first ten days. and yet I do not mean
to have this construed literally. have
carried some chicks three weeks on
this diet, and others but five days.
Their general condition and the season
of the year are, Of course, considered.
With the early chicks-those that are
Matched before spring is sufficiently ad-
vanced to bring green food and ami
NAL food from the ground-we gradu-
ally Introduce some form Of meat food
once a day, and also little by little,
introduce the other grains, viz:
Cracked wheat, cracked corn, ETC., af-
ter about ten days. We also give them
once day sifted broken cracker
crumbs slightly moistened with whole
or SKINNED milk, to which we add
small quantity Of chick size grit and
chick size charcoal, increasing both at
the first sign of bowel trouble. We feed
every two hours what they will eat up
quick and clean for the first two or
three weeks, after that we gradually
drop to three times day, but leave

get at it. AS soon as we can we sow
Spanish onions in each yard, fencing
off the ground sown until the blades
are three or four inches high know
of nothing that equals these onion tops

the chicks fly at with more relish.
The Disappearing Horse.-On no less
authority than that Of Col. Albert J.
Pope the statement is made that at no
distant time a cart or carriage drawn
by horses or other animals will be a
curiosity in the cities of the world
and in most of the rural districts as
we'll Col. Pope foreshadows the reign
of electricity as the power for horse
less vehicles, and shows that motor
carriage, while it may cost more than
the ordinary carriage, costs far less for
its care and keeping, can be recharged
with electric power at small expense
on the shortest notice, and will do as
much work as a vehicle drawn by two
or four horses. Col Pope predicts the
speedy supremacy Of the horseless car
riage, and the change will be gladly
welcomed not only by those who ap-
preciate the economy of the new power
but also by all who favor the greater
cleanliness of our streets.-Leslie's
Weekly. Whoever wrote the
above had long look into the future
This generation need not be alarmed
about losing the horse.-Ed. +. r.
Green Cut Bone.-Nothing else is so
valuable as feed for egg production
as green cut bone. Those who feel
discouraged because their hens have
not laid enough eggs, should lose no
time in buying bone cutter The ma
terial is cheap, and now that the bone
cutters have been so much improved
they are easily run and the labor is but
slight. The green bone is very rich
in phosphate of lime. which breeders
appreciate.--Ex.

Argument Of the oleo Men.

The N. Y. Produce Review thus COM
ments on the recent pure food investi-
cations in Chicago:
The testimony of oleomargarine
dealer Broadwell before the senate
rial pure food committee, as reported
In another column, Is amusing to say
the least. So far the evidence brought
out by the investigation shows con-
clusively that the oleomargarine laws
are being wilfully and continuously
violated in Illinois, and the efforts Of
the law breakers to explain the facts
of illegal sale as presented before the
committee by Secretary Knight, of
National Dairy Union, are ludicrously
impotent. According to Mr.. Broad
wells testimony the consuming public
Of Chicago all want oleomargarine
rather than butter, but are afraid to
ask for it-so the oleo people give
them oleo when they ask for butter.
According to one account of Mr..
Broadwell's testimony some Of his
customers get oleomargarine when
they ask for butter with a wing
just as man in a prohibition town
gets stick" in his ginger ale. Speak
ing Of the efforts of the oleo dealers
to guard the public from getting what
they don't want Mr.. Broadwell says,
"they think they don't want oleomar-
garine and call for butter" and fur
ther, when asked why people don't
ask for olemargarine If they really
want it, he answers that they don't
want to come in and ask for 1t before a
lot Of people," because 1t is considered
social degradation" Therefore,, the
oleo man reasons as follows: Oleo is
better than butter; therefore every
body wants oleo rather than butter;
but 1t is degrading to ask for oleo, so
people ask for butter when they want
cleo; therefore we give them cleo
whether they ask for 1t or not!
We trust that the evident amusement
with which this class of logic was re-
ceived by the committee is an indica-
ton that the real truth was per
ceived beneath the mask of nonsense.

Kafr Corn for steers.

haHr COru otVcFSs
Some experiments in steer feeding
nm Kafir corn at the Oklahoma Expert
ment station gave the following prac-
tfcal results:
1. Kafir slower contained as much
digestible matter as average corn
slower.
2. Kafir fodder contained 10 per
cent less digestible matter than aver
age corn fodder.
3. Kafir heads contained one-third
as much digestible matter as average
corn-and-
A. Kafir corn fed In the heads was
neither more nor less digestible than
when fed after thrashlng.
5. Kafir corn fed after soaking In
water for twelve hours was less d.
gestible than when fed dry.
6. Kafir corn fed dry contained AZ
per cent less digestible matter than
coarsely ground Kaflr meal.
Z. Kafir meal coarsely ground, con-
tanned 20 per cent less digestible mat
ter than average corn meal.
8. 1t paid to Grind Kafir Corn-One
hundred pounds Of Kafir meal con-
tanned as much digestible matter as
one hundred and sixty-seven pounds OF
Kafir corn.
9. A gain of thirteen per cent In the
amount of digestible matter was Sc
cured when Kafir fodder was thrashed.
the grain ground and fed to steers
along with the shredded slower from
the fodder.
10. A gain of less than two per cent
in the amount of digestible matter was
secured when Kafir fodder was thrash
ed and the resulting Kaf1r corn fed to
steers along with the shredded slower
from the fodder.
Relative Gain OF Fattening Steers
Recent experiments have been made
which help to show the relative gain
of steers on a given ration at different
periods of their lives. Thus during the
first two months it requires trife un-
der 800 pounds of grain to lay on 100
mounds of weight. During the next
month it requires 10 per cent In
crease Of the food to make the same
amount of gain. The fourth month
shows a still slower gain, and to make
the same gain in weight the grain
must be increased Is per cent, and the
next month the increase must be nearly
Ok per cent In the following month
and half the food has to be increased
81 per cent?. P. Smith in Exchange.

GOV. BRADLEY.
Bs Declines to Say Whether lie Had Com
sidersd Appealing to President
Mckinley for Aid.

FRANKFoRT, KY, Nov. 30. - Hon.
James Andrew Scott one of the Goe-
bellies who made fiery speeches here
two weeks when Goebel arrived from
Covington, and advised democrats to
arm themselves ito resist Gov. Brad
ley's blue coats" was more conserva-
tive Tuesday night and inclined to
regard the Washington story light.
Gov. Bradley denied that he had been
informed by Mckinley that troops
would be furnished if asked for
and declined TO say whether he had
considered appealing to the president
for aid. Instead of repeating the Goe-
bel election law, which was the issue
in the late gubernatorial campaign, as
the republican leaders claim hope of
doing by the alliance of tue repu blic-
ans and anti-Goebel democrats. Dem7
ocratic leaders assert that the law win
not only be maintained but will be
strengthened by some important
amendments. One of these it is said
will be the removal of device on the
official ballot and requirement that
voters scratch out name of such can de
dates as he desires not to vote for.
This nominally amounts to education
al qualification and would disfranchise
the bulk of colored voters who consti-
tute over one-third of the republican
party of this state.

cism of A. NJ. Scott, engineer In charge of
the Kanawhs river improvements, for the
part he took in assisting the coal feet to get
away from PIT. Pleasant on the recent scRnt
water. The criticism is regarded as entirely
unwarranted, as only the surplus water was
drawn of the upper pools, and at no time
was the traffic OF packets suspended because
OF the flooding of the coal tows. In this
connection. the coal men point out that the
improvement was made because of the vast
coal interests on the stream. and that the
packet men should be glad OF the improve.
nent, even II they were compelled to wait
for day or two for water In cases like last
week. But for the coal interests, there would
have been no improvement. and packet navi,
CATION would have to be suspended for
months at time, in all Likelihood. II is had on
good authority that Colonel Scott gave ample
notice to everybody interested Ia Kanawha

part Of the water from the pools aud that the
pools were affected only for a little more than
a day. The local and Kanawha river coal men
