More Fowls and Less Pork.

1t is just as cheap for the farmer to live
upon poultry and eggs half of the time as to
live continually upon beef and pork. 1t costs
no more to grow fowls than hogs. Th,y rus
tie for themselves equally as well, and serve
as good purpose in picking up waste about
the farm. They are more palatabe as food,
are healthier and may be had fresh at all
times. This being the case, we hope that the
day is near at hand when every farmers barn
yard will be poultry yard, and when chick
ems. turkeys, ducks and geese will no longer
be regarded as a luxury. but become a staple
of the country and adorn the tables of the
poor as well as the rich. These birds cannot
live on the commons, hide their nests in the
stock yards, and roost in the trees, but they
are healthy and profitable ifrightly managed.
Too many regard it an unimportant branch of
husbandry, and neglect to give it due consid
Grafton. They say that chickens eat their
heads off many times in yard, and that it
don't pay to bother with them even when eggs
are worth fifty cents per dozen and birds fifty
cents each. The reason of this they do not
manage their poultry but let the poultry man
age themselves. There is no branch of farm
ing that would paw better, if run in tho prop
er manner than poultry.

These are the chief changes pro-

The trouble lies in the fact that there
i, a large field for reform in our army

for existence In the unwieldy orgeni-

drafting and putting through to I'll

sive scheme Of army reform which
would place the service abreast o.

1.-THE house Is the only master l
shall recognize" was the concl iding
sentence Of Mr.. Humphreys inaugural
when he assumed the speakers chair.
The house gave Mr. Humphrey its
confidence In return for this assur-
ance. Impressed with his earnest,
out.spoken pledge this paper accorded
Speaker Humphrey unreserved faith
In his sincerity. While VIZ knew him
to be a recent convert to anti.monop.
oily principles, we believed that he
would fulfill his pledges to tho letter.
Our faith in Mr.. Humphrey has been
sadly shaken. His choice cf
members on the railroad com
mittee has shown him TO
be q mere tool Of the monopolies, and
his reckless disregard of all parlia.
mentary usage in the discharge of his
official duties has proved him unwor.
thy Of the position he holds.
The speaker of the house is In
duty bound to obey the mandates Of
the body over which he presides, and
when that mandate Is expressed he
is expected to assist the house in ex'
ecuting it's orders. One Of the cardinal
- "
rules of all public bodies is that nc
measures shall be intrusted to its
opponents. In appointing committees
1t i, the rule to select from the sup
porters Of the proposition, and es'
pecially does this apply to the mover

thst speaker to select four members
Of the joint committee or
railroads, the speaker was il
honor and duty bound to carry
out Of the order Of the house by select
ing his committee from among those
who supported the resolution. Wher
Speaker Humphrey made the choic'
of four men who had gone on the re
cord as opponents of the resolution
creating the committee, he was moi
merely guilty Of disrespect to thu
house and q breach of d~ecorum, bu.
he also became an INSTRUCTOR of legis
~lation. There can be no possible OK
cuse for such conduct, and the people

SPEAKER HUMPHREYS has disappoint-
cd the expectations of many of hin best
friends by yielding to monopoly in
flences in the appointment Of the
house committees. His arbitrary ac-
tion In the nomination of the men who
are to compose the special railroad
committee from the house places him
tquarely on record as an obstruction
ist to all railroad legislation, and a
oatspaw for the corporations to pull
their ches!nuts out Of the legislative
fire. 1t remains to be seen whether
the cheetnuts can be raked. The
temper Of the house in its vote on the
Reynolds resolution Is not very en-
couraging to the railroad attorneys,
and furnishes anything but a good
basis for Speaker Humphreys zeal in
obeying the distates of the monopolies.
