Reeder had the amazing effrontery to
vote against the whipping post
Whether Mr. Campbell with his nice
equipOise and his senatorial boom was
merely taking his lunch in the house
restaurant, or debating a Standard Oil
philippeic in his committee room when
the vote was taken, has up to this hour
of going to press been unascertained;
yet certain it is that he is marked in
the Congressional Record, mot voting
The same stands against one William A.
Calderhead, but he is not to be accused
of lacking in courage, for once he was
one of a lone eight in the house, includ-
ing Chester I. Long, then representative,
and Uncle Joe" Cannon, who voted
against the proposition, sprung just
ahead of a political campaign, to ex-
clude labor unions from the provisions
of the antitrust laws. So Mr.. Calder
head probably was not afraid to go on
record.
Anyway, the whipping post will not
confront sightseers as they 60 around
Washington; and the standard guides
will not have references to them.
Furthermore, one other blue law has
failed of revival
Speaking of the whipping post reminds
one of the piece that Peter Felix Dunno
once wrote as Sunday story, when he
was getting out his "DoOley" stuff, in
which he told HenDessey that he OBJ
served there was a disposition among
lawmakers at the capital to establish
the whipping post, and create the office

! today, Mrs. Williamson lost five pieces
of baggage, out of twenty-five, but it
/ is hoped they viii turn up. The
baggage system here is peculiar.
When you travel by rail, your baggage
/ is placed in the baggage car by the
man who takes it to the station When
you arrive at the end of your journey
you go to the baggage car and claim
your baggage This is one reason so
many travellers take a servant with
them through India. Besides, at ho-
tells, a servant saves a traveller more
than he costs, for the hotel servants
expect no tips from a traveller with a
personal servant. In addition to this,
a. personal servant manages all dnan-
cial transactions with natives and
saves his employer money.
When my man put on his special
dining room uniform tonight, I did
not know him. When he began brush

rascal looking for a tip" but finally he
spoke. and I recognized his bad Eng

BEST SOIL FOR POULTRY.
Valuable Pointers Regarding Soil and
Breeds Ada pied.

breeds AOapICo.
writer to the Farmer and Stock
breeder says: Ideal land for poultry IS
made up by having nice loamy sur
face soil, together with a gravelly sub
soil. A nice loan promotes insect life.
and We all know how fond poultry are
OF insects for food. Therefore, they
will always be busy on loamy soil
insect hunting, and thus our egg sup
ply will be increased, and chickens will
thrive better. Next, to turn to the SUBJ
soil, We see at once how beneficial it is
to have this composed of gravel, be-
cause by having gravelly subsoin the
surface soil is kept drained, and so is
warm and dry, both OF which are so
beneficial to success in poultry-keeping
AS one cannot always select his soil he
should know the breeds best adapted to
the soil he has
One OF the most suitable breeds for
heavy land would be a good utility
strain Of Plymouth Rocks, or, as they
are more commonly called today,
Barred Rocks
For medium, well-drained land, in
not too exposed position, there is moth
ing to equal good utility strain of Wy
andottes -
For light land we have a great choice
OF breeds, as almost any breed will do
well on a light, we'll drained soil, but
first Of all the Dorking must be named
as being especially suitable, but We
look upon the Dorking primarily as a
table bird, therefore as a non-sitting,
laying variety there is nothing to equal
the Leghorn family, as on light soil
they do remarkably we'll
Minorcas are by no means to be de-
spised, as after the Leghorn they a~e
one OF our very best utility breeds, es-
pecially it the space be limited, as they
do remarkably we'll in confined runs
in fact, they are called backyard
fowls, simply because they are SO large
ly kept by poor people and others with
limited space; but for light soil they
are hard to beat as layers. The great
est fault of clay land for poultry is
that it may be described as impervious
to water; that is, when the rain falls
upon surface soil of clay it stands in
puddles, and therefore drains very
slowly-in fact heavy clay land is not
desirable for poultry or any other class
OF farm stock, as it is always cold and
damp.

FEED FOR WORKING HORSES
Oats the Ideal Grain Food With Corn
in Moderation.

Oats the Ideal Grain Food With Corn
in Moderation.
We should always remember that
oats form the ideal grain food for the
horse, writes Prof. w. A. Henry Of
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
The kernel proper contains a large
amount OF nutriment. The bulls sur
rounding the grain give the material
bulk, tending thereby to prevent
overlooking, and at the same time
rendering the food light and easy of
digestion by the fluids of the stomach.
Where horses are hard worked one
should depart from the Oat ration
with caution, and learn by experience
what can be accomplished. The farm
er might we'll try bran and gluten
feed as partial substitutes for oats
Remember that bran is light and par
TALLY inert, so that it may take the
place OF small portion of the hay
formerly consumed. On the other
hand, it furnishes to the horse prob
ably three-fif or three-fourths as
much nutriment as the same weight
OF oats. In using gluten feed remem-
Der that it is considerably higher in
protein than oats and almost or quite
as rich as the carbohydrates. In the
trial reduce the oat allowance one
third and substitute mixture of bran
and gluten feed equal parts by weight
Remember, too. that corn can al.
ways be fed to horses with satisfac-
ton. There is limit, however. to
its use. and in such cases as these the
supply should not be large For one
feed each day allow a couple of
pounds of corn is substituted for the
same of oats. Remember that corn
causes horses to sweat if fed in large
quantities. 1t is better winter than
summer food. Corn is a strong, hearty
food and is much appreciated by hard
worked horses. because it does fur
nish SO much energy. In the south
ern part of the corn belt horses live
almost wholly upon corn. Farther
north where oats are the main crop
they subsist almost entirely on the
latter grain. A combination of the
two usually will prove more economi
cal and better than to feed either so
exclusively as is stomary.-Farmers
Voice.

FEEDING by Machinery

The latest wrinkle is TO feed chicke..s
for market by machinery. The feeding
is done twice day with patent liquid
ems in a day. The food is forced
through tube by means of a Suction
pump, which in turn is operated by a
foot pedal. The tube is about ten inches
in length and reaches through the
chickens mouth into it's crop. When
the crop is full. the flow of liquid food
steps instantly, and the chicken is not
injured in the least. This feeding by
machinery is done chiefly in the prep
aration OF roasters for the market and
for finishing the fattening of broilers.

Ages of Horses by Their Teeth.
At two and half years the middle
pair of the milk set is replaced by a
permanent pair with deep black cavi-
ties, and full sharp edge. At three. to
three and one-half years, the next
pair drop, and at four, to four and a
half years, the two external incisors
are lost At five years the horse has
his permanent set of teeth figure 2.
The teeth grow in length as the
horse becomes older. and are also
worn away about one-twelfth of an
inch every year, gradually defacing
the pits as the teeth wear down to a
level with their bottom
At six years old the black cavities
disappear from the center pair of nip
pers, as is shown by figure 8. At sew
en- years the cavities of the next pair
disappear, and at the age of eight
years the corner teeth loose their cav
tiles and the teeth then appear as
shown by figure 4.

Cause of Soft-She1Ied Euus.

If the hens are laying soft-shelled
eggs, provide liberal amount of char
coal where they can have free access
to it. Some breeders think that over
fat hens are responsible for the soft
shelled eggs. While this is fact, ODE
sity is not the absolute cause. Lack of
grit and proper exercise will produce
more soft-shelled eggs than over-fat
hens. Aged hens will become over-fat
sufficient to produce bad results, AID
therefore that difficulty can be easily
overcome by selling them and retain
ing only the young hens.

Wire Fencing for Hogs.

About the best thing that has
struck the hog raiser in the past ten
years is woven wire fencing. When
barb wire and boards were depended
upon for fencing the hogs were for
ever and eternally. getting out Just
when it was most inconvenient. Now
when pigs are shut up they stay For
the same money, too, much more
ground can be fenced in than when
wire and lumber were the cheapest
and besides much less time is requir-
ed to put up the strands.

How to Tell the Horses Aue

A horses age is judged principally
by the incisive teeth or "nippers," OF
which there are six in each jaw,
broad, thin and sharp in the colt, but
with fiat crowns marked in the CEN
ter by a hollow disk, in the horse.
Figure / in the cut represents the
milk set at the age of six months
These milk teeth have grooves or fur
rows on their front surface. which
disappear from the middle pair at the
end of one year, from the next pair
in two years, and from the outside
pair in three years.

In effect is as unhealthfui as if the
