Notes For the Poultry Man

, to do it is to breed from hens that are

management, feed the mems with due

1t has been proven by expert poultry
| men beyond a doubt that where hens
have been bred in line" for heavy egg
yield they can be made to lay from
| 200 to $50 eggs per hen, while the av-
erage hen will lay only from so to 100
eggs. per year. Now, if every one who
breeds and raises pure-bred poultry
! would have the same regard for in
Vulnerable f1oc1s of hens with reputa-
| tons as great layers. This requires a
study of the flock, as much valuable
information may be obtained from
close observation. We are convinced
that there is as distinct a type for the
laying hen-the hen that produces lots
of eggs during year-as there is for
the dairy COW. Both are the result of
careful and consistent breeding and
Zine breeding" if you so term it.
In selecting stock to be bred for
| layers the male birds are quite as i'm
portant One must be careful that the
males ace descendants from prolific
layers The best layers are also OBJ
tanned where the grandsires are also
from stock noted for their exceptional
laying. 1t is true that when we are
pay attention to standard qualities OF
feather, symmetry and shape. But
these two or three matters can be bred
in the same bird or in the same fiocks.
On one farm where pure-bred poultry
is the pride of the poultry-yard and
where the heavy-laying strain is the
prime object. greater layers can be pro-
duced and the flock can still be among
the "top-notchers" as pure breds. 1t
may be necessary to have several pens

Most Of us think of law as hard

more kindly and merciful
And yet the law gives everyone the
benefit of the doubt Every man is
deemed innocent until he has been
proven guilty.
Now do people do that:
Do you do that?
When you hear that some girl was
seen going to a disreputable hotel with
a man do you at once condemn her or
do you say to yourself that there may
be circumstances and explanations
that you are not in position to know.
in short, give her the benefit of the
doubt?
That's about all gossip is-referring
to possibilities or probabilities as
proven facts, refusing to give people

Since the hen during the moultine
period has heavy demands upon hel
physical system she should be given
extra feed and care to meet the severe
physical requirements. If she has to
battle with the strain of growing new
feathers with short. supply Of nour-
ishing feeds her flesh will be used up
for making feathers, and she will grow
poor and weak under the strain. II

ture of lice and mites and breathe foul
cdors from the roosts at night, she Is
likely to be so reduced in vitality at
the end Of the moulting period that she
will not lay at all through the fall and
winter
The house in which moulting hens
are kept should be absolutely clean of
noxious insects and filth of all kinds.
II hens are made comfortable in every
way, and have only the growing of a
normal crop of new feathers, and are
fed literally with nutritious protein

Gossip About r all Hats

Now that the clever milliners are
setting vases of goldenrod prominent

reminder that autumn is just around

waman's Imagination as well as-in
more substantial form-the reserve
rooms of every shop.
The bona fide Paris hats are seldom
shown. except to favored customers,
before the middle of September, when
the formal openings take place, the
earlier models being rather in the ma
ture of correct tailored styles for street
wear and for travelling use. Many of
these hats are patterned directly af-
ter the Paris models. which are wait

Some representative and authorita-
tive models from important milliners-
all of them hats which express Paris
plans for fall-have been photographed
and among these three Gage hats for
early wear with tailored costumes are
particularly interesting. All of these
new hats, it will be noted

the face than one which flares away
at right angles to the crown.
The new fiat hair dressings are, Of
course having a direct effect on fall
millinery and all the Paris hats settle
far down over the eyebrows and nape
of the neck, even though one side of
the brim may roll up sharply. These
eclipsing hats have been exploited at
Auteuil and the Grand PriX and one
sees them now with velvet crowns and
in distinctiyely autumn guise at the
fashionable restaurants and tea rooms.
The hat is first rolled down all around
the head as far as it will go and is then
raised a bit on one side, so that the eyes
may peer out obliquely beneath the
brim. 1t is not probably that this rak-
ish and audacious style will appeal to
American women of the best trade but
all hats will settle down very far over
the hair. allowing little of the face
above the eyes to be seen.
The most conspicuous feature of the
new millinery is the big crown. Mil
liners seemed to have reached the limit
of ingenuity in devising extravagant
brims and are now seeing what they
can do with crowns. Some of the shir-

Conservative Americans take gradu-
ally to such radical style changes, and
the early street hats put out by the
cleverest milliners are moderate in type,
while showing incontestably the estab-
lished new style feature of Paris. The
most conspicuous of these new fea-
lures are the large, big crowns, the roll

The DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

After atday Of battle cries and exhibit
tons OF the rancor that customarily at
tends the brotherhood assemblies of the
Maryland Democrats a set of resolutions
was adopted last week by that party
that pledged the party to the suffrage
amendment as the main and vital issue.
But in order to dress the dish that is
unpalatable to many to the taste of all.
the counties made a nominal capitula-
ton to the city. Baltimore Democrats
have only party interest in the
amendment; they have vital interest
in fuller representation. In considera-
ton OF their support of the suffrage
proposal they therefore, have promise
OF fuller representation in the legisla-
ture for Baltimore. The resolution
pledges the party to the promotion of a
constitutional amendment providing for
a Baltimore equal representation in the
House on the basis Of population and in
the Senate representation upon the
basis of one senator for every CITY unit
having a population as great as that Of
the largest county. Thus the mountain
has labored and brought fourth mouse.
The only semblance to a city victory is
queak in the convention resolutions.

line of trade for the support for a

That party has yet its issue to frame,
and for the present it is important only
to point out that the primaries, sena-
torial and otherwise, have not freed the
people one whit from boss control, but
the Democratic boss has been even more
IN evidence. Making the primaries
compulsory will not make them either
more popular or more serviceable. The
Democratic brand of primaries has not
found favor with the people.

The one philosophic principle, the one
logical thread in the Democratic posi-
ton, is that the party, casting about
for measures that have enough of
double Interpretation to fool a portion
of the population, have fabricated a
scheme of campaign based upon no fun
damental and honest purpose to do the
state good, but simply to take care of
the fortunes of the professional politi-

A GOOD CLIMATE

The rain which fell in this State last
night did incalculable good to crops, and
it is to be hoped means an end of the
drought which this section almost in
variably suffers from some time during
the summer season. The estimate of
loss due to lack of moisture is probably
some what exaggerated, since the
droutht has not been uncommonly pro-
longed; but the damage has unquestion-
ably been heavy. This season it struck
Maryland in a tender spot, since it hurt
the small fruit for which the State is
famous.aE Everybody suffers more or
less from the deprivation, but the hard
ship Is especially felt by the truck far
mers and others who depend for live
Ilhood on the production of their gardens
and farms. On the whole, Maryland has
not suffered worse than other sections.
lake the climate here month in and
month out and the State has little to
