We present below a complete description and plan of a type of portable poultry house which is giving good service on the experimental poultry farm conducted by the United States government. Buildings of this character are valuable addition to the equipment of any poultry farm. since they may be used for so many diff ferent purposes in the course of the year S operations.

When Indians Make Haste

From the Christian Herald
 Another practice of the Navajos that promotes health among them, however repugnant 1t may be for us. Is their dis position of the dead. In the presence of the living. the Navajo Is without fear, but his terror of the dead Is abiect and un- reasoning. The dead are believed to be possessed of malevolent feelings towards the survivors, with unlimited powers for working evil upon those who carelessly place themselves within the power of the spirits So when any one dies the only anxiety of the surviving relatives Is to get rid of the body as quickly as pos sible. If there are any white men living in the neighborhood. an effort is made to induce them to perform the offices of ndertaker. If not. the disposition of the body depends somewhat upon circum- stances. If the hogan--the modern wig
 wam-is built of wood. 1t is set on fire and burned with the body in it. If of stone, the body Is usually taken outside, the entrance of the hogan closed up with
 stones or sticks, and a hole made in the wall opposite to permit the evil spirit to depart, and to warn passers-by that tho structure belongs to the dead If the death occurred in rocky country. the l body will likely betaken to some creyice
 and thrown in 1t. It may be left un- covered, to become the prey of wolves
 and coyotes. or sticks and stones may be cast over 1t If the family lives in a sandy part Of the reservation. with no convenient crevices or chasms near by the body will be laid upon the sand. a little earth and some stones thrown up- on IT, and pile of brush laid over all.

PENS AND SWORDS WORKING TOGETHER Must Operate in Harmony if
 War Comes

There are many things about the army of the United States in better shape today than they were Is years ago. when hostili- ties with Spain made popular the word preparedness, as the lack of that quail ity caused so much talk about it's desira- bility in time of war. says the New York Evening Post.
 The business of moving troops has been learned, partly from the lesson of the transport blunders incidental to getting to Cuba at the outset of the war in 1898, principally from the going and coming of many regiments to and from the Phil ippines in the course of the 16 interven- ing years. The art of keeping those troops well under all sorts of climatic and foreign service conditions has been so far perfected that the disease scorge of the Spanish war camps seems now to have been a thing of the middle ages, not of 1898.
 And another improvement Of primary importance to the public and the army alike, has been made in the arrangements whereby the millions who stay at home may know what the thousands at the front are accomplishing. or failing to accom- plish.

OF BULLETS
 0N THE HUMAN BODY
Mauser Generally Goes
 Clear Through a Man
IS BULLET OF MERCY
At Range of Over 300 Yards It Is Rarely Fatal-Soft Nose 30-40 Makes the Most Wicked
 Wound

l am not writing this letter to be read
 before society of doctors. It is not for
 medical men unless they happen to be
 sportmen or gun sranks. says the Cutters
 Book
 After the Spanish American war Dr.
 Senn wrote a book telling of the effect of
 the (then) new high-power bullet on the
 human being. The United States army
 had recently adopted the Krag-J Jorgensen
 rifle, with its high-power steel-jacketed
 bullet. and surgeons were anxious to
 known how 1t would act. Dr. Senn's 8 patients were either shot with the 30
 calibre Krag or the somewhat smaller r.
 nm. (equal to .2S caliber) Mauser. Both were military bullets. 1. e., full metal
 jacketed
 During the Medero revolution in Mex leo his men were killed with all kinds of
 weapons, from the tiny 6-mm. Lee straight pull to the old-style 80 caliber Remington lead bullet.
 I do not know how many wounded I treated during that revolution, but a 1000 would be placing the estimate very low. Being a sportsman and a gun cronk, constantly found myself speculating as to the caliber of the bullet that made the particular wound I happened to be treat ing. And soon became to be tolerabiy expert Tn my SueSSeS. ln1OrIunately was too busy and had not the opportunity to hold post-mortems on those who wer, killed, else would have learned mucl more. My experience smashed severa theories I had previously formed. I dis covered that the modern high-powel military bullet Is not always the mercifu thing I had heard it was. Up to 300 yard, 1t Is a smasher. It does not drill neal hole in the bone and pass on by any means. Some of the worst cases of shat tered bones I had were made by Mausei at close ranges. while the abdomen oI head wound at such ranges is invariably fatal. I do not recall single case wher, a soldier received an abdominal or brair wound from a Mauser at close range ano recovered. The bullet makes the usua meat little hole.' but the soft tissues around it receive severe injuries-due to the high velocity of its passage. At ranges of over 300 yards the Mausei becomes bullet of mercy-if there is any

distribution Tackle. wing bows. saddle, sickels and tail coverts of the male are lustrious bluish-black. The rest of the plunage, as well as that of the female Is a clear, medium shade of salty-blue, each feather being laced with darker shade.
 In both sexes the beak is horn color: the eye, bay; earlobes white; shanks and toes leaden blue. Cocks weigh six pounds; cockerels and hens, five; bullets, four.
 It must be admitted that even the best flocks of this breed do not breed true to color. A certain proportion of the chicks come either black or white. The purchaser of matching eggs must expect this, and not blame the fancier from whom the purchase was made. But when few good speciments are secured. one must admit that they are worth all the trouble required to produce them.
 Of course, the off-colored birds are just as good for utility purposes as the beautiful blues, and may profitably be given place in the laying flock.

By PROF. F. H. sroNEBURN

Your Uncle Samuel is conduction a poultry farm near Washington. Natural ly. this is not operated for direct finan- cial profit. but is devoted to experimental work, which will ulntimately will be of value to poultry raisers of the nation. It is under the direct supervision of we'll equipped poultrymen. who are units in that Wonderfully efficient organiaafion- the department of agriculture
 In the course of the regular work at this national poultry farm there have been de- Veloped certain plans for poultry houses and other equipment, which are of un- usual merit. Among them appears the portable colony house, which is here H. lustrated and described This little struc- trre is attractive in appearance. simple in construction. convenient for the attend ant and provides the necessary comfort for the birds It will prove useful in the city back yard or on the great poultry farm.
 E Among the uses to which this handy little house may be put, we might list the following:
 Useful in Many Ways
 As quarters for flock of 20 to 25 layers. As breeding house. accommodating a male and 10 to 15 females As brooder U small portable hovers. As home for 50 to 100 growing chicks. As storage house for. surplus stock As condition ing house for the preparatio of show birds. As hospital in which sick birds from the general flock are isolated
 In short such a building will be useful the whole year through The fact that it is built on skids and may be easily moved to any part of the plant where it may be required adds to it's convenience.
 The dimensions here given are those of the original structure. Of course these 9 are not arbitrary. Slight changes may be made Ill order to permit the economical use of available building material without affecting the efficiency of the plan
 The house is 10 feet long by feet wide s feet inches high in the front and 4 feet inches high in the back. This does not include the height of the supporting skids or sils. Walls and floors are made of single thickness of 7s-inch matched lumber and the roof of ordinary sheath ing covered with good roofing fabric. The material required is as follows:
 Material Required
 Skids Cor sills), ? pieces, 4x6 inches F feet long. Joists. 8 pieces, 2x4 inches, IA feet long. Studs and braces. l3 pieces, 2x3 inches, 12 feet long, Rafters, pieces, 2x4 inches, 16 feet long. Floor and sides 7s inch matched flooring 340 broad feet Roof 7s-inch sheathing, 100 board feet. This makes a total of 626 feet of lumber, and when the material is purchased in the above dimensions there will be but little waste.
 In addition to the lumber, there are re- ouired one roll of roofing material, four small window sash, nails, hinges and a small amount of wire netting having small mesh. As prices differ in various localities the cost of this material will vary somewhat. Any dealer in lumber Will quickly make an estimate for pros pective customer.
 When erecting the building the skids are first placed in position upon a level spot, four-nch sides up, and to these

this plan were adopted here. 1t would be necessary to slide the doors to the side instead of up, because of lack of space beneath the window
 In the original plan, no provision Is made for shelf or "sideboard D upon which to place the feed and water dishes Such a shelf might we'll be attached to the front wall. beneath the central venti- lating door. If elevated some 16 or IS inches it would not reduce the available floor space. and the feed and water would be free from the danger of having litter and filth scratched In them.

l, A SPANISH FOWL WEARING AMERIcA,s coLoRs

Intermediate in size between it's close relatives and Leghorns and Minorcas, the Blue Andalusian is graceful and sym metrical fowl having great beauty of form and color. Though in all probability a native of Spain. it carries the American colors-red in comb and wattles. white in earlobes, blue in plumage. That this is a unique and most striking combination goes without saying.
 Aside from its attractive appearance, the Andalusian has very substantial grounds upon which to base it's claim for popularity. It is an excellent layer of large chalky-white eggs. the kind which are most in favor in some of our leading markets. Tn recent laying competition the only pen of Andalusians entered laid S10 eggs, an average for the year of 162 eggs for each of the five bullets This is considerably better than the general aver age of the 800 competing birds.
 The typical Blue Andalusian leans some what toward the Minorca type. The H. lustration shows this, as well as the color

Is the subject of much speculation. As before stated, the available evidence indi- cates that its original home was in Spain. Whether 1t was distant breed or originated from crosses of the black and white fowls from which other we'll known breeds have descended is ques- tion which probably will never be defi- nitely settled. In any event, the Anda- lusian was not perfected in it's native home. The painstaking fanciers of Eng land must be given credit for this work. It was first introduced, into this country in 1851, a few specimens having been pur- chased from ship touching at Ports mouth. It is said that these were lacking in uniformity of type and were poorly marked, but carried the beautiful blue color In practically all sections. Upon this foundation the modern type was built.
 From England the bird naturally came to America. It cannot be truthfully said that 1t is widely popular here. but it has many enthusiastic admirers and seem to make good whenever given an oppor- tunity.

hens or males. This might well be built upon the top of the upper tier of nests In this position it would be easy to care for and would receive sufficient light and ample ventilation.
 In case the building is to be located in such a position that the end door cannot be left open during the summer months, a frame of proper size, covered with wire netting, should be provided. This may be substituted for the wooden door when warm weather comes on. This plan as a whole is an excellent one. Any one needing small structures of this character may safely adopt 1t.

He Didn't Mind

From the National Food Magazine.
 The little boy was carrying home an empty bowl that had contained his fa- ther's dinner. when big bully appeared.
 Do you mind if I kick that bowl? he asked.
 Not bit" replied the small boy. You mean that you do mind if lsscls that bowl"
 Not a bit"
 For the last time" persisted the bully, ''do you mind if I kick that bowl?'
 No. should like you to- said the small boy.
 "Oh. would your" exclaimed the bully
 Then watch mel' He shattered the bowl to atoms. Now do you mnd?" he asked.

of it's readers know. Line for line, 1t has printed more matter in support of the proposition than any other paper in the North. It has given Delegate wickersham unstinted and deserved praise for the splendid fight that he has made for the bill.
 The Empire has said, and 1t re- beats, that at least a majority of the seven Senators whom Delegate Wick ersham assailed on the floor of Con- gress are and always have been in ia vor of the government railroad in AL aska. It has said, and it repeats, that the letter which he attacked them for signing and sending to the Secretary of the Interior declared in favor of it, in spite of their (not the Empire's) conviction that a majority of the peo- pie were opposed to the academic principle of government ownership"
 Alaska has too much for It's citizens to do that is worth while for them to waste time in foolish game of pea nut politics or in misrepresenting one another We can do better work for the country by being frank and play ing fair.

THERE MUST BE NO MISTAKE
MEN of Big Business"
 who are so ready to praise A President Wilson and SO anX.

-HOSE MEN of Big Business"
 who are so ready to praise
 President Wilson and so anx ious to assist him to work out his pol icies of government will rue 1t great. Iy it they mistake his triendliness for weakness or lack Of definite plans. The President has made it clear that it is not his purpose to destroy the indus trial and commercial fabric of the Ma ton. but to preserve it; that he has no desire to ruin any class of busi' ness men, but to make them play fair. He is willing to play the game with any one who will play under the rules as they were laid down in the plat form upon which he made his Presi- dential campaign. as he has interpret ed them from time to time. But he knows what he is attempting to ac' complish and he understands thorough ly the rules under which he is working. It will be useless to try and put any thing over on him. Let any one fudge and he will be ruled out immediately, for the President is not only the cap tain of the team but the referee and the umpire.
 The New York World, in a warning to the Wall street crowd. expressed the situation precisely and illuminat- ingly when it said:
 Mir. Wilson is a representative
 man. He truly represents mil
 lions Of men. He knows it and
 they know it and Big Business
 knows it. So armed and support
 ed. he can afford to be accommo-
 dating and kind, but it must not
 be forgotten that behind these qualities there are conviction, de-
 termination and authority all in possession of a man who knows
 their value and their sanction and
 how to use them.
 The general good feeling now prevailing will continue if the work of writing the peoples will into law shall proceed cautiously and wisely. It will end very soon if anybody or importance assumes mistakenly that Presidential ac- commodation' means weakness or that eloquent phrases and polite language are to be accepted as yelling iuSiucereity.

 Oh, let's be fair in discussing these matters. If we are going to build a commonwealth here in Alaska such as will make the country good place in which to live We have too much work ahead of us to befuddle things, and misrepresent people. The En- pire never suggested that any per centage of the people of the Territory are or ever were opposed to a gov ernment railroad in Alaska. It be- Iieves that practically all Of the peo. pie of Alaska have been in favor of the government railroad from the be ginning. And it has been with them in their fight all along the line, as all

to vote for him. They either voted for IGm or they refrained from voting at all. The fact that the vote for Mayor
 at the election fell several thousands short of the vote for the same office
 at the primaries. reversing all prece-
 dents. was due to this condition.
 Had Thomas A. Parish been nomin- ated in Seattle two years ago the re- suit would have been what it was last Tuesday in Seattle. No candidate
 except one who was known to be a
 progressive through and through could
 have united in the election that follow ed the forces that opposed Gill in either primary. Cotterill had a pro- gressive record that was known of all.
 He was a platfrom in himself, and he won. Trenholme, although thoroughly progressive, was not we'll known. The circumstance that most of the wealthy class of the city supported him, that the so-called leaders of the Cham Der of Commerce were on his cam paign committee or contributors to his campaign fund, counted against him. The fact that these men accepted him in the same spirit that Big Business" in the East has accepted Wilson-as a man who is clean. able and careful in his radicalism- did not reach sui ficient number of the progressive men and women of the city to counteract the effect of the charges that had been made against him from many sources during the progress of the primary and general campaigns.
 Trenholme and his friends count ed too much upon his progressive rec ord as chairman of the Democratic county central committee, to which he was chosen by the Wilson-Bryan ele- ment of the party by an overwhelming vote, and gave him an overload to car ry.
 The acurateness of this conclusion is demonstrated by the victory for a commission form of government and the election of at least twelve of the fifteen members of the new charter making commission and all of the new councilmen from among the support CTS of the Cotterill administration.
