WHILE there is small Kilkenny fight
going on In Democratic ranks for suprem-
acy and for the prize Of the Democratic
nomination for Governor, the Repnbli-
cans are quietly looking over the situa-
ton and discussing the way to secure vic
tory in the future There is no strong
contention among set of men for the
leadership on the Republican ticket, but
the members of that party are not asleep
by any means. There is strong senti-
ment in this state for the nomination OF
former Governor Edward G. Stokes as the
head Of the Republican ticket. Mr.. Stokes
IA silent on the situation. he will not say
whether he will or will not become a can
didate, but he Ia exerting himself to bring
about an alliance between the Republi-
cans and Progressives. He is the shrewd-
est and most far-seeing politician in this
state and he may be relied upon to act for
the best interests of all, and when he does
decide he win know just exactly what he
ia doing. At present he is on trip to
Bermuda. When he returns he may have
something to say.

THE FACT that women were not success
full in an attempt to get on the Board OF
Education In this township is not to be
taken as reflection upon the candidates,
on the contrary they have reason to be
proud of the good showing they made in
the face of organized opposition. There
were elements In the contest that caused
some Of the patriotic orders to get to-
gether and endorse three men. The town
was canvassed by those interested In this
movement and as result 2O7 of the bo7
votes were solid for the men endorsed.
The balance were divided among all the
other candidates. The move to have
women on the Board of Education was
new for this town. It has been tried
successfully elsewhere and before another
year rolls around 1t will probably receive
more favorable attention here.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Several Ranch readers have asked
me if 1 think broiler raising would
pay them and only a week ago one
young gentleman wrote to me stating
his intention to start in the business
right away, though it is evident that
he won't get any chicks Matched be-
fore May and his earliest broilers will
be pretty late in getting to market.
I never could see much money in
raising broilers. AS necessary in
cident to pullet raising-I almost said
necessary evil have raised quite a
few thousands of broilers, but have
never found it profitable; that is for
the season. My usual yearly ex-
perience is that the earliest matches
pay a small profit, the next few
matches break even and the later
matches lose money; and for the
whole season the balance is on the
wrong side of the account. But | don t
expect my experience to deter those
who are figuring on broiler raising as
a short road to wealth, and it is not
right that it should, for, undoubted-
ly, some of these people will have
better success than L have and, again,
prices may be better in future than
they have been of recent years. AS
the earliest broilers pay the best, and
the Leghorns can be marketed at half
the weight asked of larger breeds, it
follows that the Leghorn - white
variety preferred-is the breed to
rear for this purpose.

Decidedly conditions in the poultry
business are improving and at the
present time prices are better than at
the corresponding dates one year and
two years ago. On comparing last
weeks returns from Seattle with those
of exactly one year ago l found that
the eggs had Melted me little more
than a cent a dozen above last years
price, that Gull hens and ROSTERS
shipped into market had brought
three cents per pound above last years
price and that the broilers brought
from LOO to 81. % per dozen more
than they did just one year ago. This
looks encouraging and would seem to
indicate that the good old law of sup
ply and demand, once supposed to
govern prices, cannot be entirely
abolished or stultified by our friends
of the cold storage trust.
The simple fact is that the bottom
of the depression in the poultry bust
ness has been reached at last, and
prices are now steadily on the up
grade. The principal reason for this
remarkable and almost unhoped for
change has been the curtailment OF
production. Our cold storage friends
now know how the chap in the old
fable felt after killing his goose that
laid him the golden eggs Had these
egg kings. having the whip hand OF
us. allowed us to make enough from
the sale of our eggs to pay the feed
bills even, the whole bunch OF us
might have gone on turning our
profits over to them and living on
hope for years to come; but their last
raid on the market, when they tried
to fill their warehouse for nothing,
was too raw even for the long suffer
ing poultry raisers. Smashing the
price of eggs down to the lowest mark
on record, just before the Matching
season began, was fool break, for 1t
scared out a lot of poultry ra1sers
who we're pretty we'll discouraged by
the past two seasons business but who
intended to hang on another year.
Instead of starting up their incuba-
tors as usual, these people quit right
there; dumped their hens on the
market and have been trying ever
since to sell their incubators. Since
that fatal day in February when eggs
went down to 16 cents dozen in Sc
attic there have been three distinct
raises in the price and l cheerfully
prophesy that it is not the end of it.

two years. The cutting down of the
supply should assure good prices for
the coming year, and after this present
season we have before us a general
revival of business due to more settled
political conditions; we have the
opening of the Panama canal and the
great rush to the Pacific Coast in con-
sequence also. to help us greatly,
we have the big Worlds Fair and the
large increase in consumption entailed
by it. Certainly for the next three
years to come we have every right to
expect that conditions in our business
will improve all the time; and by the
end of that time we surely ought to
have our business of buying and sell
ing properly organized and regulated.
1t doesn't seem bit unreasonable to
me to expect this much; and l am
by no means professional optimist,
as the readersof this paper we'll know.

A Brighter Outlook

With the hens out of the way, eggs
are likely to become a scarce com
modify, but the ranchers can hardly
be blamed for deciding that they had
been stuck long enough for paying
the board of lot Of unfortunate hens
unable to earn their own living by
producing eggs at cold storage rates.
The clearing out of such quantities
of hens, and the curtailment of the
seasons Matching, has assured better
prices for long time to come. AS
the summer and fall and early winter
production Of eggs is bound to be
considerably less than in recent years
I fail to see how considerable in
crease in price over the quotations of
the past two years can be prevented.
That early Matching is fifty per cent
less than last season is shown by the
poor business done by most of the
hatcheries in the Northwest, and the
desperate efforts of the Petaluma
hatchers to dump their wretched pro-
duct on the Puget Sound poultry men
at almost any price. Many of these
California chicks are foisted upon
the unsuspecting buyer as local pro-
duct; the poultry supply houses and
other agencies handling them giving
out the impression that the chicks
are of local origin. Several recognize
ed poultry experts known to the writer
have visited the ranches in the Peta-
luna district where these chicks get
their first start in life, and found the
condition of land and fowls unbeliev-
ably bad. But we are DEPRESSING. l
started to showroom the poor bust
ness done by the hatcheries-that
there will be nation wide scarcity of
layers next winter-to say nothing Of
the intervening time-and we are not
likely to have our local markets flood
ed with cheap eggs from other local
tiles as has been the case in recent
years. With good season seemingly
assured them, some of the wise old
heads have gone to Matching again
and the output of May Matched chicks
bids fair to be nearly as great as that
of March and April combined; but it
cannot possibly be large enough to
effect the situation, for only person
actively engaged in the breeding bust
ness can realize how great was the
falling off in this seasons Matching.
do not think that we will ever
again see egg quotations as low as last
February's, or as those of the past

One of the commonest forms of
neglect OF brooder chicks, yet, ap-
parently, never noticed, thought of
or mentioned is failure to drive them
out of doors for reasonable portion
of the time when the weather is good.
Chicks differ in individual traits
much as children do. Some are more
energetic than others, some are fresh
air fiends and others prefer the
heated atmosphere of the brooder
room. or course the chick that hangs
around indoors all day will not

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, ii
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea.
1t may not be fair for any to do that
let us hope so for the sake of
the cook! The disease dyspepsia in
dicates a bad stomach, that is a weak
stomach, rather than a bad cook
and for a weak stomach there
is nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. 1t gives the stomach vigor and
tone, cures dyspepsia, creates appetite,
and makes eating the pleasure it
should be.--Adv.
