by Three Votes.

Washington, Feb. 6.-By the narrow
est Of margins, following a debate IN
which the floor leader urged all Demo
Gratis to override the objection OF the
president, the house of representatives
voted on Thursday to sustain the veto
of the immigration bill
The final count showed that the OPP

son of Minnesota present but paired
A change of just three votes in favor
of the bill would have overthrown the
veto.
The consideration of the bill con-
sumed more than five hours, during
which time were heard a score or

A Bronze Turkey.

'Liver trouble" and spotted livers,"
Spotted cholera" and turkey chol-
era" are some Of the names given in
different localities to the diseases now
known generally as the blackhead,
which is virtually wiping out the tur-,
key fiocks in many parts of the coun-
try where these birds were once a
staple product.
I have dealt with this disease since
1898 and so far have found no drug
or combination of drugs that seems
to be worth relying upon, says an Ar
kansas writer in Farm Progress. In
my opinion preventive measures are
the only things that the turkey grow
er and the fancier of these birds can
place any great dependence upon.
Investigators who have studied this
form of disease for years are certain
that it is spread by the scattering of
a minute parasite akin to the very
lowest group of animal life. Like
the negri bodies found in hydropho-
bia and organisms that spread mala-
ria, these parasites are extremely
hard to destroy. The active principle
of blackhead is called "cocidium" and
is closely allied with the seeds Of n.y.
drophobia.
The methods of prevention are, in
brief:
First of all buy no new birds, no
importations, no turks or old fowls
from close at hand or from any other
section, without carefully examining
them for traces of the disease, and
then placing them in quarantine
away from the other birds for several
days. AS it may be carried by other
domestic fowls, it will be best to ex-
anime all ducks, hens, geese and
guinea fowls brought to the place be-
fore letting them run at large.
When a bird dies of blackhead
burn the body at once. Burying them
is a bad practice, as rats, dogs or 9th
er animals may dig them up and

HINTS FOR THE PoULTRYMAN !
Facts and Figures Carefully Compiled
and Edited-ExceIIent for
Future Reference.

The following facts and figures
should be preserved for future refer
ence. They are not given at random,
but have been carefully compiled and
edited:
1t takes about three months to grow
a broiler.
The goose lays a score or two of
eggs in a year.
No brooding-pen should contain over
fifty chicks.
Broilers shrink about half pound
each when dressed.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed
in a barrel for shipment
The shell of an egg contains about
fifty grains of salt and lime.
From thirty-five to forty ducks and
brakes are allowed in a pen
The duck averages about ten dozen
eggs in about seven months laying.
Build the house 10 by 10 feet for
ten fowls, and the yard ten times
larger.
Ducklings are marketed at FIVE
pound weight, which they attain in
ten weeks.
Ten dozen eggs year is the aver
age estimate given as the production
of the hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as
an average for the annual output Of
the turkey.
Duck feathers sell at 40 cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double
the amount
Thirteen eggs are considered set
ting, though many breeders are now
giving fifteen.
Between forty and fifty degrees is
the proper temperature to keep eggs
for Matching during winter.
EGGS intended for Matching should
not be kept over four weeks.
It will require seven pounds of
skinned milk to equal one pound Of
lean beef for flesh-forming qualities.
One dollar per head is the average
cost of keeping fowl a year. and the
same amount is fair estimate of the
profits.
The eggs of the White Leghorn,
Black Minorcas and Houdan are Of
about the same weight as those of the
Light Brahma.
To fatten the turkeys. feed whole
corn at night and give them all they
win eat of other fattening foods in
the daytime. with plenty of clean
water.

SHIP FLIES u S. FLAG.
BRITISH STEAMER LUSITANiA
USES EMBLEM TO SAFE
GUARD AMERICANS.
SUBMARINES ARE REPORTED
Liner Warned by Steamer Baltic
Captain Ready to Save Passengers
Washington May File Protest
With England.

London, Feb. 9.-The British steam
ship Lusitania of the Cunard line,
which sailed from New York January
80 and arrived at Liverpool Saturday
afternoon, flew the American flag from
the time she passed Queenstown un-
til she entered the Mersey.
This is vouched for by American
passengers who crossed the Irish sea
aboard the vessel.
The Lusitania received wireless
message from the Baltic of the White
Star line that two submarines had
been sighted from that vessel.
Lusitania passengers who came
on to London said the submarines
we're believed to be German vessels,
and the action of the Lusitania in
hosting the American flag was one
effect of the newly announced policy
of Germany to sink all British mer-
chantmen found within the sea war
zone" delimited in the German adj
miralty's proclamation of a blockade
of the British Isles.
After the Lusitania was warned OF
submarines while off Queenstown
Capt Patrick Dow had the steamships
crew prepare lifeboats for instant use
II necessary.
Will Irwin, an American writer, says
the Lusitania carried the regulation
large American flag at the stern. with
a small American flag and mail pen
nant at the fOrepeak.
A British official said, however, that
inasmuch as the British government
had granted ships of other nations the
privilege of using the union jack to
escape capture it naturally felt that a
similar privilege would be granted to
it's ships in a similar emergency.
Washington, Feb. 9.-There is no
doubt that the United States govern
ment will make inquiry about the &C.
ton of the commander of the Lusi-
tania, though as matter of fact it in
volved no violation of any rule of in

there is no rule covering the practice.
