The bill will be called up under the five-minute rule Tuesday and will be placed upon its passage before adjournment of that day. There la little doubt that It will pass the house on a straight party vote. A night session was held to complete the discussion, inasmuch as the Dem ocrats were forced, because of a tem porary lack of votes, to devote Monday to consideration of the committee dis charge calendar. Accusing the Democrats of hav ing abandoned their free trade prin cipals in the framing of the wool tariff revision bill, and declaring they are as much one-man ruled as tng they are as much one-man ruled as they overcharged the Republicans with having been. Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York, made the principal speech in the wool bill debate today. With the intention of closing general debate on the bill, the house held a night session tonight and representatives fa voring and opposing the bill were given a chance to speak. Chairman Underwood hopes to reach a vote on the measure probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the com mittee which prepared the Payne-Aldrich tariff measure, acused the Dcemocrats of having gone back on their free trade principles in woolen bill. Referring to the farmers' free list bill, he said: “No such crude measure ever before was brought into this house by any com mittee. There is not a man on either side who can tell within 115,000,000 to $5«.000.000 what difference it would make tn the revenue." Representatives Foster, of Illinois, and Mays, of Florida, spoke in favor of the| bilk Mr. Payne declared Mr. Underwood in his opening speech on the bill made an I “egregious blunder,” a mistake of 185,-1 004.000 In his explanation of the treasury statement whereby he defended the par- I tial duty kept on wool in the bill as due to the necessity of revenue. "Do you remember" asked Mr. Mann, "when on opening speech on a tariff bill has not appeard in the Record a few days after its delivery? Mr. Underwood’s speech has not yet been printed.” In defense of Mr. Underwood Repres-1 sntative Harrison, of New York, said the ; reason the speech had not been printed was because Mr. Underwood's duties I trere so heavey he had not had time to go over it- In regard to the wool schedule of the Payne-Aldrich law, Mr. Payne' said: “I wanted to revise and equalize the wool schedule and equalise the du ties. But I yas not able to carry it 1 through." He made a defense, however, of the bill as a whole Mr. Payne declared the real reason the Democrats hadn’t put raw wool on the tree list was because "some gentlemen | at home had said it would ruin them and ' their state if there was no duty on. wooL” As to one-men power he said it “makes no difference whether it Is one man who' enforces the rules in the speaker’s chair i and yho appears in the open or whether' he pulls the wires that control the cau-1 —cu»i are about as free as the white | slaves we hear so much about." At the night session. Representative, Martin, of Colorado, a Democratic mem- I ber from a sheep-growing state, declar- | ed he was being attacked by the Repub lican press in his district for yielding | to the pledge of the Democratic caucus i •n the Underwood bill. "Down here in Washington." said Mr. i Martin, “the Republicans are abusing thg , Democrats for selling out to the sheep i states and out in the sheep states the | Republicans are abusing us because the < sell-out was not complete.” Representative Dyer, a Missouri Repub- . lican. attacked the biU. declaring it would work great harm to the sheep in dustry of his own state. "Free raw wool would • wipe out the sheep industry altogether in Missouri," ! he said. Representative Cullop, of Indiana, sup- . porting the bill, assailed the Republican I ergwirnent of protection for American 1 workingmen “The great danger to American labor," be said, "Is not in the importation of ■ foreign goods, but in the foreign la- | borers shipped into this country annu- I ally by our great captains of industry to take the places of American working men at lower wages.” BIG DISTILLERY BURNS, LOSS PLACED AT SIOO,OOO ST. LOUTS, Mo., June 17—Fire late tonight destroyed the eevent-story build- | tng occupied by the Jack Daniel Distill ing company, and an adjoining lumber ; yard- The loss was estimated at SIOO,OOO. * The flames were confined to the distil- > lery and the lumber yard, but at times they threatened to spread to nearby milling and wood-working companies. Two thousand barrels of bonded whis- I fcy were destroyed. The fire was within three blocks of I the fires of Thursday and Friday nights. I which caused losses of $1,300,000.

This building, as are others on the place, is thoroughly creosoted, and of a very modern type. The house is raised several feet from tbs ground for the doable purpose of keeping insects from the house and making a shady Plaoe. where the birds can hover on hot days. Mo. 3—Just a few of the White leghorne on the farm. There are more than 1,000 of these birds, aU raised within the past eight weeks by Mr. Freligh, who started his farm without a single old bird.

Poultry breeders, particularly i those who have just started their farms are easily found, especially in this section of the south, but beginners who admit that they are breeding chickens on theory are few and far between. One of these beginners, who admits that six months I ago h edida’t know a Black Minorca from a Barred Plymouth Rock is E. M. Frellgh, the popular cashier of the Ca ble Plano company, when he is In town, and the manager of the Piedmont Heights Poultry company after office houra. Mr. Frellgh very logically declares that it doesn't take a man of lifelong expe rience in the poultry business to make a success as long as there is so much chicken literature floating about, and so many men who have had plenty of ex perience, and who are very willing to give the beginner the benefit of their knowledge. , Mr. Frellgh accepts of the word of experts, swears by Loring Brown. And that his way of going about staining In the poultry business is a good one Is shown by the fact that without the pur chase of a single bird he started Into the business on Marqh 27 of this year and now he has over 1,«» healthy little White Leghorns scratching about the place. CAUGHT POULTRY FEVER. About five months ago Mr. Frellgh be came hiodculated with the poultry germ, which has been raging about the south for some time now. He read quite a bit of “dope” about chickens and determined to start a practical poultry farm of his own. Then he told several friends about his plans and they offered to join with him In establishing the Piedmont Heights Poultry company. The location secured was the rear of the residence of G. W. Wilkins, president of tne ca ble Piano company, at 88 East Ninth street. The situation is excellent as the land la upon a high hill, near Piedmont park and is always touched by a breese If one is stirring. ‘When the chicken lot, which Is exactly 100 feet square, was well fenced In with regular poultry wire netting, Mr. Fro ligh took a trip to Smyrna and consulted Loring Brown. He returned with three Incubators, each with a capacity of 150 eggs, or a total of 450 eggs. In addition he had three outdoor brooders. A barn situated by the side of the chicken house had a room In It well fitted by construction for an Incubator house, and Mr. Frellgh had started the Piedmont Heights Poultry farm. When the first hatch was off, he had prepared four large outdoor brooders In addition to me three smaller brooders which be used either in or out doors. Cleaning out his Incubators well, he started another hatch, and when that was made he had filled all of his brood ers. A third hatch was then started and when that was “off" he had a large colony house ready to move the older birds Into while room was left in the brooders for the chicks just hatched. PLACE IS FULL. He made still another hatch and now colony house, big brooder and little brooders are well filled and there are over 1.000 chicks on the place, while more than 100 have been sold. The first hatch was made on March 27, so It can be easily seen that the oldest birds on the ‘place are just about ten weeks of age. Mr. Frellgh expects to sell about 400 cockerels as broilers during the next few months, so 'when his birds start laying he will have just about 550 pullets. Although Mr. Frellgh admits that he didn't know a thing about chickens a half a year ago, he knows a lot today, and the birds are being brought up upon the most scientific principles set down by experienced breeders. His houses are being constructed after plans agreed upon by many poultrymen as very hard tft beat, and unless the dope goes wrong, this beginner's farm will be upon a pay ing basis in another six months—already it Is a success. So far Mr. Frellgh has lost remark ably few birds through sickness, and the reason for Ms success In this line Is easily shown, since the chicks upon his farm are handled like babes (when they have them) In a millionaire's nursery. A negro man Is in active charge of the place as the nurse, and before departing for his office each day Mr. Frellgh, “the doctor,” leaves a chart prescribing the diet of the chickens of each of the several ages, and the time of the day at which they shall be moved and fed and the manner in which they shall be han dled. The negro follows instructions and makes reports. ’ THE DIET CHART. The diet chart follows: For chicks un der 3 weeks of age: at 8 a. m., a handful of certain baby chick food for every 60 chicks. At 10 a. m., a couple of eggs with toasted bread crumbs. At 12 m., the chick food again. At 2 p. m., another handful of the chick food. At 4 p. m., the pampered birds get eggs and toasted bread crumbs again, and at 6 p. m. they get the chick food again, with a mixture of one part meat scraps and two parts bran, with a dash of grit and char coal. Then comes the diet of birds from 1 to < wWki of age. At 8 a. m. they get the prepared chick food, but It is scattered around In the litter so they have to scratch for It. At 10 a m. they are fed a mash consisting of the chick food, charoal, grit, bran and om meal, the whole dampened wtih milk. At noon they are fed a quantity of beef sr&ps. At I p. m. they get some THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1911. chuck food, but again they have to scratch for It. At 4 they get mash like that fed them at 10 am., and at 5:30 p. m. they get some more chick food, and again they have to scratch for their supper. When the birds are six weeks old their first regular meal comes at 10 a. m., when they get a mash, which consists of 1-3 ground oats, 1-3 wheat, 1-S corn meal, a half of the whole of alfalfa added, and served well dampened with milk. A dash of salt Is thrown over this. At noon chicks of this age get oats, which have been soaked In water since morning. At 4 p. m. they get the same mash served at 10 a. m., and at night they are given cracked corn before roosting. | The diet described above was gleaned by Mr. Frellgh from the articles of sev eral poultry experts and then submit ted by him to experienced local poultry men. and they gave It their Indorsement, before it was tried on the birds. Mr. Frellgh believes that every poul trymen should start his farm with hatch ings of eggs. MR. FRiELIGH TALKS. “In the first place,” he says, “It is much cheaper. You eventually have to buy incubators, brooders, etc., and you might as well start with them. To get birds from some established strain you have to pay a pretty stiff price, and no man who has studied the subject thinks for an instant that It is true economy to start from poor stock. Under my system you simply start off with eggs from an excellent strain and they can be purchased several hundred per cent cheaper than you could get old birds of as good strain. “There Is a big saving right there In the start. The only drawback is the time necessary before your egg produc tion begins, but even at that It Is only a question of a months, and at the end ot that time a man who started out with a few hatchings will have a num ber of pullets producing several thou sand eggs per week with a minimum In vestment, while the man who started with a flock of grown birds Is getting the same result at a maximum investment. “While It Is true that you have lost a few months, I believe that a man start ing a farm like I have, will begin to make a profit long before the man who started a farm of the same size with grown birds.” That there is something In what the youfig breeder says can be noted by a glance at the flock of 1,000 little White Leghorns, without a cfficken more than eight weeks old on the place. It Is the result of the minimum Investment. Dur ing the course of the next few weeks the 400 cockerels will be sold off at the excellent price which broilers are now bringing, and then In a few months Mr. Frellgh will have 500 hens bringing In almost as many eggs each day. LORING BROWN APPROVED. Loring Brown, who has been the young breeder’s guide and Instructor in the visited the place shortly before a reporter was out there, and this chicken authority was delight ed with the accomplishment. “It just shows," he said, “how easy it Is to make a success of the business if a person goes at It right.” Mr. Frellgh’s place has not been com pleted yet. He Increases the facilities of the place as the fowls grow to need them. The establishment consists of the three all Important incubators; three outdoor, oil heated brooders for very young chicks, four larger brood ers, not heated, for the larger chicks,' and then the colony house, which shel ters the birds until they are ready for the laying house. The houses were all constructed by Mr. Frellgh, who follow ed the advice of Mr. Brown, and all are models.

They are stationary and built about two feet off the ground with a sloping door, which can be let down when the chickens are to come In or out. The builder's object In navlng the houses so high above the ground was twofold. In the first place It makes it harder for vermin of any sort to Infesi the place, and secondly it always leaves a beneath the house where the chicks can gather when the sun Is particularly strong. The houses are covered with ruberold, and all the wood is thoroughly creosoted as a further safeguard against \ the many pests, common to chicken yards. The little brooders have a run, 4 by 6 fefet, and this is covered over by poultry netting in order that no hawks can fly In, nor cats climb ih to harass the little chicks. The colony house itself is a model. It is 40 by 7 feet, using a minimum oi' space, and is about four feet off the ground, erected so high for the same reason that the brooders were raised from the ground. It also Is covered entirely with ruberold as a sanitary protection and to keep out draughts, ADVANTAGES OF FARM WIND MILLS I use my wiridipm to a great advan tage on my farm. In some respects It serves as a hired han. When I pur chased my. wlndnpill I secured two pieces of timber, nine feet long, five inches thick and eight Inches wide. I placed the legs of the windmill on the two pieces of timber which has ner. I firmly screwed the legs to the timbers and nailed braces across from one to the other, making It steady. Then It was ready to move from place to place by means of a pair of horses. . In the summer months when It Is hot and dry I hook onto my windmill and take it to the pasture, and con a bevel on the bottom like a sled run nect it with the pump, keeping fresh water for the stock day and night. I save the labor of doing the pumping myself, which before took me about two hours a day. and my stock enjoyed two good drink® a day. Now they en joy cool, fresh dring at all times through the day. I have a pen around my windmill and pump, to keep my stock from damag ing either. My watering trough is made from gum lumber 18 feet long and 14 inches wide, 11-2 inches thick and is 18 feet long, 28 inches wide and 14 inches deep. I have a rubber hose to fit over the mouth of the pump which Is five feet long and leads to the trough and at the end of my trough I have an inch, and three-quarter Iron pipe ‘ that inter sects It about one inch from the top. It comes straight down to the ground with an elbow allowing it to go along on the ground to a ditch. My pipe is three inches under the ground from the pen to the ditch.to keep It from being mashed by the larger ani mals. When the summer Is over and it ’be gins to rain I hook up to my windmill and bring it to the house, which re quires but a short while, connect It to my pump at the house to use In pump ing water for my stock after I bring ASK TAFT TO CHECK RELIGIOUS CRUELTIES PHILADELPHIA, June 17.—Eleven resolutions, one calling upon President Taft to use his Influence to check re ligious persecutions In foreign lands were adopted at the closing session here today by the Northern Baptist conven tion. The principal"resolution reads: z “Resolved, That President Taft be re quested to consider the advisability of asking the nations of the world, either by treaty, by The Hague conference, or by calling an International conference to secure religious liberty for people of every faith of the world.” The resolution will be brought to the attention of President Taft by represen tatives of the Baptist World Alliance, which will begin a convention here Mon day. NO PROGRESS MADE IN RAISING MAINE • HAVANA, June IT.—Practically no progress was made today In the un covering of the Maine, the pumps mere ly being used to keep the water a trifle below the ten-foot level, which was reached yesterday. The work ot removing the mad that covers the ex posed portions of the wreck was begun. Streams of water at high pressure were employed but a terrific rainstorm soon compelled the suspension of this task. In many places the material covering the decks and filling the In terior spaces to a depth of several feet, heretofore supposed to be harbor silt, proves to be a corallike formation de fying removal by water pressure and necessitating much tedious work with Pick*. , which are so often fatal for chickens. The laying house has not yet been erected, but Mr. Frellgh proposes to follow the Corning plan. The princi pal difference of the Corning house from the rule in such buildings Is that It provides no outside runs for the birds. The house to be erected on Mr. Frellgh’s place will be 100 feet, the width of his lot, long and a number of feet wide, the theory being that the chickens will have a run of the length of the house Instead of an outside run. The floor o£ the building will be cov ered with a litter, which will be occa sionally sprinkled with food In order that the birds may get plenty of exer cise. The building will be scientifical ly fitted out with metal dropping boards easily removable, nest and roosting poles guarded by modern methods from Infection, and generally up to date in every way. / To sum up this Atlanta farm: Mt. Frellgh started the Piedmont Heights Poultry company three months ago wltlfbut a single old bird. Now he has 1,000 White Leghorns, all procured at a minimum expense and in a few months he will be getting several hun dred v eggs a day. them into winter quarters and also for the use of watering the house. I have a rubber hose 14 feet long which I use in washing off my buggy and wagon. I also use it for washing my horses’ feet and legs, as the windmill forces a powerful and effective stream. By means of the patent self-locking and unlocking method I can stand on the ground and stop or start my windmill by pulling the cord which hangs down beside the frame. My windmill coat ms $54, but a good mill can be purchased for $27.50 and/ up. Counting the three months that I keep my stock in the pasture and three nours* work per day at 10 cents per hour, which is the minimum wages for farm hands, the windmill will save s27—half the price of the mill, while It would cost me that amount If I did not have it for a hand to pump water for the stock. There are several other advantages that the windmill is to the farm. It can be attached to the grindstone, the cream separator, churn, etc., making it one of the most useful Implements on the farm. —F. H. Hatley, Kentucky.

USED CHEMISTRY TO STOP A RUNAWAY YONKERS, N. Y.. June 17.—Prof. Charles Edgar Roake, of Syracuse uni versity, turned his knowledge of chem istry to practical account In unusual fashion here last night. He was walk ing on Jerome boulevard when he saw a runaway horse approaching him. Two screaming children were tn peril in the cart which the horse dragged along. The professor happened to have in his pocket a package of an ammonia com pound with which he had been experi menting. He threw a handful In the horse’s eyes as It came opposite him and the blinded animal stopped as If shot. Then, while a bystander held the horse, he supped to a hydrant and prepared a solution of another chemical. With this he washed the ammonia from the horse’s eyes in time to save Its sight. SOLDIERS DISCOVER HEALTH IN TEXAS WASHINGTON, June 17.—Texas Is turning out to be a health resort for the army. The troops who were supposed to be suffering all sorts of hardships as a result of the concentration In tne ma neuver camp and the long hikes over the sun-baked prairies, are enjoying better health than the soldiers In the most fa vored posts elsewhere. This Is the deduction from a special report prepared by Surgeon General Ter ney, which in substance shows the constant non-lnfected rate of the troops during the month of May was only 23.4 per thousand, while the rate for the entire United States army during tne last year was <1.48.
