The fact that Senator Johnson was
in New York last week and said to be
in conference with the Democratic ma

the Maine campaign, and that he went
from New York to Maine only to re-

given color to the big Maine fund

that they would be placed on the black
list should they have any dealings
whatsoever with German concerns.
So broad is the scope of the act that
should any American firms deal with
those whose names appear on the
American list they may find them
selves added to it. Although with
holding comment until officially noti-
fed OF the development, many officials
are known to feel that it is no con-
Germ of Great Britain's if firms in the
United States or their branches abroad
desire to trade with German firms in
other countries, and that while Great
Britain might have the right to spec
ify what merchandise should be car
ried by her own ships, she has no right
to take discriminatory action against
the American concerns because Of the
business they do. This position, it is
said nv those who hold it, is amply
backed by precedent, Great Britain
herself having made objections to at
tempts to injure the trade of an enemy
ut the expense of neutral. These Of

by international law that the output

The Standard BrOOder.

Many brooders are merely death
traps for little chicks. One noticeable
feature of the Standard is the absence
of dead chicks. There is nothing more
discOuraging to a pOultrymsn than to
go morning after morning and find
dead chicks in his brooder. It's an
easy matter to hatch chicks. but to
raise them is where the puzzle comes.
The Standard is built to raise every
chick that can live under any condi-
ton. You can't afford to experiment
with a brood of several hundred chicks
in a brooder that you know nothing
about. The day of experimenting is
over with the Standard; It has proven
itself a success. If you will take q
little time to come and see the flOcks
of more than 500 that l have in a
Standard brooder, ! will convince you
Of the fact that the Standard Is an
ideal way of raising chickens in large
fOcks with little expense. II you
could come at night and see the Stand
ard mOtheTing the little babies, l feel
quite sure that the question of brood
ing would be settled. See them sleep
ing two feet frem the hover cloth,
breathing as pure air as you have In
your bedroom. The air under the
hover changes every fifteen minutes,
affording the purest warm air, should
weather conditions drive them there.

Poultry Editor, The Chronicle:
In attempting TO raise Guineas last
year, l lost ro.e tnau half Of my
broods. Their wings would droop,
and the youngsters would then develop
diarrLoea and Die. took good care OF
them and fed after the manner Of rails
ing young. chicks. What was the
cause for this and how may / remedy
it?
A.-The dropping of the wings is
not due to the fact that they grow too
rapidly, nor is it a disease. The trou-
bic is more than likely due to the fact
that the growth and development of
the body did not keep pace with that
of the wings. See my article that ran
week of January oath on the Feeding
and Raising of Young Chicks, and
adopt this method for your Guineas.
The bowel trouble or diarrhoea may
be avoided with guineas the same as
with young chicks (see article of Feb.

guineas, permit me to say that they
will be specially treated next week in

Banty Lewis Is Confident.

If Banty Lewis defeats Knockout
Brown in a ten-round bout at the
Pioneer Sporting Club, New York, on
Thursday night he should meet
Young Gradwell to decide the light
weight supremacy OF this section. 1t
will be remembered that Gradwell
handed out a terrific lacing to
Knockout Brown, in Olympic Park
more than a year ago, and 1t is now

if he contemplates mingling with
Gradwell Lewis has trained faith
fully for the match and he is conf
dent of victory. Brown, however, has
been meeting with considerable sue
cess in the squared circle of late. He
has met some pretty sturdy boys and
he has shown an inclination to return
to his old form, when he defeated
two worlds champions, Abe Attell,
the featherweight, and Ad Wolgast,
the lightweight. 1t is expected that
large crowd of Jersey fans will
attend the bout inasmuch as Brown
now makes his home in Arlington,
while Lewis halls from this city.
