United States will offer the richest

Upon such pressure OF European
competition the manufacturers and
other producers In the United
States will have extreme need of the
watchful and friendly administration
of the national government, If they
are to be able to keep their employees
at work and hold to the American
standard in respect to wages. They
cannot do it II they have to deal with
suspicious. antagonistic and theory
ridden officials in the highest places
at the national capital.
This is one of the most vital rea-

ought to be defeated in the coming
presidential election. 1t ia not fit

POULTRY
FATS.
GOOD RATION FOR FA11ENINe
Improvement In Quality Of Fowls May
BE Had by Using Little Time
Confine in Pen.

Just . little time spent in fattening
birds will greatly improve their quail
fly. The following ration has been
recommended by the poultry husband
man Of the Nebraska college of ag-
riculture as being most economical
for that state. and giving satisfactory
results in fattening chickens: Sixty
per cent cornmeal. 40 per cent low
grade -four, 20 per cent wheat mid
dlings. Mix and skim milk to the
consistency Of . batter. and feed
morning and night. Starve the birds
for twelve hours previous to their
FIRST feeding. This will sharpen their
appetites. Fatten for two weeks in
. small pen or crate. until ready for
killing. This win deprive the fowls of
exercise, and the muscles will become
soft. Fatty tissue will be taken on
between the muscle f1bers, which will
greatly aid in the cooking process.
Don't kill the bird when the crop 10
full Starve for "a hours and provide
all the water they will drink. II the
chicken is to be roasted, remove the
crop either with the viscera or by
making an incision next to the spinal
column. where it will not show when
the bird is severed. The cords or ten
dons Of the thigh may be easily re-
moved by partly severing the shank
at the hook joint. Then, after locat-
ing the cords by making a lengthwise
incision in the scaly portion of the
leg, fasten the leg securely and pull
steadily until the cords tear loose.

Confession Of Error.

without attributing to Senator I'm
derwood other blame than accepting
administration dictation in regard to
legislation, we must now regard the
repeal of the legislation making sugar
free OF duty as confession Of error in
the tariff measures which are allied
with his name.
Secretary Redfisld's attempt TO
provide by new legislation protection
for American fndustries and American
labor is also q confession that exist
