the same unyielding German militarist.
A few days afterward, when he re-
turned my visit, he asked:

"eW are willing to surrender Bel

tends to build An enormous fleet Of sub
marines with great cruising radius. In
the next war we shall, therefore, be able
completely to blockade England. So we
do not need Belgium for its submarine

discussed this subject at length.
THE ~Armenians," said W~angenheim,

be enemies Of the Turks, 1t is quite
apparent that the two peoples car never
live together in the same country. The
Americans should move some of them
to the United States, and we Germans

SELECTING AN INCUBATOR.

A large number Of reliable makes Of
tncubators are manufactured in this
country. Som machines have become
popular IN certain sections because they
were advertised extensively rather than
on account uf special adaptability to
the climatic conditions. Cheap ma
chimes are less reliable, require more
attention. and wear out much quicker
than hi~gher-prlCcd incuhators. AS the
value OF tho machines Is small COM
pared with the value of the eggs used
during the normal life Of an incubator,
II IL poor economy to purchase which
Is not reliable. Whenever possible II Is
well TO select an incubator which Is
giving good satisfaction in your vicin-
ity. SO That YOU MAY get the benefit Of
the experience of other operators.

A GOOD ~DIsINFEcTANT.

Good ~disinfectants destroy the
germs of contagious diseases, tho
external parasites, such as lice and
mites, and In some cases the eggs
Of parasitic worms, The eggs OF
some kinds Of worms are so resist
ant that disinfeCtants other than
heat have little effect upon them.
The diSinfectants should be thor
oughly applied to the Interior OF the
houses, worked into all the cracks
and Crevioes, spread over the cell
ings and the floor, the roOsts, drop
ping boards, and nest boxes. At
the same time the feeding and
drinking troughs should be disin-
iccted by pouring boiling water into
Them and a~fterward drying them in
the sun. DisinfectantS are most
easily applied to the walls and cell
lhgs with a spray pump or by using
a brush. AS it IL difficult to keep
them from coming into contact with
the face and hands, the more harm
less Of the mixtures should gener-
ally be used, Ordinary limewash
made from freshly slaked lime is
excellent. and its properties are
we'll known to all, In the case Of
an actual outbreak Of virulent dis
case II is well to add to the lime
wash six unCes Of crude carbolio
acid to each gallon, to increase its
activity az a dlsinfectant.

GRUESOME
RELIC Of MURDER

Joe Keate and w. s. Ball returned
Tuesday evening from a trip to the
scene of the murder of Hancock and
Taylor near Boulder canyo on the
Colorado river. They made a care
full examination of the locality in
hopes of being able to find some evil
dence which would throw light upon
the mysterious murder of the pros
p~ectors last January.
About $50 feet from the spot where
the crime a committed, they found
the ~prospector's pick fitted with a
long handle, which was the one car
ried by Hancock and Taylor on their
was known that they had this pick
at the time the murder was commit
ted, but search failed to reveal it.
1t appears that the murderer, af-
ter shooting the men down, took the
pick and drove it into the heads of
the fallen men to make sure of their
death. Then, after relieving them of
watch, shoes and other belongings,
he took the pick and started up the
trail.
After proceeding but a short dis
lance, he threw the pick out to n
side of the trail. The pick still has
adhering to it, blood and some hairs
from the heads of the murdered men.
There appears but little prospect
of ever apprehending the murderer.
The hunters have so far proceeded
upon the theory that the murderer
was Indian Queho, but there is doubt
in the minds of many that such is
the case.-lLas Vegas Age.
