MR.. BRYANS
RECENT STATEMENT.
assertion

Secretary Bryan's assertion
that he is unable to keep up the dig.
nifty of his position on twelve thous,
and dollars year is causing consid.
cradle comment, mostly from his po-
litical enemies, however. 1t is unfor
tunate that Mr.. Bryan made such &
statement, as the rank and file of this
world will never be able to see how
the great Commoner cannot save
money on such an income.
Cartoons have begun to appear or
the secretary, some of which are cal.
culated to make him cheap in the eyes
of many One paper pictures him as
an organ grinder. On the instrument
the letters 'Chautauqua' 'appear,whilc
monkey, on whose cap is the WORD
"Commoner" is holding a tin cup for
nickles.
We know comparatively nothing OF
the cost of keeping up the
position of Secretary of State
and will not question Mr.
Bryan assertion to the effct
that the emolument is insufficient for
him to hold the post without draw
ing upon his capital.
Mr.. Bryan ha! sheen in political
life long enough to have known some
thing about the cost of official life in
Washington, and he certainly should
have considered the cost before ac-
cepting position next to the Presi-
dency.
The late Ulysses S. Grant in his last
message to Congress alleged that he
had been unable to meet the expenses
of the White House out of his salary
of $4,000 a year, and recommended
that the salary of his successor be
made double that amount.
While $4,000 year may seem a
large salary for government official;
it may be said that the United States
pays less to those in power than most
European countries. The Gar of
Russia gets SS,OOO,O0O year, and
yet it is said he is always cromped
for money.

ABANDON THE
MONROE DOCTRINE
OR LIVE UP TO IT.

The Gazette has time after time
called attention to the policy of the
United States toward Mexico and the
danger from other nations demanding
protection for its citizens under the
provisions of the Monroe doctrine.
We have contended that unless that
policy is enforced it. is useless and
should be abandoned and the same
conclusion is being reached by many
who have given the subject the con-
sideration 1T deserves.
From Washington today come re-
ports which have very serious tone.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, thoroughly aroused and
alarmed by the demands Of Great
Britain that the United States bring
about peace in Mexico, sent posthaste
yesterday for Ambassador Wilson
from the City of Mexico.
The administration now knows that
England is not asking irrelevan,
questions about the recognition or
non-recognition of Huerta, but that
she is asking the United States to act
up to or abandon the Monroe Doctrine
as to Mexico. In other words, the Eu-
ropean nations, led and probably eg-
gcd on by Great Britain, demand that
United States make peace prompt
" in Mexico or let other nations cut
the Gordian knot of Mexican interna-
tional politics and policies.
The administration must realize hy
now that either this government has
not been kept informed of the inter
national plot going on in Mexico
City or that it has been misinformed
by some of its important agents in
Mexico City as to what was happen
ing under their very eyes.
Notwithstanding the positive
statements that Ambassador Wilson
has been called to Washington fol-
consultation with the President, it
is very we'll understood that ne was
coming for explanation, because of d
certainty The storm at Mexico City
burst on the State Department ant
The White House suddenly in all Its
dangerous Importance and potential
ties for protractcd trouble.
No one familiar wit hthe situation
expects Ambassador Wilson to g.
back to Mexico City as ambassador Of
the United States. 1t is: known tina
he has gotten along we'll wit hth'
Huerts'- government, both socially ant
otherwise, and as matter of fac
aside. from the himiest kind of techni
cality, Ambassador Wilson has recog
nized the Huerta government wheth
er the United States has recognized
or not. ,,.E.;

such unceasing vigilance and care is
needed. But a man can be the master
of his fate always; it is only a ques-
tion of work. The keeping of disease
out of flock resolves itself into
matter of cleanliness-tha is to say,
work. Rats and such like vermin,
which would soon put the lazy man
out of business, can be fought to a
stand still, but it means work. SO
with insect vermin which can be
dislodged by work, lots of it, but in
no other way. On a poultry ranch
the ground itself will soon get sick
unless the owner is worker. Let us
pause here then and recapitulate
what our friends should know before
he goes to chicken ranching. That
he must work, yes, must work like
the duce That much of his work
will be unpleasant unless he is the
sort of man who can find pleasure in
doing unpleasant things. Who can
find lots of things to think of, even
when cleaning manure from chicken
roosts, that give him that whistling
feeling. That his profits wont be as
much as be expected. That he will
need more money than he figured on,
a good deal more, and that he will be
longer getting started. That big
allowance must be made for accidents
of all kinds, some of them pretty
serious and expensive, and mighty
discouragng besides. But, that in
spite of all these things there's a
good chance for any fairly good man
in the poultry business, both to
make good money and to get a good
deal of pleasure and satisfaction out
of life. In this business there is. after
all is said and done. good big, wide
margin between the cost of produc
ton and the selling cost; SO big and
wide that any man who works hard
will make money in spite of inexper
fence and the various troubles and
pests and accidents.

dix comprises the Review of Weather
Condition, the names of the officers
of the agricultural college and exper
iment stations and state officials in
charge of agriculture, and value of
crops, of the number and value of
farm animals, of price of farm pro-
ducts at the farm and in the wholesale
market, of foreign trade in farm and
forest products, and of railroad rates
for the transportation of principal
farm products.
Beginning with the earliest years
for which statistics we're obtained,
tables are given exhibiting the acre
age, production, value, price, exports,
and imports of the corn crops of the
United States, and for all or most Of
the items mentioned, of the crops of
wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat
potatoes, cotton, tobacco, faxseed,
rice, and cane and beet sugar.
These statistics provide a great
variety of information for investiga
tors and workers in many lines of en-
deavor, and are original compilations
of crops and animals, their import
and export, for most of the countries
of the world.
The new volume should prove inter-
esting and helpful to persons inter
ested in agriculture as an occupation
or in it's products as the foundation
of the industry and commerce of the
world.

Other inquiries are informed in
answer on various questions asked

charcoal, but it should be of wood
and the fresher it is the better.
End. For white diarrhoea sulpo-
carbolate of zinc is recommended, 10
grains to each quart Of drinking
water. There are said to be several
good patent remedies-on the market.
3rd. My own experience goes to
show that cabbage is better green
food than kale for fall use and that
beets excel kale as a winter green
food.
4th. No doubt cross of Barred
Rock male on Leghorn females would
produce some good layers, in fact l
have seen just such a result Of that
very same cross; but why? The cross
breeds would hardly equal the pure
bred Leghorns as layers, even in the
first generation of the cross and they
would deteriorate all the time.
9Th. Leg weakness in young chicks
may be due to number of causes.
Over feeding or an excess of carbohy
drafts over proteids in the ration or
too severe change of temperature in
the brooders will cause it. Too long
confinement indoors when young is
sometimes the cause of this trouble.
The proper thing to do is to promptly
rectify such wrongful conditions as
have caused the trouble.

other stunts we'll nigh perpetual when
not transporting feed to the chickens,
one is mixing it or cooking it or
grinding it. Drinking vessels scatter
ed over a wide area must be kept fill
ed and even on we'll equipped place
good deal of the water must be
carried to it's destination in buckets.
And in between these little jobs come
some miles of tramping about the
place to see that nothing out of the
way is happening. Eternal vigilance
is the price of success with poultry
and from sunrise until we'll after sun
down there is not one minute of the
day that real poultry rancher has a
right to spend apart from his fowls
except the time needed for his meals.
This tension may be relaxed bit for
few months of the year after things
are we'll established and moving
smoothly, but the long months of
the Matching and brooding season
must be spent on the high gear. 1t

the various jobs of poultry raiser's

The form OF the Yearbook being
prescribed by law, there is little var
iation from year to year in its general
form and style. The report of the
secretary for the fiscal year 1912,
which occupies the first 259 pages, has
already appeared in separate form.
Twenty four special articles prepared
by direction of the secretary that re-
late to the subjects of general interest
which have received special consid-
Grafton during the year by experts in
the respective bureaus of the depart
ment, and have not heretofore been
published, will be issued as separates
or extracts, so as to make them avail
able for wide distribution to those
not securing copy Of the Yearbook.

exhaustive detail, as the articles are
