If the Democrats adopt a plank
IN their platform for publicity Of
campaign contributions and expend-
lures, both for the nomination of
candidates aud for their election,
that issue will be quite prominent
in the campaign and may sfec,
enough voters in the doubtful states
TO turn the tide N favor of the
Democrats. 1t is said that Mr..
Bryan favors such plank and will
advise the new chairman Of the
Democratic national committee to
publish the items OF all receipts and
expenditures in this campaign. IF
Mr.. Bryan should also have the ex-
pensc incurred by himself and his
friends IN his long campaign for the
nomination made public he would
make It decidedly uncomfortable Tor

large amount Of money is reported

such expenditures would hardly look

A Lincoln Memorial at Washin gton

A Lincoln Memorial at Washington.
The idea Of building at the public
expense road from Washington to
Gettysburg and naming it for Lincoln
seems not to be entertained with any
enthusiasm throughout the country.
The scheme Is colossal one, and the
utility Of such road, even for memo
rial purposes, has been questioned.
Washington. however. seems to be the
point to which all thought turns as the
fitting place to preserve the memory
of Lincoln.
A companion obelisk to that erected
to Washington and situated near it
has been suggested. But the capital
is undergoing transformation. and it
would be difficult Mt present to deter
mine what will in future years be the
most conspicuous site for the purpose
and one to surely lie upon an axis of
travel for the visiting nation. There

A FANcIER's EPITAPH.

Here lies a man who spent his life
To bar n rooster to the skin,
While others hustled In the strife
To make more eggs come rolling in.
Behold, he made a brand new breed
And fashioned fancy combs and feet,
While others sweat to meet the need
For tons of juicy chicken meat.
Bring forth the ribbons that he won.
Entwine and crown his tombstone
white.
Let not this sport be soon forgot
For maNng rooster tails stand right
Like George, he never SWore and lied
Though this is not the first he dyed
He showed you how the brass to hide
With indigo and peroxide.
Ii he did give the Rocks the knocks
And tied the Dottes In double knots
And knocked the laying of some flocks
We still drop sweet forgetmenots.
! II he has faxed to win the cup.
What will he win when he goes up?
When he knocks at that gate afar.
Perhaps he'll win sudden jar.

A capon bears the same relation to a
rooster as 4 steer to bull, and as
bull meat Is not equal to steer meat, SO
are ROSTERS not equal to capons.
When cockerels become capons they
cease to grow combs and wattles, do
not crow and fight, grow much faster
and finer flesh, bring more money and
eat no more than ordinary chickens.
If cock weighs ten pounds capon
will weigh fifteen and bring three to
four times the price
One hundred and twenty-five dollars
is often received for 100 capons.
1t certainly pays to caponizc surplus
cOckerels A set Of tools costs $3.50,
with full directions, and only ordinary
skill is required
The earliest hatch, the best capons.
They must be from two to six
months old and weigh not less than a
pound.
The best market is January to June,
and to catch these caponizing must be
done from June to November.
The best breeds for success are
Brahmas, COchins, Dorking Houdan,
La Fleche, Langshan, Rocks and
Wyandottes, straight and crossed; lar
gest, from cross of Dorking male
and Brahma hen; finest quality, this
progeny crossed with Indian Game.
In dressing for market. plumage Is
left on wing to second joint, head and
hackle, halfway up drumsticks, on
tail, hips and part Of back.

One way to start feather eating
among chickens is to pull fight feath-

Why? Simply because time is not

what different conditions require. It's
not simply opening slide or dropping

Of wind, condition Of air, etc, must
be studied to get the thing down to q
