How to Get Eggs in Winter.

How to Get Eggs IN winter.
To get eggs abundantly in winter
attention must be paid to three points
of management: Selecting the layers.
housing and feeding. AS with all
| birds the normal season for nesting
| and egg-laying is spring and summer
| The cold of winter requires an extra
| draft on the system to maintain am
| NAL heat and with all forms OF am
/ nal is a period OF greater or less Ill
| action and rest preparatory to the
| more active life of warmer weather.
| To get eggs in winter one must
start at least year ahead. One must
| hatch The chickens early-not later
| than Aplil-and keep the pulletS grow
| ing in healuny condition, so tnat
| they will come to maturity before
really cold weather sets in in the fail.
AS soon as the cOckerels can be dis
tinguished, they should be separated
from the pullets, as the diet that will
fatten a broiler properly is not con
ducive to the normal growth and de-
d
for an early layer. The latter shOui1
not be fed ON a too fattening ration,
nor should be forced, as forcing Is
detrimental to the healthy sexual de
velOpment If a pullet comes to full
maturity before extremely cold wealth
er, say in October. she will begin TO
lay, and. if given reasonable care,
will lay more car less all winter, the
number of eggs she will lay depend
ing on how we'll she is treated.
There is no particular breed Oh
winter layers, although such a claim
is sometimes made. 1t is well, how
ever to avoid these breeds which
have large combs, as a hen with
frozen comb will lay no eggs until
warm weather. Where fowls are
bred and managed for winter layers
for some years, the disposition to lay
in winter become hereditary to some
extent. If the pullets which naIc
laid in winter are to be kept the sec.
ond year. they should not be fed for
eggs during the summer and early fall,
more readily take up the laying habit
again in early winter, if then fed lib
orally and with an egg-laying ration.
Make our hens think that it is sum
mer, and they will lay" we have been
told and while the advice is good in
a way. the experience, in trying to
follow it, are apt to meet with new
troubles worse than those they are
seeking to avoid. A house perfectly
dry and fresh air are essentials to the
we'll being of the winter flock. The
building should be reasonably tight,
but not absolutely so, unless, PROV
sions are made for ventilation. A
house kept too tight, especially if &
little overcrowded, becomes damp
with foul. moisture-laden air. ana
dampness is the thing to be mosl

At 4:30 yesterday aft -noon the
democratic convention was called to
order by chairman Heitfeld without
loss of time. Chairman M. S. Park
er Of Ada read the platform which the
committee had prepared and it was
adopted without change. Chairman
Heitfeld called p. NJ. Davis of Ada,
to the chair and placed in nomination
Fred T. Dubois for United States sem
ator. Joe HUTCHINSON, of Ada, took
the platform and in howery and ell
oquent speech seconded the nomina-
ton Of Senator Dubois. At the close
of Mr.. Hutchinson's address, Geo.
Erb of Nez Perce moved that the NOM
nations for U. S. senator be closed
and it was seconded from all parts of

no man in the state of Idaho will

the republican party continues to at
tempt to defend or condone it it will
go down to inevitable defeat. 1t is
even now up against it. The issue
is squarely placed before you: Will
you support the constitution of
your state? If you will, you will

would subscribe to the oath. If they

such a statute as we contemplate
will make them either leave the

interference with politics and desist
from the practice of polygamy.

gamy, the answer is simple: They
need not hesitate to subscribe to the

of all is the law permitting a change

DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM
ACOmprehensiVe Document Strong
ly Anti-MOrmOm

We, the democrats of Idaho in
state convention assembled. hereby
unequivocally reaftirm our allegiance
to the time honored principles of
democracy as advocated by Jefferson.
Jackson and Bryan.
Hon. VIM. J. Bryan being one of
the greatest living Americans and the
foremost exponent of democratic,
principles, we heartily endorse him
for the democratic presidential nom.
ination in 1908.
We heartily endorse and commend
to the thoughtful people Of Idaho the
record of Hon. Fred T. Dubois in the
United States senate, and in his pat
riotic struggle for the weel of his
state and nation, the democrats of
Idaho pledge him their hearty sup
port. After a long career in the
halls of congress during a period in
which Doodle and corruption in high
places ran riot, he returns to his con-
stituents poorer man than he was
on the day he was first elected.
We most cordially and heartily
commend his course in congress in
securing for Idaho national aid for
the great irrigation enterprises that
are now making the deserts of Idaho
the garden spots of America.
We heartily endorse the policy of
nominating a candidate for United
States senator in the state conven-
ton, policy that is proverbiaIly
and essentially democratic.
Approaching the great advantages
that will accrue to our state from the
meeting of the fourteenth national ir-
rigation congress to be held in Boise,
Sept. Bird to sth, inclusive, we pledge
our legislative candidates to work for
the appropriation of IS, 600, 900 or as
much thereof as may be needed to as
sist in defraying the expense Of said
congress.
We heartily are in favor of NUM-
cipal ownership of public utilities.
We believe that the time has come
when there should be a revision of
the present tariff to meet the condi-
tions Of the country today.
We hereby denounce in unmeasured
terms the gross, wilful, extravagant
and corrupt manner in which the
present state administration has con-
Quoted the state government during
the past two years and we condemn
the present state administration for
the manner in which the business OF
the state land board is conducted and
especially its action in unjustly con-
testing the homestead claims Of the
settlers who have, in the utmost good
faith, expended their time and in
vested their money in securing homes
for themselves and their families up
on the public domain within the state
Of Idaho.
We are heartily in favor Of the en-
