Poultry Notes.
The season of the little chicks is
here, Don't forget the Importance Of
cleanliness, pure water. pure air.
good food and plenty of it, in variety.
A Minnesota farmer has figured
that he makes more out of ten hens
than out of one COW, with less capt.
tai invested and with less labor in
volved. This does not prove that there
is more money in hens than in cows
but it does prove doubtless there is
more money in hens for this particu-
lar farmer. And there should be no
farm on which hens are not source
of profit
A comparative new efature OF the
pure bred poultry business is the SELL
ing of newly Matched chicks. Many
claim that this is more satisfactory
than selling eggs for Matching. The
chicks are shipped by express when
twenty-four hours old AS chicks can
go without food very nicely for sew
enty-two hours after Matching, they
can be shipped long distances. 1t is
not difficult TO ship them so they will
be comfortable.
There Is nothing like good quality
to cause increased demand and good
prices for poultry products. The con-
Stunning public is getting to be very
particular about the quality of fowls
ana eggs offered in the markets. Ev.
cry poultry raiser who markets poul-
try and eggs Of inferior quality is
not only injuring his own business
but is striking a blow at the poultry
industry.
Scald out all drinking vessels and
feed troughs every few days to keep
them from developing disease germs
For the good of the flock remove
any fowl that shows any sign of be-
ing sick. even If the ailment is slight
DO not be deceived into believing
that practical qualities and fancy
points cannot be bred in the same
bird.
Skim milk makes one of the best
feeds for poultry either winter or
summer The birds are very fond of
it.
DO not put eggs in the incubator if
you think they have been chilled. If
they have been. they never will
hatch.
1t is said that charcoal fed to chick
ems while being aftened will tend to
whiten the flesh Buckwheat will do
the same.
DO not use eggs for Matching pur-
poss which are laid by hens kept in
close confinement as such eggs are
likely to produce weak chickens
Have all eggs in the incubator as
near the same size. age and breed as
possible; if good. uniform results are
expected.
The best thing to do with a hen
when she gets excessively fat is to
send her to market. She will be
worth more than if you kept her for
laying purposes.

Feeding Wet Mash.
mon NationaI Farmerl

The most common method of feed
ing throughout the poultry world to-
day is to give wet mash Of some
sort to the fowles once a day; whole
grain being fed in the morning and
evening. Some people prefer to feed
the mash warm, and some cold, and
some feed il in the morning. some in
the middle Of the day and others give

is to feed it at noon for the rea-
son that we want 60 make the hens
scratch in the early morning for
the whole grain in the litter to keep
themselves warm and when in the
middle of the day 1t is warmer and
the hens naturally want a rest, we
give them the mash. The chief objec-
ton to the evening mash is that
full crop of 1t will not last them dur
ing the long winter nights. so well as
whole grain, as it is so often COM
posed of such bulky nature Care
should be exercised in not over-feed-
ing on the wet mash The hens should
not have more than they viii eat up
clean in 10 minutes
A good mash for the farmer is as
follows:
Equal parts of finely ground corn,
oats, bmn or shorts mixed with(

All persons under twenty-one years

To afford the faithful opportunities
of gaining the graces of the Lenten
season, it is hereby ordered that, in
addition to the unsual Sunday devo-

evenings of each week in all the
churches of the Diocese to which are
attached resident pastors. On one of
the evenings an instruction is to be
given, on the other, the Stations of
the Cross; and permission is hereby
given for Benediction OF the Blessed
Sacrament on both evenings.
The faithful are reminded that be-
sides the obligation of fasting i'm
posed by the church, the season of
Lent should be in very special man
ner a time of earnest prayer, OF sor-
row for sin, of abstention from amuse-
ments, which, not sinful in them
selves, are permitted during other
portions of the year, and of generous
almsgiving to the poor.

Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, a
collection will be taken up on the first
Sunday of Lent at all the masses, and

for which they were taken into Gus

posse rushed in, finding that the re-

squaw, with an infant in her arms, sat
huddled up on the ground, but the re-

THE RETIREMENT OF DIAz.

The retirement of Porfirio Diaz as
president of the Mexican republic now
seems assured. The man who made
Mexico is willing to give up the reins
of power in the interests of peace. This
is a fitting climax to the life of the
venerable president.
The development of Mexico has large
ly been due to the wisdom of Diaz. He
has brought order out of chaos, he has
established stable government and has
done what he could to lay the founda-
lions for a system of universal educa-
ton. That is enough for one man to
accomplish and it places the name of
Diaz among those of the worlds
greatest rulers.
No one will deny that the Diaz gov
eminent has been a success so far as
the material interests of Mexico are
concerned. The objections which Gull
minated in the Madero revolution were
concerning the details of the admins
tration of the government. 1t was
claimed that the government of Mexico
has been in fact a dictatorship and not
republic. This may be true but it
is impossible to apply the same rule TO
Mexico as would apply in the United
States where over eighty per cent Or
more of the people are educated, for
the situation there is exactly reversed.
Eighty per cent of the people of Mexico
are illiterate. The people therefore
have not been qualified to conduct a
popular government in it's broader
sense and it required a firm hand and
broad, strong mind to bring about
conditions that would make life and
property safe. Diaz has done this and
it is hoped that his successor whoever
he may be will not forget the lessons
of the Diaz regime.

THAT POLITICAL MACHINE.

The declaration made by Commits
sioner Stotts that the purpose of the
new city government is to break up the
old political machine in the city would
be a laudabIe one if such a machine
really exists. Evidently the oo-workers
of the new commissioner did not sus-
pect the presence of such a machine q
year ago. Perhaps it was not in first
class condition at that time for not
withstLnding it had the power to do as
it pleased Mayor Billiard was permitted
to form a police force to his own liking.
Commissioner Miller was permitted to
do the same in his department. Accord
ingly if there was a political machine
1t must have been limited to Mr.,
Tandys department
If Mr.. Tandy's chief assistant, Mr..
Snyder, devoted his attention to politics
to the extent that Commissioner Stotts
claims he should have been displaced.
But it does not cure the evil If another
man is chosen over Mr.. Tandy's head
who will run the department on the
same plan.
The commissioners should act har-
moniously for the good of the city.
That is the purpose of the law under
which the commission plan was
adopted. The day of governing cities
along political lines is past. The peo-
pie will not tolerate any set of city Of
ficers who are actuated by political
motives and the present commission
ought to understand this.
Commissioner Stotts is to be COM
mended for devoting so much of his
time to his duties. Such devotion to
the cares of his department, if properly
directed, will bring results and that is
what the people expect.

SUNDAY LAWS IN KANSAS.

The enforcement of the Sunday laws
in Kansas is becoming the problem of
the day. Notwithstanding the fact that
the attorney general warned the To-
peka city commissioners that the state
law expressly forbids the conduct of
theatrical performances on the Sab
bath they passed the ordinance legaliz-
ing Sunday theaters, so far as this city
is concerned.
The question of Sunday amusements
is one upon which there is a wide diff
ference of opinion. There are many
good citizens who believe that theaters
should be opened on Sunday because
they afford a certain class an oppor
tunity to attend performances. who are
unable to attend on weeks days. Others
take the position that actors are en-
titled to a day of rest as well as people
in other professions. On this theory
the theaters in New York city are
closed on Sunday. There is another
and a very large class who object ID
Sunday theaters on the grounds of
dissertation of the Sabbath. This ques-
ton of Sabbath dissertation is a serious
one for it is difficult to agree on where
the line should be drawn. Should drug
stores and cigar stands be closed.
Should street cars be stopped and
should there be a general cessation of
activities of all kinds except church
going? This is a point upon which
even preachers disagree. One of the
prominent preachers in Topeka believes
