FOR ADDAMS.
Editor OF the Leitchfield Gazette
Comes Out for Adams
for Governor.
From Leitchield Gazente.l

There are two aspirants for for the
nomination for Governor. What ought
men who have the welfare of their
party at heart TO do as between there
two men? 1t seems to be conceded that
they are both good men and that either
one would make a good Governor.
Which one of these men will make the
stronger race before the people next
November? Let US be candid with
each other. II is fact recognized all
over the State that it is very doubtful
whether Mr.. McCreary can be elected.
You may inquire from almost any part
of the State and you will hear of large
numbers of Democrats who are swear
ing they will not vote for him. By no
means is this opposition confined TO
Catholics alone but is found among all
others. Then, the Republicans are ev-
identity of the opinion that McCreary is
is going to get the nomination and that
they can beat him. No other explana-
ton can be made of the fact that so
many Republicans are seeking the GU
bernatorial nomination at the hands of
that party, a nomination which has
usually gone begging in this State
They see at least fine chance to be
elected. If the head of the Democrat
ic ticket is defeated it is likely the en-
tire ticket will be, Why should we
] jeopardize the ticket next fall in the
interest of any man? Why should we
even put the ticket in the least danger?
Can anybody give good reason for

toward the Democratic party all over

JOHNSON STATUTE SITE FIXED.
Memorial to be Placed on Capto
Ground.

st. Paul, Jan. 30.-The governor
John A. Johnson memorial will be 10
Gated on the triangular grass plot wes'
of the approach to the main entrance
OF the state capitol and between Wab
asha street and the Capitol drive The
sculptor will be Andrew O'Connor OF
Paris.
Decision covering both of these
points was reached by the Johnson
Memorial commission. There were
eleven of the twenty members Of the
commission present at the meeting.
Standing above the lawn nearly
twenty feet in height, the memorial
will be both imposing and attractive
1t will be possible to see the monu
ment for a considerable distance and
it will furnish an interesting object to
people who take the intcrUrban street
car line between st. Paul and Mime
apolis.
Material to be used in the casting
of the statue was specified as bronze
The pedestal will consist of Minnesota
granite, which will be taken from the
quarrics near Ortonville. while the
group of four figures surrounding the
base Of the memorial will be carved
from an elegant and expensive kline
of stone to be imported from France.
The amount the sculptor is to re
ceiye for his services was not mad,
public but it was said the $4,000 sub
scribed by the people of Minnesota
would be sufficient to cover all of the
COSTS

CONNAuGH1 SUCCEEDS GRAY
TO BECOME GOVERNOR GENERAL
OF CANADA IN SEPTEMBER.
Appointment Will be in Line With
Wish Of the Late King
Edward.

London, Jan. 30.-It is officially an
nounced that the Duke Of Connaught
will succeed Earl Grey in September
as governor general Of Canada. He
will hold the appointment for two
years and that period may be extend
ed.
Various reports have been current
from time to time, particularly from
Canadian sources, that the Duke Of
Connaught would not be the next gov.
ernor general of Canada. although or
the original announcement of his ap
pointment, shortly after the death Of
King Edward, officially it was stated
that it had been the wish of the king
that the Duke of Connaught his broth
er, should go to Canada as governor
general.
A late dispatch from London report
ed that the duke would be appointed
regent during the absence of King
George in India for the coronation dur
bar. Such an appointment, it was be
lieved, would serve to delay the dukes
replacing Earl Grey.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an intlamcd condition Of the

around the poultry house. Clean, pure
water In sanitary dishes should al.
ways be available for the fowls.
Feed Generous Ration.
An essential factor in poultry feed
ing Is to furnish liberal, correctly
balanced, fatteniug and growing ra.
ton To merely supply the flock with
maintenance ration is not sufficient.
Besides maintaining bodily vigor and
health the hen must produce eggs and
on this account requires an amount of
feed in excess, OF tfat required for
mere maintenance. Where well bal.
anced raticn is supplied in abundance.
and where the flock have plenty of ex
ercise, the birds will not become over
fat, but will maintain good thrift ant,
will produce quantity of good quail

Believes In Concessions.

President Taft believes that the
mutual concessions arranged by the
United States and Canada, especially
the large number of articles Of food.
stuffs which would be put on the free
list, promised great humanitarian
movement that ultimately would mean
a material reduction in the cost of liv
ing.
If the attitude of the Democratic
leaders of the house proves true in
dex of the position which minority
members Of the ways and means com.
mittee will take on joint resolution
to put the trade agreement into force.
then such resolution can be brought
out of committee.
Seven Democrats on the committee
are believed to be in sympathy with
the agreement and it is certain that
four Republicans will vote to report
it. This makes clear majority of 10
members.
Democrats Favor Treaty.
Should the resolution be brought out
of the ways and means committee
within the next fortnight, vote could
be had on it in the house during the
present session. Whether it passes OF
not. it is likely majority Of the pres
ent Democratic members present will
vote for it. This would be accepted as
committing the Democratic house fol
next session to its passage.
1t Is in the senate that the barriers
now look impregnable. A Republican
member Of the finance committee
said that not one of the majority OF
that body favored the proposed ar
rangement with Canada, some being
opposed because they believed inter
ests of their states to be jeopardized
and others basing their objections up
on the ground of supposed menace ia
the principle of protection. The esti
mate by this member of the sentiment
in the committee concerning the agree
ment may not be entirely correct.

Several prominent poultrymen have
recently attained remarkable success
by using a combination of wet and dry
mashes. Their system includes a
noon feed Of light. wellscattered wet
mash and then during the afternoon
giving the birds free access to dry
masn. me main advantage of this
method is the extra labor involved. In
a well-arranged house when dry
mash is fed in hoppers one man can
feed 1000 hens in about a half hour
AS ordinarily fed wet mash for 1000
birds requires at least two hours for
mixing and distributing the feed.
r. Roughase for Hens.
Where alfalfa meal is fed the de.
mand for succulent roughage is de-
creased. Even In this case, however
the addition Of succulent clover or al
falfa hay is beneficial. Root crops
play an important role in the dietary
OF poultry. Mangels may be fed en-
tire once a day In troughs. Cabbages
are best fed by suspending them by
cords to keep them clean. An addi
tional advantage is obtained here
through the extra exercise necessary
for the fowl to secure the feed. Where
available spr0uted oats can be fed.
Carrots in small amounts are very
palatable and tempting to the flock.
Glover chaff can be fed wet or dry
and is very economical egg producer.
Begin to feed the green stuff and
mangles as early in the autumn as pos
sible.
Glover Good for Poultry.
Steaming clover hay increases its
palatability greatly. II free from long
fiber, clover is an excellent feed to mix
with bran, table scraps. or with reg.
ular mash. A convenient way of hand
ling the poultry flock is to thoroughly
bed down the house with straw in the
fall and then to add forkful of clover
or alfalfa hay every day until the lit
ter begins to get dirty. The house
should then be cleaned. the straw re-
placed by clean litter, and the daily
forkful of clover or alfalfa continued.
The importance of litter cannot be
overestimated as means of com,
polling the birds to exercise in oh
tanning their food. A generous allow
ance of corn mixed with the litter
works out excellently for winter feed

This accounts for the generous allow
