BET,rBR HATCHING EGGS.

Brookings, March 5.-"Don't take the |
Matching eggs from the general egg bas-
ket," ADVISES Wilson Cramer, poultry |
instructor at State college. This prac-
tice," says he, probably hinders the
progress of the average poultry keeper
more than anything else, for it prevents
increase in the merit of the flock and in
the profits of the flock. There are two
methods of improving the quality of
Matching eggs.
"The first would be: To leg.band the
hens; and put in trap nests; operate the
trap nests during the breeding season;
mark the eggs from the desirable hens
and use only those for Matching. In adj
dition it would be necessary to mate
the entire flock with desirable male
BIRDS so that it would be absolutely cer-
tain that the chicks had the right kind
of male ancestry. The other method is
to have breeding pen where you can
confine a few Of your best hens and mate
them with specially selected or pur-
chased male. The pen can be in a small,
separate building, or it can be made by
putting temporary partition in one end
of the regular poultry house. OF these
two methods the latter will fit the needs
of the average poultryman. 1t does
not require as much labor or money to
put it into operation.
How to Choose Birds.
1t might be well to point out few of
the important things to be looked for
when choosing the birds for the breed
ing pen. Let us take it for granted that
the breeder is keeping pure breed.
Then the first thing to look for in his
breeding birds, both males and females,
is breed type. A bird that has breed
type is one that is of correct size; has
the correct comb shape; the correct body
shape, and the correct color for the par
ticular breed to which the individual
belongs. The next character to look for
and one that is of paramount Importance
is constitutional vigor. The reason that
our pure breeds have not reached a
higher general average from utility
standpoint is because they have been
selected largely for fancy feathers and
body shape, sacrificing the important
utility characters of size and especially
constitutional vigor
Constitutional vigor is Of Importance:
/. Because it determines to large ex-
tent the productive and disease resisting
capacity of the individual hen or male,
and 2. Because it determines largely to
what extent that capacity will be trans
mitted to the offspring. Constitutional
vigor is indicated by broad, short. deep
, head;a full, red comb; short, broad,
: we'll curved beak; large, bright, dark
t colored eyes deep. broad chest;a long
body, we'll supported in the abdomen; a
broad back, with well sprung rib; short
I stout, straight legs; good, heavy glossy
coat of feathers, and an active dispose
tion."

THE BLACK HILLS RANCHERS &
STOCK GROWERS ASSOCIATION.


An organization was recently effected
among few of our Ranchers and Stock
men which will prove of great benefit
not only to themselves but to the coun-
try, for it is bound to grow in member
ship and in time will exercise great in
fluence. Mutual interests naturally
bring men closer together, and the prime
movers in this Association are men of
experience and knowledge and will ac-
complish results for what they UNDER
take, and while at present there are only
few members, still they represent con-
siderable capital. The ranch and stock
intel rests are the mainstay of the Hills
and their trade is worth good deal to a
town. The name of the Association is:
"The Black Hills Ranchers & Stock
Growers Association" The President
of the Association is Il. w. McCrary;
Vice President, Joseph Kinder; Treas.
urer, L. j. Harman; Secretary, G. B.

A MORNINGS MAIL AT TIE FORD.

Mr.. T. v. Garlock, the local agent of
the Ford Motor Co., is in receipt of
letter from which we clip the following.
which would indicate that the 100000
car production has become a we'll es.

Each succeeding morning-mail is
breaking records these days in the sales
department of the Ford Motor Company.
Amazing figures, even for the Ford, are
becoming positively incredible figures.
For example, here is portion of one
mornings mail: Hood & Snyder of
Jewell, Iowa, ask that train-load of
Fords be shipped as soon as possible;
tie Repass Auto Company of Waterloo :.
Iowa, want train-load of Fords at once;
the Brownell Auto Co., Birmingham,

insist that 1000 Fords be shipped I'm

pany of Sioux City, Iowa, write for 1900
"or more if we can have them;" the
Becker Auto Company of Grand Rapids,
Mich, asks for d modest 700 cars i'm

BLOCKADE RUNNING
IN THE SIXTIES.

During the Civil War the most
profitable game anybody played was
that of blockade running, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. 1t was
so difficult to get cotton out of the
South that the price in Liverpool
rose to 20 times the normal figure.
Hence a ship that carried guns and
various munitions to the South and
then took home a load of cotton,
killed two prize birds with one stone.
English shipowners carried on a
great trade. The ship R. E. Lee,
built by the British at a cost of
$3.50, 900, very soon bore away ST.
900, 200 in gold.
Another ship made eight trips
from Bermuda to Wilmington, N. c.,
and earned a profit of 700 per cent
on the cost of the vessel. A third
boat made twenty-five such journeys
and earned still more. 1t was a haz-
ordous game. but the stakes were
high, and many a bold seaman was
willing to engage in it.

being perfected by w. G. Willard,
chairman of the committee in charge
of this feature, The parade will be
headed by brass bands, and each
class will have its banner, showing
the name of its church and city, and
various pennants and streamers will
also make the spectacle a lively one.
Although definite announcements
have not yet been made as to the
route of the parade, it is probable
that it will form at Central Church
and march through Church street
up to East Main street. Represent
atives of all intermediate, adult and
Wesley Bible classes, both men and
women, are expected to march in the
parade.
The merchants of the city are be-
ing asked by the committee to deco
rate their store windows and fronts
appropriately for the coming con-
vention, and the city will assume a
festive appearance.
A bureau Of information will be
established near the union station to
assign quarters to the visitors and to
help make their stay in Spartanburg
a pleasant and profitable one.

SUBMARINES TO FEATURE
BUILDING PROGRAMME.
Officials State That Appropriations
Will Be Asked for at Least Thirty.

Washington, July 9.-The next
building programme of the United
States navy will include estimates
for nearly double the number of sub
marines appropriated for by the last
session Of Congress. From officials
in close touch with the Administra-
tons plans for the navy it was
learned tonight that while the gen.
eral board would wait until Sep
:cEhcT Lccc-e making its recon-
mendations, at least thirty and prob
ably more submarines certainly
would be required.
Some naval officers of high rank,
who are being consulted, think as
many as fifty or seventy-fve subma-
rines would not be too many. The
last Congress in three sessions au-
thorized twenty-six submarines and
the United States has a total now of
nearly seventy in commission, or
building.
Within two years, the total, it is
estimated, may be brought up to
one hundred under-sea craft.

Lawn.-Dr. Moffatt On the Pro-
gram.

The complete program for the
third annual convention of the Wes-
lev Bible Glass Federation of the
South Carolina Methodist confer
ences, to be held the 10Th, goth and
21st of this month, was announced
last night.
This convention will in all prob
ability be the largest religious gath
ering ever held in South Carolina.
Members of the various Sunday
school classes of Methodist churches
throughout South Carolina will gath
err here to the number of upward of
1000. Speakers of national promi-
hence in Methodist Sunday school
work will be here to address the ses-
sions and the Sunday school workers
are expecting the convention to re-
suit in greatly increased efficiency
in all their classes.
Special excursion trains will be
operated from Anderson and Green
wood over the Piedmont G. Northern
railway and from Charleston and
other points in the lower section of
the state over the Southern railway.
Tuesday, the goth, will be the big
day of the convention. Meetings will
be held morning, afternoon and
night and at 6 o'clock in TIE after
noon a grand parade, composed of
men and women, members of the va
rious classes, will march through the

stood, favors a large building pro-
gramme. The action of the last
Congress in appropriating for six
teen submarines, when only eight or
more were asked for, is believed TO
have given the Secretary confidence
that the next session would be even
more generous.
While the attitude of President
Wilson on the question of submarine
building is not definitely known,
those familiar with his views, will
not be much surprised if he approves
an extraordinary large submarine
building programme.

/ Mr.. Henry Schoenstein died at
: his residence on Willow street, on
Wednesday evening last, and was
buried from the Catholic Church
on Thursday evening. Mr..
Schoenstein was German.
American citizen, he having been
born in Baden, Germany. The
long roster of American citizens
whose land Of birth was Germany,
is pronounced and conspicuous
by reason of the quality of those
who sought something better in
our America. The industrial his
tory of our land owes much to the
Germans.
The deceased came to this sec.
ton Of the country about twenty
eight years ago. and with small in
tervals OF absence, he has been a
resident and citizen Of this town
and parish. Mr.. Schoenstein was
married to Miss Elizabeth Hotten-
dorf soon after he became a citi-
zen, and got to be identified with
the business interests of this
town. Eight children, a widow
and two brothers, Messrs. Andrew
and Fritz Schoen stein, all of this
town, survive him and are left to
mourn his untimely death. Mr..
Schoenstein was comparatively a
young man, he being forty -eight
years of age. He was a devoted
husband and kind father, a good
citizen and loyal friend. He had
been a sufferer for several years,
but until the time Of a few weeks
before his death. he devoted all
his time and energies TO business
and to his family.

photoplay, "The Boss" is based
upon the successful play of the
same name. Michael Regain, Of
Irish descent, is a born fighter
This fighting instinct helps Regan
to success. He becomes bartcn-
der. then saloon proprietor, then
political boss. Regain becomes
prominent in politics. He also
buys up mortgages. His power
increases as his field of labor
widens. He gains the monopoly
of the grain shipping contracts
which before his advent had been
under the control of Griswold &
Son. an old established firm. Old
John Griswold aud his son are On
the brink of ruin. Regan's is a
two.sided nature. The man Of
iron, hard, merciless and CRATER,
and the man who feeds the starv-
ing, would give his life for his
friend and delight in the smile of
a child. While visiting and help
ing the poor, he meets and loves
Emily Griswold. In his hard,
fighting life, he has seen little of
women and Emily becomes fis
ideal. When the situation of the
Griswolds becomes desperate,
they ask Regan to visit them. He
comes and offers them relief
through an amalgamation o. in
terests. When questioned as to
his reason for this leniency, when
he has everything in his power,
he tells them he wishes to try and
win Emily for his wife, although
she does not love him. The Boss
is accused of murder he did not
commit. When jail faces him his
wife finds she really does love
him and shoulder to shoulder
they fight their way to success.
