PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
DEMOCRATIC. SUCCESS.
Editor Barton county Democrat:

Editor Barton County Democrat:
d want to assure you that the pros
poets of Democratic triumph were
never brighter The morale of the
Democratic army was never better.
A united Democracy and a divided Op-
position renders success doubly GER
tain. The present situation leaves
little to be wished for. The recent
elections in Vermont and Maine
prove that the Democrats are voting
under the unit rule this year. They
prove more than that. They shove a
substantial increase in the Democrat
ic vote. If we poll the full party
strength, defeat is impossible. Moth
ing could possibly defeat us but over
confidence. Security is man. chief
est enemy-in politics. We must,
therefore, take nothing for granted
We must perfect and maintain a thor-
ongh organization. The campaign
must be vigorous, must be unremit-
ting till the battle is over, till the vic
tory is won.
No single agency can contribute
more to Democratic triumph than the
Democratic press. No agency can
do more to see that every Democrat
votes and votes the Democratic tick
ct. We are relying upon your con-
slant and invaluable assistance. DEM
Ocracy expects every Democrat to do
his duty this year.
While victory is inevitable if all
Democrats do their duty, still the
door of Democracy stands wide open
this year. Above that door is en-
blazoned the word Welcome" and
Tat welcome is rendered to all in
dependent voters. The spirit of our
campaign is reflected in the follow
ing resolution which was unanimously
adopted by the Democratic National
Committee at Chicago on July Is,
last.
.:.We congratulate the country and
the Democracy upon the exceptional
prospects of Democratic success in
November next. We rejoice that all
Democrats everywhere are united ant
enthusiastic in support Of the plat.
form and the nominee of the party.

The contented and happy hen is the
laying hen.
Round pebbles will not do for rough
edges TO grind the grain.
a writer recommends boiled rice
for diarrhea in young turks.
Initiate nature as closely as possible
and your turkey crop will pay out.
Eggs should always be protected
from the hot sun while being taken to
market
Windows should now be out of the
poultry house and wire netting tackled
in their places.
A floorless brood coop on clean,
dry ground is better than one with a
board floor in it.
The average hen outlives her use
fulness in two years, and is more prof.
table sent to market.
Whether kept for Matching or mar
ket eggs ought to be kept free from
any form of moisture.
When eggs are soft shelled the hens
are either too fat or do not get enough
mineral matter in their feed.
Don't neglect the water supply as
plenty of water helps to keep the
hens in good laying condition.
A safe rule to follow in chick feed
ing is to give them just as much as
they will clean up nicely at each feed.
The incubator Ia no longer an ex-
pertinent, and the demand for poultry
products suggests its more general
use.
The utility" bird is one that is not
without its faults, but it is often from
a good strain, hence has its own eco
nomic values
One feeding rule IS to give the hens
half as much as they will eat of a
morning, nothing at noon and a full
meal at night.

HOT WEATHER POULTRY CARE
Wire Netting for Ventilation
of Hen House.

1t does not require much hard work
to keep a flock in good condition in
the summer, but absolute neglect will
often completely destroy the winter
egg producing qualities of not only
the old hens, but the pullets as well.
If you have not removed every win
dow in the chicken house and substi-
tuted wire netting, in order to provide
perfect ventilation, do so at once.
Better that the chicks rOOst in the
trees than that they be confined in a
vermin-ridden building.
Body lice will worry a flock to
death. or SO nearly so as to destroy
it's usefulness. These can be killed,
but not easily.
Good insect powder will do the
business. 1t should be applied with a
powder spray by one person. while
another holds the fowls by the legs
so that the powder may reach every
part of the skin through the dis
turbed feathers

TURKEYS NEED LARGE RANGE
Small Pen in Town Is Absolutely Not
Suitable for Rearing Meat For
Christmas Dinner.

For those persons in town who are
thinking of raising turkey or two in
their back yards there is trouble in
store. The back yard or pen is not
the place for a bird which refuses to
be domesticated, w. A. Lippincott,
head of the poultry department at the
Kansas Agricultural college, says.
The farm is the place to raise tur-
keys. They must have a good range.
During the first few months it is bet
ter to give them no grain, but let them
forage and eat bugs. If small turkeys
are cared for in this way, the fatality
will be much less
Professor Lippincott suggests that
you let some farmer take your young
turkeys and rear them. You might ar
range to pay little rent to a farmer
for allowing your birds to roam in his
pastures. Then, along about Thanks
giving, all you have to do is to go out
and harvest your turkey.

store and said he wanted a pair of

piled the darby. The customer tried
another pair, and another pair, and
many others, declaring he could not
read with any Of them. Finally the
clerk, out of patience, asked: Well,

Keeping Birds Graded.

Be sure to grade your birds accord
ing to size as the weeks pass When
you find that some are outstripping
the others, take them away and put
them with birds of their own size. If
you have toe-marked the feet and have
put on highlands, you will be able to
tell the facts regarding them at any

Here is where the value of record s

lowered materials or of silk and rib
bons.
Combing jackets are mere apologies
for shoulder coverings. Nearly all OF
them are cut after the Egyptian nSsne
ner in two pieces, including the
elbow sleeves, but, instead Of hooking
or buttoning the shoulder openings,
the neck is made wide enough to adj
nit the head and the garment is ali
lower to shake itself into position. Aft
er the hair has been dressed, how
ever, no risks are taken, and the
ribbons tied into a big bow on the
shoulders are loosened, thus making
an opening that permits the garment
to drop to the floor as does petticoat.
Even more scanty is the fichu comb
ing Jacket cut like an enormous shout
der cape with deeply pointed back and
fronts. Under the arms the edges
OF this cape are tied together with
broad ribbons and, to a certain ex-
tent form sleeves. But the fichu neg
ligee does not permit the same free
dom of movement afforded by the
Egyptian jacket. Nor is it SO modest
looking.
Latest Models the Prettlest.
Several changes are noted In the
shaping of the kimonos OF lowered
silk, muslin or challie and the new
cuts are undeniably an improvement
upon the former models. Most of all
marked is the treatment Of the back
form, which is now slightly gored from
the neck to the hips. The straight
out front forms are gathered into al
neck band which is a continuation of
the one bordering the garment and
the narrow straight sleeves are set
into long shoulders and really cover
the arms.

Riley, the beloved Hoosier poet, will
be the center of the greatest ovation
ever tenderedan American writer, Octo-
ber Z. is the poets birthday. but owing
to the fact that the celebration in his
honor will be of such proportions that
1t will be impossible to confine it to
one day, 1t has been decided to extend
It over period of six days. beginning
Monday, October Z, and ending Satur-
day. October ~. Indianapolis, Mr.
Riley's home town, has taken the lead
In this event. but the movement has
spread like wildfire and it is doubtful
whether there is n city or town in the
United States which will not have one
or more events scheduled in honor of
the poet who through the medium OF
his verEes has struck responsive
chord in every breast and has sue
ceeded in bringing poetry home to the
people.
Riley programs have long been pop
ular with literary clubs and during
Riley week these programs will take
on an added interest. Mr.. Riley is
widely known for his love of children.
Like his great predecessor. Longfel-
low, he has been able to fathom the
beauties of the child nature better
than most men, and many OF his best
poems have been written for, or about,
children. For this reason "Riley
Week" will be generally observed in
schools with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excellent
health. The paralysis which manifest
ed itself in his right arm little more
than year ago is rapidly disappear
Ing and he says he feels rs well as
ever he did in his life. Every day he
takes a long ride about Indianapolis
and the surrounding country in his
big touring car and he is known as an
enthusiastic motorist He is always
happy and is usually surrounded by
group Of close friends.
There is no more popular man in In
dianapolis than James Whitcomb RI
ley. and this popularity does not come
merely from the fact that he is "A
world figure. He was popular long be-
fore he was famous and when in his
presence one forgets the fact that he
is the greatest American poet. He Is
Just man, simple, unassuming, lik-
able. His fellow townsmen have al
