weight of prominence to meet him.
Willard turned Fulton down because
the Rochester giant lacks a record
which would be a drawing card in a
championship fight. -
Frank Moran, a smaller man than
Fulton, has turned the latter down
for much the same reason. There is
no chance to say Frank is afraid Of
Fulton. He has proved his game

Plan for Marking Chickens

Inquiries have been received ask
ing how chickens can be marked 80
as to be able to identify them indi-
vidually and also collectively; that is,
hens from pullets, etc. Above is an
illustration which shows the principal
way OF marking poultry.
Those who keep a very close tab on
their layers through the use OF the
trap nest, need to have the birds
marked as shown at /. band made

different styles, two Of which are

guish between birds Of different ages,

run together, the band shown at may
be used. This Is made of celluloid
and twists on to the leg. THESE bands

AVERAGE HAUL OF PRODUCTS
Instance Placed at 6.5 Miles by De-
partment of Aericulture-Good
Roads Are Needed.

The federal department of agricul.
ture states that the average haul of
farm products from field to market ia
6.5 miles.
The importance of good roads need,
little more illustration than this. With
a solid roadbed, six-mile haul is
cheap and easy. With the roads

In many parts of our land at the

posed land and colonization scheme
around Magdalena bay.
The investigation made by the stats
department under the direction Of Sec.
rotary Knox did not disclose that any
foreign government was directly In
terested In the project. A full relprt
was made to the senate on the subject,
Nevertheless, the senate thought Il
wise to pass the resolution introduced
by Senator Lodge, which was in sub
stance a declaration that the United
States would regard the establishment
OF any foreign power at Nagdalena
| bay as an unfrlendly act. This was 4
notice to Mexico as well as to Europe
, and Asia.
Magdalena bay itself Is thoroughly
known to the American navy. When
President Roosevelt started the Amer
lean heet around the world, Pornrio
Dlaz seized the opportunity to show
his friendship for the United States and
to demonstrate that he had no fears Of
Interior purposes on our part. He en-
tended the hospitality Of Magdalena
bay as a naval station for three years.
La Paz, which is on the gulf, has
been used as coaling station by the
United States. The station is not far
from the old cove which was the rem
devious of the Dutch pirates In the
days when the Gulf of California was
known as the Sea Of Cortez.
La Paz is actually the metropolis of
Lower California. Tho United States
maintains consulate there, and there
used to be a small American colony
engaged In business. There were also
some adventurous Americans who did
not know just why they were there.
Should the military leaders Of what
exists of the Mexican army In Lower
California decide to set up dictator
snip and call 1t a republic La Paz
would be the center of a good deal Of
interesting news. But there would alIo
be interesting news from Ensenada, on
the Pacific coast which is much nearer
to American territory and with which
communication Is much easier.

WHY PEDIGREES ARE USEFUL
Purebred Is Result of Careful SeIec-
ton Nnd Use Of Animals With
Strong Points.

An animal in some ways resembles
river, which is the result of the COM
bining of many streams. The animb
is the result of the combining of the
blood lines of parents, grandparents,
great-grandparents and so on. If ono
OF the streams is muddy, though the
rest be clean, the whole river becomes
murky, and likewise one poor ances-
tor Will weaken the animal. That is
why pedigrees are kept. They do for
the animal what keeping the muddy
stream from flowing into the river
does for the river. The purebred is
the result of careful selection and use
of the animals with strong points and
just as careful an elimination of those
that could not add strength or quality.
