The Many sided Poultry Man.

The successful poultryman must be
many-sided. Poultry raising Is a com
plicated business and requires a good
deal OF knowledge OF a good many
things. This knowledge Is not ac-
CURED in a day. Poultry diseases must
be known 20 very considerable ex-
tent, and this requires thought and
study. The knowledge OF the diseases
must be supplemented by the knowl-
edge OF the best conditions TO prevent
them. The poultryman must be IA
miliar with the chemical constituents
OF feeds and understand the balancing
OF rations. lie must be able 10 dis
tingulsh the different breeds and
should know something OF the stan
dards OF perfection. His knowledge Of
all the experiments with poultry
should be complete. No poultry book
OF value should be outside OF his IL
brary To possess himself OF the
knowledge obtalnable by reading he
must devote n good deal OF time TO
this branch OF his activity. Then he
must be familiar with the markets
and with the methods OF men that buy
fowls and eggs. Moreover he must
have a large stock OF information as
to how TO run an incubator. This Is
hard thing 20 procure. as II requires
much loss OF time and material finding
out what things are necessary to be
done to insure success To these
things must be added attention 90 in
Vulnerable details. Because the poul-
tryman must be many-sided. many
that attempt TO be poultrymen fail.
The man that goes into the poultry
business should do 40 with his eyes
open. lie must expect TO have TO
learn. and TO learn one thin= al time.

AN INDEPENDENTC CANDID1TE.

l F. R. Bosworth of Indiana wants to
 save his country by going to congress and he either can't get nomination | from one of the big and old parties. or he doesn't want one. So he announces | himself as an independent candidate,
 and that he is independent he makes
 clear by his platform. He is anti Trust. When we stop to think, he says we find that every necessity of
 man, woman, and child is in Trust to satisfy the greed and avarice of a
 band of tax-dodging pirates that de-
 mand the protection of standing
 army, and that are notoriously blibing
 and corrupting the law-making power
 of our beloved country. The Beef
 Trust, which has made untold millions
 and dictates the price of meat for all
 our people, has got the power to have an investigation stopped and referred to a committee, where it will never be heard from. It has the power to s- lence the voice of the United States Senate, which is the American House of Lords It has made President Roose- welt look small in the eyes of organ ized labor. The meat and 121 other Trusts and monopolies absolutely own the United States government at this hour. I ask every true union man and Republican who reveres the name of Abraham Lincoln to think for them selves. I ask them to investigate the Ship Subsidy Bill, which is the most gigantic steal O: the century. for the benefit of a coterie o: Senators.
 It is not probable that Brother Bos- worth will appear in the next con gress but he can have some excite~ ment this fall. The western people like to hear an independent candidate talk even if they don't like to vote for him.
