mort attention has been given to
poultry in Texas than previously, and
the next census should show Texas
leading not only in the number OF
fowl but also in egg production and
value. The possibilities of chicken
raisiung in Texas are equal to those
in any other state, and while the
value of the fowl and eggs may not
be so great as in states clOer to the
big markets the cost CT raising and
caring for the fowl is also less. Until
recently comparatively little atten'
ton has been given to raising in Tex
as the finer breeds Of chicken, and
this is one reason for the small val
lie and lesser egg production, as
shown by the government report, but
attention is being turned more and
more to the improved brands OF fowl
and the results are very satisfactory.

SHALL THE PRESIDENCY BE
BOUGHT

The Presidential primary promises
to be the most effective instrument of
political debauchery and corruption
that this country has ever known.
1t was bad enough to have the nom.
nation disposed of by corrupt bosses
like Hanna and Quay. It is infinitely
worse to have the nomination knocked
down to the highest bidder by a cor
rupt electorate.
The primary laws as they now
stand are an open invitation to the
buying and selling of the Presidency.
The Republican Presidential pri.
maries in Pennsylvania cost $4,000, 900.
In Allegheny county alone the Taft
managers spent $67,2S3 and the Roose.
