When the weight of market poultry can be increased on an average of more than three pounds per bird, at a cost of to 12 cents per pound, the advantage of condi- tioning poultry is apparent. Since the fattening increases the value of every pound, it will be realized that condition ing is highly profitable, Tn this article Professor Krum gives directions for fat tening poultry for market.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 6-(Special) ) The weakness in Europe was based on the belief that the decline here yester- day afternoon indicated a large ginners' report on Monday. Our market opened lower, slight rally followed and then Wall street became a heavy seller. being unwilling to await the ginners report and also influenced by the weakness in the stock market. Our local trade is very bearish, pointing to the small amount of cotton on shipboard for Great Britain and the great scarcity of freight room as a certain evidence that in the absence of export demand the southern holders of cotton would soon sell at lower prices. Or the other hand, this same small amount of cotton going to Liverpool has put the near deliveries there to a pre- mium over the distant ones. Tonight the feeling is more bearish than last week.

Cochins are one of the oldest breeds of poultry. They are descended from fowls imported from Asia between 1Sio and 1S50 known as Shanghais, Malays and Chit tagongs--from which the Brahmas also were developed.
 There are Black, White and Partridge Cochins, all sprung from the Buff variety. Formerly the Buff Cochin frequently had dark colored features in the wings and tails of both sexes and on the necks of tho hens, but this defect has been over come and Buff Coohins are now bred to a soft. uniform shade of buff all over, the males matching the females in color.
 The Cochins' massiveness, long foot feathering and lordly stride make them imposing fowls. They are bred for ex- cessive length and softness of feathers ir all sections. This gives the fowl big sound. soft appearance. It is probable

that the English breeders have made even greater headway in this respect than the Americans although the Amerlcan-bred bird is bred to much more even and softer golden bum color First-class spec linens bring high prices
 The Buff Cochin is bred chiefly for fancy. Its utilitarian qualities have been preserved in the American breeds, of which it was one of the ancestors.
 Buff Cochins arc good backyard fowls. They thrive in confinement and can bo restrained by low fence. Their buff plumage does not soil as readily as white. and the fowls will respond to intensive feeding methods. They lay large, brown eggs, and the hens are usually good set ters and mothers. The chicks are rugged and hardy and grow fast, but take longer to mature than any of the American va rieties The males weigh from 10 to 15 pounds. and the females from eight to 10 pounds. Their flesh is of unusual quality.

I'm THE first place. judges should be appointed,

the belle. Of seventy years ago that all Of
fcers ought to be elected by the people. The wide
spread demand for a short ballot cogently shows
that the people becoming convinced that the
best government concentrates responsibility in a
few elective officials with extensive power of ap-
pointment The direct primary law brings the
evils of the elective system into high relief. Il
necessitates a campaign for nomination from
which a high minded lawyer might well shrink.
Where justices are elected in large districts or
by vote Of the state the expense becomes almost
prohibitive, unless the candidate has ample means
invokes the aid OF those who have-thus lay
ing himself under obligations from which judi
cial officer, above all others, ought TO be free
Few Of the older and more conservative states
yielded to the impulse TO elect judges, and some
which did so have abandoned it and returned to
appointment. In this state the best judges come
from appointment by the Governor when vacan-
cies are filled. A Governor would hardly dare to
appoint nOtoriously unfit man for judicial Of

sufficiently influential individuals or private in

self nomination or nomination by ones friends
which is not conducive to the choice Of the best

The normal function Of the voter is to decide

7 TNTYING the hands of the Legislature with
reference to the enactment Of labor laws
will be one Of the most important tasks Of
the Constitutional Convention. That the legis-
lstive power is now unduly restricted in this field
has been shown repeatedly. The most recent IL
lustration the unanimous decision in the Ives
case that the Wainwright compensation act was
unconstitutional
An important question for TIE convention to
decide Is whether or not the method OF widening
the constitutional powers Of the Legislature adopt
ed In that instance is the best method TO apply
to all similar limitations That method was to
declare that nothing in the constitution should
be interpreted to limit the power OF the Legis-
lature regards compensation legislation Sim-
lar provisions might be inserted to the effect that
nothing in the constitution shall be interpreted
to limit the powers Of the Legislature to re-
strict the hours of employment of men or women,
to prescribe minimum rates OF wages or to en-
act other legislation designed to promote the

-HE COMPOSITION Of the Constitutional
Convention Of 1915 is Just cause for con-
graduation. The delegates who have been
selected include a considerable number OF
men who rank very high in the estimation Of the
people Of the state, and who Will certainly bring
TO the discharge Of their delicate and important
dutie, wisdom. sagscity and good judgment as
well as broad human sympathy and willingness
to face new problems frankly and justly.
The most important thing about the work Of
constitutional convention is its point Of view and
IL. understanding Of what constitution is and
implies A comparison Of the present Constitu-
tion OF the State Of New York with the Constitu-
tiop Of the United States will at once reveal both
the points of similarity between the national and
a state constitution and the points Of difference
h..ue.n them. Probably the Constitution OF the
State Of New York could be reduced in length
without disadvantage by leaving TO the Legislature
c,rtsin matters Of detail that are now provided
for by the constitution itself, bat 1t would in no
wise b. practicable to bring the Constitution OF
the State of New York down 20 the significantly
brief limits Of the Constitution of the United

NAL charges as a condition precedent. II the Gov
ernor should withhold approval, the two houses
should have power-smilar TO that exercised
when the Governor vetoes a bil--of removing the
Judge despite the Governor but In that case by
two-thirds or three-fourths vote II reasons
for the removal exist, and they have been con-
sidered, and the judge has had fair hearing,
that should be enough. | am inclined to think
that once the judge ceases to be elective, the
prejudice against removal which springs from the
feeling that he is the chosen servant Of the peo-
pie would also disappear. Records might well be
kept of the conduct of judges, especially Of their
partisan activities abuse of patronage, and tho
removing power should be free to act upon its
own initiative. It might be set in motion at the
instance of bar association. Judicial indepen-
dence does not require complete immunity from
removal. The judge must never be free Of the
risk Of being promptly unseated if incompetent
corrupt.
While political principle is now more firm
IL settled than that judges should not participate
in law making they should, nevertheless have ex-
elusive authority to make, repeal and modify all
rules of court practice and all the purely pro-
cedural regulations now contained in the Code Of
Civil Procedure. An analogy Is to be found in the
power exercised by the Justices OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States TO make rules in equity
cases, and bills now pending before Congress
to cothe them with similar power in common
law and other cases. The control should be judi
cial, not legislative. BY Of long experience
and wide knowledge the judges have become ex-
perts in matters of procedure. The ordinary leg
islator is not an expert. The common way of
obtaining code amendments is haphazard, the in
centive often being private, not public, bene-
fit. Unless the utmost vigilance is practsed by
the code committees at Albany, By members Of
the Legislature and by the Governor his legal
adviser amendments, badly phrased and undesIra
bic per Sc, likely TO find their way into the
code The time consumed by the Legislature and
its committees in work Of this sort should be
devoted to matters of general public welfare
