The story OF the same occurrence is thus
told by Mr.. Meinhold
HE asked how we paid Mr.. Cristy. and
when he learned that II was by check he
asked n coulo not get him one OF those
vouchers TO SHOW TO a man. When
asked why he wanted TO show such
check he replied. Now is the time for us
10 get rid OF this whole trouble. for IL is
time TO appoint a new commissioner and
we expect to get rid OF Mr. Luther. and if
we do you can have your license all right
as you want IL and can run your place I'm
a much more liberal way than you have
been doing
"He told me that he wanted 10 show tho
check to a man who would oppose Mr.
Cristy in the ministers meeting and he
wanted him TO see that Mr.. Cristy got his
money from us.

check, but asked II might use his phone

The arrangement by which Mr. Cristy
passed upon the character OF the pictures
was made at the suggestion OF Chief Mat

Concerning the allegation that Chief
Matthews withheld from Commissioner
Luther the certificate given by Mr. Cristy
as TO certain pictures examined by Mr..
Luther. Mr.. Nash says:
-Four reels of moving pictures and
seven sets OF 10 photographs each were
taken over. These had all been approved
by Mr.. Cristy, and the certificate of his
approval was given To the chief at the
same time the pictures were given.
"Mr. Luther told me he had not even
then seen the list with Mr.. Cristy's in
dorsement on It. which | had delivered to
the chief on Saturday morning, and that
if he had seen or known OF Il then he
would have at once consulted with Mr.

Don't Sell Inferior Hogs.

doubt remember that If sold for pork
the hog Is worth in most cases what
it cost to raise it. If you have pigs
to sell for breeders keep in mind that
a worthy specimen, better hog than
was described to the buyer, will become
walking advertisement for your herd
and you as breeder. But much as
such a pig and such a policy can do
for you is little compared to what a
poor pig cannot do ror you and your
business. To ship an unworthy speci-

buy trouble in abundance for the

Points on Making Hay.

This Is what Canada farmer says
If a first-class article is wanted do
not leave it exposed to sun and air too
long. Wild hay should be raked at
once after cutting and put into cocks.
Being green and heavy it will settle
quickly and will not be blown around
by the wind. Do not be afraid that
1t will spoil. have raked it right up
after the mower in the rain, and 1t
made bright, sweet hay. l believe that
farmers generally let their hay cure
too much and thus lose a large amount
or the substance. This plan may mean
a little extra work, but | believe 1t
pays. Try it and see.

Poultry for Market,

Probably no article marketed from
the farm sells on so wide a range of
prices on account of condition and ap-
pearance as poultry. The market calls
for undrawn stock. The reason of this
is that drawn poultry sours in from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours, while
undrawn will hold from week to two
weeks without tainting. Another fact
should be remembered, that the crop
Of the bird If filled at time of killing
will sour very soon. For this reason
the bird should be kept from all food
(if possible) at least twelve hours be-
fore killing. But If filled, do not re-
move 1t.

Crested Fowls Not Popular.

The crested breeds of fowls, such as
Polish and the French varieties, are
excellent layers, but during the winter
season, or during damp weather, the
crests become wet, which is Il draw
back. Sometimes one or two Polish,
when closely confined, will easily be in
duced to pick the feathers from the
creSts of the Others, which vice soon
becomes general in the flock. The crests
or the males suffer more particularly,
on account Of their topknots being more
open. One should separate them until
the feathers are sufficiently grown to
hide the skin. When the topknots are
very large, and in wet weather it is a
good plan to confne the feathers with
an elastic band, but the surer method
is to keep the birds under shelter dur
ing such periods.

A good ration for the horse of any
kind of feed is about pound of grain
and one and II half pounds Of hay to
each hundred pounds of horse. And
this would apply to alfalfa. In fact,
the horse should do better on the al
falfa than with the other hays and
with less grain. This might be the op-
perfume time to say that the majority
of farmers feed too much hay Of all
kinds to their horses. In fact, the
