The further the Grand Jury goes into
the investigation Of the election frauds in
Baltimore the more corrupt is the demo-
cratic city machine gang shown to be.
Over 1870 Judges and clerks have been in
dicted for making false returns of the
primary vote, and evidence is piling up
that well organized system of repeating
was carried on through out the city. at the
instance of the crooks who have con-
trolled the politics of the city for years
past aud put candidates in Office as they
pleased, without regard to the vote as cast.
This ring has finally ridden to what ap-
pears to be rather long delayed fall,
and II is devoutly TO be hoped that the
bosses who have engineered these frauds
and are well known, will be given berths
in the penitentiary, and not escape the
penalty of their crime by the thousand
and one questionable legal technicalities
that will be resorted to in their defense.

Postmaster General Hitchcock in hi

Postmaster General Hitchcock in his
annual estimate of post Office expendi
lures has made provision for the establish
ment of parcels post on rural routes,
but to get Congress to pass it will be the
rub, as the four principal reasons that
Wanamaker, gave for the failure of Con-
gress to sanction the system are still
camping on its trail, with paidrepresenta

reasons are the Adams, the United States,
the Wells-Fargo, and Southern express
companies, and every one will recognize
that they are powerful ones.
These express companies by system

fooled the country merchant into the
belief that the parcels post would iniure

the reverse would be the case, and that
the adoption Of the system would mean
more business for him.

delivery thousands of purchases will be

ment.


The headquarters committee of the
Anti-Saloon League has issued the
following statement:
"The decent citizenship of Maryland
faces crisis. In the light of the as
founding disclosure of election frauds the
Anti-Saloon League recognizes that all
special reforms are dependent upon and
subordinate to the sancitity of the ballot.
The league has received assurance against
a veto or executive interference therefore
the local option question has been taken
out of the Gubernatorial contest.
I'm view of this gratifying recognition
of the strength of local option sentiment
and the vindication of ,Anti-Saloon
League methods, the leagde, as such,
will NOT indorse or support either can
didate. but leaves every voter in its con.
stituency free to settle the Gubernatorial
question in accordance with his own
judgment as to the obligations imposed
upon him as Christian citizen to secure
clean government and promote political
righteousness,
This situation permits the league to
avoid the charge of partisanship and con-
centrates the fight on the Legislature and
the corrupt gang which has not only de-
prived the people of the right to vote on
the liquor question, but has stolen ballots
actually cast on other questions. But il
should be kept clearly in mind that if Mr..
Mahon and the liquor interests again con-
troll the Legislature the Governor will be
given an opportunity to sign the local
option BILL"

While other lines are talked Of more or
less vaguely, great steamship line al.
ready operating between the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts, via the Tehuantepec Rail
way has announced that it will enlarge
its facilities, put ON new. aud modern
ships, and enter the passenger carrying
field.
This company is the American Hawai-
ian Steamship Company, which is now
operating eighteen ships with carrying
capacity of 1900, 600 tons of freight a
year This means that the company
could now carry the entire annual crop of
$4,000 carloads of oranges and lemons
raised in California. But with the new
10000 ton ships, making eleven knots an
hour, the company will be able to give
a three days service and it will enter the
field of fruit dispatch with refrigerator
equipment adequate for the purpose.
People WHO want to see the greatest en-
gineering feat of modern times can take
the ships of this line and go through the

and covered with about inches OF
straw litter.
For brooding and rearing, the col
ony house is used Portable ones
made with heavy stills and placed like
skids so that they can be hauled from
place to place. The young stock is
reared in these colony houses so that
they have access to plenty of green
food and range.
The method of feeding is to give
dry feed from the beginning. We
start the chicks in on the cracked
grains; that is, cracked wheat, fine
cracked corn, steel cut or pin head
oats and cracked kaffir corn. We are
careful to see that they get plenty of
charcoal and grit. The chicks are
given the whole or large grain as soon
as they are old enough. Beef scrap
is given two or three times Z week
as soon as they have range.
The laying hens are given = grain
and mash ration. The grain ration
is made up of two parts wheat, two
parts cracked corn and one part oats
The mash consists of seven parts corn
meal, five parts wheat middlings
four parts wheat bran, two parts cut
alfalfa, one part old processed oilmea
and three parts beef scrap. The grain
is fed in the litter In the morning
and at night. The mash is fed in 2
self feeding hopper. The hopper is
opened at noon and allowed to remain
open until night. The rule to follow
if one could be made. would be to
feed just enough of the grain ration
so that they will eat an equal amount
by weight, of the mash.
The department has done consider
able work along the line of selection
for egg production, but at this time
no data can be presented owing tc
the method of selection. The method
used is twofold, type and the produc
ton of the daughters. The high pro
ducing individuals that have the deel
angular body are selected and then
instead of using these they must have
daughters, that are also high produc
ers. Necessarily it takes a longer
period of time. Thus far the expert
ment has shown, first, that production
can be increased by selection; second
that there is an egg type of fowl just
as there is dairy type of cattle en-
tirely distinct from the beef. The
Leghorn represents the. egg type
while the Plymouth Rocks are the
meat type. What the department is
seeking to do is to get a strain OF

poses will produce a large meaty
