FEED THE GROWING CHICKS WE'LL.
IN June and July your early spring
chickens are growing more rapidly than
at. any other period of the year. They
love the warm weather, if they are OF the
larger varieties, especially and ii they
have roaming room, they cannot we'll be
over-fed, because they find such a variety,
of insect aud green food in the course Of
their daily journeys around the farm or
country plat.
Their condition is quite different from
that of adult or maturely grown fowls.
These may be over-fed easily, and will
put on fat internally, to their discom-
future and detriment. But the young
stock, in good thrift, convert what they
leat into flesh, bone and muscle, and con-
ltinue to thrive during the. heated season
upon all they will ordinarily pack away
iin their craws, particularly If allowed q
variety Of good %provender.
Don't stint them, therefore, in feed
ing, but give them all they will eat up
clean. Thus they will grow in stature
and keep generally in good health. 1t
lis a mistake to under-feed the growing
chickens. They require more solid food
from the time they are three to six or
seven months of age, in proportion,
chan at any time before or after ward in
their lives. This fact is worth observ-
ing and remembering by all who aim to
have the chest bicds' in the succeeding

One of the villainous lies the Pingree
men are circulating about Mr.. Rich was
thus mailed" by ex-Gov. Luce while in
Detroit the other day: IL heard to-day
to my surprise criticism passed on the
record of John L. Rich as railroad COM
missioner, and will take this occasion
to say that any such criticism is entire
ly out of place and unjustifiable. Mr..
Rich was one of the best railroad COM
missioners this state or any other state
ever had. He was always ready to re-
spond to the calls of those who made
complaints against the railroads be-
cause of alleged discrimination or want
of prompt shipping facilities, and he
always enforced the rights of the peo-
pie against the railroads, at the same
time doing full justice to the roads. His
record as railroad commissioner is alb
solutely unassailable."

The senate last Friday passed the
Stewart free coinage bill by vote of
20 to %. An analysis of the vote shows
() that there were thirty-four senators
absent or not voting; (2) that of the
twenty-nine voting in favor of the bill,
seventeen were Democrats and twelve
Republicans; (3) that all the Democrats
voting for the bill were anti-Cleveland
men and, excepting Hill of New York,
all Southern Democrats. The silverites
had, therefore, majority of only four
in vote of little more than half the
senate. The bill will now go the house,
where its fate is doubtful. 1t is quite
evident that the bill was urged at this
time by its promoters as a direct slap
at the silver plank in the Chicago plat
form and to perplex and embarrass Mr..
Cleveland at the outset of his cam
paign. President Harrison would un-
doubtedly veto the bill in case it got
safely through the house. The sugges-

The National Republican Committee
is organized for the campaign with
Hon. w. j. Campbell of Illinois as chair
man; Cornelius N Bliss, the New York
banker, as treasurer, and Land Com
missioner Carter of Montana, who did
such gallant service for Harrison at
Minneapolis, secretary. 1t is stated
that one of Chairman Campbell's first
official acts will be to invite General
Charleston to cooperate with him in
some leading official capacity. Land
Commissioner Carter will shortly resign
his Office and devote his entire time
and energies to the work of the cam
paign. l.. M. Tichener of Indiana says:
"Mr. Campbell is one of the shrewdest
politicians in the country. In my opin-
ion it was by far the best selection that
could have been made"

He can take the work without any real
break in its continuity, and will con-
duct It's pending affairs intelligently,

thoroughly equipped diplomatist. He
has had large experience as minister
abroad, and for the strictly depart
mental work no man could be found
better prepared to discharge its duties
satisfactorily
There are several important matters
pending in the state department which
will require immediate attention. First
among these are the incompleted negoti-
ations with Canada, which will probably
be resumed with some prospect of salts
factory settlement. Having been con-
nected with these negotiations from the
first, General Foster is peculiarly quail
fed to carry them forward to compile
ton.
Financially the acceptance of the
Secretaryship is sacrifice, but it is a
great honor to be enrolled among the
American Secretaries of State. 1t is
