Incubators are no doubt good, but you
have to buy them. Then the temperature
must be regulated with precision, the heat
be kept up, the lamps trimmed, the oil re-
newed and the eggs be moistened and reg
ularly turned over. VIII you do t2at?
Then you may try one. But the best and
cheapest incubator is the hen. She don't
have to be taught and she thoroughly un-
derstands the business.

The city OF New York consumes over
100000, 900 tons of dressed poultry annu-

per pound amounts to 2O,OOO,OOO.
Of this immense poultry product six or
seven million dollars worth is sent to US

raise it all at home? We have the best

PROTECTION OF GOLD md SILVER.

PROTECTION or GOLD md SlLTER.
Wells-Fargo make the usual yearly report OF
production of precious metals, and Mr.. Valen-
tines statement will receive the greater atten-
tion now because the Director OF the Mint has
practically discontinued the attempt to furnish
official accounts for fiscal years, and his annual
reports, appearing months after the calendar
wear has closed, come too late to be OF much
public service. Mr.. Valentine makes the out
put for 1888: gold, $27,S16,610; silver,
$l2,975,1O copper, $5,6S3,92l; lead,
So, 1G3, $50 total, $s4,639,212.
This statement. as usual, excludes production
east of the Missouri, which the Mint makes
$3.50, 900 gold and $4,000 silver for 1882.
Assuming that the Mint is right as to the pro-
duction of Georgia, North and South Carolina
and Virginia, and that the yield in those States
was the same last year, Mr.. Valentines report
would make the aggregate $2S,296,64O gold
and $43, O0O 1O1 silver for 1888.
The old difference continues, however Mr.
Burchard, Director of the Mint, while making
no detailed statement in his latest
annual report dated October 20, said,
"The production of gold in the
calendar year 1888 will probably be
" at least half million less, and that of silver
" at least two millions greater than that of the
"previous year." which nc had officially re-
ported as 1872, 100000 gold and $46.300,000
silver. That is, Mr.. Burchard believed that
So, 100000 gold was produced, and Wells
Fargo say only 2S,296,640 Mr. Burchard
believed that $4S, 100000 silver was produced,
and WELSH Fargo say the amount was only
SIS, O00 101. 1t cannot be denied that the
round figures issued by the Mint suffer sadly
in comparison with the regular and prompt
statements so accurately prepared by Mr. Val
entine. The difference between them is not
explained by the fact that Mr.. Valentine pro-
perly reports the bullion value of silver while
the Mint reports the coinage value, for, while
this would very nearly explain the discrepancy
as to silver there remains difference of about
SIS, 700, 900 as to gold.
The Wells-Fargo statement, because made
with desirable prOmptness, and based upon
records of actual shipments, is likely to pass
into monetary history rs the most trustworthy
record of production. Yet competent status
ticians hold that 1t has been on the whole less
accurate than the Mint estimates, DOtwthstand-
ing their unfortunate mode of prescntment. 1t
is a pity that official figures must so often come
too late to receive the attention that they de-
serve.

DISTRICT REPRESENTATION ONCE MORE

DISTRICT REPRESENTATIONS ONCE MORE
The Buffalo Commercial, whose editor is
Chairman Of the Republican State Committee
in an article on district representation, says:
The State Committee will soon meet The subjects
referred to above will up for consideration, ard it
is perfectly safe to say that every IT, committee
will do bis utmost TO further plan that shall give
full and fair effect 10 the rules prescribed by the National
Committee and shall carry the spirit the Chicago
Conventions resolutions.
1t is fair to assume that in this Mr.. Warren
speaks the sentiments of every member of the
committee. Doubts have been expressed in
some quarters as to the good faith of the COM
mittee. We do not share them. The National
Convention of 1880, the highest authority in
the party the body of last resort, provided for
district representation. 1t laid its commands
upon the National Committee. That committee
has somewhat tardily done its duty. 1t remains
now for the State Committee to act Not that
the district conventions cannot be held without
the intervention of the State Committee, but
that the committee is the proper source from
which the initiative should come.

of Congressional district conventions, and

II was mentioned last week that the money

money still goes on. The banks now report

OOO 900 more than they held in 1882, $2S, OOO,-
900 more than in 1881, and $40, 600 900 more

mounted to 1911, 919, 100, and the deposits to

occurs to these far Western statesmen that their

A Coon ExAMPLF-In these days when most
controversies seem to lead to bad words and bad
blood, the gentleman's way of settling business
dispute merits notice. A shining example was
afforded by two members Of the Produce Exchange,
who disputed about the posting Of certain
wheat. At the hearing, one party distinctly
dsavowed any suspicion of bad faith, but urged
that the other had Inexperienced or overlooked a
rule cited. The other party honOraby admitted
that the rule cited had been overlooked, and that
his opponent had been justfable. There are some
people in the world who will respect both of these
gentlemen the more highly for their conduct in
this matter
