II GOES TO MILWAUKEE.
Next Meeting of the National Repub-
Iican League in August.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19-The next conven-
ton of the republican national league
will be held at Milwaukee August %, 26
and 81. Instead of leaving the selection
to the meeting of the executive COM
mittee a ballot was taken last month by
correspondence and Milwaukee won out
by an overwhelming vote and today the
executive committee formally ratified
the selection. The meeting of the exec
utive committee is held for the purpose
of securing money to carry on the cam
paign this year. Hitherto there has been
no lack of funds or rather very little diff
ficulty in securing all the money needed
and no effort has been made until today
to arrange for the financial end of the
work. Secretary Bowling says that
there is no definite plan before the COM
mittee. The work will be concluded
with a session tonight.

Chances That it May Yet Become q

WASHINGTON, Feb 19.- The house
committee on territories which gave the
Arizona statehood bill a bad setback at
the session last week, today voted to re-
consider the vote of last week.
! 1t had been agreed that it both Mr..
Harris (Rep, Ohio) and BIr. Lever.
(Rep, N. W who were absent from the
previous meeting asked for recon
sideration the reconsideration should be
entered, This leaves the bill in the posi-
ton it was before the vote was taken last
week. The members of the
committee who have been oppos-
ing the reporting of the Arizona
and New Mexico bills, principally on the
ground that the admission of these ter
ritories would increase the free silver
strength in the senate, however, assert
that the action of the committee has no
Significance.
They declare that their. victory is
complete and that the statehood bills are
dead for the present session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 The following
paragraph is printed in the Evening Star.
1t is understood Vice President Stew

silver candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination. 1t Is stated
authoritativeIv that he will. between now
and the time of the meeting of the
Democratic convention, write let
ter in which he will declare
himself to be in favor of the free coinage
of silver This statement is regarded
with great interest in view of the pres
ent activity of the managers of the Nor
rison boom. This boom for Colonel
Morrison is being largely managed by
free silver Democrats. though Colonel
Morrison is avowedly opposed to free
coinage under present conditions.

PORTABLE HOG PENS.
These Who Have Tried Them Pronounce
Them . Great Success.

Those Who Have Tried Them Pronounce
Them . Great Success.
In order to be successful in wintering
swine. both old and young, it becomes
necessary for many hog raisers to give
the question of sleeping quarters more
serious attention. Many lot of nice,
thrifty shoats go into winter quarters
only to come out in the spring having
barely held their own in weight and
growth, and perhaps are somewhat
stunted. Wintering hogs in large
droves and around strawstacks is not
conducive to best results. One great
objection to the practice of many
farmers in allowing large numbers TO
nest together is that they pile up in
cold weather, in which condition they
generate a good deal of moisture.
What farmer but what has seen the
steam rising from a nest of swine?
When they come forth from such a
condition on a cold winter morning
they are very apt to take cold. When
they leave the nest wet and warm and
go out into exactly the other extreme

A correspondent of the Dakota
Farmer asks is there any sure way of
Distinguishing perfectly fresh eggs
from tainted ones, or those that have
been set upon by hens for several days?
Gambling is quite sure method, but if
there is any other 1 would be glad to
know it," The following reply is
given: ITO the experienced eye the
roughish or graduated surface of the
perfectly fresh egg distinguishes it at
once from the more shiny or polished
surface of the one that has been under
the hen day or two. We can pick out
every fresh egg among nestful of
those that have been sat on two days,
even in the dark. The secret is very
simple. Just scratch over the surface
with the finger nail. if it CRATES the egg
is fresh, but if the nail slides smoothly
the egg is old. A little practice makes
this a sure test"

WINTER MATCHING.
EVERYTHING Considered, There Is Not Much
Money in 1t.


EVERYTHING Considered, There Is Not Much
Money in 1t.
Eggs are too valuable in winter to be
used for Matching purposes unless one IL
confident of securing good patches and
of raising the chick, says the Mirror and
Farmer. To use a dozen eggs from
which only six chicks come, and then
lose three of them, means an expendl-
ture of four eggs for one chick, and no
one can afford the cost in that respect!
The heaviest loss of chicks is with hens
not with incubators and brooders-
and this fact should not be overlooked.
1t is admitted that in the spring and
summer when the hen has everything in
her favor she will be more serviceable
when cold winds, ice, snow and rains
prevail, the hen has difficult undertake
ing to care for herself instead of at
tempting to raise a brood, and as rule,
the hens are fortunate if they raise one
half of the chicks Matched.
When a hen becomes broody make her
nest in a warm place, and when she
brings off her brood have place pre-
pared for her, under shelter and where
the sunlight can come. Be careful that
the chicks are not exposed or become
chilled, and aim to raise everyone of
them In that case the chicks will pay
because the expense of the eggs used
will be reduced by reason of the larger
number of chicks marketed.

MARKETING TURKEYS.
Birds Of Medium Size and Weight Are |
the Best Sellers.

Birds of Medium Size and Weight Are
the Best Sellers.
We can offer a pointer on marketing
turkeys that we discovered while buy
ing Christmas turkeys in the city mar
ket, and that is the superiority of
medium-sized turkeys over 20 to "a
Founders. as sellers. People, as q rule.
do not want enough turkey at one time
to lay a banquet spread, and conse-
quently they pick for something small,
or not exceeding medium in size.
The hen turkeys always sell first,
simply because they are more suited in
size to the wants of the ordinary fam
ily Then the smaller gobblers go, and
lastly the pride of the fock-the big
gest tom in the lot-and he usually goes
at a discount of two or three cents a
pound less than the lesser weights.
A turkey that weighs from ten to if
teen pounds dressed is plenty large
enough. The people don't want tur-
key as big as hog, but they do want q
fat turkey.
1t seems to US that there is a good deal
of room for improvement in breeding
turkeys for the market. That bird
shorter in legs and neck, and very full
in the breast, would be more desirable.
One that would be meaty and plump,
and capable of taking on great deal
of fat.
The heavy weight, tall. rawboned
toms that weigh % to 40 pounds may be
suited to a barbecue feast, but they
are not the kind that the man with an
ordinary size market basket looks for
when he goes to the city market.
There would be more demand, and
better sale for turkeys all the year
through, if they were grown more with
a view to compact body, meat and fat,
than for large size and coarse structure
