kind will give you fine control of the

and giving the fowls a chance to get
the upper hand of the lice.
I have been watching a neighbor' s
brooding operations and have found
much in it that pleased me. He has
spare half acre of ground contain
ing about % flult trees and a heavy
pasture grass sod and under nearly
every tree he has placed good sized
coop with open Stat front and holding
from 30 to 40 chickens and the old
Matched and his custom is to give all
the chicks Matched by three hens to a
single hen to mother. The hers can
not get out of the coOps but the
chicks run in and out at WILL By
this method he can, on this little
patch of ground, raise some six hun
after marketing the cockerels the re-
mainder can be raised to maturity
with out overcrowding.
l visited place short time ago
where several hundred chicks we're be-
ing raised in lamp brooders. The
chicks did not look good, they we're
not robust and sleek as [ like to see
them. The brooder house was new
aud clean but there was something
wrong. Well, while L was wondering
about it the owner threw a handful
of grain to the chicks and it was
mystery no longer. The poor little
things were starved, that's all. They
swooped and swirled down on those
few grains of wheat, piled up four
deep and actually fought for it. L
wonder sometimes what proportion
of chicks run the gauntlet Of fool
owners and manage to survive. Take
the whole country over and I'll ven
ture to say that not more than one in
four pulls through. Millions of
chicks are killed annually by over
feeding when first Matched, but mill
ions more are stunted in their grow tn
and finally turn up their anaemic
little toes through being feed SO mig
gardly that it amounts to starvation.
When first Matched the chick should
receive no food for 48 hours, after
that it should be iced sparingly but
frequently, six times a day is not too
often and at night the crop should be
reasonably pumped out. When two
weeks old, chicks should be fed all
that they can eat with relish and good
strong food too, good dly mash on
tap all the time and three good grain
feeds day and cooked meat three
times week. Until a chick natures
it should be we'll fed and people who
are SO constituted that it pains them
to feed literally the chickens that
have not yet reached the producing
age have no business monkeying with
poultry raising.

REFORM FIGHT
Renewed BY
GOV. HUGHES

Batavia, N. Y, June 11--As the tirsr
blast In the approaching struggle over
the direct nomination law at the spe-
cial session Of the state legislature on
June 20 Governor Charles u. Hughes
delivered an eloquent address on the
proposed reform at the banquet of the
Batavia board of trade
The governors words were greeted
with tremendous enthusiasm.
The address was delivered before a
gathering thoroughly representative of
this portion of the state Forty sena-
tors and assemblymen representing
districts west Of Syracuse were pres
ent
Although preparations for the BAN
quet were begun only a week ago, it
excited tremendous interest. The de-
feat of the Hughes direct nominations
bill and the passage of the Phillips
Meade machine bill, later vetoed by
the governor, aroused western New
York.
Discussing direct nominations, Gov
ernor Hughes said in part:
The evil which we attack Is not parti-
san. Whatever label its Instruments may
bear at a given time. they are used for a
common purpose, And ever and anon
their community OF work and interest
stands revealed.
To overcome this opposition those who
are alive to the evils that have existed
and are sincerely desIrous to abate them
should unite their forces, and public sem
timent should be strongly expressed. This
is your contest. not mine. / am simply

gence and morality of the state.

more keenly than / the necessity Of the
former and the Importance of the latter.
But we want a square deal' in parties.
Those who represent parties in their or
ganization should be directly chosen by
the party voters, and they should be
made strictly accountable by simple meth
DDS to the party voters. The party man
ayers should have a fair opportunity for
the presentation to the party OF the names
of candidates for nomination for public
office. Put under reasonable check, this
opportunity will facilitate leadership and
provide the party with all the important
advantages of organized effort. But he
final decision should rest with the party
voters, and to secure this they should cx-
press their choice with respect 70 each
candidate for nomination. Let the man.

suitably recognized in his selection oppo-
sition viii be futile and unnecessary. But
concurrence with respect to one selection
should not embarrass opposition with re-
spect to others There Is no difficulty if
there is real desire to have an organ

their true weights by means of false
end fraudulent statements prior to
March 1, 1907. The maximum penalty
on this count is two years imprison-

the first four counts of the indictment
the maximum penalty is two years or
5000 or both on each count. The PEN

that on the sixth. Gerbracht, who was
convicted on all counts. can be given
the maximum total sentence Of twelve

1t is probable that counsel for Heike

at once, and 1t Is understood that
Heikc's immunity plea, which has
been left open by the United States
supreme court, will be included in the
appeal. The record which must be pre-

brother, Lyon Mearson, came to this
city and took his sister back TO New
York
The girl on Monday afternoon about
9 o'clock walked into the house OF
David HubbelI. butcher residing in
Woodbridge, seven miles west Of this
city. She didn't even knock at the
door of the Hubbell home. Mrs. Hub
bell asked the girl where she came
from and what she was doing In such
an out OF the way place as Wood
bridge. Where the HubbeH home Is
lAcated is three miles at least from the
end of the trolley line and the girl
must have walked that distance to get
there, for there is no stage running to
Woodbridge from Westville, where the
trolley line ends. From there she
went to the Bassett home. The girl
said her name was Marie Burns, that
her mother and father were dead and
that she had run away from her un-
cle's home in Stamford that day.
