either be nominated or dark horse

Hawaii delegation would hit the nail
on the head by endorsing Hearst; in
the other case no harm could come OF

Maui thinks that the reason Hawaii
did not succeed in getting one of the
delegates to Chicago was that she did
rot stand in with Maui and Kauai. So?
The principal reason she failed, as we
understand the matter, is that she did
not extend quite enough of the glad
hand to the Fourth District.

SPRING CARE OF FOWLS.
Just at the close of long. cold
winter, such as we have been having,
it is of the utmost Importance that
the laying hens should be given spe.
cial care. They are exhausted by a
long course of confinement and con-
centrated feeds, and If they are not
carefully looked to there is danger
that serious difficulty will be encoun.
tered
There are two things that should be
borne in mind These are that we
must furnish the laying hen more
than enough feed to keep her to lay,
as she cannot manufacture eggs with.
out she has egg-material out of which
to make them. OF all the egg-mak-
ing foods green cut bone and cut
clover are the two that are most i'm.
portant. Green cut bone contains all
the elements that go to the production
OF eggs, and cut clover contains all
of them also. but in a more diluted or
bulky form.
A good many poukrymen make the
mistake of thinking they can omit
meat feed as soon as spring comes.
They also think it unnecessary to
feed any green stuff. Green stuff in
late winter is usually scarce and hard
to get. Cut clover is a perfect sub
stitute for green stun. so far as green
stuff alone is concerned, and has the
additional advantage of containing
large quantity Of lime and other ele-
ments that go to promoting egg-pro
duction.

HORSES IN SPRING.

Most farm horses are idle during
winter, and go into spring work with
soft muscles. At this time they need
more care than many owners will
give. Work pushes and the feeling
Is the team must pay for the winters

BILE. 1t is no fault of the horses that
they have been made soft by months
of inactivity, and they must be sea-
soned to hard work If the owner
would treat them fairly. A few days
hard work in the first warm spell OF
spring can cut flesh that heavy feed
ing throughout the summer Will not
replace. Moderation in work the hrst
few weeks Is repaid by a moderate
grain bill later on, and by more hard
work for the season taken as a whole.
Winterjng farm horses on cheap,
bulky ration may be all right for
part of the time, Ind we believe they
need rest from heavy grain feeding,
but the month previous to the open

Start the season with the collars
tight. Draw the names in snugly to

are responsible for many sore shout

be toughened before the work begins,
by bathing with any good wash.
Where white oak trees are conyen-
lent. cheap and good wash is made
by boiling the bark In water. The.
application should be continued for
few weeks after the beginning OF
hard work. The sweat on the shout
ders should be washed out every
night with plenty of cold water. SAT-
water is especially good.

CALIFORNIA LIONS KILL DEER
Method of Hunting Much Like That Of
Big Cats in Africa or India.

Method of Hunting Much Like That Of
Big Cats in Africa or India.
More deer are killed every year in
California by mountain lions than BY
the bullets of the hunters. Next tc
the jaguar, our mountain lion is the
largest cat in the two Americas. and
he is the champion deer slayer of the
world. Within thirty or forty miles
of Los Angeles ne catches the fleet
footed, graceful creatures, and wakes
fat on the sweet flesh. He knows nc
deer season other than all the time.
Whenever there is good deer coun
try in this or any other southwestern
state there also is the best place to
look for lions, and that is one of the
reasons why the large herds Of dneI
are restless, seldom staying long in
one locality. There is nothing they
fear more than the sight or smell Of a
mountain lion. Not even the sudden
appearance of hunter will so quick
ly drive them from a range of hills.
The lions method of hunting tie
deer Is not unlike that of the big
cats of Africa and India in the pursuit
of the antelope and deer of those coun-
tries. Having found spring or pool
where the desired game comes to wa.
ter at nightfall. the lion selects an
overhanging limb or ledge of rock,
whence one leap will carry him to the
bach or throat Of his prey, and thereon
lays himself out in perfect accord with
the limL itself. In the gathering dusk
the imperfect eye of the deer has lit
tie chance against this hidden terror,
an: the wind. usually his faithful ally
can. help him none. now. for the lion
is far and away too old campafgnei
not to lie up from the spring.
The deer comes; one leap from the
limb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and
powerful paws soon break the tender
neck; and don't you believe it when
any one tells you that California
lion can't carry away a deer. The
writer has followed the plain, broad
trail of the heavy pads for over halt
mile, and then come suddenly on the
place where the killer had stopped to
rest. There in plain outline was the
imprint of the deer's body; but fol
that whole distance the lion had car
ried it well up and clear of the ground
Such "portages" are not infrequent in
the career of a hunting lion as these
animals never eat their game where
they kill it. Sometimes they hunt in
pairs. but in six or eight years spent in
the hills the writer has seen but one
such hunting pair.
Like the rest of the cats the world
over, the mountain lions mainstay in
hunting is patience. He will wait for
hours on a narrow limb rather than
get out like coyote and scour the
slopes for his supper; with feet as
noiseless as an owls wing. he will fol.
low an unsuspecting rabbit or belated
spike buck until favorable opportu.
nifty for help presents, and then it is
generally "all day" for the hunted
But Of all things. the lion loves deer
meat, and while he will dare a great
many dangers for young pig, his lik-
ing for deer is even greater than that

cuRRANr CUTTINGS.

To inquiry of the best method OF
starting and managing currant cut
tings the following has been suggest
ed and tested and proved successful.
Several cuttings can be made from
one cane. Rub off all but two eyes
of the part which is to be in the
ground, and the soil should be well
prepared. Currant wood can be turn
ed into a plant the year it is grown,
by setting any time from August to
November. Make q square, clean cut,
have the ground mellow, that the
young rootlets may meet with no OBJ
structions, and then push the dirt
closely around the bottom of the cut
ting. The fall is decidedly the best
time to commence operations, De-
cause In so doing one gets two
years growth in one. If it is very
dry, some mulching will be required,
but generally at this season. the
ground is warmer than the atmos-
phere, and ninety-eight per cent.
should live. In starting for making
sales of roots, have the rows three
and a half feet apart, and the plant
eight inches in the row. The cur
rant is one of the small fruits. which
has been very much neglected. The
amount of sales is very large, far
more than people would imagine. and
there is an opportunity for an indef-
mite extension of this cultivation. 1t
should be understood, however, that
these directions do not apply to all
kinds of cuttings. For instance. this
plan for the cherry currants will not
answer. The currant has extraordin-
airy durability both regarding the life
of the wood, and the season in which
its fruit can be picked. Similar d.
rections apply to gooseberries. TWO
thirds should be thinned out annual
ly. These and currants should be
well MANFRED every year. Thus they
will never fail of having abundant
supplies. 1t is known that the bushes

In the midst of the spring time sum

Backward springs are not conducive
to the very best proportion of fertile
eggs.
The season Of poultry shows is over

men to put on their overalls and get
out among the growing young stock.

err. He has mated his stock according
to scientific rules, as any we'll inform.
ed fancier will do, and he must now
be poultry raiser in the true sense.
1t costs more money to get start
breeding thoroughbreds than it does
scrubs, but it pays SO much better in
the long run that there is really no
argument in favor of keeping mongrel
stock.
The diary and the poultry yard are
naturally mutually beneficial institu-
tions. The milk and the curd and the
cheese that are produced in the dairy
are all quite beneficial to the inmates
of the feathered harem, no matter In
what stage they may be found.
Chicks that show leg weakness are
seldom cured. 1t is a harsh remedy
for their distress, but death is sure
to come to them, and the sooner they
are put out of their misery the bet

GROWING PLUMs WITH PROFIT

There has been many failures in
plum growing, due in part to setting
the trees on soil not suited to them,
but. in the majority of cases, to the
selection of improper varieties. The
best way to ascertain what varieties
are best suited to a section is to find
out what successful growers in such
section are growing. and if the soil
is similar it will be wise to follow
their example. During a recent meet
ing of fruit growers one of the most
extensive growers of plums in the
East said that he had tested all the
promising varieties catalogued, even
obtaining varieties from Europe and
had finally dug out all his tree ~
cept the Refine Claude. He grows
plums for market. and the Refine
Claude suited consumers. Moreover.
it is a strong, healthy tree. not grow
ing very large but is very productive.
In general. this man advised against
the planting of 2lnms for other than
local markets. Those who are inter-
ested in plum growing would do well
to examine into the merits of the
RENE Claude if it is not among the
sorts they now grow. 1t is one OF the
good old sorts which has proved it's
value in many sections through long
years.-Indianapolis News.
