EARLY MoLTlNG OF CHICKENS
Western Poultryman Gives Excellent
Method of Controlling Hens in
Changing Feathers.

Most people believe that If they can
force their hens to mott early they
will lay more eggs during the season,
but this is not true Hens that have
molted late will lay more eggs during
the winter than the early molters.
This has been shown by the most
careful experiments, but the facts are
not generally known.
Noting hens require large amours
Ut feed containing nitrogen such as Of
meal, meat and other feeds rich in pro
tein. Melting can be forced by cutting
down the feed of hens as it has been
shown by sxperim entS that scantily
fed hens begin melting earlier than
those on full feed, but the former do
; not finish melting much earAer.
Starved hens mott more uniformly
than others and this is particularly
noticeable IN hens two or three years
cid.
In an experiment conducted by the
Cornell experiment station it was
found that On n basis Of 100 hens the
fed flock produced eggs to the value
| VI V@V"Ot 6AVEV IANA Wy LDS SC&lA FC0
Cock
The total income from all the birds
was 827S FOR the starved flock and
$3.50 for the fed flock, a difference in
favor OF natural melting for the year
of about sos.
A western poVltryman of long ex-
| perience gives his method of controll-
ing melting as follows:
As soon as the hens are through
| laying he turns them out on alfalfa,
| feeding them dry bran Only, in addi-
ton. Under this treatment they get
thin. Then he feeds them a mixed
ration Of grains and meat, giving a
light feed IN the morning and all they
will eat at noon and night. Under
this treatment they finish melting
quickly, get new feathers and begin
laying in September. BY October 1
they are all in good laying condition
and make profit through the fall
and winter.

Overcrowding ducklings will induce
beather-pulling.
Kerosene is sure death to- lice, if
applied as a spray.
Hens suffer from overeating as
much as from starving.
It is provoking to have hens steal
their nests this time of the year.
The feeding of onions to laying hens
has produced an onion flavor in eggs,
A hen egg-bound will be seen to
visit the nest repeatedly without re-
suit.
Fodder corn makes fine green food

the white variety being the most pop
ular.
Their blocky shape makes them an
excellent breed for broilers. Like the
Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island
Reds, they lay brown egg. The Leg
horns lay a white egg, and in this re-
1pect they have a slight advantage, as
most markets prefer the white egg,
though there is no difference in the
qualities of eggs with brown or q

The Barred Plymouth Rock is with

The pure-bred animal is "hardy''
enough when properly cared for
to withstand all the hardships,
exercise, or exposure necessary to
develop vigorous, healthy animals,
and when he is subjected to more
than this the farmer is losing
rather than gaining thereby. We
must learn to feed and care for
our livestock better, not because
the livestock will not stand more
hardships, but because his better
feeding and care will pay. The

THE SPARTANBURG MEETING.
First Session OF subcommittee
Proved Somewhat Stormy.
(Cor. Atlanta constitutional

Spartanburg, Sept. 24.-At the
meeting here to-day to investigate
charges Of fraud in the primary cleo
ton Of August 81, in which Governor
Blease was nominated for reelection
on the face Of the returns by a ma"
jority of 5000 out of 100000 votes
cast, a subcommittee of the State
Democratic Executive Committee re-
ceived numerous affidaVits and re-
ports from county committees in
which it was represented that hun
dreds Of fraudulent ballots we're cast
In the Piedmont counties and irreg-
ularities were frequent all owe the
State.
Many specific incidents we're cited
IN which non-residents, men not en-
rolled, negroes and minors were al
lowed to vote, while repeating was
said to be common. Several cases
were found, 1t was declared, in which
one man voted as many as five times.
Riot was Threatened.
The meeting Of the subcommittee
was interrupted several times by a
noisy throng Of supporters Of Cover
nor Blcasc, who at n time threat
cned to create a riot when J.. NJ.
Greer, a pro-Blease member Of the
subcommittee. denounced the anti
Blease majority for having held a
meeting at Charlotte, n. c., at which
they outlined the committees plan
Of procedure.
Inftamed by Mr.. Greer's angry
words, a hundred or more men left
their chairs with yells and advanced
menacingly towards w. f. Steven
son., chairman, when he called Mr..
Greer to order.
Samuel j.. Nichols, an attorney for
Governor Blease, begged the men for
the Governors sake to preserve Or
der, and was joined by Fred II. Dom
mick, the Governors campaign man
ager. They finally induced the
crowd to permit the Investigation to
continue.
Almost Constant Wrangling.
In opening the session Chairman
Stevenson expressed the hope that
there would be no cleavage in the
committee along the lines of Blease
and Jones, the rival candidates for
Governor. Other members of the
committee spoke similarly. Never
theless there was sharp discussion
between the Blease and Jones mem
berS on almost every question aris-
ing. and almost constant wrangling.
Governor Blease's attorneys took
the position that the committee
ought to admit only such evidence OF
fraud as was presented by Judge
Jones, but Chairman Stevenson ruled
that the committee would admit evi-
dence from any source. He prom
Used, however, hat every opportunity
would be given for the refutation Of
the charges.
Serious Allegations OF Fraud.
1t vas late in the afternoon when
the roll call OF counties was begun,
and the inquiry made as to whether
fraud had been discovered in them.
Spartanburg, Grccnville, Aiken and
Anderson counties presented the
most serious allegations OF fraud.
