The first requisite to a good hatch
is healthy parent stock well mated.
AS soon as your hens quit laying sell
them to the butcher.
Generally fowls hat feather early
are good egg producers. good sitters
and good mothers.
Charcoal is a corrective and not a
medicine. 1t absorbs gases and pro
notes digestion of the food.
The more the fowls are distributed
over the farm in summer the more
productive they will be.
If you feed mash in troughs, feed 1t
In clean troughs. Dirt has nothing to
do with a balanced ration.
Empty all the water receptacles at
night, so as to start with fresh water
In the morning.
Clean out the nest boxes OCCASION
ally. putting in q fresh supply of bed
ding.
Sweep down the cobwebs from the
walls and roof or they will attract
dust and soon look very unsightly.
Thousands of hens are killed every
year by feeding too much wet foods
and mashes. The greater portion Of
the feed should be dry.
Feed and water ducks at the same
time. You will notice that they take
a sip of water after every two or
three bites of food.
Turkey hens with pullets do not
thrive in closed board houses. Knock
out the side boards and replace with
wire netting.
Any farmer with so acres of land
ought to raise 200 chicks every year
and make a profit on them Of 81 a
head.
The drinking vessels ought to be
scalded with boiling water after being
rinsed with cold water at least once
every day.
II you will number your hens with
q leg band and keep a little book re-
garding each fowl you will find the
work to be doubly interesting.

When fowls are fed soft foods at
night 1t is digested early. and the
fowls get hungry before morning.
Feeding whole grain at night largely
avoids this.
One advantage in. breeding ducks is

STATE FAIR PLANS ON,
mammoth Exhibit of Mississippi Pro
ducts to Be Shown.

1t begins to look like business over
at the old capital grounds, where prep.
aratlonS are on foot for the annual
state fair. Heaped up in splendid
masses, ear the main entrance, are
boulders which were Quarried from
b Mississippi quarries in Tishomin-
go county. The arrival of this ex-
hibit of native stone created a sensa-
ton as the long procession of floats
drew the loads up State street and
finally deposited them in the capitol
grounds in one monster pile. Just
$4,000 pounds is the weight of this
heap of blocks; and no exhibit at the
fair will be finer proof of Mississippi's
undeveloped possibilities than this
mass of stone which was brought di-
rect from thine quarries Of the North
Mississippi Traction COmpany's prop
erty. Hidden away there by the pro-
tecting bosom of Mother Earth are
untold riches, and not the least Of
these, as will be demonstrated speed
fly, are the unlimited stretches of this
fine grade of stone.
Eight hundred acres owned by this
company have vast deposits of the
very finest quality of stone, which
many authorities have pronounced to
be even superior for building purposes
to that of which the magnificent new
capitol was built.
If the state fair should do nothing
more than bring Mississippi people to
a realization of the splendid possibili-
ties of their own great state, by X
hibits such as this, it will easily have
indicated the faith Of its directors
who are working so hard and so 10y
ally to prove to the people of Missis-
sippi that their native state is worthy |
to take the lead in great enterprises. !

No More Argument Needed.

In his enumeration of platform
pledges fulfilled, Mr.. Taft specifies the
promise that the tariff revision should
be so made as to cover only the differ.
ence in cost of production at home and
abroad and a reasonable profit to
manufacturers. No Democratic wit.
nesses need be summoned to estab-
lish the fact that not ever a pretense
was made at following this rule. All
it is necessary to do is to summon
Senator Cummins to the stand, who,
In a series of powerful speeches In
Kansas and other portions of the
west, has shown that the platform ut
terances on this point were totally dis
regarded and seemed even to have
been forgotten.

Size Of our Plymouth Rocks. In color
scheme and head and leg points they
differ strongly from the D%orkings, their
legs and feet being white, skin and
flesh white. and their egg shells light
ly tinted. There are three varieties
recognized by the English standard,
namely, the Red or Brown, the Light
and the Speckled-of the latter is
shown herewith an illustration.
Like the Dorking, the Sussex is rec
ognized primarily in England for it's
plump carcass of white meat, which
is preferred to the yellow carcass SO
much In evidence in u Plymouth
Rocks and W%yandottes. Though not
quite SO large as the Dorking, they are
small of bone, and are rated as better
layers.

She Took No Chances.

"A happily-wedded matron is the
principal OF an odd incident, which
one Of her dear" friends relates.
Before the matron's engagement to
her present husband was announced.
she met her dear" friend on the
street. The new matron was hurryins
toward one Of the large iewelry stores
OF the city.
John gave me an engagement ring"
she explained, without a shadow Of
embarrassment, "and I am going down
to see how much 1t cost. You see, I
got the jewelers. name OF the box"
and she hurried on.
The same friend said that another
bit OF Information the matroR got was
the commercial standing Of the ros
pect1ve husband, which she secured
by paying for a special report from
q commercial agency.

Gold and Cost Of Living.

Stand-pat economists still stick to
the massive theory that the great pro.
duction of gold is the cause of the In
creased cost of living. Their breadth
of knowledge is amazing by its alb
sence.
The higher cost of living Is due to
the higher profits of eastern mill
bosses under special privilege Of the
Aldrich-Taft tariff. To blame 1t on
the Increasing supply OF gold is like
blaming the price of hens eggs on
the war In Nicaragua.

adults. Nature works accurate

A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with

Of any kind Of cereal food. He was
q weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.

Nuts. Well, you never say a child

! good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost

Nuts for breakfast and supper. and I
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance II

my husband had never fancied CO

Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the

Sand for Ducks.

Some people have a notion that
ducks and geese do not need grit, be-
cause they are not seen picking up
large particles Of stone. They do not
need as large a size of grit as hens do.
for they get sand when pudding in
the bottom of the creek and streams
where they forage for weeds and fish.
Ducklings should be provided with
plenty of sand, which takes the place
of grit So, thoroughly do some duck
raisers believe in grit that they mix
sand in the feed that they give their
young ducks.

SHOWS FOR ITSELF
REPUBLICAN, PARTY's RECORD ON
THE TARIFF.
Rubber Schedule OF Payne-Aidrlch
Bill ls Typical Example Of RevI-
sion az Accomplished by It's
~"Friends."

With the declaration Vice-PresidenI
Sherman made In his speech In Enid
Okla, that the present and future
prosperity Of the nation Is dependent
upon the tariff" no intelligent citizen
Of these United States will take issue
With his further declaration that the
election Of a Democrat at the ap'
preaching election will retard the eff.
forts Of the Republican party to form.
ulate a scientific tariff" every sane
observer Of political movements will.
however, take instant issue.
That the Republican party could
under any circumstances approve or
assist the formulation of a scientific
tariff may at once be determined by
consideration of its actual perform
ances. The cardinal tariff doctrine Of
the Republican party, uppermost alike
in parchment and practise, is that the
tariff should only be revised by the
friends of the tariff" The present
law, which is now about a year and q
month old, is the latest concrete ap-
%plication of this Republican doctrine,
and 1t is already stamped with the in
e~ffaceable seal of popular condemna-
ton.
The rubber schedule Is a typical ex-
ample Of what revision of the tariff
by the friends of the tariff really
means. No schedule in the act Of Au-
gust 5. 1909, affords a better illustra-
ton Of what the friends Of the tariff
can be counted on to do when they
undertake the task of revision.
1t is pretty we'll understood now
that the rubber schedule has for it's
friend at the national capitol the one
man who can be said to be of most
potent influence when anything Is pro-
posed that bears on the tariff SEIZED
ules. The chairman of the senate
committee on finance, Nelson w. Al
drich, senator from Rhode Island, is
himself a dealer In rubber.
While Senator Aldrich has admit
ted In a communication, prepared for
publication a month ago, that he is a
stakeholder and a director of the In
tercOntinental Rubber company, he de-
MES that either he or any member Of
his family has ever had any pecuni-
airy interest as to whether the duty on
manufactures of rubber were 80, 80
or 300 per cent" but In the same let
ter he admitted that his company
produced yearly 100000 900 pounds Of
rubber in Mexico alone, and that of a
total worlds product in 1908 of 49,
600, 900 pounds the Intercontinental
company marketed TO- 00, 900 pounds.
Unfortunately, he neglected to say
how much of the product his company
was sold in the United
States, but it is probably fair to say
that the bulk If not the whole of its
product found its market here.
Mr.. Aldrich is peculiarly construct
ed II he felt no concern in the meas
ure of protection accorded to the GUS
with whom he is doing bust
ness. He may say that an advance in
the duty on manufactures of hard rub
Der amounting to II per cent. was not
to his personal advantage, but he will
find it diff cult to convince the Ameri-
can people. What happened in the re-
vision of the rubber schedule upward
Is exactly what must always happen
when "the friends of the tariff" do the
revising.

What fools the Republican leaders
must think the voting citizens of the
United States are. Mr.. Roosevelt has
taken occasion to declare his approval
of President Taft's suggestion regard
ing revision Of the tariff by taking up
one schedule at a time. He subscribes
unqualiledly to the humbug theory
that this program will be a successful
shock absorber in SO far as business II
concerned. The November elections

Laws Interfere With Removal of Cat.
tie From One County to Another.
The Peabody and Gayoso hotels of
Memphis have run up against a snag
around which they will have to navi-
gate carefully. These hotels maintain
a great dairy farm e Horn Lake,
DeSOtO county, near the Tennessee
line. Here they have built magnif-
cent quarters for the COWS, which are
to supply their guests with milk and
butter. The buildings are of concrete
the stables, silos, milk rooms, etc.,
being built with a view to perma-
nency, and it is the intention of the
management to enlarge and expand
the business till it brings in milk
during the year about 500 COWS of
high grade.
Some time since this DeSoto county
enterprise purchased a herd Of cattle
neal Grace, Issaquena county, and on
attempting to move them discovered
that quarantine lines must be crossed
and that they were up against Uncle
Sam" as well as the state of Missis-
sippi. Being in a Quandary as to what
to do, an appeal vas made to Com
missioner Of Agriculture Blakeslee at
Jackson, and that gentleman has just
advised the hotels at interest that the
cattle cannot be moved from Issa-
Quena to DeSoto-the cattle tick fight
having been waged there for two
years, and their pastures being free of
the pests and qu~arantined against all
counties that have not made the fight
against the tick.
