Editor REPUBLICAN,
There was recently In Washington City
an important conference Of charitable or.
carnations. and in the opening address
Cardinal Gibbons quoted the scripture
which says, that the poor VIC shall always
have with us; he also said where there
was the most wealth. there was found
the greatest poverty. II these conditions
as existing today I've attributed to divine
will, it i, simply all objectionable insult
10 the One we call Father. The masses
of men doomed by unjust conditions to
intolerable poverty, appeal first to their
church,nen as judges in a supreme tri-
bunal; the result is, as far as I can see. a
relief through charitable organizations,
and, as Count Tolstoi says. the rich will
do anything for the poor, but get of
their backs.
do no, believe all that a priest tells
me; one in Chicago says that if you give
ten acres of land to a socialist he ceases
to be a socialist; another in Philadelphia
saws that catholic layinen have the ag
pressiveness of rabbits, and that their
zeal for the church is to be likened to
the hole in doughnut. Many who read
this will think i'll of the Catholic
church, in place Of laughing at the ig
norance of foreign priests regarding con-
ditions in this Republic. The church.
men, to me, are all aristocratically con.
servative, and if one should protest
against the condition which dooms men
TO irremediable poverty, and advocate
some measure OF relief, he is ostracized,
his character as a prizes. is DETAINED even
after his death, Ask the World, of Chi
cago, a catholic paper backed by Bishop
Quigley, if he did not compare Rev. Ed
ward McGlynn to Judas Iscariot. l wrote
to the paper and to the bishop, they al
lowed the Infamous lie to remain. What
became Of Thomas McNulty, of County
Meath, Ireland? Did not the Principal
of the most fashionable institution in st.
Louis tell my daughter that Henry
George was a Socialist, and that Father
McGlynn was compelled to %recant, as a
condition Of acquittal before the inquis.
ition at Washington City; and all these
people read the scripture, 1.-THE Truth
shall make you Free" Chief Justice
Marshall has said that ''the power to tax
involves the power to destroy" and I see
this to be true; so, with Father McGlynn
who is dead, l repeat before all the char
ity conferences Of the universe, that a

was the sin of the world today. How

ence Of the cat was defended on the
score that it kept down the rats and

Leeping down rats and mice, and that
the harm they did far more than off

posed to do. 1t was demonstrated
that they were nuisance and a

which comes under the head of rea-
sonable surmise-and the indictment
Is severe against family pets. When

there Is no question that family pets

WOMAN RUNS A MOUSE FARM

Why is the average woman more
afraid of mouse than of her hus,
bands wrath over her milliner's bill?
Why at the sight of wee, inoffensive
rodent, will she fly screaming to
table or chair to the accompaniment
OF reckless display of hosiery? And
can anybody under the sun explain
why the nervy young woman who will
grapple with and capture a burglar
and turn him over to the police, will
pull off lovely fainting fit # anybody
shouts, Look at the mousei"
Absolutely for the first time in be-
fTilled wOmandom, a real, live and nor
nal woman has advanced to the firing
line with answers to the foregoing
question. This daring woman is Miss
Abbie E. c. Lathrop, the owner Of a.
successful mouse farm at CRANKY,
Mass. She raises yearly from 5000 to
10000 rats and mice for medical lab
oratories.
s'Woman's fear of the mouse" says
Miss Lathrop, q believe dates back to,
the Garden of Eden. There can be no
possible doubt about it, for as far back
as | have been able to go in the his
tory of the world, women have hoped,
skipped and jumped at the sight of a
mouse"
In her rodent family, Miss Lathrop
has mice of ten different colors and
20 combinations of color. White is
ordinary and black is not startling,
but when it comes to cream-colored
mice or orange mice, one is surprised
She also has silver, blue and agouti
mice.
The red mice are much the color of
the bay of a horse and the blue mouse
is about the color Of a maltese cat
The agouti mice have dark brown hair
with yellow tips which gives a golden
brown effect. Her silver mice with
ruby eyes are the rarest combinations.
One of the most remarkable things
about Miss Lathrop's farm Is her an
CORA cat Tab" This feline will not
allow a strange cat on the farm and
she protects Miss Lathrpp's rats and
mice.

Dogs and Cats Should Be Elm
mated From All Cities.
Health Commissioner Evans of Chi
cage Says Animals Spread Con-
tagon and Are Responsible
for Great Many Deaths.

Chicago. - Health Commissioner
Evans put ban on cats. dogs and
other pets.
He declared that they were a means
of spreading contagion, and undoubt-
eddy were responsible for many deaths
in year.
There Is no question in my mind,
he said, "but that dogs and cats, es-
pecially the latter, should not be per.
mitted in cities.
Without doubt they carry con-
tagion and are responsible for many
deaths annually-1ust how many no
man can surmise.
We quarantine a house where
there is scarlet fever for instance. 1t
has been established that contagion
Is spread principally through con.
tact. we say: No one inside the
house shall come out, no one outside
shall come in But there Is a fam
lily cat. 1t is constantly in contact
with infected things, If not actually
stroked by the sufferer.
THE cat runs in and out. through
doors and windows. 1t roams about
the nefghborhood. 1t is stroked and
petted by the neighbors' children.
Much contagion certainly is carried in
this manner. Parents should guard
against cat from infected premises
as carefully as against children from
the same premises
But the cat Is not nearly as easily
guarded against.
The dog to a minor degree spreads
contagion, in minor degree because
dog as a rule sticks closer to his
masters house.
Dogs. though, are a general NUS
ance, and they spread the deadly
rabies. Not all cases are of local
origin, many persons being brought
to Chicago for treatment
1T is in the spread of contagion,

RATION TO FATTEN POULTRY
Method Adopted at Maine Station and
Gives Much Satisfaction-Coops
Are Used

At the Maine station the following
ration for fattening is fed to fowls in
small pens with great success.
Hundred parts of cornmeal.
Hundred parts wheat middlings.
Forty parts of meat meal.
This was fed as porridge, thick
enough to drop, but not run, from a
spoon. Milk is preferable for moisten-
ing the mixture.
French and English fatteners who
make speciality Of the business of
fattening thousands of chickens each
year confine them in small coops. The
coops used at the Maine station had
floor space of IS by % inches, In
each Of which four chickens were
placed. This method can be used
when the space is limited. At the
Maine station it was found that chick.
ems fattened in pen put on sJeight
as rapidly and at as low cost as those
in crates or on which examining ma.
chimes were used
Where a pen is used the fowls
should have shade, grit and the water
must be fresh and plentiful. Feed
them three times a day and be care
full to see that none is left in the
troughs between meals.

All poultry that are not purebred
are not scrubs.
When growing fowls expressly for
market, many poultrymen prefer cross
breds
The houses and pens the fowls are
placed in should be scrupulously
clean.
Generally hen with nice, clean
cut head and full. bright eye will
be a good layer.
Crossing an African gander on Tou-
louise geese is said to give the largest
sized offspring.
It is well to consider what is the
best treatment Of fowls while they
are passing through the moult.
Fowls always seem to moult earlier
and quicker when they are warm
and in places where they are exposed
to the sun.
When moulting actually commences.
it is best to feed literally on rations
which are easy of digestion and rich
in protein.
The cockerels should be culled out
early and sent to market. Pullets will
develop much better if this is done.
Some hens in every yard are too old
for good service. Have you any?
Good time right now to get rid OF
them. /!
Among the several varieties of the
Cochin family the Partridge is consid-
cred by many to be the most beautiful.
SKINNED milk is a good feed not
only for raising calves, and pigs, but
if is also an excellent feed for raising
chicks and for egg production. >
It is as difficult to name the best
breed of fowls as it is to name the
best breed of hogs or sheep, or the
hest make of corn planter or cream
separator.
Many people are realizing the profit
in raising heavy geese, as they are
worth more a pound than the lighter
breeds and every year there is moro
demand for the Toulouse.
Of first importance is to keep young
stock growing vigorously. Too many
poult:y raisers compel their young
stock to shift too much for itself our
ing the middle and last summer
months.

CANADIAN GRADING OF EGGS

fication.

The Poultry Producers Association
of Canada has been making an effort
to provide a classification and grad
ing for dressed poultry and eggs. Last
year number of grades were adopted
for the use of poultrymen and at pres
ent the secretary wishes to get the
views of producers and dealers in re-
gard to any amendment of the grad
ing rules that may seem desirable.
In the grading of eggs it is laid
down as first requirement that they
must all be shipped new laid. A new
laiC egg is an egg that is not over
five days old when shipped, an egg
that has been gathered promptly and
kerr in a moderately dry, cool place
(under so degrees), free from foul
odors and other communicating inf1u-

TWINS FIRST MEET WHEN 80
Brothers Were Parted Almost at Birth
and Come Together After
Many Years.

Greensburg, Pa.-Separated a few
days after BIRTH SO years ago, neither
having seen the other, Amos and Cyrus
Lape, twins, met here for the first
time.
Amos is employed near Export, and
few days ago stranger approached
him with the greeting, Hello, Cy, what
are you doing here?" Amos, with quiet
dignity, informed the stranger his
name was not "Cy." The stranger apol-
ogized, saying he thought Amos was
Cyrus Lape.
Questioning developed that Cyrus
lived at Dunbar, Fayette county. The
meeting followed, and the twin bro
theirs have gone to Amos house at
belmont.
Amos and Cyrus Lape were born az
Blackjack, Indiana county. A few
days after their birth their mother
died. The boys were placed with Two
families, living some distance from
each other, and neither boy ever knew
of the whereabouts of the other.

YCLk

The light it will be seen that the air
space in the large end is very small
and the yolk almost invisible AS the
age continues the air space enlarges
and the yolk becomes visible as shown
in the illustration. Rough shelled and
abnormal eggs should never be
shipped. Through some markets may
call for several grades of eggs as a
general rule there is no necessity for
many grades. What the best trade
demands is freshness, grading, uni
formity in packing and regularity in
supply.
For ordinary purposes two grades of
eggs will be found sufficient to salts
fly the demands made on the producer
vix.: New laid selects and No. 1. An
other grade of common stock may for
time be marketed, but they must
not be sold under the brand of the
association.
New Laid Selects.-These are to
consist of strictly new laid eggs, not
over five days old, weighing not less
than twenty-four ounces to the dozen.

Rev. Thomas Eddleston, formerly
rector of High Roding, Essex, Eng,
recently commenced his duties as
vicar of Braintree, and in an address
from the pulpit explained why he had
transferred from the one living to the
other, thereby sacrificing about $500
a year.
He said before he knew that the
Braintree living was vacant he woke
up in the middle of the night at High
Roding, and heard a strange passage
Of Scripture ringing in his ears
Take this child away and nurse it
for me, and l will give thee thy
wages"
The vicar said he thought there
must be child in distress at High
Roding, and he searched about the
parish for two days to see If there
was anyone being neglected, but he
could find no one. Then he received
the offer of the living at Braintree,
and regarding it as a direct call from
God, he accepted, as he considered 1t
his duty to undertake the nursing of
the children of Braintree.
