cam I my Brothers Keeper?"

EARLY last March, the time being
ripe for the appointmentsof forest rang
sers, r. F. Shields made application for
appointment, and having made a salts
factory showing, and there being no
other application on file from this
county, he received official endorsement,
and in the coursesof time was duly ap-
pointed. A short time after his appli-
cation had been approved, it occurred to
some others of our citizens that they
would like the appointment themselves,
and they accordingly sent in their ap
plications. The authorities, it appears,
found it wise to appoint at first but one
ranger for the Lewis and Clarke reserve
in this county and as a matter of course
Mr.. Shields secured the privilege of rid
ing t he range from the Little Badger to
tbs Teton, furnishing his own transpor-
tation and paying his Gown expenses,
receiving therefor the salary of sixty
dollars per month. And now the
Teton Chronicle and says that Mr..
Shields is an uncompromising democrat
and that he worked openly for the demo-
cratic ticket last election day. This
statement is not the truth, and if all
professed republicans had voted as Mr..
Shields did at the last Two elections,
since his permanent residence IN this
county, the republicans would have made
a much better showing. Mr.. Shields
belongs to the class of men who quietly
attendto their own business, and is not
the hypocrite that the Chronicle seems
to imply. While we are not prepared to
say that he has been a republican all his
life, we can truthfully say that he sup
ported the republican ticket, in 1898 and
again in 1900. Before that time he was
not a permanent resident of this county.
In this connection we remember a case
in 1894 when the first republican vote
ever cast by one Of III prominent citi-
zens was at an election which placed
himself in one Of the important Offices OF
the county, and that the republican
party has not yet repudiated him, but or
the other hand elected him to another
important Office last fall. There are a
good many republicans who have not
grown gray headed in the service of the
party which now claims them, aud there
are other republicans who, to say the
least, are rather difficult and have a nat
ural tendency to stir up strife in their
own camp. AS to ancient history, there
is enough of it to go around, and in nos
ing about to find something to bring up
about another person, it is well to be
careful and not stir up pages in ones
own history that have been generousl.
overlooked, but can never be blotted out.
Meanwhile Mr. Shields, who is acquaint-
ed with every foot of ground included in
his district, is honestly earning his sal
airy in the discharge of his duties and is
probably unawar that his appointment
does not please the Chronicle. The
latest news is that eight more rangers
are to be appointed for the Lewis and
Clarke reserve, to begin their duties
about July LIST, SO it is probable
that the Chronicles kick was rather
premature.

Every poultry journal in the land
keeps telling their readers day after
day and year after year to make the
fowls hunt and dig in straw for all
their grain food. Now, there is a splen-
did excuse for this rule. While all
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy. no work and idleness makes a
good hen a nonproducing loafer. What
fowls need is plenty of exercise When
given their liberty, they will wander
miles over the fields and hunt and dig
for bugs and seeds, and then they lay
the most eggs.
Now, if you will make them dig in n
foot Of straw for all their grain all
through the winter also throw some
large sized beef scraps among the
straw. they will dig and hunt all day
long and get the much needed exercise
which imparts the yigor and health
that promote the egg production and
vitality that gives us the greater
amount of fertile eggs. Make them
work for all they get; only feed mash
food. table scraps and green food in the
trouGhs. If you can have clover hay,
cut it fine and throw among the straw
for them to dig after.

When Hens Are Noting.

What do you feed your hens in the
melting season? While some think it
IS necessary TO give an extra amount Of
food of wheat and corn, they are mis-
taken. Hens fed at this season with
too much grain will make them too fat,
and fat hens as egg producers are a
failure. Keep your hens healthy by
giving them exercise and very little if
any grain for food.
The only attention which the melting
hens require at the hands of the owner
is constant supply of pure drinking
water and dry sleeping quarters. And
it is not wise to make the latter very
warm in the belief that the scanty COW
ering of the hens calls for close protec-
ton from the chilly air of the autumn
nights. Exposure to this air under a
dry roof will hasten the melting proc
ess. Leave the windows open till No
vember except in time of threatened
storm. Two weeks before this resume
grain feeding, and if the hens are the
right sort you will not be able to feed
them heavy enough to shut off the win
ter eggs.-Central Farmer.

PRESERVING EGGS.
The Lame and Salt Mixture and the
Water Glass Solution.

With view of testing the relative
value of lime and salt mixtures and
water glass as egg preservatives, we
picked about 20 dozen eggs in two lots.
The mixtures were:
No. Lime. fresh, 3la pounds; salt,
4A pounds; water, gallons.
No. 2.-One part water glass to IS
parts water.
These eggs remained in the solutions
for about six months. When examined,
the water glass was found to be the
best pickle, although the lime and salt
served its purpose very well; still the
whites Of the eggs preserved in this
mixture We're much more watery than
the whites of those preserved in the
water glass. These were difficult to dis
tinguish from fresh eggs, since the
white was quite firm and yolk stood up
upon it as though fresh. Another adj
vantage in the water glass is that it
does not seem to affect the shell Of the
egg as the lime mixture, eggs from the
lime and salt mixture being much more
liable to crack, either in cooking or
handling. We consider this matter Of
preserving eggs Of great Importance in
this state since prices are so high for
eggs in the winter season. We do not
for moment advise the selling of pre-.
served eggs for fresh laid, but we have

Under the auspices of the Associated
Poultry Fanciers of Germany and Aus
tria an imposing monument has been
erected at Gorlitz, Germany, to the
memory of Robert Oettel, who is
known as the father of poultry breed
ing in Germany and Austria. Oettel
was born in 1893 and died in 1884. He
devoted 80 years of his life to the I'M
provement of the breeds of poultry in
Germany and Austria and organized
societies of poultry fanclers with an ag-
gregate of more than 5000 members
He printed poultry journal and was
acknowledged all over Europe as the
foremost expert ON all poultry ques-
tions. BY his own efforts Oettel made
the town of Gorlitz the center of the
fine poultry breeding industry in Eu-
rope, and each year the members of his
associations sold more than 10000 eggs
for breeding purposes from blooded
stock.

Migratory wild Birds Eggs.

1t will surprise many people to know
that some Of the most important MI
gratory birds are now In process of
extinction because of mans cupidity,
not in killing them, but in destroying
their eggs and thus preventing their
existence. All Of them breed in the
arctic regions, where in summer there
is the greatest abundance Of insect and
fish life on which to support them
selves. Man has found these breeding
places, and so long as he can secure
fresh eggs he finds ready sale for them
at profitable prices from photograph
ers, who use the albumen for making
the films on which their pictures are
taken. 1t is true If there were not this
supply photographs might be dearer
than they now are, but If this use Of
their eggs means the extinction Of
many migratory species of birds such
use of them ought to be prohibited by
lava. V. Meersch.

URBAN POULTRY RAISING.
Difficulties That Beset the Fancier In
New York City.


Few of those interested in the exhibi-
ton of poultry and pigeons have any
idea of the number of fancy birds that
are Matched and raised right in New
York. Not all fanciers of fine pigeons
and poultry can find the time or money
to 90 into the country and start small
farm TO breed and raise their pets, and
so they make the best of their sur
roundings.
In the upper part of the city there are
some dozens of poultry yards where
prize winners at the show We're reared.
More than one fancier has converted
his back yard into a poultry farm,
where under the cover of wire netting
the birds do almost as we'll as if in the
country with ample room and breath
ing space.
