A FINAL WORD.

The Gazette will not appea
again until after the election, it
next regular publication day be
ing June 7. Therefore, the dis
cussion carried on during the cam
paign through the columns of the
local papers, closes with this
issue of the Gazette. 1t is only
fair to the opposition to presume
that it has presented its argumen,
and will not take advantage ot
the fact that it appears last, to
publish matter that admits of NO
opportunity for reply.
The present campaign has been
sufficiently long to admit of full
discussion of every subject even
remotely touching the candidates
or the issues involved. Voters
would be justified in holding as
false anything that might be pub
lished from now on by the oppo-
sition, that has not already ap-
peared.
This department i'll the Gazette
has been published by the Repub-
lican Central Committee of Ben
ton county. All who have read
these columns know that the can
didates whose names appear on
the Democratic ticket, have re-
ceived fair and courteous treat
ment.
The little coterie of self-consti-
tuted bosses of the Democratic
party in this county, who are re-
sponsible for the abuse hurled at
the Republican candidates in
every campaign. have been given
attention herein. In acquainting
the public more fully with the
political methods of these bosses
we feel that a service has been
done Democrats and Republicans
alike. In fact, leading candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket
have stated their appreciation OF
the fact that the bosses and not
themselves, have been called to
account.
The worthy Democratic candi-
date would rather run on his
own merits, than slip in on the
alleged dement's of his opponent.
The bosses admit the weakness of
the Democratic candidate, when
they utter falsehoods in his sup
port and abuse his Republican
opponent. -
Every statement made in this
department still stands unrefuted.
Every false assertion made byl
the Times has been squarely met,
and that paper has shifted from
position to position, ABANDONING
every argument and taking diff
ferent stand in each succeeding
issue.
With this final word we ask
Republicans to stand shoulder to
shoulder and elect the entireI
ticket named in their recent par
ty convention.

Stunted Pics.

Sometimes these are caused by an
inherited disability to make use of
the food given them. but probably
more often by conditions after birth.
If they are watched it will be found
that the other pigs are driving them
from the teats and later from the
trough. says Farmers Review. Having
once become weakened they are less
able than the other pigs TO fight for
their food and have to be satisfied
with short rations. II is evidently
part of the plan of nature to eliminate
the weakling as a breeder. However,
these same pigs, If given a chance at
the teats and the trough. often devel.
op into good sized hogs and prove
profitable. We would not. however,
advise using such an animal as a
breeder. The hint that nature has
given us should be taken. We agree
with her in wanting for breeders only
the most vigorous.

Free Rance or Yards.

We are often asked if it Is better
to keep tho laying hens in yards or
give them the run of the farm; and
we confess that the question puzzles
Us, since there are so many things that
lead to success, all closely associated
with the methods of handling hens.
There Is no doubt that hens that run
at large are healthier than those that
are confined, and they require less
care: but we do not think they will
lay as many eggs. and for this reason
they cannot be as profitable.
OF course, 1t costs mere to feed
hens that are yarded, but we can soon
learn Just what they need, so that
there is no waste, and they may be
made to produce eggs at profit, while
those that roam over the fields seldom
lay; and though they cost us but lit.
tie, they bring us no returns.
We think 1t better to devote a lit.
tie time to the hens and get a profit
from them, rather than have them
roam the fields and give no profit.

Agricultural Notes.

Our pretty yellow marsh marigold,
sometimes incorrectly called cowslip,
Caltha palustria botanically, grows
aburdantly in Italy in the Pontine
marshes, and is called "the bride of
the sea.
The vigorous strawberry plants are
the ones that will produce the largest
berries in the spring. The best mulch
for strawberries is fine, well-rotted
manure. 1t not only serves to protect
the vines, but supplies the ready food
early in the spring.
a good plant for house decoration is
the auricaria or Norfolk pine, an ever
green-loolIing plant that some florists
sometimes speak of as Christmas

as odd. The centre of the flower is
filled with little expanded flowers
whose corollas match the color of the

of all, however, is the big, globular
incurved chrysanthemum, which looks
like a bis ball of petals. Many of the

While is 1t undoubtedly true that
oats are the standard grain food for
horses and will probably continue to
be so thrcIgh all time, yet there is a

Location Of House.

Many of the failures with poultry
may be traced to the location of the
house, the surroundings being wholly
unfit for the purpose. No low, fat,
clay soil will ever be suited for poul
try, and try as we MAJ we can never
succeed If our fowls are compelled TO
occupy such yards.
The location should be high and
rolling, with a southern or eastern
exposure, a woodland or orchard he.
ing the very best OF all.
The house should be built just be.
low the highest point. and be protect
cd as much rs possible by shrubbery
or wind brakes of some kind, so that
during the dreary days of winter the
bleak north wind will not play hide
and seek with the fowls.
The houses, yards and general con-
tft.ons should be made as near like
summer as it is possible to be made,
and If the hens be of the right kind
they should lazy and be profitable.
We can never expect hens that
scratch in snowdrifts or roost in cold,
damp houses, TO lay, and If they do
not lay in winter they will never pay
for their keeping.

Bullets.

Gtdiolus bulbs are produced true
TO name or color by the pulblets grow
ing about the base of the old bulb.
These bulblets may be wintered in any
cool place away from the frost, keep
ing them dry, in the same manner as
the parent bulbs. Early in the spring,
prepare a good bed in any out-of-othe
way place in the garden, make rows
four or five inches apart and SOW the
bulblets thickly so they will almost
touch each other. and cover them
about an inch and half deep; before
planting them, every bulblet should
have the tough, black peel pulled OFF
Of them, or they will make very ire
gular, and but little growth the first
season. 1t is claimed that peeled bulb
let's grow as much in o-ie year as un-
peeled ones do in two years, and that
nearly every one of them grows, ii
peeled, which is not the case with
the unpeeled ones. Keep the bed free
from weeds and water well in dry
weather; If in rich soil, nearly all Of
them will bloom the second season.

writes: "The situation has been bad

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.
Drains and Good Department Win.
ming Combination.

ning Compindtion.
The value of brains in business
cannot be overestimated, of course.
But neither can the value of manners.
Don't make the error OF supposing
that brains are everything. You may
have the best set of brains in tho
town, but IL you haven't the manners
of gentleman nobody is going to
appreciate you. Your manner is the
outward indication of what you are
within, in the estimate CT most peo-
pie, and If the manner is disagreeable
few will take the trouble to examine
into you any further.
The consensus of general opinion is
that the man who goes about with
porcupine quills as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about.
Did you never notice that the men
who employ large forces of intelli-
gent people look at an applicant
closely, ask a few seemingly unim-
portant questions and promptly en-
ploy or dismiss him? They don't
sound his brain depth; they don't OBJ
tain his biography; they don't in
quire into his social standing; they
size him up from his manners, and If
he is brass on the surface they don't
look for gold within.
The employer knows that II an ap-
plicant's manner strikes him favor
ably 1t will also favorably strike peo-
pie with whom he comes in contact
in his work. And nobody knows bet
ter than big business man that a
favorable first impression means half
the safe. People are apt to think
that If there is any place where man
ners are of little consequence. it is
in business. where cold calculation so
largely takes the place of feeling.
But the truth is that nowhere else are
manners of such importance as in
every day dealings. There is no capi-
tai and equipment any young man can
have that will pay him better than
good manners. There is no possible
calling for which this does not better
fit him. If he has brains, the world
owes him something, but unless ne has
good manners he will have a hard
time collecting it.-Kansas City

The Future of snuItry.

That the poultry industry of the
country is yet in its infancy is clearly
shown in the constantly-increasin de-
mand Of both eggs and dressed fowls.
The general trend or the markets
for the past two years has shown a
shortage of supply. and a consequent
advance In price, until today the pro-
ducts of the poultry yard are at high
tide. with no prospects of any early
change.
More poultry has been raised this
season than ever before, and yet the
people want more, and the demand
will continue to grow.
The wise poultry man will, as the
saying goes. get in on the ground
floor and be prepared to furnish his
part Of the supplies which the markets
are sure to demand.
