| Democratic National Convention in tile
| main.
The interest just now is chiefly in the
| selections of 1.-The big four" Politicians
| regard it as a higher honor to go as q
delegate at large than as simply a dele
gate from one Congressional district.
True one has just as much weight in
the voting but states generally send bet
ter known and more influential men as
delegates at large. They are usually
the wise men of convention and the
principal actors therein. They are more
likely to know what is really going on
for the leaders inpart to them a knowl-
edge OF the deals and schemes.
Probably half of the United States
Senate viii be in one or the other of
the national conventions. The proper
ton from the House will be much
smaller. There is always a big coterie
of Senators in every national conven-
ton. They are men who have risen to
prominence politically and among the
supporters of the different candidates
for the presidential nomination are also
many Senators. But the Senate now
comprises quite a number of aged men,
who have grown tired of going to con-
ventions and grooming candidates for
the presidency. It is a hard weeks
work, with all the stress and hurrah for
which national conventions are char
acterized. Therefore these older Sena-
tors are entirely content that some
younger men should go.
States have different notions about
honoring Senators and members of
Congress as delegates. Among some it
is regarded that the Senators and mem
bers have been sufficiently honored
with the Congressional offices and that
the extra honors should go to others
who have borne the heat and the bur-
den of the day. In other states Sena-
tors and members compete actively for
nomination as delegates, especially as
delegates at large.
Probably the average expenses of ev-
cry delegate to the national conven-
tons will be $50. 1t will take the best
part of a weeks time for each conven-
ton Thus it will be seen that hun
dreds of thousands of dollars will be
spent in defraying the expenses of the |
formalities that lead up to the selec-
ton of candidates. Never in all his |
tory was there anything approaching if |
in magnitude and far reaching impor-
lance.

Feeding Hens for Eggs.

A farmer attending an institute once
asked a poultry expert how be could
have bis pullets and hens lay during the
winter The reply was, make them
believe it is summer" He then went
on to explain that if one could go over
in bis mind what he had seen the hens
pick up on the range during the summer
and try to provide good substitutes,
there would be little trouble 10 obtain
ing winter eggs. Let US see how this
works out. First Of all the hens on the
range are well supplied with green food
and that they consume it in large guam
titles is proof that it is necessary to their
good health for egg production. Then
the next idea of the hen on the range
is to get ell the insects she can. 1t is
thus seen that green food and meat are
essentials in egg production and it is
safe to say that il these are supplied in
proper quantities with almost any grain
ration. not wholly corn, the egg results
will be decidedly pleasing. One of the
best foods is clover aud it will pay tC
buy it. Cabbages and root crops are
also good. The meat fed should b.
fresh and sweet or If this not obtainable
the prepared animal meal should be
bought. Try the plan Of reproducing
summer in the poultry menu and fnC
how well it works. indianapolis News
