1t won't do for the editor of the
Register to attempt, by insunatien
to cast discredit on the temperate
habits of any of the candidates on
the Democratic ticket. They are all
too well known in the county for
that kind of political warfare.

What did MI. Holt do with the
money which he professionally stated

the remains of the late President,

ken down, the editor of the Register
had his partisan gun loaded to fire
upon the Democratic party in an at
tempt to use the memory of Garfield

James A. Garfield, and Democrats
were as prompt as Republicans in

President, murdered by a politician
of his own party, out of political
strife, at least until his grave was
sodded over! We hardly believe the
decent portion of the Republican
party in this county will sanction
such indecent and unnatural means
for political purposes, and any Re-

it can help the u of its party by

POULTRY YARD.

There is no place so good for a hens nest
I on the ground. In our experience full 20
r cent. more of the eggs will hatch under
sch circumstances than in hay mows, straw
4cks, or boxes, as they are usually placed.
Stale bread moistened with sweet milk is
commended very highly as good feed for
Jung chickens the first few days. When a
hex old they may be fed on cracked grain
aided. When old enough to swallow grain
Fe them plenty of it.
Hens two and three years old will not lay
great a number of eggs as will pullets in
e first twelve months after they commence
lay. In quantity, therefore, y~earling hens
ill excel; but not in quality for Matching
trposes.
Hens should not be allowed to disturb the
tiers by laying in their nests. Broken eggs
i'd a bad hatch will result. If the sitti e
On can be isolated in any way, cover her
9TH an empty coop, basket or box, being
rreful to have her come off every day fol-
ed, water, exercise and dust bath.
A very simple and handy mode to ventilate
le henery is to leave a good sized opening
y the gable ends of the fowl house, say eight
n ten by twelve inches square, with a slid
~ screen or board inside the house, with
hich these holes may be closed in very cold
lights, to keep out the frost. At any time OF
re year, in the middle of the day, these
oertures may be opened for three hours, fol
antllating the premises. Or, the means Of
sntilatlon may be similarly arranged at the
sntre or at both extremes of the building a
Ne peak of the roof, through IL or more
ocular cupola shaped yentilators. In sons

Editor Butte MINEk :

Editor Butte MINEk:
The stormy part of the session now be-
gins. The river and harbor appropriation
bill is what creates trouble in the house.
Each member wants certain appropriations
for his district. No appropriation, no reelec-
ton; or, "no ticket, no washee," to use a
Chinese washman's maxim. If a member
cannot get the appropriations demanded for
his district, he will oppose the bill on general
principles, ohjecting to it item by tenn. So,
in order to silence the obstreperous ones they
are frequently allowed what they want. FIRE.
quently they want too much, and just where
to draw the line is the trouble.
For instance, Mr.. Pacheco, Of California,
asked for $4,000 for one of the ports below
San Francisco. After half an hours voting
it was lost.
Mr.. Berry, Of the same state, imn.e diately
offered an amendment to the original bill,
asking $50 900. After a while this was voted
down, and the amount stands at the original
figure.
Judge Belford, of Colorado, then arose and
in a very lucid, vigorous and western way of
calling things by their right appellations,sa aid
the public treasury seemed to be regarded as
a kind of political pot-pie, and that members
asked for appropriations for their districts not
particularly because they were needed, but
mainly to secure their reelection. He noticed
that the members from the New England
and Northern states invariably secured fire.
quent and large appropriations, but when the
west asked for anything the members were
looked upon as trying to steal something
from the treasury for som doubtful scheme.
He said that Colorado, since her admission
as a state, had paid 100000 revenue to the
treasury. In order to enable her t. reclaim
some of her arid land, he wanted an appro.
priation of $4,000 to sink three ~artesian
wells, two in that state and one in Arizona
1t Is needless to state that he did not get it
for his speech did not set veil on their stom,
achs.
By and by these New England demagogues
who have been in the habit of running thing'
their own way, will understand that the ives
