SAMPSON OWNERS
 INSIST LIN DAMAGES

In answer to petition for limita. ton of liability filed by the Canadian Pacific railway on behalf of the steam. ship Princess Victoria, the Pacific. Alaska Navigation Co, in the federal court asked damages to the amount Of $4S9,199.s4 for the Admiral Samp- son, sunk last August 26, in a collis- ion with the Princess Victoria.
 The sum specified is said to be the actual worth of the lost vessel. The original libel claim was for s67O, ,OOO.
 The St. Paul Fire & Marine Insur- ance Co petitioned that the C.. P. R. be required to pay all claims for the loss of the Admiral Sampson. The insurance company alleges that the collision was entirely the fault of the Victoria. which in fog ran at a high rate of speed when the Sampson was standing still.
 New claims for minor damages, for the alleged loss of personal property and for injuries also were filed by William Martin, Cora c. Petit, Cor nelia NJ. Pettibone, Philip McCaul and wife and Catherine A. Hay.
 The owners of the Victoria had al ready denied all blame in the acci- dent, which resulted in several deaths.
 The mass of litigation growing out of the wreck gains in volume, promis- ing to require several years for adju- dication.

HOMESTEAOS IN THE
 FOREST RESERVES

On account of numerous inquiries
 from the public and an apparent mis-
 understanding on the part of many
 people with reference to the applica- ton of the homestead law within the national forests, W. G. Weigle, forest supervisor of the Tongass and Gnu zach national forests, with headquar- ters at Ketchikan. states that since June II, 1906, all land within the ma. tional forests not needed for public purposes and more valuable for agri. culture than for any other purpose, has been open for homesteading in units not exceeding 16O acres, and that thousands of homesteaders have already take an advantage of this law within the national forests of Alaska and the states
 In Alaska, he says. that up to No vember 1914, seventy-fve applica. tions have been received for home steads in the Tongass national forest and 115 applications in the Chugach national forest, and that he had made preliminary survey of all of these claims and that favorable reports were submitted on all of the claims except A few that had been rejected on account of conflicting with claims of prior right. He states that the homestead. CT on unsurveyed lands within the national forest has the advantage over the homesteader on unsurveyed lands outside of the national forest
 First-That the forest service since 1913 makes the survey for patent free of charge, thus saving the claimant from one to two hundred dollars, nine of such surveys having been made on the Tongass national forest during the summer of 1914 and nearly twice that number will be ready for survey on the Tongass and Chugach forests dur ing the summer of 1915.
 Second-Outside of the national for. est the law requires that the boun- diary lines of a homestead be run in cardinal directions. north, south, east and west, while inside the national forests the boundary lines may be run to suit the shape of the tract of az ricultural land.
 Since there Is very little land sec tionized either inside or outside of national forests in Alaska the mak- ing of the patent survey by the forest service free of charge is a decided ad- vantage to the homesteader. The requirements of the law for proving up on a homestead are the same in- side of a national forest as they are outside. and if the homestead law is reasonably complied with, the secur- ing of a patent is certain, regardless as to whether 1t is inside or outside of national forest. He states most emphaticaly that the forest service not only now, but always, has invited le- gitimate settlement within the na- tional forests and that all statements to the contrary have either been made from lack of information or a desire to misstate the facts. He also states that all forest officers will always be glad to give information to the public relative to homesteads or any other national forest business, and he In- vites the public to prove this state ment by seeing a forest ranger or writing to the forest supervisor at Ketchikan.

2lumper birds, such as the Rhode Island Reds and
Plymouth Rocks, are used for meat and egg produc-
tion If pure-bred chickens could be distributed to
everv farmer in Kentucky to replace the mongrel
hocks found on many farms, the profits from the
poultry industry would be greatly enlarged, and it is
one purpose of the station to interest the farmers
in improving the breeding of the chickens.
Most of the poultry houses used in this state are
not properly constructed. The Stoop houses or the
ones with Slated sides particularly Objectionable
The poultry house should be closed on three sides
and the side toward the east should consist OF
large cloth curtain There should be at least three
square feet of floor space for every bird confined in
the house during the winter. AT the Experiment
Station farm the birds are bedded with six inches
of clean straw, which is replaced every month.
The mixed grain feed is thrown promiscuously about
in this litter so that the chickens must scratch and
hunt for it. This gives them exercise. The ration
used at the farm is made up of two parts of cracked
corn and one part of whole wheat in winter, and
two parts of wheat and part of cracked corn in
the summer. 1t is highly advisable to examine the
birds from time to time to see that they are not
becoming too fat nor too poor.
In addition to the grain feed the station uses
mixed feed made of finely ground ingredients
follows:
100 pounds of bran,
200 pounds of middlings,
200 pounds of cornmeal,
200 pounds of rolled oats,
200 pounds of dried beef scrap
$50 pounds of alfalfa meal
Is pounds of gluten meal,
Is pounds of oil meal,
pounds of fine table salt,
Is pounds of powdered charcoal.

of the chick feed once day. Clean water is very
necessary, young birds drink a large quantity
of it. 1t should be changed several times each
day and an occasional addition of potash will help
to keep the young chicks free from disease. When
the chicks two weeks old green clover is
pulled and the stems tightly bound with a string.
Then the punches of clover are hung inside the
pen where the chicks are kept They will quickly
eat all the green leaves. Some green feed is
required but too much of it will cause scours.
The earthworm host for the CAPE
Therefore chicks that allowed to run in
chicken yards where poultry has been maintained
for several years find worms that infected In
eating these earthworms the chicks swallow also
the gapeworms and soon contract the disease. AT
the Experiment Station, by keeping the young
chicks fresh ground, chicks have not had
a single case of this disease up to date.
1t is very necessary that the young birds should
not be chilled they will certainly be stunted in
their growth. Any deformed or weak chicks should
be killed during the first twelve hours of their
lives, because they liable to contract some dis
ease and spread it through the flock.
Shade is required If there trees in the
yard, shade may be provided by making awning
out of feed sacks cotton cloth. Sunhowers and
hemp have sometimes been used to furnish shade.
If the young birds allowed to in cultivated
field during the they will get good exercise
and number of insects.
During the next few days the poultry department
at the Kentucky Experiment Station will be greatly
enlarged, and is the intention to make it useful
to the farmers possible. Information will be
supplied to correspondents at any time free of
charge

DeIiriun.

When all parts OF the brain work prop
erIy together, our consciousness OF what
is going on in the world round us in an
orderly one things are, as the doctors
say, properly coordnated." But il that
coordination is disturbed, the conscious
ness gets muddled, things lose their re-
lation to one another, and everything be-
comes topSy- turvy. The condition is
called deirium, from the latin word for
crazy, and it is not disease in itself, but
a symptom that may complicate many
diseases.
II may accompany some grave brain
trouble, such as abScess or tumor, and it
is seeuin many forms ofinsanity. In the
form OF delirium tremens, it follows acute
leadpoiSoning by alcohol. Then there are
deliriums that complicate such acute in
fectiouS diseases as typhoid fever, pHeu-
monia, diphtheria, aHd scarlet fever.
Moreover, delirium is often produced by
poiSons in the system; mot only by pols-
ons taken into the system, but by poisonS
formed by the system itself, as in vari-
Gus kidney diseases, in which the body
loses lis usual power to eliminate lis in
furious products or to counteract them
chemically. There is also the delirium
of collapse, which is seen i'll the later
stages OF starvation, or OF extreme ex-
hauStion.
The cause that underlieS case OF de-
lirium must first be found, because the
treatment'wlll vary in accordance with it.
Few of lis are called on 10 deal with de-
lirium tremenS, or with the delirium OF
starvation, or with that terrible form
known as acute, deliriouS mania, which
generally ends in DEATH But the delr-
UNI that accompanies typhoid fever, pneu-
monia, or the acute infectious levers OF
childhood is of common occurrence, and
if is well 10 know that much can be done
TO prevent it, or TO bring relief after it
has begun. Sedative treatment, such as
a warm bath with cold applications to
the head, will often ward off an attack /;
but when there is great proStration OF
strength, stimulation is usually neces-
sary. Delirium is always eXhauSting !;
see that the patients strength is kept up
as far as possible. And never leave a
deliriouS patient alone, even for a min
ute. There are too many cases OF sick
people falling from open windows.
