Movement Against Taft
 Only Flash in Pan"
Reese Is the Only One Who Will Ad-
 init He Was in Movement.

Washington, July 13.-The scheme of Republican progressives in the House to launch fresh campaign against President Taft by means of Q. petition asking him to withdraw as the Republican nominee proved to be a flash in the pan last Tuesday
 When pinned to it, members who had participated in the conference joined the don't mention my name" club. Those who started the move ment abandoned their efforts to show the participation of the regular Re- publicans in it and it was clearly ap- parent that there was little support forthcoming from that direction. Only one of the participants in the informal conferences, Representative Rollin Reese (Kansas), publicly admitted his share in the proceedings He admit ted that he had a petition aimed at tNEr. Taft, and he made it public, coupled with the following statement:
 My scheme was to appeal to Presi- dent Taft's patriotism and well-known love for party solidarity. To be suc- cessful, my petition would necessar- fly have to be presented to him by those who are his political adherents ;d not ii ught th ! ny oNr views or that of ct6Gr progressive members wovid mako s@oh Impression on him, but it seemed to mo that if those who cal y have his welfare a heart would urge the views upon him that I tried tN set out in tae petition he would take the step suggested or devise some other plan that would relieve the party from it's present embarrassment. did not intend that the press should get hold of this scheme until I had a fair opportanity to try it out, but since it has become known I prefer that a correct version be given. had not proceeded far enough to so- licit any signatures but had submit ted the plan to several colleagues for the suggestions

Busy Chinese Hens.

It would appear that the hens of China find life moro real and earnest than enjoyable, for, it is said, when not matching out broods of their own kind, the additional and novel task of hatching fish eggs is thrust upon them. Chinese owners of hens col lect fish spawn, introduce it into empty eggshells, dramatically seal then and place them under the de. ceived and conscientious hen. In due time the shells are removed and the spawn, now warmed into life, is emptied into a shallow pool. Here the fish which appear are narsed and guarded until strong enough to be turned into a lake or stream, and sub sequently add to the edible resources of the people,

WHERE THE WEST BEGINS.
Out where the handclasp's a little
stronger
Out where the smile dwells a littel
longer.
That's where the West begins;
Out where the sun is little
brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are a
trifle whittier,
Where the bonds of home are a
wee bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifle
bluer,
Out where friendships a little
truer
That's where the West begins;
Out where fresher breeze is
blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
stream flowing.
Where there's more reapng and
less of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world Is in the max
ing,
Where fewer hearts with despair
are aching,
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more singing and
less of signing,
Where there's more giving and
less buying,
And one makes friends without half
trying,
That's where the West begins.

FOWL CHOLERA.

The symptoms usually noted are
as follows: The bird begins to nope,
remains on the roost with feathers
ruffled. head down and wings more
or less droopy; the bird present a
ball" appearance. The bird is very
weak and diarrhoea is present. The
discharge is of a greenish yellow
color. The bird usually lives from
three days to a week.
We have studied this disease and
conducted experiments with it in
chickens, turkeys and ducks.
When the abdominal cavity is
opened, tho liver will be noted to
be much larger than normal, ana
darker The spleen may be enlarged
The intestines are congested and
may appear inflamed.
AS to treatment: The hen house
and yards should be cleaned thor
oughly. The house, and so far as
possible, the yard, should be spray
ed once a day with five per cent
solution of carbolic acid, zenoleum
or creolin. Birds should be watered
from drinking fountains. These
should be cleaned and disinfectec
once a day, using disinfecting so
luton same strength as for house
and yards. The feed should be given
in troughs which are so constructed
as not to allow stepping into them.
These should be cleaned and disin-
fected once or twice a day. AS the
germs escape from the sick birds
from the discharge, the birds, as
soon as noticed to be ailing should
be destroyed and burned, or at
least separated so as to prevent fur
their distribution of the germs.
AS treatment sulphocarbolate tab
lets containing the sulpho-car-
bolate of calcium sodium and
zinc, have given us the best result
in our experimental work. Vaccine
ton has also been successfully car
ried on. B. F. KAUPP.
