Remember that the well hen does
not need medicine. and that the sick
hen does not need it after she gets
well. The feeding Of chemicals to
stimulate any functions that are al
ready healthy is a mistake. It Is aa-
voeated mostly by the people that
have the chemical preparations to sell.
Every sensible poultryman feeds ana
treats his fowls in way that makes
such drugs unnecessary.

The value or harmfulness OF the
grain diet depends on what other FOOD
is being given or being secured by the
birds. While corn is condemnedasan ex-
elusive grain food, in the case of fowls
that have the run Of the fields and
can get green food as well as insects.
it often proves what is wanted. There
is no rule that it is safe to lay down,
but each case must be judged accord
ing to the circumstances that directly
and closely affect it.

While the number Of hens that die
from poison is probably not large, yet
some deaths Of poultry are due to
poison and should be guarded against.
The demises are Invariably due to
carelessness. The can that has con-
tanned paint is thrown out into the I'M
used corner of the yard. The rain
comes and fills it with water and the
poultry drink it. The potato field is
sprayed with paris green and the little
chicks drink from the bright drops
that sparkle in the sun, and afterwards
die from Some mysterious disease"
The poison that is put to kill rats is
sometimes discovered by the chicks
and eaten. The constant use of poi
sons causes certain amount of care
lessness. Such carelessness is likely
at any time to prove expensive.

Yarded Fowls-I lived in town from
1890 to 1897 and kept from twenty
four to forty-eighty chickens in lot
S0x66 feet. This was set in plum
trees. with an occasional run over the
garden and small grass plat. We
had very satisfactory results. We fed
whole corn, oats and wheat. They also
had milk and scraps from the kitchen.
IN addition they were allowed to run
at win in small stable yard S0xS0
feet. They also had access to the
stable and buggy house during the
day, but invariably kept on their own
ground at night. B. Roberts.

An eastern farmer declares that he
has discovered a trick that is being
played by a certain poultryman that
has developed a fine strain OF breeding
birds. He bought two hens. One died
and the other refused to lay. After
awhile the second one died. and he
made an examination to discover cause
of death. To his establishment he
found that the hen had been capon-
ized-rendered impotsnt to produce
eggs. The farmer asserts that 1t was
done to prevent the hen laying eggs
and SO that the breeder in question
could hold a monopoly Of The business.

CURRENT COMMENT.
TOwNE A. DOG In THE MANGER.
minneapolis Tribune.)

Eastern Democrats are evidently sour
over the nomination of Towne Of Min
nesota at Sioux Falls, and they have be-
gun to accuse Towne of treachery to Bry-
an. they say there was an understand
ing between the two-not a written
agreement, but a sort Of gentleman S
agreement''--that Towne should use his
influence to prevent any vice presidential
nomination by the Fusion Popuiists,
but TO have the matter left in the hands
of a COMMITTEES which would be free to
make the best arrangement consistent
with Bryan's interests when the regular
Democratic convention should assemble.
We do not, of course, know whether
there was any such agreement between
Bryan and Iowne or not, but politicians
will agree that IL would have been very
sensible agreement for them to make,
and we do know that when IL came to
the point Towne did nothing to prevent
his own nomination at Sioux Falls.
This nomination cannot fail To embar-
rass Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party
In q great many ways. The reluctance
of the old line Democrats, and especially
those of the East, to accept Towne Is al
ready seen. On the other hand, IL he is
rejected 1t will make trouble with the
Fusionists who swear by the Mfnnesotan,
and il cannot lie denied that he has a
good many friends. 1t is not surprising
that the most acute Democratic leaders
are taking u gloomy view of the situa-
ton.

What the Methodist Conference did MS
regards amusements was to let things
remain as they were. The majority re-
port had recommended that the clause
relating to specific ADJUSTMENTS be taken
out of the discipline, and placed under
the head of Especial advices, which are
not of the nature of mandatory rules.
But the opposition to this recommended
ton prevailed, and dancing, playing at
games of chance, attending theatres.
horse races, circuses, dancing parties, or
patronizing dancing schools, or taking
such other amusements as are obviously
of misleading or questionable moral ten
dency, are still prohibited by the Methe-
dist discipline. Doubtless the people who
advocated the retention of the rules ex-
pected that they would be frequently
violated In the future, as they have been
in the past, but they were afraid lest
their abrogation or modification might
be construed as giving the sanction Of the
church to these ADJUSTMENTS.

Matching . scheme 70 retire him and
nominate Dewey by reclamation. How
feasible the scheme Is may hs Judged By
the fact that It all turns ON inducing
Bryan to withdraw voluntarily, and II IL
hoped to do this by convincing him that
he cannot be elected n nominated, and
promising him the portfolio Of State in
Dewey's cabinet. II this programme Is
ever troarhed TO Mr.. Bryan and the pro-
cess Of convincing him Is Fever entered
upon, Mr.. Bryan will very likely demand
and that it will be very difficult. we i'm
agine, TO give. Mr.. Bryan can point out
a dozen assurances Of his mecess 10 one
for Admiral Dewey. He can easily show
that he Is the favorite Of the great mass
Of the voters Of the Democratic party. He
can point to the endorsements Of dozens
of Democratic conventions while Ad-
miral Dewey cannot show one single en-
dorsement. He can show that he is in
accord with the views of the rank and
file of the party ON all the questions Of
the day, while Admiral Dewey agrees
with them on hardly single one. As
the Democratic party Is constituted today
there can be no doubt that Bryan repre-
sents 1t better than any other man, and
for that reason would get smore Of its
votes than any other man. II the Demo-
Gratis can't elect him there Is no man they
can elect. Dewey might suit the gold
wing better, but that wing is Of little con-
sequence so far as votes are concerned,
as compared with :the other wing. 1t
may he more respectable, but respecta-
BILE man can't throw any more votes than
the other kind. Votes are needed to elect
Presidents, and the great majority of
the votes of the Democratic party are
with BRYAN.

The Beers abandoned their intention OF
resisting Lord Roberts at the Kip river,
and fed as mcontlnently as at the Vaal.
The fact seems to be that the British
pursuit Of the retreating Beers is SO
rapid and made with such overwhelming
numbers that the latter have no time to
post themselves for defence. The moment
they halt the British cavalry is upon
them, and before they can take up n de-
fensive position the infantry and artillery
come up and they are compelled to fly
in order to escape being cut off, and sur
rounded. We see no prospect that Gen
eral Botha will be able to check the Brit
ish advance until Pretoria is reached.
They may be able to stop the British there
and compel them to lay siege to the city.
But the only effect Of that win bs delay
The tide that is running against the
Beers cannot be turned by any army they
can put in the field. A siege of Pretoria
means great deal OF suffering to the
inhabitants, suffering that will be abso
lutely powerless to change the result. Al
as far as one can judge, the British have
already solved their difficult military
problems. When they come to decide the
future government of the Transyaal and
Orange Free State there are likely TO be
some civil problems which will give
them a good deal Of trouble and will tar
all their wisdom.

The rebellion started by the Boxers, !"
IA Chinese secret society opposed to foreign
innovation, is assuming formidable pro
portions, and the government is either in
secret sympathy with it or unable to cope
with it, At last accounts the rioters were
within few miles of Picking and
were marching on that city. The cause OF
this uprising Is not very clear, but the
aggression of foreign nations in China
have probably had something to do with
it. If the government proves unwilling
or unable to cope with it. fresh impetus
will be given undo ubtedly to the move
ment to partition China, and take it I'M
der the protection of the European pow
ers. A government that is unable or un-
willing to protect foreigners in its do
minions will not be permitted to exist a
great while, especially when its territory
is greatly coveted.
