AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE
Now York World,

Now York World
The three 'nitrd States Sen
atorS who are most active in max
ing Mexican mischief are Fall OF
New Mexico, Boixih Of Idaho and
Gallingcr of New Hampshire.
Senator Fall has extensive min
ing interests in Mexico. His-pur-
pose in helping to create a situa-
ton that would compel armed in
PREVENTION requires no cxplana-
ton.
Senator BOrah is one of the nu-
merons Republican aspirants for
the presidency, and is evidently
hoping for a Mexican issue.
Senator Gallinger is the old
guard leader of the Republican
minority in the Senate.
All three Of these eminent
statesmen are fearless and uncom-
promising in their attitude to-
ward Mexico. But, curiouslv,
enough, all three of them voted
for Germany and against the
United States on the armed
merchantmen issue They were
among the IA Senators who OPP
posed the tabling Of the Gore res
OlutiOn.
Associated to them in the busi-
ness of inflaming public senti-
ment against Mexico are all the
leading prO-German newspapers
in the United States headed by
the Hearst papers and the Chi
cago Tribune.
Readers may draw their own
conclusions from this statement of
fact.

VILLA WOUNDED.
Bandit Leader Reported to Have

Carranzaists.

Francisco Villa stopped long

American cavalry to attack the

Wednesday Of last week. Every

reported that the leo had TO be

From there the bandits moved
north to San Geronimo ranch
where they were attacked by Col.

seventh and tenth cavalry. At

60 dead in the field including

FOR SUCCESS WITH PIGEONS
Variety Of Good, Hard Grains Is ESSEN
tial-Not Advisable to Feed Birds
on Wet Ground.

A variety of good, hard grains Is
essential to success with pigeons, and
grains which are in poor condition
should not be fed. Old grains which
are hard are better than new soft
grains, especially for pigeons with
squads. Red wheat is considered bet
ter than white wheat by many pigeon
breeders. Good wheat screenings are
often fed with success, as they usu-
ally contain a variety of seeds. Vari-
Gus stimulating seeds, such as lentils
and vetch, are sometimes fed as a
tonic to breeding birds during the molt-
ing period.
The grain may be fed on the floor
of the pen, in troughs, or kept before
the birds in hoppers. 1t is not gen.
orally considered advisable TO feed the
grain on the ground, especially on
heavy soil where it may get wet and
moldy. Unless the floor is kept clean
it is better to feed the grain in troughs
than on the floor. The troughs should
be made so that the pigeons will not
roost on them and soil the feed with
their drOpplngS.
Hoppers are used with good success
but may attract rats in some pigeon
houses. They should be fitted with
wires or nails about two inches apart
so that the pigeons cannot waste the
feed by throwing it out onto the floor.
If the grain is not fed in hoppers the
pigeons should be fed twice daily, in
the morning and in the afternoon, at
regular hours, giving from one and
one-half to two quarts of grain at each
meal to 20 pairs of pigeons and add
ing an extra pint if the pigeons have
many squads. The feeder must regu-
late the quantity of grain according to
the appetite of the birds, giving them
all they will clean up in one to two
hours.

In Praise of the Cricket.

An old French saying is, "As silly as
II cricket" but Charles Dickens gives
this little musician quite a different
character in one of his most tender
domestic stories ever written, "The
Cricket on the Hearth, a Fairy Tale of
Home" The story takes its name from
the quaint description with which it
opens of trial of skill in the coy
home of an English carter between the
teakettle and n house cricket, in which
the latter gains the victory. ITO have

OLD HENS ARE UNPR0FITABLE
Aged Fowls Cause Low Average in Esq
Production-Three Years Is
Limit of Usefulness.

Old hens are the cause of low aver
ages in reproduction. The pullets
work regularly but the old hens lay
about a dozen eggs and rest the re-
mainder of the year.
Unless you are raising a particular
stock of chickens of which you have
only few hens, you cannot afford
to keep the old hens as layers. A hen
is not profitable after her third sum-
mer as layer. Selling the old hens
and using the incubator for Matching
is the best plan for the small poultry.
