The cost Of an egg In the Eastern
States Is estimated at one cent. but this
depends on the prices Of grain. II
meat, milk, cut bone, chopped clover
and cooked potatoes are given, the cost
will be less; not because the meat can
be purchased at less than the grain. but
because the feeding of variety and a
balanced ration VIII induce the hens to
lay more eggs. The greater the num-
Der Of eggs laid the lower the cost pro-
protionately. and 1t is possible to pro
duce eggs at a cost of only half cent
each.-P. Ii. Jacobs, In Farm and Fire

The first requisites Of good driver
are cool head, watchful and ready
finger, with a quick understanding of
the needs and requirements OF his
horse, says Our Animal Friends. He
must also be ready to detect any OBJ
ject by the roadside that would be like
" to annoy the horse. and to compre-
bend in a glance the character Of the
road that lies ahead Of him. No quick
tempered, loud-voiced man can expect
to have quiet. obedient horse, and the
undue haste Of the impatient driver to
correct what seems to him mksbehavior
IS one Of time reasons why so many
horses are dangerous to drive. Much
Of the abuse. however, TO which the
horse is subjected arises more from ig-
norance and carelessness than from
wanton cruelty. Few persons give

One of the best methods of incrcas-
Ing the capacity Of fowls for egg pro
ductlon is TO set the eggs of those fowls
which are themselves most prolific of
eggs. IL Is, Of course. assumed that
the hens are mated with full-bred cocks
Of the best reproducing breeds. There
are even In full-bred fowls some indi-
vidual peculiarities which count for
much, and one Of these Is the propen-
sity to give the largest part of bodily
energy and feed to egg production.
The hens that are best for this purpose
are always lively, and have particular
~ bright red combs. When they stop
laying they are not mopish and do not
fatten, but continue lively and soon be
gin laying again. A flock Of fowls
bred from such hens. and thus contin-
ued for three or four & nerations, would
produce q breed whose chief distinction
would not. be form or color. but the
ability TO produce the greatest number
of eggs in a season.

Gadsden, November 7.-(SpeciaD-A large crowd greeted the three candidates of the Seventh congressional district today at the court house.
 o. D. Streit, the populist candidate opened with an hours speech, in which he reviewed the history of his party and ex- plained why he did not accept the chai- lenge for joint discussion. His speech contained the usual populist charges, in- cluding the ''voting of dead niggers."
 Though not entering the discussion. F. H. Lathrop followed with fifteen minutes talk. claiming that he was the logical gold bug candidate.
 John L. Burnett then followed with an hours speech, outlining his position on every public issue and showing that he stood squarely on the Chicago platform. He read letters from himself and his com- mittee, challenging both of his opponents to a joint discussion on several different occasions. He charged his opponents with fearing to stand before the people in a joint discussion and charged them with bushwhacking and distributing circulars containing false charges MT. Burnett is a heavyweight in a debate, but many of his strong points were illustrated with Imaginable and good-natured stories. g
 Streit and Lathrep have been running pretty much together, but. Colonel Burnett read a number of quiet letters sent out and signed by Streit to individual republicans seeking their support and claiming that the republican candidate could not be elected He showed that the methods of his opponents were the ones that were re- sponsible for the present crisis in North Carolina. t. as
 Mir. Streit then replied in a half hour speech and MT. Burnett closed the discus sion with fifteen-minufe reply. in which he covered the whole ground.

WINCONSIN

Milwaukee, November 1.-The work of the state campaign was finished tonight Not in decade has there been such a lack of interest manifested in political contest as in this one At republican headquarters tonight, Chairman Treat estimates that the republican ticket will win by 4O000 plurality, in addition to electing at least eight out of the ten congressman and a large majority of the legislature. The democrats are not giving out any definite figures but claim that when the votes are counted their state ticket will be shown to have come out victorious They concede, however, that the republicans will control the next legislature and elect a majority of the congressman All their ammuni- tion has been expended in fighting for the election of their state ticket.

election by from 1900 to 2,50O majority. Lathrop and Streit will run close, though conservative estimates give Lathrop as much as 500 over Stret. Burnett will carry every county, except possibly St. Clair. One-third of the beats in Marshall county have been denied democratic managers, but with Lathrop in the race 1t is believed Burnett will carry that county. Burnett spoke tonight to large mass meeting at the Dwight cotton mills and an enthusiastic Burnett rally is on in Gadsden with 1,20O people present.
 Selma, November 7.-(Special)- cam paign in the Fourth congressional district of Alabama closed today in this city with a big speaking, in which Senator Morgan made a rousing speech, listened to by a vast audience. He was frequently inter- rupted by applause from his hearers.
 From the reports received here 1t seems probable that Robbins, the democratic nominee, will win in this (the Fourth) dis- trict by majority which is placed from 100 to 300. He will be given about 5000 majority over Aldrich, his republican op- ponent in Dallas. The democrats in Dallas will do their full duty and the estimate of 5000 is not ovredrawn. Put Robbins ma- jority at 2.000 in the Fourth district. He will certainly get more than this
 Hayneville. November 7-(Special) )-The congressional campaign ended tonight with several meetings held by the republicans. also by the democrats during the day The republicans held the fort alone in several beats, but owing to the demoralization among them they are not hopeful.
 Circulars have been scattered over the county, but Colonel Brewer being n Lowndes county man, has broken the ranks of the republicans. John w. Jones and others did their best and in some places had good crowds. but in the end the Brewer faction came out OF top. Smith, the republican nominee, never came here once. It looks tonight that Brewer will receive about 5000 majority. The republicans claim the county by about 1000
