OF course. the house must be kept

the successful poultry breeders.
In conclusion let me add a word of
warning to those who think of rush
ing headlong into the business on a
large scale. Go slow, begin in a small
way and grow as the details are mas
tered. and remember that the largest
and most successful breeders of the
country began in modest way.

A Corn Maker.

Take a light pole any desired length.
q used one y feet long and made marks
three feet eight inches apart. Two per-
sors can carry it easily. To this, at the
distance apart you wish your marks at
tach two and one-half or three feet of
rope. and on the end of the rope about
four feet of well chain. The rope is used
TO make 1t lighter than il would be by
using all chain. There need be no chain
at the large end of the pole.
Your maker is now ready for use. Two
persons take it. one at the large end. and
tie other some distance from the small
end, to even up heft or get advantage
as you may wish.
After the first time across the field the
person that has the end of the marker
without chain carries that end over the
last mark. but does not walk in the
mari. When you get across carry the
marker on the end. change sides. and go

The Dairy Herd.

Speaking of the dairy herd. Mr.. H.

says: Here is the foundation of the
whole dairy business. Success depends
more on the herd than On any other
one point" These are words of wisdom
that every man engaged in the bust
ness of milk making should take to
heart and enter into a solemn compact
with himself not to leave a stone IN
turned until ne becomes a thorough
master of all the skill that can be ac-
quired in determining the absolute
value of each COW in the dairy. Not a
theoretical money value. but an alb
solute dairy value based upon actual
performance.

mistake The labor of finding out how
much YOUR COW eats and how much
milk she gives and how much butter
she makes when gone at Systematically
and intelligently is the work of but a
few minutes each day. with no more
skill required than to read the pounds

figures. The work need not be done

A View of the Poultry Interest
From Practice.


W. H. Cambron in Louisville Home
and Farm: It is pretty safe 10 say
that two distinct motives actuate all
poultry breeders-motives very diverse
in character, yet mingling and COM
bining more or less in almost every
case.
/ The motive of one extreme is q. disin-
terested love of fine fowls and a salts
faction in breeding them up to the
I highest possible degree of perfection.
That of the other extreme may be sum-
med up in but few words-the revenue
derived as computed in dollars and
cents.
The writer of this article. though a
lover of thoroughbreds. will address
himself to those of the latter class.
feeling confident that in this advanced
age of Improvement everyone will. in
order to secure the best results and
largest profits, tolerate only the pure
bred fowls.
There are many standard breeds. all
of acknowledged merit, and each VIII
find supporters among those who en-
gage in this profitable pastime.
Therefore let everyone he his own
judge and select that breed which he
fancies most.
The labor which the hen bestows up
on them will be one of love. and the
tender care given them will be repaid
with bountiful supply of eggs and
flesh.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said and written concerning the pleas
ure and profit of poultry breeding,
there are still many who insist that
poultry does not nay its way.
Show these unbelievers the carefully
kept accounts of successful breeders.
and they at once say. Oh. yes. those
people who spend all their time with
the hens manage to make the business
pay. but we, who have other work to
do, cannot.
Allow me to say that poultry can be
made to pay. In fact. with proper care,
it can be made TO yield a larger profit
in proportion to labor expended and
capital invested than any branch of the
farmers business. 1 say farmers bust
ness because poultry is just as much a
part of his business as the crop of
wheat. fruits. or potatoes which he
yearly markets.
The demand for eggs and poultry is
increasing. and we are
annually importing thousands of dol
lars worth from foreign shores, even in |
the face Of the fact that we are today !
producing ten times more than we did |
twenty years ago.

FIELD OF SPORT.
INTERNATIONAL CHESS.
Burn of the British Team Refuses to
Play in the Match.

London, jan 17.-Amos Burn, the Lv
crpool chess player, who, according to in
formation received at the British Chess
club, has refused to play in the proposed
cable match between Great Britain and
America on February II or Is. has been
very severely criticised in London and
provincial chess circles. Inasmuch rs
Burn has always posed as an amateur il
is all the more incomprehensible why he
would not support the Britishers in Il c
coming match. He played on the see
ond board last year. when he was beaten
by Showalter, and as Blackburn has al
ready promised to play on board No.
against Pillsbury this year, it was con.
sidered that Burn would think it his duty
to recover his lost game against
Showatcr this year.
Anybody versed in matters pertaining
to chess knows what a difference it
makes to a whole team when a stray
player like Burn refuses to play, and it
is therefore generally expected that the
Liverpool man will be morally compelled
to take the place on the team, beaten
partly through the defeat administered
to him last year by Showalter. 1t will
be all the more disastrous to the British
ers, as neither Byrd, Tinsley or Lee sic
strong enough for place on the British
team, and as the team stands now they
have only one player of really frst.class
merit namely, Blackburn. Jacobs. At
kins, Blake and others who will have TO
play are amateurs and rank only secon-
dairy in international fame and it is
therefore believed that the Britishers
will scarcely be able to fight with success
against Pillsbury, Showaiter Barry
Burrill, Hodges, Hymes and the rest Of
the strong American team.
Sir George Ncwness, the president Of
the British Chess club, is said to be very
much interested in the match and tho
getting up of the team, and he will use
all efforts toward securing Burn. Whetb.
er or not he will succeed is the one ones
ton under discussion at the British
Chess club. ''''n

THAT JOHN GRANT BOOM.
General Manager of the Canton Expcdi-
ton Interviewed.

Sherman, Tex, Jan. 19.-(Special)-
Your correspondent called upon Mr.. Cecil
a. Lyon this evening, who was general
manager of the John Grant boom. From
his conduct and general demeanor it
could be readily see that he was Disguised
with the result of the Texas expedition.
Mr.. Lyon. on being asked the result Of
the trip, in hesitating way replied:
"Well, there has been tacit under
standing between the members of the
delegation that there would be no inter
views regarding the trip further than
what has already been seen in the press
of the United States, but | find the pres
sure so great that | have decided to yield
and make known the true status of af-
fairs. The facts are that the delegation
came back delighted with their expert
cnce, having met with an ovation along
the entire route from the date of start
ing to the time of their return to Dallas,
| have never seen movement where it
touched such a responsive chord in the
minds and hearts of the people anywhere;
neither have | seen q delegation treated
with such uniform courtesy as was ours.
Upon our arrival at Cleveland, we
were met by Maj. Mckinley President
Leech of the United Republican clubs
of Ohio and delegation of the Tippe
canoe club, headed by Mr.. Wolcott, pres
conducted to the Hollenden hotel, where
breakfast was served.
From there our delegation was con-
Quoted to the rooms of the Tippecanoe
club, where an informal reception was
rendered us and which was attended by
many of the citizens of Cleveland. The
delegation was then escorted to the pri-
vate offices of Mr. Hanna, who made a
very enthusiastic speech of welcome to
the delegation, in which he took occasion
to congratulate Texas for the splendid
vote cast by Texas in the last election
as compared with former years; and he
also said that so long as he was chairman
of the national republican committee that
Texas republicans would have n friend
in him. This was responded to by Mr..
Lane, who thanked him on behalf of the
delegation for his kindly expressions.
Our delegation was then escorted to
the train, where we embarked for Can
ton. Upon our arrival at Canton the
delegation fell in line and marched to the
residence of President-elect Mckinley,
and after being introduced, Mr.. Kane,
selected as spokesman for the deega-
ton, made speech In which he presented
the desires of the Texas republicans,
which was responded to by Maj. McKin-
ley. After the formalities were over, a
private conference was held with Maj.
Mckinley for about an hour. after which
we returned to our train and embarked
for Texas.
"In conclusion, l desire to say for the
edifcation of the public that | don't know
whether John Grant will get into the
cabinet or not, but up to this time ! have
been claiming that to get office in Texas
it would be necessary to have the en-
dorsement of John Grant, whose address
is Sherman, Tex, and | now know that
was right"

MASON NOMINATED.
Republican Caucus Choice for United
States Senator From Illinois.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. lex Congress
man William f. Mason was nominated
for United States senator at the joint
caucus tonight after one of the most bit
terly fought battles in the history of state
politics. Although he has been canvass
ing the state as senatorial candidate
for two years Mr.. Masons election was
regarded by machine" politicians as an
impossibilty up to within an hours time
of his triumphant nomination, the result
being caused by the sudden withdrawal
from the race of Congressman William
Lorimcr, who has held the almost solid
vote of Chicago and Cook county. The
contest has been so long drawn out that
legislators were in a mood to be STAN
peded at any minute as the hour for the
caucus drew near, and the sudden shift
ing of Cook county forces to Mason car
ricd the other candidates off their feet.
The tide turned to him with rush that
carried everything before it and the NOM
nation met with but feeble show Of
opposition.
William Z. Mason was born July {,
1850, in Franklinville, \. Y. and is the
youngest of a family of FIVE children. In
1856 his parents moved to Iowa, where.
after going through the public schools,
he was graduted at the college at Bur
lington, Iowa He studied law in the
Office of Thomas Withrow, general So
licitor of the Rock Island railroad. He
came with Mr.. Withrow to Chicago as
his clerk.
Mr.. Mason was twice member Of the
Illinois house of representatives. He was
also member of the Fifty-irst congress
and once in the state senate.

president-elect. He said he was here
representing the organization in New
York He said the whole situation in
New York had been gone over and
many names were mentioned in its
course. He was asked as to the place
New York would occupy in the final
makeup of the cabinet. He expressed
his opinion that New York, being a sea-
port, the navy would fall to its lot. He
wished it definitely understood that he
was not speaking definitely, as nothing
had been decided upon. He said, as re-
CARDS Mr.. Platt's position, that Mr.. Plat
was satisfied with his prospects for rep
resenting the Empire state Ill the senate.
He said the names of Benjamin f.
Tracey who was secretary of the navy
during President Harrison's administra-
ton; Hon. j. Sloat Fassett, Ex-Governor
Stewart l.. Woodford, Sylvanus Pine
and many others, together with Gen.
Horace Porter, were mentioned. Elk
Governor Morton, he said, was hardly
considered as cabinet possibility, but
may be representative to London.
