Robbed of S27.OO.

The house breaker is doing busi-
ness in town again. The latest vic
tim is Mr.. c. w. Murphy who lives
on South Jefferson and is janltor at
the south school building. Friday
he and his wife left their home and
went to the school house as usual to
sweep out. Upon their return they
discovered that some miscreant had
entered the house during their absence
and stolen a purse containing $27.
There seems no clue whatever to the
thief and he will probably not be APP
pretended.

A Good Appointment.

Gov. Stanley has appointed Nor
ton Albaugh bank commissioner for
the next four yeals in place of J.W.
Breidenthal. This is an excellent
appointment and one that will give
eminent satisfaction to the Repub-
licans of this state.
Mr.. Albaugh has talent for the
place and will doubtless fill it to the
entire satisfaction of those most dir
ectly concerned. From a political
standpoint, he has amply earned
the place. He has successfully con-
Quoted the last two state campaigns
and was easily in position to have
anything he might want, within the
power of the Governor to give. We
congratulate Mr.. Albaugh and also
the Governor on his choice of bank
commissioner.

Too Strange To Be True.

The Protective policy is quite in
accord with the biblical injunction
to "return evil with good" In spite
of the blows given to it in the South
ern States it still continues to heap
up wealth and prosperity for those
same States. The latest instance
of this is shown in the increased
trade in cotton. During October
just past the exports of cotton from
this country were more than double,
both in quantity and value, the ex-
ports of October, 1899. Accord
ing to the figures given, I,2II.a34
bales we're exported, as against 1870,
S55 bales In October, 1899, the val
ale being 500, 3oI,1o7, as against
Sa8, 34S,4I8, the value of the exports
in October, 1899. In view of this
showing under the administration of
President Mckinley, in view of the
wonderful stories told every day OF
the marvellous prosperity of the South
under our present policy of Protect
ion, can it be possible that the
South was sincere in its role of Nov
ember 6? 1t hardly seems credible.

Too Fat To Lay.

Isthere any foundation for the as
Sertlon tina: it is possible for hen to
become too fat to lay? This is ques-
tion which a great many people are
interested in having settled in an au-
thoritatiVe e ma ner. Some writers are
continually dwelling on the danger Of
overfeeding, and averrlng that the
failure to obtain eggs is more often
due to excessive feeding, particularly
OF the grain ration. than anything else.
Others contend that fatness of the
mems has no apprecable effect upon
egg production. and allude to the hens
on the farm which have free access to
he corn cribs and feed-yards. They
contend that these hens are oyerfed
if such thing is possible, and yet
farmers are IN the habit Of taking
great baskets OF eggs to he store dur
ing six months or more of the wear.
This writer believes that a great
deal Of loss is entailed upon keepers Of
poultry as a result of overfeeding
And this loss is largely shared by the
farmers. The sales of the eggs from
the farm are mostly made in summer.
A large portion of farmers have diff
Guilty in obtaining eggs enough for
family use in winter, and those who
have them to sell at that time have
learned lesson on the subject of feed
ing.
The open-air exercise, the vegetable
and insect diet which the hens obtain
while running at large on the farm in
summer, will keep the eggmaking ma
chinery in good working order, how
ever abundant the supply of grain with
in their reach. Under these condit-
ions there Is not the slightest danger
of the hens getting too fat to lay.
The farmer sees the hens filling them
selves with grain every day, and yet
the eggs keep "a-comng." 1t is not
surprising that he should reason on
the subject and conclude that all this
fuss about overfeeding is delusion.
The damage from overfeeding is done
In tie winter, and usually at the very
outstart Of winter. The hens come
off the range 10 a very fat condition.
They have been molting for two
months or more just in advance of the
winter, and molting hen in the
midst of an abundance of feed is al
ways a fat hen. Heavy grain feeding
will not stop them from laying, be-
cause egg production comes to stane-
still with molting hens as soon as the
cool nights set in; but it will prevent
the start to laying when the growth
of the new coat of feathers is complete.
Moderate feeding is of the utmos i'm
pOrtance until the excess of fat is work.
ed off and the laying condition is re-
established. After this has been
brough ht about we are In full accord
with those who believe you cannot
stop hen from laying by overfeed-
ing Farmers Voice.
