THE SENATORIAL
CAMPAIGN.

campaign ever waged in Tennessee
will end Saturday with all indica.
tions pointing to Luke Lea as the
Democratic nominee to succeed him.
self in the United States Senate
The vigOr with which he has prose
cuted the campaign, covering prac-
tically the entire state in an unpre-
cedentedly short time, has been a
matter of surprise to his friends and
of CONSERVATION to his enemies.
The plan was arranged by the pri-
mary board, under the control of
LEAFS enemies, with the deliberate
purpose of making LEAFS defeat in
evitable. Senator LEAFS time had
been fully taken up with his sena-
torial duties. He has not had the
opportunity of thoroughly travelling
over the state and meeting the rank
and file of the voters. The primary
was fixed for date which gave him
only sixty days to make his convass
During that very brief time, SEN
ator Lea will have covered by No
vember 20, ninety of the ninety-six
counties of the state and has prob
ably spoken to and personally met
more voters than any other candi-
date who ever canvaSsed the state.
He has made from two to six
speeches day, preaching the doc
frine of Democracy, unterrified and
undefiled. He has been received
everywhere he has gone as the re-
storer of harmony to the Democratic
party in Tennessee as the man who,
when Patterson had wrecked the
party and fled from the ruin he had
wrought, took up the task that
others regarded as impossible and a
year ago brought Tennessee Demo-
cracy out of the wilderness united
and victorious.
The enthusiastic support given
Senator Lea by the leaders of both
the former factions in the party is
remarkable. Notable among the in
dependent leaders who are actively
engaged in Senator LEAFS behalf in
this campaign are former United
States Senator Webb, Hon. Newt
White, Former Speaker of the State |
Senate, Judge Sam M. Young; Judge |
Sam Holding and James A. Tate. |
Among the equally prominent regu-
lars who are giving him active and
earnest support are Col. Joel B. Fort,
Judge w. P. Cooper, Speaker of the |
Lower House in the last general as
sembly; Former Congressman Rice
A. Pierce, Col. L. d. Tyson and many /
others.
Senator Lea has grown steadily
stronger from the first day of the
to the present. His man.
ayers, as well as his friends through
out the state are confident that he
will receive clear majority over
both his competitors on November

Treatment.
There Is no effective cure for poul-
try cholera. Sometimes the disease
may be retarded by giving a dose of
onethird of a teaspoonful of EPSON
salts mixed in a mash, or a table
spoonful of olive oil. or one teaspoon
full OF castor oil followed by disolv-
ing one-tenth OF a grain of mercuric
bichloride in a quart of drinking
water. A few drops of creolin in a
quart Of water is also considered
beneficial.
Prevention.
This is the only e "a Of saving
many of the flock. The birds should
be watched closely and all those
showing any sign of the disease
should be removed at once, killed
and burned. Avoid bringing in new
c%ontagion and take active steps to
destroy all germs by burning the lit
ter and dosing the house and yard
with a strong coal tar disinfectant
The yard should be plowed deeply
and s~prinkled with Stacked lime. II
possible, remove the healthy birds to
clean quarters, putting a few in a
place and the groups widely sepa-
rated. An orchard or back field may
be utilized for this purpose, but the
birds should be well fed and care
fully watched. Even the suspected
cases should be isolated from the
flock.
1t is most fortunate that epidemics
Of true cholera are rare among poul-
try as 1t is a very disastrous disease.
Where proper care is exercised to
keep the birds clean and healthy
there is little danger. except when
it appears in a district.

Yolk, While Beef Scraps lmpart
Firmness to White.

It Is. perhaps, not generally known
that the quality of eggs is dependent
In a large measure upon the food the
hens eat. In eggs of high quality the
yolk is a deep yellow color, and the
white quite firm, not thin and watery.
The feeding Of green food and corn
preferably yellow CORN will add to
the color of the yolk, and beef scrap
will impart irmness to the white.
AS certain foods will add quality to
the egg certain other foods will i'm
part a favor that decreases the quality
of the eggs. Thus onions, fish scrap
and highsmelling beef scrap will i'm
part to the eggs certain character
istic and disagreeable fayors.
Odors also lower the quality of
eggs. Esg-shells are very porous and
gathered often and stored in a cool,
well-ventilated room. II allowed to
remain in a foulsmelling poultry house
for any length Of time. the odors of
the house will lower the quality of
the eggs.
1t is safe to say that eggs of the
very highest quality are not possible
unless the male birds are removed
from the pens. The embryo Of a fer
tile egg often begins to develop be-
fore the egg is laid, and no matter
how often gathered or how well cared
for, fertile eggs cannot compare in
quality with infertile ones. The germ
nf lffa to 4ha onryo ~ I1,, L. l..
fertile egg will decrease in quality
with age, or through improper han
ding. but 1t cannot decay.

Nothing Yet Found That Answers
Purpose as Well as Beef Scraps
Produce Stronger Chicks.

The modern hen. the bird we are
forcing to lay more eggs each year,
has developed into sort of an egg ma
chine. Part of the food she eats goes
to make blood and bone and muscle
for her own body. The rest OF the
food, II it is OF the right sort, goes
to make eggs.
But the best hen in the world can't
make eggs from the air. The eggs a
hen lays come directly from the food
she eats.
Since it is not possible to furnish
bugs and worms such as the hens find
for themselves, we must look for a
good substitute. Up to the present
time nothing has been found that
answers so well as beef scrap.
The beef scrap must be absolutely
sweet and pure, or trouble is sure to
follow.
This is especially true in the breed
ing season, when It is necessary not
only to get eggs, but eggs that will
hatch well. It has been found that
eggs laid by hens that have been fed
beef scrap not only hatch better than
those laid by hens that have not been
fed any animal food, but they also
produce stronger chicks.

AMOUNT OF FEED CONSUMED
Quantity Eaten by Hen In Year and
Cost Given by Maine Expert
ment Station.

The question as to the amount OF
feed a hen will eat is best answered
by the following interesting figures:
The Maine experiment station, in
the course Of recent tests extending
over a period OF one year, found that
a hen in this time consumed 80 pounds
OF grain and meal mixture, 40 pounds
of oyster shell, "a pounds of bone. 2
pounds Of grit. "a pounds of charcoal
and 10 pounds Of clover. These ma.
terials cost the station $1.45. This is
about the average cost per hen for
most poultrymen, although we havo
met people who have done even bet.
ter than this. 1t is perhaps higher
than the average farmer pays to feed
his hens. but 1t is a fair estimate for
those who raise chickens as a bust
ness.
