BUTLER WINS IN THE THIRD.

Mr.. E. Carl Duncan. Republican Ma
tional Committeeman for this State for
many years, who was displaced by the
Rutlerites in the State convention
several weeks ago. met another defeat
at the hands OF the same influences in
the third congressional district con-
vention of last week. The Republi-
cans of the district, in which both
Butler and Duncan retain their citizen
ship, had gathered for the purpose of
naming delegates to the National Re-
publican convention, o o to, meet III
Chicago. The Duncan adherents were
on the ground early and appeared 70
be making satisfactory progress when
scene and became the hero Of the hour.
He routed the opposition chip and
thigh" leAving only the fragments
Of a scattered army on the field OF
conquest. This was Mr.. Duncan's last
stand and he is now a full-fedgec
member of the down and -~out~club."
It isssaid that Butler had previously
sent his regrets, advising friends that
he would be unable to attend the con-
vention- But when Mr.. Duncan ap
feared on the scene and began corral
;ng his forces. with the view to cap
turing the delegation to Chicago, But
Ter was advised by wire to start for
! Goldsboro on "~double-quick time,' AMI
he did. His faithful "Man Friday"
ex-Judge w. S. OBJ. Robinson, placed
him in nomination against T. E. Owen
the Duncan candidate, as delegate to
the national convention and the ma
jority for Butler was so large, so the
story goes, that no further fight was
made by either Mr.. Duncan or his
friends. Mary Ann named his assocl
, ate on the delegation, put through =
resolution endorsing Roosevelt for
president and went away happy. He
was proclaimed the leader of the Re
publican party by John H. Fowler, o.
Sampson, and so he is. But whisper
this gently to Judge Ewart.

FORAGE IS QUITE ESSENTIAL
Chickens VIII Not Produce EconomL
i eaIIy Without Green Feed-soW
: Essex Rape or Oats.

Green pasture is just as essential to
the chickens life process as it is to
the dairy or beef animak OF course,
chickens a live without It, but they
will not produce economically without
some green stun.
Now that all the wild vegetation fs
killed or tough, A. P. Spencer, dis
trict agent for the University of Flor
ida extension divisiop, suggests that
dwarf essex rape or oats be sown for
them. These two crops will make ex-
cellent forage for the chicks and will
supply pasture until spring crops can
be planted. Plant about half an acre
for every 100 chickens. The rape
should be sown at the rate of eight
pounds to the acre. Chicks can be
turned on it as soon as it is three
inches high.

situation and spells trouble for this

VENTILATION FOR HENHousE
Fresh Air Is Best Secured by Lower.
ing a Window, or Taking Out
Sash and Inserting Muslin.

Where the poultry house is sup
piled with windows, ventilation is
best secured by slipping down one
of the windows at the top or taking
out a lower sash and inserting a
frame on which muslin of a good
grade has been well tackled.
Where there is an open-front
scratching shed the roosting room
back is best if made as small as pos
sible to accommodate the fowls, and
this should be inclosed against too
much cold or air.
Curtains hung constantly about
chickens IT night in the winter usu-
ally bring on influenza as. a result.
Small fiocks kept together produce
better than large ones. Ten or a
dozen fowls will require a house that
at the least will require 80 square
feet of floor space, which would mean
an s by 10 house. Twenty-Five fowls
can easily live in a house 10 by Is
feet.
If runs are attached to a house 100
square feet of space is usually counted
for each fowl; that means ten feet OF
space each way for one fowl. This
insures healthier, harder birds, and
there will be no c~rowding.
Poles laid above the roosting place,
and straw piled on these, ave cold
from overhead at night. The straw
covering should not extend far beyond
the roosts, as a free space outside
above insures more perfect Ventila-
ton.

Sheep Must Have Water.

Some people actually believe that
sheep ean live without water. No such
hing. It is true that sheep in certain
seasons can live for days without be-
