POULTRY NOTES.

Early layers will as a rule produce
early layers.
The egg cases should also be kept
clean and sweet
Good layers bequeath their powers
to their offspring.
Trap nests must be used In order to
become accurate In the work.
Damp floors are always sure to
give poultry roup or some other dis
ease.
Keep the goslings confined In wet
weather and cut green grassy sods and
put In the pen.
1t is not so much a matter Of breed
as 1t Is the way the hens are handled
that makes them prolific layers.
To have strictly flrstclass egg pro-
ducers, It Is necessary that they be
bred exclusively for that purpose.
1t Is not the number Of eggs we
get, but rather the amount Of money
that we receive for them that counts.
There Is little use trying TO keep
turkey chicks on limited range. They
love to walk, and also to roost In the
open.
A fancier breeding for shows In Jan.
uary takes pains that his pullets do
not lay before the exhibitions take
place.
To build up o strain Of great layers
calls for as much scientific knowl.
edge and care as 1t does to produce
superior show birds.
The up.to-date farmer keeps only
one breed Of hens so that the eggs
will be uniform In size and color, which
adds to their appearance and price on
many markets.
Among thoroughbred poultry there
is little difference 80 far as their eco.
nomical points are concerned. but on
farm. a solid. strong and coarse
breed ID best.
Ducks. above all other stock, should
not be inbred, as impotency Is sure to
follow such practice and far more
so with ducks than with an other
class Of poultry.

Market Poultry Hints.

Here are few hints to those who
are In the business Of raising market
poultry: Market the roosters sep.
arately. Aim to attract the eye Of the
buyer. Have regular market days.
Try to build up reputation for prime
stock. Grow bone and muscle first
and then fatten. Big.combed broIlers
are apt to be wrongly classified in
market. Always notify your commits.
sion merchant before shipping. Young
fowls shipped with old stock will com.
mand old stock prices. Poultry should
be killed the day before marketing
when going direct to the consumer.
Do not mix white.skinned chickens in
the same shipment with yellow.skinned
ones. Have q tag fastened on each
fowl you send to market. It Is the
best way to advertise your stock.

WINDS TAKE AWAY MOISTURE
Ono Reason Why Crops Do so Well
After Corn-Forest Condition
Affords Ample Protection.

Winds evaporate moisture faster
than the sun. We believe this is one
Of the reasons why corn land shows
such surprising amount Of moisture
when compared with summer.fallow,
says the Homestead. Many cannot
understand why crops do so well after
corn; and some pretty bright authori-
ties question the statement that we'll
titled corn land will show as much,
sometimes more, moisture than we'll
handled summer.fallow; reasoning that
as corn itself takes go much moisture.
1t is simply impossible.
The early cultivation Of the corn.
before the ground Is shaded by it,
tends to hold the moisture, and as
soon as the ground is shaded by the
corn and protected forest condition
established, neither the wind or sun
can get at 1t to any extent; and II the
surface tillage Is continued, all moist
ure falling Is retained, and that al
ready In the soil cannot escape. We
know that trees take even more moist
ure than corn, and still when the road
way through forest. or the mead
ows. pastures or plains adjoining one
are baked with drought many inches
below the surface, II the leaves are
scratched back from the shaded wind
protected soil in the forest, It will al
ways be found moist. We believe it
is this forest condition as well as. II
not more than, the dust mulch that
makes well-cared.for corn land SO
moist the following season. II only
the winds would stop blowing across
our treeless plains, our moisture
would not leave them so fast.

BREEDING Mares,

While It is an old.time custom to
breed mares nine days after foaling.
It has been noticed that but few mares
ever get In foal when bred at that
time. Better wait until about 1S or
81 days. Some mares will not get In

Of them. Mares come In heat normal.

Imperial and Rebel Dele
gates at Shanghai.
WI MAKES -FOUR PROPOSALS.
Revolutionary Diplomat Force. Impe-
rial Representative to Observe Arm
istice and Wires Own Leaders to
Cease Military Operations.
Rebels Win First Round.

Shanghai, Dec. 19.-The conference
between the representatives of the
imperial government and the revolu-
tionary commissioners opened here
when Tang Shao vi and five others
named by the premier, Yuan Shih Kai,
met DR.. WI Ting Fang and the FIVE
other delegates from the revolution
aries.
The principal business of the first
meeting related to alleged breaches of
the armistice which was recently de-
clared. DR.. WI complained that the
truce had been frequently broken by
the Manchu soldiers. and he insisted
that Tang telegraph the premier to
have this stopped. There was pro-
longed discussion of the matter. but
in the end Tang gave his consent to
do as DR.. WI demanded.
The discussion was in the most
friendly tone. When this point was
settled WI refused to go on with the
conference until the answer Of Yuan
Shih Kai had been received. In the
w WllSu LII uun IlullS
and other revolutionary leaders to alb
stain from hostilities.
1t is generally considered here that
by this conference the revolutionaries
have won the first round. This seems
reasonable in view of the fact that
Tang held out for two hours before
he would yield to the demands of WI
Ting Fang.
WI, on behalf Of his associates, pre-
sented four proposals, which, of course,
were not acted upon. They were for
the abolition of the Manchu dynasty
the establishment of republican form
of government, the pensioning Of the
imperial family and generous treat
ment for all Manchus.
Armed police and detectives guard
the conference hall and accompany the
commissioners in all their goings and
comings. Chinese posters have been
affixed to the walls about the British
settlement urging the assassination of
Tang Shao vi.

RUSSIA MODIFIES TERMS.
Cars Minister Convinced of Persia's
Good Will.

Sood VIII.
Paris, Dec. 19.-The Temps says that
as a result of the conference here be-
tween NJ. Sazonoff, the Russian minis
ter of foreign affairs, and the Persian
minister to France, Russia has modi-
fed the terms of her recent ultimatum
to the shah's government
The reason for this is that the cars
ministers see proof of Persia's good
will in her decision to dismiss Shuster
from his post as comptroller of Persian
finances. The Temps adds that now
that this chief obstacle to good rela-
tions between Russia and Persia has
been removed the czar is disposed to
seek some arrangement whereby the
Anglo Russian agreement may be rec
onciled with Persia's dignity. So far
as the selection of foreigners for i'm
portant posts is concerned, Persia is
disposed to choose them from among
the citizens of secondary powers.

NO PASSPORT CONCESSIONS.

st. PeteIsburgi Dec. 19.-It is appar.

ter what proposals may be made by

sibility of the Democratic party tax.
ing any serious action in the matter.
The leaders of the douma assert that
no member of the cabinet would dare
to touch the question.
Ambassador Guild, acting under in.
structions from Washington, saw NJ.
SasonOff, the Russian minister of for.
eign affairs, and the latter expressed
the willingness of his government to
have issued instructions to Russian
consuls to pass freely all Jews who
are entitled to admittance to the EN-.
pire under the present regulations.
This, he explained, was in view of the
fact that especially within the last ten
years, when business attracted many
foreigners to Russia, there had been
numerous complaints that large
number nf persons who were in reality
acceptable were denied admittance TO
the country by individual consuls. NJ.
Sasonoif said that he could go no fur
ther, as the judicial status of Jews,
whether native or foreign, could not
now be raised.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 19.-The Taft

declaring that the president cannot
carry Indiana, have begun upon cam
paigns of organization for the selection
of members of the new state commit
tee in January, and every county in
the state is being visited by represent
atives of the two factions.
The Taft people claim that Lees OBJ
ject is really to organize the state for
Roosevelt and that he is nothing more
than a figurehead for former Senator
Beveridge, who attributes his defeat
last year to the stand the president
took in his Winona speech on the
Payne Aldrich bill.
