The most important thing in poultry
raising is brains-the ability to deter
mine what to do. what breeds to raise,
and what to discard. Never are brains

more needed than in the selection OF
breeding stock. A cheap bird may be
a good breeder, but it is more likely
to be a poor one. Some high-priced
birds are good, and some are good Tor
nothing. So it takes brains to find out
the valuable bird under any circum'
stance. If man could rely on the
prices as indexes of value the ques-
ton of selection would be answered.
Unfortunately prices indicate little as
to quality. 1t therefore becomes nee
essary for a man to learn to judge
birds himself, If he is to be a sagaclous
buyer
In the selecting of breeding turkeys
nothing should be overlooked. The
item of weight Is one that should be
given consideration, but it is not by
any means the whole thing. 1t Is very
natural for big bird to make strong
impression on the buyer, out the big
ness" may be an offset to some bad
points. Do not be caught by it. Sym
metry and beauty are elements that
should not be forgotten, and sometimes
are quite as valuable as weight. Then,
too the weight of bird may be poor
ly distributed, being in non-edible form
such as shanks and fat. A bird weigh
ing several pounds less than another
may have more edible meat because
of its better form and characteristics.
At selecting a turkey for breeder
choose one that has a long, deep body
and full breast. This will indicate
good supply of lean meat in the places
where it will be the most valuable
that is, ON the breasts The thighs
should be stout, which means greater
proportion of meat on them. For the
same reason the legs should be as
short as it is possible to get them
Long shanks, whether in poultry or
swine or cattle or sheep, mean lack Oh
meat and increase of sinew.
1t should be remembered that the
points of the breeders are important,
because they are to be transmitted to
numerous offspring. The wise man
will pay a little more for heavily
feshed breasts in the breeders, know
ing he is to get heavily-feshed breasts
in hundreds of descendants. We are
certain that too little attention has
been paid to the qualities in the past.
1t is only by selection, and careful dis
elimination in selection, that we can
hope to eliminate the procliyity of the
turkey tc wander abroad.

The oleomargarIne people saw lear.

The oleomargarine people say leav-
ing the coloring out of oleomargarine
would kill their industry; people
wouldn't eat their product. Now. do
you think people would cease eating
butter if it were not colored? Then
why, if it would kill one not the other?
Because the color in one fools people
into thinking 1t is butter; they
wouldn't eat it If they didn't think SO.
They don't reject it because it has no
color, but because the absence of this
disguise reveals it's true character and
composition. That is the secret of
the fight being made against laws pre-
venting the coloring of oleomargarine.

Leaves are commonly made up OF
two principal parts. the framework,
consisting of tie leaf stalk, ribs and
veins, for strengthening the leaf and
supplying it with sap. and the green
pulp, which fills the meshes or inter-
stices. The whole is covered with a
thin skin or epidermis. The green
pulp consists of cells of various forms.
with many air-spaces between. The
cells are commonly placed very com
pactly together on the upper side of
the leaf and more loosely or with air
spaces on the lower side-hence the
reason that leaves are usually lighter
colored below.

Budaet of News Items From the
Belmont County Metropolis.
The Platform.

This is a local campaign and the
Democratic party is confined to local
issues. 1t commits the party to the
enactment and faithful execution of
such laws as will do Justice in taxation.
1t further pledges the candidates who
stand upon it to secure to the people
the right to vote upon the granting of
franchises to street railways and other
public service companies; to protect
the servants of the people from the
petty bribery of free passes and other
favors by making the acceptance of
them cause for vacating their offices;
to labor to secure the right to elect
United States Senators by popular
vote, and to an economical, safe and
progressive administration of the peo
pies business. Upon such platform
the Democratic party presents 10 the
voters Of Belmont county nominees of
high character and intelligence. If
you believe in these things you can
help to bring them to pass by support
ing that ticket. There are really no
party questions. They are questions of
honesty, fairness and justice. and the
people will answer them Alright. No
cause that is a true cause can lose.
This cause is true, and therefore will
prevail. Consider whether you believe
these things. and vote as you honestly
believe. This is the citizens highest
duty and greatest privilege.
