Cream a half pound OF sugar and q
quarter pound of butter and beat six
eggs, yolks and whites separately.
Add the eggs to the creamed sugar
and butter and then add enough -four
to make a thick batter. In the old

PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND
Weii-Furnished Expedition Returns
Without the Riches II Had Been
In Search OF.

The treasure-hunting party from
Plymouth, England, which has been
searching Cocos island In the Pacific
for treasure supposed to have been
buried there by pirates many years
ago, has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the
hoped for pirate spells. The Melmore
sailed from Barry In September last,
carrying In addition to the officers
and crew, two London ladies and
three gentlemen financially interested
in venture which was fondly hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit.
Two other unsuccessful attempts to
locate the buried gold and jewels Of
the buccaneers made by Earl Fftz-
william and Mr.. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith of the members of
the Melmore expedition, who declared
they had specific information of the
exact position of the accumulated
hoard.
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima in 1920, consisting of gold
bullion and articles to the value Of
about $4,000, 900, and the other treas
ure, which is placed at an even high
er figure, was taken to Cocos island
by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite
the care with which the Melmore was
fitted out-the expedition was esti-
mated to cost O.OOO-the search ap-
pears to have been fruitless.

RARE BIRDS CAUGHT AT SEA
Barber on Atlantic Liner Makes Neat
Sum by Lurins Them on Board
and Capturing Them.

The ships barber Of the Atlantic
liner Minnetonka has found a new and
profitable pastime In catching wander.
ing birds during the voyage across
the Atlantic and selling them on his
arrival In port. All sorts of birds
come aboard at sea. he declared. and
many of the rarer specimens find a
ready sale.
His chief assistant is a whistling
brown linnet, which lures the wander
ers aboard from its cage in an open
port. When it whistles the vagrant
f1iers alight on the ship, and pres
emily fiutter inside. Then the port is
closed and the strange birds are quick

sentative of the London Evening
Standard. "On recent homeward
voyage the linnet lured snowbird.
1t was the first one the London zoo
had been able to secure in 16 years
What the birds require when they
first alight on a ship is not food but
water; and 1t must be boiled. Gulls
follow ship all the way across the
Atlantic and back. American guls
are regular conveys as far as the
English channel, where they desert US

Il do not believe the laws against
capturing wild birds apply to the high
seas, beyond the three mile limit. At
any rate 1t is humanity to care for
them. and give them drink, food and

fond of watching them.

Grievance Easily Attended To

Beaver. Quay's home, applied for 9

any work, his chief duty being to re!

he drew his salary without giving the

and make the hen lay at her top
speed.
Here Is what your flock must have
In order to do their very best for you:
Grain-They should receive mixed
grain twice day, about one handful
to the fowl, each feed. Cracked corn,
wheat and clipped oats makes an ex-
cellent mixture. Barley may be used
in place of oats and kaffir corn Is q
good grain in the southwest Do not
feed whole corn to hens In mixture
as 1t is harder to digest and they neg
lect the rest Of the mixture. Feed
grain in deep straw during winter
months.
Ground grain, or mash, is absolutely
necessary for economical results. and
1t can be kept before them at all
times in an automatic hopper; an ex-
cellent mixture Ii two parts cornmeal.
one part middlings, one part bran. one
part oil meal, one part alfalfa meal.
one part meat meal.
Green food is essential to the fowls
health and the color and body of the
eggs. Pasture in summer and alfalfa.
cabbage, clover. chat, sprouted oats,
ETC., In winter will serve the pur-
pose.
Vegetable food is necessary for
health. and semi-weekly feed Of
roots, potatoes or cabbage will head
off bowel trouble.
Animal products are best supplied
by little green cut bone every other
day, but meat meal in the mash Is an
excellent substitute. They are OF the
very highest Importance to fowls
which do not have free range.
Lime. for egg shells. is supplied In
crushed oyster shells. plaster or mar
BILE grit.
Grinding material must be had, and
marble grit serves a dual purpose
here.
Charcoal Is an excellent corrective
for digestive disorders.
Water Is just as necessary for fowls
as for humans and 1t should be clean
and always available.
