GERARD's ACTION APPROVED

Washington, February 9.-Ambassador Gerard's refusal to enter into negotiations with the German foreign office is ap- proved by the state department as the only possible course for him to pursue In view of his status as a private citi- zen. Any communication from the Ger man government regarding a treaty on any other subject would have to be car ried out through the Spanish or Swiss diplomatic representatives in Berlin. wno are looking after the interests of Amer lea in Germany.
 The basis of the German proposition to reaffirm the old treaties Is found in the fact that this course was necessary to construe the conventions of the enact ment of seamen's act by Congress sev- eral years ago. That act terminated all treaties containing provisions in conflict with the new legislation for protection of seamen. It was provided, however, that other sections of the treaties not relat-

BRONZE TURKEY BEST KNOWN
Reaches Enormous Size-Do Not
Bear Confinement Well.

The largest and perhaps the best
known of the domesticated turkey is
the Bronze, sometimes called the Man,
moth Bronze. The male bird of this
breed reaches an enormous size some
times. The standard weight for the
tom is SO pounds and for the hen 20
pounds.
Generally the heavier weights are
found among the breeding birds, and
are not for sale. AS a matter of ex-
p%erience breeders find that the great
est demand for the holiday trade is for
the smaller birds suitable for a din
ner for an ordinary family.
The plumage of the Bronze is very
attractive. The feathers are bronze or
dull black with bands of white across.
The bronze tint gives pleasing color
effects.
One common objection has been that
the Bronze hen is not a very good
layer. But it is generally found that

laying is largely an individual CHAR
acteristic. Many prefer the Bronze
and generally this breed by far out
numbers the others on the holiday
market.
The Bronze turkeys are close de-
scendants of the American wild tur-
key, which is still found in some parts
of u country. The young of the
domesticated birds soon show a ten
dency to wander in search of food.
They can fly to an astonishing height
when it becomes necessary.
The young turkeys do not bear on
finement well. For anything like sat
isfactory results they should range in
the fields and pastures. They are very
useful in keeping down insects that
destroy crops, and many farmers
wives have sold enough turkeys dur
ing the season preceding the holidays
