Gravel an Essential.

A chicken can always distinguish be
tween gravel and food, and it knows
enough to eat gravel when it is needed
and food when it is necessary. providing
both are available. Grit of some kind
is as necessary for fowls that are fed
largely on grain as the food itself. On
some farms it is not available, and the
fowls have to get along the best they
can without teeth. On some farms too
there is more or less indigestion, which
is called cholera and other dangerous
Affections, and all kinds of decoctions
are given them, when about all they
need is some kind OF grit to answer the
purpose of masticating and grinding
food. The Homestead.

Sun-Baths For Fowls,

1t is not alone the cold weather of
winter, but even more the lack of sun
light during the short days that restricts
egg production at this season. Plenty
of sunlight Is as essential as warmth to
make the hens lively and helthful. But
the single glass, narrow windows, often
only single pane, and that covered
with dust and cobwebs at all seasons,
a0d with ice and snow in winter, do but
little good. What are needed in all
hen houses are large windows. Keep
the places where the sunlight falls free
from manure and covered with sand or
coal ashes. Fowls will dust themselves
here. and basking IN the sunlight will
soon begin to lay.-Farm Home.

"stop Thief"

From time whence the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary
the CRY of "stop thief" was first raised
by the pickpocket himself as he rush
ed down the street, seemingly trying
to catch someone ahead of him, and
thus attempting to fool the bystand.
ers and also the one who lost his
purse. For time this ruse worked
successfully and does yet once in a
while.
For the same purpose, to Wit: fool
ing people, the cry of harmony is sow
raised by the republican bosses, who
are creating dlscord and who propose
TO have their own way regardless of
the rank and file and regardless of the
welfare of the party. After their fell.
lows are nominated they start the cry,
"vote for the nominee! the place 20
fight man is before the convention
and not at the polls, ;" and we all say,
"Amen." Then after they work the
thing this way four or FIVE times and
the rank and file begins to show
preference for someone other than
their cut and dried fellow ringster be-
fore the convention and criticize these
bosses for attempting to thrust upon
US again, after patience ceases to be n
virtue, man entirely distasteful to
the great majority of the republicans,
they start the cry that We are fight,
ing the party.
We say that before and st the con,
vention is the time and place to do
the fighting. Do they say. "Amen'ii
Nary amen. Their rule works but
one way-their way. IF half dozen
over the state, who have entrenched
themselves in good fat jobs and have
sworn to help each other at no matter
what cost, are the republican party.
then We suppose We are fighting the
party. For we are against THE ring
rule that hiss been going on for years
and getting holder and holder. But.
We do not concede for Q moment that
they are the party and their cry of
harmony when thsy are the ones who
are creating discord is not going to
feol Us any longer. He who seeks
harmony must do harmony.-Great

in excess of the small cost.
The recent poultry show has demon
strated the fact that Barton county
people are realizing the value of that
part of farm industry. People who de-
sire too keep breeds of poultry which
are the best egg producers are buying
the small, or Mediterranean class, the
Leghorns, Minorcas, Anconas, etc.,
while those who prefer fowl that grows
large, and makes better early market
stock, seek the Cochins, Brahmas and
Langshans. The fowls in the Ameri-
can class, the Plymouth Rocks, Wyan.
dottes etc. are the choice for, all pur-
pose birds, being of good size, hardy,
of quick growth and good layers and
brooders. The great favorite in this
county is the Barred Plymouth Rock.

year concerning the management of
republican politics in Kansas. If
there ever was a state 'boss ridden"
from the time Gifts admission to the
Union to the present time, that state
is Kansas. Time and again we have
called the attention of the republican
voters of Barton county to the fact
that they have been led by the nose
to do the bidding of the bosses, and
have blindly closed their eyes to their
individual interests and followed such
leadership, all for party name alone;
but never before has there been re.
publican paper in the county with
sufficient independence to admit that
our charges were correct, aud to
warn its party followers against the
bosses. While the editor of the Reg
lister, by thus asserting his manhood,
is calling down the wrath of the fxers
upon his head, We believe that he has
the better element of his party with
him, and that in time he will succeed
in downing the "ring."

the man who was tearing the con-

1t was fortunate indesd that the
accident was not of more serious

II the matter was not so serious it
would seem ridiculous that "citi-

because the doctors in the vicinity
have had no personal experiences iu
regard to the bubonic plague. Is it
possible that the "citizeus" have bad
more experience in plague matters
or in any other sickness than Drs.
Armitage and Wedd'ch?
That the plague has broken out
on Maui is very sad indeed and there
will be- those who will blame the
