NIGHT AND THE STARS.
madison Democrat.)

A few months ago Venus was the
bright evening star; now 1t is just as
bright in the morning, but one will
have to get up before daylight to see
it. But it is a grand sight. If you
want to see the earth as it appears to
people forty millions of miles away,
get up and look at Venus. 1t and the
earth are about the same size. We
would be right proud Of the earth if
we could take a look at it from Venus,
it would so brilliant and beautiful, far
more so than we would think 1t while
tramping about on it. How that
would hide all our sorrows,
disappointments, regrets and vain am
billions! But alas! if we went out as
far as Jupiter, we would not be seeen.
On Mars we would outshine; we would
be larger than that planet seems, but
on reaching the next planet we would
from view.

LATEST @HIGHLENE" STORY.
Monster Hoot Owl Fouls Circuit Three
Miles South of FennimOre.

A breGi, II the current circuit sup
plying Lanca ster, FennimOre and BOs-
cCbel, came On last Saturday morning
and Phil Ryan fastened to the test
box east Of town. He found that the
trouble showed" toward FennimOre,
and drove that way. Near the Knapp
farm three miles south Of Fennimore,
Phil discovered a monstrOus boot owl
hanging on the bottom bow wire where
he dropped after kicking out the
breaker.
A few moments work sufficed to re-
move the big fellow who stood nearly
two feet high and measured four feet
wing spread.
Phil exhibited him at FennimOre and
then brought him hack to the burial
ground for obnoxious animals, in the
rear of the light office. There, the
last sad rites were performed.
Phil, who is an authority on boot
owls, describes this to be the biggest
he has seen in his vars and vars" Of
experience.
The fellow evidently had a nest
near where the accident occurred, but
his boot will be heard no more.

The car differs from the old models
in having crown tenders front and

Additional Letters From the People

stored in selected and bonded ware
houses in the United States.
This loan arrangement was effect
ed for the purpose of freeing the
henequen industry of Yucatan from
the clutches of monopoly operating
in the interest of two powerful Amer
lean corporations. Before the revo-
luton in Mexico that monopoly was
able to arbitrarily fix the price paid
to the producer as well as the price
exacted from the independent manu-
facturers of binder Irvine in the
United States. It was detrimental
alike to the Yucatan farmer and the
American farmer, who is the ultimate
consumer of henequen.
Only thorough understanding of
conditions in Yucatan and the diff
culties that confronted the henequen
planters in their efforts to liberate
the product Of their soil and labor
from the manipulations Of this price
fixing middleman monopoly, and the
manifestation of sympathetic in
terest by the American bankers
could have made possible the con-
summation of this mutually salts
factory loan agreement
AS was to be expected, strenuous
efforts were made by those who had
accumulated millions of dollars
through the operation of the old
price-fxing monopoly to defeat the
plans of the Henequen Growers AS
ISOLATION and of the Government of
Yucatan to break up that control.
We were threatened with the active

HOW YUCATAN is STRUGGLING
FOR JUSTICE.

Dear Sir: In view of the present
widespread agitation throughout the
United States for the establishment
of closer trade relations with Mex
leo and the republics of Central
America and South America, beg to
direct your attention to the attached
editorial from The Wall Street Jour
nal, of November 10, 1915.
The very commendable efforts that
are being made by various CONNER
cial and civic bodies, as we'll as by
the press toward the Inauguration
of an era of closer social, commercial
and economic unity between the
United States and her sister republics
will be strengthened by the encour-
agement of a spirit of friendly co.
operation. First, however, an under
standing on the part of the people
of the United States of the conditions
which have operated to prevent the
earlier establishment of this unity
is necessary in order that the sug-
igested mutual and friendly co-opera-
EEon may attain the greatest possible
n ogree of success. This is a duty
t deyolves upon the press.

good native driving mares. The term
Hackney is derived from hack, orig
inally meaning any horse suitable for
drawing carriages and similar We
hicles with considerable speed. Speed
development beyond reasonable
limit has not been emphasized in this
breed, but great attention has been
given to action and endurance.
In form this horse is rounder and
smoother than the trotting horse, with
less tendency to angularity. In height
he stands from 142 to 1873 hands. In
movement he resembles the French
and German coach horses. Knee ac-
ton is unusually high. In motion, the
foot describes circle.
Hackney and Coach horses are chief.
ly used as park animals and for driv-
ing in boulevards and city streets. The
prevalence of the automobile has done
a great deal to discourage the pr0duc-
ton Of horses of this type on large
scale in this country. From the farm
ers' standpoint the Hackney is desir-
able for driving purposes, but too small
for work in the feld.-Farm and

NOTING PERIOD is TRYING
Anxious to Get Hens Through
Ordeal at Early Date.

The annual mott, which starts with
the arrival of dog days, is a most
critical time in the life of hens. She'd
ding old feathers and growing new
ones comes when the vitality is at a
low ebb. In a normal mott about four
months are required for complete
change Of plumage, the first feathers
beginning to fall about July l. At
first the egg production does not
materially decrease, but as the pro-
cess advances the drain on the sys-
TEN increases until the production
gradually diminishes toward Septem-
Der l. Usually egg-laying will not
commence again until the new set Of
feathers is complete.
If, however, the poultryman is for
tunate enough to bring his hens sue
cessfully through the mott and get
them laying by mid-November, the
fowls will probably continue to lay
throughout the winter. Thus poultry
men wishing to produce winter eggs
for markets are very anxious to get
their hens through the mott at an
early date.

SHADE Is GREAT NECESSITY
Astonishing to Note How Many Farm.
ers Fail to Provide Shelter Dur
ing Hot Summer Days.

The necessity for providing shades
for hogs in summer is overlooked by
the majority of farmers throughout
the country. 1t is astonishing to note
how many herds of hogs are COM
PEELED to lay in the sun and suffer DUR
ing the summer days. If the herd has
access to an orchard or wood lot they
will not need artificial shade. How
ever, if they are confined in open
lots, they should have sunshades built
to protect them. A cheap and efficient
shade can be erected in a few hours,
and at practically no cost, aside from
the labor. A few posts, some old
boards or saplings, and a straw or
hay roof makes an ideal shade. 1t is
preferable to one of boards, and the
straw or hay roof is cooler than one
Of lumber.
In building sunshades it is better to
build them at the highest point in the
field, so that the hogs will get the full
benefit of every breeze. Few farm
ers realize the great losses that are
due directly to overheating, and such
losses can be guarded against only b.
providing q retreat for the animals
during the heat of the day. Days
when the weather is extremely hot il
is an excellent plan to sprinkle the
soil under the shades with water. Ono
barrel of water will help keep dowr
the temperature during the middle o
the day.
