Men Not Party

Vote for men this spring to fill the
city offices who are the best qualified for
the positions they seek regardless IF
politics, for no politics is involved in
the matter of an election, and should not
be in city and county matters. 1t is
men, not party; qualifications should
govern choice and the man who does the
most for the city should be favored at
the polls. Do not be deceived by the cry
of party or any other tommy-rot.

acreage yield per acre in 19O7.)

Ii during the year 1907 the yields OF
the above five crops would have averaged
in the United States the same as in Ger
many it would have increased the pro-
duction of these crops by over two bill
lion bushels, which based on the prices
for that year, would have been worth
over one billion dollars.
This indicates that sugar beets, rO-
tated with other crops, have, besides the
money value of the sugar, a great value
in improving the soil for other crops.

In the case of vegetables, such as
potatoes, turnips and beets, we
should cook them and feed in the

decidedly less grain If they are well
supplied with green feed or vege-

benefit in feeding green feeds.

earth being carried off and fresh earth
or sand returned to it. it will be COM
paratively easy to keep the pens
clean.
The pullets should be in their per-
manent quarters before they begin to
lay, if possible, because moving them
about after they begin laying inter-
rupts egg production; if possible,
then, do not disturb them after they
have begun to lay. The breeders who
consider show points fully understand
the influence Of moving birds from
one pen to another, and If pullets in
tended for a winter show begin to
lay, they move them from pen to pen
or change them from one place to
another to check the tendency to
lay. We can take a hint from their
methods and not do what will tend to
check laying. 1t takes them a little
time to become accustomed to their
new surroundings, and during this
time they usually stop laying if they
have begun; hence, the Importance
of having them in their winter home
before laying begins.
When pullets first begin laying
they are frequently very irregular
about it; one pullet may lay every
other day; another only twice a week
and others only once week at first.
