TO SHIPPERS OF LIVE POULTRY.
Some Pertinent Suggestions of Interest to
Farmers and Poultry FnncIers

some Pertinent Suggestions of Interest to
Farmers and Poultry FnncIers
Com mission merchants would like to
call attention of shippers to o few
points. Shippers should see that the
coops are in go d condition before using
SO that they are not liable to come
apart while in transit. The ccops
should also be high enough to allow
whatever kind of poultry is shioued
room enough to stand up. Low coops
should not be used, it not alone being
cruel, but great deal OF poultry is
lost every year by suffocation
Coops should not be overcrowded. In
shipping hens and ROSTERS they should
be kept separate. Nothing depreci ates
es to have number CT old cocks among
them. Shippers often wonder why they
don't get the highest market price for
their stock. In most cases this is the
reason; good stock always commands a
quick sale at best prices.
Poultry should be shipped by express,
80 as to arrive on the market from
Tuesday to Friday. Receipts generally
4increase towards the end of the week,
and there is enough carried over stock
on hand Saturday to supply the demand
Merchants, rather than carry stock
over Sunday, would sell at sacrifice
as the stock, when in coops, loses con
siderable in weight by shrinkagc, and
does not appear fresh and bright. Be
sides Monday is usually q poor day tc
sell poultry.

COUNT THEM, SPEAKER CRISP.


The Washington Post Qnd }. in a
double loaded editorial yesterday morn
ing, propounded this question:
Speaker Crisp, why did you not
count them?"
BY them" the Post mad reference to
the seventy memb ers of the House who
were present at the Wednesday session
but declined to vote. The question was
of great Importance, being the one
pending from Saturday upon the dis
posal of the motion TO vacate The war
rant OF arrest adopted on March 90. The
lat who voted were Democrats, the 20
others. which roll call disclosed as
being present and failed 10 vote, were
Republicans. 1t was the plan of fill
clustering which the minority party
adopts when they see that the required
quorum OF the Democrats is not present,
and which plan has been successfully
carried on; when an opportunity has
been presented
The entire Democratic pross Of the
country is about ready to say to Speaker
Crisp why don't you count them?"
Since the article appeared in the Post
the House has been subjected to an
other days proceedings of similar
nature to hose on Wednesday. Yester-
day resolution was formulated by the
committee on rules which has for it's
object the imposition of fine of $40 for
each monb Der who fails TO vote when his
name is called. 1t is the scheme sug-
ing adopted by the Republicans, and
the working of which will be awaited
with interest.
True, blow at his salary touches a
Congressman in q tender spot, but will
it always work? What will such men
as Tom Reed care FOR the cutting of of
few dollars of his psy il he can only
maintain his point? Will there not,
TOO, be large following. which he can
get around him, to defy this regulation
The principal is bad and we have no
hesisancy in saying that we do not like
II, nor is III measure which will re-
five universal commendation we
oonbr very much if it will prove efec--
tive; ami il not, what then? Tho
party is Is badly of as before.
Consistency is virtue and Mr.. Crisp
is to be respected for his consideration
OF this quality. His action in the Fifty
first Congress in trying 10 defeat the
seemingly tyranical movement of
Speaker Reed in counting "a quorum
might be brought up against him. but
does the country or the party gain by
further continuance of the present a.
titude?
Counting quorum has oeen declared
by the highest court as constitu tional,
and why dilly daily along in the way
the fifty third Congress has been doing
when in a few moments time the
wheels of business can be set in N otion
and each and every member be held re-
sponsible for his action.
1t is the best plan to prevent fill
clustering which can be adopted, and we
say away with consistency in this in
stance and count quorum.

FEEDING BIG Hoos.
Some Valuable Statistics Furnished by
Prof Henry.

some valuable Statistics Furnished by
Prof Henry.
Results show that for pig weighing
100 pounds about one and a half OF
grain is required for the mere main
tenance of the animal body, writes
Prof Henry. II, therefore, we bring
to our 1OO-pound pig each day one and
half pounds of the grain mixture
above mentioned, the animal merely
holds It's own weight and makes no
progress, 80 that at the close of the day
our pound and half of feed has dis
appeared, our pig is one day older, but
no heavier In weight, and we have
nothing to show for the food supplied.
The amount of meal required to thus
support the body functions without
permitting the animal to gain in weight
has been designated 1.-THE food Of main
tenance" or "the food Of support"
If now we increase the amount Of
food from pound and half day,
the food Of maintenance, to four and a
half day, about all our pig will eat,
he will thrive nicely and make gain
OF about one pound day therefrom.
Thus II appears that the three extra
pounds of food which we have given
this pig above the food Of support gives
us pound of increase. We may desig-
nate this portion of the ration as "the
food of increase" When our pig is re-
ceiving four and half pounds of feed
per day and is gaining in weight at
the rate Of one pound per day one-third
Of what is supplied constitutes the
food Of maintenance and two-thirds
the food of increase.
When our 1OO-pound pig has increased
in weight to 200 pounds-the food Of
support must also be increased, though
not quite doubled, judging from our in
vestigations. 1t is somewhat less than
three pounds. When our pig has
reached the weight of 500 pounds the
food of support appeared to be about
five pounds, or one pound of food for
each hundred weight of animal carcass.
The decrease in the amount of the food
OF support seems gradual, starting at a
pound and half per hundred with a
10O-pound pig, and gradually diminishes
until reaching a pound per hundred
with hogs weighing 500 pounds. But
the five pounds of meal required to
support the hog weighing 500 pounds is
half pound more than that which the
same hog required when weighing 100
for both maintenance and increase.
To our 50O-pound hog we must first
of all supply about five pounds of meal
to support the animal carcass and to
this must add something like three
pounds additional in order to secure
one pound of increase. That is, with
our 5OO-pound hog it takes something
like eight pounds of meal to give a re-
turn of one pound of gain in weight
while four and half pounds of the
same were sufficient with the same ami
NAL when it was 3OO-pound pig.
Evidently from this study there is a
limit to the weight to which hogs can
be prohtably fed, even if they can still
make additional gain.

learned something about drainage
last year which has been of great serv-
Ice to me this spring, and may be to
others who have similar problem to
solve. The drainage of springy land is
often very difficult The bitches put
through the wet place are found to
drain only imperfectly the surrounding
soil. l have seen water stand on the
surface OF the ground with tile buried
three feet below--all clear and free and
In good working order. The reason is
the water is forced out Of the ground
by an upward pressure, and comes
through little seams and veins distrib-
uted through the soil, many Of them
near the tile perhaps; yet the water will
come nearly or quite to the surface be-
fore 1t works It's way to the tile. The
condition producing this state OF affairs
is illustrated In the cut A shows up
per stratum of wet soil, which is often
peaty or mucky; B is a layer Of hardpan
or tough bowlder clay or marty clay; @
shows the gravel water-bearing STRAIT
UNI; D q + are the minute natural
water channels from latter to surface.
The tile Is generally laid directly on
the hardpan, as shown at G.. II condi-
tions are favorable, this will dry 1t
sometimes, To cut deeper into the
hardpan is useless unless you can go
clear through, and this is often impos-
sible. l have done it, however, with
the very best results Last year 1 took
up tile ditch which had failed to
benefit the ground, and by sinking it a
foot or two deeper struck the loose
gravel, and drew the water out from
under all the surrounding region.
But to 20 clear through the hardpan
Is often too expensive and even impos-
sible. have cured very difficult places
by taking postrhole digger and sink
ing small hole through the hardpan
down to the water-bearing gravel, as
shown below G In the cut The water
will generally rush up and flow off
through the tile. This should be done
at intervals of about a rod. One ditch
