viewers broke the news of the setback
to the Nebraskan, and the colonel asked
whether the differences Of opinion had
arisen because Mr.. Bryan went too far
or not far enough in his proposed tenn
perance legislation After he was told
that the former seemed to fit the case,
there was nothing which he cared TO
add in comment on Mr. Bryan

Mr.. Roosevelt today. When Mr.. koose-
welt was in New York last Friday. he
told interviewers. after a conference
with several politicians. he had had an
interesting discussion on literature
The newspapers printed his little joke,
which brought forth the letter received
today.
The writer accused the ex-president
OF trying to make people think that
he had been discussing literature in

ing:

The Platform.

state conventions as the expression OF
the party in the Presidents own state,
opens with a warm endorsement OF the
chief executive. Senator Dick. who

for specific endorsement.
The portions of the platform dealing
with the administration. Congress and
with the tariff are in full as follows:

MR.. BURLESON'S OPINION

Editor Ranch:
Dear Sir:-l was both interested and
amused by Mr.. Wightman's letters.
His explanation of the reason why a
Leghorn hen eats more than Ply
mouth Rock is interesting and has the
virtue of novelty but is based on
false premises since the Leghorn does
not eat more than the Rock unless
the Rock is seriously off its feed. At
least l may say that where l lived
in the east, the Plymouth Rocks were
much heavier eaters than the Leg
horns and though L have not raised
any poultry since coming to the coast
l do not believe that the Washington
fowls differ much in their appetites
from those Of illinois. According to
Mr.. Wightman' 8 theory that the most
active bird is bound to eat the most,
a humming bird would require more
food than either Rock or Leghorn.
Yours respectfully,
A. E. Burleson.

Letters from Poultry Raisers

Editor Ranch:
Dear Sir Like Mr.. Wightman,
don't want to get into a controversy
with anyone but | am bound to say
that my experience feeding Rocks and
Leghorns is different from his. Ny
Barred Rocks eat half as much again
as the Leghorns did. | found that
quarter of pound of grain day
was sufficient for the Legholns. By
that I mean the average throughout
the year. They ate more, when lay
ing heavily and less than that when
resting. Like Mr.. Wightman, l found
that my Leghorns rested at times from
their labors though they made less
noise about it chan the Plymouth
Rocks did but on the whole they did
less resting and got more eggs from
them in the course of the year and at
much less cost for feed.
Yours truly,
l.. Murdoch.

range outside the building but never

brooder of chicks is moved some of
them receive a severe check to their
growth, and it is great improvement
over present methods to rear the
chicks from birth to maturity with
out change of quarters. ITO be con-

Editor Poultry Dept,


Editor Poultry Dept,
The Ranch:
Dear Sir:-I had not intended to
break into the discussion which Mr..
Wightman is carrying on in your col
umns but it seems to me be is too
peevish in his second letter. | am in
complete agreement with the editorial
opinion that he overestimated the
amount of food necessary for Leg
horn by about so pounds, and | can't
see why he should be peeved at being
so gently disagreed with. We are each
one of us entitled to his opinion and
in spite of Mr.. Wigbtman's prohibi
ton of "thinks" and "believes' |
want to say that think the Plymouth
Rock is b feathered hog and that Mr..
w. is seriously mistaken when he says
they eat less than the Legtorns.

HOW SHALL We BUILD?

1t will soon be time to make plans
for the permanent housing OF this
springs crop of chicks and to figure
how to get the best results from the
expenditure of the least possible
amount of money. Speaking gener
ally the cost of equipping for the care
of a flock of chickens is in inverse
ratio to the amount of land available.
At one extreme is the colony plan,
at the other is the intensive plan
which is reduced to an absurdity in
the Philo system. | favor conditions
somewhere near the natural yet would
not care to initiate friend of mine
who, getting the back to nature idea,
turned his chickens out into ravine
full of stumps, underbrush and fallen
trees where they thrlved exceedingly
and led happy and joyous lives, but
proved an unpr o6table investment as
their eggs we're laid in undiscoverable
hiding places in the wilderness. But
| do believe in plenty Of room for the
fowls and therefore [ am strongly Op-
posed to the intensive system of
poultry raising.
In our last number l quoted from
an article of Editor Robinson's in
Farm Poultry He says, speaking
of the intensive system, that neither
the land, the man nor the fowls can
stand it, In this he is right. A great
many poultry plants are compro-
mise, embodying features of both sys-
TENS, but the colony plan gives the
best resuslts with the least risk OF
deterioration of the flock and the
worry that such possible contingency
entails. Broadly speaking it may be
said that most successful poultry
ranches, where the sale of eggs and
poultry on strictly market basis is
the object, are opera ted on the colony
plan, while the majority Of the sue
cessful raisers of poultry for breeding
purposes have found it advisable to
combine features of both methods.
This, however, is generally matter
of necessity with them as the breeder
is generally forced to sacrifice room
to convenience of location and good
shipping facilities.
With plenty of room, then, the
colony plan is both the most desirable
and the cheapest. 1t is the method
practised exclusively in the two most
famous poultry districts of the coun-
try. the Little Compton district of
Rhode Island and the Petaluma dis
trict in California. Though the eli
mates of these places are quite dis
similar and though in one district
the Rhode Island Red is raised, to the
exclusion of all other breeds, while in
Petaluma it is the White Leghorn, yet
