Sees Hope of Triumph.
HE STATES HISPLATFORM
In Speech Before Democratic
Club Of New York.
CAPRICIOUS AND IMPULSIVE.

A platform based upon the reas-
sertion of the declaration of indie
pendence, the restoration of the
Constitution, the curtailmsnt OF
executive usurpation of govern
mental functions, tearing down
of the tariff wall, an insistence upon
rigid honesty in public Office and
the limitation of taxation to the
actual needs of the Government, Is
the platform upon which former
Senator Charles A. Towne declares
the Democratic party can triumph
in the election of this year.
~ have no desire here or at this
time" said Mr.. Towne before the
Democratic Club in New York on
Wednesday night, "to speak in
abuse of any man. These are
solemn and serious days. We are
approaching a critical period. 1t
is not time for throwing epithets.
But / doubt, if a man desired to
use epethets, whether he could find
enough to fit the emergency that
would confront him were he 10 try
to do justice to the personality
which now occupies the exalted
Office of the presidency. Never
was there a spirit more cspricioGs,
mind more uudeliberate, so salts
fed with the wisdom of its momen
tary impulses, so unpredictablO in
it's line of activity, There is No
citizen, Republican of any smiAsAcS
or none who can tell what will bs
on the presidential bulletin boards
tomorrow morning.
cit is my sober prediction that
if Theodore Roosevelt gets another
lease OF power, not as an accidental
accession, but as a result OF the
deliberately expressed preferences
of his fellow citizens, he will trans.
late it into authority to indulge in
impulses which will bring us into
disasters no man may forsee; his
present actions will be no index tC
the errancies of which he will then
be capable. Ia the face of this
very real peril, with the strong
hand of Hanna removed frome the
Presidents shoulder, how is tn,
country to be saved except by
flight to the old Democracy, tn,
bedrock on which the conservation
of the nation is based, standing GU
in the dark valley of Rooseveltiar
confusioni",

Notes.

All garden and field seeds shuold
be given a thorough test before
planting, and now is good time
to do il.
Rhubarb 10 now making growth,
and should be protected by covering
it with a few inches of strawy lit
ter or manure. This covering
serves as protector, and also
forces earlier growth.
il is an easy matter to locate
trees in every orchard which are
ZOE bearers. Whsn found, remedy
this condition by giving the trees
a close top-pruning, and a good
root pruning.
Breaking up ground too close to
black locust trees will cause them
to sprout up freely from their
roots. This is very bothersomc
thereafter, in cultivated ground
Stay away a safe distance, which
is perhaps 25 feet.

found the smith deity fitting q

II did as directed, and in a short
time the blacksmith came in, took
off his leather apron, washed his
hands and announced that be was
ready to shave me. l was consid-
erably surprised and felt some trep-

have a quicker, heater, smoother

POULTRY NOTES.

Try WITHOUT ocNoblnB SONe
and atteation to them, will gener-
ally make q failure.
When you can enter the hen
house after the fowls have gone to
roost and hear no wheeEing II
proves there Is no roupY ones in the
flock.
Never allow food to lie around
before hens that you wish to lay.
Such a condition shows - once that
they are fed too hesvs lJr best re-
suits. Fo- growing chicks it's not
so bad, but even they will do better
If they hustle for part Of their
food.
More or less range for breeding
stock is essential 10 obtain good
fertile eggs and strong chickens.
Pure water, dry shelter, animal
food and absolute freedom from
filth are all needed 70 promote good
health and prosperity in the poul-
try yard.
All that is necessary to convince
the enquirer Of the superior value
of thoroughbreds is to point to the
increased weight, uniform appear
ance and egg producing qualities.
Not only is this true of chickens,
but also of ducks, turkeys and
geese. Geese are larger than in
former years and more productive.
Provision should be made toward
saving all the droppings, as they
are worth about one-third as much
per ton as the average commercial
fertilizer. One Of the best methods
Of handling them is to make tight
shelf or scaffold under the roosts,
and about twice a week sprinkle
the droppings with common field
plaster which will change the am
monia in them into sulphate Of am
monis which is the best possible
form Of this valuable fertiliIing
element. Clean these platforms
about once every two weeks,
Geese grow to great age. The
females are profitable up to ten or
twelve years and the males up to
six or seven years. 1t is not profit
able to raise geese in confinement +;
must have a pasture, where from
early spring they can live almost
exclusively on green rye, clover or
grass. They will need little grain,
and under these conditions will
thrive. Do not feed too much corn
in winter, as it is apt to get them
too fat as breeders. Oats and bar.
ley are better. When in proper
condition, young geese will lay from
eighteen to twentY-four eggs the
first season, and old geese from
thirty-six to forty in a season.
Male birds must now be gotten
out Of the way by breeders who are
mating their focks, and they cal
be had at very reasonable prices
some breeders advertise purs-brsc
males from two dollars up, price
which removes all excuses for keep
ing scrub males. AS one male may
be mated with from ten to iftSsI
hens or pullets, the gain in the i'm
provement of the flock for mex
year cannot be estimated very east
| ly, but it is safe to claim that tn,
male will return his cost a hundred
fold in the increased value Of tn,

a few months ago Mr.. Heinz dlscop-

near Creede. The animal had fallen
somehow from the cliffs above and
injured its nose. Mr.. Heinz became
moved with sympathy and took the
animal home to raise as a pet.
Time passed and the goat maturod
TO a size which enabled 1t to butt
into the public eye with considerable
ease. In the course OF time the
Worlds Fair board learned Of It's ey-
istence and made known its desire
to send the goat to the exposition. To
this Mr.. Heinz acquiesced. little
dreaming of the trouble that was to
follow.
The goat was shipped to Denver to
be turned over to the Worlds Fair
board. When II arrived here one Of
the ubiquitous wardens of the game

seized Mr.. Goat. The animal was after

fiscal year lS05-iS05. and upon which
the appropriations made at the con-
Ing session OF Congress will be based.
Indicate that the delivery in operation
at the end OF next June will cost about
S2O.00O.000 a year to maintain, II Is
stated that in order that the service
may be extended in conformity with
the present plans of the department
and what are believed to be the
wishes OF both houses OF Congress. an
additional sum OF s6.0O0.o00 will 'bs

trouble. and two troops of cavalry had
been sent after them and were en-
