.THRONGS OF
LOBBYISTS IN
The CAPITAL
INTERESTED IN TARIFF BILL
President Wilson Does Not
Fear Them

Washington, D. c., May rs
President Wilson has told the white
house correspondents here that he
believes the most extraordinary lob
by ever gathered by special interests
TO overcome legislation is now muster
ed at the capital against the pending
tariff bill.
The president said he had no doubt
that a few so-called lobbyists were
there ON legitimate errands, but that
the great majority were occupied in
a systematic misrepresentation of
facts. While the president believes
the lobby" opposition is concentrat-
ed against free sugar and free wool
he is not apprehensive that it will b9
successful.
The president later issued the fol-
lowing statement:
81 think that the public ought to
know the extraordinary eXertions be-
ing made by the lobby in Washington
to gain recognition for certain al
terations of the tariff bill Washington
has seldom seen so numerous, so in
dustrious, or so insidious, a lobby.
The newspapers are being filled with
paid advertisements calculated to
mislead the judgment of public men
not only, but also the public opinicn!
to gain recognition for certain alleged
evidence that money without limit is
being spent to sustain this lobby and
to create an appearance of pressure
Of public opinion antagonistic to the
chief items of the tariff bill
1T is of serious interest to the
country that the people at large
should have no lobby and be voice
less in these matters while great
bodies cf astute men seek to create
an artificial opinion and to overcome
the interests of the public for their
private profit. 1t is thoroughly worth
the while of the people of this coun>
try to take knowledge of this matte.
Only public opinion can check and
destroy it.
THE government in all it's branches
ought to be relieved from this intol-
cradle burden. l know that in this

FEED CHICKENS IN SUMMER
Not Improve In Ege-Laying n
= Given Some Grain,

The very common opinion that
farm flocks need no grain feed in
summer is seldom warranted. The
farm range is valuable, and there is
no place where eggs can be produced
as economically, but there are few
fiocks that will not improve in egg
yield II given at least one feed daily.
1t ought not TO be difficult to de-
ternine whether more feed is needed.
Something depends on the size of the
noch and the range, but the egg yield
will tell. There is only one probable
explanation for farm hens failure
to lay eggs in summer, and that Is
Lack Of feed. Occasionally 1t Is due to
lack of the right kind Of feed, but
generally II the hens have one feed
daily of any grain they viii give good
results.
Wheat, barley and oats are the
practical summer grains, but IL little
care is used and some meat, corn is
very good. Whatever grain Is used it
Is genuine economy to give the hens
access 10 dry bran. An open shallow
box will do If you haven't time to make
regular feed hopper, No poultry
man or farmer Is feeding to the best
advantage who does not feed bran.

some cases the hens do not begin till
the last part of October or early in
November. When such late mott
takes place the time for the complete
mott is generally not much more than
two months.
Since 1t has practically been proven
that forcing of the mott is not effect
i've, except In a few individual cases,
1t would seem that the only thing to
do In this period Is to take as good
care as Is possible with the flock so
that the fowls may finish their mott
in the best health. 1t will be under
stood by anyone that the shedding of
feathers and the building up of the
new covering Is a strain on any fowl

most no returns from his flock this 10
the time when their feeding should
be most carefully watched The USUAL
habit is. however, to neglect the flock
during this period simply because they
are not giving good results.

lures to be fed the flock during the
Noting period 10 given below. This
does not vary much from the feed

This latter mixture was used by the
Cornell experimental station in tests
along these lines.
Our general opinion is that more
thought should be given this question
OF Noting. and that careful attention
should be given fio@hs at this time.
The days when 30 eggs per year per
hen would be considered sufficient
have passed and 1t is remembered
that we now throw out the hen with
such a record and even criticize the
100-egg hen; we should also remember
that the results we expect cannot be
reached unless We give the flock the
best care that We possibly can and
consider no details too small to be
overlooked in the daily routine.

By RAY VAN pENrHuYsEND

CBy RAY VAN BENTHUYSEND
From the early part of August until
the end OF October the year-old stock
is going through a period of prepare
ton for the coming winter by getting
rid of the worn and old covering and
acquiring a beautiful new one. A
slight mott is also experienced by
some young pullets that have been
Matched very early in the year. The
only time we have ever had a chance
to observe this, however, was in the
case of six Plymouth Rock pullets
that were Matched in February. These
began to lay in the latter part of Au-
gust, and while they went through a
slight mott in the last part OF Oc-
tober, this mott was so gradual that
it did not seem to affect the egg yield
TO any noticeable extent. Other ex-
periences that we have heard of differ
from this and the above is probably
the exception rather than the rule.
Generally speaking, 1t appears that
pullets Matched earlier than the first
part of March will go through the molt
in October and November and may
not resume laying until late in Jan
uary. Therefore, it would seem that
old hens or April and early May
Matched pullets are the most desired
for early winter laying and for breed
ing purposes.
Regarding the heavy mott which
happens after the pullet year. eeveral
tests have been made from time to
time to see II this mott could be
forced" so that the hens would re-
sumo laying at least in November In
forcing the mott, the general plan is
to starve the flock for q period Of
from four to six weeks and then feed
heavily during the remainder OF the
period. 1t has generally been found,
however, that the fowls will mott al
most as quickly under normal condi-
tons as they will II forced.
II Is not generally known that the
time for q fowl to complete its molt
extends from about so days lin the
pullet year, to over 100 days (for the
older birds). Therefore, If yearling
begins Noting in the middle of Au
gust she will not have her full plum
age until about the middle of Novem
Der. This, however. is the earliest
date for the mott to commence and in
