China's Millions.

Any figures for the population OF
China must necessarily be more or less
unreliable. inasmuch as the census man
is not much in evidence in the land OF
the Celestials. The estimate. which is
probably somewhere near correct. Is
402, 100000. As 70 whether the mil
lions OF China will ever become thor

The Chinaman possesses plenty Of
good sense and there seems to be no
valid reason why he should not some

ahead with the rest Of the folks.--New

FATE OF THE REsoLu7E.
British Economy and the End Of
FrankIin's Exploring Ship.

FrankIin's Exploring Ship.
The story Of how the brave little ex.
ploring ship the Resolute was found by
an American vessel in Davis strait aft
er a thousand mile cruise. from Mel
vile island without q soul on board is
easily the most captivating in the his
tory of arctic exploration. The Reso-
lutte. locked in the ice, was abandoned
IN May 10. 1854. sorely against the will
.Of her captain by advice Of the leader
of the Belcher-Franklin expedition
The reappearance of the vessel on
Sept. Ii caused a great sensation, and
the United States brought the vessel
with great ceremony to Cowes in order
to present 1t to the queen of England
The queen. the prince consort and
others Of the royal family then at Os-
borne House inspected the vessel.
which had been carefully repaired and
all the original furniture retained in
position down to the smallest trinkets.
The American skipper traced before
her majesty the thousand mile course
Of the vessel and expressed his belief
that Sir John Franklin was still alive,
living among the EskimOs.
After many banquets the actual
transfer of the vessel took place on
Dec. 80. 1856. when the American flag
was replaced by the British. And now
comes the tragedy. The admiralty had
no sooner come into the possession of
the vessel than it proceeded TO break
it up on the good old principle of pub
lie economy!-London Chronicle.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
The Old Time Custom Of "Plowins at
the Horses Tail"

the Horses TAIL"
Animals seem to have no idea of ex-
erclsing to keep warm. They just turn
their backs to the wind and crouch.
but perhaps if one had only a limited
amount Of fuel it would be better lust
to Keep spark alive till the snap was
over than TO burn it all out in few
hours
Ihe hrSt legislation against cruelty to
animals is said to have been an enact
ment passed in the days of Queen
Elizabeth prohibiting "plowing at the
horses tail" as then practiccd in Ire
land.
Thls custom consisted in lashing the
plow beam to the horses tail with a
bit of rope and then, while one man
held the pIow, another walked back
ward before the animal. guiding it with
blows Of Il stick. 1t seems rs though
this plan must have cooked the plow
so nigh into the air that the point
would take no hold on the soil. 1t
seems also as if only the most spirit
less OF cquincs would have submitted
TO the treatment. but that it was fre
quentIy done the act against it proves
The cruelty Of the practice needs no
demonstration: it could not have been
prohtabIe. but was perhaps preferable
to starvation. Whether the English leg
islatorS were moved solely by pity Of
the miserable beast or whether they
desired to make market for English
plows and harness does not appear

CORN VALUABLE FOR POULTRY
Not Much Danger Of Becoming over
fat, " Compelled TO Exercise for
Their Grain.

Corn is valuable poultry food
and It is in its abuse and not its use
that It is to be condemned. Some
fowls become fat on almost any kind
OF food while others win not fatten
even on corn. There seems to be a
goOL BIT OF human nature about the
makeup Of the hen. II hens are made
to exercise for their grain. and are in
a good laying condition, there is not
much danger OF their becoming over.
fat. In fact It is rather a difficult
matter to oyerfatten laying hens. It
is when they are slack In laying and
become lazy that the fat seems TO start
to grow. When hens become too fat
they should be placed In a separate
yard where there is no male bird. as
the attention of a male TO an overfat
hen is apt to hasten death. II such
hens are given only an evening feed
OF wheat and nothing during the day
except green food and water they

SKIM MILK VALUABLE DRINK
Repeated Tests Demonstrate Pulleta

To test the value of skim milk for
laying hens, 60 pullets were put in
two pens, equally divided, of one va
riety and all as near OF an age as
possible, They we're fed exactly alike
keeping strict account Of their feed
but given different drinks. One pen
had sweet skim milk, while the Other
had only plenty Of fresh water.
This test was begun on November
and accounts were balanced With
both pens on May 1 following. The
hens that drank the water had but 3
little over half as much credit for eggs
laid, while their feed had cost nearly
a third more than the pen which were
fed skim milk Some days in the very
coolest weather the milk-fed pen OF
80 pullets laid 2s eggs, and their av.
erage for January was "a Nggs daily
The skim milk-fed pen not only pro
duced many more eggs, but they die

pen.
Since then these tests have been re
peatedly tried with different breeds

One OF the most frequent sources OF

Have you satisfied yourself on the
following points?
It costs 500 annually to keep the
average horse. but this horse works
only a little more than three hours
each working day. This makes the
horse labor cost approximately ten
cents an hour
Do you handle the horse labor on
your farm so that the annual cost Of
keeping your horses is less than the
average so that the number Of hours
worked is greater? Both methods

terest will center will be the Better

next week at Wawaset Park, during
the State Fair. The contest, which
will start next Tuesday and last

many more will be in the contest be-
fore the opening day. There will be
classes all day Tuesday until five
o'clock; on Wednesday and Thursday
until four o'clock and classes will
close at three o'clock on Friday. 1t
is understood. however, that the Bet
ter Babies contest is not being given
for babies alone. Mothers and faith
ers and others sufficiently interested
are requested to come and see for
themselves what fine lot of young
sters the city has.
Thirty-four leading physicians of the
city have consented to act as judges of
the contest. Among some of them are
Drs. John L. Fisher, Willis Linn, Julian
Adair, Edgar d. Bullock, G. R. Foulk
and Willard Springer. Miss Sarah Mes
erole, of Trenton, y. j., will Judge the
mental status of each baby.

that it is not a baby show, as it is not
the idea to have babies entered

the sole desire OF those interested t.
