The birds in our pens are supplied by
The most famous breeders in America,
and each little flock is as thoroughly
sequesterd from the others as if an
ocean rolled between them
Among those birds was a pen of Rose

breeder and a gentleman. Imagine,
then. my amusement on receiving late
in the season. a letter in which the
writer said, among other things Either
YOU or Mr. futile let your game cocks
run with the Reds, for | have a couple

Think Of that nowI
Not Up On History.
And neither Mr.. futile nor I had a
game bird in our Yards.
The writer of that letter knew moth
ing of the history of the Rhode Island
Reds else he would have been aware
that the game was merely the out
cropping of the old Malay blood which
gives the Reds their splendid vitality
Another instance:
Recently a fancier who has a splen-
did flock of White Orpingtons. en-
ployed me to score some Of his best
bids from which to select his best
breeding pen. To his amazement dis
carded couple of his biggest and
Whltest birds. But when I pointed out
the fact that the wings of one showed

White Leghoms-both of which were
used in producing the White Orping-

does not know values expects more

HOW TOJUDGE
WIRE FENCING
Test in Solution of SuIphate of
Copper Will Determine Last
ing Qualities.

For some time past there have been
complaints as TO the lasting qualities of
wire fencing The trouble seems to be
that the galvanizing did not wear as well
as on wire fence bought in previous
years For the benefit of our readers
who buy wire fencing and are compelled
to accept the word of the maker as to
the quality | give test taken from the
Western Union Telegraph Companys
specifications:
The wire will be plunged into the
saturated solution of sulphate Of copper
permitted to remain one minute and then
wiped clean. This process will be per
formed four times If the wire appears
black after the fourth immersion, it shows
that the zinc has not been all removed
and that the galvanizing is well done;
but if it has a copper color the iron is
exposed showing that the zinc is too
thin"
A Test Easily Made.
The saturated solution of sulphate Of
copper commonly called blue stone) is
made by putting as much blue stone in
water as will be dissolved. There is no
harm if some blue stone remains undis
solved in the bottom of the jar
This test can be made very easily at
the time of purchasing the wire fence
by cutting off piece of wire and dip
ping it into small bottle filed with the
solution.
II might be we'll to try some fencing
that YOU have on hand now, and note
the difference between that which YOU
| have had long time and fencing recent
ly purchased.
fencing, so reject all inferior goods that
do not come very near this test.

clare They Will Support
Governor in Fight.

Both Speaker Clark and Leader Oscar
Underwood have come out in strong
statements rallying their friends to the
support of the Wilson ticket.

NEWMAN PLEDGES
SUPPORT FOR NEW
PRIMARY Law HERE
Former National Committee
man Says Poor Leader
ship Defeated Clark.

Pledging his support to a genuine pri-
mary law for the District Of Columbia,
asserting that the Wilson Marshall
ticket is one of great strength and that
the Clark forces lost out at Baltimore
because of too much peanut politics, e.
A. Newman. former national committee
man from the District, issued a state
meH yesterday setting forth his views
of the Baltimore convention and the i'm
mediate prospects of Democrats.
The ticket that has been nominated
Is, In my opinion, of very great strength,
and l do not doubt that 1t will be VIC
torious in the coming election by an
overwhelming majority.
I'VE must never again permit in the
National Capital such shameful con-
duct as characterized the Democratic
and Republican primaries, and when we
have established a law under which the
primaries may be conducted in the
future there will be little chance for the
party machinery again passing into the
hands of those who in no sense are rep
resentative of the electorate of the Dis
trict."
Mr.. Newman also declares that he
much regretted the defeat of Champ
Clark for the nomination. and asserts
that his candidacy was greatly" handi'
capped by his choice of managers, men
who had no political ideals or stand
ards. and with whom political action is
matter only of deals, trades, wire
pulling. and manipulation"

convention was thrown out
