cratic legislators voted at the beck Of
the whiskey ring for a Republican.
By agreeing to abandon the temper
ance cause for which he had stood,
Beckham could have won; but he re-
fused to trade-once more showing
his courage and his devotion to prin-
ciple.
In my opinion, gained after a jour
ney last summer through Kentucky,
that sacrifice of Beckham for a prin-
States senator from Kentucky as sure
ly as it defeated him then. If there is
anything in political justice, if there
is any atonement for political wrongs,
if a people are not ungrateful or in
different, Beckham will be rewarded.
tory is not always the true test of an
honest and righteous cause" he said
in public speech after his defeat in
1908; success may have it's pleasures,
but failure may have it's honor"
And let me add that, whether you
believe in prohibition, or in the en-
forcement of the law, or whether you
side with the liquor interests in Ken
lucky, the whiskey ring of that state
has exercised more political power of
late years in the state than all other
corporations put together; and it is
far more violent and autocratic.
If he should go to the senate, he will
add to the dignity and the worth of
that body. He is one whom the coun-
try at large will welcome to the coun-
ellis of the nation. No man in Ken
lucky is hardy enough to question his
integrity. The charge has been made
that, since his return to the practice
of law, his law firm has acted as local
attorneys for the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad. Whoever his client, he
is of that type of lawyer whose con-
victiOns are not for sale with his serv-
ices. His popularity is based largely
upon his integrity, and he is the most
popular man in Kentucky.

The shade, green food, bugs. worms.
grasshoppers, etc, are much moro
conductive to g rapid. healthful
growth than are the conditions usually
found around the dooryard.
So far as possible yarding should be
dispensed with. Yard fences are not
only expensive but also restrict the
proper handling Of the ground sur
rounding the poultry house. With the
commercial poultry man, however.
yards are more or less necessary. The
actual yard space required per bird
will depend upon the care and atten-
ton given and upon the nature OF the
soil In general the care is Increased
in proportion to the numbers OF blrds
kept on given area, SO that from the
standpoint OF economy Of labor yard
space should be liberal. Under aver
age conditions $50 square rect Should
be allowed for each bird. Sandy soil
is the most suitable for poultry pas
lures since it dries off quickly and
readily takes up the droppings and
filth A sandy soil is desirable also
| because of the ease with which il may
| be cultivated. Two sets of yards
should be provided so that the blrds
may be given the run of one while
| the other is being refreshed by cult
vation and cropping.
| Double Yards or runs on both sides
| Of the house, one or when can De
reseeded while the other is occupied,
| is the most desirable arrangement
The garden may be made In one OF
these yards alternate years, practice
not only conductive to healthful con-
ditions, but economical OF yard space
and the fertility furnished by the
fowls. When double yards are used
every other yard fence may be
omitted. making a yard for each pen
and affording yard OF douole SIZE ~
for the more efficient handling OF the
reseeding work.
Colony houses need very little yard
fencing although fences are often used

1t has the advantage, however, of un-
limited yard space and yard fencing
can be quite largely eliminated. Often
the poultry can be permitted the
range of fields after crops are start
ed, without appreciable injury to the
crop, utilizing to good advantage the
droppings which would otherwise go
to waste. In some localities worthless
land has been brought to a high state
or fertility by this practice.
The most healthful and economical
method of raising the young chickens
is the portable house system. The
houses are moved about the farm in
such places as orchards, farm lanes,
cornfields, wheat and barley fields
after the grain has been removed.
