Colonel Roosevelt amid stirring and
tumultuous scenes.
Leaders made no attempt today to
minimize the gravity of the situation,
although there was generally ex-
pressed hope that a compromise could
be effected
On the one side was George w.
Perkins, financial angel Of the organ
ization, and William Flynn OF Pitts
burg, both of whom advocate the plac-
ing OF Justice Hughes at the head OF
the party ticket.
On the other side were John M. Par
ker, vice presidential nominee; Vic
tor Murdoch and DR.. E. M. Harris of
Rhode Island, all of whom are strong
ly opposed to any deals with the Re-
publicans that will embody a recog-
nization of Justice Hughes as the par
tvs candidate.
Perkins held conferences with vari-
Gus personages until far into the morn
ing Just what the results we're it was
impossible to ascertain, but it is be-
lieved that Perkins is prepared to Of
fer the committee plan the principal
features of which are that the organ
ization will be maintained and Justice
Hughes name be placed at the head
of the ticket.

SALT USED AS A FERTILIZER
Results of Experiments Noted in Re-
port Received by Department
of Agriculture.

Fertilizer experiments with beets
and turnips on variety of soils to
determine the extent to which COM
mon salt may be used as a substitute
for potash are noted in report re-
Gently received by the department of
agriculture. Common salt was used
at the rate of 425 pounds per acre and
a 81 pei cent potash salt at the rate
Of 175 pounds per acre.
The two salts gave practically the
same results with sugar beets, al
though neither materially increased
the yield. Turnips showed a smaller
potash requirement than sugar beets.
Where common salt was used in a
complete fertilizer mixture, increases
in crop yields were obtained. The
conclusion is reached that 81 per cent
potash salts may often be replaced by
common salt for fodder roots, beets
especially. 1t is also concluded that
increased yields produced by additions
OF potash salts are not due solely to
the fact that potassium is an essential
nutritive element.

FOWLS RELISH EARTHWORMS
Excellent Plan to Turn Over Some
Soil Each Day to Provide Hens
With Needed Food.

We know the hens are fond of
earthworms, and there are many NOR
sells Of food selected from fresh earth
by the hens; therefore it is a good
plan to turn some earth over in the
pen each day with a spade, says
writer In Farm and Home. This should
be done each morning as the earth
worms come to the surface each night,
then go back into the earth when the
sun comes up. Therefore the work
should be done between daylight and
sun-up. If 1t cannot be done at this
time some boards or an old door should
be laid on the ground where the dig
ging Is to be done. This protects the
worms so they remain near the sur
face. A space of soil three feet
square turned over each morning will
furnish 20 hens with fresh earth to
work in during the day, and by NOV
ing Systematically about the yard it
will prevent the soil from becoming
contaminated with disease.

else by jumping after It, but our ex-
perience is that when fed a moderate
amount OF clover or ground alfalfa
they have no taste for any other kind
of green food
Nothing equals cut clover for feed
ing the chickens Alfalfa comes next,
but clover stands Mt the head and if
this is fed regularly and in moderate
quantities it will take the place of
all other green feeds.
Wet versus dry mash is question
that has received much attention from
eXperimenters during the past few
years. The general consensus of
opinion ut the present time Is that the
dry mash is the most desirable. M0ny
practical poultrymen, however. still
prefer the wet mnsh. Labor Is one of
the greatest problems that the poultry
raiser has to consider, consequently, If
ne can find a method which will be
labor saving and yet give results, 1t Is
worthy Of consideration. Dry mash
fed in hoppCrs is easier to handle than
any kind of wet mash. Hoppers are
now made which are rat-pr0of, sani-
tary and convenient. These can be
filled once week and are found sat
iSfactory. Experiments have proved
that eggs produced by hens fed a dry
mash are more fertile than those laid
by hens fed II wet mash Wet mash is
slightly more forcing, is inconven!ent
to feed, and requires more care in
keeping the feeding vessels clean.

WHERE WOMEN SELECT MATE
In New Guinea 1t is Considered Be.
meath the Dignity of Men to
Take Time to Court.

So far as proposals of marriage are
concerned, in New Guinea it is always
leap-year, for in that island the men
consider it beneath their dignity to no.
tice women, much less to make over
lures of marriage. consequently the
proposing is left to the women to do.
When the ebony belle falls in love
with n man she sends a piece of string
to his sister, or. if he has no sister,
TO his mother, or another of his lady
relatives.
Then the lady who receives the
string tells the dusky brave that the
particular damsel is in love with him.
No counting follows, however, for it is
considered beneath New Guinea gen
tleman's dignity to waste time in sues
a pursuit.
If the man thinks he would like to
wed the lady, he meets her alone, and
they-decide straight away whether to
marry or drop the idea.
In the former case the betrothal Is
announced. The man is then branded
on the back with charcoal, while
mark is cut into the woman's skin
No breach-of-promise actions are
possible in New Guinea, though if the
lady is Tilted her friends may hunt her
lover up and go" for him. On the
other hand, if the dark damsel proves
faithless. she is liable to be eaten BY
her betrothed N he catches her.

mixed POULTRY FEEDS
Best Results Obtained by Study
ing Needs of Flock.
One Essential TO Laying Hens Is Ex-
ercise-Many Methods Resorted to
in Addition to Scattering
Grain Among Straw.
By R. G. wEATHERsT0NED

Hens will do better on mixed feeds
than on any other. A quart Of corn
meal alone will not give as good re-
suits as a pint and half Of corn
meal mixed with some other food such
as cooked potatoes.
A great variety Of chicken feed is
manufactured, consisting of mixtures
Of various grains, dried ground bone,
dried blood, beef scraps and such
matter, but the best results can prob
ably be obtained by studying the needs
Of ones flock and supplying them at
first hand.
Exercise Is Of course very essential
to laying hens when confined during
the laying season. TO obtain this
many methods are resorted to in adj
dition to scattering grain among the
straw as for instance suspending cab
bage or a bunch of beetS about two
feet above the floor in order to induce
the hens to jump mp to reach 1t. II
the hens are very hungry for this
FORT of food they will get more exer-

BENEFITS OF DRAINED SOILS
Deeper Feeding Ground offered for
Plants-increase in Crop Yield
May Be Expected.

A drained soil offers a deeper feed
ing ground for the plants The roots
of most cultivated crops will not go
into saturated soil and will die if kept
under water without air for more than
a short time. The root zone is then,
not the depth above the point of per
manent satur0uon but only that soil
into which the tluctuating water-tahle
does not rise except for periods too
short to iajure the plants seriously.
Drainage tends 10 increase this depth
To that of the drains. thus making a
greater quantity of food available.
Hence. an increase In crop WELD may
ordinarily be expected from the drain
age of such land already under Guilt
