A BIG INDUSTRY

1t is no insult to be called chicken
crank or poultryman. Those who
have allied themselves with the little
hen have joined forces with an in
dustry that makes gold mining sink
into insignificance.
The poultry and hen business in
the United States amounts to $780,
100000 year while the hog can only
root up the sum of $1S6,529,035. Yet
the hog is known as the mortgage
litter of the country-and he is that.
1t is not to belittle the hog but to
help you appreciate the hen that we
make this comparison. But the poul-
try business is nothing in comparison
with what it can easily be made in
the next ten years if the experiment
stations and farmers institutes would
show the hen up at her true value.
Nearly all stations are reporting on
hogs, cattle and sheep, and only two
or three actually trying to find out
what can be done with the hen.
Every farmers institute program
discusses hogs, COWS, corn and crops,
while few eyer give one hour to the
discussion of the poultry interests.
For the amount of care and food
given what on the farm makes such
showing in profits as the insignifi-
cant, much-neglected hen? Give her
better attention for she merits it. /.

CONSERVE THE MOISTURE

There is no knowing what season
will be, wet or dry. 1t is always
changing We know the future only
by what the past has been The
chances are that in the localities
where there has been two or three
seasons of excessive moisture that 1T
will get back to normal, or even the
opposite extreme Except on farms
where the soil is very retentive and
not properly drained, 1t is always safe
to save moisture for fear that 1t will
be short next summer.
When the snow meIts and spring
rains seem to soak the ground many
feet deep it is almost impossible TO
get some farmers to see that there
ever will be time, IN July or August.
when the crops will wither and the
ground crack open. The way to check
out moisture from the bank next
summer is to check 1t getting out
when spring comes. Plow early and
keep the fields worked mellow and
moisture cannot evaporate as fast as
when left unplowed.
It has been estimated that an Gal
crop uses 522 tons or 476 inches OF
water to produce one ton OF dry mat
ter, corn uses 300 tons or 2.64 inches,
potatoes uses 422 tons or 1913 inches
and red clover 452 tons or inches oil
water to produce one ton OF dry mat

THE GARDENERS FRIEND

The common gray toad lives en-
tirely On animals and insects that are
harmful to vegetation-as worms, in
sect larvae and mice. It's tongue is
well adapted to the work in hand,
and when, on the first warm even
ings of spring you hear, mingled with
the rustling of dry ieaves and grass,
the low musical trills of the male toad,
you may know that all the adult toads
are on their way to the nearest pond
to lay their eggs.
Should you go to the pond the next
morning, you would see numbers of
them padding about in the water,
many of the males trilling at the top
Of their voices. The mass of eggs
laid by a toad is remarkable. One
author states that a toad can lay a
mass of eggs eight or ten times as
large as it's whole body. This is ex-
planned by the swelling of the jelly,
to which the eggs are attached, when
it comes in contact with the water.
First the eggs elongate, then the tiny
| fiat tadpoles hatch and feed on the
jelly-like matter surrounding them
hind legs appear, fore legs come, the
tail is absorbed, ana the little toads
emerge from the waterfall within

WORMS IN PIGS

According to DIR. Peters of the Ne
braska experiment station, there is
nothing else better for worms in the
lungs of hogs than creosote. 1t cleans
out the intestinal tract. 1t can be
administered in the following manner
with the best success.
Coal creosote one ounce; water SO
ounces. One pint of water weighs Is
ounces. One ounce of the mixture is
the dose for full-grown animal and
is best administered with the morning
feed.
If it is necessary to drench the ami
nal, use a drenching tube made by
taking an ordinary tin funnel and a
rubber tube three feel long, Is to "
inch in diameter.
Insert the lower end of the funnel
in this rubber tube, place the rubber
tube into the animals mouth, and
allow it to bite Oh 1t, and pour the
drench into the funnel.
It is better to place piece of metal
on the end of the rubber piece so
that the animal may bite on it con-
tinually, without stopping the flow
by pinching the rubber tube.

ter. That is to say that so much
fall plowed land held nearly 2.5
per cent more water than unplowed
land adjacent, the test being taken in
the spring. Neither field had re-
ceived any cultivation up to May IA.
This means that about six pounds OF
water per square foot had silently and
unnoticably left the unplowed field.
In this case 1876 tons of water per
acre were lost. Ii the fall plOwed
field had been disced early in the
spring and cultivation continued until
May IA, the difference would have
been, a great deal more than thirteen
tons of water per acre between the
fall plowed and the unploWed fields.
When early spring psowIng is COM
pared with late blowing, a similar
difference Is seen in the water con-
tent OF the soil.

ALCOHOL MOTORS

Alcohol is increasing in popularity
as a motive power in Europe, partic-
ularly in Germany, where it is be-
ing widely used on the farm. 1t is
convenient, safe and clean. 1t is re-
ported that raw alcohol can be pro-
duced in Germany from potatoes for
Is cents a gallon by processes SO
simple that the farmer can do it him
self. Alcohol motors have been per-
fected and machinery for distilling
improved, and the German govern
ment has encouraged the industry by
removing the taxes from such alco-
hol as is used for technical purposes.

little more than month from the
time the eggs are laid
In Europe toads are advertised for
sale and gardeners buy them in large
numbers. Boys catch them in nets,
which is easily done in the evening
twilight When placed in garden
they seldom leave, but soon find a
burrow under board or stone, or at
the root of tree or shrub, and make
themselves at home.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 15.-For
the fortieth time since its work was

day. There have been many parades
dazzling and bewildering but never
has there been one more appealing

The Grand Army Of the Republic has
often marched before and will march
until its members can march no more,
and then it will commence its greatest
march of all through time into eternity
and into it's ordained reward.
Inspiring to Look Upon,
The parade was a notable affair as
such things go, well handled, quick
moving and inspiring to look upon. It
was day of pride for the old soldiers

a success was taken by the authorities.

OF GETTING SCALP
OPENS CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIT
TLEFIELD OF MAINE NEXT
SATURDAY
Joe Cannon Is Also on Blacklist, But
I He Shows Confidence in His District
BY Making All Plans For Campaign
Ing For Others.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 15.-Presi.
dent Gompers, the big chief of the
American Federation of Labor, takes
the warpath Thursday, and is conf
dent that he will secure the scalp of
of Representative Littlefield of the sec
ond Maine district. He will first pitch
his tent at Lewiston on Saturday. On
Monday he will make his second
speech in the district at Rumford
Falls; Tuesday he will speak at Liver
more Falls; Wednesday at Bath,
Thursday at Waldoboro, Friday at
Rockland and Saturday at Vinalhaven
In addition to these set speeches, Mr..
Gompers will deliver noon-hour ad-
dresses to workmen.
LaborIng Men Aroused.
Reports received at federation head
quarters in this city show that the Ia.
Dor organizations in the district rea-
lie the Importance Of the fight, and
promises have been received that the
labor vote will be cast solidly against
the congressman. Mr.. Gompers says
that Speaker CaLnon's visit to the dis
trict to aid Mn. Littlefield will do much
to solidify the labor vote against him.
The federation will not publish its
blacklist Of congressman, but as those
regarded unfriendly to labor are re-
nominated the state and congressional
committees will be notified that the in,
duence Of organized labor will be e1-
erted to encompass their defeat.
Cannon Not to Fight.
Speaker Cannon intends to give pos.
tive evidence of his fearlessness Of or.
ganized labor this fall by making no
contest whatever for reelection in his
district, the eighteenth Illinois. So
confident of reelection is he that he
intends to devote all of his time dur
Ing the congressional campaign in the
districts of other republicans who are
certain to have a hard time retaining
their seats in the house. The speak
er will spend nearly two months or
the stump. and 1t is expected will be
of material assistance to many Of "his
boys" who are in trouble this year
The Speakers nominating convention
will be held on Thursday next, and
after he addresses the delegates his
district will see nothing of him until
election day.
Not Worried by Gompers.
President Gompers has put "Uncle
Joe" on his blacklist but that fact does
not seem to be worrying the speaker
in the least. Mr.. Cannon intends tc
point out what he considers the falla
cies OF Gompers' attitude toward him
self and other republicans who have
incurred the animosity of the fedora
tion. The speaker Is on the federation's
blacklist because he used his influence
in the house in preventing the passage
Of the anti-injunction bill and a more
stringent eight-hour law as applied tc
work on government contracts, pei
measures of Mr.. Gompers.

Present-To AnnuI Charter.

New York, Aug. ia new twist
was given the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
troubles yesterday afternoon when
several clashes in authority occurred
between deputy sheriffs from Sheriff
Flaherty's office and the police depart
ment, represented by Police Inspector
Cross. In three instan, os deputy sher-
IFS 1nterfered on behalf Of the recalci-
trant passengers during attempted
ejectments from cars of the Culver
line. In each instance they drew the
fire OF the police, with resultant con-
fusion OF authority that"made the prob
lem of collecting a second fare from
passengers a complex one.
Trouble on the elevated trains of the
Culver line was of an intermittent
character all day long, three or four
men being put off every train bound
for Coley Island at Neck road, where
the demand for q second fare was
made.
After the arrest last night OF six in
spectors on charges of assault in the
third degree, the company shut off en-.
hrely all of its surface lines leading to
Coney Island, taking the position that
this was the only way to stop the riot
ing.
The elevated and express train SER
vices to the seashore resort were aug
mented.
Dozen Hurt In Collision.
A rear end collision between two
trolley cars on the West End railroad
near Coney Island yesterday resulted
in the injury of dozen persons, all
of whom, with one exception. went to
their homes after having their injuries
attended to. Mary Graham was taken
to hospital. The accident occurred
at sharp curve.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the
trouble with passengers refusing to
pay a second nickei started. All the
surface cars withdrawn Monday night
had been started out on their regular
routes. A Lorimer street car was stop.
Thomas and William Rice brothers
declined to pay a second fare. Will.
liam Rice tainted when elected from
the car and was taken to a reception
hospital.
Ihe inspector who was responsible
for his ejectment was arrested and
taken to the Coney Island station.
Surface cars over eight lines were
withdrawn about noon. All the rest of
the days troubles were confined to the
Culver and Sea Beach lines
Petitions to AnnuI Charter.
Albany, N. Y, Aug. 15.-There was
received at the Office Of the attorney
general today a petition from William
j. Foley of Brooklyn, requesting that
an action be commenced to annul the
charter Of the Brooklyn Heights Rail
road company, which operates the
Brooklyn traction lines, for charging
10 cents fare on it's lines to Coney
Island. The petitioner asserts that he
was elected from one of the cars OF
the company for refusing to pay more
than 5 cents.
