TO RAISE SQUADS

Watch Them Carefully For
Any Irregularities.

must keep them free from vermin and
be in u position to notice anything ir-
regular that may be going oil in the
loft, says the Farm Journal. This re-
quires constant care and attention. and
a loft of 200 pairs requires at least two
hours work per pay, besides n day
a week for killing the youngsters and
cleaning up in general.
The females. as a rule. are more
delicate than the males. This is true
in both old and young pigeons.
Seldom do young pigeons produce
their first squads In less than eight
months, and two pairs are about all
they produce before they are one year
old. The birds In the first pair are
generally small.
The best breeders are birds that are
Matched in April or May. These gen.
orally do not mature before October
and seldom breed until the following
spring. This gives them q chance TO
get fully developed. and they will rear
much harder and larger youngsters
than those that breed when younger.
Birds have been known to breed when
only three months old, but such early
mating should be discouraged.
In order TO avoid dark skinned
squads it is advisable not to breed
from birds that have very dark legs
or beaks. Some have an idea that a
bird with black plumage is more like
~ TO be dark skinned than a white
feathered one. but this Is not the case.
as some of the whitest skinned squads
that have been produced were from
black pigeons.
The winter quarters must be dry
but airy, of ~course-and perfectly free
from drafts.
Don't throw food on dirty and damp
ground. This is n poor system. The
grain becomes sour. damp, and II all
is not eaten up becomes spoiled and
wasted. The best plan is to use trays
and feed inside the buildings where
no dampness can spoil the food. Feed
as much as will be eaten up clean at
one meal. Ii is far better to have
birds go a little hungry than TO have
food before them all day. as some do.

is still extant. In consequence of fresh
damage done to the buildings in 11SI
and 1914 another handsome church
was built in 1910, to which two domes
were added in 400. Owing TO contin-
ued complaints during the ensuing cen
turtles that the latter were unsafe. a
great part of the church vas rebuilt in
1719. Then. in 1908. the entire struc-
ture was almost entirely wiped out by
fire.
The Greeks had by that time secured
to themselves the principal right to the
building. With the assistance mainly
of the Armenians they built an entire
ly new church after designs by Kom-
n Kaffa Of Mitylene. Architects

Controversy Over Site.
As to whether the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher really stands on the
site of the Saviour's tomb. hewn in .he
rock, wherein his body lay after the
crucifixion, there are all sorts of con
ficting testimony.
Biblical references to the location OF
the tomb are very meager. From the
New Testament We learn that the
tomb was in a garden. lin the place

'came into the city" Therefore ii
would seem that any locality claimed
as the site of the sepulcher must have
lain at the time of the eruciixion out
side the walls of Jerusalem.
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher
which we know today has occupied the
same site for the last 500 years. Ii
lies in the heart OF present day Jeru-
salem. That up TO the time of Hadrian
the site Of the sepulcher still lay with
in the walls is proved by the state
ments of several chronicIers of the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

News" the following statement;
"Des Moines banks did big busi-
ness Saturday, supplying cash to mer-
chants and grocers. At first the cause
for the sudden demand fol coin was
not apparent to the financiers. Then
they realized that the saloons OF the
city had been closed a week. Work
men, who had been cashing their
checks IN the thirst parlors on Sat
urday nights and leaving a goodly
share of the exchange in the saloon
keepers till were, instead, getting
them cashed in legitimate places Of
business. Des Moines has been dry
two weeks now. If business has been
injured, as the vets so long predicted,
there is no evidence Of that fact. Al
ready the merchants see stimulation
of business, and money which former
ly went for booze is already beginning
to go for food and clothing and in the
payment of honest debts"

GULL IN STRANGE MISHAP
Birds Life Endangered When Its
5eak Was Caught Between the
Shells Of Clam.

At first thought il is hard to imagine
how a clam could endanger the life of
bird. That such a strange circum-
stance is not impossible is shown by
the following incident.
A settler on one of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning to his
home by way of beach of hard sand,
when he beheld an unusually large
flock Of seagulls gathered in
compact mass and beating with their
beaks and wings upon the said. Evi-
IDENTIFY they were attacking some en-
emy. Overhead dozens Of gulls
wheeled and screamed in evident ex-
element
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and flew, chattering, toward the
clouds One, however, lay tapping
upon the ground, and the man saw
that a monster clam held the gull's
beak in a viselke grip. 1t was too
heavy for the bird to fly away with,
and for all the gull's frantic strug-
giles, 1t could not loosen the CLAIMS
tenacious grip.
With his hunting knife the man
pried open the shells and freed the
captive. The'g gull was exhausted from
its desperate efforts, and at first could
only stagger like a drunken sailor
toward the water Finally, however

the van of a cloud of gulls come to

WOMEN IN ARSENALS
HANDLE EXPLOSIVES WITH SKILL.
AND FEW ACCIDENTS.
Government Declared to Have Gained
a Hundredfold Since Their En-
pIoyment - Quickly Become
Expert, Always Careful.

Much OF the important work at the
United States government arsenal at
Frankfort, Pa, is In the hands OF
women who are as skilled at making
deadly weapons as are their sisters as
nurses in army hospitals OF on the
fields OF battle. They are regarded
as more trustworthy, proficient and
conscientious than men, and are In
such demand in many departments
that they are worked in two shifts.
Even in the fuse room, where the most
dangerous work Is undertaken, wom'
en- are employed and accidents are
few and far between, due in large
measure, It is declared, to the greater
care taken by the female employees.
Most of the work in the hands OF
the women is regarded as skilled la
Dor, and It is strange to see such cap
tions as Mary Mathews, skilled labor
er." Every precaution is taken to
safeguard the workers and no one is
overworked, but the government has
gained a hundredfold since the wom-
en- have entered the arsenal as work
ers.
Each cartridge inspector in the ar.
senal inspects 81 500 cartridges a day,
an average that has been maintained
for several years. This work is very
important, for the slightest defect, one
not even to be detected by the expert
enced eye, might mean premature
explosion and the loss OF an eye, limb
or life to a soldier.
It is interesting to watch the girls,
most OF them quite young, handling the
big machines, some automatic and
some handled, in the rooms where
the cartridges are tapered and clipped.
In this work eight girls are employed
and each one handles $4,000 cartridges
a day.
The girls employed on the gauger
are especially expert. and have been
in the arsenal number Of years. One
girl gauges the cartridges and two in.
spect them. The gauger is also an ex-
pert inspector. and when the supply
gets too large for the girls to handle
she assists them.
The cartridge passes from the gaug-
er to weighing machine, and If the
powder shot is the slightest degree
underweight the machine throws it
out. Every cartridge is weighed a
second time. 1t is interesting to note
that not an underweight cartridge has
reached the Philadelphia section Of
the arsenal in five months.
