 to the old veterans, as in fact has been everybody with whom they had to con tend in any way. It is the disposition of the present generation to take good care of those old heroes who are now passing to their last reward. That they are becoming more and more feeble is indicated by the fact that within the past 12 months nearly 5000 new pensioners have been added to the roll, and several hundred past the age of so transferred from other classes to the first class.
 This increases the burden placed upon the state and makes 1t all the more dif- fcult to keep the funds up to the re- quired amount. It will not be long, un- fortunately. until the list will begin to fall off, but no man in Alabama will for a moment have other feeling than pro- found regret that the state will be able in this way to save money. On the other CT of the generation that they would rather increase the amounts, putting on more taxes and giving these old fellows better care as they are passing away, than to be able to save anything by the fact that they no longer need the sup port.
 Talk of Perry Thomas.
 The report that President Pro Tem Perry Thomas of the senate will probably go into the race for lieutenant governor next term is taken to mean that the anti administration forces are beginning to be- lieve that they will be in the ascendency during the next campaign. It will be re- membered that MT. Thomas fought Lieu tenant Governor Gray on the question of the right to appoint committees of the senate As presiding officer of that body, MT. Gray contended that it was his right to appoint them. On the other hand MT. Thomas had the precedent set by former Lieutenant-G Governor Cunningham that this was the duty of the president pro tenn. In a contest into which Governor Conner was drawn on the side of MT. Gray the senate sided with the lieutenant governor and he named the committees. Growing out of that fight MT. Thomas | was considered all along being at the | head of the anti-admnistration faction | in the upper house. As result it has | been understood that he and his friends | are to be aligned with whatever of feel l ing that is to be utilized in the build 1 ing up of those forces within the party { which are opposed to what is known as 1 the Conner idea. The election in Georgia l has no.doubt impressed the men of this l faction that they will be able to control ] the next primary, supposition which is | strengthened by the vote received by ] Governor Johnson in the last primary | So that it appears now that there vii 1 be distinct lineup of both sides of the 1 situation. and the belief is that from now l until the next primary election things will be pretty lively in Alabama poli | tics.

 "Detailed estimates covering a total of $2.00O GOO for permanent improvements. which it was desired 'o complete i" 1909, were submitted to congress. They showed for the entire amount exactly what it was proposed to undertake on each na- tional forest, and at what cost. The amount provided by the ap- propriation was $6OO,OOO. For 1910 estimates will again be submitted for permanent improvements, the cost of which aggregate $974,9S1. These estimates are the result of specific and fully itemized plans, which are on file in the forest service They are in no sense a request for lump sum, the spend- ing of which remains to be planned in detail after appropriation is made Il is of urgent importance that this work should be provided for
 "Though the construction of per- manent improvements entails the Deed of provision for their main tenance. the added efficiency of the forests as economic resources se- cured through these improvements richly repavs the cost With the national f,,ests as with any other resources, their returns depend on the extent to which development takes place through judicious out. lays of ca pital If ,he land is not tn remain wilderness 1t must be made servicea ble to the needs of civilized man by constructive expenditures"

Money in Colorado Poultry.

At the Poultry Institute held by the
Colorado Agricultural College in Gree
ley, August 18th, Prof. W. G. Cham
bers exhibited Rhode Island Red hen
that had laid 200 eggs in one year.
Professor Chambers keeps from forty
to fifty hens on a town lot and has to
buy all his feed. He keeps an accurate
account of all expenses, and last year
for food, louise killer, straw and all
incidentals, the cost was one dollar per
hen.
He uses trap nests and keeps no hen
that lays less than 12O eggs in twelve
months. The average for his entire
flock is little over twelve dozen eggs
hen per annum.
The average price in the open market
for the year for eggs has been 25 cents
dozen. This makes at market price
an income of three dollars a hen for
the year-two dollars hen more than
the cost of feed where all feed has to
be purchased.
Professor Chambers has made more
than this amount because he sold some
of his eggs for Matching.
Professor Chambers ascribes his sue
cess to intelligent feeding, good care
and trap-nesting.
His hens are given dry feed entirely.
He gives light feed of whole wheat
and corn three times a day, scattering
grain in the lite.
He keeps before his hens all the time
in self-feeding hoppers a dry mash
made of the following mixture:
Bran. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 200 pounds
