The Saturday Review has been
conservative and believes in con-

any time in the history of this
good country of ours, level head

State.
We have on our hands an ag-

Night Riders In North Dakota.

In fleeing from the wrath to
come" under his own vine and
fig tree in Harrison county, a
Mr.. Hays, a non-Equity farmer,
who is growing a crop of ''the
weed on his farm, near Berry,
so we are reliably informed, ran
against a snag in the form of
night riders" in the wheat Sec
ton of North Dakota. The story
as related to us is to the effect
that several weeks ago the afore-
said Mr.. Hayes left Kentucky
with a splendidly equipped
thresher outfit for North Dakota,
where he began operations. He
threshed only a few small crops
facts became noised about that
he was a non-Equity man and
the western wheat growers
ceased to employ him. A little
later the thresher outfit was
burned and Mr.. Hayes returned
home sadder but wiser man.
1t is also stated that upon his re-
turn home he declared his allie
glance to the Equity cause and
expressed his purpose to pool his
growing crop. -Larue County

ment Station, issued a bulletin
relative to the possibilities of
feeding early Matched pullets
during the summer by retarded
or forced feeding.
By retarding is ment the idea
that feeding is necessary during
the late summer to check the
early tendency of laying, with
the hope of getting a larger egg
yield in the early winter.
By forced feeding is meant the
giving of a rich stimulating mash
to induce egg production.
Concerning the results of his
work Mr.. Rice has certain finding
drawn from data which are SUBJ
mitted below:
1. Forced pullets made a better
profit than retarded pullets.
2. Forced pullets ate less food
per hen at less. cost per hen than
retarded pullets.
3. Forced. pullets produced
more eggs Of a larger size, at less
cost per dozen than retarded
pullets.
4. Forced pullets produced more
eggs during early winter than re-
tarded pullets.
5. Forced pullets have better
Matching results of eggs than re-
tarded pulletS.
6. Forced pullets make a better
percentage of gain in weight than
retarded pullets.
z. Forced pullets showed less
broodiness than retarded pullets.
8. Forced pullets had less NOR
tality than retarded pullets.
9. Forced pullets showed better
vigor than retarded pullets.
10. Forced pullets showed the
first nature mott earlier than re-
tarded pullsts.
II. Retarded pullets gave bet
ter fertility Of eggs than forced
pullets.
IL. Hopper fed dry mash gave
better results in gaining of weight

err of eggs, days lost in Noting,

hen, than wet mash.
Is. Wet mash and grain fed
pullets consumed slightly less
cost per dozen than dry mash and
grain fed pullets.
IA. Wet mash and grain fed
pullets produced slightly larger
eggs of slightly better fertility,
and showed less broodiness than
dry mash and grain fed pullets.
Is. Dry mash and grain fed
pullets laid eggs of good size at an
earlier period than wet mash and
grain fed pullets.

 DESTRUCTION.
COngressmaR Burton confers With President. t.Eleet and Gives Out a signiacant Interview on
 Spenkernhip.

Hot Springs. Va, Nov. 31.--Presi- dent-elect Taft and Representative Burton. of Ohio. had another extended conference today at which the Speak ership question was discussed. as well as nearly everything else" as Mir. Taft put 1t.
 What the present state of mind of Mir. Taft Is on the speskership ques- tion and what will be his future atti- tude is made apparent beyond all question in a statement made for pub lication by Mr. Burton after the con ference.
 Mir. Burton stated that on his re- turn to Washington Monday he should give more vigorous attention to his canvass for the Ohio Senatorship. He then said:
 ''In discussing the subject of the Speakership, am not assuming to say anything for MT. Taft, but only to express what seems to me is clear ly a correct view of the situation. The President-elect made certain promises during the campaign. One was g thorough and honest revision of the tariff. This does not necessarily mean that rates in all schedules viii be lowered. nor any legitimate right or interest of either capital pr labor win De disTegarded. It does mean care- fui Fe,e2amination of the T4,ie subs
 'Dssides the tarir there were other prouises contained iil the party plat form and reiterated by the Presideht4 elect which must be fulfilled even at a cost of q contest for the Speaker ship.
 No doubt MT. Taft would oppopse Mir. Cannon very reluctantly. but as the head of his party. as well as the President-elect of the nation. he is bound to meet the expectations of the people and to insist upon the observ- ance of party pledges.
 The Speaker has great power in repressing legislation. If this repres- sfve influence should stand in tho way there would be but one course for the President elect to pursue and that is to exert his influence against obstruc- tion.
 Tt Is to be hoped there will be such harmony and concert of action between the President -elect and Speaker Cannon that a contest will be avoided"
 Judge Taft has made no statement for publication on the subject Those who have talked with him say that his determination to prevent obstruc- tion" is most vigorous.
 Regarding the possibility of his be- ing a candidate for Speaker, Mir. Bur toms answer was that he was none the less a candidate for Senator" be- cause of his visit here.
