GOLD BONDS.

A Decision by the Ohio Supreme Cours
That May BE Far-heaching.
The supreme court of Ohio has de-
clared it unlawful for q municipal cor
poration to contract that its debts
shall be paid exclusively in gold. The
case arose over a proposition on the
part of the trustees of the sinking
fund of the city of Cincinnati to re-
fund per cent interest-bearing
debt at 3. Is per cent Capitalists were
ready with the money, but they insist
ed that the new bonds should be made
payable in gold The case had passed
through the court of common pleas,
which ruled that the trustees were en-
powered to issue gold bonds The cir
cult court overruled the court of COM
mon pleas and the supreme court sus-
tanned the circuit court The decree
being issued in vacation time the text
of the decision will not be published
until September It is understood that
the subject has been treated exhaust
lively in view of the great interest talk
en- in the so called silver question. Tho
decision WILL Of course, affect the
policy of the national govern
ment only by inference But it
sets up a principle that applies
with as much force to the transactions
of the national government as to the
Ohio state government If the munich
pality of Cincinnati may not issue gold
bonds it is not clear from what source
the national treasury may get author
ity to issue bonds of that description
If as assumed the Ohio court bases its
decision on the claim in the federal
constitution making gold and silver
the money of the people. any act of
congress authorizing the issue of gold
bonds by the national government
would come under the Ohio ruling.
The principle advanced by the Ohio
court is by no means new In 1896
Daniel Webster declared gold and sill
yer to be the money of the constita-
ton It was not gold or silver. but
gold and silver. 1.-THE constitutional
standard of value" Mr.. Webster said,
sis esta blished and cannot be over
turned To overtnrn it would shake
the whole system" Webster was not
a supreme court, but he often marked
out the lines upon which the supreme
court should act-San Francisco Ex-
aminer.

The great Webster held that the com
gress had no power to demonetize
either gold or silver. It was gross
nsurpation when done and without
warrant of authority. What the COM
gress has power TO do under the con-
stisution is TO coin money and not to
destroy either silver or gold as money.
It has jus. as much right or power to
destroy gold as to DESTROY silver. But
It is without constitutional right TO do
either. The congress has NO legal
power to discriminate against either
metal It has no power to coin gold
or silver, but it must coin gold and sii-
.er-both coins That Is what the
constitution requires and authorizes.

hat is entirely dry. Also that eggs can
be produced at a greater profit on moist
ened food than on dry. 1t was demon
strated, however, that a flock OF fowls
that was allowed exercise gave better
results than one that was wholly Uon-
fined. The two breeds used were Leg
horn and Cochins, and the smaller breed
Oeghorns) produced eggs at less cost
than did the larger breeds, but consider
ing the cost of raising and the ultimate
poultry value of the hens, the profits are
more favorable for the larger hens. The
Leghorns ate about two and one-forth
ounces of food (water free) per day for
each hen and the Cochins three and
one fourth ounces. The cost of the food
for the whole year varied from u &c nts
to 81. O5, and the market value of the
ggs varied from 81 cents TO 1924 or
course, where the hens were confined,
the cost of production would naturally
be more than if they were on range,
and the production of eggs would also
be smaller, but the experiment is val
liable one, however, and adds more light
on feeding poultry.

Filthy Water.

Where the hens are compelled to drink
wherever they can find water they will
sometimes resort tothe liquid that flows
from the manure heap, which causes
disease. Water is just as essential as
food, as the egg is composed almost
wholly of water in comparison with
other substances. The heavily featherad
breeds suffer severely in summer if they
are deprived of fresh water and d lack of
it is often sufficient to prevent them
from laying. Water is cheap and plenti-
full, and trough filed with it should
always be placed where they can have
free access to it.

Bran and Middlings.

One of the best modes of feeding bran
and middlings Tor any ground grain) is to
mix the materials with finely cut grass
or scalded hay. What may be termed
"cow feed' is excellent for hens, pro-
vided the bulky food is cut fine enough
for them. Last winter we saw on a
large dairy farm flock of hens eating
ensilage with avldity. They picked the
pieces fine and enjoyed the change from
dry concentrated food to the succuIent
green material. 1t will cheaper the
cost of keeping poultry if the grains are
fed with bulky food, though it is always
we'll 10 use some wtoe grain mixed with
litter to induce the hens to scratch and
work.

Then comes the howl that there is no
money in chickens; where if they had
started with Only few pure breds and
increased as they gained experience and
read some poultry journals, poultry
books, and studied the Standard they
would have found the profit IN the bust
ness instead of the loss
Knapp Bros, the great White Leghorn
breeders at Fabins, n. Y, tried with
! twenty three hens the first year, and
"k"p ut tab on them" AS q result they
discovered that they had cleared about
ST. 90 head on the twenty-three. The
nextyear they experiments with thirty
five head: did still better. The following
year they kept sixty hens and sold $3.50
worth of eggs and young stock from
them. Their carefully kept account
showed that it cost a little less than $1.OO
a head to keep these fowls. Not count
ing anything for houses or labor it was
an easy matter to figure out the hand
some profit.
The next year they branched out with
$50 hens
From this small beginning the bus
mess of Knapp Bros. has grown to it's
present dimensions. They now sell each
year 81, 900 worth ofthorough-b bred stock
and eggs, and sell to market for table use
between $4,000 and $4,000 worth of
eggs.-Arnold Hagens, in Courier Infor-
ment.

Egg-Eating Hens.

We never know hens to eat eggs unless
eggs were broken in the nest and the
hens learn to eat them. 1t is a vice
which is difficult to cure, as the protec-
tion to the eggs is at the sacrifice of
time and labor or an inconvenience in
some other direction. Our plan is to
use soap box, open at one end, so as to
compel the hen to walk in, and have the
box sufficiently high from the floor to
prevent the hens from eating the eggs
from the ground. That Is the easiest,
best and most feasible method known.

Rive as Green Food.

Rye when very young is full of water
and also laxative. Il is sown in the fall
for late green food and it is expected to
give early green food after the winter is
over. Our experience with it is that it
makes the hens poor and thin, due to its
cathartic effects, and it is not as valuable
for hens as may be supposed. We advise
sowing the crimson clover instead, If it
will thrive in the north, but if not The
rye may be used, provided the hens are
allowed on it only for short time dur
ing each day or rather, what is better
about three tim week.

The Young Turkeys.

This is the best time Of the year to
get growth on young turkeys. Instead
of feeding grain let them seek their
food, allowing them at night mess of
cut bone and meat, which will be Of as
slstance In promoting growth. Do not
try to fatten young turkeys as yet. Get
the frame and the fat can be added
later in the season. Rapid growth
should be secured before the weather
becomes cold.

Do Not Attempt too Much.

Concentrating the capital to small
area and doing business in manner so
as to secure more than in possible is a
source of failure to some. What we
mean is that those who build large
poultry houses do so upon an estimate
that the houses must accommodate q
certain number of fowls under all Cir
cumstances. 1t is seldom that we find
too much house for the fowls, but it is
a very common occurrence to find too
many hens in house. Some poultry
men who pay largely for their expert
ence in the end seem to labor under the
supposition that in order to secure the
greatest number of eggs they must keep
more hens than they have room for.
The fact is that in many cases one half
the mum Der of hens on the space would
produce more eggs and at much less
expense.
TINS mistake is not confined to the
inexperienced only, for the tendency Is
to keep full house OIL fowls even by
those who should know better. Recently
a poult ryman presented plan OF a
poul try house and yards which COM
bined many excellent advantages, the
house being divided into apartments,
each department being 12x16 feet. He
inquired how many fowls we considered
the proper mum Der for each apartment.
We informed him that we believed the
best results would be obtained by allow
ing plenty of room, and that twenty
fowls would not be too many. He
promptly replied that he based his esti-
mate on forty or fifty fowls and could
not possibly reduce the number, as his
capital was limited and he must have
the number of fowls for which he had
estimated.
Filling a poultry house with hens,
and crowding them together, will not
conduce to egg production. 1t is not
the one with the largest focks who
derives the best results, but the one who
manages properly. Food may be given
beautifully and literally but it will not
make the hens lay if the otLer condi-
tions are not observed. 1t requires more
capital to provide plenty of room for a
flock but the capital will be better in
vested than if buildings are used in
which the hens are too numerous and
in which they do not thrive.-Mrror
and Farmer.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-08-28

should be built. The main principles
about this are, to have the house dry,
no draft passing through it, tight at the
north side to keep out the cold storms
in winter times, and a good ventilation
to keep it cool in summer and to have a
proper amount of fresh air passing
through it at all times. The east and
south sides can be left open, but the
roof should stay some feet over to keep
rain from blowing into the house,
Dampness and draught are fatal to
chickens and cause roup. The house
should be cleaned at least once week
and plenty of lime and coal oil be used;
also have your nests movable and fill
them with fresh straw or sawdust every
month.
Feed your young chickens with oat-
meal for the first two weeks, after that
age give them cracked corn and wheat,
also have good supply of fine oyster
shell or limestone grit before them at all
times and mix twice week some bone
meal into the feed.
Give your laying hens shorts and bran
in the morning, which you mix with
water to a stiff mash. Some animal
meal (Bowkers' animal meal can be
bought of e. w. Amsden, Ormond,
Fla. added to it will improve your hens
in laying, also be first class feed for
little chicks if used. after direction.
Evenings, feed wheat and corn. Glover
is excellent for chickens, so are cabbage,
turnips and other vegetables.
The Plymouth Rock is an excellent
fowl for laying and market, and the
Brown Leghorn and Black Mlnorca
are good layers. The best fowl for the
farmer is without any doubt the Indian
Game. They are not Pit Games and
don't fight as some people think. The
Indian Games are today in the greatest
demand, and their sales are every year
on the increase, not only in this country,
but the world over.
Now, if you are going to start into the
chicken business it will pay you to start
with the best if you only have three or
four birds. Then increase your stock as
you gain experience. Too many people
start into the chicken business, especi-
ally to make fortune from it right
away; they put in 100 or 200 head of
birds; all goes we'll for while, the n
roup and lice take their turn and carry
off two-thirds or more of their fowls
