THE POULTRY YARD

If you lave sheltered place, not onl,
to set the hens but also to rear the young
March matches will be profitable. Barrel

outbuilding, make ideal nests at this TIM
OF the year.
Do not make the common error of set
ting hens in the regular laying houses
and never be guilty Gf shutting up her
on the nest. The barrel method is fal
better. and if small Iath run is built in
front Of the nest, the hen can get off and
on her eggs as she deems best.
Some hens sit too closely to the nest,
and Others not close enough. But il is
the province Of man to know just how
long biddy should remain on or off her
eggs. Her Judgment is best in such mat.
ters
Tt is not advisable at this time of the
year to place more than eleven eggs under
a hen, as those on the outer edge are apt
to become chilled.
Do not disturb her while she is hatch
ing; and leave the young in the nest for
at least twenty.four hours. The young
aters need the warmth more than they do
food.
For the first two weeks tbs bestto keep
the hen aud her young in large house
or coop, SO that they can exercise and at
the same time they can be protected from
the weather. After that time they can

NEW poSTOFFIcE ORDER
Says Newspaper Subscribers Not Paid
Up Cannot Be Served

q.
Subscribers to newspapers ss we'll
as publishers, will be interested in a
new ruling which has just been pro-
mulgated by the Postoffice Depart
ment. twill be found in the Deem
Der number Of the Postal Guide as
order No. 9ol.
The order is specific and means
that the publishers of daily news
papers will be obliged to cut off SUBJ
seribers three months in arrears, and
that the publishers of weekly papers
will be obliged TO take similar action
against all subscribers one year in
arrears.
Ii this is not done, the right Of the
publication to pass through the mails
as second clas9 matter will be ques-
toned. If this right is denied after
Investigation, the publication in ques-
ton may only be mailed at the tram
sient seeond-class postage rates Of tine
cesss for each four ounces or fractions
thereof, which would virtually bar It
from the mails. The new ruling is a
drastic one and will be far-reaching
in its effect uponth country publisii-
ers, who have been accustomed to
extend credit to subscribers.
Instructions to postmaster, received
from the department, are not to
question expired subscriptions prior
to April next, in order that pub
fishers may begiyen every reasonable
opportunity toadiust their business to
the conditions.
This is only fair, as publishers who
show good faith and that they are
making progress should have such
an opportunity. The purpose Of the
new law is to correct real abuses and
not to place iii the hands of postmas-
tars an instrument which to. annoy
and yex publishers whose practices
are legitimate and normal.
In order that we may comply with the
new ruling of the Postofiice Department.
notice of which is given above, we ur-
gently request all orr patrons who are one
year or more in arrears for subscriptions
10 settle the same at their earliest con-
Veaiences Under the new ruling we will
be obliged to discontinue sending papers
10 those of our patrons who are more
ban one year in arrears. We trust our
friends will bear this in mind and settle
he amount they owe us at an early
late. Yon can know the amount OF your
lrrearages by referring to the address

I Be sure that thesnew male bird you are
using for breeding is no relative of the
hens. Yorcan not expect strong, rugged
stock where there is close relationship
between sire and dams.
II it is intended to purchase eggs for
Matching this season, the order had better
be placed now, so that there will be no
disappointment in NOT getting the eggs
when wanted.
For strong fertility, try alternating male
birds in the pens, Have either two males
for each pen, or three males for two pens,
using only one male at a time in a pen,
and changing abou. twice week.
Eggs from two-vear-oId hens are apt to
hatch best at this time. and the chicks
will be. more thrifty than those from
pulIet eggs.
As rule the eggs from hens that did
heavy laying during the winter will not be
so fertile as eggs from hens that made but
fair showing.

Of stock, from hens up to horses.
Itis not so very much trouble to get .
good crop Of oats. All We need to do is
to have the ground in good condition,
get at it in proper season, use good seed
and-wait.
A good many times We are in too big 9
hurry about getting in onr oats; not toe
soon, but too much Of hurry to get
through. So we slip over the work and
then wonder why We do not get good re-

Land should be plo#ed as early as pos
sible for oats; but wait tilYit is dry enough
80 that IT will not bake and be lnmpy;
Iumpy land is spoiled land.
Then harrow thoroughly, over and over
again, till there is a good, soft, mellow
seed-bed. We often miss it by sighting
this part Of the work. Do not leave any
thing to be done by the drill. II some
times happens than when We are in q
hurry we think We will not harrow very
well 1.-THE drill will finish it = Not

Jackets of Peculiar Cut
A prominent feature of the spring
fashions is the increasing number of suits
with jackets in the butterfly style, as it il
called, or in other words with sleeves cut
in one with the side proportions of the
garment. Every possible variation Of this
effect is shown, many models being dis
tinctly tailored. the novel feature consist
ing of the sleeves and the arrangement Of
the side and back forms. In fact among
the spring coats there seems to be liter
ally no end to the peculiar cuts that have
been brought out
Stylish Gostumes
A novel spring suit is made of striped
WOODEN with checked wooden in the same
coIofs use as trimming. Rough silks Of
all sorts of the tnssah and pongee vaiie-
ties viii be used to great extent for cos
tunes for the spring and summer. A
very smart example of this style was in
natural colored pongee made with waist
crossing in surplice effect in the front and
ha:iDg sleeve caps In japanese style cut
in one with the body Of the garment.
This was trimmed with Sands of the ma.
terial embroidered in red and light green
that come as border on tile fabric. The
skirt was 10 one Of the pretty triple
styles.
Fashions for Children
The large armhole and dropping shoul-
der effect are just as prominent in fashions
for children this season as they are in
adult modes. For spring wear many
charming little frocks Of mollair, panama.
serge or flannel are displayed in the
shops, also some most attractive little
gingham dresses. These can be purchased
in plaids, stripes, checks and plain eolors.
The skirts are in pIeated effects, trimmed
with folds, while the waists are in plain
oriancy styles with lace trimmed yokes,
or plain gingliam trimmings that match
the predoininating color used in the plaid
or check. Tie sleeves are either short or
long, bnt the short kimono sleeves is ex-
tensively used. Inmore pensiye frocks

WASHINGTON LETTER

1 WA HINareN, D, G.s February 29th, 1908,
THERE Is genuine concern among Re
publican leaders, including some who
1 are not particularly partial to Secretary
/ Taft, over the programme of the antisad.
ministration forces who are bent OH bring
| ing to Chicago contesting delegations from
/ everv south state. Senator Foraker's
name is generally used as anti-Tsft can
didate, but suninstructed delegations" is
tile cry, the purpose being to secure, if
| possible, a large number Of delegations to
trade with. In many Of the Southern
states,4the Forakerites are dealing with
the negroes. In Alabama. however, this
is rot the case. The negroes will have
none of the INSTRUMENTATION crowd
aud accordingly. the Forakerites are deal
ling with the se-calied .'Lily-Whites or
ami negro faction. One William Young
blood, Lily-white leader, il going about
the state hiring hall in each town where
district convention is being held and,
With the liberal use Of money, is elect
ing contestipg delegation without pre-
tense Of regularity. In many Of the
southern states the men who are at the
front OF the anti-administras:on move
ment are those who have been discharged
BY President Mckinley or Roosevelt for
dishonesty or incompetence, or both.
The programme of the anti-Taft forces
who are amply provided with money. is
to bring all these delegations to Chicago
and endeavor to have them placed on
the temporary rop' Of the national con-
yenIion. OF course it cannot be pre-
tended that these delegations are entitled
to suelr recognition, but their hope is to
influence the National Committee to seat
them regardless Of ME merits of the
cases. When the convention is called to
order Tie roll of the states will be called
and as each is named, its chairman
elected by the majority of the delegation,
rises aud names three men. Tor member
ship on the committees On, credentials,
resolutions and permanent organization,
respectively. ofcourse if a majority of
spurious delegates are placed on the tenn
porarl roll, the men named for the cre-
dental committee will be anti-Tatt Then
the credentiils committee will pass on
Tire various eontests and the result must
be Obvious. Only anti-Taft delegates
viii be placed on the permanent roll
wherever there is contest. Il is oh
vious, therefore, that if the anti-adminis-
tration forces can control the National
Committee they can control the consen-
ton, although that is admittedly big

The feature Of this situation which oc-
casions anxietgto The leaders, however,
is not the possible outcome Of the pro-
gramme, but the effect which, however it
results, it will have in tile election. Let
the people become convinced that a Re.
publican candidate for President has
been nominated by the corrupt nanipu-
Iation Of. negro delegates from states in
which there is practically no, Republican
vote, and the result win tie to make
Democratic votes by the million, say the
wise ones. Again, suppose Taft is nomi-
mated, will not the fact that such a con-
certed effort was made have decidedly
serious effect on the fortunesiof tile party2
Can any party have it become generally
known that there is even possibility Of
such corruption in its national councils,
or that such quantities Of money have
been expended to sway its choice without
grave loss Of confidence? These are the
questions which some Of the most disin-
terested leaders are asking.
