peals of San Francisco has reversed the
decision ol Judge liautord in the Dit
trlct Court in the cases of the British
tug Lome and Pilot, which were fined
for towing American vessels in Amerl'
can waters. The defense 01 the tugs
was that as the towing was partly done
on tbe Urtllsh side of tne boundary run
ning through the Straits of Fuca, they
came within tbe exception in the law iu
lavor ol tuga towing partly in Amerl
can and partly In foreign waters. Judge
Hsnlord held that the Straits of r uca
art common to both nationa, and that
no part of them can be described at for
eign water. The Court of Appeals held
that tbe water north of the center line
of the StraiU are foreign waters within
the meaning of the statute and that, if a
foreign tug towing an Ameiican voetel
in from the ocean tows it partly north of
of that line, It cornea within the excep
tion made in the law forbidding the
towing of American vessels in American
water by foreign tugs. Foreign tugs
can claim the benefit of this exception
nnleas it can be shown that tbe partial
towing in foreign water is don in bad
faith, oot In tbeee cases no claim of bad
faith was let np. The question is to be
finally decided by the United States Su
preme Court, United State Iistrict
Attorney Winston bavin asked for a
stay of proceeding until be can sue for
writ of error in that court.

Incubators Render the Poultry
Business Successful.
VERY FEW USE THE OLD METHOD.
The Farmer Who Cannot Make It Pay
Under tbe Old System Should
Try an Incubator.
There are a few farmers who still show
an inclination to cling to the old method
ot batching eggs and not to adopt the
incubator; but it must be laid, write
4.nnieC. Webster in the Albany Journal,
that they are generally the ones who du
not make the poultry business tureens.
ful. Artificial hatching is one of the
greatest inventions for the poulteierever
discovered, and every spring ami fall it
comes into play to make money for thine
who would raise chickens for the market.
The mother hen is good enouuh when
one raises only a few chickens for home
use; but, if they are raised for market,
the Incubator ia indispensable.
Artificial-hatching machines are now
used all over the country. If it were
not for these, it would lie doubtful if the
great demand for broilers in the early
epring could be supplied. The price for
the spring chickens would go up so high
that very tew could aflbrd to live on
chicken meat. Near the largn cities
thousands of chickens are hatched uut
by these methods on tingle farinn.
There is money in it, for in the early
spring it is not unusual for the poulterer
to get as high as $2 per pair f r his birds.
At this rate a flock of Irom 600 to l,0u0
would pay a handsome sum. By use of
the incubator two flocks per year can be
hatched. One is brought into existence
in time to meet the spring trade in young
poultry, and the other late in the full to
take advantage of the demand for broil
ers jiiBt before and around the holidays.
By such a double arrangement one is
kept busy all the time, and a good in
come is reaped.
Incubators have been greatly improved
within the last few years, and it is not
difficult now to get one which will on
the average hatch out over 90 per cent,
of the eggs. These beat the old hen
greatly, and when it it considered that
the incubator will accommodate about
fifty times as many as the hen there
really seems to be no comparison. The
Initial expense is not to great. The in
cubator really costs less than many of
the farm implements which farmers need
for field crops. A little study and ex
periment will make one fairly proficient
in handling the incubator successfully.
A farmer who cannot make the poultry
business pay under the old system should
try an incubator, and if be does not suc
ceed, there must be some fault with his
methods. Now is the time for hatching
tbe spring broilers, and many will reap
a big profit in supplying tbia trade from
the incubator-hatched cliickeua.
Worms In Sweet Corn.
The egg that makes tbe eweet-corn
worm ia stung into the young tender
husk of the corn about the time of silk
ing or grain-forming time by moths or
millers that have instinct or nature
enough about them to guide them in the
right time, way and place in which to
lay their eggs. These eggs soon hatch
out the young worms, which commence
to teed on the tender grains at once, and
they continue to eat until fully grown,
when they drop off (if not disturbed be
fore) on the ground and work their way
down into the ground, where they form
a chrysalis that will next season produce
a butterfly or miller ready for busineus
again. Now these millers never lay eirgs
on cabbage or melons, but on corn only;
so the matter of changing land for corn
hat nothing whatever to do in the cane.
So that, if a field that was grown in corn
last year had been sown in rye last fall
and these millers should come out in the
rye field this spring, they are not going
to waste any time in laying eggs on the
rye, but are going to travel until they
find corn.
These egg-laying millers are all migra
tory, and they will find the right place
to ueposit their egga before they stop.
The reason that some varieties are more
infested with the worms it because they
happen to shoot out at the, right time for
the laying season of the millers. Some
times our first early com catches tkem,
and again the first early will mist them
and the second early catch them.
This corn worm is unlike the cabbage
worm, for there is onlvone brood a year,
and when they are grown they are done
ior that year, tome seasons tliev are
very bad, and other seasons have but
few, just as the season happens to tie fa
vorable or unfavorable for them. They
teem to prefer sweet corn.
i
POINTS ABOUT POULTRY.
Oats sown as a ion as tha ground can
be worked afford early pasture. Use
seed liberally.
The hens work for a dust bath every
bright day they get ont. One ought to
be fixed under cover for them.
Whatever diet the fowls receive, keen
them dry. Who ever saw a flock full of
song and eggs on a wet, sticky floor I
Lettuce is one of the lHt early sreens
for supplying shut-in flocks. A small
bed in the garden will yield a large
amount.
"The egga broke in the nest" is a bad
record for choice settings. Be sure the
breeding pens have enough lime-containing
food to inclose their products in good,
hard cases.
The feed makes the eaa. Ground oats
and corn equal parts, their weight of
bran and the mass moistened with ekiui
milk make a solid diet for the production
of eggs of high quality.
Beeta may be safely town early. A
dozen rows in the garden will keep the
yarded flock supplied with green food all
summer and perhaps furnish a juicy
meal for the cowe once or twice besides.
No vegetable equals tbe sugar beet for
fowls. Begin to thin them earlv.
