GET READY.

Comes now-"not yet but soon" the
beginning of the chicken year; that
is to say the time when the new pull
lets begin their laying and the flock
has been culled of its surplus mem
bers; and it is good time to repair,
renovate, fix up and clean up; to
make good resolutions regarding the
care of the new f1ock-and perhaps to
keep them.
Whitewash, and whitewash we'll.
Coat the laying houses thoroughly,
using long nozzel spray pump il the
job is good sized one. Paint the bot
toms of the nests (inside) with the
good old German Avenarius. spray
roosts and dropping boards and the
immediate contiguous territory with
coal oil laced with dash of crude
carbolic. Go over all the walls and
cover every crack and knot hole, and
make certain that the fowls will not
be in the way of draughts from any
source.
If your laying houses have earth
floors, remove the top crust and get
down to where the soil is reasonably
sweet and clean. Then bring in
several inches of fresh soil. Make
sure that the earth floor of your pens
is higher than the ground outside; a
foot higher if possible. Make sure,
also, that you have sufficient sup
ply of oat straw or other litter to run

you through the winter at least; ill.,
deed it is good business to lay in a
full years supply now. A ton of
straw annually to each hundred layers
can generally be used to advantage.
And don't wait until midwinter or
early spring to build brooder houses,
fences and such other extra construc-
tion as you plan to install. Do it now
while the weather is suitable and you
can best spare the time for the job.
Ii you plan to get an incubator, get
it now, and be utterly independent of
snow bIockades, car shortages and
factory rushes. If you intend to get
more breeding stock, get it now. If
you wait you will have to deal with
irresponsible people and may be
obliged to use inferior stock. This
applies to Matching eggs or baby
chicks as we'll. The best breeders
have most of their output engaged
many months ahead of time. The
present is the time to order.
If not already done, now is the time
to make sure of supply OF green
stuff for the fowls this winter. Hunt
up some farmer in your neighborhood
who has field of lnaugeIs or sugar
beets and buy them now. You will
find them very hard to get later on.
A ton of beets to every hundred
layers is rather a liberal provision
but, if properly stored, they will keep
without rottlng until next May and
the early Matched chicks will dispose
of the surplus.
These are but few of the "get
readys"; many more will doubtless
occur to you and now is the time;
today's the day. Give the new flock
of pullets fair chance to do their
best. They can do 1t only by being
kept in good health right along and
cleanliness and comfort are as i'm
portant means to that end as good
feeding.

included) and leave nice little profit
besides. 1t should not be necessary
to spend much money on equipment
for such a competition. Houses and
runs suitable for the purpose should
be part of every experiment sta

knowledge gained in such a contest
would be that of caring for SO many
fowls in the most efficient and
economical manner. If the contest
was so conducted other valuable
knowledge would be acquired regard
ing the profit of operating so repre-
sentative lot of fowls for full year
and in this way the contest would
benefit the general run of poultry

MARKETING POULTRY PRODUCE.

Every country should have poultry
association, and in it should be found
every poultryman who has poultry
dressed or alive; eggs, fancy or
market, for sale at any time of the
year. Each association should en-
ploy man of experience and honor
and place him in the arest market
center for the purpose of marketing
the produce. 1t would be his duty to
make contracts with restaurants,
grills, hotels and confectIoners for
supplying them with guaranteed fresh
eggs and poultry that is not kept in
cold storage for weeks and months.
Do you see where this would place the
poultrymen in relation to the profits?
AS it is now the cost OF grain and
other feed for poultry is so great that
the wholesale price of poultry pro-
ducts is far below living price, not
to say anything about realization of
profit. By having a man in charge
of the marketing the poultrymen
would obtain the retail price for his
produce.

Hon. Jno, D. Archbold,
New York, n. Y.

Dear Mr.. Archbold-Yours Of
the 9th instant was found by me
in Philadelphia upon my return
from New York yesterday I would
be very glad to help Mr.. Theodore
Cuyler Patterson at any proper
opportunity, but do not believe I
will be able to do much for him
in connection with the position Of
Prothonotary of the Supreme
Court in which you refer. The
place is involved in many compli-
cations, and there are several
candidates, and the situation is
not altogether, or even very
much, within my influence or
control. I will explain the matter
more fully to you when I see YOU.

JNO. d. ARCHBOLD.
To Mr.. R. H. Bissell.

Mr. Archbold seems to have had a
finger in every judicial pie and to have
exercised on behalf of his company
almost a determining influence in every
judicial nomination or appointment.
The above letters relate mainly to the
judiciary of Pennsylvania, but the
Standard Oil Company did not confine
its activities to Pennsylvania. There
were judges in Ohio whose Familiarity
with Oil and Gas fitted them for serv-
ice in the most sacred chamber Of pop
ular government.
The Standard Oil Company took the
same interest in these judges that it
took in the judges of Pennsylvania 1t
wrote to its servants from Ohio in the
United States senate, and the letters
written are very much in the same
style. The following letter will serve
as an example;
New York, December is, 1902.
My Dear Senator-You, of
course, know of Judge Burket s
candidacy for reelection to the
supreme court bench in Ohio. We
understand that his reelection to
the position would be in line of
usage as followed in such cases in
Ohio, and we feel very strongly
that his eminent qualifications and
great integrity entitle him to this
further recognition.
We most earnestly hope that
you agree with this view, and will
favor and aid his reelection. Mr..
Rogers joins me most heartily in
this expression to you,
With kind regards, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
JNO, D. ARCHBOLD.

derson's fitness, either as to char
acter or legal qualifications.
With high regards, I am,
Very truly yours,
JNO. D. ARCHBOLD.

The uaivete Of Mr. Archbold in the
above letter is interesting and anus
ing. As Mr.. Archbold wrote to Gen
era! Elkin directing him to become in
ter, sted in "a measure pending" before
the legislature of Pennsylvania FOR
reasons which seem to us potent"
without deigning to let General Elkin
known what the reasons were that
seemed SO potent to the Standard Oil
Company. SO Mr. Archbold writes TO
the governor of Pennsylvania, the Hon
William a. stone He says
81 am sure | need not occupy your
time with any argument as to Judge
Henderson's fitness either as to char
acter or legal qualification"
Mr. Archbold seems to think that
there is sufficient reason for Judge
Henderson's appointment in the state
ment that 1T VIII be matter of in
tense personal satisfaction to me-
His Fitness" Not Discussed
The question Of Judge Henderson's
fitness is not discussed, the ques-
ton Of Judge Hendersons character
Is not discussed; the question Of
Judge Henderson's legal qualifca-
lions" is not discussed.
The only point that is made. and
that It IS considered necessary to make.
is that the appointment of Judge Hen
derson would be "of intense personal
satisfaction" 10 John d. Archbold and

Quay. Even Bull Andrews, Quay's
understudy, who has since gone to

what Quay did In Pennsylvania, lent a
hand.
All the oil trust captains had TO help,
for there was opposition among Hen
