Few persons understand why it is that the supreme and
Circuit Judges are to be voted for at the coming general cleo.
ton instead of on an "of" year as has heretofore been custo-
mary. One reason is that owing to the expense of an extra
election, which costs something like $500, 600. 90, it has fallen
into disfavor recently and another reason is that there is a
growing sentiment which does not consider our Judges a anv
more sacred than other officials and hence are not any more
entitled to protection from the '.fury" of a political campaion
than others who seek office.
An act of 1901 changed the time of supreme and circuit
judges election to the regular election time and in order to
do away with the extra year our Judge MCGEE will hold his
office until July 'O6 instead of to Jan. O6, and his successors
will also be heightened six months. The year '06 is the
year the law Jumps in order to bridge over the extra year
and bring the judges election to the general election time.

Ans.-The usual treatment for mea'
dows infested with moss is to give
them a top dressing Of lime, and 1t is
probable that this does some good, but
1t is sometimes not very effective. !
do not think that there is any good
method Of freeing land of such thick
growth Of moss as you describe, ex.
cept by blowing 1t up and giving 1t o
heavy dressing Of stable manure. The
presence of the moss indicates that
this treatment is necessary. II the
land requires drainage, the question
must be considered whether 1t Is
worth that extra expenditure. Where
a little moss occurs in field in

The use Of black pepper occasional'
ly in the mash, in small quantity, will
be rather beneficial than otherwise. II
must not be continued too long. Pre-.
pared poultry foods-in fact, all sti'
mulants to winter egg laying-are cal
culated to weaken the germs in spring
eggs, especially If the birds are close
ly confined. The best way to save
eggs for Matching is to have them laid
when the germs Of the eggs are
thought to be stronger; that is, when
the fowls have had run out after
their long term Of winter confinement
Where hens have had run during the
winter in barn, stable or shed, 1t is
possible that the germs OF the eggs
laid by them may be strong at an
earlier date. The eggs should be
placed with small end down and kept
in a cool, but not cold temperature
and they should be put into incubator
or under hens as soon after they are
laid as possible.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1904-03-24

Ans.-The hens require lime. This
may be given by placing a piece Of
lime in the drinking water and by
leaving bits of wall plaster about on
the floor OF the house. Finely crushed
egg shells and small quantities Of
lime added to the mash would also
help the condition. 1t is considered by
many poultry keepers that the grain
should be given in the morning and
the mash late in the afternoon. The
grain should be thrown among litter
Of cut straw so that the birds will get
vigorous exercise while procuring
their breakfast; this stimulates their
circulation for the day and leeps them
in nne trim for laying.
