are for sale in hardware stores, but

an old oil can with a handle, drill
hole in the center and place a short
piece of one-fourthinch iron pipe in
the hole as shown. IL should extend
TO within half an inch of the bottom
of the can and project above the top
about three or four inches. Place a
cap on the top and drill several very
small holes in same. There should be
about five holes, with one in the top
of the can. Make the holes one-thirty-

POULTPYNOTES
CNNS08, = e5an,,,

Mongrel fowls should not be kept
for egg production because the eggs
will be uniform neither in color nor
size.
Where there is no other chance for
early green picking a patch of oats
sown now will answer the purpose
well.
II is better to go slow and heat up
the eggs in an incubator in "a hours
than to get in hurry and do 1t in two
hours.
February hatched chickens are apt
to mott in the fall, and will not be
worth anything for egg production in
winter.
Any sharp stones will answer for
grit, II they are smaller than a grain
of corn, and larger than a grain of
wheat.
A good, well-balanced, laying ration:
Two parts bran, one part corn meal,
one part alfalfa meal, and one part
beef scrap
Ducks that are hatched in an incu-
bator can be cared for the same as
those hatched by hens or ducks In the
natural way.
Goose eggs will hatch in an incubat-
or but not so well as fowls eggs un-
less the incubator is especially built
for that purpose.
The Leghorns, Minorcas or any or
the breeds OF the Mediterranean class
are non-sitters and are bred for the
purpose of laying
One fatal mistake made at the end
of the hatch is to keep the door OF the
incubator open too long after the eggs
have begun to pip.
The poultry business requires study
and constant attention, the same as
any other business. First efforts are
rarely ever successful.

Repeated History

MT. Roosevelt is going to reduce the cost of living by putting up wages and prices, and he will check eXtrava- gance by government appropriations for roads and letting the Mississippi river run through the United States treasury The farmer will get more for his stuff; and yet the consumer will pay less. Everything will go up and consequently down. Theodore in Wonderland"
 There is another parallel trite, per haps, but none the less appropriate, than this which the New York Sun suggests. One of the most interest ing progressives in history, as trans cribed in the pages of Shakespeare, is the heroic Jack Cade. It was he who promised that seven halfpenny Ioaves should be sold for a penny and the three hoped pot should have ten hoops; and he showed also a true appreciation of the importance of SO ciai justice" and the contempt which all good men should feel for the law by saying, My mouth shall be the parliament of England"
Arizona republican., 1912-08-13
"The Man of Straw"

It is the fashion among those who are opposed to President Taft to aI- lude to him as the man of straw" as one lacking force. Yet, those who have intelligently observed the events of the last four years, must agree that a more forceful president has never occupied the White House. There is no other in the long list of presidents who has wrung from reluctant con- gresses so much legislation. The president has made political mistakes. none of them in themselves, serious ones. but they have been magnified by his enemies in and out of his party until some have seemed to be serious
 The president has frequently entered upon a course which he knew would be harmful to his political ambitions; when he knew that he would be mis- understood by a large proportion of the people and would be misrepresent- ed by designing enemies. But the course seemed to him to be along the line of his duty and he unswervingly followed it.
 In no instance has he acted the part of a time-serve or demagogue. If he has not at all times been world ly wise he has at no time shown a lack of honesty, strength and courage. The title, man of straw" would be as applicable to Cleveland, Grant or Jackson
 The president is fully aware that his vetoes of the tariff revision bills will cost him many thousands of votes But in his disapproval of these bills he is rigidly carrying out his pledge to a scientific revision of the tariff instead of a haphazard, log-roll- ing revision such as all parties have agreed or have pretended to agree, has been the curse of tariff legislation and should be abandoned.
 Yet, in spite of such an agreement every tariff bill so far presented to MT Taft has been framed by the old methods. by a system of compromises and trading and in utter disregard of the scientific information furnished by the tariff board
 A less courageous man at this time and in the present circumstances would pocket his displeasure. But President Taft is not that kind of a man of straw"

ance: MT Ashurst voted for the wool revision bill which but for the interposition of the president would have sent down, along with the rock, one of the chief industries of his own state.
 The Norfolk, Va, Pilot regards the action of Senator Ashurst as Spar tan sacrifice and says: Subsequently his attention was called to the wool raising interests of Arizona to whom he refused to extend tariff taxation through his vote His conclusive and effective reply was, We have 300,0OO users of wool and they mean more to me than the few men who are en- gagged in the wool business
 Now, as perhaps neither the Pilot nor MT Ashurst knows, the aggregate advantage to the 300000 wool users of Arizona would not amount to 300 cents a year. or any other sum, if the tariff revision bill had become a law
 Again says the Pilot: Arguing in favor of the abolition of the protec tive tariff duty on sugar the other day, Senator Ashurst was reminded that there are sugar producing inter ests in his state. His reply was, But I represent 3OO,0OO sugar eaters :"
 Here, we are brought to something pretty near home. It is not necessary to enter into a discussion of the right eousness of the tariff on sugar We may admit. in order to remove the brush. that the sugar trust has ad vantages under the present law that it ought not to have but we know that the beet sugar industry needs more encouragement than it has so far received. More than a half mill lions dollars has been expended in the Glendale plant and we have been informed that every year since it's installation it has been operated at a loss.
 If what little aid and encouragement it is now receiving were withdrawn it would be forced to suspend opera tions and the farmers of this valley would be forced out of the cultivation of one of their most profitable crops.
 Our remarks on this subject are not directed especially at MT. Ashurst but at the democratic policy which ap- pears to have been formulated by men as short sighted and as uninformed as Mr Ashurst
Arizona republican., 1912-08-13
A Neglected Subject

It is difficult to get an Arizona democrat interested in the subject of the judicial recall just now. One who tries to do so finds the discourse delft " turned aside into other channels, to the subjects of crops, infantile paraly- sis, etc, or to speculations regarding the weather tomorrow.
 This thing of voting for the recall amendment and on the same ballot for a candidate for president who is pronouncedly against the recall is naturally embarrassing. But the vot- ing for these extremes is not so em- barrassing as the discussion of them. It is therefore improbable that there will be any public discussion of the recall during the campaign except such as our socialist and Bull Moose friends may inject, and they will per haps be unable to command wide at tention The latter though will very naturally make the recall their chief weapon in their onslaught upon demo- cratic ranks
