Tar,n Reni.ion uncertain.

Senator Lodge is much exercised
over tariff reform, and that it may
be attempted when Congress meets. He
warns Massachusetts, Republicans that
it would "bring on period of uncer-
tatnty and suspense in the industrial
world" 'Let us also," says this oracle,
waste no time in talking about reci-
procity with Canada" He tempers this
opposition to present tariff revision by
declaring: 1--WE shall, l hope, and be-
lieye, declare for revision, which I for
one have been urging for the last threa
years, at,our next national convention,
and We shall then, l trust, carry that
into effect, along protective lines, i'm
mediately after March 4, 1909" SEN
ator Lodges efforts for tariff revision
reform during the last three years"
have been SO feeble that but little de-
.pendence can be placed in his promised
striving for revision "after election"
He was one Of the Senate conspirators
who succeeded in squelchIng the reci-
procity treaties with several foreign
nations, that Mckinley negotiated and
the Republican Senators refused to
ratify. That record hardly insures re-
vision "after election" Senator Lodge
also lets the cat out of the bag when
he says that Republican revision will
be "along protective lines" for such
talk reeks of the standpat doctrine.
Senator Lodge and the Republican ma
tional convention will have to be mora
explicit before any belief in the pro-
posed revision after election will over
come the effect of so many former
broken promises. Revision "along pro-
tective Ines indicates to increase the
tariff rates and what the people are
demanding is lower duties, so that
trust prices may be reduced.

Statistics show that 90 farmers of
100 keep hens. 1t is estimated that rs
per cent of this number raise mongrels
and crossbreeds. Now that the cam
paign for pure-bred cattle, hogs and
even field seeds is on, 1t would seem
wise to reduce the number of mongrel-
bred poultry.

How to E1terminate Hen ,I,te,.

How to Exterminate Hen Mites.
Some years ago our henhouse was
badly Infested with red lice. will
give my way of getting rid of them,
for think it is good one; at least,
it proved successful. We began by pull
Ing out the old roost, which was
nailed against the wall, and then
whitewashed the walls and nests. We
poured some kerosene on the cracks
around the nests. The kerosene will
run along the cracks and kill all the
lice 1T gets on. The floor was covered
with sand. We then put up hang
Ing roost by taking some lath and nall
ing one end to the ceiling and fastened
another lath that Is to be used as the
roost to the other end with wire.
After you have the roosr up, dust the
chickens with powder to destroy the
lice that are on them. This hanging
roost is very important. Have 1t far
enough away from the walls SO that
the chickens, when on 1t, will not touch
the walls, and do not let any chickens
roost on the nest or anywhere else.
The red lice do not breed on the chick
ems, as the large gray OF white lice do.
They lay their eggs in the cracks
around the roost and nests. Most of
them leave the chickens in the morn
ing and go on them again at night. In
this way you can quickly get rid of all
the red lice. Even if you only make
the roost you can get rid of the lice,
for they cannot get on the chickens at
night. But it will take two or three
months before they will all starve,
for they live on one another. If the
coop is full of red lice the chickens
look sickly. Do not set any hens in
places where there are red lice. Move
them after dark to a nest where you
wish them to set. They generally set
well this way If you keep the nest
dark for day or two. The large gray
or white lice never leave the hens.
busting with powder is about as good
as anything to kill them.-Miss Ma
tilda NJ. Sharbaugh.

Meat a. Chick Food.

In recent report of experiments In
feeding chicks, the Rhode Island E1-
pertinent Station says:
The use of the proper proportion Of
animal food will pay a handsome profit
through decreased mortality and in
creased weight Of the chicks. In feed
ing, bear In mind that chicks In
state of nature spend practically all Of
their working hours In search of food,
and that they do not fill their crops in
ten minutes every two hours Feed
Ing should be, as far as the time Of
the attendant renders profitable, con-
tinuous process, but by no means a
continuous gorge.
The experiment which led up to this
conclusion was with an incubator
hatch Of 219 chicks. These were sep
arated into lots Of about fifty each
and placed In similar brooders. For
thirty days all conditions were kept
alike except rations. Pen A was fed
balance ration Of grains, meats and
green food. The chicks grew and
thrived, and not one chick showed
symptoms of digestive disorder. The
deaths amounted to 80 per cent. In
Pen B all animal food was withheld:
the deaths were 9.5 per cent, Of which
% per cent had bowel trouble. Pen O
was fed on grain alone, all animal
food and all green food being omitted
from the ration; the deaths were 32.7
per cent, of which 965 per cent show
ed digestive trouble. In Pen D all
grain food was omitted; the deaths Of
chicks were es.7 per cent, Of which
sos per cent showed bowel trouble.
All the living chicks were weighed at
the close of the test, and Pen A showed
the greatest average weights for all
breeds.

The Washington Post claims that the
men and women Of this country who
work for Salaries" us distinguished
from the laborers who work for
wages" support one-third of the en-
tire population Of the country, and
reach the number of 100000. 1t says
there has been no increase In salaries
since 1880, while the purchasing power
of the dollar has, owing to, the flood
of gold, decreased thirty per cent or
more; so that this large salaried class
of 100000 is really getting less for
Its services by 30 per cent. or more,
than 1t received in 1880. Such pros

largely to the increased supply of gold
perhaps solely to that cause. Yet
the very cause of this prosperity brings
poverty, and want to the salaried class

can people. The bricklayer gets six
dollars day, because his class has

The capitalists makes from 10 to 100
per cent on his investments, because
his class has organized. Most Of the
school teachers, the bookkeepers, the
clerks, the statesmen, etc., get from
forty to sixty dollars month, because
they think themselves too respectable

on the other. They are, therefore, help

The
Lonesome Dog
By JESSIE waIaHr vH1rooMs

A good. kind dog found himself all
alone in the world. He was hungry
and thirsty and lonesome, and thought
he would see If he could improve his
fortunes.
AS he trotted through the streets
81 town he smelled fine smell.
That means something for me at
last" he thought. and traced the smell
70 a meat shop. The screen door
was shut. but he waited patiently
Nntil some one went in and he fol-
hwed close behind.
A most excellent smell! He nosed
along up close to the counter. With
grateful heart he waited for his share.
1t fell and he snapped it up. No SOON
or had he done SO than the butcher
saw him, and the butchers boy and
two customers and they all shunted at
him and jumped at him and hustled
him out of the shop, bereft of his
meat and ashamed,
my sakes," he said to himself, as
he ran down the street, tail between
his legs. II have learned one lesson
never to go into place that smells
rs good as that again!"
When he could run no more, pant
ing with the heat, and with his ton
que hanging out of his mouth, he
looked for place to rest. He had
reached a house with green grass,
and with vines on the porch, and
with a soft, damplooking flower bed,
full of bright flowers, in front of the
vines. There was no fence.
1T is quite free" thought the tired
dog, "and am glad OF place to
rest" So he went over to, the flower
bed. turned around and around. on
Che cool soil until he had crowded
out for himself comfortable resting
place among the plants.

as he painted for breath, "how kind
these people must be!'
He was just doing of, when he
heard a scream above him. peter!
quick! quick! an awful dog! right in

Move as quick as he could, the dog
could not get away before he had
been pelted with all sorts of things.
and had been called all sorts of
names, which hurt him almost as
much as the missiles.
He ran as far as he could without
stopping, but he was SO intolerably
