DEPEW ON HONESTY
Dec. 81, 1899, the New York Worlt
published the follOwing:1 I I.

uDl1Shed the fOllOWlng:
BY CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW.
Honesty is too much talked about,
as if it were scarce in these days.
The business principles of today are
better, purer and more universally
honest than they were in the days
Z Of my boyhood.
I have seen many men become
wealthy thru dishonest methods, and
my experience with them has taught
me this: That most men who gain
wealth dishonesty, if they live long
enough, get poor again. 1t is al
most an -invariable- rule, and 1t is
reasonable enough, if you stop to
= figure it out, for it comes about in
this way: .EI &@eT
A man employs dishonest meth
: DDS and yet he becomes very veal
thy. All his creditors know that his
career is just little bit shady as
regards business methods, but he
sails serenely along until a crucial
moment arrlves-a moment such as
we had last week-when ready
money, "cash at any price, was
the cry of the maddened brokers'.
Then he finds his Waterloo. The
credit which he might have obtained,
the confidence Of reliable, reputable
firms which he might have com
manded, are not Forthcoming.
The main temptation with which
the ordinary business man Of today
is beset is the. temptation to mis-
represent his capital or. business
prospects, and thus obtain greater
credit. But don't do it.; it does
not pay. The old, old adage, Hon
esty is the best policy is the
safest motto for every business man
to follow. And I know what I am
talking about, too.
Be good and you'll be happy
but you won't have a good time,
may sound very well and elicit
rounds of applause, but it is a fal
lacy thru and thru. Tt is easier
much easier, for an honest man tc
become wealthy than for his dishon
est brother, who may seem to pros
per for time; but, mark my words
his is only temporary success.
The above is printed without com
ment. The circumstances seem to make
comment unnecessary.

Primary Law Is Botch Work.

No one knows how the primary cleo
tion law is going to work. The law is
far from being what the insurgents
want, and they charge freely that it has
been framed for the purpose of disgust
ing the people with the primary princi-
pie. As far as county and legislative
nominations are concerned, it is the di-
rect primary on about the same lines as
Minnesota, except that nominations
must be made by petition. But it was
not the local nominations that the in
surgents cared about. They wanted the
direct primary in nominating state Off
GERS. and the original bill SO provided.
AS finally amended, the law gives any
thing but the direct primary, and the
insurgents do not expect it to be of any
benefit to them.
In it's application to state offices the
law is certainly botch affair and one
of the most cumbersome and illogical
schemes ever framed It's provisions
are in brief as follows:
Delegates to the state convention are
to be selected at the same time nomi-
nations are made for the legislature and
county offices, which is on the first

Cost of Feeding Work Horses.

The New Hampshire Experiment
Station has been carrying on some
experiments in feeding work horses.
The experiments were conducted
through a period of two years. The
five college work horses we're used
in the experiment during the whole
period, their weights taken twice
each week, and the number of hours
work recorded. The water drank by
each horse during the full time was
weighed and recorded.
Ration No. 1 consisted Of ten
pounds hay. two pounds bran, six
pounds corn, six pounds gluten feed,
and cost daily 1913 cents.
Ration No. was made up of ten
pounds hay, two pounds bran, six
pounds corn, eight pounds oats, and
cost 22,5 cents.
Ration No. 3 consisted of ten
pounds hay, eight pounds corn, seven
pounds bran, and cost 20.4 cents.
Ration No. was made up of ten
pounds hay, eight pounds corn, four
linseed oil meal. and cost 20 cents.
Ration No. 5 consisted of ten
pounds hay, one pound cottonseed
meal, two pounds bran, eight pounds
corn, and cost ia cents.
The corn was bought at $40 per
ton; bran, $17; cottonseed meal, $26 !;
linseed oil meal, $28; gluten feed,
$1S; oats, SO cents per bushel; and
hay was reckoned at SIG per ton.
Each horse received different ra-
ton, and at the end of a month was
fed on another ration, this contln-
uing until each horse had been fed

ribbons ON his coops. Possibly he
had overlooked just a little white in
the wing feathers of bis Brown Leg
horns (white in wings of Leghorns
being disqualification, while slate
color in wing is a heavy cut; or
there might have been just the
slightest suspicion of down on legs
or between toes of his birds, or over
two-thirds permanent red in the ear
lobes. These also would disqualify
his birds. With the aid of a Stand
ard you can guard against such mis-
takes as above. But even with a
Standard it takes long practice to
pick bird for flock fit to show in
company and be handled by compe-
tent Judge.
Training the Fowls.
Then birds have to be trained for
the show room if you expect to win,
for in Judging they are gone over
section by section from bill to toes.
If a bird is not perfectly quiet and
does not allow the judge to handle
it, it il put back in the coop, and
when the ribbons are up there will
be none on the "scarey" chicken
coop. Birds intended for shows
should be put up at least six weeks
beforehand and handled twice a day
morning and evening, and they will
get to look for you. By the way,
the last sentence reminds me of
"rooster" yarn [ heard the other day.
There was man in Cabarrus Coun
ty who owned a farm a few miles in
the country, and a house and lot in
Concord, and he was fond of moving
first to the country, then back to
town. He did this so often that an
old rooster" that he had had for
years. whenever he heard them tax
ing down the beds in the house,
came up on the back porch, lay down
with his legs crossed-ready to be
tied to GO when the family left!
This is no fairy story, but was
told me by good old German from
up on Dutch Buffalo.
