Mr.. Editor-My next advice on poul'
try is the management of laying
stock. In the spring and summer
hens need and will stand very heavy
feeding. Though it takes less OF the
food to keep them warm, 1t taxes
more for egg material. If fed no more
than in the winter, most hens soon
lay themselves poor. Many mems
which should have been good layers
for several years are spoiled in this
way Hens which have once gone
badly out of condition are almost al
was uncertain layers afterward. III
tie spring every hen that can vii!
Law. Fat hens lay themselves in good
condition, sick hens lay themselves
to death. The fact that a hen is lay
ing is not, therefore, sign that she
is in good health. There is no ad'
vantage in heavy egg yield IN the
snring. If the farmer raises his own
LAYING stock, it will pay him to set as
many of his hens as want to set IN
March and April. 1t will give them
a rest of about a month when eggs
are cheapest. Hens that lay heav-
ily should have the best of coin to
keep them in first-class condition.
When hot weather comes, hens that
have gone out of condition and hens
that are not bred for continuous lay
ing. are apt to quit. Nearly all the
hens will show an inclination to stop
laying, but good care and feeding Will
keep those that are in condition and
have the staying quality laying fairly
we'll all through the summer. The
/ hens must be kept cool. The houses
must be kept open wide enough to
be comfortably cool at night. Pro!
vide cool, shady loafing places in
which they can pass the latter part OF
the day They should exercise only
in the morning and late in the even
ing. Feed grain early in morning
and late in the evening, and a mash
at noon. About the middle of the al
ternoon feed them all of the green
grass and vegetables that they will
eat. On real hot days feel them green
stuff twice a day Just after thell
morning heal and just before their
evening meal give them all the cold
water they will drink and all the skim
med milk they will drink, and if you
will put about two tablespoonsful OF
EPSON salts in one-half gallon of cold
water about twice a week you vii
never be bothered with chicken
having the cholera. In real warm
weather the mash should contain but
very little cornmeal, and no corn a,
all.
BY ea,ly September pullets that you
are counting on for early winter lay
ers should be we'll grown, and unless
you have room to spare, all under
sized and poorly developed pullets
should be sold. Make every effort tC
have the laying stock in winter quar-
ters and not overcrowded befo.e the
first cold ranstorms and cold nights

Instead of being a gain it was the

ST. Louis, April 13.-President David
Il. Francis, of the worlds fair; stated
emphatically Saturday before the
Eastern Michigan Press association,
in session at the Administration build
ing, that he was not a candidate for
nomination as president of the Uni
ted States, and that, Furthermore, he
would not consider such a possibility
in connection with his duties as the
official head of the exposition.
The statement was unexpectedly
called forth by the motion of o. f..
Hawkins, of the Tecumseh Times, of
Michigan, that the visiting members
of the Eastern Michigan Press associ-
alton pledge to President Francis the
electoral vote of that state for the
nomination to the presidency of the
nation.
If n bombshell had been dropped
into the midst of the welcome being
extended by the exposition manage
ment to the visiting newspaper men
and their wives at the Administration
building it would not have produced
the surprising effect that succeeded
Hawkins speech.
President Francis recovered imme-
diately from his astonishment over
the sudden compliment and interrupt
ed any action that might have follow
ed the Hawkins proposition. 1t was
with a serious mien that he told of
his entire and exclusive interest in
the success of the great project he is
helping to launch, and he could not
consider political favors while this
was in hand.
