Marketing Poultry to Advantage.

Here are few hints to those who are in the business of raising market poultry: Market the roosters sepa- rately. Aim to attract the eye of the buyer. Have regular market days. Try to build up g reputation for prime stock Grow bone and muscle first, and then fatten. B1g-boned broilers are apt to be wrongly classified in market.
 Always notify your commission merchant before shipping. Young fowls shipped with old stock will command old stock prices. Poultry should be killed the day before mar keting when going direct to the con sumer. Do not mix white-skinned chickens in the same shipment with yellow-skinned ones. Have tag fast ened on each fowl you send to mar ket. It is the best way to advertise your stock,

RooseveIt's Campaign Fund

IL is HOW well known that Roosevelt's packer in this fight for the Republican nom nation, IS nothing less than the great "steel Trust" which IS a more powerful organiza- ton than the Standard Oil. They are paying Roosevelt's bllis, paying postage on his literature, hiring special cars aud automobiles and doing every thing that money can do 10 insure his nomination. Roosevelt himselfis endeavor- ing to create the impression that his fight against Taft IS the re ult of popular demand on the part of the republican voters, for his nomination, but that popular demand is created entirely by the enor- nous corruption funds Uf mil lions which the Steel Trust and Harvester Trusts are fur uishing. Roosevelt not only left these two great trusts un- harmed when he prosecuted the other trusts but he actu- ally helped the Steel Trust to swallow its only rival and com petitor, the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.,, ard Roosevelt actually promised the Trust that he wouldnot interfere with the consolidation which made inc Steel Trust the most powerful corporation this coun- try has ever produced.

Union Advocate,
Notwithstanding the extreme cold,
very enthusiastic audience of farm
ers were here to greet me today, and
if anyone has the idea that the peo-
pie of this county are one whit be-
hind the Union procession, they have
another think coming. The fact is,
these farmers are keenly alive to the
great possibilities of their country
and have long since come1o the con-
clusion that by uniting their forces
they can evolve that prosperity
which is the birthright of intelli-
gence. They regard the Farmers
Union as the circle inside of which
they can, as one man, fight that
hideous monster, ignorance, and be
assured that the laurels of victory
will ultimately crown their efforts.
They regard the Union as. an affirma-
tive force and body polite. They
fully appreciate the fact that all the
constructive forces of the State exist
as result of organization, therefore,
they are determined to make their
organization the bacteria that will
inoculate the barren fofcSs In The
social, financial and political soil OF
Mississippi, and cause maximum
crops of peace. prosperity and happi-
