by the skillful poultry keeper as to
bring good returns.
The basis of profit does not rely
upon what branch of poultry keeping
one follows. There are chances in
every line, eggs, meat and fancy. The
ordinary profit secured in any one of
these branches can be doubled, or
trebled by the skill and intelligence
of the caretaker

ROAD
BUILDING
ROADS PAY FOR THEMSELVES
Department Of Agriculture Collects
Dsta Showing Land Values In
crease With improvements.

The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic well
fare of a community is shown In sew
eral concrete Illustrations gathered by
the United States department Of agri-
culture. The department has just is
sued statement on the subject,
based upon a mass of information
gathered by the Office of public roads,
which is making a special study of the
economic effect of road Improvement
In the country. According to data
gathered, where good roads replace
bad ones, the values of farm lands
bordering on the roads increase to
such an extent that the cost OF road
improvement is equalized, If not ex-
ceeded. The geenral land values, as
well as farm values, show marked ad-
vances, following the improvement of
roads.
Among the illustrations cited by the
department are the following:
In Lee county. Virginia, farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur
and Jonesville, which he offered to
sell for $1,S00. In 1908 this road was
improved, and although the farmer
fought the Improvement, he has since
refused $4,000 for his farm. Along
was supposed to have been sold for
$4,000. The purchaser refused the
contract, however, and the owner
threatened to sue him. After the
road Improvement, and without any
improvement upon the land. the same
farm was sold to the original pur-
chaser for $4,000.
In Jackson county, Alabama, the
people voted a bond issue Of $250,000
for road Improvement and improved
"a per cent. of the roads. The GEN.
sus Of 1900 gives the value of all farm
acre. The selling value at that time
was from $6 to $15 per acre. The CEN
sus of 1910 places the value Of all
farm lands In Jackson county at 1878
per acre, and the selling price Is now
SIS to $25 per acre. Actual figures Of
increased value following road i'm
provement are shown.
AS the roads In no way affect soil
fertility or quality of the farm, ad
vances are due essentially to the de-
crease In the cost Of hauling produce
to market or shipping points. Farms
are now regarded as plants for the
business Of farming. and any reduc-
ton in their profits through unneces-
sarily heavy costs for hauling on bad
roads naturally reduces their capitaliz-
alton into values. With reduced costs
for hauling profits are increased, with
the result that the farm plant shows
satisfactory earnings on a higher cap
ital value.
The automobile, also, has begun to
be an important factor In increasing
rural values where good roads are in
troduced.
Immigration is particularly marked
where road conditions are favorable;
in fact, the figures Of the department
seem to indicate that good roads indi-
rectly increase the demand for rural
property; and the price of farm land,
like that of any commodity. is ruled
by the relation between demand and
supply.

FOX SKELETON IN TREE FORK
Some Pennsylvania NaturaIists Guess
IL leaped There to Get Fowl
and Missed.

Pittsburgh.-Local naturalists are
guessing how the skeleton of fox
got In the forks of tree on the Clar-
ion river, near Cooksburg. The skele-
ton was discovered by Charles Gar
land. q member Of the Edgewood
troop, Boy Scouts, In the course of a
nature study ramble with his COM
rades.
The Scouts, during the weeks spent
in the woods and fields, took every
opportunity to study the ways Of birds
and animals, the characteristics of
tree and plant Life. They found bones
Of animals occasionally which they
classified, but the fox skeleton was
the prize naturalistic discovery of the
amateur research party. The skele-
ton was that of fox full grown and
perfectly formed.
Foxes, as the Scout naturalists had
often read, burrow holes in the ground
for their homes. Rarely are they
known to leap into a tree except per-
haps as a last resort when hunted by
dogs. AS the boys sat around the
campfire evenings they spun theories
as to the possible fate of reynard. A
few thought the fox had jumped into
the tree to elude pursuers, had become
caught in the forks of the tree and
had starved to death. Others sur
missed the animal, sick or wounded,
had climbed the tree and had chosen
the tree forks as its deathbed.
Still others advanced the explana-
barnyards had jumped into the tree to
catch a stray fowl alighting on it's
branches and had slipped into the
forks, which proved a trap from which
there was no escape.

Auto and Good Roads.

The auto has come to stay and there
is no use fighting against 1t or trying
to penalize the owners for destroying
country roads. There is no doubt that
an auto will wear out dirt road
quicker than team carrying 5000
pounds, and while the latter are pc
nalized in some states, all efforts to
give the same medicine to the owners
of autos have failed. The only remedy
is to build roads that will stand the
wear and tear of heavy wagons, autos
and anything else and then take the
penalty off everything
