After all medicine failed, she used your

Ex-senator c. j. Faulkner is the lead
ing lawyer for Scott Republican, in the
Senatorial contest between Scott and
McGraw from Pennsylvania. We stick
to Uncle Mark Cherry's idea that IA
lawyer who, in contest in court be-
tween Democrat and Republican for
an office, represents his political oppo-
nent, ''has a mighty poor way of show
ing his politics." 1T is important for the
Democracy of the whole country that
the infamous attempted theft of the
Senatorship in West Virginia by the
Republican Federal office-holders should
be thwarted Senator Faulkner, in re-
turn for past party support, ought not
to take a fee to help Republicans keep
what they have stolen.

Odd Flower Beds.


A a general rule flowers look better
when grown without trying for odd
effects, but there are few designs
that always attract attention. One of
these is a Gypsy camp fire. Three
poles are set up in the shape Of a tri
pod and to these is hung an old iron
pot of any kind. The pot is filled with
soil, and in it is planted candytuft,
sweet alyssum or any other free
blooming white flower. Under and
around the pot is planted scarlet geran-
iums. When the flowers begin to
bloom the flowers of the geraniums
represent the fire under the pot and the
white flowers growing from the soil in
the pot represent the foam of the boil
ing dinner supposed to be in the pot.
\ floral tent is easily made by plant
ing pole in the ground ana digging
circle eight OF ten feet in diameter
around it, and planting in this any
kind of Towering vines which are run
on strings to the top of the pole.
A very cool and pleasant summer
house may be built by putting up a
rough frame and roofing it and then
covering the sides with vines Of all
bers, cypress, gourds and other climb
ing plants may be planted in variety,
and the growth of these will be an in
teresting study while enjoying their
shade.
a floral basket is made by sticking
green willow tWigs in the soil in the
spring, setting them in the shape of d
basket and weaving them together to
represent the woven work Of 4 basket.
Two long tWigs are twisted together as
the handle, and when finished the bas-
ket is filled with soil, and in it varie-
ty of free blooming flowers are plant
ed. The willow tWigS will grow and
must be kept trimmed during the sea-
son, while the flowers, when they come
into bloom, will look very much as if
some one had been gathering a bOu-
Quet and had set it down and left it.
This is one of the incest effects imag-

Hardy Fowls.

Every farmer wants hardy fowls in
his flock, but hardness alone is not
sufficient and a little hardness must
sometimes be sacrificed to other quail
ties that are more profitable. The hard
lest fowl we have is the mOngrel, so
far as mere ability to keep life in him
self goes. To resist the attacks of YER
min and to endure hard conditions the
mongrel can't be improved on. The
trouble with him is that he is not good
for anything else. 1t is hardly worth
while for either fowl or man to live
unless the living is to some purpose.
TO keep. poultry, proftably, therefore,
the farmer doesn't want mOngrel
fowls, but should be content with a lit
tie hardness, making up by better care
for the lack of it, and keeping instead
of scrubs, we'll bred fowls with ability
to make eggs and meat that bring
price. The dairyman knows that he
can have a cow that will go through
the winter on little else than what she
can pick up around a straw stack and
with no better protection than is at
fOrded by a wire fence, or he can have
a cow that needs care, protection shell
ter and good feeding. He knows, too,
that the one kind of COW will lose him
money, little as it costs to keep her,
while the other kind will make some
for him, and if he is wise he chooses
the latter kind, content to accept her
and her greater proftableness, bur
dened with the responsibility of
giving her better care and at
tention and feeding her literally.
The case is the same with the
poultry farmer, who can have
mongrels wholly unproductive, but
capable Of standing almost anything.
or he can have profitable fowls that
are not so able to resist hunger eX-
posture and vermin. If he is wise he
will choose the latter kind. Hardness
is a good thing, and the poultry grow
Ell should get just as much as he can
consistently with the other qualities
for which poultry is kept. He should
endeavOr to maintain hardness, and to
this end should avoid inbreeding and
all Ouher errors of management calcu-
lated to undermine it; but he should
have good, we'll bred fowls and
should never make the hardness of
the mOngrel an excuse for giving it
yard rOOm.-IOWa Homestead.

The Morning Mash.

A large proportion Of pOultrymen are
favorable to a warm mash for break
fast. This writer doubts the wisdom
of this method of feeding. He does not
believe the warm mash is a necessary
part of the system calculated to pro-
duce winter eggs. We have succeeded
in accomplishing the end without 1t.
And vet we do not wish to be under
stood as cOndemning the mash. Many
excellent breeders make use of it habit
ually, and are convinced that they find
it of advantage. 1t would not be an
exhibition of good sense or good man
ners to speak slightingly of method
which has such endorsement. These
people have learned how to feed the
mash without harmful results; but be-
cause they know this it does not follow
that every one can adopt this method
of feeding with safety.
The warm mash has defeated the
aims and blasted the hopes of more
amateur poultry keepers than any
other one thing which has figured III
their operations. 1t is SO generally re-
commended that it is looked upon as
indispensable. Consequently the be-
ginner thinks that the hens must nave
a warm breakfast, no matter what else
is denied them. Bran, ground corn ana
oats stirred up with boiling water IS
the thing upon which he mainly hangs
his hopes. The hens like it, and he goes
on the theory that they should have
plenty of it. And plenty of it they get:
1t is the plentiful manner in which 1t
is served that does the mlschlef.
The hens being filled up with the mix
ture and all the incentive to work re-
moved by reason of their appetites
being satisfied, they retire to the
warmest part of the poultry house and
stand there in idleness during the pal
ance of the day. The mash should DE
fed sparingly. One good hanuIul 10
ten hens>is enough. When this IS DIS
posed of they will still be hungry
enough to go to the scratching pen and
work for the grain which has been
thrown there. Hens which are not
kept hungry enough to drive them TO
