and cafes frequented by all-night
merrymakers, is to be appointed, &C
cording to a decision reached by the

Feed Gagged Birds in
Park.

MOUNT JOY, PA, Sept 27.-While
other communities are bewailing the
fact that their gardens, trees, fields
and frequently their homes have been
invaded by worms, the thrifty youth
full residents of Mount Joy have found
in the crawlers a source of revenue.
Not only has the gathering Of worms
become a regular occupation among
many boys of the community, but the
rivalry has become so keen that it's
literally the early boy that gets the
worm"
Five thousand crawlers were ship
ped out of here the other day. They
were consigned to Superintendent
Ratchford, of Forest Park, st. Louis
who wants them to feed to his Gagged
birds.

Manchester, N. H., Nov. ia live
ly topic of discussion was furnished,
today, at the national grange session
foIlowingOthe declaration of National
Master Oliver Wilson that an effort
was being made to- disrupt the organ
ization. t'The interests behind this
move" said Mr.. Wilson, in addressing
a public meeting, last night, have
come here to further their work. They
have sent reports back to the middle
west and to Washington that the ma

and bankers. The fact that they are
attempting to disrupt the national
grange we cannot get away fromg'
The business session, this forenoon,
was followed ny the comforting of the
9Th and 7th degrees upon large class

In his annual address, Master Will
son said:
The building Of the Panama Canal
is a national project of which all
Am orleans are proud, yet the same
am cunt of. labor and money spent on
our highways at home would create
benefits nearer and probably more i'm

Master Wilson declared that the
federal government almost totally ig-
nored the question of transportation
between the country home and the
railroad, the farm and the business
center, except to give advice on road
construction.
s.The National Grange he said
should consider the employment OF
prisoners in preparation of road ma

placing them on their honor, wherever

WARNING AGAINST
SAND-STUFFED CHICKENS
Poultry Packers Are Adding to the
Weight of Chickens by Feeding
Them With Sand Before
They Are Killed.

washington, Nov. 13.-The q. S.
Department of Agriculture, after ex-
tensive study of the practice of GER
tain poultry packers in feeding chick
ems with quantities of sand just before
thew are killed, so that the poultry will
weigh more, has issued a, warning to
housewives to scrutinize carefully the
craws of any undressed chickens they
buy. and to watch the craws of chick
ems that are being dressed by the
butcher.
The Government inspectors have for
some time been investigating the prac-
tees of certain poultry shippers who
collect chickens from farms and kill
and ship them in large quantities. In
some of these places the inspectors
found that the practice was to take
the chickens as they came from the
farms, nearly always below weight or
out of condition because of their be-
ing iII-fed on the farms and handled
roughly the cars, and keep them
in fattening pens for from three days
to two weeks. The chickens are fed
corn meal and water or finely ground
mixed grains and buttermiIk. This
practice is becoming more and more
general and is highly desirable be-
cause both quality and quantity of ed
| ible flesh is increased. It is also prof
Einterest on the investment necessary
to add a pound in weight still leaves
a good margin of profit provided the
fattening is rightly done.
| Not content, however, with adding
Iegitimately to the weight Of the
1 pers, a, day or two before the chick
| en- is killed, feed red pepper, which
makes the chicken have an abnormal
appetite, then they feed a mixture of
fine sand and a little corn meal
| The chicken eats this mixture raw
| ann17GIxy a q oT,%i
| ties of sand are introduced into the
craw and the intestines as well. This
| may amount, in the case of a single
chicken, to only an ounce or two, but
where thousands of chickens are sold
| the aggregate charge for sand be-
I that the poultry dealer is selling sand
to the consumers at the rate of 20
cents or more per pound.
| The housewife should scrutinize the
| crops of poultry before buying ann
i make 1t very plain to her poultry
pay at the rate of 20 to 80 cents per
pound for an ounce or more of sand
introduced into the body of a chicken
with the view of defrauding the pur-
chaser. In fact, she should rebel
l.against food in the crop, because.
quite aside from fraud, the presence
of food means that the chicken has
mot kept as well as it would have kept
/ had 1t been starved for "a hours be-
4 fore killing. All reputable poultry
packers starve the birds before
slaughter, which results in empty in
testtnes as well as empty crops. The
makeshift of cutting slit in the croL
and squeezing out the food is moi
satisfactory, because that does mo-
! empty the intestfnes. If the house
wife would have the poultry drawn Ii
her own kitchen she could catck
frauds of this character and takt
means to prevent them

THE DEATH PENALTY
REDUCES HoMICIDES

Editor of the Farmer:
Sir:-An investigation of the statis-
ties shows that there are more kill
ingS per million in states where there
is no capital punishment than in states
where the death penalty is inflicted.
If this is the case. capital punish
ment is justified. The only objection
to the death penalty is that it takes
a. life, but if by taking one life, we
can save two more, then it is our duty
to take the one.
Let us assume that there are twelve
homicides in state when capital pun
ishment was inflicted. Thus at least
"a lives have been taken. The twelve
who were slain and the twelve who
were hanged. But capital punfShme nt
is abolished and the number of homi-
cides increase to "a. But nobody is
hanged. No lives are saved, but the
state has the duty of maintaining "a
persons during their lives in some Pc
nal institution.
This is the whole case If capital
punishment is justiha.ble, it is because
it decreases the offense for which it
is imposed believe the death pen
atty does prevent capital crimes.
wouldn't make any distinction because
the criminal is a woman.
