BE KIND TO THE ,HENS.
W. W. CoX, in a reeent issue of the
Poultry Review, wrote: ---"Observant
people who have charge of horses and
cattle know that kinduess U0wi1 to
animals always pays. It is possible
that some horses that have been badly
used may not do tlteir best under a
new driver who is gentle in his lan-
guage and. does not use the whip to
urge them to their work, but it is
delightful to see a well-trained Pair
of horses in the hands of a sensible
driver, who late made the team his
friends by his gentle and friendly
manner, straighten themselves for
a steady pull and an unusually heavy
load when the driver speaks mem-
agingly to them. You can almoet see
their sense of appreciation at what
Is expected of them, by the flash ot
their eyes as they settle themselves
down for an extra show of their
strength in anewer to a call of a
friendly and encouraging voice.

fects of .harsh and brutal treatiment

"A hen's brains are not as large as

Just as sensitive to the sort of treat-
ment they receive. No hen or flock of
hens will do their best if kept in a
state of constant fright by rough

iarly susceptible to quice and unex-
pected motions and will be panic-
stricken ilt an instmet by a sudden

taine enough to be handled without
being afraid,
"To make one's way into the good
graces of a flock of •hens. it is neces-
sary to move quietly when in the
coop or yard with -them and to keep
up a running talk with them. It does
not matter what you say—only let it
be in n gettle aud reassuring tone,
being careful not to frighten them
by any sudden movement, especially
above their heads. If you will fre-
quently take them some dainty morsel
from the house or a few worms or
lags they will soon be ready to come
to you without fear. By keeping a
flock of hens thus -happy and content-
ed they will lay more eggs for you
tuid you will enjoy your work among
them."
ANOTHER EGG -LAYING CONTEST.
At least three American hens and
three British hees are in a close
rece to be tee first to reach the 200
egg. mark in the first eight months of
the National egg laying contest at
Mountain Grove, Mo. An American
hen has only ten eggs to lay in fif-
teen days to make a record of 200
eggs in eight mouths. All these hens
lave made a better record so far than
Lady Showyou had made at this time
last year, The leading pen record.
thus far this year is twenty eggs
ahead of the leading pen record at
this time last year. The English pen
of single comb 'White Leghorns is
259 eggs in the lead of its nearest
competitor. Two of the his in this
pen did not lay an egg in June, and
if this continues some of the other
pens may yet easily overtake them.
June was a scorcher Missoute.
Several deaths were reported In. dif-
ferent aections of the State as a re-
sult orthe beat. It was, of course,
also hard on the hens. There were
iii broody contest hens in broody
coops at one time this month. Thirty
eight were put up one day and twettty
five anther. and suck a large per
cent. benig broody at once cut down
the egg yield for June. Other con-
tests which had nearly 50 per vent. of
their peps composed of Leghorns had
less broody hens, of course, and made
a little higher average for June. The
total yield for June was 10,411 eggs,
and the grand total to date is 70,380
eggs. The Leghorns in the North Am-
- •erican contest at Storrs, Conn., had
made about the gime average up to
June 1 as had the Leghorns in the
Missouri contest. The larger breeds in
Missouri had made averages a little
higher than the same breeds in Con-
necticut as a rule. At the present
time the records are very neeriee
the same on the average,
NOTES.
Hens for hatching and brooding are
to be recommended where it is con-
venient to use them, for as a rule
naturally raised chicks are much more
vigorous than artificially rdaised ones
Of course, where large „numbers are
being raised, or when hatching is
being done out of the natural season,
artificial means are necessary.
When Leghorns, or any of the light-
er and more active breeds, are kept
in an orchard tiome provision must be
made to keep them from flying into
and roosting in the trees, or consid-
erable diffieulty may be had in get-
ting them to winter quarters. Clip-
ping one wing as soon. as they show
eigns of flying is one means and is
very effective,
Fowls to produce well must be kept
tame. At feeding time, when the birds
are hungry, and you have from one

spared, sit or kneel down, at the
usual feeding place with the bucket
of feed and throw out a little of the
feed near you, gradually 'shortening
the distance front day to day. In this
way the birds may be able to ap-
proach rather Close, and after a few
trials they will usually eat from one's
hand.—flay IL White Maryland Ag-

"Middlemen" have been savagely abus-

itself on the attention of those who crit-

He was Not on the Early Morning
'Yob, But the Kaiser Was.
Some time ago the kaiser heard
that a captain in one of the guards
regiments at Potsdam had fixed the
regulation hour of sehooling for his
men at te o'clock in the morning., The
kaiser, thougb doubting the fitness
of such an early hour for the lesson
and the ability of the popular young
()Edger to keep up to this rather ex-
acting standard of early rising, said
nothing, but one day walked into the
barrack room at 6 o'cloce.
The captain was not there, but the
emperor showed neither annoyance
nor surprise. He asked where the les-
son was to be found in the books,
and without more ado, to the mingled
anxiety and delight ot the men, he
took the lesson in hand and explained
the passage in hestory witTor was the
subject of the day. It was nearly 7
o'clock when the captain showed him-
self. The kaiser returned his salute
and made no allusion to his crest-
fallen countenance, but handed' him
the lesson. book after pointing how
far the class had got, and then left
the room.
Nothing more was said or heard
about the incident until a few days

SUNKEN TREASURE.

Turkish-Egyptian Vessels in
Navarino Bay.
One of the most romantic, and at the
*tame time the matt promising huntfor

the Bay of Navarino, on the west coast
of Orem, where 63 Titrkish and Egyp-

Of these 03 vessels, 43 have been lo-
cated and buoyed; many of them are
known to bave gone down with specie
and other treasure on board, and apart
from tide, the value of the actual ma-
terial of the ships and their guns is es-
timated at an immense sum.
A company has been formed, under
the title of the Navarino Bay Salvage
Company, to recover the treasure and
anything that may be of value, in the
ships themselves. The secretary, Mr. E.
W. Gage, told how the salvors will go
to work, and what they expect to find,
"All the existing reeords that might
throw any light on the size and arum -
anent of the sunken ships have been
most carefully examined, '• he said,
"and frem the despatehea of Admirel
drington hhnsel f, and Troia other
sources, we have been able to ascer-
tain definitely the size and nature of
practically every vessel that was sunk
in the engagement.
"It is thus possible, for instance'to
estimate at the bottom of the bay

froeili'hen there are the guns. Accord-
ing
Admiralty, 2,106 guns went down
in the Turkish and Egyptian ships. One
thousand three hundred of these guns
were- made of bronze-- which is worth
ing to the records preserved. at the M-
a() to £60 per ton—and the ay.
erage weight of each gun may eafely be
put at four tons."
The salvage of these materials alone
should amply repay the venture; but
there is also more than a possibility
•that the divers will find gold in specie
and other forms.
Certain notes, written Just before the
engagement, and found among the pap.
ers of the Egyptian admiral, referred
to the money in the possession of the
two commanders of the fleet. Muharem
Bey, the Egyptian admiral, had in hie
vessel two millions of dollars, twenty
large bag,3 of money, and ten thousand
gold dneats; and the Turkielt admiral,
Iliraltim Pasha, stated in a, note that
bis ship went down with gold and jewels
worth not less than £4,800,000. It is
more than likely that some of the other
ships carried opeeie and other valu-

Will Huerta Announce His
Retirement?
Washington, Sept. 14—Important
developments in the Mexican situa-
tion are expected here in the next
two days. To -morrow the bleXieell
Congress assembles and there is it
hopeful feeling in Washington that
President Iluerta in his addreas to
that body will ma,ke known that he
will not become a candidate for the
Presidency in the constitutional elec-
tions. There aro fears that patriotic
fervor may lead to demonstrations
against the -Wilted States.
However, adviees to the State Dee
Pattment are to the effect that ef-
forts of the eluerta Governmeut to
make the celebration the occasion for
a great patriotic outburst with the ob-
ject of showing how strongly General
ilueita, anti his Administration, are
entrenched
In the hearts of the people
have not met with success. This leth-
argy is interpreted to mean that the
Mexican people are tired of the con-
tinual warefare and will *welcome
peace. Should the celebration of the
holiday take on an aspect of silent dis-
approval of the Government's 'course
officials here will be encouraged to
believe that the end of the Mexieatt
troubles are in sight and that over-
tures for a restoration of normal con-
ditions will be welcomed shortly by
all factions in the Republic. .
Should General Huerta publicly an-
nounce that he will not be a eandi-
date for President in next month's
elections this Government will follow
out its course in asking General Huer-
ta to give assurances along the line
that has been indicated, and that the
, mission on which ex -Gov, John Lind
was bent to Mexico by President Wil-
son bas been successful in the main.
With Huerta, out of the Presidential
race, the 1J. S. Government will be
willing to accept the result of the
eleetions. As has been told in these
despatches, President Wilson and his
advisors are now of the opinion that,
as the Merle. Government controls
the most populous portion of Mexico,
elections held within the Heterta terri-
tory will be regarded as being suffi-
ciently general to justify the recogni-
tion of the President chosen, provided
the elections are "fair and free."
It is estimated by officials here that
four-fifths of the population of Mexico
are concentrated within the territory
cOntrolled by the Fedora's. While the
constitutionalists or revolutionists are
in' control of more than half of Mexico
the number of people in these sec-
tions is said to be only about one-
fifth of the entire population, The
Wilson Administration has therefore
come to the conclusion that elections
ill which four-fifths of the voting pop -
illation participate may properly be
regarded as popular elections.

A STORMY TRIP
U. S. Army Transport Had
a Hard Passage.
San Francisco, Sept. 14—Escaping
from it cyclonic storm, during which
the vessel was badly battered and
passengers donned life preservers to
be ready for emergency. United States
Army transport Logan arrived to -day.
Ca,ptain George H. Pierce, who for
elle last year had been master of the
transport Dix, died on the Logan. Ile
was put aboardthe vessel at Naga-
saki, but soon after died of apoplexy.
. Passengers on the troopship give
greet credit to Captain Williams. and
the - officers of the vessel for the
manner in which they handled the
big craft during the cyclone, It eVae
on the evening of Sept. 2 the storm
first broke over the ship. Three hours
eater seas began sweeping the decks.
The cabins on the starboard side were
swept time after time by the seas,
and the occupants, including women
'anti ltitle children, began taking re-
fuge in companionways. The mizzen
truck, that supports the wireless
equipment, was snapepd oft and all
the equipment wires were torn froni
Midi. sockets, putting the system out
'of business. Ventilators were carried
-a:Way and several lifeboats damaged.
The seas even swept the bridge of
the Logan. Officers were 'lashed to
their posts of duty. Lying in the
trough of the sea the vessel rolled
like a cork. 011 in tremendous quanti-
ties was thrown overboard and less-
ened the thrift° rolling.
' In the saloons little children, sons
and daughters of army and navy offe
cers, clung sobbing to fathers and
mothers. Many women were pray-
; hoe while husbands and fathers, offi-
cers in the service, comforted their
families.
After six hours the ship eecaped
from the cyclone, but it was not for
two more hours that the vessel re..
eumed her course.
