Secretary of State Cplby said thnt he would go to court to prevent the customs ofllclnls of the Treasury department from searching the baggage of diplomatic agents hnd ofllcers of other countries arriving In tho United Stntes. The customs people were hunting for hootch In the belongings of people coming to the Innd of the free, and they declined to recognize Internation al law, which mnkes the belongings of a diplomat Immune. It Is u wise Inw. nt least for the United Stntes, some people think. Our government baa to deal with these notables and agents from other parts, First Postage Stamps SEVENTY-THREE years ago this year the first United Stntes postage stamp was placed on sale for the benefit nnd convenience of tho letter writing public of New York city. In these three score nnd thirteen years the postotllce has Issued 475 types of postage stamps, ranging In value from 1 cent to $5. The first postage stamp, a 5-cent one, wns authorized by uct of congress March 3, 1847, and Is known to have been Issued In five col ors dark and light sable, red, brown and orange red. We are told, too, that 8,712,000 were Issued In three years. They were recalled June 30, 1851. The design shows a three-qunr-ter-to-the-left portrait of Benjamin Franklin, over which are the "words Postodlce and the letters U. S. In the upper corners, one In each. Below. 5 cents 5. It seems fitting thnt our first post master general should have first place on the stamps of this country. That he was father of American postal serv ice Is agreed. In 1737 Franklin was made postmaster of Philadelphia, and 10 years later, from the hands of the then king of England, received the commission of deputy postmaster general for the American colonies, with the yearly salary of $3,000. Sev en years later, 1760, he startled our quiet forefathers by announcing and putting Into operntlon a weekly mail between Philadelphia and his' native American Hen Is a THE American hen may have her weaknesses ns an Individual, hut collectively she is a national institu tion. If you doubt this, poise that upraised knife over the matutinal boiled egg and consider theso facts: America's hens cackled 23.484,000, 000 times Inst year In proud an nouncement. There were 1,957,000, 000 dozen eggs produced In the United Stutes. For these, the farmer received an average price of 43.8 cents n dozen, or about $850,000,000. Uncle Sam says himself so officially. He furnished the Information to the delegates to the National Poultry, But ter and Egg association convention,' Farm Tenantry Increases in Middle West INCREASE in farm tenantry which has become nn Issue In Kansas docs not appear uniform throughout the Central West, according to reports re ceived In Washington from a number of agricultural authorities. While the majority of the several states heard from report an advnnce, Wisconsin notes no change nnd Dklnhoma de clares a decrc-iyse. Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and Ohio show Increases. The situation In the various stntes named Is thus Indlcntcd: Farm tenantry In Oklahoma has shown n decrease of 7 per cent during the ten yenrs since 1010, according to figures from each county compiled by H. II. Shutz, federal statistician for tho state. In 1910, farm owners mnde up 45 per cent of tho tillers of tho soil, and renters 55 per cent. "The percentage of rented farms has Increased somewhat In the south ern half of Wisconsin," Joseph A. Becker, agricultural statistician nt Madison, Wis., writes. "Howover, the largo number of new farms being opened up In the northern part of the state, practically all of which are op erated by owners, has more than kept up the percentage of owned farms." Fnrm tenantry Incrensed 4 per cent In Illinois In the ten-year period from Might Cause a War" nnd It deals with them to promote Uio Interests of tho United Stntes. They are mad when they are sent herd, preferring to go to Koumnnla, Monnco, Sweden, or oUier livelier parts even to Albania, Armenia, or Liberia and It Is unwise to mnko them madder. A quart of liquor taken nway from a diplomat might wreck a treaty, and a whole case might cause a war. It Is infuriating to an already disheart ened diplomat, who, ns he sights tho stutue of Liberty, concedes he Is out of luck, to have his baggage frisked. It Is a blunder that Is worse than a crime to take nway his sustenance. Be this as It may, the customs serv ice receded from Its position with re spect to the Importation of liquor by the diplomatic representatives of for eign countries. Olllclals said that not only could the diplomats bring liquor In. hut that liquor consigned would have to be admitted. Such consign ments nlrendy In tho country, how-ever,-cnn he removed from the port only by a diplomat or a member of his household. It wns held. in the United States city, Boston. The mall left each city Monday morning, nnd arrived at the other the Saturday night following. In 1774 bo wns ousted from ofllce by the king -for his very much pro nounced "rebel" sympathies, but he was not Jobless long. The continental congress knew, perhaps from past ob servation, that the services of a pos tal chief were necessary, and he was appointed by them In that capacity tho next July. It wns not until July, 1851, thnt the first of the higher value stumps came out. ' In the early days of tho postage stamp fewer letters were written than today. In those days one- stamp rep resented the postnl requirements of twenty people, and today (taking Into consideration the jump In population) 454 stamps nro rerulred for every man, woman and child In this country, according to the most recent Post office department statistics. National Institution which met recently In Chicago. These delegates were quite swelled up with n just and fitting pride, for they rep resent the men who collected the hen fruit, handled It with care and brought the enormous crop to market It took them two days to talk It all over and to discuss marketing and transporta tion problems. The data was complied for the pro duce men .by the bureau of markets of the United States Deparffnent of Agrl culture. It further shows there were 600,000,000 pounds of poultry mar keted at an average price of 23.84 cents per pound to the farmer, or a total value of $143,040,000. "Butter and eggs" are two words and things that seem to go together, Of butter there were 851,269,140 pounds brought to market at an aver age price of 59.5 cents a pound to the producer, or $506,505,138. The wholesale price for "fresh firsts," as tho brand new eggs are known In trade Jargon, was 48.2 cents a dozen In Chicago, and 55.6 In New York city. The average price of best butter In Chicago was 58.4 cents a pound, nnd In Gotham 00.7. 1009 to 1919, according to figures com piled by the state department of ngrl culture nt Springfield. Tenantry In 1919 wns estimated at 45.5 per cent. Fnrm tenantry In Ohio will show only an Increase of 5 per cent over 1910. In the opinion of A. Q. Fnlconer, head of the rural economics depart ment at Ohio State university. Farm tenantry in Minnesota Is stead ily Increasing because of the advanced prices of fnrm lands and a hesitancy on the pnrt of many retiring farmers to relinquish title to their lands, ac cording to M. J. Holmherg, state com missioner of agriculture. In Nebraska an Increase of about 4 tier cent In tenunt-owned farms from 1910 to 1019 Is shown In figures sup piled by Leo Stuhr, secretary of tho stute department of agriculture. STANDARD BREEDS OF FOWLS Poultry Keeper Should Select Breed Best Adapted to His Purpose and Locality. Leaving out of consideration tho breed kept ns novelties, all the standard American breeds of fowls have been made and developed on the general principle of practical quality as (he foundation of breed character and value. In harmony with this principle, tho common classification of breeds according to their places In the general scheme of poultry production divides thorn Into three prlnclpnl classes: laying breeds, mei.t breeds and general-purpose breeds that Is, breeds that are not as ready nnd persistent egg producers as the laying breeds, and not as meaty and as easy to fatten as the It1 put breeds, yet combine In one Indi vidual fowl very good laying .capacity with very good tnble quality. The Leghorn, Minorca, Andaluslan. Ahcona and Camplno are well-known breeds of tho laying class; the Brah ma, Dorking, nnd Cornish of the meat class; the Plymouth Hock, Wyan dotte, Hhode Island Bed and Orping ton of the general-purpose class. The breeds of the laying class, with tho exception of the Minorca, are relatively small, very energetic and lively, mature onrJy, nnd are easily kept In good laying condition. The' Minorca Is of larger size and modi fied somewhat In the other particu lars mentioned, yet hns more the chnracter of the laying clnss than of Miy other. In the meat breeds there Is not" the same uniformity of type that Is found In the Inylng-'breeds. The three men tioned differ decidedly. The Brahma Is most popular because It Is at the same time the largest and most rug ged In constitution. The Dorking ex- cols In quallt,v of meat, but Is gen erally considered somewhat lacking 'n hnrdlnosc ''Mw Pfo-nlsli Is rather Plymouth Rock Prize Winner. hard mented but, being very short feathered, has its special place as a large meat-producing fowl In souther ly sections where tho more heavily feathered Brahma does not stand the summer well. Among the populnr breeds of the general-purpose class there are also differences In type, adapting breeds to different uses. The Plymouth Hock Is genernlly regarded as tho type meeting the widest range of require ments In the general-purpose class. The Wyandotte Is n little smnller and earlier maturing, but still very well mented and easy to fatten. Tho Rhode Island Bed has nearly the same standards of weight as the Wyandotte, but Is n more active bird, not putting on fat so readily. Conse quently, It approaches the laying typo and Is most populnr with thoso who want eggs and ment, hut want eggs most. The Orpington Is nt tho other ex treme In the general-purpose class, being n heavier, meatier fowl thnn the Plymouth Rock. Such n list of breeds nffords so wide a range of choice thnt poultry keepers can always select a standard breed better adapted to their local ity and their purpose than nny non standard stock they can procure, say poultry specialist of the United Stntes Department of Agriculture. A flock of stnndard-bred fowl will liavo the further advantage of reproducing true to type. MAKE PROGRESS WITH FOWLS Select Best Individuals for Breeding Whether for Table, Show or Egg Production. Whether tho purpose of poultry breeding bo for the show, for table stock o'r for egg producers, the best progress will bo made by picking out the best Individuals In the flock as breeders rather than by breeding from tho flock as a whole. COMPEL FOWLS TO. EXERCISE Thick Litter of Straw, Leaves or Something of That Kind Will Keep Birds Scratching. In all henhouses there should he u thick Utter of straw, buy, leaves op something of that kind Into which tho grain can be put to compel exercise. When tho fowls nro confined to the house, or tho house and yard, they need exercise to keep lu good health. Another Royal.
