some 80 Frenchmen where they Turk

No one In the Virginia camp doubt
ed that there was war already or
dreamed OF awaiting the action OF
diplomats and cabinets over the sea.
The French had driven an English
garrison from the forks OF the Ohio
with threats OF force, which would
certainly have been executed had
there been need. These men hidden In
the thickets at Great Meadows would
have 1t. when the fight was over,
that they had come as messengers
merely to bear peaceful summons;
but did 1t need 80 odd armed men to
bear message?
Why had they lurked for 1--WE days

to Fort Duquesne to obtain support
for their diplomacy? Washington
might regret that young M. Jumon-
Vile, their commander, had lost his
life In the encounter, but he had
no doubt he had done right to order
his men to fire when he saw the
French spring for their arms at the
FIRST surprise.
Now. at any rate. war was unques-
tionably begun. That sudden volley
fired In the wet woods at the heart OF
the lonely Alleghanies had set the
final struggle ablaze. 1t was now eth

could no longer be both. Jumonville,

that only "as near as possible without
nselessly exposing the lives OF the
kings subjects" and poured his Are

For nine hours the unequal fight
dragged on. the French and their In

But with Washington it was diff
ferent matter.
There was that in his proud eyes
and gentleman's bearing that marked
him man to be made friends with

proved, without pretense or bravado,
but an i'll man to scorn, as he went
his way among them, 1.-THE and alert,

strong gait as of a backwoodsman
and that naughty carriage as of
man born to have his will He won
their liking, and even their admira-

and purrase.
General Braddock, knowing he de-
sired to make the campaign If he
might do so without sacrifice of self
respect. promptly invited him to go as
member of his staff. where there
could be no question of rank, asking
him, besides, to name any young gen.
tlemen Of his acquaintance he chose
for several vacant ensigncies in the

Just then an things went either by
favor or by accident, had made
sorry blunder In the choice of a
commander.
Major General Edward Braddock,
whom they had commissioned to take
the two regiments out and act as com
mander-ln-chief in America. was a
brave man, veteran soldier, bred in
a thorough school OF action. man
quick with energy and indomitable
In resolution; but every quality he
had untitled him TO learn. Self-confi-
dent, brutal. headstrong. "a very Iro-
quois in disposition" he would take
neither check nor suggestion. But en-
ergy, resolution, good soldiers and
proper equipment might OF them
selves suffice to do much in the crisis
that had come, whether wisdom held
the reins or not; and 1t gave the Old
Dominion a thrill of quickened hope
and purpose to see Keppel's trans
ports in the Potomac and Braddock's
redcoats ashore at Alexandria.

of them, for the raw folk of the col

Philippine Scouts Fight Rinderpest.
The veterinary division of the

waging an energetic campaign against
rinderpest. a disease which in for
mer years destroyed annually upward
Of half a million cattle and carabaos

has been reduced to two or three

A unique feature of this campaign
is the extensive use made of the

infected cattle in regions where the
disease has been stamped out. Last

The greatest profit from farm poul.

eggs. At the present time, large,
clean, fresh. white eggs are selling for
from so to 60 cents per dozen, whole
sale, in New York City.
Early.hatched pullets are the best
source OF winter eggs. Old fowls or
those in bad condition. even with the
best possible care and food, generally
refuse to lay in the winter
It takes from three.fourths to four
ffths as much food to winter flock
Of unproductiye fowls as it does to
keep them In full laying condition. The
extra fourth or fifth Of the feed that
the fowls can be made to consume pro-
duces practically all the profit. Feed
literally.
The mistake is often made OF feeding
too heavily during the first week after
the pullets have been installed in their
winter quarters. 1t is better to keep
them hungry for a few days and make
any change in their feeding gradual.
