Worst Sort OF imperialism.

for sound money at the Democratic
convention. In an interview at Kan
sas City, he said:
THE strongest silver men are with
us. Even Jones is with us, and has

Poultry Brle Is.

that last year 106,9SS.710 pounds of
live and dressed poultry were shipped
from the ia counties of Missouri. This
sum is an increase over the preceding
year of 36,907 ,443 pounds. The total
number of dozens of eggs shipped last
year was 34,S75 Gao, and the aggregate
value received by producers OF poultry
and eggs was $12 ,091 .0lS.5i
1t is reported that Canada is send
ing large quantities of poultry TO the
United States. Last year between 81
600 and 10000 live geese were shipped
TO the feeding yards of one poultry
man in Massachusetts. There have
been seen at Sabrevois. in the prov
ince of Quebec. as many as II 500 live
geese and 5000 live ducks at one time,
and it takes 125 bushels Of grain day
10 feed them. The firm of S. II. Jones.
at Sabrevois, has had at one time as
many as $4,000 geese and Is, 900 ducks.

Few realize the aggregate value OF
our poultry industry. Statistics on
this point are of very little value.
Fowls are kept not only on the more
than 100000 farms of the United
States. but also by millions of persons
residing in the villages and cities.
The beauty of this industry is that
the smallest capitalist may invest in
it, as 20 cents will buy live hen. With
the increasing population of the coun-
| try poultry meat is certain to take a
high place. If the time ever comes
when beef, pork and mutton cannot
be cheaply produced here, poultry flesh
will be in enormous demand. We have
formed the meat eating habit and the
| people will have meat. Our poultry
industry is bound to become more i'm
portant year by year.
Probably there was never a time in
| the history of this country when great
er Improvement was being mace IN
poultry than at the present time In
the West as we'll as in the East the
people are coming to see that i'm
proved breeds pay best. The great
markets are constant reminders to the
thousands of shippers that fowls must
be bred to suit the demand. Every
pure breed poultry establishment Is
center from which go out in al
directions pure bred males to improve
and grade up the flocks. The fanciers
by constantly advertising for years
have induced multitudes to come tc
their way of thinking. That there Il
money in the business Is proof thai
the people are responding to the agi
tation for better types OF fowls.

Sheen a. Fertility Conserver..

Bulletin CT of the West Virginia Ex-
pertinent station says: A large pro-
portion OF the lambs which are raised
in West Virginia for the production
OF mutton, are marketed in the fall,
and although this is undoubtedly the
simplest way os disposing Of the sur
plus lambs, yet this practice possesses
some serious defects, fo- when animals
OF any kind are constantly being sold
from farm, with now and then some
hay or grain, the fertility of the soil
Is continually carried away, and unless
commercial fertilizers are employed to
supply the deficiency of potash and
phosphoric acid, the productiveness OF
the land must constantly diminish.
On the other hand, IL these lambs
can be profitably fattened during the
winter, they may be made to consume
the clover hay, or other coarse fodder
Of the farm which has only small
commercial value. Also the farmer Is
enabled to feed his grain at home in
stead OF being obliged to draw 1t sew
eral miles to the railroad station. In
addition to the grain which is raised
upon the farm. some OF the concen-
trated feeding stuffs. such as cotton
seed meal, linseed meal, or wheat bran
can generally be used to advantage in
the fattening ration, and as each OF
these materials contains a large guam
tity of nitrogen, phosphoric acid. and
potash, which is recovered in the ma
nure. it is seen that when the policy
of feeding the lambs during the win
ter is intelligently carried out, that
the land will gradually become richer
instead of poorer, because more fer
tility will be added by the manure
than is carried away by the lamb crop.
