KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT.

Nearly every paper in the country
Democrats this year sustained the
most crushing defeat in the history
of the party. 1t was bad enough in all
conscience sake, but not the worst.
The most crushing defeat the Dem
ocrats have sustained was in Novem-
Der, 1904, during the middle of Mr.
Cleveland's administration and the de-
feat this year was due in large part &c
Judge Parker's unwise praise OF
Cleveland's administration and the
fear that the same influences that con-
trolled Cleveland would have too much
weight with Judge Parker. In 1894,
though the Democrats had in 1890
and again in 1892 carried the House
by unprecedentedly large majorities,
the Republicans overturned these
majority of 1876. This year the Re-
publicans have a majority of only
108. In other words this year they
have gained seventy-eight members OF
the House over the previous election.
In 1894 they gained over one hundred
and fifty seats. The change, therefore
from the large Democratic majority in
1892 to the Republican majority in
1894 was much more marked than
the result this year. And that change
occurred under the leadership of Nj.
Cleveland, while he was in the White
House and the party leader, and be-
fore Mr.. Bryan had been thought OF
for the presidency.

If there is a good big window or

the hen house, an occasional dashing
down with water or a quick washing
once IN a while should not be over
looked. The brightness and warmth
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-04-01

should be kept, until at least three
weeks of age, in a uniform tempera-
ture of about so degrees, when feed
ing, and when being lowered at from
80 to 95 degrees, the natural tempera-
ture supplied by the body of the
broody hen under normal conditions.
Warmth is one of the greatest agen-
cies that produces the growth of the
chick, without which they will weaken
and die, in spite of all the nourishing
feed placed before them. Exercise by
scratching for their feed in litter, chaff
and the like is conducive to a good
circulation and muscular strength and
development.
Overcrowding of the young chicks
from the time they are Matched until
they begin to go on the roosts, is one
of the chief causes of such a high
mortality among them. This can oc-
cur with the broody hen, as well as
with the artificial brooder, but more
often occurs with the latter One
of the first things to do to prevent
over crowding is to not permit too
many together. One rule is to never
exceed SO and 80 is preferable. With
as many as so one needs to be very
watchful and so regulate the tempera-
ture of their sleeping quarters that
they will not be compelled to huddle
and pile up to keep warm. We find
that when they once form the habit
of piling up for warmth it is not easy
to break them of it, not even by
making the temperature right, so when
artificially Matched ample broOder
room must be provided, and fifteen
chicks is enough for any brooding hen,
especially early in the season.
Their quarters must be kept sweet
and clean, thoroughly aired daily, and
by the occasional use of disinfectants
and insecticides keep all kinds of dis
ease germs and vermin in allegiance.
They need pure fresh water before
them all the time, and balanced
ration, preferably to consist of small
seeds, beef scraps and the like. By
careful attention along these lines, the
mortality need not exceed from to
10 per cent.

Poultry interests
To Cure Egg-Eating Habit.
BY H. L. BLANCHARD.

(Mrs. M. o. Tibbits, Misslon.)
I think that l made discovery last
week, which will be of interest to all
poultry raisers. 1t is a cure for egg
eating fowls. Perhaps it is a we'll
known receipt, but as I never heard
of it, | am sure there are many others
to whom it will be news. l found
scarcity of eggs in one pen for several
days in succession, but did not guess
the cause, until that pen was acct
dentally left open and the twenty-five
hens became pretty well mixed among
several other pens. Then the trouble
began. Half the eggs were eaten in
the nests, and in despair of remedy
I threw the china nest-eggs on the
floor and watched developments. The
hens bounced upon them for an hour
or so, then gave up in disgust, and
now they will not look at a genuine
egg put before them, much less try to
break it.
If care is used that they lay no
soft-shelled eggs, hens are not likely
to learn egg eating, but few sort
shelled ones, that cannot help being
broken, will be certain to teach the
habit. AS I was saving eggs for the
incubator and was afraid of their be-
coming too hard Shelled for the CHICKS
to break, had decreased the amount
of shell-making material, and, as the
result showed, decreased it too much.
In summer, when they have free
range, never find it necessary to
supply lime, but when shut in their
houses it is necessity, unless there
is a large percentage of it in their
drinking water, as the grain fed to
them does not contain sufficient lime
for shells despite several authorities
to the contrary. Granulated oyster
or clam shells are the first choice,
next comes old plaster, (not any OF
the new patent kinds), and If none
of these are obtainable very small
quantity of lime, placed in their drink
ing water. Especially if this last is
done, care must be used that the shells
do not become too hard, in season
when they are required for sitting, or
the chicks might not be able to break
the shell.
