FEATHER EATING HENS.
Exercise the Most Satisfactory Remedy
For This We.

Exercise tne MOST SATISFACTORY nS"SuJ
- For This Niee.
Feather eating is one of the vicious
habits which fowls acquire when too
closely yarded and when not given
plenty to do, says Better Farming. Of
ten the only birds that are not at
tackled are the ones that are doing the
damage to the others. Suspicion
should therefore be attached to them
first. The fowls must therefore be
watched to discover the offenders. I'm
less they are of special value and I'M
less the habit is common in the flock.
it is best to get rid Of these birds.
The most satisfactory remedy for
feather pulling is to keep the fowls
busy. Instead of feeding cut bone OF
beef scrap in chunks let the meat be
still attached to the bones and hung
where the fowls will have to jump fol
It. Do the same with cabbage, man
gels and other green feed. Strips Of
hard. dry meat are also good because
the fowls will pick at them and thus
be kept busy. Whole grain should al
ways be fed in the litter so the fowli
will! have to scratch for it. The wors
offenders should always be removes
from the flock ana made to work fo
4 their living.

Schiller May Spend Life
In u. S. Prison for Piracy

Ernest Schiller, solo pirate. Is likely
to spend tho rest of his days in n United
States prison. rather than face punish
ment by England for his action In hold
ING up the British steamer Matoppo.
Authorities on wartime law hold to-
day that Schiller undoubtedly would he
considered as a pirate and be sentenced
under section go of the law OF 1893.
which says:
"Whoever on the high seas commits
tho crime of piracy as defined by the
law of nations, and afterward Ia
brought into or found In the United
states, shall be imprisoned for life"
Naval lawyers think this statute pre-
cludcs the possibility OF turning Schiller
over TO England, although his alleged
piracy was committed on an English
ship on the high seas.
Under prior laws Schiller could not
fare so easily as under the present
statute. Death used to be the only
punishment this government could i'm
pose upon pirate.

Hearing on the application of H. Rob-
ert Fowler, former representative in
Congress from New York. and Henry

to prevent their removal to New York

the strikes and walkout at munition
plants. was in progress late this after
noon before Justice Gould of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. Because of the
illness of Herman Schulteis. Jointly in
dicted. the hearing on his application
for a review of the decision of United
States Commissioner Taylor was post
poned indefinitely.
Attorney Henry E. Davis for the ac-
cused urged that the Indictment
charges no offense. He also claimed
that the indictment does not contain
allegations sufficient to show the de-
PENDANTS or any Of them are probably
guilty of the offense supposed to be
charged by the indictments.
Assistant United States Attorney
Archer contended that the Indictment
sufficiently charges a crime and urged
that the ruling of Commissioner Taylor
should be sustained by the court, and
the men ordered to appear in New York
to answer the indictment.
