try keepers are inquring daily how
early moulting may be secured in or

From his personal experience, Poultry
man Roy H. Waite, of the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station, does
not recommend q forced moult. He
says, ut is possible to hasten the pro-
cess and get new set Of feathers on
the birds in short order. but several
experiments have shown that where
the moult has been forced the hens
laid later than when they were allow.
ed to moult naturally. Give the moult'
Ing hens plenty OF feed rich In protein.
The feathers contain large amounts OF
this product and make heavy drain
upon the birds supply. The feathers
will grow out after fashion even
though the hens are not fed a special
feed, but they will not come through
with the same degree OF health and
vitality they would have if properly
cared for.
"In addition to the regular rations,
give q small proportion Of linseed
meal About 10 per cent. of the regu-
lar mash has been found to be good.
This would be ten pounds Of linseed
meal to each ninety pounds OF the
mash mixture. II sunnower seeds are
available, they make an excells,
moulting feed, but IT would hardly pay
to buy them at present prices, unless
you are raising special exhibition
stock"

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
he Would Be First to Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made it plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity of the pro-
posed increase Of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means Of settle
ment of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine, Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
II deeply deplOre. In the name OF
labor, In the name Of justice, In the
name of American ideals, the snrren-
der of the Executive and of Congress
to force, instead of permitting reason
to reign.
"The measure to which have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking, an
eight-hOur measure. 1t was II wage
measure. 1t was plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. ! do
not speak of the equity Of that. That

these industrial controversies. We
can settle everything In this country
If we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton of the facts.
This particular measure shows on
its face that 1t was legislation in adj
vance of the Investigation, instead
of investigation In advance Of legisln-
ton. 1t is said that there was In its
favor the judgment of society. The
judgment Of society In this country
has never been passed In favor of leg
slation without knowledge Of the eQui-
ty and regardless of the facts Of the
case. There was no judgment of So
ciety In favor Of the roads which were
excepted from Its provisions. II there

tense 1t was a surrender to force In
stead OF a clear, candid, faithful
framed examination Of the facts. and
then action in accordance with Ameri-
can principles.

ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule of the common judg-
ment after discussion, after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

Allow Dou Mascot In Hospital.

For the sake of Roma, the Great
Dane mascot of the Auckland New
Zealand) Mounted rifles, one Of the
most infiexible rules of the Fourth
London General hospital has been re-
Taxed. Among the patients in the hos
pital is a man of the mounted rifles
to whom the dog had become greatly
attached. Missing her friend from the
regiment Roma became inconsolable,
and for three days refused fool, al
though dainties Of many descriptions
were pressed upon her by her anxious
soldier comrades. The man himself
on learning of Rona's unhappiness was
greatly concerned, and in the interests
of both man and dog the hospital au-
thorities consented that the dog should
be brought to the hospital. Roma Is
now staying at the hospital, and soon,
1t Is hoped, will escort her recovered
comrade back to the regiment.
Roma Is ION the strength" of the
regiment, and wears an official identi-
fication disk carried on silver chain

NO POSSIBILITY OF ERROR
Truck Counter Does Its Work Auto
naticalIy and II Is Said Cannot
Make q Mistake,

An ingenious machine designed to
automatically count truck loads Of
merchandise Is invented. 1t Is claimed
that where any considerable amount
of shipping Is being done, the truck
counter will frequently save its cost
In a single day through the elimlna-
ton Of errors that Invariably creep
In where the usual method Is en-
ployed,
The counter Is so made that when
the truck rolls on to the apron, the
weight of the truck load presses the
apron down, the truck wheels move
the lever forward, and the load Is
tailed. As the trip lever moves for
ward, 1t also goes down, and with
1t the narrow apron; therefore the
platform becomes so nearly level that
no resistance is offered to the
trucker.
As the truck passes off Of the ma
chine, the latter Is instantly set for
the next load. The machine cannot be
tripped by the weight Of the men push
Ing the truck or by returning with
either an empty or lOnded truck

Dates for Sowing Wheat

College Park, Nd, Aul 24-The
Hessian Fly has caused more or less
severe injury In all parts Of the State
the past season. In some cases, 1t has
reduced the crop of wheat from 25 to
so per cent. The general increase of
the pest makes It necessary for farm
ers to exercise every care in prevent.

In regard to the pest, Director T. B.
Symons, of the Maryland Agricultural
Extension Service, says, 1.-THE insect
passes the summer in the wheat stub.
No volunteer wheat should be allowed
to grow during the summer. Rotation
Of crops is very beneficial. On farms
where the pest has been serious, a mar
row plat Of wheat should be sowed
along one side of the fed about Sep
tember LIST to 10th, depending on To-
cality, as bats for the Fly. Later,
this can be plowed down.
From observations and records, and
considering the latitude and altitude
ut the various points. wheat should
not be sowed in the surrounding coun-
try Of the following cities and towns
of the State before the dates given:

for Rare Plants
and Wild Berries in Maine

This Is the season when scores of
Maine women enter the woods in
search Of rare plants and wild berries,
which are collected and shipped to the
METROPOLITAN markets for the holiday
trade. The next 80 days are busy ones
for these workers who, during the day.
gather the greens and spend their
evenings sorting and getting them
ready for shipment. which begins the
first of December and continues for two
weeks.
The search for partridge berries is
perhaps more general than Tor any
other form Of wild plant life. The long.
trailing vines are usually found In
thick woods. but those with the well
developed berries are not plentiful. and
it frequently happens that people will
spend a whole day without finding half
q dozen vines with berries upon them.
Many people form these vines into
small wheaths. winding the short stems
about black cotton thread instead OF
wire frames and by turning them face
down into a pan of water every night
and removing them each morning. the
briiliancy OF the berries and leaves will
continue for many months. In the big
cities they are eagerly sought.
What IL perhaps the most striking
combination Of wild plant life which
invariably meets with ready sale is
the glass bowls with various collections
found only in the dense woods. Such
combinations usually consist of the par
fridge berry vines. ornamental MOSES,
small FUNGUS growths. sometimes pieces

Now That the VOTING is Done.

Many an independent" voter yester-
day threw away his vote for the sake
OF being Independent. Undoubtedly
many Democrats who could not en-
corse Wilson voted for the Socialist
candidate, and some Of those who
could not come back" to the party
they had denounced and spurned. in
stead of voting for Hughes electors
voted for the Prohibition candidate.
And there can be no doubt that the
most idiotic phrase uttered in the
campaign. He has kept US out Of war;"
changed more votes than all the
others. Men who saw the ruinous near
free-trade policy in its true light; men
who knew the meaning of the war
tax methods; men who saw the in
cvitable crash in our present prosper
ity' when peace is declared in Europe;
men who despised the spineless govern
ment that had no regard for American
lives and property-of all such men
of normal balance and good sense in
other things. many have fallen before
the HE has kept us out Of war"
Whole families seem to have swal-
lowed the vote-catching bait, bob and
sinker. "A vote for Hughes is a vote
for war"
We commend the political ingenuity,
but not the honesty, Of Democratic
leaders who invented those silly false
hoods. It seems to have been their
total depravity Of logic that won. Be-
levers seemed not to have asked them
selves, with whom could we have
warred in Europe?" or What more Of
war could we have had with chaotic
Mexico?"
In Arizona, California. Colorado.
