CHARLOTTE BREEDER
OF POULTRY HANDLES
LARGE QUANTITIES
HAS SEVENTEEN FARMERS
HANDLING SEPARATE BREEDS
THROUGH COUNTY

John A. Hageman, for many years
leading member of the American
Poultry Association and incidentally a
salesman for the Standard Muslin I'm
derwear company was in the city last
week looking after some of his inter-
ests.
Mr.. Hageman lives in Charlotte,
Michigan. He has seventeen farmers
raising poultry for him and he keeps
several breeds in his yards at home.
Among the breeds he catalogues and
advertises are the Partridge. Barred,
White, Silver Penciled and Columbian
Plymouth Rocks; Rose and Single
Comb Orpingtons, in white. black and
buff; Single Comb Reds: White, Buff
and Silver Laced Wynadottes; Single
Comb White, Brown Buff and Black
Leghorns; Silver Campines and Butter
Cups.
Mr.. Hageman has a system whereby
he places the breed OF poultry that he
desires to have raised, with some
representative farmer in the commun-
ity. The farmer keeps the stock
through the season and sells his eggs
to Mr.. Hageman. In the fall a stipu-
lated number of the young chicks are
taken off the farmers hands and sold
to the breeding and show trade. On
these the farmer realizes a price suf-
ficient to pay him for the effort of
keeping pure stock on his farm.
Before placing a breed of chickens
on farm, Mr. Hageman goes out to
the premises and sees that the build
ings are cleaned and instructs that
they be kept clean. Hetdemands that
an mongrel or inferior Specimens be
cleared off the farm. Some times the
farmer objects because he may have
pair of bantams that,are the pets of
the family but if he wishes to realize
more profit from the flock of poultry
he must eliminate all but good
specimens of the one breed if he
wishes to have Hageman take the pro-
duct.
Mr.. Hageman ships day old chicks
and eggs to all parts of this and other
states. His shipments cover every
month of the year and at times
amount to thousands of eggs per day.
The breeders are trained so that If he
calls them by telephone and tells them
to bring in a trio or half dozen birds
that are worth a certain amount of
money they know just what is want

James AoxSeoe, fifth president Of the
United States and author of the ia
nous doctrine which bears his name,
was born In Westmoreland county.
Va, 1856 years ago last spring.
Although Monroe enunciated and
definitely announced policy that has
been a live political issue for nearly
century. there has never been any
general observance of his birthday, and
no important memorial has been erect
ed to perpetuate his name.
Recently a movement has been start
ed to erect q Monroe monument. but as
yet no definite location has been de-
cided on. Among the cities suggested
are New York, where he died on July
4, 1881; Washington, San Francisco,

No Weapon In the World Equals the
Sixteen Inch Monster.
There is still about a years work to
do on the sixteen inch gun before 1t is
sent to the Panama Notifications. The
gun has been ordered shipped to Wa
terviiet arsenal. where it will be sent
to WATERFOWL. and the gun will be in
stalled in the immense carriage, which
is now nearing completion At Wa
tertOwH 1t will have shock test, after
which the gun and the carriage will be
shipped back to Sandy Hook for final
test
The progress of building the disap-
pearing carriage is attracting the at
tentiOn of ordnance experts of various
countries, and great interest will be
taken in the firing test of the gun after
it is installed in its new carriage. 1t
will throw larger projectile than any
gun in the world. 1t is estimated that
it will have an effective range Of some
thing like sixteen miles, which is be-
yond that of any other gun In the
world.
The final tests at Sandy Hook of
two new fourteen inch guns for Pana-
ma canal Notifications are about COM
pleted. The ordnance officers are high
~ pleased with the success Of the
tests, and it is stated that a remarka-

Stupidity and a Balloon.

The real cause of the destruction of
the Forlanini airship Citta di Milano
is attributed by the London Engineer
to the stupidity of the country folk
who rushed to the spot at which the
airship descended to repair a leaky
valve. The soldiers who manned the
vessel could neither drive the crowd
back nor induce it's members to stop
smoking. It was necessary to debate
the balloon. AS the great bag fell
over toward the crowd series of. ex-
plosions took place, and in few Sec

Today two-fifths Of the people of
Minnesota are of Scandinavian strain,
northern Iowa and the Dakotas are

Dakotas. Noisy industry has called

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Night Sweats.


Night sweats indicate a debil-
ity and disturbance of the nerv-
Gus system. The debility may
be a result Of tuberculosis infec-
ton. cigarette smoking. enlarged
heart with feeble action, nerv-
Gus exhaustion, change of life in
women and too much covering
during sleep.
The remedy Is to remove the
cause if that can be determined.
Take quick cold wet rub In
the morning and use a rough
towel for drying. 1t Is not nat
ural nor normal to sweat during
sleep, and If this keeps up you
will feel tired in the morning.
even If you do not now.
There are some remedies that
will help to prevent night
sweats, but they need to be used
with care, and the cause Of the
sweats should be known before
taking any medicine.
