How to Fatten Chickens.


Young chickens, say. from two TO
three months old. will not take on fat
when running at large, and are there
fore not in prime condition for the
table. They will. of course, be thrifty
and grow fast. but their flesh does not
have that tender and juicy flavor that
weeks special care in confinement
will give.
\ great many people do incalculable
iniury to the fowls by shooting among
them. or by letting dog chase the one
they want TO kill.
This is all wrong. and may be avoid
cd by having Il slat coop large enough
to comfortably hold half a dozen
chickens. Catch them at night after
they have gone TO roost. and quietly
put them in the coop. Feed them MI
they will eat of table scraps. cooked
potatoes. rice. milk. etc. Vegetable
scraps and grass should also be given.
In week or ten days time they will
be fat. and so far superior to one taken
from the flock At large that you could
tell the difference even when blind
folded. PrOviSiOner.

Shreddinr or ThreshinS Corn.

I have handled the corn crop in the
dry state in nearly every way possible.
Running it through the old threshing
machine has these objections: You can

there is no practical way of getting the
fodder from the machine without
treadng it more or less. and this will
start the whole bulk heating at once.

you think this was? Because he had
physical courage; he was brave man.
But he also had another kind of cour-
age, to stand for what is right. He was
faithful to the right always, and he did
not fear to do what was right. When
he was elected to the presidency for the
first time, he was a poor man. He had
made some unfortunate investments, and
gave up everything that his debts might
be paid. Ia his political career he was
always faithful, and always trying to do
what was right. He could not be bribed
or threatened, or persuaded to do what
was not right.
Then he was persistent. If he didn't
succeed the first time, he tried and tried
again, until he did succeed. He did not
believe in luck, what you boys call luck
but always said luck would not last,
though it might do for a little while. He
said it could not be depended upon.
Work was his motto.
Then there was his gentleness and
kindness, which went far TO make up
this Christian gentleman. You boys
think that to be gentle and kind is only
for the girls, but that is not right. MI.
Mckinley, great man that he was, was
! gentle and loving to all his people and
kind and courteous to everyone. 1t made
him more than a man. He didn't nave
hatred in his heart for anyone.

HIGH IDEALS MARKED
THE PRESIDENTS LIFE
(CoEtinled from page j

The greatest artists have erected
monuments, great preachers have
preached the most eloquent Of sermons
in honor of those who have rendered
public service, to those who have pre-
served society. [ would not have you
go away with the idea that these onlv
are to be hOnored who occupy eXalte-
positions, but in all civilized and un-
civilized nations tributes are always
paid to those who have rendered their
duty to communities or performed
anything of a public nature which they
conceived to be their duty. So, the
higher and more exalted the position
these tributes The man who is Presi
dent Of the United States Is known
all over the world, is praised and laud-
ed by all the world for his eminent
character and abilities.
1t is very extraordinary to me as I
look on the three pictures on the wall
CLinCOln, Garfield and Mckinley, to
think Of Mckinley as a man born in
humble circumstances, without the OPP
portunities for education that you
have, to have become so eminent in
the estimation of his fellow men. AS
you know, they were all born in hum
BILE CirCumStanceS-One rail splitter,
another a boy who drove mules on the
canal towpath to support his mother
and Mckinley, who sprang from hum
BILE circumstances, and by hard work
they finally occupied the highest pO-
sitions in the greatest government on
earth. Strange it is, indeed, that these
men OF all men should be selected,
singled out for the knife or the bullet
of the assassin.
Il can understand in reading the
history of countries that have tyranni-
cal rulers, and there is no election or
any way to get rid of that ruler eX-
cept by assassination, although this
course is much to be condemned; I can
understand some kind of a shadow Of
reason for such assassination. But, as
| you all know, here are a free people
| that select their own rulers. They
| come together every four years and
select whom they desire for President,
and for four years that man occupies
the most exalted position in the nation
I of 5000, 900 of people. Can you con-
Ceive of anything more despicable than
such an act as this? You can put out
( a President every four years If he does
not do well. Here is a man, by his

comes along with the great gathering
to shake the hand of the President,
but instead of grasping his hand the
assassin pulls out a pistol and shoots

WHAT THE SUN SAYS.

The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday said
1t would seem from the report of the Fred
erck city election that the new ballot law not
only received full and fair test yesterday,
but thai its working was not unsatisfactory to
many Republicans. The opposition to the
Democratic State administration made State
issue in local election of the election law
and the census law passed by the extra session
of the Legislature. This issue was boldly ac-
cepted by the Democrats of Frederick city,
and it is claimed that many Republicans came
to their support, which very likely would not
have been the case if the issue had not been
broadened in the way it was. In municipal
election of city like Frederick, no questions
but those of purely local concern could be ex-
pected to influence voters, and it was mis-
take for the Republicans to make their APP
peals on other lines. 1t is stated that all the
Democratic illterates. Of whom there are over
100 in the city, voted the Democratic ticket
as usual, and that the new ballot, without
guiding emblems, did not bar them out. If
there were any negroes who could not vote the
ticket as it is arranged, it only demonstrates
more strikingly the folly of forcing State is
sues to the front, as was done by the Republi-
can managers in this memorable contest.
The Frederick city Democrats have won
signal victory, considering all the circum-
stances. They had to face the direct issue of
responsibility for the whole Democratic party,
which was sprung upon them in the last hours
of the campaign, and they have come out of
the trial triumphantly.
On March 25, when the Democrats carried
Hagerstown, three days before the adjourn
ment of the extra session of the Legislature,
the same questions that influenced the result
in Frederick were uppermost in the minds of
voters, though not the direct issue. There
fore it may be considered that two of the chief
cities of Western Maryland, where the Re-
publican party is normally strongest in the
State, are not opposed to the ballot change or
to having the control of city and State affairs
rest in the hands of the intelligent voters.
