From Controlling Elections.
MENACE TO FREE PEOPLE
ALL CITIZENS INVITED TO HELP
THE WORK.

Washington, Jan 7S.-Publicity Of
election contributions and expenditures
and the formation Of organizations to
promote these purposes in all states
are urged in an address issued tonight
by the national publicity bill organiza-
ton The address follows:
For the purpose OF eliminating by
ell appropriate methods the evils re-
sulting from secret contributions and
expenditures Of large sums Of money
in elections, a meeting was held in the
city Of Washington on the 18th Of Janu-
airy, 1906, an association was formed
to be known as the National Publicity
Bill Organization and this address was
authorized.
Menace to Free People.
1.-THE secret and corrupt use of money
in the election of chief magistrate of
a nation, its legislators, and its state
and municipal officers is a dangerous
menace TO the institutions of a free
people. The prOhigate use Of money
for such purposes enables the CONSOLE
dalton interests, by secret contributions
to dominate political organizations, de-
priving the many of their political
rights TO confer them on the few.
first and most important measure of
relief is the passage OF a national law
requiring the disclosure. under oath.
of every contribution Of money and
every promise of money in national
campaigns, and in case of evasion pro-
viding for exposure, detection and pun
ishment substantially as set forth in
bill prepared. under the laws Of the as
ISOLATION.
All Are Concerned.
This organization desires to promote
the formation of similar organizations
in every state of the Union in order
that the proposed national law may be
supplemented by state legislation Of
like character and as nearly uniform
as possible. This movement has the
support of leading representative men
of the political parties and OF organized
labor. Tt concerns the rights and honor
of every citizen and the approval. and
active cooperation Of all are earnestly
invoked to carry this reform to a sue
cessfUl conclusion.

Remedy for DandeIions

To the person who is trying to
maintain lawn dandelions mean
nothing but a source of work and an
noyance, says writer in Country
Life in America. Cutting them off,
even below the surface seems merely
to have the effect of making them
multiply the faster. A spoonful of
gasoline poured into the center of the
head of each dandelion or chicory will
destroy them root and branch within
twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The
gasoline penetrates throughout the
plant, even into the tip of the roots
causing a Shiny decomposition. APP
parently gasoline has some affinity fol-
the milk or latex in these plants and
follows the latex tubes through the
whole plant. Grass and shrubbery are
not injured by the gasoline. unless il
is carelessly applied in undue guam
tities.-EX.

Alfalfa and More Live Stock

The increasing acreage of alfalfa
in Nebraska is going to do great
things in live stock growing and feed
ing in that section. A farmer there
in referring to this matter says that
the farmers of the state are going to
put their corn on the backs OF cattle
and hogs and ship it to the markets
of the world in that form. Il believe
we have passed the highest point In
grain shipments from the state. In
time elevators will become almost
obsolete. / have a farm south of Lin
coin with 1870 acres of alfalfa, and
raised so much rough fodder that last
year | had to feed all OF the corn
from 400 acres and buy 10000 bush
els for my yards in order to use up
all the alfalfa. That shows what will
become of the corn of Nebraska when
this alfalfa gets in its best work. :

Testing Alcohol for Power

A telegram from New York says
that an investigation into the posi-
bilities of alcohol as fuel in small
gas engines is about to be begun by
Prof. Charles E. Lucke of Columbia
university for the United States de-
partment of agriculture. At the last
session of congress the internal rev.
enue tax was removed from denat-
ured alcohol so as to permit it's use
for industrial purposes. This law goes
into effect January 1, 1907. AS a re-
suit it is expected that large quanti-
ties of this alcohol will be used as
fuel for small engines. 1t is expect
ed that this will increase the products
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-09-20

of the farm, nearly all of which can
be utilized for alcohol manufacture.
Prof Lucke will collect the results
of the experiments conducted on the
use of alcohol in engines, which have
been carried out both here and abroad,
and will expand the information by
further experiments. All of this data
together with a complete photography
of the subject, will be issued by the
department of agriculture in the form
of bulletin for free distribution on
January 1, 1907, when the law goes
into effect.

Where no skim milk is available
for fattening pigs shorts and oilEeai
make a good substitute, and this is
as cheap a mixture as can be got,
and the cost of producing a pound OF
pork outside where no shelter is pro-

producing it inside, and protection
is essential for the production OF cheap
pork. Such are the conclusions ar
rived at by the central experiment

Locust and Sycamore From Seed

The seed of black locust ripens in
the fall and it is best to gather 1T at
once, though this may be done later,
as many of the pods hang ON the
trees all winter. When gathered, the
seeds should be left in the pods and
placed in a cool dry place until time
for planting. Just before planting
time the seed should be place IN
water, heated to temperature OF
100 to 1870 degrees and left to soak
two or three days.
At the end of this time the seeds
that are swollen should be sorted out
and planted at once. The seeds not
swollen should again be treated IN
the same way. The water should not
be boiling when applied, else the
germs will be injured, if not killed.
The swollen seed may be sorted out
by Manipulating, or if large guam
tity is to be planted, the sorting may
be done by use of sieve with mesh
of such size as to allow the seeds
not swollen to pass through it. In
every case the swollen seed must be.
| planted before they have chance
to dry out.
The fruit of sycamore is a rough,
long-stemmed ball, about the size OF
a hickory nut. The ball contains many
hundreds of seeds, as may be readily
noted when it is broken up. The seed
ripens in the fall and should be COLI
lected sometime in October or Novem-
Der. The fruit balls then may be
placed in canvas bags and stored in
a cool, dry place until the following
| spring, when the seeds may be plant
\ ed without further treatment.
+ The seeded should be fertile and
well drained. If the soil contains
some sand, so much the better. A
gentle northeast slope is preferable.
The ground should be prepared as
if it were to he used for garden. The
seeds of both black locust and syca-
more may be sown in drills at the
: rate of about 80 to the linear foot
Cover them about half an inch deep.
The drills should be about foot
apart for hand cultivation and two

The Effect of Rapid Cooling Upon the
Keeping Quality Of Milk


The enormous advantage of thor
oughly cooling milk Immediately after
it's being drawn, seems to be very I'M
perfectly understood. and not at all
appreciated by many farmers, and but
little even by many who make the
selling of milk, or cream, their chief
business.
This comparatively simple, and easy
applied treatment, is too often neg
lected, with the result that the milk,
or cream, is sour within few hours,
where If it had been Immediately and
thoroughly cooled, it would have kept
sweet a much longer time, depending
upon the temperature Of which it was
cooled, and the cleanliness observed
in handling it, previous to, and during
the cooling process.
Too frequently, and especially
among the dairymen OF the small
towns, presentations, in the shape OF
chemicals injurious to the health OF
the consumer of the milk, are literally
used to obtain the same effect as that
of the proper application OF a little
cold water, and perhaps, in the warm
est seasons, little ice.
Very often, in these small diaries
but perhaps more often in the larger
ones, treatment known as pateuriz
alton. is employed. This as is well
known. consists in heating the milk
to comparative high temperature
and then rapidly cooling it down tC
so degrees Fahrenheit or Whereabouts
This course, while advantageous al
times in combating disease germs
has many disadvantages, and is too
often used as shield in covering vi
gross uncleanliness in production.

who sent milk to Paris, France, AM

transit, in a sweet conditions, by sin

Killing Chicken Lice.

Many so-called poultry raisers pay
too little attention to keeping their
chickens free from lice, and yet it is
not a difficult matter to keep them
clean. There are three or four differ
ent species of lice that infest the
poultry houses. but all may be killed
or kept in check by the same remedy.
Sweet oil or lard is used by many to
good advantage, and especially for
old birds. Oil clogs the breathing
pores of the lice, and thus causes
suffocation. For this reason sweet
oil or lard is probably the most effec-
tive lice remedies that can be en-
ployed. 1t is not only necessary TO
kill the lice on the chickens, but 1t
is equally necessary to thoroughly
disinfect the poultry house or the
places where the chickens roost.
For this purpose kerosene emulsion
will give good results. A good white
wash containing five per cent carbollc
acid is very effective, and, in fact,
should always be used in cleaning a
hen house. A thorough treatment
with lime will not only kill lice, but
other insects as well. Bear in mind
that lousy chickens can never make as
good progress as chickens that are
free from such parasites, and it is
very important, especially at this time
of the year, that they should all be in
thrifty condition. The hens and the
bullets need to get ready for the
winter egg laying season. This they
can not do to good advantage II they
must nourish in addition to their own
bodies those of hundreds OF lice.

The Fresh Egg Stamp

For a number of years enterprising
poultrymen of good repute have stamp
ed their egg productions with rubber
stamp bearing the words Guaranteed
strictly fresh" So long as this was
done only by responsible men whose
guarantee meant something and who
would add name and address to the
stamp, the consumer was getting the
best and could depend upon such eggs.
Naturally enough, perhaps, rascals
caught the idea and proceeded to buy
packed eggs in the large cities and
stamped them strictly fresh, but fal.-
ed to add their names and addresses.
The natural consequences ensued so
that the consumer Stunned rather than
sought the stamped eggs. In several
states law has been enacted carrying
with it a heavy penalty for any one
who buys eggs and stamps them
strictly fresh. This law should be in
force in every state and farmers every
where are urged to bring the matter
to the attention of the law makers
of their state this winter in order to
protect themselves.

Startinq the Chicks Right.

When chicks are first Matched give
them grit of some kind, coarse sand
preferable, but the chicken grit sold
for that purpose is a good substitute
When they are from twenty-four TO
thirty hours old give them their first
feed, using what is known as steel
cut oats or pinhead oatmeal. Do not
make the mistake of giving them
rolled oats, faxed oats or any other
cooked preparation of oats. The steer
cut oats may be bought anywhere IN
the country, but failing, cracked wheat
may be used. With this feed water Is
given, but scalded milk is better.
For the first week only the oat FEED
is given. and not more of that than
they will eat up clean. After week a
little whole wheat is added and grad
uallv the wheat is substituted for the
oats, until at three weeks old, the
whole feed is cracked corn and wheat

Poultry on the Farm.

The farmer is the man that has all
the advantages in rearing poultry and
can raise it at a larger profit than any
other poultry raiser. He can hatch
the little chicks at his leisure, and
after the brooder is through with them
they run over the farm and require
but little care compared with that
which other fanciers must give them.
What we want to bring about is to
induce our friends on the farm to
raise better poultry, and the way to
do it is to take as much interest In
it as you do in other branches OF
your work. You raise wheat, corn,
oats, cattle, hogs, etc., and get the
best seed you can find for the grain
or the best stock adapted to your pur-
pose, and why not take the same
interest in poultry? Look well to the
line of trade which you wish to make
a specially and start right. If you are
after a class of fowls to meet the
trade as egg producers, and at the
same time supply a good carcass for
the market note the standard Amer
lean class, as we are sure you can
find a breed to comply with your
taste. If you want large market
fowl for capons, note we'll the Asiatic
class. If it is a spry egg machine
you are looking after, the Mediter-
ranean class fills your wants. There
is a good demand for thoroughbred
poultry that will command fair profit
for ali the surplus stock you can raise.
At the same time you are providing
for your family a class of food OF
the best, and at the cost of a little
labor which would be lost II not util-

lied in this way. All that the poultry
business requires is push and work,
the same as any other branch of farm
ing.
Now, do not stick to the old way
of raising poultry, by letting the
hawks and crows steal all the little
fellows. but look after them every day
and see to their comforts. Provide
clean roosting places, free from lice
and draughts of cold wind. Now is
the time to care for them, If you have
neglected to do so before, by provid-
ing clean water and proper food. You
will receive a reward that will fill
the basket with fresh eggs and will
literally remunerate you in a financial
way.

Fall Core of Poultry for Eggs.

raiser of many cares and close observa-
TONS The chicks do not require the
care and close attention that they
need earlier in the season. Incubators
and brooders are cleaned and stored
away until another season, but there
are a great many things that must
have ones undivided attention.
The fall of the year is the worst
time for roup. 1t is generally brought
on by letting the cod wind strike the
fowls or by letting them roost in damp
houses. Damp weather is breeder of
the disease An afflicted bird should
be separated from the rest of the flock,
as roup spreads rapidly. Drinking YES
sells should be kept clean. Have
poultry houses in dry place and keep
dry, clean and we'll ventilated. Slack
ed lime ought to be sprinkled on the
floor to absorb the moisture. With
proper care roup can be prevented
1t is a difficult disease to cure when
it once makes it's attack. Begin in
time and depend on the preventive and
not the cure.
The pulleets that we expect for
winter layers must be kept growing
and in good health. We should see
that they are not overcrowded. 1t Is
important to push the pullets because
if they begin to lay during the fall be-
fore winter sets in they will keep on
laying. Should they not lay before
winter begins they will not lay at all
before spring, but will begin early
Liberal feeding assists in overcoming
some of the difficulties. Gull out all
inferior stock and select only early,
strong, active pullets. One must nave
an intelligent interest in the care and
feeding of fowls to get best results.
Green food and a constant supply OF
animal food are essentials that must
be present to obtain large number OF
eggs. One pound of cut bone for Il
dozen hens once a day, which should
not cost over cent a pound, will pro-
duce more eggs than five times as
much grain because the cut. bone is
complete in egg making substances,
while the grain is largely deficient
in many respects. The cost OF bone
cutter soon comes back to the poultry
man in the increased egg yield OF his
flock.
The fall eggs are always advancing
in price. and will continue to do so.
Do not feed too much fresh meat and
bone. Remember that hen would
have to run a long way to eaten
enough bugs to supply two ounces OF
fresh meat. Cut bone lessons the
grain bill, cheapens the food cost and
gives larger profits on fowls and eggs.
The egg yield during the fall months
is usually not one half what it might
be, and you can get the best results
You will be pleased with the increased
profit for very little extra labor.
