PROFIT BY GOOD CARE
Poultry on the Farm Receives
Indifferent Treatment.
Close Watch Should Be Kept on Busl-
ness All Round and Every Com
fort Provided TO Prevent All
Infectious Disease.
By r. @. wEATHERsToNE.)

10Y II. VI. w
No matter how good the stock may
be IL they have not the proper care
they will pay you no better than mon
grels. Poultry on the farm, as rule,
receives Indifferent treatment.
What does care" mean? 1t means
a close watch on the business all
round. 1t provides every comfort,
prevents disease by keeping the prem
Uses perfectly clean, never overcrowds,
and keeps the fowls busy, sorts out
the drones and gives the workers bet
ter attention. In short, care" means
using business principles in every
sense OF the word.
The farmer Is not giving the proper
care when he allows his fowls to roost
on trees, in wagons, wagon sheds, or
on the board fences. The proper care
is not given IL the appetites and con-
ditions of the fowls are not studied.
System and regularity play an inn
portant part in care. Economy in
labor, the saving of steps, the saving
of muscles, the saving of time-all are
important.
Shiftlessness causes expensive ex-
periences. There is sure to be profit
in anything we take care of. Success
is accorded TO management. FRONTS
depend upon the quality and quantity
of brain work put into the enterprise.
If a man performs his work in a
mechanical way he will not be apt
to do it we'll. There are too many
who go by luck" They do not stop
to think. They do not take notice OF
the little matters. They are always
hurrying to get done.
1t is said quality makes prices, but
it costs considerable labor and brains
to make quality. Good management
curtails expense. Successful poultry
men use good common sense methods,
some others but little method, and
alas, some not any method at all.
Hard luck is generally brought
about by mismanagement. Disorder
creates disgust. Study and care, and
not luck and big talk, are the elements
of success.
To quote Judge Brown: There are
too many poultrymen who let their
enthusiasm go down as the mercury in
the thermometer goes up or down.
The men who make the marked sue
cess in poultry raising are those
who never flag In their attention
those who know that the increased
labor and close attention hot weather
brings must be religiously observed,
the same being the case when the
cold weather is with us. 1t is the
man or woman behind the hen rather
than the breed that brings success.
Scrub treatment will bring about
scrub results. The best paying breed
is the one that is best cared for. Zeal
in the prosecution OF the work should
be the characteristic Of every poultry
| breeder
In conclusion, it must not. be for
gotten that success depends on man
agement Business attention given &c
flock of properly housed hens would
be revelation to many, especially tC
the farmers themselves.

Failure to get a good stand OF
strawberries may often be traced to
neglect of the plants when they ar
rived from the nursery, as plants ar
irving in perfect condition may be
ruined by careless handling before
planting.
Packages of strawberry plants
should be opened as soon as received,
and the plants 'heeled-in" by being set

being taken that the crowns are not
covered nor the upper parts of the
roots exposed. Plants may be kept in
this way for some time without being
injured. Varieties should be labeled
properly.

and It certainly is an advantage TO
the state With those corrections l
have no objection to the Democrats
making such use of the statement
here quoted as they may see fit.
Truth About State Expenses.
What are the facts about state
expenses and general taxation in Wis
consin? During this ten-year period
the state gave back to the people all
the money that it took from them in
direct taxes and almost two million
dollars more. And this Is the record,
fellow citizens, not of one year or
few years but of decade 1t illus
trates the general rule in Wisconsin
that the state government is main
tanned, as to expenditure of money
for state purposes, by taxes laid on
corporations and inheritances and by
fees and charges for services rem
dered by the state, and not at all by
general property taxation.
Democratic Promises of Economy.
ITO this rule the year 1913 did
not conform for reasons that are
now quite we'll understood.
"But this year state taxes will
again be normal. Again all the state
money raised by general taxation
will be returned to it's various local
subdivisions for purely local dis
bursement and use and In addition
many thousands OF dollars more.
Proper management of the finan-
cial affairs of a great state such as
ours is an intricate and difficult mat
ter. However careful one may plan
to be, occasionally there will be slips
and plumbers such as occurred last
year. But nothing in the world Is
easier than to promise economy.
Especially for the candidate who is
out of Office and who wants to get in,
this is an inviting field. All the
equipment he needs in times like
these Is vivid imagination, an elias
tic conscience and knowledge that the
pocketbook Is the most sensitive spot
in human anatomy. So rugged out
he may set about his task. He may
persfstentfy and picturesquely ar
raign the party in power for waste
fulness and extravaganza and prom

ISSUES WARNING
TO ALL CITIZENS
RETURN TO REPUBLICAN RULE
WILL RESTORE BUSINESS
AND EMPLOYMENT.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY FAILS
Chairman kietzsch Shows Way for
Restoration OF Prosperous
Conditions.

Milwaukee, Oct. 28.-On the eve
of election Alvin P. Kletzsch, chair
man of the Republican State Central
committee, has issued the following
warning to all citizens.
Let every citizen, no matter what
his politics, take warning.
Under present Democratic rule
business has Jagged, plants have shut
down, throwing over 100000 work
ers out Of employment, and, if Demo
Gratis stay in power, the prospect for
improved conditions Is far from as
surfing
Economy Cry Vote Catcher.
"The Underwood tariff law, perpe-
trated by the present Democratic ad
ministration, has caused business tc
lag, plants to close and has thrown
men and women out of work. The
annual wage loss alone, caused by
Democratic rule, is over $4,000, 0OO,-
10000 a year.
1.-THE present Democratic admins
tration at Washington has shown
that the Democratic cry of economy
was simply raised to catch votes.
''The present Democratic admins
tration at Washington has proved the
most costly the government has ex-
perienced in all it's history.
mo session of congress in the en-
tire history of the country has been
as costly, or as long, as the last ses-
sion of congress- Democratic con-
gress. 1t was more costly than the
session of congress during the Span
ish-American war.
"War Tax a Deficit Tax.
Revenues have SO fallen off under
Democratic rule, caused chiefly by
the direful Underwood tariff law,
that the Democratic administration
has been compelled to levy tax of
S104, 100000 to meet deficit and pay
the running expenses of the govern
ment. They call this burden upon
the people a war tax although the
United States is at peace with all the
world.
What is the conclusion?
cit is simply this: While Demo
Gratis are bold critics, they are wholly
untitled to rule. This fact has beer
demonstrated every time they have
been in power, but never with such
force as it is being demonstrated at
the present time.
What is the remedy?
"Vote the Republican Ticket"
''The immediate remedy is the cleo
ton of a Republican congress, SO
that the Underwood tariff law may be
wiped off the nations law books; sc
that protective tariff measures may
be restored in effect; SO that Repub-
licans may stop short Democratic
misrule, restore business and send
workers back to their employment.
1.-The splendid record of the Repub-
lican party in the nation and in the
state points to this party as the one
to rule.
elect Republican congressman
everywhere. Elect Republican can
didates everywhere, and the econom-
ic ills we feel now will soon fade.
"Let every voter in Wisconsin re

motto:
