The POULTRY YARD.
THE HENS ARE LAYING NOW.

and most of them, as we'll as the last years
pullets, have been laying we'll for month
or two. They will continue to give you
eggs abundantly fol- month or two to
come, whatever breed you may chance to
cultivate But all kinds of hens will lay
generally in the warfh months, and more or
less in the cold season-if they are properly
fed and cared for-Whenever they are not
passing through their annual moult Or fea-
ther-changing condition.
This laying of eggs is profess not under
stood by most people, even those who breed
fowls, and year after year set hens, hatch
chickens and raise the flocks successfully to
maturity. And yet if the egg-making ma
chinery were better appreciated generally,
and if those who keep poultry to supply
them with this desirable palatal5le and USE

form themselves as to how this business of
egg-making may be managed to produce
the best results, we could have more eggs in
the seasons when we most desire them in
abundance, and the real, practical intrinsic
value of the egglayer would be vastly en-
HANGED Unpopular appreciation
Now, we are constantly reading of this or
that plan asa good Ole to 'smake hens lay"
Hens lay --ssatuvally. All that can be done
to help them DO this is to supply the proper
materials out 'of which eggs and their shells
may be created, and stimulate the process
perhaps by extra care, better quarters, and
an increase of first-class feed in variety.
They must have good shelter. They
should be fed with sound grains, animal
food, cooked vegetables and green proven
der regularly. Gravel. lime, bone, shells
and such substances should be provided, SO
that they can eab AS much as they need of
either, at their leisure. Clean nests, dry
dusting-boxes, clear fresh water, and occa-
sonally butchers scraps or cooked offal is
what-they crave. These all assist them to-

are made, and the hens lay them as matter

The absence of these requisites IN the
proper quantity, variety, quality, and at the
right seasons OF the year, is what will cause
your hens to 9ay few eggs in warm weather

Question and Answer.

The Sentinel is in receipt of the following
letter of inquiry:
To the Editor of the Sentinel:
SIR-By consent you are called upon to de-
eide the following question in dispute:
docs a notarial commission granted to a
proper person for certain county, this state,
give the right to use the seal outside the
county named in the commission"
For Instance, say Mr.. D., residing in In
public; he provides himself with a notarial
seal reading his nan e, NOTARY public of
Marion county, Indiana" Next month he
moves permanently down into Johnson coun-
ty, Indiana, brings said seal with him, andsis
called upon to take the acknowledgment OF a
paper, and does so in Johnson county, filling
the paper out as done in Marion county Ito
correspond with seal) Is the seal good in the
test OF law? II so, why insert the name of
county in the commission? Why not say Mr.
D is commissioned notary public of In
diana? Please answer in your paper.
Yours truly, AN INQUIRER.
Greenwood, Ind, Jan. 26.
The acts of 1855 make the jurisdiction of a
notary public co-extensive with the state.
The words Marion county, on the seal have
no legal effect and are unnecessary. The ac-
acknowledgement should have read, Ozone in
Johnson county by D., notary public" but
it probably does not vitiate the acknowl-
sigment In fact, paper is good as be-
tween the parties even without any acknowl-
edpmont

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

Between the eest and the west there exists
a conflict of thought in regard to the best
means of relieving the business of the whole
country from its present endorsements.
These embarrassments have been increasing
in their destructive force the past six years.
During this period the losses sustained by fail
ures, by shrinkage of values, by arresting
the industries of the country, and by COM
pelling willing hands to remain idle. abso-
lutely defy computation; even approxima-
tons startle us by their magnitude. Still the
work of ruin goes forward and the people,
as the weary years come and 60, are ever
confronted by the problem and
are endeavoring to find a solution.
This conflict of thought is non-
partisan, except in so far as the business
and financial troubles of the country are the
outgrowth of vicious radical legislation, con-
cocted in the interest of the money power,
and with the most fragrant disregard of the
welfare of the producing classes of the coun-
try; except also in so far as Hayes may an
tagonize the great mass of the people by a
veto. The people have suffered, and are
now seeking relief in way that Is prudent
and constitutional. They have sent their
representatives to congress. They have
massed their sagacity, their wisdom
and their political acumen. They believe
that the repeal of the resumption
law and the RECOMMENDATION of silver will
give, at least, some relief Upon these
propositions they plant themselves immov-
ably. They propose to fight it out on this
line. 1t has been shown in these columns
that during the past six years the losses sus.
tanned by failures that have been recorded
amount to the enormous sum OF 81, 0S7, 022,
O75. OF this amount Indiana's share was
$40, 95S, 153. But 1t is held that the entire
wealth of the country not including United
States bonds, has shrunk in value fully 40
per cent. since 1870. This would give loss
to the people of about $1,000
100000, or about six times the
amount OF the national debt. Such
destruction of property. ought to satisfy
the devil himself; but they do not move the
callous hearts of the Shylocks, who swallow
like the sea, and whose souls, like catacombs,
have room for all the business skeletons of
the land. In this conflict of thought and
purpose now going forward between the east

PASSAGE OF THE MATTHEWS RES
OLUTION.

The senate on yesterday passed the Mat
thews resolution by vote of 40 to %. One
more affirmative vote would have made
two.thirds majority; but as it was concur
rent and not a joint resolution. it will not
have to 60 to Mr.. Hayes for his approval.
This action of the senate shows that that
body is not insensible to the demands of the
people for the reconciliation of silver and
the payment of the government bonds ac-
cording to their tenor. The money power
may clamor for a change of the contract, and
its organs may stigmatise as dishonest those
who oppose it, but the people will demand
that the contract shall stand. Their voice
has reached the senate chamber the most
difficult of all places to penetrate, and the re-
suit is the vote of yesterday. Although this
vote does not remonetize silver, it shows the
way things are drifting. If coming events
cast their shadows before" the vote of yes
terday evinces that before many days have
passed the dishonest trick which caused
the demonstration of silver will be
rebuked. When this is done the
people may breathe easier. They will begin
to feel that there is some hope for their
relief. If, added to this, the resumption act
is repealed shout will go up that will make
the Shylocks and their satellites tTemble in
their boots. 1t will be the people rejoicing
in their disenthralment, and singing no.

THE DARDANELLES.

A very decided interest is just now GEN.
tering upon the narrow strait called the
Dardanelles, which connects the sea of
Marmora with the Mediterranean. This
strait is IS miles long, of irregular width.
This entrance TO the sea of Marmora is
defended by strong forts on both sides. The
principal defenses on the European side are
two excellent coast batteries, Namasyah and
Degerman Burun. "All the forts are sup
piled with guns Of the largest caliber and Of
the most modern construction; the
'bastions are open at the gorge, the
batteries without easements, and both
are commanded by hills in the rear.
The Turkish government has always main
tanned that no foreign vessel OF war should
be allowed at any time to pass the OAR
danelles, which principle England recog-
'nized in 1909, and in 1s41 the five great
powers of Europe fully recognized the
principle, and it was reafiirmed by
the treaty of Paris in 1856" Not
understanding this treaty in November,
1858, the United States frigate Wabash passed
the Dardanelles and anchored at CONSTANT

outlet TO the Mediterranean sea. Nicholas

by no means probable. that the car

Greek Christians In all such professions
there is doubtless preponderance of sham,
but there is no mistaking his determination
sooner or later to have a free outlet for
his merchant and war ships via the Oar
danelles; nor are there any well grounded
doubts with regard to his final success.
1t is just at this point that England proposes
to resist Russia. And why? 1t is held that
if Russia shall secure a southern outlet for
her naval forces she will endanger Eng
lands Indian possessions. This is simply
a suspicion, but it seems to be sufficient
to arouse a war spirit in England
and it is quite possible that John Bull will
outrage all the principles of justice by pro-
longing a war which, whatever else may be
said of it, is well calculated to advance a
civilization that England ought to aid rather
than resist The verdict of chrlsten-
dom is likely to be that Russia is en-
titled to the free passage of the Dardanelles,
and that England will not be justified In
prolonging war that her fears of perma-
nent control in India may not be increased.
Every blow Russia has dealt Turkey has
been in the interest of higher civilization,
and the powers of Europe ought to declare
that the Dardanelles shall in future be as
free to the commerce of the world and
to its ships of war as the British channel or
the straits of Dover. And to this it must
come at last. A glance at the map will sat
isfy any unprejudiced mind that to close
the Dardanelles is in direct conflict with
manifest destiny, and that the mighty empire
of Russia will not cease fighting until the
free navigation of the strait is secured.
Russia may be dangerous power. She may
have designs upon British India, but the
world will not stop to discuss such ques-
tons, nor will christendom sympathize with
England in policy that has no higher mo-
tive than her own territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Evidently Russia is in no mood to be antag-
onized just now by England. She has
crushed Turkey, and the crescent has at last
gone down before the cross If Russia
desires Asiatic conquests there is ample
room for her greed without disturbing
England's possessions, and one thing is
pretty certain, unless some Christ
ian nation penetrates Asia and re-
deems it from barbarism it will remain
forever the home of tigers and of men who
so far as there civilization is concerned are
little better than the wild beasts of the
jungle. The world is in favor of fair play
and sailors rights, and Russia is just now in
a position to insist upon reasonable de-
mands, among which the free navigation of
the Dardanelles is likely to meet with the
approval of christendom.
