Bolt Was Pre1neditated.

It was apparent from the care and
the formality with which the evidence
had been gathered by the Dunn
forces in the contests before the COM
mittee on credentials, that it was
their purpose to retire from the con-
vention If they could not control it,
and it has been reported by some of
credentials that Mr.. Peterson stated,
before he presented his evidence to.
the committee, that II their contests
were not allowed, and the Collins del
egates unseated, they would bolt the
convention. 1t is further reported
that matters had been so fully pre-
arranged that, after the Dunn people
perfected their organization, trans
acted their business as a rump con-

ROOT CROPS FOR COWS.

While there is no question about the
value of root crops for cows it must
not he considered that they may con-
stitute any considerable portion of the
ration. That is, because rot crops are
fed several times weekly there ought
not TO be any material cutting down
of the grain or roughage ration. The
root crop will assist the milk flow, but
their main value is for regulating the
bowels and furnishing that variety in
the ration which is needed TO keep up
the appetite.
In feeding carrots, mangles and like
roots 1t Is an excellent plan TO feed
them by themselves one time and then
when they are given again cut them
into pieces of proper size, not so small
that the animal is likely to choke, and
sprinkle them with n little bran In
which trGe Of oil meal has been
mixed. This adds spice, as it were TO
the ration which the cows will ap.
preciate.-Indianapo News.

TO MAKE HENS LAY.

A great deal of trouble is found to
get good results in the egg industry.
If one would have hens lay well in
cold weather, warm breakfast should
be given them in the morning as soon
rs the fowls come from the roost
Mix boiled vegetables with corn meal,
oat meal, bran or shorts. Give as
much variety as possible; season all
soft food with salt and pepper. At
noon scatter few hlndfuls of buck
wheaton wheat-in the place where
they exercise. At night give them
plenty of meat or scraps-somethins to
take the place of the bugs they get in
the summer. Liver is Il good thing to
give them, cut into fine pieces. Fowls
need drink in cold weather, and, when
water or milk cannot be kept by Them
clean water chould be supplied twice
day. Raw or crushed bones three
times day will go far in inducing
them TO lay well. Supply them with
gravel or crushed oyster shell. If
careful attention in this way is given
to your fowls, the egg basket will
be kept we'll filled during winter
months.-Louise Wood, in The Epito-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

CUTTING COMBS OF POULTRY.
In many poultry papers the advice is
being given to cut the combs of such
breeds rs Lcghorns 10 prevent them
from freezing. 1t seems TO the writer,
who confesses that lie was weak en-
ough TO try this plan, that the "cure
was worse than the disease" 1t Is
true. our fowls had no trouble with
frozen combs after they were cut. but
for many weeks the birds were
dumpy and failed TO lay; besides, we
lost three valuable hens by the prac-
tice. The conclusion was reached that
II we could not afford TO build our
houses that we could keep the combs
from freezing, we would give up Leg
horns and breed fowls with small
combs. 1t is quite possible TO keep the
combs from freezing, even in the cold
est climates, with some trouble, of
course, but If the birds are not worth
this trouble, they are not worth keep
ing.

bird. composed mostly Of meat and

having hoarse voice caused by get

and they are set so far back on his

Keeping an account of the milk

times day the first few days after

says fat bacon boiled with onions gives

Is not desirable to attempt to give

Of the difficulty, and the safest remedy
Is TO diet the animal. A warm mash
