An investigation is being made of the
facts of the case by the United Status
district attorney for the western district

that tho Chinaman was believed to be
insane and was wandering in ttie woods,
and that his assailants had been ar
rested. Attorney-General Olney has ap(oiiited
Edward Valker. of Chicago, a speral
attorney to represent the United States
in thu case of the suit against the com
missioner of Yew South Wales to the
World's Fair. Among the exhibits of
New South Wales were a lot of gold
nuggets. These were attached by a
traveling circus company which bad
recently been in Australia and alleged
that throiiuh the defective quarantine
arrangements of I bat country the circus
company had lost many valuable horses
They sought to recover on the nuggets
of thu New South Wales exhibit. An
examination of the law here discloses
the fact that a foreign government can
not be sued in a United States court
without its consent. Even if this point
were not conclusive, the government of
New South Wales in the circumstances
is a guest of the United Slates and en
titled to immunity, even if the allega
tions, so far unsubstantiated, were true.
The case will probably be dismissed if
pressed.

ties. Iu such certificates, where the
maximum rating of $12 per mouth is
allowed the certilicate will slate it is for
inability to earn support by manual
lalsir. Where less than the maximum
rating is allowed the certificate will
state it is for partial inability to earn a
living by manual labor. Whenever, in
tho case of a pension granted under the
said section at less than the maximum
rating and a higher rating is subse
quently sought, the application for such
higher rating shall be considered and
treated as a claim for an increase, and
not as a claim for a new disability, and
the increase, if allowed, will commence
from the date of medical examination
showing an increase of disability."

FARM AXD GARDEN.
Suggestions Worthy of the
Farmer's Consideration.
INTERESTING POULTRY NOTES.
Iou't Begin With Too Many Breeds
Keep Thoronglibreds Only
Ahont the Turkey.
Start out with good stock.
Endeavor to have your flocks uniform.
Keep everything clean; it will pay
you.
An extra dollar or two for a superior
breeding bird is money well spent.
A gooil supply of road dust or dry
earth and fine gravel are won h a gooil
many dollars to a poultry breeder dur
ing the winter.
One of the best remedies for damp
poultry-house floors, also an excellent
deodorizer, is air-slacked lime. Gas
lime is also good.
Do not neglect the water fountains.
Keep them filled with freth, sweet, clean
water. In rainy weather keep the yards
drained so that no impure water will be
where the fowls may drink it.
Do not destroy eggs that have been
deserted by the hen, or in cases where
the incubator lamp has gone out and
they have become cold. They often
hatch a good percentage of strong chicks.
Don't begin with too many breeds.
Select tlie one that best suits vour sur
roundings and stick to it. By careful
selection you can then build up'a strain
that will be satisfactory to yourself and
patrons.
Although a damp roosting place is an
abomination, fowls prefer a wet roost
free from vermin to a dry one that is in
fested with them. This may explain
why some people's chickens "prefer to
luool on trues.
It may be taken as a very good rulo
that short-legged will fatten juore rap
idly than fowls " well up on their pins."
This is important to the broiler raiser,
whose object it is to get nice, plump birds
as soon as possible.
Keep thoroughbred fowls only. There
are enough breeds and enough sizes,
shapes and colors for any purpose. With
a mixed Hock one cannot lay down any
set of feeding rules or glean any reliable
information from his statistics. In other
words, he never knows where he is at.
Always keep shells and grit before
your fowls, and for confined birds straw
or refuse bay, cut about one-third of an
inch in length, should be furnished
them. Besides tlie much-needed exer
cise obtained by scratching in it for seeds
and grain, ttiey will eat a large portion
of it.
The turkey is an industrious forager,
land picks up the greater portion of its
food; therefore the dillerence in tlie
i weiglit of a large and small bird is an

cost ot production down to a low sum
when large and small weights are com-
pared.
,
There is one advantage of hatching
VhiVk3. during winter in California, and
" ''1 f'e,',lol" from vermin, which does
J101 "urease nenny so rapidly as during
hite spring and summer weather. This
is where the incubator proves of great
value to the poultry mber, as it is next
io impossible to get a satisfactory supply
tetting hens before February and
ollen later.
LOOK AFTER THE MANURE.
It is not necessary for experimental
stations to tell
us that nn.nilies kept
continually exposed to rain and sun
answer, but the second is ol no very dif
ticult solution. Mix manure liberally
with absorbents, and keep tindir lover.
Many old-fashioned bams contain no
cellars for storage of manure; and, for
that matter, there aro very potent objec
tions to putting manure right under
stock, so that poisonous gases will con
tinually arise to befoul tlie air above.
Why not build a cheap "lean-to"
against the barn to cover the manure
which is cast out? This may be made
very rough and inexpensive aiid provided
only with a roof (sides would be better).
The idea, of course, is to prevent the wa
ter from eaves and skv from leaking
through the manure and removing tho
best and most available portions. Bed
tlie stock well with straw and absorb
ents sufficient to retain all the liquid,
says a writer in Practical Farmer. Land
plaster is excellent to fix the ammonia
that gas which is so easily lost; and coal
ashes, as they come perfectly dry from
the stove or furnace, are good'for the
same purpose. It is well known that
the ground beneath a manure pile be
comes saturated with fertility ; so it is
wise to remove this soil to a depth of six
to ten inches, cart it way and replace
with a quantity of new, dry soil, which
in turn should also lie drawn out and
spread on a field or meadow. The mat
ter of saving manure cannot be looked
into too closely. It is folly to depend
on commercial fertilizers when much of
our own manure goes to waste.
watering tub seedbed.
American Gardening savs : It is com
mon among amateurs and" some profes
sionals who sow seeds of various kinds,
either in or out of doors, whether the
soil is moist or not, to water it imme
diately after sowing. From repeated
trials 1 have found the aliove practice to
be a serious mistake. If the soil or com
post in which the seeds are sown is moist
at tlie time of sowing, do not water, as
the soil la-comes still" and forms a crust
on the surface, which prevents the seeds
from pushing through. After sowing
the seed in anv soil, except an extremely
dry one, wait a dav or two before
watering, until the soil dries up pretty
well. Then water gently with a line
sprinkler sutficientlv to moisten the soil
moderately throughout, which will suf
fice until the soil shows signs of dryness
aeain. Do not do a a great nianv'do
give a little sprinkling evervdav." This
only makes tlie rase worse. '
