Uncertainty of Supply Causes
Anxiety in Washington.
Diligent Efforts Being Made to Find
New Sources for the
Material.

WashingtOn.-The United States has
long depended for much of it's sup
ply of binder twine on henequen from
Yucatan. The uncertainty of the sup
ply during the past several years has
caused serious anxiety lest there
should not be enough binder twine to
harvest the increasing crops of grain
in this country, and the United States
department of agriculture has been
making diligent efforts to find new
sources Of supply or new regions where
binder twine fibers may be produced.
The chief of the bureau of plant in
dustry reports encouraging results.
The conditions in limited areas, eX-
treme southern Florida and on the
larger keys, are regarded as suitable
for the production Of sisal and hene-
quen fbers, provided the cost of land
and labor is not too high to permit sue
cessfuI competition. Henequen has
been cultivated successfully for several
years in Cuba and the plantations are
being increased, but thus far they pro-
duce scarcely enough fiber to supply
the cOrdage mills on the island. Con-
ditions are regarded as favorable for
the production of binder twine fiberS

much larger area in southern Santo

"Galerie Des Glaces." or the Gal
lery of Mirrors at the Palace of Yer
sailles, gets it's name from II beveled
mirrors, which were more precious
than rubies before glassmaking was
reduced to science. Opposite each
mirror is a window. these windows
overlooking the famous gardens which
were scenes Of royal revelries and
regal pomp.
In these gardens all the sculptors
of standing in France were COM
mandeered for innumerable pieces.
Piped waters spout from mouths of
gilded frogs and lizards. fauns play
flutes, and dragons kidnap cupids,
while stately old trees give one touch
of nature against this supremely
artificial setting in these gardens.
The mirrors are framed in works
of art and surmounted by paintings.
One series of these paintings depicts
in famboyant scenes the career Of
Louis XIV. Originally tables and
chairs in this hall were of solid sill
yer. The ensemble was typical of the
emptiness of the yoke from which
France freed herself.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

The greatest food and medicine on
cording to poultry grower. More
chicks die during infancy of white
diarrhea than perhaps all other dis
orders combined. The acid in sour
milk is poison to the germs of this
dreaded bowel trouble, while the sour
milk itself is relished by the young
birds and it is one of the most nour-
shing of all feeds.
Under apparently the most sanitary
conditions chicks from the incubator
or from hatchings by hens will con-
tract serious bowel troubles. Clean
conditions and careful disinfecting will
often check this trouble and lessen
danger, but they will not always act
as a cure preventive.
Many careful scientific and practical
tests have proved beyond doubt that
sour milk fed to baby chicks is one
of the very best preventives, and
even cures, for bowel troubles. 1t is
important to begin feeding the sour

will drink anything. 1t is even recon-
mended to pour a few drops of the
sour milk down the throat of each
chick as soon as it is placed in the
brOoder and before it is old enough to
drink or eat. The sour milk acts i'm
mediately as bowel disinfectant,
thoroughly cleansing the digestive
tract and starting the young bird out
in life free from bowel disease and
vigorous in every way. Chicks in the
brooder or with the hen may have sour
milk before them all the time to their
benefit, the milk serving both as a
medicine and a food.
Not only should baby chicks be CIV

daily, but it is we'll to use it in mix
ing their mash feeds. 1t is as valuable
as sweet milk as food, and much
safer to use with chicks. And there
is no better food and medicine for
growing chicks and laying hens.

Favorite Sites for "Paper
Towns" Along Great Lakes
Were at Mouths of Rivers

Sites of lake cities "located" in the
days OF wild speculation, before the
panic of 1897, were scattered here and
there along the shore of Lake Michi-
gan and Lake Huron. Promoters, en-
cOuraged by the sale of lots, would
spend little money in making small

nearest actual settler, would mark out
some streets and put up. in the midst

Favorite sites for paper towns" ac-
cOrding to John Bach McMaster's "His-
tory Of the People of the United
States" were at the mouths of small
streams. The buildings of one such
town. Port Sheldon, were of large
frame construction and we'll finished
without, but the bank was empty and
the hotel tenantless.
Port of Havre was another such pa

mouth of Maumee Bay. But the site
chosen was low and marshy, and

that marked it's streets. Another was

MAKING TRAVEL
BY AIR SAFER

it will be about 30 feet high when
fully extended-he will be able to call
up the nearest aerodrome on his wire
less telephone and tell them just what
field he Is down in and what his
trouble is. In such a case. if a man
cannot ascend again quickly, we shall
send another machine to him from the
nearest relief point, which will take
on his mails. We shall soon have a
system, both on the English and
French sections of the route, whereby
a pilot who has forced landing can
get into touch Immediately with the
nearest land agent of the service; who
will take over his mails at once and
send them on their way in fast mo-
tOrcycle.
The point is now demonstrated very
clearly that with a skillful pilot and
fast machine the only sort of at
mOspheric conditions which seriously
interrupts flying is such as we en-
counter sometimes on bad November
day, when an Opaque mist, beginning
almost at ground level, may extend

Hurting Through the Fog.
A pilot in an airplane, flying on
through a thick mist. is as unhappy
as a pedestrian in dense fog-only
more so. Not only is there the ques-
tion of finding his way, but he is
faced also by the embarrassing fact
that, through not being able to turn
