Ii you contemplate buying brsedine-blrds,

of half an inch, and after tn is is done sprinkle
over the nest some crushed tobacco leaves or in
sect powder. Now place your hen on the nest
during the evening, and let her set for q day or
two on one or more nest eggs, and az soon as she
settles down to business remove the nest eggs
and place under her the eggs for Matching.
Some breeders arrange their nests that

eggs that are soiled in warm water and then re-
place them In the nest. During the period OF
incubatioD have fresh water always where the
hens can get it. and, also. have before them
whole grain, such as wheat, oats and corn mixed.
Don't give any soft feed Also have convent

Do not give the young chicks anything to eat

or under the wings, rub bit of lard Keep
the mother confined, but let the young chicks
have all the range they wish, but don't let them
run in the wet grass until they are eight or ten
weeks old. Keep the brood GOODS clean, and
also the dishes in which their drink and food is
placed. and never give chicks more soft food at

green food each day after the first week in the
shape of chopped lettuce. grass or fiDely-chopped
onions or potatoes. Also, be sure to mix in a
little finely ground bone-mea1 with the soft food
every day after the first week.
Treat your young chicks as above directed,

amply rewarded for your trouble.

they are plundered there would be a

Mr.. J. c. Beattle of Ell Paso, Texas,
testified: that he was q raiser, buy

fresh meat four or five days old,
something that was entirely new

them that his obligations to Mr..
Armour were such that he could
not get the cars for them to ship

result was that the refrigerator had
to be shut down. Then Mr.. Ar

AMEND THE INTERSTATE LAW.

For q long time past there has
been so much talk of increasing
railroad earnings that the public
was much surprised last week when
the New York Central, a prudent
and conservative company, reduced
rates to prevent loss Of trade. So
the exigencies of stock speculation,
for more than a year after the In
ter-State law went into effect, led
people to encourage the belief that
the railroads would after all be
greatly benefited and not harmed
at all by that enactment. Bun
there are not many railroad mana
gers now who do not privately adj
NIT that the act has been playing
the mischief with them, and rem
derirg railroad prosperity impossi-
bic unless it can be materially
amended, The returns Of net earn
ings for September on twenty-eight
roads show a loss of 81, 100000, or
over seven per cent. The returns
for larger number of roads, ninety
in all for nine months ending with
September show a loss of $9,949,-
S64. or about eight per cent. Yet
these are not among the worst, but
among the best of the roads.
The Wheeling Intelligence cop
les the above from the New York
Tribune. AS soon as the Legisla-
ture meets let it instruct our repre-
sentatives at Washington to resist
every attempt by the railroads to
destroy this, the only protection
the people have.

THE SCHEME ON FOOT.
In reply to a correspondent we

In reply to a correspondent we
say:
l. There is no reason why we
should bring down on our unpro-
tected head a tornado of villifica-
ton, by exposing the scheme he re-
fers to. Our correspondent is posted
about it, why don't he publish the
facts. He draws a salary FROM tax
payers; we do not.
II. We DO not know, for certain,
who in West Virginia are interested
in this deal. But unless they get
their pay in advance, we don't be-
lieve they viii share in the profits.
Metropolitan sharpers expect to
ever-reach provincial sharpers; and
we sincerely hope they will. When
the Legislature meets West Vir-
ginia's end of the deal will be dis
closed.
III. The deal won't 60 through.
There are some very able men in
this State who know the inside Of
the deal much better than "the
dealers" themselves. They have
kept quiet and collected evidence to
be used before an investigating
committee. The Bank of England
has not money enough to buy, and
Wall street has not brains enough
to circumvent these men who are on
guard.
". A private letter this day
sent to our correspondent gives all
the information he asks.
V. An investigating committee
will have full power to unearth the
facts. 1t can take testimony in
New York or anywhere else. 1t can
compel men to answer. 1t can en-
ploy counsel. TGere would be no
trouble to find money for expenses.
The moment the body Of the people
wake up to the fact that powerful
private interest is trying to prevent
an efficient investigation, public
opinion will compel the Legislature
to appropriate money to prosecute
the exposure. The committee could
not dodge. Too many men would
insist on its doing its duty.
VI Our correspondent need not
be uneasy. This matter is fully
known to at least 90 of the truest
men in the State. We are much
surprised that he is not better
posted.

SENSIBLE, VERY SENSIBLE
Huntington Times.

Various reasons will be given in
explanation of this result, and every
politician will have theory of his
own, but we think that Mr.. Kenna
brought Mr.. Randall to the Kama
wha valley few years ago to lee
ture the miners in regard to the
beauties and advantages of protec-
ton by high taIiff they took the
lessons then taught as good and
wholesome logic, and have been
practicing those teachings ever
since. They could not understand
that high tariff as taught then was
not good for the miner now, and
their votes went against the
Democracy.
