PROPER FEEDING
OF YARDED HENS.
Variety Of Grains and Exercise
Are Necessary.

In feeding grain to yarded fowls a
heavy litter of straw should be pro-
vided in dry place and changed once
a month. The grain should be mixed
equal parts by measure Of corn, wheat
and oats or Kaffir, wheat and oats,
this to be fed in the litter twice a day
very sparingly of mornings and all
they will clean up of evenings.
For poultry on range the morning
feed may be omitted If there is mil
let stack handy, which there should be,
says the Kansas Farmer. The even
ing feed should be scattered over a
large area to give all a chance to get
what they will eat. as nothing is gain
ed by stinting poultry on feed, or other
stock, for that matter.
A variety of grains ground fine and
kept before the poultry at all times in
feed troughs covered with wire net
ting is great help in egg production
and also for young, growing stock. For
yarded fowls alfalfa meal and beef
scrap should be added at the rate By
weight Of one-tenth beef scrap and
one-tenth meal. Laying hens should
also have oyster shell kept before them
Unless one has alfalfa close to the
poultry houses oats should be planted
the latter part of March. In sowing
oats for poultry 1t is best to SOW them
thick on top Of the ground, then plow
them under. This places the seed and
roots Of the plant too deep for the
fowls to scratch out and makes green
pasture for them until weeds and grass
start. Then they stop working on the
oats, which gives them chance to ma
ture and make seed crop.

The Assassination of MaderO and
Pine SuaPeZ

Assassination is the medium OF
the coward. Assassination is the
one crime which is revolving in the
extreme and for which no plea
whatever can be offered in eXtenua-
ton.
The assassination of Francisco L.
Madero and Of Pine Suarez, respec-
lively the deposed President and
Vice President of the Republic OF
Mexico. has Mortified the civilized
world. These two officials, unarmed
and defenseless, were prisoners Oh
war. and in keeping with the rules
of civilized warfare were entitled to
and should have received the fullest
protection and been safeguarded
from every danger that would have
imperiled their lives.
If, ,after trial by military court
these captives had been decreed TO
have merited death, this extreme
penalty would have been inflicted by
a squad of soldiers.
From such termination OF the
career of two men who have long
been in prominence in the affairs OF
their country, theye may have been
expressions of regret, but such all
arbitrary course could have been
justified under the rules of war.
From the reports which have
reached the United States from
Mexico, Madero and Pine Suarez,
held as prisoners of war, were as
signed to the penitentiary for safe
keeping, but en- route to this prison.
which is not far distant from the
City of Mexico, the guards, number
ing over a hundred soldiers, as
signed to the protection of the pris-
oners. were attacked by party OF
thirty or fifty men, who, as alleged,
were attempting rescue. 1t is
added that the combat between the
Federal soldiers and the rescuers
lasted twenty minutes, but there
was not single one of the COM
batants who received the least in
jury. After the rescuers had left
the field it was then discovered that
Madero had been killed from shot
which struck the back of the head
and that Pine Suarez had received
several bullets in the chest.
Such in brief are the details of
this assassination, crime which
will add another blot of shame to
the horrible record of Mexico.
whose history is marked by the
death of thousands of victims who
have been compelled to yield their
lives at the dictates of tyranny and
lawlessness.
It is being explained by Huerta,'
the provisional president of Mexico,
that full and impartial accounting
OF the assassination will be given to
the world, and suggesting that the
captives were killed during an at
tempt at their release, but this
statement must be received with the
doubt of misgiying.
It is fair to conclude that as
Madero and Pine Suarez were men
acing obstacles, their removal by
The speediest means would relieve
the provisional government of en-
barrassment. Such plot was i'll
conceived and its execution can only
emphasize the repugnance and hor-
ror to such assassination which
must rest on Huerta and his asso-
ciates.

ties tanned the Boston outfit at the

Brooklyn's length on Ebbet's Field,
in an extra inning game. These were
the only pair of contests decided

Rube Marquard captured another

parently struck his old gait. The star
southpaw of the McGraw clan did
not have to exert himself against
Boston because New York gathered
seven runs in one big batting splurge
in the fourth inning. Red Murrays
homer helped to bring about the
Giant victory. Rudolph, who relieved
James, pitched good ball, but the
damage had been done.
Alexander won his sixth straight
game, pitching for Philadel-
