Whether an incubator can be made
profitable thing for the average poultry
raiser depends upon the kind of incu-
bator and the kind Of person who
runs it, We have known many case
where the owner of an incubator really
wanted to kill the maker Of it about the
time when the first Matching came off,
and then we have known others who
thought they were the greatest inven-
ton of the age. 1t is entirely possible
now to secure incubators which If CIV
en- reasonable care and attention will
give good results. A great advantage
connected with their use is in being
able to raise early chickens, which for
every purpose are worth very much
more than late ones. The man of the
house rarely takes kindly to an in
vestment of money in this machine by
his wife, and it, as sometimes hap
pens, she gets only four chicks from
six dozen eggs most men are mean
enough to never forget it and use the
fact as strong point in almost any
sort of a connubial row.

Fourteen pounds of sugar for dol
lar is a standing reproach to the wis
dom of our statesmen in framing the
revenue laws Of the country when,
with common sense legislation on the
sugar question, every citizen Of the
country could just as well as not have
twenty-six pounds. With vast stretches
of sugar producing country and 49,
100000 heather who can do little else
save raise cane, why not make it posi-
BILE for the common people of this coun-
try to benefit in a small way from the
benevolent and humanitarian schemes
of the government and bust one of the
biggest and meanest trusts in the
whole country at the same. time?
''Twenty-six pounds Of sugar for dol
lar" would make good slogan for
some political party in the near future.

A friend writes that he has every rea-
son to believe that his neighbours bird
dog is killing his chickens, though he
has not been, able to get any positive
proof of tkeyfact, and wants to know
what he should do under the circum-
stances. This is one of those annoying
neighborhood muses. in which we do
not like to take hand and which gen.
orally settle themselves somehow or
other We think under the circum-
stances we should ask the neighbor to
shut up the dog on suspicion, and if
the loss of the chickens ceased 1t would
be pretty conclusive evidence that the
dog was guilty. Then the dog might
be quietly disposed of on purely cir
cumstantial evidence and on general
principles, as is often done; then our
friend might stand guard over his
chicken yard and locate the culprit,
which, after all, might prove to be
mink from the creek or a skunk from
the cornfields or an old owl from the
big timber. 1t takes pretty good evil
dence to convince any man that either
his boy or his dog is much of a sinner.

When winter seizes the great north
west prairie country in its grip there is
a poor show for all forms of wild life.
AS one rides over the country on a
train he will occasionally see few
prairie chickens feeding in some corn
field, rabbit or jack will start out
from under q culvert or out of the
weeds by the right of way, an owl or
hawk may be seen lazily skimming
some weedy fence row for q stray
mouse, a bunch of snowbirds are bust
ly engaged on a weed patch, and
few crows brave the cold for the rich
picking In some feed lot. Here and
there the track of prairie wolf may
be noted as he foraged the previous
night for stray rabbits and mice. Once
in awhile the great snowy owl will
drift down from his arctic home and
find himself stranger In strange
land and an easy victim for the man
with a gun, while here and there a red
fox may be seen Looping over the end
less white of the prairie. The spar
row braves the wintry weather as we'll
as any of his tribe and finds warm
roosting places In the barns, sheds and
outbuildings of the farm. In the
groves the sapsucker and nuthatch may
be found and an occasional blackbird
in some manner left behind at the time
of his folks migration last fall.

Must List All Dogs.

The fact that the tax on dogs In
Highland county pays but small
percentage of the loss caused by their
depredations has aroused the farm
ers to the necessity of taking some
action to save the sheep industr y
from annihilation. They are organ.
izing all over the county and will In.
sist upon the assessors this spring
listing every dog in the county. 1t Ia
the intention to watch the assessors
and prosecute the first one found
guilty of omitting dogs from the
duplicate. The section of the statute
which will be worked reads as fol.
lows:
"Any assessor who shall wilfully
omit to return any property for taxa.
tion, or any auditor who shall wilfully
omit any property from the tax dupli.
cate that is liable to taxation, or any
persons conspiring to 'wilfully in
crease the number or amount of any
tax omissions shall, upon conviction
thereof, pay fine not exceeding two
hundred dollars, or to be imprisoned
in the county jail not exceeding sixty
days or both"

Don't Fear tho Penalty,

While the statutes of Ohio forbid
any public official being interested in
contracts for the purchase of property
or supplies it is evidently a "dead
letter" locally. Our officers evident.
ly have no fear of its enforcement
and the severe penalty provided.
This was abundantly shown at the
meeting of council Monday evening,
when every councilman was interest
ed in at least some bill paid. Neither
is 1t ignorance on the part of our
councilmen, as at the February meet
ing Mr.. Patton refused to vote for 4
bill of the Hillsboro Hardware Co. and
called attention to the fact that the
supplies we're purchased before he
became an official of the village.
Both he and Mr.. Costello voted aye"
on the bill of that firm at the Monday
evening meeting. Mr.. Swisshelm
voted no." but the bill of John Jolly,
in which he is supposed to be interest
ed, was allowed. Mr.. Erwin voted
mo" on all bills, but was ordered
paid Sl5 for pound rent. Mr.. Nesbit
is an employe of the Hillsboro I'm.
plement Co. and the bill of that firm
was allowed. To complete the list
the firm of p. j. Geyler & Co. of which
Mr.. Geyler is member were paid 80
cents for lumber.
Section 6969 of the statutes of
Ohio reads as follows: Gan officer
elected or appointed to an office of
trust or profit in this state, and an
agent, clerk, servant, or employe of
such officer, or of board of such
officers, who, while acting as such
officer, agent. clerk, servant, or EN-.
ploye, shall become, directly or in
directly, interested in any contract
for the purchase of any property or
fire insurance for the use of the state,
county, township, city, town, or vii
lage, shall be imprisoned in the peni.
tentiary not more than ten years nor
less than one year."
Section 6976 also covers the viola.
tion and reads as follows: Gan officer
or member of the council of any muni-
cipal corporation or the trustee of
any township, who is interested d.
rectly or indirectly in the profits of
any contract, job work, or service for
the corporation, or township, or acts
as commissioner, architect, superin.
tendent, or engineer, In any work un.
dertaken or prosecuted by the corpor.
alton or township, during the term for
which he was elected or appointed, OF
for one year thereafter, shall be fined
not more than one thousand dollars
nor less than five hundred dollars, or
imprisoned not more than six months
nor less than thirty days, or both, and
shall forfeit his Office"
