First Duty ls to Provide Suitable Coop
for Hen and Rrood-Two Methods
of Feeding.

During the Matching, II you are
wise, you will not be too curious, but
will allow the instinct of the hen to
do her work. It may be we'll to quiet
~ reach under the hen and remove
such egg shells as can be taken out
without disturbing her, but nothing
further should be attempted.
The first duty is to provide coop
for the hen and brood. No matter
what kind of a coop. from a barrel
laid down to the most improved pat
ented article, is used. See that it is
clean and the bottom covered with
find sand, or if the weather be really
cold, with oat chaf or short fine hay.
When the chickens are twenty-four
hours old they are ready to be re-
moved to their new quarters. Up to
this time, writes NJ e. Scully Of Illi-
nois in the Prairie Farmer, they
should have received no food, but they
are now ready for their first meal.
Give them water to drink in vessel
into which they cannot get their
bodies. A tin vegetable can with
small holes punched around the bot
tom and placed in deep saucer will
answer admirably. Whatever their
first food may be, give them only
small quantity. The best rule for
feeding is little and often"
Two distinct methods of feeding
have their special advocates, the wet,
that is, ground feed moistened with
milk or water; and the dry. I find
the latter method the more satisfac-
tory. feed cracked wheat, corn and
oatmeal.
Keep the chicks healthy and grow
ing right from the start. Keep them
dry and warm. Give them plenty Of
grit and pure water. If in a brooder
scatter food In chaff and let them get
exercise by scratching. The first
three weeks are the most critical time;
after that, If kept free from lice, they
will do we'll.

"wet Goods" Seized by Officers.

"Wet Goods" Seized by Officers.
Durham.-As result of the oper-
alton of the search and seizure law,
there are 81 gallons Of whiskey, 1853
bottles of beer and considerable fix
lures necessary in the dispensing of
the aforementioned wet goods" stor-
ed away in the equity and city jail
awaiting legal disposition. A few
days ago the county officers captured
trunk and rs gallons of whiskey, and
had the owner Of the goods bound
over to Superior court. The county
officers made another raid and added
so gallons of corn whiskey and the
alleged owner to the collection. Not
to be outdone, the city officers raided
a small grocery store and collected
two defendants and 1876 bottles of beer
The sale of whiskey is almost thing
of the past in Durham. All the tigers
have quit, it is said, only a few boot
leggers doing a dark alley business.
Whiskey that could have been pur-
chased at more than a score of places
a few weeks ago at prices ranging
from so cents to 81 a pint, depending
on the quality, cannot be had, it is
said, except from the bootleggers, and
the price has been doubled, almost
putting it out of the reach of the class
of people who patronize tigers, except
on payday.

VITAL QUESTION OF REVENUE
Cost to National Government From
Saloon Evil Is Comparatively Light
Income is Immense.

The most dangerous phase Of the
revenue question is the national one
The cost to the national treasury from
the saloon evil is comparatively light,
and the revenue derived Is very
large sum. The reports of the com
missioners of internal revenue, issued
August, 1910, show receipts of $685.
6O1, 5OO09 This immense revenue
paralyzes the moral nerve Of the au-
1horities at Washington, and little
help in controlling the evil can be ex-
pected from that quarter until the
work in the various states is far ad-
vanced.
Government officials and the public
generally will some time be convinced
that it is a short-sighted economy,
very poor financiering, to foster an In
dustry which makes so many people
xon-producers, results In the degen-
Grafton of whole families, and throws
an army of incapables upon the state
and upon charity" Imagine this ma
ton free from drunkards, and with
the criminal and pauper population re-
duced to one-tenth Of its present show
ing-how many more people there
would be earning regular incomes and
paying legitimate taxes! Facts per-
tanning to this side of the question
are piling up in prohibition states,
counties and towns, and are doing
much toward answering the revenue
argument of the anti-prohibitionists
For obvious reasons this argument is
not so conspicuous where the terri
tory covered by prohibition is local;
and the more local the proposed law
the less opposition from the fiscal
standpoint.

nent seat Of government may be ex'
pected to progress rapidly. To a GER
tain extent Australia initiates Canada
in selecting a capital. Canada did not
have to build Ottawa, from the ground
up, but it converted the old "Bytown,"
a lumber station and shipping point
into seat of government. Queen
Victoria made choice of Ottawa in
the capacity of grand arbitrator, after
Montreal, Quebec, Toronto and Kings
ston had quarreled for the distinction
of being the capital until any three
of them were ready to unite against
the fourth. Ottawa is now a beauti-
full city Of 100000 inhabitants, despite
the fact that it remains simply the

Plans Drawn by American Architect

In Canberra, N. s. W.-Will
BE City Beautiful.

Canberra, N. s. W.-Americans will
take q keen interest In the construc-
ton of the federal capital city of the
commonwealth Of Australia, because,
like the federal capital city of the
United States. it was completely plan
ned before the foundation stone Of the
first permanent building was laid, and
also because the architect whose de-
signs have been accepted, Walter Bur.
ley Griffin, is an American, says the
Boston Transcript. The choice Of the
Canberra district Of New South
Wales, as the site of the city, was
made by the commonwealth govern
ment in 1910, and the invitation to
architects embodying the conditions of
completion was issued April 80, 1911.
To give an idea of the magnitude Of
the task, it may be stated that the
requirements for the consideration OF
the designers included the ALLEGATION
of appropriate areas embracing sites
not only for the house Of parliament,
residence of the governor general and
the usual ministerial and administra-
tive offices, but places of public wor-
ship, mint, national art gallery and
library, state house, printing office,
government factories, university, tech
meal college, city hall, general post
Office, museum, central railway sta
ton, railway marshaling yards, mill
tary barracks, criminal and police
courts, Jail, hospital, national thea
ter, central power station, gas works.
markets, stadium, parks and gardens,
etc. It was a great work to design this
model city, and Mr.. Griffin may we'll
be congratulated on his success in
winning the opportunity to give Wash
ington, D. c., worthy sister in Can
berra, N. S. w.
Why the Australian government
should have decided to build the cap
ital of the country in the southeast
corner is not quite clear, but the site
Is certainly one that seems to invite
a "city beautiful" The lay of the
land, combining easy gradients with
prominent hills of moderate height,
will lend itself easily to the produc.
ton of fine architectural and land
scape effects. Canberra Is just east
of the Wagga Wagga district, and
about 40 miles from the town of Yass,
on the main line of the railroad be-
tween Sydney and Melbourne, and it
Is about $50 miles from Jervis bay,
