Don't Kin the Old Hens.

When hens are shedding feathers they often
stop laying and grow fat. Most PEOPLE consi-
der fat, sign of health. The fatteninE of
moulting hens however as with some people
produces debility rather than health. Many
of the worst ses OF Group are contracted,
while the hens are moulting.
The God of mou ting hens. if largely vege.
table is fatformng. and not required for
growing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens
get very fat. They nee more nitrogen and
phosphate clements in their food when moul-
ting which if not supplied they stop laying,
because the growing feathers have used all,
and left no nltrOgenOuS matter to form eggs
At this season, ling old hens and re wing on
young pulltt Is IS Il great mistake, Whole peo-
pl have few hens and late bullets, Because,
If properly fed the hens will have their new
plumage and lay well alt winter: while thu
pu lets unless specially treated may not COM

for eggs have fallen one ha f. Again an old

A Heartless Experiment.

The desperation of the democratic cause
is shown in no better way than gin the
manner in which the managers of the
campaign are dragging their estimabe
but aged and lnfirm candidate, Judge
Thurman, Laround the country. Having
received the nomination simply because
it was thought that his respectable name
might help out the head of the ticket he
cannot he called volunteer in this hippo
droming act. He undoubtedly does not
feel at liberty to refuse the commands
of his managers; but he has repeatedly
said in substance since the campaign be-
gan that he preferred to be at home and
was more fit to he there than anywhere
else and he ought to have been taken at
his word. Having grown old in the ser
vice of his party and then set
aside by democratic national con
ventioss he at last finds prefer
ment only when it must be added to a
weight of years, which makes it too heavy
u burden for his strength. or course
the men who are dragging him around
plead necessity as their excuse. The
head of the ticket being the least popular
with his own party of any president since
Andre Johnson, it would not do to eXhib-
it him in any political tour, so they have
felt obliged to take the chances of risking
the life of Judge Thurman in order to put
little appearance of life into their can
vass But the experiment has proved an
utter failure.
The scenes which attended Mr.. Thur
mans attempts to speak in New York,
and again in Newark Saturday night, are
described as pitiable in the extreme.
While men of all parties will give their
sincere sympathy to Mr.. Thurman and
hope that his present indisposition will
prove only temporary, all sensible persons
must regard this attempt of the demo-
cratic managers to divert attention from
Mr.. Cleveland as a heartless experiment,
which deserves the severest condemna-
ton. If he survives the canvass, it will
be the best that can be expected, and
etter than many fear for him.
