Vaidosta, Ca, Oct. 2O.-The political sit
uation in this county is quiet now, though
the Democrats expect to make hot CAM
paign to get out a large vote in Novem-
Der.
1t Is understood that Chairman Belcher,
the colored Republican leader, is working
hard from the Brunswick end to get QUO
a fun colored vote for Col. Wilkinson This
district is being flooded with letters from
him and this fact viii probably operate to
make the Democrats more Jealous. II APP
pears now that the Republicans have given
up the idea of continuing an active cam
paign. Coz. Wilkinson is busy at work on
his road in Florida, and has not been ae

Small Capital for Poultry.

It Is an advantage with poultry keep
ing that the beginner can make his
capital; that is, he can grow his capl-
tai If he will be patient, says Cole
mans Rural World. What is meant
is that if one commences with fifty hens
he need not be compelled to buy more
stock Immediately, as he can prepare
one year for the next. He may have
200 hens the second year, and have all
accommodations complete. The third
year he may have flock of 500, and
then increase every year, so that In
five years his farm may contain 1000
hens. 1t will extend the period over
five years, hence as the beginning is
with few, the capital will be small,
and. as he adds to the number of his
hens. he at the same time enlarges his
capital. Now, that is a point in favor
Of the poultry business-this gradual
enlargement of the capital which makes
1t so attractive to many, and which also
makes the business possible to those
who cannot derive as large profit in
proportion to capital invested in any
other pursuit. But the great difficulty
is the fact that nearly all who turn
their attention to poultry are unwilling
to wait five years. They are not in
clined to build up business, but en-
deavor to get into it the first year, with
a proof from limited capital and no ex-
perience, the result being that the list
of failures is long one. The one who
begins with few and increases his
flock gains experience as he travels
along the road of progress, and, while
increasing his capital through the nat
ural increase of his flocks, is adding
to his experience and becoming more
capable of accomplishing the objects
sought. The capacity of the plant is
made the greater by the production of
the hocks, the eggs and poultry sold
being the sources of income. 1t may
be hardship to support family while
getting we'll into the business, but the
sacrifices made will be we'll repaid
later. While building up a business,
the selection of good layers from pure
breeds and the escaping of disease will
also assist in insuring success.

imply any senility or decay, who be-
comes fidgety, unfit for business, de-
pressed, and melancholic even to the
verge Of insanity? We know him to
have been a Woodworking man OF
business, always perhaps little nerv-
GUS and very probably an Indifferent
sleeper. He is more tired when he
ought to get up than when he went to
bed; he rises at the last moment, and,
boiling a mouthful Of breakfast, rushes
off to catch the train or trolley, wor-
ried and anxious lest he be late at his
Office. At lunchtime, particularly if
he is busy, he takes, not meal, but a
biscuit, a sandwich, eaten perhaps
standing, and often bolted in such a
manner that the grim flend indigestion
instantly claims him as his own, more
particularly if he INDUCES in frequent
"nips." Very often his reason is that
If he makes a heavy meal he renders
himself unfit for the duties of the after
noon. But there is moderation in all
things-a quiet, simple lunch taken
quietly and sitting down should be in
dulged in. In the evening he eats his
dinner, very often heavy meal, and
perhaps not before half-past seven or
eight O'Clock. Now, granting that this
meal is amply sufficient. such man
lives virtually on one meal day. Re
suit, in time a breakdown. A holiday
sets him up again for time, but, if
he persists in this evil course, only to
break down again. We cannot too

ton to this all-important question Of

rhe nutter Conflict Abroad.

The American butter-makers have a
hard fight before them in their at
tempts to capture the butter market.
In this connection the Dairy World of
London says: THE high hopes OF
American producers do not appear to
be approaching speedy realization so
far as the trade in butter with this
country is concerned, for if we take
the season represented by the first two
months of the year and compare 1t
with the preceding season, we find
that the receipts from the United
States have fallen from 46,S73 cwt. to
$40 cwt. The imports from Denmark,
Sweden and New Zealand have, on the
other hand, materially increased. An
other factor which is calculated to tell
against the American product is the
increase in the supply of butter from
Ireland, and with this increase a de-
cided improvement in the quality and
uniformity of the article, resulting
from a careful study of the require
ments of the English market. 1t can
not be said that American makers
have altogether chit. on" the taste OF

for a less highly favored article being

by business men with the same pru-

the municipality to administer the
city's finances in an economical way,
to improve the public health in it's
physical and moral basis, and to give
brightness and the possibility of hap
piness to civil life. Its success in all
these has been so marked as to com
mand the admiration of the civilized
world and to gain for itelf the appella-
tion Of the best governed city on the

Prof. Henry, in his new book on Feed
and Feeding" has this to say about
the Robertson combination silage:
Robertson, of the Dominion station,
Ottawa, in the effort to secure silage
containing the nutrients Of balanced
ration, concluded that the following
mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten
tons of green fodder corn, three tons
of English horse beans, and one and
one-half tons of sunfower heads. To
secure the proper proportion OF these
crops under Canadian conditions, for
each acre of corn there should be
planted half an acre of horse beans
and one-fourth of an acre of sunfow-
ers. This mixture was found satisfac-
tory in feeding trials with dairy COWS
and fattening steers. Since the horse
bean does not thrive in the United
States, except possibly in the extreme
north, some other plant must be sub
stituted in mixtures Of this character.
Mr.. G. F. Weston, superintendent OF
the Biltmore estate, North Carolina,
reports to the writer that he has found
that one load Of cow pea vines mixed
with two loads of green corn forage
produces an excellent silage for dairy
cows"

German Method OF Preserving Eggs.
A series of interesting experiments
in the preservation Of eggs, carried on
last year in Germany, has just been
published in an official consular report.
After eight months Of preservation,
400 eggs, divided into twenty different
parcels for that many methods Of ex-
pertinent, were examined, with heter-
ogenous results. Upon opening for
use, the eggs presented the following
results, according to the parcels origin
ally numbered: l., Eggs put up for
preservation in salt water were all
bad, not rotten, but uneatable, the salt
having penetrated into the eggs. 2.
Wrapped in paper, so per cent bad. 8.
Preserved in a solution Of salicylic
acid and glycerine, 80 per cent bad.
4. Rubbed with salt, 70 per cent bad.
5. Preserved in bran, 10 per cent bad.
6. Provided with covering Of paraf-
fin, 10 per cent bad. 7. Vanished
with solution of glycerine and salicy-
lie acid, 70 per cent bad. 8. Put In
boiling water for twelve to fifteen sec
onds, 80 per cent bad, 9. Treated
with solution of alum, 80 per cent
bad. 10. Put in solution of salicylic
acid, 30 per cent bad. IL. Vanished
with water glass, 40 per cent bad. IL.
Vanished with collodion, 40 per cent
bad. 10. Covered with lac (probably
shellac varnish), 40 per cent bad. IA.
Vanished with sward, 20 per cent bad.
Is. Preserved in wood ashes, 20 per
cent bad. 16. Treated with boric acid
and water glass, 20 per cent bad. IL.
Treated with manganate Of potash, 70
per cent bad. IS. Vanished with
vaseline, all good. 10. Preserved in
lime water, all good. 20. Preserved
in a solution of water glass, all good.
The last three methods are conse-
quently to be considered the best ones,
and especially the preservation in the
solution Of water glass; as vanishing
the eggs with vaseline takes too much
time, and the treatment with lime
water sometimes communicates to the
eggs a disagreeable odor and taste.
There is one drawback with eggs pre-
served in solution of water glass
the shell easily bursts when placed in
boiling water. 1t is said this may be
avoided by cautiously piercing the
shell with strong needle.

In the course OF an address on this
subject, Hon. J. M Bell, president OF
the Illinois Sheep Breeaers' associa-
ton, said:
Fifty-five years ago we had the poor
est sheep you ever saw. They would
not be called sheep now. After wniie
we realized we had to have better sheep
or quit the business. When we had to
fence the sheep we got better sheep.
AS time went along the business didn't
pay as well as we wanted 1t to, and we
had to have heavier fieeces, and they
grew heavier and heavier, and then
came this depression, and mutton was
in demand, and the sheep We used to
have were not quite the thing we
thought. Then we had to have larger
sheep. We put on the mutton attach
ment, and l found when l made inves-
LEGATIONS for the agricultural depart
ment that the men in 1889 who had
mutton in their flocks were pretty well
satisfied, and the men who didn't have
mutton in their fiocks didn't know
what they were going to do.
In Illinois our situation is particu-
larly happy and particularly sorry. we
have the best land on earth. We can
raise more corn than anybody. We can
raise as much clover hay as anybody.
We can have the best blue grass pas
lures of anybody, and just as much OF
them; and as you have heard of the
excellence of blue grass pasture for
cattle 80 1t is for sheep. But we are
drifting in the right direction. We
kept sheep long time ago and thought
we never would raise mutton in this
country. 1t is raised everywhere now
in the United States. There isn't a
district out west where mutton is not
included in their flocks. We can beat
the world if we try, and 1t isn't very
hard for Illinois people to try.
We are today surrounded by corn
| fields. In my own county we have
corn to burn. 1t is cheaper in Macon
county than anywhere else. Why?
Simply because there is no corn FED
there. Why is Nebraska SO successful
and prosperous? Why are they getting
4Oc bushel for their corn fed to sheep!
They are raising the corn and feeding
it to the sheep right on their farms
and paying off their mortgages. why
should we not do the same way? This
thing will have to be done, and in
sist upon it we shall breed our own
sheep. 1t will pay us better to feed
our corn and our oats and our hay 10
we'll bred sheep than to range sheep:
There are thousands of acres OF land
in this country that ought never to be
plowed another time. They should be
put into pasture. These lands must be
kept up. These poor farms must be
recuperated, and nothing can do 1t so
thoroughly and quickly as sheep. be-
lieve the time is coming, has come,
when we will have to improve our
lands or abandon them, as they have IN
the older states. have great hope IN
the young men Of our state. They VIII
"catch on to the best methods Of rails
ing sheep, adopt all the system there Is
in commercial sheep raising, study the
adaptation of breeds to the purposes
they want, and the adaptation of breeds
to soil. If we will adopt commercial
sheep raising in Illinois, with all 1t
means, and breed our own sheep on our
poor lands, our state will be more
prosperous than it has been since the
war, when our lands were newer.
