[From the Indianapolis News.] The most valuable song sung in Indiana is the daily cackle of the satisfied hen. If she and her ally, the turkey hen, were to stop sing ing their monotonous lay the State of Indiana would be from $10,000, 000 to $15,000,000 poorer every year, and many whole communities in Indiana would suffer a financial paralysis and would wither up and be whisked away by the breezes that frisk around the crossroads. There is nothing in Indiana that distributes money so widely over the State, or that loosens the tight screws on so many small bank ao counts. All of this may serve as a thought-germ for the man whose habit is to shy a brick at the mother who pilots her brood across his gar. den lot. If the hen were given the job, and were permitted to devote all of her energies to the general public good, she would maintain the State House, the judiciary and all of the State in stitutions, from penitentiaries to hos pitals; she would educate all of the children in Indiana by meeting the annual public school expenses, and, on top e f that, in a favorable year, she would meet the mainten,at,ce of all churches of all kinds in Indiana and discharge their howe and foreign mission obligations. Her I'roduc tion, measured by the standard of the dollar, in many years is tuore val nable than the nb-at pr duction of Indiana. at,d most year- she loses the oats ieMid pruinetic'n at the half way mark. ON. (1 Ti! Lr T I.r DDI>t'r ES. l.ntana talk- a great d."ai about b.r I.dford stoije 'rtdeuction and the nealth of t.-r gluss i-listries. The 1ndiana ciekont, throolgh the sumwer months alone, distributes as much mouey in the State as these in. dustries cowibie,ed. The Irish and sweet potato, barley and a half dozen cereal crops all combined fall far short in valuation of her produc tion. According to the figures com. piled by the Government, the value of eggs anid poultry grown in In piana laist year was $15,000,000. Of that amount it is estimated that the egg crop wvas worth $7,892,215. Ac cording to the chicken census, ln diana is credited with a population of 11,103,006 fowls. St.t Statistician B F Johnson has just been compiling his poultry stat tistics for the last twelve months and has just struck his totals. His tigures are complied, first, by coun ties, on the township basis. The ag gregate for the State shows that. the egg market produiction in Indiana last year was 47,119J,21b dozen Wholesale ponhtry dealers, who cover the entire State, sany that the aver age price of eggs during the last year was a fraction over 15~ cents a dozen. On this blasis the past twelve months' crop is given a valuation of $7,067,881.21, which is but a little short of the Government estimate. According to State St at istician John son's returns there have been 37,211, 600 pounds of poultry used and marketed in Indiana during the last year. The wholesalers state that 10 cents a pound will be a fair basis to figure that at. Tlhis places the val unt ion of the n.arketable~ poult; y at $3,721,160 and makes a ta al of $10,789,941 25. HiEN woniTi MORN TiHiN P'EN5IONH. Thes estimates made by the whobe~ sale poultry dealers on the puilt ry sold in markets, as a rule, fall a litt le short of State Statistician Johnsona's figures, but not much. Even taking the State statistician's estimate, the good lhen, in active pro. duction, dumps a mnillioni dollars more money inuto Indiana every' . ear than the Government does~ ini pen. BiOns. The money goes, too), w here it will do the most good. Many homes in Indiana are run b)y wives who only have the small'change to operate on and to clothe thbemselver, and if it wvere not for the chicken money the churches in thousntds of small Indiana towns would close up their doors in a hu.ary. All chickens look alike to most people, but as a matter of fact, when) the Northern Indiana chicken meetua the t5outhern Indiana chicken two det.renns in aninial 1lk re fae to face. .The'otthern Indiana chicken is worth two cents more on the pound, but the Southern Indiana bird is the one that comes in with the egg money. She i8 the raw boned, long, lean, lank fowl that ha, to climb up and down hillsides, and she develops long, strenuous legs. When she is killed and hung up in market she makes a great show for length, but it is a lean, raw boned, colorless body with long, spindling legs, and along scrawny neck. In the Eastern market, that contr-ils prices, the Southern Indi ana chicken is classed as "ordinary." But this chicken has one great merit-she is the most persistent layer known in thicken history. She gets down to work early in the year. Cold weather has a hard time heading off her daily song. NORTHERN CHICKEN IS FANCY. The Northern Indiana chicken is graded on the market as "fancy." She iv a short-legged, plump-bodied, tender fowl and when dressed she has good color and it is for her that the stewards at Delmonico's and other fashionable places are looking. It is said by poultry dealers that the Big Four Railroad, as it cuts thiough Indiana and Illinois, and the Penn. sylvania through Ohio, is the divid ing line between this vastly different northern and southern chicken popu lattion. Eastern dealers, it Is said, can tell by sight from what side of the railroad the marketed fowl comes. Indiana is the very heart of the chicken belt, and the Indiana chick en and poultry and egg shipments conpare with those of any other State. . It is claimed that the finest chickeis grown in the world come from the prairie sections of Indiana and Illinois, and from a section in Michigan. It is a fact that a chicken is seldom better than the soil it is raised on. ImFFrENCF BY F-NVIRONMENT. The ponltrv men say that a chick en is never better than the people with whom it sssoci-des. However, tbe Ibhferrnceo of the stock in I. diana, it, is said, is due entirely to the dif ferent opinion northern and south ern Indiana peohple have concern ing the chicken. The southern In uliana people think the egg more valual)l, than the chicken, and they use tho egg laying varieties. The northern Indiana farmers, who have more corn and grain to feed, think that the chicken is the most valuable. The result is that, while the north| ern sect ion has a greater chicken popultion, the sonthern section pro dfces5 tuore eggs. Of course, there are exceptions to thLi sectionalis-u rule-fancy grade chickens are raised in southern indiana and poor ones in the northern section, but they are exceptions to the rule. S'U1HANAsiA. Thne P,assing fromn the Me'rcile-ms to thne Meurciful--The, Great Purpos,e or Man to MaI,ke the World an Lit,lle hut. tern by Ha,vimng Lived in, 11. The following is a Sunday editor ial from the Richmond News by Alfred B. Willims: "It is a soft, musical word from a G reek root borun far back in the forgotten years andl among the lost peoples who felt the the same untt terable longings we feel and were trying to make language to express them, It means to die gently and easily. Its significance iB to pass to glide as we do in half waking dreams-imperceptibly and without fear or pain, from the strife and turmoil here to an everlasting peace, from the danigers and the labor, the fears and the toils anid the mnarty burdens to ani nob,ro,k.n a-nd a dream leas rest. In a miome,n', withI lhe ex pi ra tio'n of a b'rs-at h, tit he hem i I a' hits beaten so hard against the hr asr so many times w%ith dhread or hop'e or sulspenise or at gnish may he st i lh d to be aroused nao more to tumn11 linu onis throbbing. The breast t bat has been - st.rainied wvith sighs andl that has ached with grief may be tra' 1 qil and thle body1) racked w ith pain maJiy find release and frei dom ai-d l.ng repose. 'Thiat is the hope, if Ethan,1sia, of inaviling death. A. woman in Chicago who was a niember of many women 'a clubs committed suicide the other day andl left behind her- the one wordl, "Euthanasia," and one of her associate members printed in justificat ion of her act a poem withI the same name. The substanc(e of it isi that when the cranker is at the heart of the rose it is better to scat ter the petals while they are yet fresh anid beautiful and fragrant than to see themt wither; that when the bird mage is 'gone and its life represente nothing but silent suffering and pathetic waiting for the end it should be made to die quickly. Doctors have discussed the same subject in their most secret thoughts and in their most serious gatherings frequently kept from' the knowledge of the general public. Often it is a question with honest physicians when a case is hopeless and the patient longs to be released from the agony of living whether with a. motion of the fingers, one single swift touch of the hand where no man may know, and the decision is between the man responsible, the human being under his care and the Creator of both, the suffering shall be ended and death brought with merciful swiftness to end it all so far as present life and the doctor's skill and knowledge go. This is a question for the doctors. They may know when a life can mean nothing but a short period of agony or fear and they are responsi. ble for what they do in that most solmemu and trying of all hours. With them it is a matter of minutes. With many other people who think of euthanasia it is a matter of incal culable years. Nearly all of us have thought of it at one time or another. The long and silent and dauntless sleep beneath the sod seems very restful. The refuge from the toil and the burdens and strife, seems very easy. It. is only the near est drug store of firearm or the blade or the alwa) s convenieut water, and it is all over, so far as this life is concerned. Yet has any one of us the right to say or to think that his or her life is ended, that the opportunities for its usefulness are gone? The rose be neath its fragrance and its beauty has no soul and the poor little bird has nothing but its song and plum. age to give. Are we not more than they ? Did not the Chicago club wo me:t who commended the act of their 1 associato forget that the human mind wnd heart and soul abide in the hu man frame and that while they live thoy may be consecrated always to t .he highest and sw'eetest and noblest 1 purposes and may bring forth the ;raudest resultsY They have but a narrow and dark. aned view of the purpose and the moaning of human life. The rose lies soon when separated from its parent stem or at the coming of the canker or with the passing of the summer day or the breath of the chilling winds from the North, and its fragrance pleases the senses a mo ment andI is gone forever. The song of the bird lingers in the ear briefly and is forgotten. The hand, the tongue, the countenance, the eye of the living mani or woman may do good as long as they are living and make results here and for the life unknown and beyond. None of us having life or sense or faculties are helpless for good. Many a (dying hour has exhaled fragrance ex pressed in a beautiful life, a trium ph. ant death, years later, and in the glories of resurrection and realization of the dearest hopes of our race. Many a lblighted life has borne fruit and blossomed never to be blighted or faded. Not one of us living may say that our days of usefulness or of hope are gone. Always there is work to do for the poorest and feeblest and weakest and most disheartened of us. The roses and the birds die with the seasons and the times of their lives. The lives of any of us may be made to yield beauty and fragrance arnd VIRGINl4 FOR JNFORMATIUN THEf VIRIN1A-CARo OHARLESTON,8S.C tinieio whioh wilf go adross the hid den river and carry inemories of us aid propitiation for us and win 4ieroy and love for 'us at the Great White Throne, where all will be judged, and in the s44'et, calm fields of Eden all of us hope for, where the wicked shall trouble no more and the weary be at rest. Life may he hard , as it is often-and those es teemed most fortunate by the world which does not know what we bave to bear as our burdens, the bidden burdens being the worst of all, may leave the hardest it all may be cruel and desolate and hope less for ourselves. Yet it may be made fruitful and beautiful and splendid in results if we can forget ourselves and remember that after all it is a matter of whether we will. The woman who sought euthanasia was seeking rest, unmindful of The work she had to do. There is a world full of poor sisters of hers needing help and a sister's hand and voice every moment of their sordid and mise.rable lives. If she had gone to the almshouse as an inmate, help less and pauperized, she could have found somebody more miserable than herself to comfort and strengthf n and lift up. Euthanasia-the peaceful and painless gliding out of life and its troubles-is sweet to the ear and many times sweeter to the thought of us, because to most of us our troubles sometimes seemo heavier Ihan we can bear. Yet it is but rank cow ardice after all. It is a tuMserab'o evasion of responsibility.
