HOW TO TELL LAYERS

Some very pointed questions
are asked in the following Letter
from South Dakota. "Please
teach me to know how to select
the laying hen from the non-lay.
ing hen; also how to buy hens in
the early winter that will make
good winter layers, and can be
disposed of at a good profit after
giving us a large yield of eggs;
and how to pick out the pullets,
the averagers and the poor lay
ers." There is only one way and
only one,> that we know of, to
tell the good layer from the aver
age or poor layer, and that by
means of the trap nest; in other
words by the actual count of the
actually laid eggs. There is not
a soul on earth that we ever
heard of, whether professor or
layman, expert or otherwise, not
even a poultry editor, who is sup
posed to know everything worth
knowing about poultry, that can
tell by the outward appearance
whether the hen is one of the $50
eggs year, or of the SO egg
kind. And we would beg to be
relieved Of the task to sort the
young pullets out into the good,
from average and Indifferent lay
ers. We might as we'll be asked
to go into the cornfeld in July
when the corn is knee high and
tell by the plants which ones will
have the largest ears, or which
will have two ears and which only
one. If we are after eggs we
must first get up a flock of a good
egg-laying strain, such as Leg
horns, Wyandottes, Langshans,
Plymouth Rocks, etc., and then
sort out the good layers by the
use of the trap nest. The select
ed breed we would keep for
breeding and surely not sell off
this valuable stock the first spring
after they have given good egg
yield in winter. Practical Farm

DOES THE MHlSKDY
INTETEST RULE KENTUCKY?

1t is time that the Christian
and moral people of Kentucky

beer interest combined rules Ken.
lucky. That these interests com.
bined prevent the people through
the legislature and courts from
having what they want, when,
what they want is in conflict in
the slightest way with the profits
of their business. We do not OBJ
ject to the whisky men making a
fight for their interest, that is
natural, except where it applies
to the violation of laws, but we
do think that it is time that the
temperance people to fully under
stand what they have to fight.
Men are elected to the Legisla-
ture by money put up by the
whisky people and the temper
ence people go to sleep over the
fact until they find out that these
same men whom they did not
even suspicion, are keeping tenn
perence laws from a vote or else
burying them in the committees,
where they are never allowed to
see the light of day. Why is it
now at Frankfort that the Coun-
ty Unit bill is not. allowed to come
to vote in the Senate? 1t is be-
cause a lot Of Senators do not
want to go on record as voting
againt it. 1t is nothing but a
species of cowardice. They are
trying to kill the bill without
having the cougage to vot e
aginst it. An investigation into
some of these Senators would dis
close the fact that they are in
close communion with the whisky
interests. Of course there are
some Senators who are honestly
opposed to this measure, from
Conscientious convictions a n d
will vote against it if it is ever
put on its passage. For these
men we have not an unkind word
to say. We glory in man who
stands for his convictions wheth-
er we think he is right or not, but
we have no patience with the
trimmer and the demagogue who
talks one way with the people
talks another way in the Legisla-
ture and uses his utmost endeav-
or to keep from committing him.
self on a proposition that will
cost him popularity. We are not
an enthusiast on the County Unit
Bill, we can see some faults in it
but we can at this distance from
Frankfort detect THE slime Of
whisky in it's opposition.
We have another evidence of
the power of this distilling and
brewing interests in Louisville.
The Kentucky Statutes say in
section 1903, ANY person who
shall on Sunday keep open a bar
room or other place for the sale
of spirituous, vinous or malt liq-
uors, or who shall sell or other
wise dispose of such liquors or
any of them on Sunday, shall be
fined not less than $40 nor more
than $50 for each offence. ;" This
is just as plain a provision of the
law as can be made. 1t is the
law that closes the saloons in Eliz-
abethtown on Sunday, yet 1000
saloons are open in Louisville
every Sunday. This is the pow
er Of the whisky influence in
politics. 1t contributes to cam
paign funds and in return it con-
trolls legislation and protects the
saloon keeper in violating the
law. How long are the good
people going to stand for such
things. -E-town News.
