over the U1ited Stabes, but Chiefly In
tue states just below the Dominion
boundary. These tales have sent tens
of thousands OF Americans into Mani
tobs, Assinibola, Alberta, British
Columbia aud other provinces In the
past half dozen years. Lured into
an alien climate and environment,
ard virtually compelled to renounce
allegiance to their own country, the
disappointment VIII ch has come TO
many of them was natural. 10
large extent the Canadians have been
playing a confidence game on Amerl-
can farmers, and the facts are coming
to light. In the interest OF the other
tens OF thousands who may be duped
by Canadian romancers unless the
truth is set before them, the govern
ment at Washington should give wide
publicity to the reports of The re-
turning Americans and to the testi-
mony Of American cOnsuls on the

| the large number that have shadeless
poultry yards. We have visited doz-
ems of poultry places that were up to
date In every respect except shade.
1t is positively cruel to permit the
faithful biddies to soorch and swelt.r
In the summer sun. Remember that
the chicks are growing rapidly and
the coops that were large enough for
them month ago, are decidedly too
small now. Larger coops or small
house should be provided for them.
A good, deep shed, open side facing
the south, with the roosts far back
from the front, makes an excellent
place for the weaned chicks. The
open side should be inclosed with
fine, strong wire netting. Ii is a
good plan to have muslin curtain
inside, that can be let down windy
nights, If desired. A foot-wide board
should be across the bottom OF the
open side, to which the wire netting
should he fastened.

Drifting Back.

Clarence ]. Blanchard, statistlcan
OF the Reclamation Service, who Is al
present at work In Montana, reports
that many recent settlers ia that
state have returned from Canada
after attempting to farm to advant-
age 10 that region. Some OF these
persons told Blanchard that 'practi-
cally every American farmer In the
neighborhoed Of Alberta, where the
Canadian government maintains an
irrigation project, was anxious to get
back II he could sell his holdings In
the Dominion" Over $4,000 haYe
returned in the past nine months.
This report has been sent by
Blanchard to Washington, and 1t is
the duty OF the authorities at
Washington 90 tell 1t to the country.
The story OF disappointed Americans
making their way home from Canada
is not new. Railway officials have
teld it before, Rsd 50 have newspapers
In Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana
and other states Of cur northern
tier. A great many Americans have
been selling their farms In oul
western and northwestern states anc
taking up cheap lands In western
Canada. The Dominion authorities
have been reporting this movement
fer several years, and have been Slee
fully computing the great addition
to the wealth and population Of thei
country which this migration O.
Americans brings them.
But the Canadians neglect to tel
about the streams Of disappoiuee'
Americans who are leaving CaDad
and returning to their own country
Our own officials ought to oil this ga
in the story. Through the advertise

and Of the Canadian railways and In
migration societies the attractions

received by G. B. Amyx in answer to
query which explains itself:
Topeka, July 1910.
G. B. Amyx
Chanute, Kas.
Dear Sir:-Your letter to The Star at
Kansas City has been referred to this
office. Regarding the mum Der of state
employees in 1900 as compared to
those under the Stubbs' admlnistra-
tlun l am unable to give you definite
Information. However l have gained
from the office Of James Nation, state
auditor, other information along the
same line that oughs TO be equally as
interesting
In August, 1908, there were 1904
persons on the state pay roll. In
August, 1909, (under Stubbs) there
were 1888 or an increase Of 134 en-
ployees.
Since the governor has been In
office he has had made these re-
auctions in the states working force,
in the offices under his direct super
vision: Live stock mmissioner-4;
Penitentiary-10; Grain inspection
department-5; Goal oil inspectors
departments; Deaf and dumb
SCHOOL,.
All OF the increases are fer the
State Normal school, University,
Agricultural school, Quindaro school,
Soldiers Home at Dodge City, Topeka
State hospital, ,sawatomie asylum,
Attorney generals office. Superihten-
dent of public instruction, Snperir.
tendent of insurance, state account
ant, Librarian, Board of health, His
torical society, Labor commissioner
and Tax commissioners.
So it will be seen that while thera
has been an increase In the number
Of employees In the last hscal year
yet in every instance where Governor
Stubbs has had direct supervision the
working force has been decreased.
The increases have been for better
purposes and for the
better care of the states helpless.
Sincerely yours,
FRED. S. BULLENE.

Unflatterinu Truth,

A Chicago physician gleelully tells
n child story at his own expense. The
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay In the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days Of convalescense, for the reason
OF this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
I'VE felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glad to see you, always, cause you
