The Governor and Prohibition.

The Governor and Prohibition.
Governor Milliken, in his pre-elec-
tion campaign, came out plainly and
unequivocally for the enforcement OF
the prohibitory law, though he can
didly admitted that he did not know
how he would bring it about. He has
evidently given much thought to this
matter since election, and as was ex-
pected, his expression on this matter
was one of the prominent features Of
his inaugural message.
He asks the legislature to give the
chief executive of the State the tools
to make his efforts for enforcement
effective. He recommends the adop-
tion of constitutional amendment
giving the governor power to remove
sheriff for cause after notice and
hearing, and the enactment of stat
ute comforting the same power in the
case of county attorneys.
Given this power, there is no ques-
ton but that Governor Miiliken would
exercise it to bring about real pro-
hihition in Maine. at is necessary"
he says, ''that every local official
charged with the enforcement of the
law should know that, regardless OF
supposed local sentiment, his failure
to do his duty faithfully will bring
prompt and certain punishment. in
Guiding dismissal from public Office.
The present method of dealing with
this situation is tedious, bungling and
expensive"

Farmers wives can do much to In
crease the production Of eggs during
winter. The flock win respond to In
telligent care and feeding, says the
American Agriculturist. All the poor
pullets and all but few roosters
should be marketed. 1t does not pay
to keep pullets or hens that are in
ferior in size, because they will not be-
gin laying before spring. Only flock
Of such size as can be comfortably
housed should be maintained. A hem
house IA by 80 feet will accommodate
only about eighty birds, and If these
are well fed and given sufficient venti-
lation and light, combined with exer-
else, they will give greater return
than 120 birds in the same quarters.

ately let go the other barrel. Down

they had been mixed in with the 9TH

over with the end Of the gun. He

FeedIno Oats 10 I,ene.

Many farmers have trouble In feed
ing oats to their hens. 30 they leave
them out Of the grain ration altogeth-
er. The fowls eat the other grains and
let. the oats lie. Since oats are very
nutritious and cheap poultry food, the
birds should be taught to eat them.
By feeding the oats first and waiting
until they are eaten up clean before
giving the rest Of the ration the fowls
will soon learn to like them and to eat
them any time with or without other
grains.
