Why Hens Don't Lay IR Winter.
(From Farm and Fireside.)

I have found it very difficult to
make people understand that a hen
cannot make eggs and feathers at the
same time She can lay while she j.
shedding her feathers, because there
il then no drain Or her system for
any other purpose. But when the
new coat Of feathers is started she
quits, simply because she cannot do
double duty-make feathers and eggs
at the same time When people learn
this fact they will not expect eggs
from a hen that II growing a coat Of
feathers. And then they may also
learn how to manage their Matching
and feeding SO as to get eggs in the
late fall and winter, when they want
them badly.

When dry feed is kept constantly
before hens there is danger that they
will gorge themselves and become in
active. There is nothing that looks
worse than string OF hens on the
roosts in daytime The way to pre-
vent this is to keep deep litter on
the floor of the house and make the
fowls scratch for every kernel OF
grain they get. This will stimulate
circulation and digestion. Leave the
curtains up Or even the coolest days.

The weak place in the poultry bust
ness Isl the selling end. Unless one
has a market at his door he must sell
to the grocers or ship to the commits
sion merchants and take just what
the commission merchants will allow
him. Here is where the side line
poultry keeper has an overwhelming
advantage. He cuts loose from the
grocers and the commission merchant
and takes every profit. tn October
eggs were selling at 80 cents a dozen
in the local market, and at As cents a
dozen in the city, 80 miles away. The
side liner with his neighbors for Gus
toners gets at least one cent more
on each egg the year around than the
fellow back on the farm; and if the
latter can make a profit on his hens,
haw much bigger profit can the city
man make?

Governor Wilson is for Bryan on the

question since he began to seek the nomi-

ing his support among the various candi-

ing on the right side.
But whatever profit comes from the
victory, if there is one, Bryan himself
will take care Of it. There is no sign
that the Nebraska colonel will depart in
the least from his scrupulously correct
attitude of showing no favor to one PRO

encourages Wilson and Clark to run their

CUTTING coal RATES.

In the case of the Marian Coal Com

wanna Railroad the Interstate Commerce
Commission has cut the freight rate
upon the prepared, or domestic, sizes Of
anthracite by exactly the amount Of the
recent advance in the price Of coal TO the
public. % cents a ton. From this one
place where the compliments plant u
located. at least the freight rate upon
the larger sizes Of anthracite will be
81 SO a ton instead Of 81 81. If such a
cut were made generally as a result Of
the inquiry which the Interstate Com
merce Commission is TO make into the
general subject of rates upon coal and
the various practices in connection with
its transportation every excuse for the
recent 25-Cent advance In price would be
removed With freight rates % cents

coal would show $15,OO0.OOO more q year

SINGLE PRESIDENTIAL TERN

A SINGLE PRESIDENTIAL TERN.
All the disagreeable experiences
through which the country has gone in
the course of the campaign for the Re-
publican nomination could have been
avoided if Congress had had the fore
thought to submit and the people to APP
prove an amendment to the Constitution
limiting the service of a President TO
one term and making him ineligible for
reelection. Had neither Mr.. Taft nor
Colonel Roosevelt been available for the
nomination there would have been no
split in the Republican party, and the
President and an eX-President would not
have been dragged into an acrimonious
personal debate conducted from Pullman
car back platforms.
The existing method Of choosing party
nominees for President and NiCe-Presi-
dent puts a premium on the use Of
patronage I'm order to control national
conventions. Both parties face the same
difficulty, Republican President being
able to exercise a powerful influence on
the choice of delegates I'm states where
the Republican party Is weak and
Democratic President I'm states where
the Democratic organization is more or
less of a skeleton. In either case an
Executive serving first term subjects
himself, rightly or wrongly to the
charge Of having neutralized through the
aid of dependent oflicehoders the will of
the states in which his own party is
strongest and which must furnish the
votes with which to win in the Electoral
College.
Many considerations Of public expedi-
ency suggest the ACCESSIBILITY Of changing
n system which has long threatened both
parties and which has now helped to en-
courage bolt at Chicago. The Judiciary
Committee Of the Senate has favorahly
reported a resolution submitting single
Presidential term amendment to the
state legislatures, A similar amendment
has been introduced in the House, and 1t
is highly desirable that Congress should
take steps at this session to let the legiS-
latures vote on q proposition which, II
adopted. would remove a demoralizing
incentive to disruption and help to re-
store peace and good temper in national
politics.
The Senate amendment lengthens the
Presidents term from four years to six
years. In six years a President would
have a much better chance to develop his
policies. free from the entanglements OF
an ambition to succeed himself. He
would not be under pressure to lower his
ideals in order TO fit the eXigencies of
an approaching second campaign and
would be absolved from all suspicion Of
using the federal patronage in his own
interest. The country is weary Of the
sort Of politics which has been dinned in
its ears for the last four months. It
would welcome, we think. a change to a
system under which President would
be exempted from the necessity Of prov
ing that his first term was satisfactory
by seeking and obtaining second one.
