Laying Qualities of Chickens Lost Sight of In Order to Bring Out Fine Points of Marking and Color?Done for Sport. (By W. I. THOMAS.) Unfortunately for farmers. the standing of a poultry breeder Is not determined by the fat stock shows and fairs, but by a series of poultry shows. These shows devoted to poultry should be to the advantage of poullD try keepers, and tbey are a great advantage to fanciers. The disadvantage to farmers lies In this: The fancy Is primarily a sport on tho same order as a horse B. race. The Interest In fancy fowl Is iy like the Interest taken In a horse .j. race; In each case the high price a. paid Is duo to the Intensity of the r struggle for supremacy among the ia owners and not at all to the intrinsic ; value of the animals. When a racoe horse sells for thousands of dollars. It Is because he can beat the other lg fellows with long purses. When the 1- Rose-combed Black Minorca cockerel which took first place In the Madison square poultry show a year or two i r?????????? ? Golden Lac ago was sold for an even thousand It was because he took the lead In a very hot competition between roonie<3 fanciers who cared nothing at al about the utility qualities or the fowls they bred. No fault whatever should be found with the fanciers art as a sport. Men engaged In an occupation which requires Intense ap _ plication need something by way ol diversion which is Intensely interest k| lng, even exciting to a certain dogree Recreation is of little value If one must force himsplf to 1L I was once passing a fine residence In the suburbs of a large city and - I noticed a poultry plant on tho premL> I ises which could not have cost less l4) than $5,000. I went in to look at the fowls. Besides the attention given them by tho proprietor, they were t cared for by a man hired to give his L whole time to them. I asked tho ownY er if the plant paid well. Ho lnugh9ed. "Pay!" ho said, "I make money I practicing law; I raise chickens for fun." He took mo through the building and showed mo fowls that were CONVENIENT GATE FOR DOGS ??. |( Contrivance Allows Animal to Go In and Out as He Pleases and Keeps Chickens In. 1 1 j I used to have considerable bother i In keeping my dog satisfied.

The | contrivance is here illustrated. It is a light, swinging gate and it did not ^ko Shep long to learn how to ut)rk it. Brainless Farming. Whatever there Is of the unprofitable Btato of farmers is due largely to a lack of tho use of brains. Brainless farming, contempt for what science can teach, will rapidly reduce tho farmers In any section to poverty. Keep Good Brood Sows. I I While there Is considerable lnvestl I meat In the brood sows, still It pays I 1 better to keep the good ones becauso I 1 they will produce more uniform pigs, I 1 more of them and will raise them I better. Hot House Lamb. Hot house lamb is now a popular ii6 baby -beef and an up-to-date flockman does not keep his lamb until they are fully matured unless for = * breeding purposes. mart?!? ia beauty of plumage, and pointed out those that had won firsts In leading poultry shows. He showed me four hens for which he paid $75.00 the previous fall. They were Golden Laced Wyandottes and had won first and second hen, first and second pullet. In the last state poultry Bhow of Minnesota. He said he would sell them for a dollar each. Right here lies the secret of the farmer's difficulty with purebred fowls?the reason why so many farmers who will breed from nothing but registered stallions still sticks to tne scrub cock. This fancier said that the four hens mentioned above were valueless to him, because when bred . .....i.. *.?_ w ? iuoiv ui uis uwn sixain, mey produced young in whose feathers the black which should be confined to the lacing was mixed up with the gold center, where there should be no black. As soon as new blood is introduced into a winning strain of fancy fowls, the fine points in color are lost. In the game to win, a funcier will sacrifice everything in the way of utility for points; if he does not ho will not win in the leading shows. The fact that out-breeding always proves fatal to fancy points makes lint breeding absolutely essential to a successful fancier. Ho must breed togot) * fowls of tho samo blood or lose fine, points upon which tho decision in the show room hangs. A few years ago, I started out to ' produce a fancy utility fowl, quite confident that I could succeed by line ed Wyandotte. , breeding, but I have been reluctantly i forced to the conclusion that that Is I a mistake, not only from my own exI perlence, but because I find that in> variably when nn attempt Is made to Increase the laying performance of a ' flock of hens by breeding sires of i high record layers to daughters of high record layers In the same strain, [ the yearly average Increases for the first few years and tViCU decreases. Of course, It could not Increase In> definitely, but Instead of reaching the maximum and retaining It, they begin ? to decrease after a few years and become less vigorous and harder to raise. i Of course It would be Impracticable i to attempt to establish separate standards for fanciers and farmers, but it seems to mo that farmers would do well to keep In mind that the fancier as a sport produces fowls Just as different from a purebred farmer's fowl as a racehorse Is different from a farm horse, and buy breeding stock from breeders who out-breed and produce utility pure-breds. HOUSE FLY WITHOUT FRIENDS One Reason for Universal Dislike Is Because Insect Love3 Dirt and Filthy Odors. rty 4. s*. atyrO The houso fly is hated by everybody. Mo Is without friends. There Is a reason for the universal hate. ' Tho fly loves dirt and filthy odors. ; Ho dislikes sweet perfumes, sweet- ] smelling flowers, and so on. Ho distributes tho disease germs found on all kinds of filth. Ho Is the cause of a number of diseases. Every kitchen and dining room In tho land should be screened to keep i out tho files and other Insect pests. Tho wire gauze costs very little money and will likely save tho lifo of some one In the family. Keep tho flies off the baby In tho cradle. Turning cattle on the grass when It Is wet with dew will generally cause bloat. The weeks following weaning are a critical time in tho development of tho ewe lambs. An old muslin blanket on tho cow < at milking tlmo will save many a dlsagreeablo swipe. If ailing birds do not recover within two or threo days, off with their heads and burn the bodies. If tho old horse does not seem to h n lhrlvlr?f o od V.l/v? v.' ? ? - ' ~w wimq uiiu uiuuiuicn ma luoa examine his teeth?they may need filing. If the poultry bouse Is an old one why not burn It down now and build a new one? Uetter now than in November. Skim milk Is worth about 60 cents per hundred pounds when fed to the pigs and moro than that when to the chickens. A heavy foretop may be all right on a wild horse that runs tho range, but It Is no use to tho horso that works every day. Generally a little planning will enable ono to movo tho poultry house to a new spot of ground and plow up the old. Excellent plan. PARTY HAS DONE WELL DEMOCRATS HAVE REASON TO BE PROUD OF REPRESENTATIVES. Progressive Legislation to the Credit of the Congressional Session Just Ended?Country May Be Depended Upon for Approval. In the tariff session of 1909 the Star had frequent occasion to criticize the Democratic minority In congress for its lack of earnestness in working for revision downward, and even lor blocking such revision. As an independent newspaper the Star now records its conviction that in tho session just ending the Democratic congressional 'organization has shown itself alert, intelligent and sincere in promoting progressiv'9 measures. The good record began last winter when the Democratic leaders of tiio house called a caucus of memberselect to agree on a program for the next session. It would have been easy to Wait until tho now ( niipi'uss should assemble before perfecting the organization. That would have involved long delay in framing bills. As a result of tlie grasp of tlie situation by such men as Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood, all the preliminary work was out of the way when the special session convened, and it was able to get down to business at once. That was an excellent beginning. In passing the reciprocity bill without amendments the Democratic congressmen resisted tempting opportunities to play politics, and worked sincerely for what they believed to be the country's best Interests. They might have sought to make political capital out of reciprocity. That they did not ?except in the broad way of helping the party by helping the country? went far to win them public esteem. Three big achievements for revision downward are put to their credit in I the wool bill, the farmers' free list hill and the cotton bill. Each one of these measures prom is! ed the country relief from tariff exac1 tions. Each one of them was a sin cere effort to remedy glaring evils. \ Each one of them was blocked-?most i mistakenly and most unfortunately? by the president. In the case of the cotton bill a ; group of reactionary Democrats?for there Is a reactionary Democratic faction in both house and senate?by what they considered a "smart" trick, disrupted the progressive alliance in the senate. Hut with the wool bill and the farmers' free list bill the ; Democrats showed themselves emi nentiy practical and sincere. The situution was difficult. The house was Democratic, the senate Hepublican. The only hope for tariff legislation lay in a progressive alliance In the senate. But there were vital differences between the progressive Democrats and the progressive Republicans as to the principles on which revision should proceed. The only thing they agreed on was that duties were too high. It would have been easy for Entail politicians to insist uncompromisingly on having their way. when they knew they could not get it. The session might readily have degenerated into an attempt on the part of the house Democrats to "put the Republicans in a hole" by putting up bills to tlie senate and standing pat. That they did not do this, that they were ready to compromise so that relief legislation could be enacted, showed capacity of a high order and greatly Increased popular conlldcnco In Democratic leadership. The campaign publicity bill, a bill with claws and troth, is another achievement that must be set down to the credit of a congress one branch of which is controlled by Democrats. It is simple truth to say that the record of the special session has enormously strengthened tho confidence of independent voters in ti e capacity of the Democratic party as represented in congress. On the strength of this record with a strong presidential candidate the party would make a powerful appeal to the nation next year.? Kansas City Star. Well Done, Democrats! Noi since Civil war days has a pes sion of congress been held with results so significant at those attending the special sitting recently closed. Rarely, if ever, in the country's history has the national lawmaking body started on ti program of legislation so fraught with possibilities of benefit to the people. More than that?never before have the Democrats in that body worked more in harmony and accord with true Democratic principles than in the long summer sitting. Democracy is coming into its own. And the results will lie still further economy in national affairs and Ptil! groat or and more complete and trl unphant supremacy of those principles which make for "equal right for all, and special privileges for none." President's Attitude Wrong. The tariff as at present, constituted is aggressively and monstrously tin Just. The choice Is between revising it with an ax?leaving the finishing planing to be done later?and allowing licensed robbery to continue. The way to revise Is to revise. The president's way is to procrastinate. Mr. Taft lias traded a real and great benefit to tho American people for a hope. And every standpatter, every tariff monopolist in the land approves his action. People Will Have Justice. Mr. Taft has been trying to stive his party from the Inevitable destruction consequent upon its refusal to meet tho popular demand for relief. Hut there is no one to save him from the natural results of trying to thwart tho policy for which the people voted last November. Robbery to Go On. For lack of a scientific revision ol the wool si nedule that "indefensible' part of the high tariff continues to rot the public scientifically. WATCH THE CURRENCY BILLS Congressmen Will Do Well to Have an Eye on Legislation Proposed by Nelson Aldrlch. The public docs not realize the lmportance of safeguarding the general welfare In any legislation that may be proposed by Nelson Aldrlch's currency commission. The money problem Is complex. Every human being In America Is Interested in it. In 1899 the stock of gold In this . country was about $700,000,000. In 1905 It was nearly $1,400,000,000. During the same period population increased only 20 per cent. In 1899 national and state banks made loans of $5,000,000,000. In 1909 their loans were $10,000,000,000. In 1S99 tho Issue of national bank vi*itu *->.17 000 000. Ill 1909 It had Increased to $085,000,000. This huge bank note issue is secured by a gold redemption fund of 5%. or $34,250,000. Ex-Senator Aldrlch, as chairman of the monetary commission, may be counted upon to urge a currency system along tlie lines of his tarl.T bill ?to benefit Hig Business. Congressmen should examine all ; currency hills with a niisoroscope. ' They have ample time between now j and the next regular session for such useful work. If the country lacks confidence in Aldrlch and regards him as a coldblooded huckster in legislation for his own benefit and for the advantage of his New England mill-boss friends, he ; has nobody to blame but himself. Mr. Aldrich was never known to propose any measure for the benefit of the people. Wood's Interest Apparent. Undeterred by the exposures effected by the carded wool manufactur- | ers, William M. Wood repeats his con- ! fidenoe that Schedule K represents the quintessence of human wisdom, and lie is quite sure that the "rage against Schedule K will have very considerably subsided before congress reussi tables hi December. His idea that the "rage" against it is a recent and temporary ebullition is very curious, in view of the fact that 1 I years ago lie was raging against it himself. To the lungloy committee, when incubating the tariff of 1S97, Mr. Wood talked very much as carded wool men (he was one of them) talk now, and ti good ileal as tariff reformers talk, for he preferred the provisions of the Wllj son tariff to the proposals of the Ohio sheep owners, which were incorporated in the bill and repented in the present law. All you can Infer from Wood's approval of the wool schedule is that he Is making money under it. A Canadian View. The facilities provided for restrictive combinations are also among the strong influences tending to make prices onerous and sometimes in a measure prohibitive under protection. .Much that is readily accessible to all under normal conditions becomes the exclusive luxury of the few under restriction. It is a current saying that everyone who goes to Great llrltaln becomes a free trader. It is only on his fellow citizens that the protectionists wants to levy. It is only his fellow citizens that he would obstruct. This is seen on all hands, from the captain of Industry who moves his government to allow him to purchase material, to the traveler who brings j back a hat or a pair or hoots. Hut theories firmly planted can survive in splto of logic, experience and nat? , ural impulse.?Toronto (Canada) Globe. Mr. Taft Inconsistent. A man who is haunted by a sense of Inconsistency and who fears that ne is giving color to a charge of inslnce-- ' Ity, cannot write in an energetic and persuasive manner. That is tlie explanation. it seems to us. of President Tuft's halting performance in his message vetoing the wool bill. Even Hoi publicans who desired him to write it admit that it is weal and Inconclusive, hut what could they expert? In this ' matter of 'lie wool diitb s, Mr. Taft is ; in an exceedingly awkward predicamo: He has boldly declared that the oxi-ti-.g r ites are "Indefensible," yet ; he now appears as their defender < r nt least as the official by whose sole act tin y are kept in force indefinitely. ?New York Evening Post. Mr. Roosevelt and 'Calamity.' T) n (b re Roosevelt puts himself on record to the effect that any move; ment to i omlnate hint for the presldency next year would be a "genuine calamity." Sot i-i!mes Mr. Roosevelt Is wise in his estimate of conditions. This is one of the times.

President Taft Alone to Blame. Mr. Tail's stand-pat allies are entirely wrong in tlio assertion that the object of Democratic legislation during the extra session wa to put the president in a hole. On the contrary, the Democrats helped him out of the hole dug by the stand patters, and into which he had dropped together with his Canadian Reciprocity agreement. If the president is iu>w in a hole?and we think he is he got ttiere by insisting upon the indefinite continuation in force of a tariff schedule which ho had bin.self called "indefensible."
