GENERAL MALONE is in WASHINGTON.
In reply to question as to the status
OF the campaign in his State, he said:
II know nothing, absolutely nothing,
about it, have not been in Virginia
since the campaign opened, ard / do
not expect to be there unless called
thither by private business. AS YOU
are aware, the Republican State
central committee advised against
the nomination of Republican
State ticket. The committee preferred
that the Democratic factions should
tight out their differences among them
selves. And so you sec we Republicans
nave no interest in the fight except as
onlookers, l do not assume to speak
for the Republicans of Virginia, but
am told that they will support the
Populist ticket, because the success of
Enc Populists means fair elections in
virginia. Washington Dispatch.
The TIMES. for one. is glad to know
what the success of the Populists in
this State means. Thus far in the
campaign, as far as has been reported
the Populists have not touched upon this
subject, but have been advocating
something about free silver and de-
nunciation OF the Democratic party
How the Republicans, too, can swallow
The Populist pill is inconceiyable.

New YORK has named its new chin
panzee "Chico." A few of the Irish
residents of the city made kick awhile
ago against christening the animals at
the park with such names as mike
"Pete," Crowley" etc, and the present
nomenclature probably results out of
respect to their protestations of dis
approval.

The good work being done by the
Central Democratic Club is going
bravely on. Its speakers. at the meet
ings held in the several wards in the
city are creating an enthusiasm which
forbodes disaster to the Populist
party on November z. The action
of the club last night in appointing four
men for each ward, to thoroughly can
vass their districts, is in line with pre-
vious suggestions OF the party leaders
and OF The TIMES. 1t is way by which

THE victory over the repeal bill con-
test Is the same as won. Chairman
Voorhees, has, in the interim of the OBJ
structionist lengthy speeches, finally
obtained vote, and by this vote is
shown how the fight will probably go
to-day, or by the first of next week at
the latest, on the final adoption of TIE
the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act. PETERS sill
yer amendment was defeated by ma
jority OF eleven. In those twent Height
votes lay the full strength of the silver
ties and it shows that the last nail in
their coffin has been driven. It is
reasonable to suppose that the final
vote upon Voorhees, bill, which now is
substituted for the Wilson bill as passed
by the House, will be more convincingly
in favor of the administration plan than
was the defeat OF tho PETER amendment

Roup and Dampness

The most frequent inquiry received
by us is that referring to roup, and al
though the subject has been discussed
in these columns many times, yet we re-
ceive numerous letters in regard to it,
The hens that are exposed, or that have
constitutional or hereditary weakness Of
any kind, are most subject to it. Roup
may be known by discharges from the
nOStrils, swollen eyes, or swollen head.
Sometimes, in it's most violent form, a
very foul Odor is present. 1t may be
caused, also, by any kind of draft of
air on the hens, especially at night, and
as it may be months before a cure can
be effected, any attempt in that direc-
ton only involves labor and may be fruit
less, especially as hens that have been
attacked by roup seldom become en-
tirely well, being liable to attacks on
Slight proyocations. Dampness is the
principal cause Of roup, and as the win
ter is coming the poultry house must be
put in condition to protect the fowls
from leaks or drafts. Cures are Of no
avail, as recovery may be but tempo
rary. In case Of roup, destroy the sick
birds at once, as the disease is conta-
gious.

EDITED BY e. W. AMsDEN,
Heavy Feeders.

1t is sometimes used as an objection
against certain hens of the flock that
they are heavy feeders and add too much
to the cost. Before a decision is made
on this point, the poultryman should
compare the cost Of the food with the
results obtained from the hens. A hen
must consume certain quantity of food
in order to produce a large number Of
eggs The eggs are simply the food
converted into something Of different
shape and composition. 1t is Of no adj
vantage to have a flock Of hens that con-
sumo but little food if they do not lay.
A productive hen should have a good
appetite, and in fact it is an indication
Of health and thrift when she shows
disposition to readily seek her food and
consume large share.
In the summer, when the hens are on
a range, they have greater opportunities
for securing a variety. 1t is when the
hens are kept in bounds during the
storms of winter that the judgment Of
the farmer must be exercised. If hen
is heavy feeder, do not surfeit her with
corn, but give her variety. Let her
eat as much as she will if she is supplied
with plenty of bulky food as long as she

are not present, and also that the prob
lem of preserving eggs is solved keeping
no males, the farmer should hereafter
make it a rule to do away with males. en-
tirely, unless chicks are to be Matched.
With the non-sitting breeds, where eggs
only are desired, and not chicks, the
male is useless member of the flock.

A Test With Laying Hens.

Peahaps it is safe in stating that Il
large ma jority Ct those who keep poultry
are Of the opinion that in order to have
the hens under the best conditions for
laying, male must be in the yard With
them. If eggs are desired with the OBJ
iect Of Matching chicks it is necessary to
have male with the hens, but as hens
will lay as many eggs when no males are
present as when with them, the feeding
of lot of useless males may be dis
carded. Recent experiments by Mr.. w.
p Wheeler, at the New York expert
mental station, Geneva, in which he
selected four yards Of pullets, in order to
test the value of the males. demonstrated
that males are entirely unnecessary. In
fact, the pullets in yards containing no
males not only laid more eggs than did
the pullets that were with males, but
also produced eggs at less cost.
The demonstration of this fact by an
actual test will effect a revolution in the
keeping of laying hens. 1t means saw
ing of food, less disposition to quarrel,
better keeping qualities Of the eggs, and
a cheapening Of the cost Of the eggs, as
we'll as a saving Of the space occupied by
males which should be given to hens or
bullets. Those who desire to hatch
chicks can select dozen of the best fe-
males and confne them in yard with
pure-bred male AS one male can sire Il
thousand chicks in one year, it is plain
that but few males are necessary. The
usual practice is to allow one male with
ten hens, which c0mpels the feeding Of
100 males if as many thousand hens are
retained.
The greatest advantage derived, in ad-
ditiOn to the increase of eggs and the
saving of food, labor and space, is that
eggs from hens not with males will keep
three or four times as long as will eggs
from hens that are with males. If eggs
are to be preserved, it is detrimental to
keep males in the tlOcks When it is
considered that large mum Der of males
become expensive, and that the hens
will produce more eggs when the males

M ales for Producing Broi ers.

BY using a pure-bred male with your
common hens, good broilers may be Sc
cured. We suggest the Plymouth Rock
or Brahma, owing to their hardness
and quick growth. If you will retain
the best pullets Of the cross and use a
pure bred male next year, your broilers
will then be three fourthS bred. We
suggest this as some do not care to 60
to the expense of buying pure-bred fe-
males. By using good males great
improvement can be accomplished in
two seasons, or even one year The best
time to get the male is in the fall, as
prices will be higher in the spring.
