FILLING THE NEEDS
OF THE SITTING HEN
How to Use Matching Pen and
Nest Boxes and How to
Manage The Fowls.

The care Of sitting hens is made
easier and successful matches more
certain when the sitters are confined
in pen away from the layers. The
floor of this Matching pen should be
earth, dug up and moistened. Nest
boxes should be placed about the
sides. There can be from % to 80 sit
tlng hens in pen. For the nest a box
II to Is inches square and about the
same in height is suitable. Remove
the top, front, and bottom OF the box
Cover the top with burlap sack to
provide ventilation and nail a wooden
strip inches wide across the front
at the bottom. Have a wide board
to lean against the open front and a
brick to keep it in place when it is
necessary to confine the hen.
Fill the bottom of the box level
with the top of the 4-inch board with
moist garden soil and hollow the soil
like saucer, so that the eggs will not
roll away from the hen and become
chilled. The surface of the earth
should be smooth and hard to allow
the eggs to roll. Cover the earth with
very little straw and put in a few
common eggs.

is for lice prevention. Place the hen
quietly on the nest and shut her in

plain. Spain must come to some
terms of accommodation with her Gu
ban subjects, or the United States
must interfere. Every private effort
OF negotiation had been made to
bring peace and concession; the gov
ernment's words of protest began now
to be spoken aloud and before the
world.
THE end of Mr.. Cleveland's anx-
| ious term was at hand. He left his
great Office as with a sense of relief.
His party had turned away from him
For two years ne had carried the
burdens of the government alone
The Republican house, elected in
1894, would do nothing more to
make his task possible than the Dem
ocratic house had done. Again and
again he had asked their assistance in
the relief of the treasury, to protect
the gold reserve and steady the bust
ness of the country. Plan after plan
had been maured by the secretary OF
the treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, and the
president had sought by every possi- |
bic means to serve thoughtful opinion
and rightful purposes Of reform with |
regard to the finances. But congress |
would accept nothing that he pro- |
posed. He had been left to come to |
what agreement he could with the
great bankers OF Wall street for the
protection and replishment of the /
gold reserve, they alone being able. |
without legislation, to assist him in !
the matter. He was obliged to bar
gain with them like any other bor-
rover to obtain the gold the treasury
needed and to control the drafts the
banks in their turn made upon it. |
The strain of the responsibility had
been grievious to bear; the whole
fabric Of credit seemed to rest unon
the foundations which he kept so la
boriously in repair, and the months
seemed very long while the doubtful
work went on. When the end came
he felt he had earned his rest and
quiet retirement"
For congress to interfere with and
Try 10 take charge of the diplomatic
relations now would be as foolish as
Tor the patrons of a school to go int
the school house and everyone of
them attempt to tell the teacher this
pranch and that, and a great deal
more serious in its results because on
so much larger scale. II is utterly
impossible that the diplomatic affairs
OF the country should be carried on
by 80 senator's and 436 members of
the house. The president has hand !
led the situation with great wisdom
and justice and impartiality. II is q
matter that comes purely within his
province and for which he will be
heid responsible by the world: he has
Kept peace with all nations through
very critical times, and has made the
united States respected at home and
abroad as never before. He is a man
or peace, with no more idea of maxi
ing war on another nation than he
mas OF flying. But he sees the dan
gers that threaten this country, and
now utterly unprepared the country
is to resist invasion and is trying to
make the people safe who called him
to this high office-and If he did not
he would be recreant to his trust. No
man on earth could have done better
than he has done.
Surely the Democratic party will
not repeat the folly of 1S96-on a
far more stupendous scale!
We believe the Democratic party
will stand by it's own man this time.
