NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Republicans Ginning Governor and
Both COngressmen.


Special Dispatch to The Etenng Star
CONCORD. n. H., November 5-Wln the
vote tomorrow be a landslide, or just a
plain, everyday republican victory? That
is the question that is agitating the political
prophets today. In this state, where the
election of governor is usually thrown into
the legislature by the closeness of the pop
ular vote, a plurality for Busel OF 5000
would be equal to the large majorities that
have been given in Vermont and Maine
this fall, while 1000 would be a Waterloo
for the democratic party in this stats.
Here is an authoritative republican view
Of the situation from one of the members
of the state committees: I'VE shall carry
the state for Busiel by a majority of 500
or 10000. Our meetings have been more
largely attended than in any prior CAM
paign for many years. and the attendance
is made UP in part by democrats, who are
thinking deeply on the issues presented to
the people. Almost every town reports
democrats who openly proclaim their in
tendon OF voting the republican ticket as q
rebuke to the mismanagement of the demo-
cratic party in Congress. Both republican
candidates for Congress will be elected by
pluralities in excess OF 100"
In a speech at Manchester, Congressman
Blairs opinion of the result was EXPRESSED
much to the same effect, when he claimed a
majority for Busiel OF not less than 10000,
and 5000 for Sulloway, republican candi-
date for Congress in that district. The re-
publican vote, by the accession of demo-
Gratis bids fair to be largely in excess Of
that cast in the presidential year.
The democratic state committee comedies
the election OF Busiel, but think il may be
thrown into the legislature, which will be
largely republican. They do not give up
the congressional districts, and hope to
carry at least one of the two.
A state committee man said today: In
the first congressional district the demo-
Gratis have vigorously attacked Sideways
record, he having formerly been a green
hacker and free-trader, and having voted
for Cleveland against Blaine in 1884 But
perhaps the most savage attack that has
Senator Chandler had said of him after
Sufloway has accused the Senator Of pay
ing money for votes when he was last
chosen to the Serate."
These charges of Chandler against Sullo-
way have been freely distributed over the
district in pamphlet form, and passed out
to voters, as they have gone in to attend
the campaign meetings that Sulloway has
addressed, and cannot have been without
some effect
In the second district Henry NJ. Baker of
Bow is the republican candidate for re-
election, and is opposed by Farmer Nc
Daniel of Springfield, one of the state leaders
of the Patrons of Husbandry, and we'll
known and popular citizen. The fight
against Mr.. Baker has been largely per-
sonal and very spirited, and, as his cleo
ton was carried by small plurality two
years ago, the democrats hope to be able
to land their candidate.

TOMORROW'S BATTLE
MIR. MEREDITH,s DISTRICT.
A Conservative Estimate Puts the
Democratic Majority at 1000.

Democratic Majority AT <,OOO.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
MANASSAS Va, November 5.-The poltt-
ical battle in this district is about over.
All three parties claim the district, but
the populists are practically out OF the
fight; in fact, have never been in 1t, and
the contest from start to finish was be-
tween the republicans and democrats, as
1t has all along been conceded that the
populsts would draw about equally from
each Of these parties thus not affecting
the result. Mr.. Merediths majority In 1892
was 1900, but at that time no republican
was in the field, the republican vote being
divided between the populist and demo-
cratic tickets. The usual democratic major
ity in the district is 1000. This Will un-
doubtedly be cut down some, but to what
extent remains to be seen. Notwithstand-
ing the hard work of Mr.. Meredith and his
co-workers there still exists more or less
apathy on the part of the democrats.
Another thing that will lose him votes is
satisfaction caused by the distribution
OF patronage. This district lies nearest to
and surrounds Washington on the Virginia
side and large number of the people want
ed to serve their country in Washington
offices, and all could not be accommodated
Mr.. Meredith said this morning that he
estimated his majority all the way from
1,5OO to 5000. Prince William county VIII
give 400 majority, Loudoun 800, Fauquler
500, Orange 800, Culpeper 200, Fairfax 4OO,
Alexandria city and county 800, while the
counties Of Stafford, Louisa and King
George are conceded to the republicans by
200 to 400 each
On the other hand, Mr.. McCaull has made
hard fight, and has undoubtedly won
votes, and notwithstanding the former
heavy democratic majorities says he is con-
fident of success. Stafford, King George
and Louisa counties he claims by large
ma jorities as well as Culpeper county, his
home, and the others, ne says, will be so
close as to throw the balance in his favor.
A conservative estimate by one who has
thoroughly Travelled the district puts the
democratic majority at 1000 Mr. Meredith
voted for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law, but in this campaign has
everywhere declared himself for free silver
at the ratio Of 10 to l, and that he would
hereafter vote for II when opportunity of
fered.
Mr.. Mason Is for free silver first, last and
and all the time, and says the tariff is only
a side issue.
Mr.. McCauI has declared for free silver,
though the convention that nominated him
refused to go on record favoring it on a
10 to / basis The district Is principally
agricultural and embraces some of the
finest Piedmont lands. and the arguments
have mainly been for and against the
Wilson bill. The campaign has been mark
ed by the utmost good feeling both
sides.
The new Walton election law goes into
effect for the first time. The campaign
closes here today with speeches by Eppa
Hunton, jr., for the democrats and Brad.
Beverly and X. H. Tyler for the populists.

not know him, but we feel sure he has
signed the wrong name. If we mis-
take not he displays the ear marks of

verdict OF pOsterity be that a putatlve
great man OF yesterday has dwindled to
a little big man to-day. Some humorous
sage has recently said that when q pub

idea that he is q big gun he should be
fired" Is it not about time for the DEM

Keep Fowls in Small Flocks.

Hundreds of poultry raisers think they
can successfully keep from one to two
or more hundred fowls in one flock.
Many have tried the experiment, with
failure in nearly every case-that is,
they fail to receive 4 prOportionate
number of eggs as when kept in flocks
Of fifty or less.
Very many enthusiasts in fowl
breeding figure that if they are able to
and do actually obtain one hundred
dozen eggs from ten fowls in one year,
one hundred should give them one
thousand dozen in the same period of
time, even if huddled together in one
enclosure, but few of the reasons adj
vanced why this result is not obtained
are herewith given.
All who have kept fowls know full
we'll they are very uncleanly, not only
as to the conditions of their bodies, for,
like swine, they wash themselves in
dirt, but not for the purp ose of cleanli-
ness, but to rid themselves from vermin
or prevent their attack, and it does
seem to me that they never appear so
thoroughly happy as when wallowing
in dry earth or ashes. They are by
nature clean, but by domestication
quite the reverse, and unless sufficient
range be allowed them you should not
expect them to be clean unless you
clean their haunts frequently and
thoroughly.
BY far too many people somehow
seem to get the idea in their heads that
all fowls desire and need to make them
profitable is to give them sufficient
healthy food, whereas pure air and a
wide range are no less important and
necessary conditions for success in
poultry raising, both for pleasure and
profit.-Farm Life.

Too heavy feeding and want of ex-

y house of medium size with a few
fowls is preferable to large one with

If given a good range, hens will
usually pick up sufficient bone and egg

All things considered, the best egg
producing food that can be supplied to
hens is wheat.
1t is an important item in the man

Among the Chickens.
( Amateur Gardener. |

lAlIldttuT UdIucucIJ
Fowls two or three years old, and
not clos ely related, are best for
breeders.
Let the chickens have the kitchen
refuse, but not after it has become sour
and disgusting.
1t is where fowls receive the least
care that complaints of their unprotita-
bleness are loudest.
In poultry keeping theory is good,
provided it gives the practical results
which are sought.
Sick fowls may have medicine adj
ministered in the drinking water, when
they refuse to eat.
Somebody has said that women sue
coed in the poultry business because
they are mindful of small things, and not
so careless as the men.
A lean, raw-boned fowl, whether as
an individual or breed, is an abom
nation. Put him into a pot-pie, and
raise something more comely.
Give the fowls special attention,
good feed and dry quarters, during the
moulting period, SO as to get them into
laying order as early as possible.
1t is regularity in detail that counts,
every time. Feed regularly, water
regularly, clean up regularly, and the
old hen will do her part regularly.
Eggs furnish valuable food mate
rial, as they are palatable, supply all
the elements of nutrition, are easily
digested, and can be cooked in a thou
sand appetizing ways.
Nothing is better for winter use in
the hen house than road dust. 1t is a
good absorbent under the roosts, and
especially valuable in the large boxes
where the fowls Wallow," to clear
themselves of insect pests.

ties, impart beautiful gloss to the
plumage of exhibition poultry.
Hens should never be fed so we'll
that when they are given good range
they will not forage a portion Of the
time.
There is no excuse for keeping poor
fowls when a good flock can be secured
at small outlay.
Open shed is one Of the best things
to have in run it should, however,
have warm aspect.
When fattening, corn meal with
ground buckwheat, mixed up with
skim milk, makes good ration.
The people that purchase fowls in
market rely largely upon appearances,
and few like dark skinned.
There is no question but that in
many cases duck raising could be ma de
very profitable if we'll managed.
While it is not necessary to keep
chickens fat while growing, it is very
important to keep them thrifty.
Fifty mature fowls in one flock is
enough, and it will pay better in pro-
portion than larger number.
Have a system in feeding; give an
allowance of varied food, all that they
will eat up clean and yet want just =
little more.
In nearly all cases it will pay to keep
the poultry manure in place to itself
and apply by itself in order to get the
full benefit.
The poultry man must supply as
closely as possible, what the customer
demands, even if it is more attractive
than good.
Nothing tends to better results in
poultry keeping than the choice of
breeding stock for the production of
a thrifty and healthy progeny.
| One of the things to do when con-
tagious disease makes its appearance
among the poultry is to thoroughly dis
snfect the premises.
Don't market dirty eggs. 1t takes
but little to wash those that have be-
come soiled, and when clean they
look so much better and will sell so
much more readily.
Well-bred stock pays as we'll with
poultry as with anything else. This
is especially true if you are raising
5roilers.
| Poultry can readily be converted
into cash whether living or dead, and
they may be kept eit..er for market
themselves or for the eggs they will
lay.
Haven't any good place to put that
! feather-eating hen? Why, yes; put
her in the dinner pot, and do not delay
till she has taught others the hateful
habit.
Poultry utilize the waste from the
table, destroy insects, and in many
ways act the part Of scavengers, with
benefit to themselves but do not COM
pei them to get living in this way or
starve. Let them have plenty ofgood
clean food, in addition.
In cooking potatoes for the hens,
do not use the water in which they were
boiled to scald the bran. Turn it off
and use clear water if anything more
is needed than is developed by MASKING
the potatoes. Potato water is not
wholesome or clearly, and may even
be poisonous.

A farmer may be too anxious to
make money. For instance, he may
plant too much cotton or tobacco,
buying fertilizers freely at heavy cost,
yet selling these products at a price
below cost, and having to buy pro-
visions. Whereas farmer that pro-
duces his own supplies at home will in
the end save more money, and his
land will not be SO impoverished. The
love of money works evil in many
ways. The farmers that tarry at home
in every sense, and are not too eager
for traffic, are the most successful. But
as they come into contact with manu-
facturers, traders and spectators they,
not being familiar with their arts OF
traffic, become the sufferers. Lion s

White Indian Games.

The GOLD LEAF takes pleasure in
printing above an Illustration showing
trio of these new and wonderful
fowls. These birds were imported
direct from England, by Mr.. P. A.
Webster, Of Gazenovia, n. Y, who is
the originator's sole agent for the
United States, and none were ever
sent to America except the ones sent
to him. In addition to the stock
already on hand Mr.. Webster has a
coop of II fowls of this variety on the
ocean bound for his yards as we write.
These chickens differ much from the
home bred stock which is being adver-
tised in this country and should not be
COMPOUNDED with them by fanciers and
others. In a circular before us Mr..
Webster says:
The White Indian Game is the best
ail-purpOse fowl in existence. The most
wonderful layers, equalng-if not sur
passing-the LeghOrns. As table fowls
they are fully up to Cornish Indian
Games. The only fowls of this variety

ing is handsomer than flock of these
fowls, and none are more profitable,
whether You raise them for broilers, for
the table, or egg producers. This variety
has all of these qualities. Legs and skin

and for size are fully up to the colored
variety of Indian Games. I anticipate
the greatest boom ever known for these
fowls.
