SOME GOOD POULTRY DoNTs
Particular Attention Should Be Paid
TO Drinking Fountains and
Character Of Feed.

Don't let the drinking fountain sit
in the sun, for II you do your poultry
will surely get diseased
Don't feed sour and unwholesome
food, because II you do the fowls will
have indigestion and liver trouble.
Don't forget to provide shade for
the poultry. the scorching hot sun
will be sure to make the hens sick.
Don't keep the males in the same
yards with the females. II you have
no separate pen, sell them to the
butcher.
Don't forget to supply grit and oy-
ster shells. The hens need them ~
badly during summer as they do In
the winter.
Don't forget to bury any fowl that
chances to die. Disease Is spread
through a whole flock by allowing q
decaying carcass to lie around.
Don't walt till fall to sell Ill sur.
plus stock. Now 10 the best and
most profitable time.

The blade of the pike was devised

The wooden handles were poles six
feet long. the butt end fitted into d
strap attached to a saddle. and the
pike was used in repelling attacks.
The specimen was presented by Leroy
Walter McRae of Calvert, who was a
member of the Mobile dragons and
later first lieutenant in the Fifty -sixth
regiment of Alabama cavalry.
The pike was made by w. A. Alex

company which used the pixies was
sometimes called the Mobile Pikers.

BIC VICTORY FOR
LOVERS OF BIRDS
Democratic Caucus In Senate
Restores Protection.

Observation-Disclosures of the Demo-
cratic caucus in the United States SEN
ate, in voting to withdraw the amend.
ment previously adopted to the bird
protecting clause Of the tariff bill, and
to restore the measure as it was writ
ten by the house committee, is taken
by those who have been waging the
fight against the feather trade" as
certain and complete victory for the
friends of wild bird life.
The new tariff bill will prohibit the
importation of wild birds plumage
for commercial purposes, no matter
from what country they come, and
will abolish in the United States and
all its territorial possessions the traffic
in skins and feathers of slaughtered
wild birds. Among the senators who
worked in behalf of this measure are
Senators Mclean, Chamberlain, Lane
who made an aggressive stand in the
caucus fight Of Tuesday; O'Gorman.
Hitchcock, John Sharp Williams, Gore
Bryan, Bacon, shively and others.
This campaign was inaugurated and
managed by the New York Geological
society and National Association Of
Audubon Societies. Immediately it
attracted the support of national and
state declarations Of women's clubs,
the State Audubon societies.: many
patriotic societies Of women, the Wo-
mems League For Animals and other
organizations and free lance leaders.
The number of personal letters writ
ten to members Of congress in this
campaign was enormous. It is esti-
mated that 100000 would be under
rather than above the mark. The plan
is now to carry the fight to England.

NEEDN'T WEAR WHITE SUITS.

Spotless Linen Impedes Officers Work
IN Navy Yards, Daniels Hears.
Washington. Democratic simplicity
has taken another long stride forward
Navy officers in natty white uniforms
will no lenger be seen painfully and
nervousiy performing their duties in
machine shops and storehouses in
navy yards where every move may
threaten to soil their spotlessness.
In the course of d recent converse
ton with Colonel George w. Goethals.
chief engineer of the Panama canal.
when the latter was in Washington.
Secretary Daniels asked if it was not
irksome for the army officers on the
1sthmus to wear white uniforms all the
time.
1T surely is" replied Colonel Goe-
thals, land when man is all the time
afraid he will get his clothes dirty he
Is no good whatever for any kind Of
work."
Acting on this philosophical sugges-
ton. Secretary Daniels when inspect
ing navy yards has asked the officers
on DUTY II they enjoyed being in their
uniforms while at work in the shops
and storehouses. The unvarying an
swer has been that they would be very
glad to get rid of them The secretary
then inquired what sort of clothes they
would like to wear while at work. and
every time the answer has been over
alls. ..' -.
Officers like to show workmen how
to do things. But to take hold of a
machine lathe or drill press and run
1t when one is dressed in immaculate
white linen is expensive.
So Secretary Daniels issued an order
to commandments of navy yards to per-
NIT officers on duty under them to
wear civilian clothes while on duty.
