TIE POULTRY YARD.
From January Farm Journal.

From January Farm Journal.
Gather the eggs several times a
day.
Clean out the nest boxes and burn
the old straw.
A good grain mixture for winter
evening feeding is two-fourths whole
corn, o~ne-fourth wheat and one-fourth
oats.
Chanseable weather this month is
apt to develop colds. Keep a close
watch on the stock, and at once re-
move an ailing bird from the flock.
A warm, dry coop or cage, and a
one-grain q%uinine pill each night for
three nights in succession, will o
bring the bird back to good health.
1 kept close watch of my flock,
and the hens that began to lay first
after molting l put into separate
pens. From these pens / gathered
my eggs for Matching, and by SO do
ing l have wonderfully improved the
laying qualities of my flock. This
mating has also been the means OF
rearing birds with stronger consti-
tutions-more hardy and vigorous.
Ventilation that comes in every
where through the cracks is not cen
t~ilation at all; it is cold shivers up
and down the back and lots of dis
comfort. Don't let it De that way
in your houses.
l never crowd too many into one
house; six square feet Of floor space
for each bird is about right. / have
found double-board floors, up off the
ground, the best. l keep plenty of
straw on the floors and throw the
grain in this so they must work to
find it.
In cold weather I feed oats and
bran mixed with milk or warm
water. 1 allow the mixture to stand
over night, and feed warm in the
morning. In the afternoon I feed
corn. I keep ground bone in "a box
where the fowls can have free access
to it. Occasionally 1 also supply
oyster-shell. The chill is taken off
the drinking water. The floor of the
coop is bedded with straw or other
litter. l have pullets that were
Matched in July that began laying in
January. One pullet in particular
began December Goth, and is still
laying.

WASHINGTON, D. members OF
Congress who insist that the salary
of $500 q year, which they receive
now. does not go as far is their old
salarv of $4,000 did a few years ego,
are much ~agitated over the rapidly
increasing prices Of the necessities or
life. This subject promises be
talked about a greatdeal in the House
and Senate this year. 1t is regarded
as practically certain that a Joint
commission will be appointed to In
r~estigate.
A resolution by Mr.. Hull, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, provides for a
committee Of seven REPRESENTATIVES
and five Senators to investigate II the
high prices are due to:
1. Trusts and combinations.
Q. The increased volume Of money.
8. Increase in city population.
&, Increase in demand AID de-
crease in supply.
S. increase of the Governments
bonded debt, or
g. The tariff.
This resolution declares that the
prices of the necessities of life have
increased from eleven to thirty per
cent. in the last twelve months. 1t is
asserted that the high prices Of beef
have enabled the Armour Packing
Company to make a net profit of more
than thirty-five per cent. OF its Can't
t~alization. Mr.. Hull charges that the
price Of sugar IS two cents q pound
higher in the United States than In
foreign countries and that this COM
modify Is controlled by the Sugar
Trust.
The most interesting development
IN the high price problem at the Capt.
tel was a carefully prepared speech
by Mr.. Douglas, of.Ohio, who succeed
ed that eminent statistician and prog
n%osticator, Charles Henry Grosvenor.
Ever since MI. Douglas was attending
a performance in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, and a pair
of opera glasses fell from the third
balcony and bounced of his head. he
has been deeply interested in weighty
problems. He has given a great deal
of thought to this subject, and turned
loose the result, in a 7O00-word
speech.
Mr.. Douglas has a theory that he
thinks would settle this high price
proposition. He believes that II coun-
try life could be made sufficiently at
tractive to intelligent men and wom-
en-, farm houses fitted with open
plumbing, pianolas and mission wood
furniture and the. land toned up and

and proceed to get wealthy.
This, in its turn. would result in
greatly increasing the production OF
all the necessities of life, which in
volume have fallen behind the stead
lily increasing percentage of popula-
ton. He had all imposing array Of
figures to present to the House to
prove that while the population of the
United States hadheen jumping ahead
by leaps and bounds for the last
twenty years the production of cattle,
hogs, sheep, grain, potatoes and other
meat and vegetables, staples had fall
en- behind.
Out on his farm in Ohio Mr.. Doug
las raises lots of things. One of the
ways he makes money so that he can
stay in Congress is by fattening thin
cattle and selling them to the Beef
Trust.
"I get so nuch money for my fat
stock" he said, with tears In his eyes,
that l I'm ashamed to take It,"
Mr.. Douglas added that any man
who had been running a decent farm
for the last five years and hadn't got
so wealthy that he had Brussels car
pet on the woodshed floor ind a pedt-
greed Great Dane sitting on the front
porch had only himself to blame.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
told Mr.. Douglas Just the other day.
he said, Of an instance in New York
not six miles from Ithaca where land
had been sold recently for So an acre.
Representatives John Dwight and
Dryden and Representative Bennett,
Of the Bronx, later confirmed these
figures.
:. The Secretary also told Mr.. Doug
las Of the LAST Of a New York farmer
who had a poor, worn-out hill farm
on which he had raised the year be-
fore only twenty bushels Of potatoes
to the acre. At that none of them
were large enough for market. The
farmer was induced by an agent OF
, the Department TO try an experiment
with his land. He was supplied with
Government seed potatoes, told how
to do the trick, and without the nse
Of fertilizer he came across with zoo
bushels to the acre. and since then
has raised nothing but potatoes.
That Mr.. Douglas considers an ar
gument for a greatly increased appro-
| prlation for agricultural purposes.

Hardshell Baptists Down South.

Thirty years ago young men were
leaving the Baptist ministry because
they were required to preach close
communion. Now there is nobody
hereabout to defend it. Even Profes-
sor Wilkinson is silent. (,
In the South the doctrine still sur
wives. A Baptist church in Atlanta
called Hugh S. Wallace to be its pas
tor. He told them that he did not be-
lieve in close communion, but they
said that made no difference and
unanimously called him.
The ministers refused to ordain
him and the people still stood by him.
A second time the committee Of min
listers declined, and this time the
church weakened and Mr.. Wallace
withdrew, but he has SET up a tent
to preach in and Will build a church
of This own.-The independent.
