The residence of Mr.. w. Henry,

GOT TIPS FOR MARYLANQ
immigration Secretary Studies
Methods in Canada.

John A. Tschantre, secretary ef
the State Board of immigration .has
just returned after an extended
trip through Canada and the North
western States. He accompanied
Clement S. Ticker, director of esolo-
nization Of the Southern Settlement
and Development Organization, of
which S. Davies Warfield, of Bal
timore, is president. Mr. Ticker is
making a study of the immigration
problem in the United States and
Canada, with the intention later of
applying the information to the up
building of the Southern States
The trip covered the better part
of four weeks and took in the prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, AL
berta and British Columbia, and
the States of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and
Minnesota.
Mr.. Tschantre expressed his adj
miration for the aggressive spirit
manifested in the advertising cam
paigns of agencies who are inter
ested in bringing settlers to Cana
ia, but he says that the Cana
dian proposition is more attractive
on paper than in the actual realiza-
ton. There are many drawbacks.
The winters are hard and severe;
the country is practically one
crop country, and failure of this
one staple crop means disaster; all
the necessities of life are extreme
ly dear, fuel especially; they are
far removed from the markets and
the freight charges are eXorbitant.
He asserts that Maryland offers
just as great, if not greater adj
vantages, and none of the draw
backs connected with the Canadian
situation. There is. of course, not
the element of help held out in the
Maryland situation that is offered
by the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
or even by the Canadian Govern
ment. What is needed, especially
in Maryland, he says, is some meth
cd by which the earnest seeker af-
ter farm lands shall have an oppor-
tunity to acquire the same through
financial aid through small pay
ments at small rate of interest.
Mr. Tschantre says that if Mary
those who would settle and develop
her agricultural lands, it must be
done through an energetic cam
paign, with a greater appropriation
by the State.

Not a Tax Against New York.

Whatever basis of justice there is
to Senator Roots plea for reducing the
income tax from $4,000 to 81, 1000, his
argument is not strengthened by his
charge that the bill In effect is legis-
lation by the south and west against
the east.
No doubt an exemption of only ST.
600 would tend to perpetuate pa
triotism snd loyalty to the gov
eminent by requiring a slight sac
rifce In return for citizenship" But
only in a figurative sense is it true
that the measure in its existing form
thrusts the burden of taxation on a
few eastern states. The great for
tunes of New York are not New
York's fortunes in the meaning that
they are the accumulations Of New
York and New York indus
try. They are national fortunes. the
sources of which are the mines and
mills and oil wells and railways as
well as the cotton and wheat fields
Of other states. The Rockefeller and
Carnegie and Prick fortunes were hot
amassed in New York, and of thou.
sands OF lesser fortunes 1t is equally
true that they are New York fortunes
only in the sense that this city has
become their place Of distribution by
the preference of their ~possessors for
residence here.
Taxing incomes from such accumu.
lations Is not discriminatory merely
because the a is paid in New York
or Boston. 1t is equitable tax on
wealth the origin Of which in the ag-
gregate is national, and as such prop
erty subject to taxation for national
uses,-New York World (Dem.).

S~paringly for Three Days.

Prepare a portable pen by nailin'

The whole should be made large
enough for ample accommodations,

to be kept in. Only fowls that are
p~eaceable should be kept together.
Do not overfeed at first: after two
or three days give all that they will
eat up clean. and be sure to give wa

TWO SIDES TO CASE
Does All New England Demand

Rather Hard for the Average Person
to See How It Has Greatly Bene-

Senator Gallinger Of New Hamp

much length and in as many different

In the Journals opinion. the chief
need of the American merchant ma

grow. The tariff levies toll on mate
rails used in ship building; which
adds to the cost of American-built
vessels. Foreign built ships, with
few exceptions, are denied American

bounties have turned the attention of
American capital to manufacturing
rather than to foreign commerce.

STAPLE FOOD FOR POULTRY
Grain viii Be Used as Long az Fowls
Are Kept on Farms-Hen Must
Have Certain Varieties,

Grain rs the staple food for poultry.
will be used for that purpose as long
as fowls are kept on farms; but hens
cannot give good results on grain
alone. 1t is beneficial to them, and
will be at all times relished, but the
demands Of the hen are such as to
call tor a variety. In the shells of
eggs, as well as their composition, are
several forms Of mineral matter and
nitrogen. which can only be partially
obtained from grain.
Even though grains carry in COM
position for a long time, hens will be-
gin to refuse it, as they may be over
supplied from other sources. For this
reason they will accept a change Of
food which is Of itself evidence that
the best results for his hens can only
be obtained from a variety of food.
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage, but must be given
as a portion Of the ration only, and
not made exclusive articles Of diet.
In grain the principle articles or ele.
ments required to keep a hen in good
laying condition are found, and it is
for this reason that your hens may
continue to lay for some time il only
given grain, provided they find the
other elements necessary while run
ming around the farm. But the trou-
BILE with this manner of feeding is
that it is too uncertain.
You are taking the CHARGE of the
hen finding the ether elements re-
quired. No hen has ever laid an egg
unless she has taken into her system
elements from the vegetable, animal
and mineral kingdoms. Grain can re-
present the vegetable kingdom, bugs
or insects, the animal, and grit or
oyster shell, the mineral. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that every hen par
take of these elements before she can
produce a single egg.
