step is to select the male bird, and
as the male is half the pen, too much
care in his selection cannot be used.
The male should match the females as
near as possible in shape and color,
except that he should be strong in
points, where the females are weak:
for instance. If the hens selected car
rvs their tails a trif1e too high the
male should carry his tail a little
lower than the correct angle or if the
hens are a little shorter in length IF
body than they should be then the
male should be a long bodied bird.
When the first pen is finally Sc
Iected, the second pen should be made
up in the same way. When one has
many birds to select from it requires
much patience and study, but it is
time well spent, for the only way to
make any noticeable Improvement IS
by carefully selecting the birds that
are to produce our young stock next
season.

POULTRY

January is now upon us and we
should be looking forward, and pre-
pairing, to get off some early chicks,
for we all know that The Early Bird
Catches the Worm. This old saying
applies in many ways.
January, February and March, in
this climate, are the best Matching
months in the year, as chicks are
much easier raised then than they
will be later on when the hot summer
comes on, as we will have much less
trouble fighting lice and mites during
the cooler months than when the
weather is warm. If the chicks are
Matched in incubators they will have
to be we'll brooded during the cold
weather, though 1 have always found
1t less trouble to keep them COM
Portable during the cold weather than
to keep them free from vermin when
Matched in warm weather, and there
is nothing that will sap the vitality out
of baby chicks as quickly as will
vermin. Not only are the chicks
easier raised now than later, but
chicks Matched early will, if given
reasonable attention, be well matured
by the time the fall fairs come on and
If the quality is the same otherwise
will easily win over their later Matched
competitors that are not fully de-
veloped, while the early Matched pull
lets will begin laying in the early
fall and keep steadily at it all winter
If comfortable quarters and proper
feed is given them, and they will lay
the greater number of their eggs at
the time when prices for eggs are
high, while their later Matched sisters
will not begin laying until spring when
eggs are cheap and by the time the
year is up will be far behind the early
pullets in value of eggs laid.
Mate Breeding Pens.
In order TO get out a nice lot of
early chicks We should at once get
out breed ding pens mated and we
should all strive to mate our pens
with a view to improving our stock.
And right here it might be well 20
say that it is not at all necessary to
buy new male birds in order to make
improvement, for no matter if new
male birds are bought no great i'm
provement can be made unless good
judgment is used in the selection of
his mates.
For the benefit of the beginner /
will give a few general rules for mat
ing the breeding pens for best results.
First go over the females and sort
them out into as many lots as there
are different types. Now carefully
consider the different lots of females
and select the lot nearest to the cor
rect type as regards shape and color
and compare the different birds in this
lot and make a selection of those that
are nearest what they should be set
ting them aside to be used in the best
breeding pen. Now it may be found
that only three or four females can be
selected that are uniform in shape and
color, but better results will be OBJ
tanned with only three or four females
that are very near identical than to
use six or eight or more that are Of
different types.
Selecting Male Birds.
After the females that are to go
into the best pen are selected the next

STEPHENSON'S SENATE SEAT.
Resolution soon o Be Presented In senate
Providing for Inv estigation.

WASHINGTON. July "A resolution
will he introduced in the Senate before
the close Of the session. probably before
the end of the week. providing for an
investigation by committee of the
Senate OF charges of alleged corruption
in the election Of Senator Isaac Stephen
son Of Wisconsin. The resolution may
be introduced by Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin.
Some time ago a memorial was re-
ceived by the Senate from the Wisconsin
Legislature in the form of a resolution
passed by both houses which demanded
an investigation by the United States
Senate of the charges. This memorial
was referred to the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections, since which time a
sub b-committee has been appointed TO
consider the memorial This sub-com-
mittee has not yet had a meeting. IL has
been the opinion in the Senate ever since
the receipt 10y that body Of the memorial
from the Wisconsin Legislature that there
would be an investi CATION of the charges.
Even Senator'S who are friendly TO Mr..
Stephenson admitted that an investlga-
ton could not be avoided in the light OF
the memorial from Senator Stephenson =
own State.
If Senator La Toilette does not intro
duce the resolution calling for the lnvesti
CATION il will probably I've submitted either
by Senator Kenyon or Senator Kern.
Senator Stephenson has not yet Indicated
