Lewis, who desired to be president pro tenn. there seems to be certain force in the contention that it's utilitaran aspect is to limited extent at least contaminated with a spirit Of retaliation. At any rate, It VIII very probably be demonstrated within the next few days whether that report emanating from Birmingham that 3S members of the legislature are employees or the power company is true or false. This report as is remembered, was denied through The Age-Herald by Thomas w. Martin, general counsel for the company
 Senate Becomes "Panicy''
 There can be no gainsaying the fact that the introduction of the resolution threw the senate into panic. It caused several members to rise spontaneously to their feet with argument against it's immediate consideration. It resulted in a basty assemblage of the members of the rules committee. It resulted m a recess of the senate, and formal sitting of the rules committee. And then after a period the senate reconvened and the

The NOBLE RHODE ISLAND REDS
By J. H. MeFAUL. Jr.
(-4H Rights Rese,ved0

This noble and highly profitable bird is
bred in two varieties, the single comb
and the rose or double comb. While
each variety has its own admirers, their
selection is only a matter of choice as
one is as good as the other in point of
usefulness. The difference in comb
characteristics distinguishes the variety,
while type makes the breed, and both
are of identically the same type.
This handsome, as well as useful and
profitable bird, is now firmly established
as one of the finest of general utility
fowls. That this assertion is true, is
manifested by visits to all the big shows
throughout the country where they are
exhibited in large numbers. They are
fast taking the place of the Barred
Rocks, which for years enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the king of the utility
class.
The Reds are better layers than the
Rocks, and while not quite as large, are
still of excellent size for table purposes
and will consume less feed than will the
latter type All of which goes toward
making them the one best for utility
where both eggs and meat
are desired.
In closing, let me say that this beau
tiful bird is hereby highly recommended
to our readers as both useful and prof
table fowl aud one from which large |
profits are possible.

NATION.W PROHIBITION

The goal to all temperance effort
should be nationwide prohibition. The
rescuing of an individual here and there
and the banishing of saloons from COM
munities great and worthy ends though
they are, they should rather augment
than diminish exertion looking toward
the speedy prohibition of the liquor
traffic. And the day has come when
definate and distinct work can be done
by the individual toward this very
worthy and ultimate object To be
sure the professional politician would
have him confne all his plan and effort
to his neighborhood and then not to an
tagonize the outlines of procedure per-
scribed by certain bosses living miles
away. But whatever may be the hints
or mandates of the few the duty and
the privilege of every well-wisher of his
country remain very clear and they are
to do his utmost for the effectual nation
al prohibition of the liquor traffic at the
earliest possible date. 1t may be asked
what can the individual do for the ac-
complishment of that end? Does not
the local work afford more opportunities
though the end is not so great? We
answer there are opportunities in the
larger and better work if we only look
for them. Every one can scatter liter
ature urging nationwide prohibition.
Every voter at least should forward pc
titions to legislators and congressman
urging their vote and support of nat
ional prohibition bill-they should also
petition delegates to the coming national
convention urging support and vote for
candidates favoring unequivocally nat
ional prohibition-thatt they will by work |
and vote seek Endorsement of that vital
issue in the national platforms.

Poultry Pointers

AS an aid to digestion it will be well
to feed the birds a little asafoetidae
and gentian. Ginger, while used by
many poultrymen, should not be given
to the fowls (at least, but seldom) as it
tends to weaken the digestive organs.
Garlic and onions are also excellent for
chickens if fed in small quantities.

System is by far the greatest thing
about the poultry plant. Any business
run without a system will eventually be
a failure, and this applies to the breed
ing and raising of poultry as to any
other. Hens need care and attention,
which should be given by a good system.
Your part done, and done properly, and
you need have no fear that the hens
will neglect theirs.
Milford chronicle., 1915-11-19

Pullets are more desirable for winter
production than old hens, provided they
are fully matured in time to begin oper-
alton before the heavy weather sets in.
1t is not advisable, however, to use the
pullets as breeders, therefore a suffi-
cient number of older birds, which are
good ones, should be kept over for use
in the breeding pens.

colds get hold on them, in which case

birds is in jeopardy. Go to the coop each
