The American navy il still among the best, but

the Wyoming and Florida classes IL the United
States was to retain its position the worlds

naval of1cer In New York, who took pencil and

twenty-five years figured out just what the obso-
lete ships now adjoining the naval lists originally

It was ridiculously easy, the computation OF

astounding. and when at last the navy wiped
his brow and announced the result of that little

PREPARE ANIMALS
FOR BEST RETURNS
Most Common Mistake Among
Farmers Is in Selling Product
Only Half Finished.

II is astonishing to observe during
a visit to the stock yards how little
care most farmers take In condition
ing their animals for market. The
most common mistake IL made in
selling animals that are half finished.
Fully rs per cent Of all the animals
sold reach the markets in an unfin-
ished condition. This, more than any
thing else, is probably accountable
for the common belief that there is
no money in feeding livestock. Some
times stock il sold because grain is
high. At other times the available
supply Of feed has been consumed be-
fore the stock is conditioned, but
more frequently perhaps, many feed
ars do not understand what we'll

6By KATHERINE A. GRIMEs.)
1.-THE proof of the pudding is in the
eating and the proof of success in
the poultry business is in the profit
made at selling time.
You must begin to plan as to when
and how you are going to market
your fowls about as soon as the eggs
are set-or even before, SO as to know
what your aim is to be-whether ma
ture dressed poultry, birds for breed
ing. or frying chickens. OF course it
all depends upon what the demand in
your vicinity is for. If you live where
there will be sale for good birds for
breeding, it may not pay you to sell
many fowls to the market. II you find
a good call for broilers or small chicks
for frying-and these usually bring
good prices-you might do your best
work in raising some kind OF early
maturing fowls that will make a
pound and a half at six weeks or two
months old.
If you intend to sell dressed poultry,
it is usually best to choose a breed
having yellow legs and light-colored
feathers, as they look nicer than the
black-legged, black-colored varieties.
The meat is not bit better, but you
know 1t is looks that count when a
buyer comes into a market.
AS soon as the pullets can be told
from the roosters, they should be sep
arated, and unless you expect to sell
them for breeding, the surplus males
should be fattened and disposed of as
early as possible.
If you want to hurry them onto the
market, one of the very best plans is
that known as the crate-feeding meth
cd. Take some Stats about an inch
and a half wide-lath will do very
nicely-and make coop with a fiat
top and a Stat bottom, about Is
inches wide, the same In height, and
long enough to accommodate the num-
Der of fowls you have to fatten. Al
low about six inches In length to each
bird. Divide your crate into sections
that will hold four OF five fowls each.
Set 1t up on trestle-a couple of saw
horses make good supports-so the
droppings will fall through the slat
bottom and not soil the coop.
Now make V-shaped trough the
same. length as your coop. This is
used for both feed and water. The
feed should consist of Underground
oats mixed to stiff batter with skim
milk or buttermilk, preferably the lat
ter. Feed this mixture three times
day, but do not let It stand in the
troughs. Give them ample time, say
half an hour, to eat all they want, and
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1913-10-03

then If any is left, clean out the
trough well and fill with cool, fresh
water. This should be left before
them until next feeding time.
A cup OF grit should be fastened
where they can get at 1t all the time.
A little green stun and mixed with
the feed is good appetizer. but not
indispensable.
Two weeks in a coop like this win
nearly double the weight of thrifty
bird. Even the culls and "runts'' can
be brought to a very satisfactory mar
hens, such as every flock should be
cleared Of once a year. it is the best
possible plan to get them into shape
for selling. The flesh OF crate-fatten-
ed fowls is white and tender, not hav-
ing been toughened by exercise. Then.
too, there is the satisfaction of know
ing that only clean. wholesome food
has been eaten. To fastidious per
son this makes great difference.
Probably the best way to market
poultry, for the average boy who has
q small flock, is to work up a trade
among customers. This can easily be
done where the same plan has been
followed in selling eggs. If he has
kept his eggs up to q high standard.
the buyer reasons that his chickens
win be so as well. Even ON the
start he can demand. and get a price
that ia much above the ordinary mar
ket stock, provided. always. that he
sets and keeps high quality as his
standard.
Birds that are to be kept for sale
as breeders should never be allowed
to become fat. They should be kept
in good order, In clean, attractive
quarters, and always where they can
be shown to prospective customers,
at moments notice. The finest bird
in a dirty, bad-smelling coop will not
show to good advantage. and win not
sell as quickly as an ordinary one In
attractive surroundings. Birds hav-
ing white plumhge should be kept
where they can be kept clean, other
wise they will not show for what they
are.
Sell your roosters early, keep the
pullets to increase your flock. and get
rid of your old hens as soon as you
are through with them for sitters and
mothers Never sell bird for breed
ing purposes unless 1t is first class.

HUERTA'S SELECTION
IS REGARDED HERE
AS UNSATISFACTORY

The selection of Gen. Fictorino Huerta
to be provisional President OF Mexico
was regarded in Washington last night
as a most unsatisfactory and unfortunate
conclusion to the struggle that has beer
going on in Mexico City for the last ten
days.
quietly accept the arrangement made
between Gen. Blanchette or Gen. Diaz
and Gen. Huerta is very much doubted
in Washington. Up to this time Gen.
Huerta has never even been mentioned
as a possibility for the Presidency, either
for a provisional term or an elective
term. He has been looked upon purely
as n military man. but little connected
with the political situation.
1t is believed also that the selection OF
Huerta will arouse the bitter enmity of
all Of President Madero's following in
Mexico. He is a member of a large and
wealthy family which exercises a tre-
mendous influence throughout Mexico.
While President Madero has himself re-
fused to resign in favor of de la Barra
as provisional President. it Is believed
that his family and his friends would
have yielded with fair grace had de Ia
Barra again been selected as provisional
President.

gard to the Mexican situation last night

Mexico to the level OF Honduras. Mica

American republics. where the govern
ment has become the football of in

DISPATCHES MISLEAD
PEOPLE OF THE U. S,

That the censorship imposed on dis
patches out of Mexico City by Presi-
dent Madcro is calculated to mislcad
the people of the United States as TO
the true state of affairs in the Mexican
capital was indicated in an official mes
sage from Ambassador Wilson received
at the State Department yesterday. The
statements OF the Ambassador differ in
many important respects from the dis
patches which the Mexican govern
ment censors allowed to come through
TO the press last night.
Contrary to the censored dispatches
of this morning. the American En-
bassy was struck by many bullets and
shells during the firing of Monday. The
censored dispatches related that the
American Embassy was being protect
ed from the firing. According to the
Ambassadors reports, though little
damage was done to the embassy
building. many people were killed in
the vicinity of the embassy. Great
was done to buildings in the
heart OF the city during yesterdays fir-
ing. the Ambassador reports. and there
were a great many casualties.
