BENEFITS OF POULTRY SHOW
sinner-Gives Faneier Chance to
See Live Birds.
CBy II II. WHITLEY

The educational value of the poul-
try show to the fancier, and particu-
larly to the beginner, cannot be over
estimated. A study of the standard
or other descriptions without the OPP
portunity to see live specimens could
eve give the clear, concise concep-
ton of a variety which the poultry
birds creates. Nor is this benefit
lost to the experienced f~ancier, for
every opportunity which he gets to
see the birds of his competitors and to
meet and exchange ideas with his fel.
low-breeders Is Of direct educational
value. After all, poultry breeding,
ike all other livestock breeding. fol-
lows certain fashions. which are con-
stantly changing more or less slowly,
and for this reason the fancier who
never has opportunity to observe 9th.
er mems stock can scarcely expect to
keep abreast of these fashions in
birds. To the fanciers, therefore, both
old and new, the poultry show is a lib
eral education, and in some sense a
necessity.
To those not particularly familiar
with poultry and who attend the show
largely from curiosity the exhibition
has a distinct educational value. II
opens their eyes to the extent and
degree to which poultry breeding has
been carried, and brings a realization
Of Importance of the industry. In this
relation the show has a direct value to
the industry in arousing interest in
poultry breeding and in gaining many
lev recruits.
To the plain or utility poultryman
the show has, Of course, an education
al value. 1t may open his eyes to the
value of pure-bred stock as compared
with scrub or mongrel stock, though
here it would seem to fail somewhat
in its possibilities. The writer has
been informed, however, that this ed.
vocational influence is felt in the in

These bright days make work in tho
poultry yard a real pleasure.
Hens should not be expected to
snow.
Hens will not lay well or thrive
unless they have plenty of sunlight.
Keep the windows clean.
The idea of perfect comfort should
predominant in every building that is
constructed for the chickens.
When fenced away from the gar
dens and flower beds fowls do little
damage and cause scarcely any annoy
ance on a farm.
Chickens will not scratch when they
are overfed o when there Is no
feed in the litter. The idea Is to keep
them scratching.
The material from which egg shells
are made is carbonate Of lime and
there are many forms In which this
may be furnished.
Hens that are not laying these days
can coaxed sometimes by feeding
them q small amount of cut bone or
fresh meat in some form.
When it becomes necessary to wash
eggs on account Of their becoming
soiled In the nest, don't use soap or
anything else but luke warm water.
The Indian Runner duck is TO the
duck family what the Leghorn Is to
the hen family. They are great lay
ers, but not so suitable for market
purposes.
If you keep the poultry u as
clean as the dairy house and use
equal energy and good sense In ev-
cry other branch of the business you
will make money.
Always pick up the feed troughs
that are used In the pen after each
meal, and put them back against the
side of the building where they Will
not become filthy.
II you would have eggs IN the win
ter try to initiate nature as much as
possible. See that the fowls are com
Portable and that they get plenty OF
fresh air, light and exercise.

How to Feed the Fiocks.

Scratching is of more importance
than feeding, and it is not necessary
to feed them more than twice a day,
as the noon meal usually satisfies the
fowls that they will not be inclined to
scratch and then exercise. The hen
that has to hustle for part of her liv-
ing will be laying eggs while the over
fed hen is serenely digesting her food
and quietly waiting for her owner to
bring more.

creasing difficulty which is met by
fanciers in selling Gull stock. The in
ddustrial exhibits are also valuable to
the poultryman, quite as much so, in
fact, as to the fancier. To this class
the show should have a much more
far-reaching effect that at present ex-
lists, and it is in this respect that re-
forms should be initiated.

REVISE CRIMINAL
PRACTICE LAWS
Illinois States Attorneys Desire sey-
craI Changes in Criminal Prae-
tees Act Of State.

At the state meeting of Illinois
States Attorneys, held at Springfield
recently, States Attorney Gilmer, OF
Quincy, was named as a member of
the legislative committee appointed
to obtain several changes in the GRIM
inal practices act of the state. The
committee is composed of twenty-four
members who will draft amendments
to the act to be presented before the
next general assembly for adoption.
One of the chief changes desired is
a repeal of that part of the law which
prohibits comment on the part OF the
state when the defendant does not
testify in his own behalf and which
provides that the fact that he does
not testify shall not be used against
him by the jury in considering the
case.
Other Proposed Changes in Laws.
Other amendments to the laws
which the executive committee de-
cided to ask the legislature to make
were the following:
To amend the parole law 80 az to
give the jury power to fix the maxi
mum sentence in finding defendant
guilty and the court to fix the maxi
mum sentences in cases where the de-
fendant pleaded guilty.
To raise the limit of petit larceny
from s15 to $50 and give the courts
jurisdiction to try such cases. The
court now cannot try cases where the
amount is over SIS.
To make petty larceny non-in-
famous crime so that the county
courts and the municipal court of
Cook County can try such cases on In
formation.
To simplify the pleading in Grimm.
al practice by abolishing the common
law pleadings, which, the association
claims are very complicated.
Giving the state the right to appeal
from the decisions of the trial court
in quashing of indictments and to ap-
peal from the rulings of the trial
court in the matter Of the admission
of evidence so that where defendants
are acquitted the rulings OF the trial
court can be adjudicated by the su-
preme court az a guide in future
cases.

PURCHASE OF ACID
Druggist Declares keIleher Was Not
Intoxicated and Said he Wanted
it to Battle His
Feet in.

The inquest over the death OF Math-
las Kelleher was held this morning
at o'clock. 1t lasted but a few min
utes and the jury's verdict was that
he came to his death by carbolic acid
poison, administered by his own hand"
The testimony of only three witness
es was taken, the Jury hearing the
oral testimony of Miss Nellie Kelleher
and the written testimony OF Dr. w
Frank Brown and VIM NJ. HogIe. The
testimony of Miss Kelleher added
practically nothing to the story pub
lished in The Gate City Sunday morn
ing. DR.. Brown testified that the man
was dead upon his arrival, while DR..
Hogle, who arrived a few minutes
earlier, said that Kelleher expired a
few minutes after he reached his side.
The jury returning the verdict was
composed of Michael Hollingsworth,
John r. Dimond and Charles V, Ell
ner.
While the facts associated with the
suicides purchase of tie carbolic acid.
with which he committed the deed,
were not disclosed in the evidene
laid before the coroher's jury, the
druggist who sold Kelleher the poison
states that the purchaser was not
intoxicated at the time, as his family
was inclined to believe. For reason
as to buying the carbolic acid Kelleher
said that he wanted it to battle his
sore feet in.

u. S. Senators Cost y. S
$2,Ol2,374.
(American News Scrvice)


Washington, Dec. 20.-The annual
report of the secretary of state was
made public today. 1t shows that
senators cost the United States ST.
O12,37452 from July l, 1909, to June
80, 1910. This money included every
thing from railroad fare to the price
of bottles of perfumery, manicure
scissors, lemons, sugar and sofa pill
lows. The items in the report, print
ed in fine type, cover more than 700
pages. Any one who has the lurking
suspicion that senators don't imbibe
water freely should glance at the re-
cord Of s1,s34 spent for apollinaris
water. More than $4,000 was expend-
ed for other mineral waters. Thrice
gold framed mirrors for senators
stand your Uncle Sam S64 each. One
day Senator Bourne called up Senator
Aldrich over the long distance tele-
phone between Washington and Provi-
dence. The cost of this conversation
was $3.50. The automobile of Vice
President Sherman cost $4,000 to OPP
crate. Senators are strong on tele-
grams. Page after page is devoted to
telegraph items. The bust of former
President Roosevelt cost $500
