Hustling for Winter Feed.

at from 81 to So per ton for winter

reporter for the Statesman yester-
day.
The fact that the winter range is In
bad shape, owing to an unprecedented
drouth In this part OF the state. and
the consequent fact that sheep Will
necessarily be brought in for the win
ter feeding from the range earlier this
year than usual. are the reasons as
signed in explanation OF the haste OF
the sheepmen to lay in a supply OF
hay before the price advances.

TO GOVERN EGG SUPPLY.
California Professor Offers Novel and
Practical Means.

AS the result of series of experi-
ments just completed by Prof. NJ. +.
Jaffa, the food expert at the University
OF California, It Is almost certain that
the egg market will soon undergo an
upheaval and that the high prices now
being paid for eggs will be reduced
to normal proportions.
By regulating the periods of moult-
ing among the fowls, Jaffa has brought
about more uniform production OF
eggs throughout the year, instead of
having a superfluity in certain months
and Il scarcity in others as the condi-
tons are at present.
A statement of the experiments and
their outcome was made last night at
Petaluma before the Poultry Produc-
ers association of that place. The In
vestigations have been carried on at
the University experiment station at
Petaluma and at the home OF Profess
sor Jaffa during the past six months.
The process by which the results
were arrived at is a simple one. 1t is
we'll known fact that when hens
moult no eggs are laid. The moultinB
period occupies three months from
October through December and during
that time the prices of eggs soar sky
ward.
Professor Jaffa figured out that II
he could shorten the time of moulung
or carry It over to some other time of
the year he could find the remedy for
an equal division of eggs. If the latter
scheme were carried out, the scientific
producer would have a supply of eggs
between October and January, while
the regular raiser would continue un-
der present conditions. thus causing
uniformity in the supply.
The following in brief Is Professor
Jaffa's plan of regulating the moult'
ing. A hen laying regularly has hel
nitrogenous food supply reduced s,
per cent Nitrogen being the import
ant factor in the egg, the hen thd'
dieted stops laying. This having beer
ACCOMPLISHED the hen having nothing
| to do directs her attention to the mex
important thing in her hfe-namely
moulting. In the experiments thu
far conducted, 1t has been found tina
the fowls follow this course invaria
bly,. The reduction in the food sup
ply does not impair their vigor bu
the quantity of eggs produced durinI
what is the regular season for moult
ing, is smaller than usuai.
The artificial moulting is gon
through much quicker than the ordi
nary process. The hen thus treated
at present. only lays about as man
eggs in the long run as the usual her
hut Professor Jaffa expects to over
come this difficulty shortly. Anothe
difficulty was encountered In the eN
periments. 1t was found that fe'
of the hens had been caused to mou

: regular season. Professor Jafra as

Leader.
My Dear Mr.. Berge: scarcely know what
want to say or how ought to say it. When
first saw the announcement that you would
issue new paper the latter part of this month to
be called the Tribune" I rejoiced at it, but
when / learned, more recently, that you had
bought The Independent I was more than ever
pleased. While there would have been room,
and plenty of work, for another reform paper,
but issuing from the same center, and running
on similar but perhaps not on parallel lines there
would also have been room for some friction,
which might have embarrassed your efforts and
retarded the work of placing your paper on
sure basis. But now the way seems to me
clear, and the success of your undertaking doubly
assured. The Independent is an old paper and
under the splendid business management of Col.
Eager and the very able editorial pen of Mr..
Tibbles, it has prospered as no other populist
paper in the country has prospered. In fact The
Independent is one of the few survivors that
chronicled the birth of the populst party, or that

need not be surprised at their timidity. For SO
long as they see on one side the voters confding,
Indifferent and inactive, and the other side the
corporation forces completely organized and al
ways active and alert in support of those who
favor their measures and are ready to contribute
literally to their campaign funds, we may expect
the ordinary politician under the law of self pres
ervation to follow the line of least resistance.
The fault is chiefly with the voters and the
remedy is easy of application. Let them stand
together in support of the public officers who are
true to their interests, and stand together to de-
feat those who are servile to corporation inter-
ests, regardless Of whether they are republicans
or whether they democrats
There is no set of men completely respOn-
sive to an aroused public sentiment as those who
have seats in our national congress- and the
house OF representatives afforded a conspicuous
illustration of this during its last session.
So long as public sentiment permits public
officers to accept tips from corporation managers,
we need not expect much progress to be made in
the correction of greater abuses. The railroad
pass or frank of the express telegraph COM
pany and kindred brides the first steps to
boodling and debauchery Of the public service.
The acceptance of these by public officer should
dsqualify him from holding the Office.
If the voters will turn deaf ear to the advice
OF the artful schemers who are employed to i'm
pose upon them and to mislead them by the use Of
falacious arguments, and by appealing to their
party prejudices, and be vigilant and active in
attending to their duties at the polls, they will be
able to secure public servants who will be faith
full to their interests
