FINISHING FOWLS FOR MARKET. I

The finishing of fowls for the early

this without causing a. crash and a
loss of time and flesh win be very
cautious problem. The majority of
Feeders have fed an enormous amount
Of bran the past season, owing to
scarcity of grains, and the change
rom bran to corn must be done with
Rfmest care. We all know corn will

yellow skin. Fl you have foolishly
lhosen blue skin carcass. you have
made a mistake The yellow skinned
varieties are much more desirable for
broiffng purposes, and are sought for
IN most all markets. BY proper
feeding you can have your fowls in
prime condition in two or three
weeks. If by this time you haven't
succeeded In placing the birds in
prime condition your efforts have
been in vain. In many instances where
the feeding has not been skillfully
done the fowls will get .clogged'
and you can not hold them on to
their ration. It win require eight
weeks in all to properly fatten your
fowls, but two or three weeks is
all that should be required for the
finishing touch. Two pound broilers
can be easily made at eight weeks
of age. But if You wish to fatten
your early fowls for the market feed
them all they will clean up of corn
and wheat for two or three weeks.
and you win find they will be fat
and plump, good enough for most any
market. Don't overlook the grit,
charcoal and water for the feeders.
II fowls are fed too heavy they will
go on roost with an empty crop which
will have tendency to put the birds
in the back ground. If so that you
can compel them to go to roost with
full crop you win find they will
fatten very fast, adhering to every
grain given them. When feeding
number Of fowls in one pen provide
feed troughs SO that every fowl will
get full meal. Otherwise you will
have some feeders thin at marketing.
1t should be remembered that feed

Direct Primary Defeats Politicians.

There will be no change in Mime
sofas direct primary law, writes a
st. Paul correspondent. The flood
of bills which has deluged the legis-
lature since the opening of the ses-
sion, all of which aimed at the aboli-
ton OF the primary system and the
restoration of the old convention
system, have come to naught, and
party leaders are agreed that the
sentiment of the state does not iusti-
fly any attempt to change the pres
ent laws.
The states primary law as it at
present stands applies to all public
officers except those of the state ad-
mlnlstration not appointive. "Prac-
tical politician" have protested
from the first against the effects of
the primary law. 1t has made
tremendous step toward the destruc-
ton of party lines. but more serious
still to the professional managers is
the fact that the general effect of
the law has been to help the party
In power and destroy the cohesion of
the party out of power, because of
its lack of any practical means of
maintaining its power by promises
against the future Professional
politicians find their personal follow
ing valueless, and promises futile.
To the party in power-at present
Democratic party in a Republican
state-the situation is different,
since with patronage and power and
authority, it is able not only to
maintain its own strength and &C.
ment its popularity against coming
elections, but is able by judicious
distribution of favors to wean from
the opposing party some who were
strong in former years.
Present political conditions from
the standpoint of the professional
politician are chaotic and impossible
but the people of the state seem to
like it. and the suggestion of changes
in the law has awakened such a pro-
test from all quarters that the legis-
lature will not tamper with the
primary statute, even though it is
admitted that it could be
much improved.

The Audubon societies of the east
are fighting through the papers for
the prevention of the destruction of
American birds. but unless the soci-
ETY. can exert some influence over
the leaders in millinery styles in tn s
country, their case is desperate.
The remains of hundreds of feather
ed songsters adorned the Easter hats
issued in this small town alone. and
if the same mortality of birds was
called out throughout the nation,
the wonder is that there are any
birds left to save.

cluded the railroad and brewery in

these interests need restrictive laws.

The Indians Home.

1t is common idea that the In
dian has no idea of home because he
is always moving as the season and
the game may call him. There is
added to this reason for the belief,
the fact that in the Indian languages
no word is found by which to render
our word home" Mrs. Riggs
writes to the American Missionary
association on this point.
'It seems to me that the Indians
do have some of the ideas of home.
To them as a nomadic people per-
haps no particular place was home,
but the whole country through which
they roamed was home.
Some years ago was travelling
with an Indian woman. Her early
home had been in Minnesota, but
she had been among those who, after
the outbreak of '62, had gone to
eastern Dakota, and when | first
went into the mission work she had
come west to the Missouri river to
help us in our work there.
"On this journey, as we Travelled
into Minnesota, one after another of
the landmarks were recognized by
her, and her "reminiscences came
quick and vivid. Here was Sleepy
Eye, named by her grandfather,
where they forded the river; there
was where they hunted for game;
there where they gathered the wild
rice.

SENATOR CLAGUE WON OUT.

Senator Clague came out first best
in parliamentary bout with Lieut..
Governor Eberhart last Wednesday,
on ruling that meant a postpone
ment of action by the senate on the
tonnage tax measure for an indefn-
ite period. The chair ruled that it
would take two thirds vote to sus-
pend the rules in order to let in the
Senator's motion to adopt the min
ority report on the Bjorge bill. Sen
ator Clague questioned this ruling,
and upon being asked to cite author
tiles, sreplied, Il cite you as an au-
thority. Two years ago you ruled
that a majority could suspend the
rules of this body" The lieutenant
governor admitted that he did, but
that. he was wrong, and asked. Sena-

took a two-thirds vote to suspend
the rules. Il am not the presiding

Redwood Exhibit at Seattle Exposition.

Few people realize the rapidity of
growth of the coast redwood trees
of California. Because some of the
large trees of this family are a
thousand years or more of age, Of
ten attaining a size where they are
larger than any other tree, except
ing the famous Big Trees, redwood
has the reputation Of being a very
slow growing tree. AS a matter of
fact, redwood sprouts growing from
stumps of older trees are among the
most rapid growing of our native
trees.
To illustrate this point, the Unit
ed States Forest Service will exhibit
at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific EXPOSE
ton in Seattle this summer, sections
from young redwood sprout, to-
gether with explanatory diagrams
showing its rate of growth in d.
ameter, height and volume. This
tree, which was cut from the Du-
pont Powder Works tract near
Santa Cruz, is over 80 inches in cir
conference at the stump, almost
125 feet in height, and is only AZ
years of age. These dimensions in
dictate growth Of over one-half
inch in diameter per year, and an
annual growth Of almost 2 TO feet
in height.
Trees Of an even more rapid
growth were seen in the Big River
country Of Mendocino county, Cali
fornia, where Redwood sprouts over
80 inches in diameter on the stump
and 125 to 100 feet in height were
found growing on land cut 40 to as
years ago. Redwood sprouts thus
rival in their rate of growth the
much lauded eucalyptus.

"Homesick longing was in her
voice. Minnesota was home to her,
even after all those years.
The children Of a missionary
family went away to school, and
when they came back for vacation,
one after another spoke Of how
pleasant it was to be at home, or
how sorry they were for other boys
and girls who did not have such a
home. The mother, who had been
silent all this while as to her own
feelings, finally gave word to them,
and told how she had longed for a
better home for them. They were
almost too much astonished to reply,
but at last the little girl of the fam
lily went and put her arms round her
mother and said, Why, mother, you
are home!"
Il fancy something Of this feeling
was had by a little six-year old In
