until it has removed every safeguard
but one that was originally designed
for the protection of the public.
To-day it is before congress with a
measure that proposes to remove the
last of these safeguards and allow
national banks of the country to pour
200 million dollars of notes to private
corporations into the circulating med
ium of the country without a guar
antee of any kind for their redemption
other than the personal liability of
the issuing corporations, backed by
a bare three cents deposited with the
secretary of the treasury for each dol
lar SO to be issued.
Instead of an effort on the part Of
congress to comply with both the let
ter and the spirit of the constitution,
as interpreted by the highest court
of the nation, and supply the country
with a currency that is in fact what
it purports to be, the effort has con-
stantly been to withdraw, as far as
possible, from circulation what little
lawful money must necessarily be
had, and fill it's place with the illegi-
innate promissory notes of private
corporations to circulate as money
for the personal gain of individuals
instead of the general welfare of the
great mass of our people.
LET us hope that the democratic
party will some day grasp this most
effective of all the opportunities with
in it's reach Let it insert on it's ban
ner this rallying cry, The Money
Value of the National Credit for
Those Who Uphold It, and then, in
the language of the greatest of Amer
lean heroes, fight it out on that line
if it takes al summer AS certain
as the victory that crushed the most
gigantic rebellion of all the ages will

to restore to the masses of the ma
ton that which of right belongs to

in the starling's morality never yet
has been found. He is a thief who
takes delight in his thievery. The
man who brought the starting over the
water probably found a redeening
trait in the birds voice, which, while
thin, is sweet, possessing a peculiar
liquid quality, which makes it akin
to pure melody The English spar
row cannot sing, and therein lies all
the advantage which this country
AS soon as it was found that the
startling took readily to the New York
climate and that they were multiply
ing, the biological survey people sue
ceeded in securing the passage of a
bill to forbid the transportation of
the birds from one state to another.
The starting is nuisance in one way
and an absolute pest in another. 1t
lives in colonies and pre-empts church
towers and structures of all kinds in
which there are creyices. The nests
are bulky, and the DETACHMENT of the
building in which the nests are placed
is in itself nuisance enough to bring
the feathered immigrant condemna-
ton.
The starting has a fondness for
fruit The particular varieties of
fruit which he loves are not plentiful
near New York City, and for this
reason no sharp attention has been
called by the farmers to the damage
which the birds are capable of in
flicting. Already, however, the starl
ings have overlapped into Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey, and it is only
a question of short time before the
company with the sparrow focks all
over the United States. Where there
were tens of the birds, there are
now thousands, and, like all other
creatures, when one foraging place is
bare or is not sufficiently productive
for the support of great numbers,
there is a departure for new fields. Ex-
termination has been suggested. If
determination had been begun in New
York three years ago it could have
been carried to the successful end of
death for all the starlings, but it is
too late now.
About the tine that the starting
came to America a few English sky
larks arrived. The skylarks have had
a hard time of it holding their own,
| but some of them survived, and now
there are a few families of larks ac-
climated and sturdily earning live
lihood and singing their wav to favor
on Long Island.

it is a relief to find a coop evenly
balanced up in size and color. A
really decent breath.
In these days of cooperative cream
cries, grain elevators and other things
helpful to the producer, it is queer
that the most important and biggest
industry Of all is neglected. Every
town Or poultry raising community
would advance the popularity of poul-
try and eggs as food and make mo-
ney while doing it. It can be op-
Grated as individuals or as a COM
pany.
Let me say here that after a gro
ceryman has handled few cases Of
eggs put up as I have suggested, the
matter Of price becomes secondary
to keeping that kind in stock. The
cleaner and more attractive appear
ance gives his store prestige instead
of making an eyesore to tasty custom
ers. There is nothing more handsome
than stock of clean eggs in attractive
cartoons, there is a responsiveness in
filthy stock of eggs.

In conclusion, buy from the re-

The Florida agriculturist., 1907-12-25
Cheap Stock.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Poultry Breeder writes as follows:
Generally. speaking, it does not pay
to buy cheap stock. Of course, there
is cheap stock and cheap stock; one
bird may be really cheap at S. or $40,
while another may be dear at $780,
1t depends on results whether a
bird is cheap or dear; but in nearly
all cases cheap bird will not produce
the desired results-then it is worth
less. Silk cannot be bought at the
price Of cotton, so naturally choice
birds cannot be bought cheap. They
are in great demand and bring choice
prices, while their poor brothers and
sisters go begging for buyers at ST
and $50 each.
And here is where a lot of shady
work is done in this grand old poultry
business that we love. Breeders, most
ly amateurs, trying to get fine birds
cheap, will write as follows: Dear
S1r-I saw your ad in - [ am
going to get a pen Of Buff Leghorns,
four hens and one cock, Of the man
who sells it cheapest. Hoping to hear
from you sOOn,' etc. Another writes:
"Glve me your very lowest prices on
three pullets and cock-Buf Leg
horns. They must score o2 or over,
and be fine in every way. I am writ
ing to about twenty other breeders
and will buy from the man who makes
me the biggest offer. Write soon,"
etc. The parties are practically say
ing, "We are suckers looking for a
bite" Some shark will take them in
He will offer them some of the grand
est birds that ever grew, scoring as
high as is desired, at $I.25 or $3.50
each, and they will bite quick, and
get left with an apology for birds
to show for their money. They mate
them, and as results are far from sa-
tsfactory, they blame the breed and
breeders in general, and become dis
couraged with the business.
Responsible breeders will supply
male birds that will make fine breed
ers at from So to S. each; and in the
selection Of a male bird it does not
pay to be too economical. Better pay
more and secure a good bird than
buy cheap and regret it at the end

but when we do secure one he is worth

Keeping the flock in good health this
fall and winter will make eggs hatch
better next year and make the young
birds grow off more vigorously; mean
while the old birds will be giving bet
ter profits.
Crossing different breeds makes
scrubs more often than anything else.
Each breed has been developed for
some particular end, and very few
should attempt to do better than to in
troduce new blood into their focks by
getting breeding birds Of the same pure
breeds they are raising
Too many males in a flock are not
conducive to highly fertile eggs, and
the more sprightly breeds of chickens
do not need as many males as the
heavier breeds do for a given number
Of hens. Eat the useless males and
keep them from eating what the hens
might convert into eggs.
No flock will produce prize winners
all the time or even most of the time.
Those who purchase breeders or buy
eggs to hatch prize winners should not
expect too much or get discouraged,
but learn to Gull closely and keep try
ing. Those who have long experience
have done this very thing, and the be-
glnner cannot hope to find a short cut
to prize Winners.-Progressive Farmer.

Buv Some Guineas.

In buying new poultry stock this
fall, don't overlook the fact that
guinea fowls are both profitable and
useful. For table use they have few
superiors and their flesh has almost
the same flavor as a prairie chicken.
While their eggs are small, they have
a delightful flavor and will find a ready
sale. They are also valuable as guar
dians of the poultry house. At the
slightest approach Of danger they will
set up a cry that will either frighten
the intruder or bring help from the
farm house.
