John D. Rockefeller.

SUFFRA6E-PRO AND CON
Con-.

A recent scandal in Seattle, Washing ton, offers one more illustration of the tendency of Woman Suffrage to lead to non- enforcement of the laws. Some years ago, while Washington was a male suffrage state, law was passed prohibiting prize-fghts During the past few months, however, the Seattle authorities have winked at this law and pugilism has been fiourishing. One of these illegal contests has just ended fatally. The defeated prize. fighter was so severely injured that he died in conseqeunce. His death will probably put an end to the "boxing game" for the time being, but one naturally asks, why did public officials elected where woman vote allow this "game" to be carried on at all The answer is that Woman Suffrage in. creases tremendously the proportion of stay y-at-home voters and thus enables the undesirable element, which always gets out its vote, to gain control.
 In this connection Dr. Helen L. Sum mer, suffragist, says, "In Denver the social evil is more brazenly open and more extensive than in almost any other city," and that "It is impossible to see that Equal Suffrage has had any "effect" upon it. Press Chairman.

Convenience of Truth.

Truth is always consistent with itself and needs nothing to help it out; it Is always near at hand and sits upon our lips and is ready to drop out before We are aware, whereas q lie is trouble some and sets mans invention upon the rack, and one trick needs a great many more to make it good. The crafty man is always in danger, and when he thinks he walks in the dark all his pretenses are so transparent that he that runs may read them. He is the last man that finds himself to be found out, and. while he takes it for granted that he makes fools of others. he makes himself ridiculous.-I John Til lOtSOn.

Miduet Poets.

Philetus, the poet, who died in 2SC B. C., was so small that he wore lead blown away by the wind or. according to another account, carried weights in his pockets for the same purpose. With him compare AristratOs, another poet, who was so small that Athenaeos says no one could see him. Nicephorus Ca listus speaks with airy indefniteness of an Egyptian dwarf not bigger than a partridge. Andromeda, one of Julia s free maids, was only four inches over two feet.

to a pond of water in the spring, al
most every egg will be fertile. The
sooner the eggs are set after they
are laid the better they will hatch.
We set the eggs under hens giving
seven eggs to each hen. II the
weather is very dry we mofsten the
eggs with lukewarm water about the
middle OF the hatch and again day
or two before they are due to hatch.
We nearly always have good luck
Matching the eggs, says = writer in an
exchange.
We give the goslings their first
feed and water when they are forty
eight hours old. The water should be
kept before them all the time in some
thing that they can drink out Of cas-
lily. but cant get into. We keep green
feed such as lettuce, mustard or
tender grass before them all the
time, and give them bread moistened
with milk, pot cheese or wet corn
meal, three times day until they are
three weeks old. After this we give
them good feed of wet corn meal
every night and morning and all the
green feed they will eat until they
are about seven weeks old. Then they
are turned out in the pasture or In a
rape patch and do not receive any
more grain until fall. The goslings do
not need pond Of water to swim In.

Sale Of Dressed Pou'try-AdVer-
tise All Of Your Products.

When shipping dressed poultry to
market. all the whims and fancies OF
the trade must be catered to. Appear
ance has much to do with the sale. A
neatly dressed. plump carcass, free
from pin feathers. at once attracts the
attention of the buyer.
It is good idea to tag each carcass,
and on this tag advertise the name
and address Of the farm that produced
the carcass. It will lead people to
call for your goods. r.. :
Yellow skin and flesh do not nee
essarily denote quality of flesh, but
the market calls for such. and it is
up to the poulterer to produce it. A
full breast, broad back and plump
body gives the ideal appearance

r. Variation Is Likely.

So many inquiries have been re-
ceived relative to the period Of gesta-
ton for common farm animals that we
give the following bfief statement Of
the approximate periods: Mares.
II months; COW, 1856 days; sheep, 5
months; goats, 5 months; SOW, 4
months: dog, GO days; cat. SO days:
rabbit, 80 days; squirrel, % days; rat,

81 to SO days; ducks, "a to 26, days;
hen. 10 to "a days; canary birds. 10 to
IA days. =, Fy il .', Co., -.
1t must be remembered that the
above figures are only approximate
and that considerable variation will be
experienced. For example, a record Of
764 cows showed a shortest period of
220 days and a longest period Of 313
days, with an average of 2S5 days. ~
&. A record Of rs sows showed ex-
tremes of 100 and 1923 days while rec
ord of another ten sows showed
periods varying from 101 to 116 days.
The age, breed, condition, care and
feed Of animals affect the length Of
their period of CESSATION.
