1t is evident from this statement that
since 1898 no mayor has been elected by
Il majority of more than 80 in case of
contest; and that the total vote cast Tues
day was about twice that OF 1895, the
aggregate having shown a steady and
gratifying increase up to the present
time.
Turning from the mayoralty to the con-
tests OF Tuesday in the various wards
we !ind surprising results, and in none
more so than in the First ward, which has
been steadfastly republican for many
years In 1896 O. r. Mason was elected
alderman over +. O. Sinclair. the success
full contestant of Tuesday, by a vote OF
103 to ST. majority of 49, and since that
date the democrats of that ward had made
no contest for alderman up to the present
time. Last year 1t gave Peck plurality
of 6j and while the plurality of Roberts
for mayor was Il, the republican margin
for alderman was wiped out and Mr.. Sim
clair, the democratic candidate, was elect
ed by IA majority of 46 over j. Ct. Burnes,
the republican nominee. This result Is to
attributed to the fractional differences
WnlCn lOllOWcu from mo uelcat or Alder
man Edgcumbe for denomination at the
end of his first term and the defeat of
other aspirants for the honor of the al
dermanic nomination. Mr.. Sinclair, who
is man of considerable ability also
claims to have received the support of a
number of students OF the University of
which institution he is a graduate.
IN the Second Ward the republicans
have been hopelessly divided for several
years as a result of aldermanic contests,
and the extent 70 which the normal re-
publican majority of 30 has been reduced
Is evident from Tuesdays results. While
Mr.. Roberts received 1l3 majority, Alder
man Munson's margin in his reelection
was only 30. He attributes the marked
falling off in his support to a number of
adverse influences, but from this and pre-
vious contests it is evident that unless
the republicans of the ward heal their
differences at once the Second will soon
be ranked amongst the uncertain wards
OF the city.

ration for a month or so before killing,
as poultry must be plump in order to
command a good price. Milk is excel
lent for growth as we'll rs for eggs
and rotning is better than plenty Of
skimmilk from a creamery. If you
not already feeding animal food, be-
gin it at once. Unless the poultry have
unlimited range they do not get sutf1-
cient meat of themselves. The hens
have probably been trying to sit more
or less all summer, and are beginning
TO mott, and this is good time to be
getting them into condition to change
their old overcoats for new. Cut bone
is always the best egg-producer, but
this is too much work for busy farm
people, and most of us have to be con-
tent with some kiln-dried substitute.
Look out for the corn. [ do not know
but what Leghorns can eat it every
night, but it is too fattening for most
breeds. Wheat for supper five times
a week is my rule.
Unless pullets were Matched very
early, they must be forced somewhat
in order to get to laying before cold
weather. Many pullets will grow red
and look OH the verge of laying in Sep
TENDER, but will not get down to bust
ness before November. If, however,
you can get the pullets we'll to laying
by Thanksgiving they will keep it up
through the winter and become a
Klondike.rig at home.

Turkeys.

One who has raised turkeys many
years, and who takes pleasure in max
ing experiments, states that charcoal,
turkey Fat, and diamonds are alike in
some respects, says the American Gar
dening. 1t is a fact that more fat may
be gotten out of charcoal than one
would suspect without a knowledge Of
chemistry. Here is an account of one
experiment: -Four turkeys were con-
fined in a pen and fed on meal, boil
ell potatoes, and oats. For others of
the same brood were at the same time
confined in another pen, and fed daily
on the same article, but with one pint
ed with their food-miXed meal and
potatoes. They had also a plentiful
supply of charcoal (broken) in their
pen. The eight were killed on the
same day and there was difference
of one and one-half pounds each in IA
vOr of the fowls that had been sup
Piled with charcoal, they being much
the fatter, and the meat being much
superior IL point Of tenderness AMI
favor
There is general complaint that
young turkeys suddenly droop and die
without apparent cause. This occurs
usually during the summer season and
especially during the very warm
weather. If a close examination be
made, the solution will be found in the
presence Of lice. The best remedy is
to dust them with insect powder and
remove them to a new location from
the one to which they have repaired
for the night. AS further precau-
ton, make mixture Of ten parts car
bolic acid and 100 parts cotton seed
oil, and grease them on top of the head
and around the vent, but do not grease
them on the body.

Kerosene For Poultry.

A writer in Barlow COurier-InfOrm-
ant, advocates the use of kerosene in
the poultry yard. The following arti-
Gle will, perhaps, be interesting to
poultry breeders:
The many uses that kerosene can be
put to in the poultry yard makes it an
almost indispensable article to be
charged to the expense account; and
no article will enhance the profit of
the poultry yards as kerosene diligent-
ly and intelligently used for painting
the inside of nest boxes; for setting
hens there is nothing equal to it, as it
surely kills all and prevents other YER
min from entering the nest until it is
thoroughly evaporated, which, if the
crude oil is used, will give the hen
ample time to hatch her brood. A few
drops in the drinking water OCCASION
ally has a good effect upon the general
health of the flock, and for colds OF
Group there is nothing better if care
fully applied. Scaly legs may be cured
by simply wetting the legs of the fowls
affected occasionally, and the crude oil
is best III this case also, as it takes a
much longer time to evaporate. When
the crude oil is not readily obtained
some kind of heavy oil or grease
should be mixed with the kerosene to
stay evaporation. AS remedy for
cl1lcr" it has been highly recon-
mended.

Timely Chicken Notes.

Bones and muscle, flesh and eggs
call for good nourishing food and
plenty of it, says A. L. Rogers in
American Agriculturist, and as the
weeks go by, be sure you increase the
amount of food accordingly. Oatmeal
(steam-cooked oats) is the best known
food for q good foundation, and va
riety later on only partly takes the
place of this, which becomes too ex-
pensive for a large brood after the
first few weeks. The morning mash,
cracked corn and wheat, will, however,
make the chicks grow and keep them
growing only give a plenty One is
so apt to skimp the feed little as the
chicks grow older, and seems to have
bottomless crops, while the grain bills
eat up the profits.
1t is better to pen up the cockerels
separately and feed more fattening

Fall Management in Feeding.


AS soon as the leaves begin to fall
and the grass gradually dies out the
fowls will require more assistance
from their owner, says a writer in
Farm, Field and Fireside. Ordinarily,
in the summer when grass, insects and
seeds are plentiful flock not only finds
an abundance but each fowl is capa-
BILE of selecting such foods as may be
preferred, but when the conditions are
not so favorable they may each lack
certain foods which they are unable
to obtain Should there be an insult
ficiency of bulky food the fowls will
eat the dried dead grass, which may
pack in the crops and cause them to
become crop-bound. The majority of
poultrymen begin by giving the birds
plenty of corn and wheat. Such foods
may be allowed with benefit but it is
a mistake to expect fowls to thrive on
such a restricted diet, says American
Gardening. One point to keep in view
in the feeding of poultry is that all
kinds must have bulky food of some
kind, the same as cattle, sheep or
swine, and to confine them to corn and
wheat, which are concentrated foods,
is to ''burn them up,'' if the expression
may be used. In the fall, as the sum-
mer begins to give way to cold wealth
err the fowls should have about a pint
of grain at night for every twelve in
the flock. AS the winter advances the
allowance may gradually be increased
until the quantity reaches quart.
This grain should be given at night.
During the day-in the morning-such
foods as cooked potatoes, a head of
cabbage, cut grass, or clover (scalded)
bone, meat, and occasionally a soft
mess of bran and ground oats may be
given, feeding only in the morning and
at night, never at noon. When any of
these foods are given the grain ration
should be reduced. 1t is better to give
a different food every morning than to
have a sameness of diet Fed in this
manner the birds will keep in healthy
condition, will lay, will be more con-
tented, and it will be found that the
varied foods are more economical than
an exclusive diet of grain.

Poultry Notes.

EOu1CIy NOCcS.
Never allow fowls to drink stagnant
water.
Hens three years old are not profit
bile to keep, except they are of the
small laying variety.
The Java fowls are the same size,
shape and the general makeup of the
Rocks, but they mature earlier, COM
mence to lay earlier and lay more eggs.
Changing quarters during the laying
season will check egg production.
There is nothing gained by it if the
fowls are always provided with clean
quarters.
Give your fowls lime. Bury few
large Jumps of lime in the moist earth
where the hens frequent. Allow the
lime to project a little above the sur
face to attract them. Lime in the
shape of old plaster is also excellent
Fresh cut bone for an occasional
light feed is very good indeed, but do
not get too excited about it as enter
ing largely into food for fowls. Don't
buy too heavily Of bone meal or granu-
lated bone; you can scare up just as
good food at home.
Do not forget that the Ratchet is the
best remedy for sick fowls, but do not
apply it in very mild cases. A little
cold in fowls may terminate in rOup,
but a few uses of coal oil APPLIED to
the nostrils, mouth and throat will us
ually keep it in check.
The male birds are half the flock.
Scarcely anyone now thinks of going
through the poultry season without
stocking up with thoroughbred rOOst-
ers of the variety they prefer, or the
different varieties if they prefer an as
sortment. 1t is truly wonderful the
change that can be made on any flock
thus.
The droppings of poultry should not
be allowed to accumulate and remain
in their quarters longer than a few
days and never over one week. At
ter cleaning and sweeping out, have
box containing a little air Stacked lime,
and with your broom dipped into the
lime sweep over the floor, dropping
boards and everywhere any dampness
shows itself. But do not use the lime
too heavily.
AS a tonic and preventive of dis
ease in poultry there is nothing better
than the Douglass Mixture" TO one
pound of sulphate of iron (copperas),
add one ounce Of sulphuric acid. Dis
solve this in one gallon of drinking wa
ter, and keep corked in jug when
not in use. TO one gallon of drinking
water add one tablespoonful OF this
mixture.
