TWO STORY Henhouses.

Most two story poultry houses are
not used as 1t was planned they should
be, says writer In Farm-Poultry. On
a small lot the yard room is more Of a
problem than house room. A two story
house might be an advantage In win
ter. but in summer the number OF
fowls kept would more likely have to
be according to yard capacity. Gen
orally in a two story house one story
Is inconvenient. Sometimes both are.
Common experience fayors the one
story house.

Overtake Your Flock.
Nothing is 50 dangerous or so ant to
be contaminated as the drinking YES.
sci for man or beast, says the Feather
Poison sown in the stream soon spreads
pestllence among those who may con.
sumo its contents down the waterway
for many miles. Contamination of the
water fountain or drinking vessels Of
poultry is the most prolific cause Of
the spread of disease. A fowl with the
roup may drink but once from the
fountain used by other fowls and
spread the disease throughout the
whole flock Gapes, roup and conta-
gious diseases of all kinds are carried
from one to another through the in
fected water fountains. A fresh wa
ter supply is most valuable, but wa
ter kept in an infected vessel is dan
eerous and destructive. One may al
ways feel absolutely certain that the
infection has been removed from yes
sci that has been thoroughly scalded or
heated to almost burning point upon
the stove. Nothing is more certain to
remove all danger than this treatment
and a thorough cleansing with a brush
or broom is more than likely to prove
successful. Proper rinsmg when no
lurking danger is about is sufficient
Never allow an infected drinking YES

Next to this In point Of danger is
sour feed trough that has been gener-
ally used by all fowls and left each
time thereafter to become sour. Fer
mentation begins. and the destructive
germs growing therein may spread
pestilence of chicken pox, roup or any
other disease that may be prevalent in
the neighborhood This can be easily
avoided by thoroughly cleansing the
feed troughs and turning them upside
down each time the poultry has been
fed.

Feeding the Milk Maker.

The well bred youngster that is i'm
little better than a scrub animal. But
If the dam Is properly nourished dur
ing the nursing period and the young
animal subsequently fed literally 1t
will attain the normal size gifts an
cestors and display all the leading
characteristics of the breed to which 1t
belongs.
A New Workers. Plan.
j. S. Woodward, the New York
dairyman, has no set way of feeding
1t depends upon the cost of feedstuns
In the markets, he says. Sometimes
can buy bran cheaply. sometimes cot
tonseed meal. l watch the market, buy
those feeds that contain the elements
want and then make up ration
Last year l bought carload of dried
distillers' (not brewers) grains. This
food contains Il large percentage Of
protein Is very digestible and is cheap
Keep the Feed Up.
Some men start out In the fall with
excellent feeding rations, says Kim
balls Dairy Farmer They bring the
cows In from the pasture and give
them a variety and quality of feed
which cannot help but produce good
milk. These conditions last until the
feed bins begin to get low, then por-
lions of the ration are cut out, and the
feeds begin to get smaller. BY the time
the holidays are past the bottoms Of
some of the bins are in sight. These
men think that economy in feeding
means cutting the feed bill down. To
an extent this Is true, but economy Of
production and scant feeding never go
hand In hand. Start well In the fail
and keep the ration up until the cows
are on the pasture next spring. If you
must buy. buy. If your cows are good
ones you cannot afford to pinch them
through the winter simply to save a
few dollars. You will lose on this
years milk and on the flow of future
years. This is especially true If the
cows are young. 1t would be better to
keep fewer COWS and to keep them
right than to try to winter more than
you can feed properly.
The Need of Salt.
When animals are heavily fed on
grain, as In fattening. milk or energy
production, certain excess of salt Is
called for because grains are usually
rather deficient in salt and often rich
in constituents that stimulate the ex-
erection of salt; hence when an animal
Is well fed on grain salt must be. sup
piled regularly and In sufficient guam
titles. Many animal ailments may be
traced to lack of salt in the ration,
says a writer in the National Stock
man and Farmer. Watch in the au-
tumn when grain and hay appear plen-
tifr2 and feeding is liberal and see II
the veterinarian does not have an ex-
cess of Indigestion and collie cases and
then talk TO him confiGentially. and he
will tell you that the odds are that the
farmer saved a cents worth of salt
and paid a dollar for medicine and
sometimes lost an animal.

Nothing is better for growing stock
than dry bran. Hoppers Of this might
be probably placed about the ranges
where the young stock run. A hopper
with hood that protects 1t from the
rain and is SO constructed that the
fowls cannot get their feet therein to
scratch about is best for feeding the
dry bran

lust Before Christmas

It is plain to those who have frequent ed shopping streets that there is to be 1t merry Christmas after all. Some have been thrown out of employment; :; some industries are still, and some plans of development are checked. It is. however, but matter of delay, for the panic is behind us, and busy hands and strong hearts are clearing away it's wreckage. It will soon be memo " only, and this is why all see bright skies again-why all are participating to the extent of their means in the festivities and joy of Christmastide.
 There are some, however, that will not be joyous today unless their more fortunate friends and neighbors come to their relief. And the object of this article is to point out the double oppor- tunies that present themselves before the lsind-hearted people of this com munity. Those opportunities are the Yolande relief committee and the Sal vation Army. While these two oppor- tunities stand with outstretched hands let no one attempt to ease his con science by saying he has no chance to help the deserving poor to some of the joys of Christmas. For he has. He can send his contribution in a twinkle to either the Yolande committee or 10 the Salvation Army, and every dollar he sends will carry comforts and hope and perhaps courage to the unfortun- ate of tais community.
 He who desires to celebrate Christi mas in the true Christmas spirit will improve one or both of these oppor- tunities now before the people of Jones valley. Of all the days in the year these are peculiarly the days for unselfshness, for loving thoughtful ness, for deeds of kindnes and gifts that carry sunshine to those who sit in the gloom and sadness of poverty and distress.

Influence of Southern Delegates

History does not show that the southern delegate who has no cleo toral vote behind him has of late been effective. In 1900 and 1904 there was no contest for the republican nomina- ton, and it mattered little in either year how he voted. But in 1888, 1892 anl 1896 there were contests, and the southern delegate was influential in but one of the three.
 In 1888 Snator John Sherman was able to line up the southern delegates, so that he received on the first ballot 139 to 3S for General Alger, 34 for Sec retary Gresham, and "A for General Harrison But the Sherman vote rap idly dwindled, and General Harrison was nominated.
 Four years later President Haui- sons postmasters in the south rallied to him to such an extent that he got 230 votes, while Blaine got 46, and Mo- Kinley 21. Harrison was renominated, but he was not elected.
 This brings us to 1896, when Mark Hanna scattered shekels in the south until he was able to muster in the convention 274 votes for Mckinley as against 16 southern votes for Speaker Reed. Mckinley was nominated and elected, and this stands as the sole clear triumph of the southern dele gate in twenty years.
 The southern delegates may capture a nomination, but nomination based on votes from states that never go re. publican is not apt to insure an cleo tion. The Mark Hanna example of 1896 is the only case in which the southern delegates won in the conven- tion and at the polls. The Hanna campaign cannot well be repeated in 1908 because the funds that he had at his command in 1896 cannot be dupli- cated safely in 1908. The slushers will be modest and generally absent next year

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Llauor Traffic.

"I have been reading the reports of the United States internal commission for two years past with good deal of interest said a lawyer. "I have been a-total ab- stainer all my life. but have never yet voted the dry ticket Prohibition terri tory has been extended within the past few years but the manufacture and sale of liquor increases. The internal revenue collections for the fiscal year ending June 90, 1897, were s269 e64, 929, being an excess of s20561 ,2S4 over the preceding year. or the amount collected s51 1881 .O69 was on tobacco and the balance came from the liquor trade. The collections for the first three months of the new fiscal year show an increase over the corresponding three months of the preceding year of $373,0S7 Commissioner Capers estimates that the total internal revenue receipts for the year ending June 30, 1908. at s27sOOO,000 an increase over 1907 of more than s6,O0O,00O.
 "As the prohibition wave Is spreading, 1 doubt if increases will be shown after next year. but with many counties and states already dry it might seem surpris-
 
 ereasng right along Uncle Sam not be- ing prohibition. issues licenses to liquor dealers regardless of whether they are doing business in wet or dry communities. In other words, the government IS ol as friendly terms with the blind tiger as he is with the saloonkeeper who is licensed by state and county It has been sai1 often that prohibition does not prohibit My idea is, 1t minimizes the liquor evil although internal revenue figures do not support even that theory. The consump- tion of liquor in the United States has always been large, and it may be a long time before Congress will take a hand in checking 1t. If the city of Birmingham is having trouble in raising revenue to make up for what it will lose by prohbl- ton in 1908, how would it be with the Uni ted States government in finding over s200,000,000 to make good a deficit under a prohibition regime? Increase the tariff? That is what the democratic party can never afford to do; and moreover taxation in any form always brings howl In the meantime, I am in favor of enforcing the law in Jefferson county, although I voted anti-prohibiton."

down again, although the situation at Goldfeld confessedly stands un- changed. The miners are full of grievances and the mine operators are just as full of desire to rule and to disburse scrip, and yet the troops are to be sent back to California without unnecessary delay.
 The Presidents attempt to ''blame" the fiasco on Governor Sparks is rath- CT attenuated. Everybody who tried to understand the Goldfeld situation saw it on December 10 as they see it now. The truth is, the President does not desire at the opening of the pres iedntial campaign to add to Secretary Taft's reputation in the injunction bus mess the i'll flavor of shooting scrip into the pockets of Nevada miners-to add to the one-year-certifcate fiasco another equally uncalled for one in the hills of Nevada. This is why the Pres ident has backed out of Nevada. He has ordered the troops to get out with bag and baggage on December 30, wholly regardless of what Sparks wants or thinks. The President con. fesses that he hurried the troops into Nevada without waiting to ascertain the nature of the situation, and now he hurries them away, although no change has taken place in the relations of miners and mine owners.
 The mine owners are protesting, and so are various local officials, but their protests will go unheeded, for presi- dential campaign is coming on, and the favorite of the administration just arrived from our province of the Phil ippines has all the anti-labor record he needs in his business before the peo- ple. Neither as viceroy in the Phil ippines nor as judge in Ohio is his record made up wholly of facts that look we'll at first sight.

Lord KeIvln's ReliqIous Faith

Sir William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, who died last Tuesday in Glasgow at the age of S3, was the worlds fore most scientist Like nearly all British brain workers, he retained his faculties to the last. He became i'll only a week before his death, and up to that time he was as industrious ana apparently as virile as if he had been at life's meridian. At the age of p Lord Kelvin-he was then plain Will liam Thomson-was appointed pro- lessor of natural philosophy at the University of Glasgow. He was great mathematician and great elec- trician. He was associated with the work of laying the Atlantic cable and the success of that enterprise was due largely to his creative genius. Among his many valuable inventions were improvements in instruments used in the science of navigation and espe-
 
 eiaify in the instruments required in deep-sea soundings.
 But it was in the field of electricity that Lord Kelvin made his most won- derful discoveries. AS measuring instrument the Kelvin balance Is the most sensitive and the most accurate in existence. There was no depart ment of electrical engineering of which he was not master, and by his mar velous inventive faculty, combined with sound philosophic method, he was ever enriching the world. His name will be linked in history with those of Newton and Farrady.
 Now, it is a noteworthy fact that Lord Kelvin, this greatest all round man of science" unlike many present day novices in science and unlike some men of high scientific attain ments, was a firm believer in super natural religion. He once startled the

 Carnivorous plants are known which will consume even mice; laughing plants and plants that weep are also known; but no one has ever heard of vege- table that suffered from whooping cough.
 There exists, however, says the Jour nal de la Sante, a. plant which prospers in tropical countries, and the fruit of which resembles the common bread bean. It is quite a crank, easily gets into 2 rage. and what is more peculiar has horror of all dust.
 As soon as a few grains of dust are deposited on its leaves the stomata, or air chambers which cover their faces and which are the respiratory organs of the plant, becomes filled with gas, swell and end by driving out the gas with g. slight explosion and 8 sound which resembles so much the cough or A child suffering from a cold as to be mistaken for 1t.

Now it is a fact that the newspapers of Birmingham-and I speak of them col lectively-have done more for this com munity in the past two months than almost everything else combined. They were croaking. The newspapers have lost heavily in hard times; yet during the hardest of hard times they have en- couraged and enthused They have pre- vented that which would have been panic had they printed one-tenth of the rumors in circulation. They have done a good work which deserves encourage ment. They don't want it. however. They are part and parcel of the community. For the community they have done their work and they want to do ten times as much as they have done in the past. The making of Birmingham and the Birming- ham district is the making of the news papers.
 
 Thank goodness, hard times are over! Birmingham and it's people are now in the saddle, galloping into the great pas ture of prosperity which is to come to us all with the opening of the new year.

What Wall Street Wishes

Let George Gray be nominated" says the Washington Post, flor presi- dent of the United States. That is the first obvious duty of democrats. Let William J. Bryan be nominated for vice president"
 This may be said to be the latest re- yised edition of the Wall street pro- gramme It is the tail end of the scheme for nominating southern man for president. Delaware was slave state before the war, and Delaware nominee would reasonably we'll meet the Wall street programme.
 The entire programme of the men who have footed the bills of the re- publican party and dictated its poli- cies consists in the shelving of MT. : Bryan as a preliminary step. MT. Bryans popularity is so great, especial ly in a period like the present, that he must be gotten out of the way before the Wall street crowd dare go on to name reactionary as the republican nominee. As soon, however, as MT. Bryan is showed aside they would proceed to stack the cards for Fair bands, Joe Cannon or some other trustworthy reactionary.
 But all such schemes will come to naught. The time has gone by when this country will again accept pres ident who looks wise and does nothing while the interests proceed to work their schemes wholely irresponsible to law, morals or public sentiment. No duplication of the old-time administra- tions will be permitted. A revolution has taken place, and a President who stands for something and will do some thing is demanded.
 The Wall street programme is con tinuous flash in the pan It cannot be carried out in either party, and neither George Gray nor Fairbanks will come within four city blocks of the prize. The successor of Theodore Roosevelt will be an American Who believes in that part of America which lies out side of Wall street.

 Henry Mosler, perhaps the greatest American artist is in Birmingham, the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Otto Marx. MT. Mosler is considered a native of New York, but he was born in Ger many having been brought, while an infant, to this country. His first work which attracted attention was a draw ing of a reception rendered Major An derson after that officer had surren- dered Fort Sumter. MT. Mosler will be in Birmingham for several days.
