Temperance and Politics,

10 inc Eultor OF the indianapolis journal:
1 read in the journal of this morning the very
able and lucid article in reference to prohi bition
as political question. Doubtless all questions
that pertain to the government of a people are
more or less political but are not necessarily
party questions. To make prohibition party
question, is to injure both the party and the
cause of prohibition. This assertion can be
demonstrated in many instances which have &C.
CURED in the politics of Indiana. In the Repub
lcan mass convention of Wayne county, held
last March, offered the following resolution,
which was adopted, and which l submit is a
plain, practical, and unequivocal declaration Of
the sentiment of the Republican party IN this
State
Resolved That the questions of the prohibition
of the manufacture and sale Of intoxicating liquors
and the granting of the right of suffrage to
sense party questions and should be left to
the individual Judgment of each voter without in any
way affecting his party relations. But in the Repub
ican party it is cardinal principle that the people
have the inherent right to alter amend the organic
law of the State at their pleasure and that therefore,
it is the duty of the General Assembly upon the petit
ton of respectable number of citizens to take the
necessary steps to to the voters of the State
opportunity to alter amend the constitution upon
any subject affecting the rights and interests of tina
people"
To declare for prohibition would surely defeat
the party, and as surely defeat prohibition. Ia
declare for submission, is premature; for until
the Legislature has agreed at two sessions to
an amendment, there can be no submission to
the voters. Let the people send up to the Leg
islature their petitions on the subject of prohi-
bition, any other proper subject and if
sucn petitions sufficiently strong in numbers,
as they no doubt will be, Republican Legisla-
ture will, without doubt take the necessary
a vote of the people, T. w. BENNETT

Poultry---Breeds for Laying.

American Agriculturist.
The best breeds of fowls for laying,
are those that suit the climate in which
they are kept. 1t is an oft repeated
inquiry as to which breed is most suit
able, by those who contemplate. poultry
keeping. Such inquiry can only be
answered by those who have expert
mented with different varieties in
different locations. There is no doubt
that the Leghorns,are equal to any
other breed for reproduction, but 1t
does not follow that they are the most
profitable fowl under all circumstances.
They are divided into two classes
the single and rosecombs-and there is
a futher subdivision, in colors. The
nglecOmb varieties of fowls are sub
ject to frozen combs in very cold

Cooperation.

There is no better method by which
farmers may cooperate than in . the
matter of selecting stock. If few
farmers in each community would Or
ganize, and, with small contribution
from each, procure thoroughbreds for
improvement, the expense borne by
each individual would be but little,
while the benefit to all would be very
considerable. Individual effort is often
insignificant, but cooperative effort is
powerful. By union farmers may cas-
lily procure the finest specimens of
Shorthorns, Devons, Jerseys, Holsteins,
Herefords and Angus, the best strains
of thoroughbred Clydesdale, Percheron
and trotting horses; the fne-wooled
Merinos, the massive Cotswolds and
the elegant Shropshires. They may
resort to the Berkshire, Essex, Chester
or Poland China for improvement of
their swine as they may prefer, while
all the advantages pertaining to farm
machinery may be secured and the
cost of production made easier, and
the crops increased. In fact, there is
no limit to cooperation, and the sub
iect is well worthy the attention Of
farmers of all classes. To invest a
few thousand dollars in a horse of well
known merit is not always within the
province of some stock raisers and
farmers, but when by cooperation the
investment becomes of proportionate
sum the venture Is an easy one. ThS
small amount contributed by each be-
comes a factor in augmenting the
wealth of the entire community, as no
estimate can be placed on the value Of
an animal used for improvement Of
stock, the results attained Immediately
being followed by others that are last
ing and permanent. By cooperation
the value of our horses, of all classes,
may be increased, the yields of milk
greater, the clippings of wool larger,
the carcasses of mutton and pork heav'
Ter, and the general productions of the
farm be more satisfactory in all other
respects,

from the crop to the gizzard, it soon
becomes apparent in distended crop,
which cannot be remedied by any
mode of feeding. There is nothing like
prevention, and this may be done by
keeping the fowls warm and dry in
inclement seasons, and giving only
wholesome food.
The disease known as "gapes," which
greatly aflicts the young poultry of
every description, can also be produced
or prevented in great degree by the
mode of feeding and care. The pre-
ventiOn consists in the promotion of
rapid growth that produces vigor and
strength. The lodging places of fowls
should be warm and dry, especially
dry, or when the fowls are in repose,
they are liable to be surrounded with
noxious vapors, the effects of which
appear in sudden colds, sore eyes,
swelled heads and black combs. Fowls
are far too valuable to be exposed in
this manner. They rank by the side
of other stock in profit when good care
is taken Of them. This may not in all
cases be realized. A dozen fresh eggs,

venient for the table when friends

Food that possesses acidity to GER
tain degree is wholesome; beyond that,
it becomes deleterious. Indian meal
for chicks should be freshly prepared
each day. 1t should be scalded, but
should not be fed to any great extent.
Whole grain is much better, for then
the stomach receives it in a natural
state, provided the grain is sound. 1t
is poor policy to feed musty grain, or
heated or mouldy meal. The fowls
cannot get proper nouri8hment from it;
consequently they suffer to greater or
less extent. If there be weakness in

weather, but when properly managed
they escape harm. The difficulty may
be overcome by clubbing" them, as is
done with Games, but as the principal
points of the LeghOrns are given to the
comb, they would thereby be disquali-
fed from competition at the fairs and
poultry shows. A frosted comb would
not be very objectional to those who
only breed fowls for profit and not for
exhibition, but when the comb becomes
frosted, the hen ceases to lay until the
injured member is completely healed.
AS the comb may be frozen several
times during the cold season, the loss
of time from reproduction, owing to
the effect of the temperature, would be
quite an important item. The double
comb varieties, though exposing quite
large surface to the action of cold,
have their combs closer to the head.
In thus noticing so small a matter
as the comb, the object is to present
one of the difficulties in the way Of
keeping breed that never sits, but
lays well. While the breed may not
find favor in cold climates, that is no
reason why it should not be popular in
other sections. As the Leghorns have
their virtues and faults, so do the other
breeds of fowls. In raising fowls for
market, many object to the Brahmas
and Cochins on account of their slow
growth, and this objection may be a
strong one if the fowls are to be sent
to market as chicks, as they do not
feather until well advanced, If ma
tured fowls are intended for shipment
the largest carcasses, with fine appear
ance, may be obtained from such
breeds. The Plymouth Rocks, which
grow fast, and are uniform in appear
ance when young, also make good
market fowls when grown, but, while
they are excellent layers, they are
liable to become excessively fat when
highly fed, especially when they are
confined, which is a hindrance to egg
production. This may also be an OBJ
lection to the Brahmas and Cochins.
The best results are derived from Ply.
mouth rock where they have free range
All breeds do best with freedom, but
the larger ones are more content un
der restriction. 1t is best, therefore
in selecting a breed for laying, to take
into consideration its hardness, fitness
for market, time for maturity, adapta.
bility to climate, and disposition. By
selecting the breeds which possess quail
ties adapting them to the conditions o
the particular section of country, the
best breed for laying as well as fol
other purposes will be secured,
