derance against him in order to get
a majority in the Electoral College.
If the balance of the last twenty
years-or anything approxmating ii
lis maintained. Mr.. Hughes will be
elected. Mr.. Wilson's only chance
lies in a political upheaval shattering
party lines as they exist today and
converting the Democratic party from
a minority into a majority party. II
Mr.. Wilson is reelected he will have
won a phenomenal personal victory,
No Democratic President has sue
ceeded himself in office for more than
eighty years-since Andrew Jackson

ELM TREE 72O YEARS OLD.

Saratoga Springs. N. Y.-An elm tree

Of historic Fort Ticonderoga. has been
cut down by Thomas G. Luther, a
prominent lumberman of northern

mate that 5000 board feet of lumber
will be taken out of the tree
The trunk Of the tree measures sixty
eight feet to the limbs and is sixty
inches in circumference at the base.
The top measures twenry-seven inches.
The tree was sound and without a
blemish on it's surface. It's age is indi-
Gated by it's rings.
Owing to the fact that ordinary saw
mills cannot manufacture it into COM
mercial lumber. Mr.. Luther is now
making special arrangements for the
handling Of this tree.

which he admits was "just sheep"
Since that time he has turned off
many hundreds of dollars worth of
surplus stock and more than trebled
the average wool production of his
flock. Twenty years ago he went in
debt for 80 acres of land and yoke
Of oxen. Now he has $50 acres of
good land and eight good work horses.
Sheep raising, he claims, was the foun-
dation Of his success.
Surprising results from matings Of
purebred rams with western ewes
have been obtained in trials at the
college of agriculture, University of
Wisconsin. One of the lambs from
such mating was considered good
enough to be shown at an Internation-
al, where he won second prize in a
class of 80 entries.
Considering the amount of money
invested, no other branch Of the live
stock industry presents greater
chances for profit than sheep raising.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that of the four time-WOrn terms
ram, lamp, sheep and mutton" the
greatest of these is ram"

HENS EAT FEATHERS.

| would like to know if there is any
way of stopping hens eating feathers
from other hens? They seem to go
right up to the other hens and pull
the feathers right out, leaving their
bodies naked.-R. j. K, Racine
County.
We have found it very hard to
cure feather pulling in individuals
that once get started. We suggest
that you try putting a hopper of COM
mercial meat scrap in the pen SO that
they can have access to it all the time
or else feed green ground bone at
the rate of an ounce of the ground
hone to each bird per week.
!. In addition to this try and get all
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1916-03-02

the green feed for them that you can
and bury other grain feed in litter
so that they have to work to get it.
Our opinion is that chickens pail
feathers either because they have
nothing else to do and acquire this
bad habit or else because they lack
something and they are trying to get
it by eating the feathers from other
birds. It's a very hard habit to cure
when once we'll established in the
flock. We have been successful in
some individual instances by trim
ming the beaks down SO that they
were tender. When trouble Of this
sort comes we begin to experiment
to try and find out what they lack and
then supply that. Sometimes it is
meat feed, sometimes it's green feed,
and sometimes it seems to be impoS-
sible to find out just what is wrong
Flocks that are busy and have lots of
chance to roam very seldom acquire
the habit. 1t seems to be confined
almost entirely to chickens that are
kept rather closely yarded.-James G..
Halpin.

All ready for battle royal against
inferior breeding. Eighteen sons and
daughters of noted Wisconsin Shrop-
shire ram, Senator Bibby, were pre-
vented by quarantine from carrying
the campaign last fall to the San Fran
cisco exposition.
In sheep breeding as in any other
line of animal husbandry, improve
ment comes very largely from the SIRE
The group shown in the photograph is
only one Of many forcible examples
Of this fact. Thousands of similar
cases are to be found throughout this
and other states.
1t is hard to tell the real worth of a
good ram. One can easily convince
himself of the practical benefits arts
ing from the use Of such an animal,
and draw his own conclusions.
A Polk county sheepman has demon
strated to his own satisfaction and
proved to his neighbors that a pure
bred ram is a necessity to the great
est success in the business. Fifteen
years ago he mated his first purebred
ram with his 'fold white faced ewe,'

CAPON PRODUCTION WILL IN

We are thinking of trying to use
some of our cockerels as capOnS
What do you think Of capon raising
for this section? Are there many
raised in this state? Would capons
find a ready market in Milwaukee or
Chicago?-L. H. b., Waushara County
The production of capons will likely
increase rapidly within the next few
years. At the present time there isn't
so very much of demand apparently
in Milwaukee, but the demand for this
sort of a thing is constantly moving
westward, and there is going TO be a
good demand for fancy capons. There
are not very many raised in the state
as yet, but quite a bit of interest is
being manifested by buyers as we'll as
people that are thinking of producing
them. For instance, one southern
Wisconsin produce company is going
to wage a special campaign to get the
farmers in their vicinity to caponize
all, CT as many as possible, of the late
Matched cockerels. The company feel
that they can get an extra good mar
ket for them, and are going to invest
quite a bit of money in getting the
thing started. We wrote to two or
three companies at Milwaukee last
year in regard to capons, but didn't
get very favorable answers. The Chi
cago market last year was much bet
ter. Quite few capons gould be mar
keted in Madison, but it would take a
little advertising on the part of one of
our progressive farmers in order to
get it started.
You will see from this that we are
not as enthusiastic about the capons
as some Of the people that are writing
on the subject. We would make broil-
ers of all the surplus cockerels as long
as the broiler market lasts. After that
it would be we'll to caponiZe few and
try it. They could run with the hens
if you wish, and will not be very ex-
pensive experiment. If you do capon-
ize some. we hope you will let us hear
how you come out, and If | can be of
any help in marketing them, or can
be of any assistance at all, do not
hesitate to call on us.-James &.

to the Pacific, and from the
lakes to the Gulf; have skinned
some of them SO closely that
they will barely pay the cost Of
labor; some Of them not even
that, and these we have aban-
doned, turning them over to ma
ture to bind by her slow but
healing processes the broken
hearted land. In other large
sections we have skinned so
closely that the owners are Of
fering their farms for sale at
less than the cost of the i'm

children grow up and go out into bet
ter homes than she had, and as those
pioneers go out into the new countries
to develop the cutover lands, to break
up the prairie sod, to make for this
country of ours more acres on which
to grow better crops, there is no crop
that ought to be SO we'll nourished and
