THE POULTRY.
More attention should be given

More attention should be given to
water fowls.
The poultry yard, as well as the
poultry house, needs to be kept clean.
When fowls need a tonic, there
are some who put a few drops of
tincture of iron into their drinking
troughs.
Tobacco stems covered with straw
are an excellent preventative of in
sect breeding. especially when the
hens are setting.
Feed the fowls about to be shipped
nothing but hard grain the day pre-
vious. They will carry better and
arrive in a better condition.
So long as good prices can be OBJ
tanned for broilers it will nearly al
ways be found best to sell at this
age, or either to feed to maturity and
sell in the fall or winter.
Poultry keeping can be made an
auxiliary to other pursuits without
Infringing upon the time of the keep
er and will bring in a handsome re-
turn for the food and care given
them.

THE HONEY COMB PACKING CASE
wood" as second class. When this tar
if was first printed, some of the roads
were inclined to consider that all
comb honey in shipping cases with
glass front was in glass, and, conse-
Quently, the freight rate was pushed
up one notch; but after considerable
explanation we showed that, evidently,
such classification referred to honey in
bottles;- that comb honey in shipping
case with glass fronts ought to go as
second class because the percentage
of glass was very small to the amount
of wood. All the railroads, I think.
now accept shipping cases with glass
fronts as second class. But the bee
keeper must not make the mistake of
having such honey billed Gin glass" or
else it will go at first class rates.
The Aspinwall case is very unique
one; and if the discrimination against
glass fronts had continued the all
wood case with the lettering would
have been the solution.
The atwood case can be made con-
s.ierably cheaper, and 1 do not know
why it would not be just as good. If
the freight handler cannot read he
ought to be bounced from the payroll.
Shipping cases with glass fronts have
been broken into, and the fine cakes
of honey despoiled by some big fin
gers, time and time again. The Aspin-
wall case would prevent anything Of
this kind.
The arrangement of the no-drip
cleats in mortises or slots in the ends
of the case is very unique. 1t could
not, however, be very well applied to
glass-front case showing four Sec
tons six deep. But where the cases
are two-row, like the sample here
mortising for the cleats.

CHAPTER xxx.
SUBHI SADIK.

The dawn of new day was craving
over the capital city, and the newsboys
were crying Justify in the streets, when
David Kent felt his way up the dark
staircases of the Kittleton building to
knock at the door of Judge Oliver
Marston's rooms on the top floor. He
was the bearer of tidings, and he made
no more than formal excuse for the
unseemly hour when the door was
opened by the Acknowledgements.
Il am sorry to disturb you, Judge
Marston," he began, when he had
closed the door at his back and was
facing the tall thin figure in flannel
dressing gown and slippers, 'but
Imagine I'm only few minutes ahead
of the crowd. Have you heard the
news of the night?"
II have heard nothing, Mr.. Kent.
Have a ar?"-passing the box of
unutterable stogies.
Thank you; not before breakfast"
was the hasty reply. Then, without
another word of preface: "Judge Mar
ston, for the time being you are the
governor of the state, and I have come
to"
zone moment" interrupted his lis
tener. There are some stories that
read better for foreword, however
brief. What has happened?"
This: last night it was the purpose
OF Governor Bucks and Receiver Gull
lord to go to CASTOR by special train.
In some manner, which has not yet
been fully explained, there was a con-
fusion of orders. Instead of proceed
ing eastward, the special was switched
to the tracks of the Western Division;
was made the first section of the fast
mail, which had orders to run through
without stop. You can imagine the
result"
Marston got upon his feet slowly and
began pacing the length of the long
room. Kent waited, and the shrill
cries of the newsboys fioated up and in
through the open windows. When the
judge finally came back to his chair
the saturnine face was gray and hag-
gard.
Il hope it was an accident that can
be clearly proved he said; and a
moment later: You spoke of Bucks
and Guilford; were there others in
the private carp
Two others; Halkett, and the CIV
ernor's private secretary"
And were they all killed?'
A great light broke in upon Kent
when he saw how Marston had misap-
pretended. Also, he saw how much it
would simplify matters if he should
be happy enough to catch the ball in
the reactionary bound.
They are all alive and uninjured,
to the best of my knowledge and be-
lief; though understand that one OF
them narrowly escaped lynching at fh.
hands Of an excited mob.

POWER OF SONG.

Sing from the fullness of your heart,
Sing from the Joy of living;

Sing while you work-'tis labor's creed,

Sing to the praise of beauty.
Sing in the morning when you rise,
Sing In the gloom of even:
Sing messages to Paradise,

He knows that the crown-sheet of the
fire-box is bare, and that any moment
it may give down and the end will
come. Yet his gauntlcted hand never
falls from the throttle-bar to the air
cock, and his eyes never leave the bub-
Bile appearing at long intervals in the
heel of the water-glass.
Shovel has stopped firing, and is
hanging out of his window for the
straining look ahead. Suddenly he
drops to the footplate to grip Calla-
hans arm
''See!" he says. "They have set the
switch to throw us in on the siding!"
In one motion the fiutter of the ex-
haust ceases, and the huge ten-wheeler
buckles to the sudden setting of the
brakes. The man standing in tie
forward vestibule of the Naught-seven
lowers his weapon. Apparently it is
not going to be necessary to kill the
engineer after all.
But Galatians nerve has failed him
only for the moment. There is one
chance in ten thousand that the cir
communicating side track is empty;
one and one only, and no way to make
sure of it. Beyond the station, as Cal
lahan well knows, the siding comes
again into the main line, and the
switch is a straight-rail safety" Once
again the thought of his motherless
child fiickerS into the engineers brain;
then he releases the air and throws his
weight backward upon the throttle
bar. Two gaSps and a heartbeat de-
eide it; and before the man in the YES
| tibule can level his weapon and fire,
the one-car train has shot around the
station, heaving and lurching over the
uneven rails of the siding, and grinding
shrilly over the points of the safety
switch to race on the down grade to
Megilp.
At the mining-camp the station is n
darkness save for the google eyes of an
automobile drawn up beside the plat
form, and deep silence reigns but for
the muff1ed, irregular thud of the auto
cars motor. But the beam of the ,010's
headlight shows the small station
building massed by men, a score tif
them posing for a spring to the plat

to seat beside the chauffeur in the

MEN OF HIGHEST ABILITY AND INTEGRITY.

There is no doubt that the new law raises the
standard of the commission and in the future men
selected for it will have to be of the highest ability
and integrity. In the past this commission has
at times been regarded a very convenient place
in which to land "lame duck" or political
has been" who had faeo of reelection to some
other public Office For some years it had been
considered as convenient harbor of refuge for
politicians and was regarded the legitimate
patronage of the big political leaders.
This has changed now and with the added re-
sponsibility provided for by the new law of
the highest grade will have to be selected. 1t is
fortunate that the members of the old commission
of five men are not disturbed, but will go right
along serving out their terms. These five gen
tlemen or at least four of them, are men of tried
ability and their work during the past few

MR.. ROOSEVELT A GOOD PARTY MAN.

This will be busy season for the 'spellbind-
ers" of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet. No secret is
made of the intention of three four of the
cabinet members actively to engage in this years
congressional campaign. The president feels in
way that his administration is trial and he
looks to the people to indorse it and particularly
to indorse the policies which congress enacted
into law on his recommendation. The president
despite all that has been said and written about
his reform ideas, is pretty good party man and
is honest enough to express the hope that a Re-
publican house of representatives will be reflect
ed. He does not object to his cabinet officers
going into the campaign, and it is not improb-
able that he himself will make one two
speeches of a somewhat political character.

1t is somewhat amusing to note the jealousy
that exists in the little group of statesmen who
have their political lightning rods elevated to
catch the presidential bolt in 1908 These men
who aspire to the presidency are thoroughly
human and they watching each other like
hawks. While for public consumption their words
and acts are altogether disinterested in private
conversation they indulge in some pretty severe
criticisms of each other. There has been great
anxiety among these candidates to find out on
whom the administration favor would rest. The
developments of the past few weeks seem to have
settled that point and it appears to be the
field against Secretary Taft, for the latter is
looked on here in Washington President Roose-
velt's choice for the Republican nomination two

HAVE ALMOST AGREED.

is the Only Stumbling Block
in the Way.
special to Daily Herald

special to Daily Herald
Des Moines, April 1S.-With all tie
scales settled as predicted this morn
ing, the joint conference of operators
ana miners up to noon today were still
engaged in the discussion over the re-
naming issues of fines in case OF
strikes due to the miners wrongful
action, and Of the assurance that the
scale, should it be less in competing
districts, could be lessened here. The
fight is generally admitted to be a
purely formal one and settlement OF
both questions to the satisfaction or
the miners is expected. The Iowa
miners will not give the assurance de-
sired by operators on this last point.
Frazier Question Settled.
Practically all of yesterdays ses-
sion was spent in the discussion OF
conditions at Frazier, where the min
ers have insisted that the coal is of
standard quality and that as result
they are entitled to a higher scale
than has been paid heretofore. The
operators contended that conditions
are inferior to those In other mines,
that as result the cost OF production
to the operator is greater in proper
tion of the amount or coal mined and
that the owning companies are as
result entitled to lower scale.
The result was that the miners f.
nally conceded the position taken by
the operators and accepted restor-
ation Of the 1903 scale, which provided
for price of 95 cents in this district
against the claim of $1.10 made oy
the miners.
This question out of the way, a
scale was quickly made for the ball
anee of the Fourth subdistrict.
The advance is uniform one Of
5.s4 per cent throughout the district
for coal mining, whih tine same prices
obtain for day labor as nave been
granted in the other districts.
The operators yesterday were in
formed what the position of the min
ers would be with reference to the
penalizing of miners participating in
local shutdowns and suspensions, and
were disposed to favor it. The prob
abilities were there would be no seri-
Gus contention on this point. This
brought the joint conference up to
the question of what assurances the
miners will give the operators against
the possible adoption of lower scales
in competitive districts than the Iowa
scale. The operators took the posi-
tive stand that they must be guaran-
teed a revision to meet concessions
favorable to the other fields, and
seemed disposed to stand out on this
point, even to the point or preventing
the signing of scale.

FEDERAL WORK is DELAYED
SCARCITY OF LABOR Is CHECK ON
RECLAMATION.
Contractors Decline to Bid, Since Many
Of Their Number Have Bean
Forced Into Bankruptcy.

Washington, April 1S.-The scarcity
of labor in the northwest, the in
crease in the price of materials and
also in the rate of wages, has caused
great delay in carrying out govern
ment reclamation projects. This state
ment was made to the house commit
tee on irrigation of arid lands Mon
day by N. H. Savage, division en-
gineer of the reclamation service for
northwestern Wyoming, Montana and
North Dakota.
In a recent instance in North Dako-
Ia bids were advertised to secure the
building of reclamation works aggre-
eating a cost of $150,000 and not a
single bid was received.
Mr.. Savage stated to the committee
that in projects already contracted
for the government was getting its
work done at less cost than railroad
work of the same character in the
same localities because when the gov
ernment began its irrigation work
bids were received from contractors
of every character, the only requisite
being the giving of Sufficient bond.
Many of these first contra etors took
work so low tn tn y have since
failed The rail-. Dads receive bids
from only selec, few and have had
to pay more for the work.
NotwithstandiEs these adverse con-
ditions Engineer Savage reported
substantial progress in the work.
