LIVELY FIGHT
BREWING NOW
BETWEEN POSTMASTER EENER
Al HITCHCOCK AND CON.
oREss OVER FRANKING.
(By V. Merkle.)

Washington, Dec. -. Dig fight
Is brewing between Postmaster Gen
cral FRANK H. Hitchcock and con-
gress, as result OF the postma6ter
generals statement 10 the effect
that deiicit OF nearly s2,000, 900
In his department was due to the
.ndiscriminate use, and a hintea
abuse Of the congressional frank
Ing privilege.
Congressman are aroused over the
widely published interyied credited
10 the postmaster general. They
are making no secret OF a discuss
ion Of plans to bring the postmaster
general TO account Tor his state
ments. The postmaster general is
saying nothing, but it is said he is
standing behind some heavy guns
primed and waiting for the skirmish.
There promises 10 be lively
fight. The postmaster generals al
legged statements nave been con
strued as a blow, not only to mem
bers Of congress who did exten-
siye franking, but to the etole
scheme Of politics.
1t is understood Mr.. Hitchcock
has prepared a recommendation to
congress for the abolition OF the
congressional frank, and the use of
free requisition stamps instead. Mr..
Hitchcock is armed with figures and
number Of alleged instances OF
abuse of the franking privilege. sta.
tistics on franked mail have been
compiled for the pre-elepction period
in this campaign and the last cam
paign.
The unrestricted manner in
which the frankihg privilege is now
being used by the several federal
services and by congress has laid
it open to serious abuses, a fact
clearly established through invasti-
cations recently instituted by the
department. said Mr.. Hitchcock.
While it has been impossible with
out a better control OF franking to
determine the exact expense TO the
government OF this practice, there
can be no doubt that it annually
raachar into miIllons"
Records OF the department for the
last fiscal year show that the de-
partment would have ad surplus,
instead of a deficit, had the frank
ing privilege been restricted, or
had the amount Of franked n)lterial
not been many times greater than
in past years. 1t is declared that
many speeches and one whole cam
paign textbook were inserted in
the Congressional Record simply to
make them mailable under frank.
According to figures of the post Of
flee department the service handled
during the last fiscal year over
three hundred and ten millions piec-
es OF franked and free mail, weigh
ing more than siXty-one million
pounds. It is estimated that the
ordinary rate OF postage on this
would have nteted s20,00000O.

MRS G. w. S.
ANSWER.
You evidently have roup among
your chickens and il is a hard PROPOSE
ton to deal with You can only rid
your premises ~ II by the use Of
plenty OF disinfectant and plenty of
whitewash with crude carbolic acid
In 1t. Also allow your chickens to
sleep In house with plenty of fresh
air, but no direct draft to blow on
them. A good, supply of whole grain
or scratch feed is what chickens need
to build up their systems when they
are in a weakened stage and 1t should
be fed, just what they will eat up
clean and always in a trough Do
not physic them too much. Bankers
condition powders fed twice week
In their soft feed will help materially
in Kidding your fowls of this trouble
II you win continue giving the per-
fnanganate OF potash in their drinking
water II win also help to relieve them.
The hen probably died from natural
cause. When their systems are out of
condition you can expect to loose
some of them.
Keep the sick chickens from the
well ones and try TO keep the well
ones from getting sick by good care

Sickness Among FowIs---Cause
and Treatment


LIMITED amount of sickness
a among fowls of all kinds can
IA usually be expected, the same
as is always the case with people.
Any one who keeps a large flock
of fowls can ordinarily expect to
lose few all along during the
year from general causes that are
sure to arise and to be expected.
A chickens life Is about one-tenth
the length of human life. There
fore, the loss would be ten times
greater than the same number of
people. AS there are so many more
things to cause sickness and upset
a chickens system, you can easily
expect it to be even greater than
this. There are hundreds of peo-
pie that when they have one or two
sick chickens they will get uneasy
about them and want to know the
cause and cure. In most cases a
chicken is hardly worth the bother
to treat it. Besides, If it has had
a bad attack and is treated, in nine
cases out of ten they are absolutely
worthless after you have cured
them, and the best and surest treat
ment for the average sick chicken
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-05-31

with a small amount of charcoal
added where they can get it at all
times. During hot weather too
much grain food should not be fed
to chickens 1t is most likely that
something was given your chickens,
possibly in the table scraps, that
was too rich for them, or did not
agree with them, and caused their
systems to be come poisoned.
Mulberries are not good for either
old or young chickens, where they
are produced in abundance. They
seem to act freely on the system,
in fact, too freely, and If chickens
are very hungry and eat too many
of these they are likely to upset
their systems, and / do not think it
a good idea to allow chickens to
have free access to these. The best
thing you can do for your flock of
chickens is to yard them and feed
a liberal amount of feed until their
systems are in good shape.

Dawson, Cal want to ask you
what Is good for hens that lay infer
tile eggs? I want you to tell me
what to give them to make them lay
fertile eggs Some Of my eggs are
fertile, and some not. The eggs that
! have set have not Matched well,
and l have set two settings that
got about two chickens out Of. II
YOU don't mind. write and tell me
what to do.
Thanking you for your information.
/ am J. b. PETTY.
ANSWER
There are various causes for infer
tile eggs. 1t is caused mostly from
the lack of vigor In the male bird,
and often from the hens being too
fat and inactive. This season there
has been a great many hens that
were too fat and inactive. which has
caused hundreds of eggs not to
hatch, simply for the want OF suf-
ficient exercise and green food. or
we'll cured clover or alfalfa hay fed
10 them during the winter. When
chickens have been made to take ex-
ercise and have had this variety of
food, the eggs hatch Just as well as
from such birds this season as they
ever did. Make your chickens take
more exercise, and do not feed them
so much rich food.
