GRADING un tha Flock.

There are several ways by which Q
farm flock can be kept up to . very
good standard Of excellence for prac.
tical purposes. by just . little effort
Of the keeper, said J. H. Robinson in
an address before the Aassachusetts
State Board of Agriculture. Thus.
where it is the practice to take the
eggs used for Matching from the gen.
eral flock II. besides reserving his
best pullets. the keeper weeds out all
the decidedly inferior ones, and uses
only well developed males. any one Of
which would be considered . desira-
BILE breeder. the stock cannot 60 hack
very rapidly. even though. ~ We have
seen there might not be enough Of the
product in any year from the best
birds to strongly impress their quality
on the flock.
It is such selection as this, accom-.
panied BY selection OF the largest
eggs for Matching. that II practical on
most farms where some special atten.
ton is given the matter Of making
poultry profitable. It II doubtful
whether any marked progress Was
ever made BY such methods, but they
are q long way In advance Of leaving
It all to nature. At best, these meth.
DDS are crude: their use under the
condition described is Illogical.
The logic Of such . situation 70
quires that . poultry keeper who real.
ICES the importance Of reserving his
best fowls to breed from, should make
sure that 1t is only the eggs Of his best
hens. fertilized BY his best males. that
are used for incubation. The logic
Of the situation requires that . poul.
try keeper who thinks It worth while
to select the best eggs for incubation
should. sooner or later, come to con-
slider It necessary to know that these
eggs were from hens possessing the
other qualities priced. and fertdlised
BY males most suitable for mating
with these particular hens. Selection
Is not complete II It stops short Of
the separation Of the fowl selected

q thing which doeO not often happen.
With q big Aock Of fowls II is no
small matter to keep up the supply
of grit. Where natural grit cannot
be easily obtained commercial grit
should be purchased. We are satisfied
that on some Of our farms In the prai.
rie states the securing Of grit by the
fowls is so dimcult that they are un-
able to obtain the quantity required.
This is especially true on . soil that

Roots Versus silaae.


In Europe the use Of roots In stock
feeding is quite universal especially
in those countries that are too far
north to permit of the extensive
growing of Indian corn. But In the
United States root raising for cattle
has never been very popular. for the
obvious reason that 1t Is very much
easier to grow corn than roots. We
have talked this matter over with
stockmen in the West and their ver.
dict is uniformly that roots cost too
much, except when grown and fed in
q small way, in which their use -
justified as q laxative rather than
a food. Careful experimenters have
shown that roots cost about three
times IS much as corn to grow, has
ing the comparison on the dry matter.
Corn in the form Of silage IL one Of
the best and cheapest foods for stock.
It has been regarded as . dairy food
par excellence and as . milk maker.
But It is equally good for beef MAX.
ing, and some Of our leading cattle
raisers are now building silos to en-
able them to make the best use Of the

makes action necessary. and II the in

HAS NOTHING TO SAY
JUDGE ALTON BRooHs PARKER
70 4 SILENT MAN."
Nevertheless He Il Quite q Factor in
the Race for the Democratic
Nonination-His Judi
cial Career.

Washington ID. CO. Special.
Judge Alton Brooks Parker, of New
York. is one Of the most talked of but
least known one Of the democratic presi-
DENTAL candidates.
His chief claim to place in the class
OF eligibles is the fact that he is the
only democrat who, in the last dozen
years. has carried New York.
In 1895 President Mckinley had a
plurality Of 1854 in the state. In 1897
Parker, heading the democratic ticket
rs candidate for judge of the court of
appeals, which is the highest court in
the state. carried New York by 60 1889.
This change of over 100000 votes in
favor Of the democrats naturally at
tracted national attention. 1t is the
basis Of the Parker presidential boom.
which was placed under way two years
ago.
Opponents Of the Judge claim that he
has received undue credit for that vic
tory of 1897. They say that the total
vote cast was, with one exception, the
smallest in 20 years.
They aver that he was elected only
because the name of his republican OPP
ponent, Judge Wallace, was not placed
on the Citizens union ticket in New
York city.
There was a mayoralty fight on in
the metropolis in the fall Of ~. Low
was nominated by the Citizens union.
The membership Of the organization
was composed mainly of republicans.
They were incensed at Senator Plat
because. instead Of indorsing Low, he
had caused the nomination of Gen.
Tracy for mayor.

and to confine the fight to the mayoral-
ty the Citizens union refrained from

A Jap's Different Names.

but the Japanese boy must think a lit
tie to make sure, for at various peri
DDS in his life he is called by different
names. He receives his first when he
is lust month old. Then three differ
ent names are written on three slips
of paper and thrown into the air in the
temple while prayers are addressed to
the family diety. That which falls
first to the ground bears the name the
child is called till he is three years old.
At Is the japanese boy receives a new
name in honor or his coming Of age.
His name is changed again on the oc-
casion of his marriage and on any ad-
vance in his position.

and freed from foreign and outside
pressure, will shortly make an end of
the conditions of anarchy which now
exist in the island. There is no attempt
to disguise the good effect which
Morales made upon the members of the
American party which made the visit
to Santo Domingo. This is also true of
The men with whom he has surrounded
himself. The governor of Puerto Plata
province is q particularly strong man
and has model provincial government,
He is also q man of military attain
ments.
From naval standpoint, the PROPOSE
ton resolved itself into three possible
measures: (D TO station small gun
boats or converted yachts in each Of
the principal ports; (2) to station ma
rines in the larger inland towns, and
(3) for the United States to assume
charge of the custom houses, which are
the curse of the country, being the
means of CARRYING on the revolutions.
No one connected with the admins
tration thinks for minute of annexa-
ton. Senior Sanchez. personal repre-
sentative of President Morales, has
made inquiries since the return of Mr..
Loomis and the naval officials, and has
been told that there is no possibility of
this country annexing the island. In
stead. we will only take such measures
as may be deemed necessary in the
preservation Of our rights and in carry
ing out the responsibilities which come
to us in the maintenance of the Monroe

placing Wallace's name on its ticket
Now it is claimed that il Wallace had
been on the city's ballot he would have
been elected over Parker.
After the election Parker was pro-
posed by his friends for the presidency.
There was quick Response from the
south. Democrats down that way
seemed to feel that New York was the
key to the situation, and that with
Parker to lead they could carry the state.
His name has since been taken up in
other sections.
The wisdom of saying nothing abides
with Judge Parker. Taking refuge in
the fact that he is on the bench he has
kept aloof from all discussions Of his
candidacy. He has refused to be inter
viewed because he is on the bench, and
he has refused to make speeches or
travel because he is on the bench.
A silent man is always wise one, and
so the judges boom grows.
Judge Parker is devoted to the law
and scientific farming. He has a place
Of several hundred acres at Esopus, on
the west bank of the Hudson, near
Kingston, N. Y. His home is colonial
mansion situated on hill and overlooks
the Hudson valley.
When court is not in session at Al
bany the judge spends all his time at
the farm. 1t is managed under his per-
sonal supervision.
According to a Chicago Journal cor
respondent he is constantly engaged in
the effort to devise improved methods
for coaxing greater harvests from the
soil. He takes pride in the fact that he
secures larger crops than his neighbors.
Days on the farm are followed by
nights in his library. He is fond Of his
books and has a collection that rivals
the great library of Samuel ]. Tilden.
Mrs. Parker is a member Of the
Schoonmaker family, which figures
among the early Dutch settlers Of the
Hudson valley. They have one child, a
daughter, who is the wife of minister
at Kingston.
Judge. Parker served as surrogate or
probate judge Of Ulster county from
1877 to 1885. He was delegate to the
national democratic convention in 1884.
In the next year he was chairman of the
democratic state committee and man
aged the campaign that made Hill gov
ernor.
Cleveland offered him the place Of
first assistant postmaster general, but
he declined. He was elected Judge Of
the supreme court in 1885, and held
various judicial positions until 1897,
when he won his present place in the
court Of appeals.
