This measure was bitterly attacked by
Senator Salant. of New York. Progressive,
and tho Republicans Il was termed a
mere patronage grab and a piece or mon
umental folly and extravaganza. The pre-
diction was made that the proposed de-
partment would cost from sl0o,wJ TO wv
90 year in promoting efficiency ana
economy" and then, II it accomplished
the work it was Undertaking to do, would
be usurping the Legislatures functions or
doing work which would have TO be dupli-
Gated.
Tho bill came from the Sulzer inVesu-
gators, who looked into the workings OF
state departments, and constitutes about
all there is of the constructive programme
of reform. Tt provides for the appoint

BRAHMAs As EGO PRODUCERS
Veteran Poultry Judge and Breeder

widely known breeder, Mr.. I. X. Felch
says: 1t has been my claim. and II
can be substantiated, that the Brahma
Will lay $50 eggs in a year, and hatch

What one hen may have done Is no
criterion OF a flock's proficiency. not

OF eight fowls laid between February
and June I, four months, an average
OF IS. SSk. Ss, and during May laid
o total Of 200 eggs, and average of 25,
each for that month. I think there
are many Brahmas that have reached
200 eggs in year as any other breed.
But $50 eggs and rear a brood OF
chickens places them among the best
and most profitable of all breeds. At

Keep strict account of the expense

Natick for 1910 was 37]a cents. Every
