WGOROUSDEFENSE
OF CURRENCY BILL
MADE BY GLASS
Friends of Measure Predict
Its Approval as Result
of First House
Session

Washington, August IA vigorous de-
Tense of the administration currency pin
oT Representative Carter Glass. one of
It's authors, was received with general
applause and support in the first session
today of the caucus of democratic mem
bers of the House, before which the meas
urc is to be worked over and its fate de-
teimined.
Representative Glass speech followed an
unsuccessful attempt by the 'insnrgent"
democrats of the banking and currency
committee to have the CAUCUS thrown
opes to the public Led by representa-
tlves Neely of Kansas and Ragsdale OF
South Carolina, members of the commit
tee; Representative. Henry of Texas ami
others. the advocates of open caucus mus
tered 6s votes against 119.
Laid Before Caucus
The currency bin was laid before the
caucus by Representative Glass as chair
man of the committee, with the indorse-
ment of II democratic members. Repre-
sentatives Neely and Representative
Ragsdale and Representative Eagle of
Texas withheld .ther approval. Mr..
Glass speech in explanation of the bill,
which began as general statement of ne
purpose and hopes of its trainers, was
turned into an emphatic defense of the
measure when the insurgents insisted
that 1t should make provision for the IS
suance of currency upon warehouse re-
oeipts for corn, wheat and cotton.
Speculation would receive the active sup
port of the government, he declared, if
these amendments were put into the bill.
The legitimate demands of farming COM
munities, he said, for money to carry ON
ordinary farming and commercial opera
ticns were fully covered by the measure
and to make warehouse receipts for cot
ton or grain a legal security for the is
suance of the proposed new treasury notes
would furnish the means by which specu.
lators could hold the cotton and grain
crops in storage for an indefinite period.
Approval Predicted
Friends of the administration bill as
the result of todays opening session. pre-
dicted Hfat the caucus would approve the
measure with few changes. Representa-
tives Neely, Ragsdale and Eagle will lead
fight, however, for the adoption of the
proposed agricultural amendments and
also for amendments to prevent interlC,k-
ing directorates of national banks and to
pi event banks from loaning money to tn sir
officers.
The caucus agreed to allow eight hours
of general debate on the bill, one-half
to be controlled by Chairman Glass and
the other half by Representative Neeley
of the 'insurgent' forces. 1t is expected
that the caucus will run throughout ,-.e
week, as the bill will be read and debated

Specialized poultry farms are be-

many cases these are paying good
returns on the money invested, but
their effect on the supply Of eggs and
dressed poultry for our large markets
is but as a drop in the ocean. 1t is
for the small focks of so to 800 fowls
kept upon the farms as a side line
that We must depend for our supply
of poultry products in the future as IN
the past, says Prof. p, G, Holden in
the Farm and Home Poultry Annual.
No other branch of agriculture is rep
resented on so many farms. The cen

a heavy wire, weaving it in the mesh
and lacking it firmly to the posts.
Later on the wire was discontinued
and. instead. a ditch of about six
inches was dug and the mesh tackled
to the bottom OF the posts and firmly
drawn up.
But it remained for a HammontOn,
n. j., ponltrymsn-Charles A. Nelson
to devise a 1oethod by which not
only is the wire held firmly in place,
but fewer posts are required. BY this
plan posts can I've from Is to 20 feet
apart. A heavy wire is tackled on the
top Of the posts; and In the center
of the space, between posts, a small
piece of wire is twisted around the
mesh and the cable wire, which holds
the former firmly. 1t will be noticed
that the posts arc a few inches higher
than the wire fencing. If the work
is carefully done a cheap and excellent
fence can thus be secured.

Farm Machinery.

Numerous Investigations upon this
farm machinery question have brought
cut that the life of farm machinery de-
rends a great deal on the owner. The
same identical machine or implement
will last twice as long with n man
IS it does with another. The difference
il duration is in favor of the ma
ohinery that is housed. All leather
telts and canvas parts should be ia
ken from the machine and stored in
q dry place and in a place free from
rats and mice. A few of these rodents
can do a great amount of damage in a
very short time. Figure the cost of
your machine and the per cent. it
earns on the investment and see if you
cannot afford to shelter it well. The
years that will be added to the life of
IT, will offset the first cost many times
over.

TO range through many crops that are
grown on the farm without damage
to the crops and by such practice Sc
cure double returns from the same
piece of land.
Orchards or cornfields are ideal for
this purpose and the presence of the
chickens in them is beneficial rather
than detrimental, as they will destroy
large numbers of insects Injurious to
the crops, The movable colony house
which is rapidly coming into general
use on the Farm makes it possible to
scatter the chickens out over the
fields.
This method is especially valuable
for handling the young stock, as it
gives freedom to the birds. The re.
suit will be stronger, more vigorous
birds. BY rowing the house close tc
the fields where small grains have
been harvested the birds are able tC
turn into profitable gains the shelleG
grain and scattered heads which re
