POULTRY ITEMS.

If you are searching your fiocks for
the good layers, select the pullets that
have long combs and long bOdies.-Farm
Journal.
If the question were put to every ex-
perienced poultry breeder: ''To what
cause are nine-tenths of the diseases OF
chickens to be attributed?' the reply
would probably be: ''Vermin and damp
ness. ."-American Poultry Yard.
WHEN a flock of hens do not pay, the
best plan is to pick out the ones that
are laying and sell off the others. 1t is
sometimes the case that there are too
many of them together. A few hens
well kept will produce more eggs, pro-
portionately, than larger number.
The most successful breeders of ducks
use turnips cooked and thickened with
bran for ducklings, and they serve as a
very satisfactory diet for geese in win
ter. But little grain is necessary If
poultry are we'll supplied with cooked
roots.
ONE of the most interesting features
of the turkey business is the way tur-
keys are put on the market The farmer
who dallies in this branch of the bucolic
profession is blessed with one article
which he does not have to cart dozen
or more miles to town and hawk around
from door to door.

Acute and chronic Chambers.

The PODular Line

To the East is the Burlington Route
(Hannibal 81 st. Joseph railrOad). The
service by this line has been constantly
improved until it has reached a degree
of excellence surpassed by none, and
equaled by few. The BurlingtOn'S
''Eli' is probably the finest and most
popular train running between the Mis-
souri, river and Chicago, being a solid
through Vestibule train of Pullman
sleepers and free chair cars Leaving
Kansas City, AtchisOn and st. Joseph
after supper, the passenger arrives In
Chicago at 9:15 in the morning. Hav-
ing taken breakfast on one of the Bur-
ingtOn's world renowned dining cars,
he is ready for the days business, or In
ample time to make all Eastern con-
nectiOns.
For the convenience of passengers
from Kansas City ELI" takes dining
car out of Kansas City on which east
bound passengers are served with a
supper which is equaled by few hotels
The BurlingtOn's st. Louis line,
though comparatively new, is becoming
better known and growing in popular
favor every day until it bids fair in the
near future to be the favOrite line be-
tween the Missouri river and st. Louis.
This train, consisting of through sleep
ers. chair cars and coaches, leaves Kan
sas City, Atchison and st. Joseph after
supper and puts the passenger in St.
Louis for breakfast, and ample time to
make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in
mind that the Burlington Kansas City,
st. Joseph & Council Bluffs r. R. is
the only line running through Pullman
Buffet Sleepers between Kansas City
and st. Joseph and ST. Paul and Mime
apOlis This is the short line between
Kansas City, st. Joseph and Omaha
Through daily trains with sleeping and
chair cars.
In whatever direction you travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burling-
ton Route, thereby insuring yourself
the greatest amount of comfort, with
the least expense of money and time.

The steady argument Of the free trader Is that
II the steamship lines were established we
could not increase our trade because We pro-
duce under our protective tarin nothing that
can compete in neutral markets with arti-
cles Of the like kind from England. How then
can the free trader explain the fact that long
list Of articles manufactured in the
United States find ready and large sale
in Canada! The Canadian tariff is the
same upon English and American goods. Trans
portation from England to Quebec or Montreal
Is cheaper than from the manufacturing centers
Of the United States to the same points. The
difference is not great but 1t is in favor Of the
English shipper and not Of the American ship
per by railway. 1t is for the free trader to ex-
plain why, If the cost Of transportation be made
the same, the United States'can not compete
with England in every country in South Amer
lea in all the articles of which we sell larger
amount n Canada than England does. In no
event can the growth OF large fortunes be laid
to the charge OF protective policy. Protection
has proveda distributor of great sums Of money,
not an agency for amassing 1t in the hands Of q
few. Large fortunes were acquired from rail-
way and telegraph investments, from real-estate
investments, from importation and sale Of for
eign goods, from banking, from speculations in
stocks, from fortunate mining Investments,
from patented inventions, and more than one
from proprietary medicines. 1t is safe to go
even further and state that In the one hundred
largest fortunes that have been viewed as such
In the last ten years not five have been derived
from the profits OF protected manufactures"

Because George w. Cable was the
guest of an intelligent and excellent

these circumstances, it is a distinction
to be proud of--Milwaukee Sentinel.
EB-The first year of the new Ad.
