for Congress in this district before the Dem
ocratic Nominating Convention soon to be

appeared in the DAILY REQUISITES at a time
when | was busily engaged in the examina-
question pending in the court of an sdjoin-

delay.
have upon several occasions, perhaps
upon frequent occasions, said to my friends
within the past year that was not can
didate for Congress, and would not seek
nomination. do not think should say
more now. and certainly not if any friend
has been induced to shape his course by
that may have said. II. however, in the
opinion of the convention | could best serve
the party aud nomination were rendered
could not decline it. but it is not probable
at this day that nomination could be con.
ferred BY the majority party upon any gen
tlenan who does not seek it. The district
is certainly Democratic and can be carried
as such but it Willrequire thorough organ
ization and active canvass.
The nomination Of Cleveland takes well
Eare. If the second man shall be as &C
ceptable and the platform in accord with
the spirit Of progress the Democracy will
sweep the country. | am greatly obliged

Chickens Eating Their Heads Off.

Cor. Prairie Farmer.
Thousands of farmers let their poultry
scratch for a living" In winter, feet,
wattles and comb are frozen off and
the birds are nearly always halfstarved.
In summer they are infested with lice,
steal their living like crows, at the ex-
pense of the garden and the patience
and happiness of the over-worked farm
er's wife. They roost on fences and in
trees, exposed to all kinds of weather
aud the prey of hawks and owls.
Their nests are broken up by hogs, or
their eggs are sucked by worthless
dogs. When approached on the sub
ject of poultry>raising some will say
as my neighbor did the other day,
pointing to couple of forlori, ragged
chicks, sit don't pay to raise chickens.
They eat their heads of. I s'pose
them chickens have eat enough to
raise steer. Have to raise few to
please my wife. Some how my hogs
always was chicken>eaters, and that
dog of mine, 1 think, sometimes sucks
an egg. That's all fancy talk about
money in poultry. [ hear they have
machines now to pop chickens out
just like corn. They don't work
though. Smith down at Menard
county bought two 9OO-egg incubators.
He set 'em to hatchin' an 500 didn't
pop, and that did had four legs. 1t
just walked around over them eggs
with its four legs for about half an
hour, a huntin' of its mother, then
died of broken heart. He turned
one of the machines into a beehive
and the other into kindling wood, with
success in favor of the latter, I've
heard that you've made money with
poultry, Mr.. Fleetwood, what'd ad.
wise me to do?"
"Well, my friend, feed and take
care of your poultry. Kill that dog.
Hogs are taught to eat chickens by the
farmers neglect both Of hogs and
poultry. Get out of that kind of stock.
have place for your chickens. Treat
your hens as we'll as you do yourself.
If you want eggs, protect your fowls
and feed them. It's the feed thai
makes the egg. No feed no eggs,
Don't forget that hen is an egg ma
chine. She takes food matter and con
verts it into albumen, oil, and shell
The assimilation Of the greatest amour
of the proper food Of, course gives thu
| greatest amount Of egg production
Contraction of feed means diminutior
of egg supply. Then feed well, keel
your fowls safe from bad conditions o
