The Senatorial Race.

The statement from Congressman
Ragsdale. carried in the last issue OF
The Advertiser in which he declare 1
his allegiance to Senator Tillman in
case the latter becomes a candida, e
Tor reelection, has aroused much
speculation as to probable candidates
IN the race. Congressman A. F. Lev
er, who is often spoken of in connec.
ton with the senatorial toga. may not
! run IN case the senior senator is IN
the race. w. p. Pollock, Of Cberaw
WHO with Lang Jennings made
things rather warm during 1be se,,.-
'orial campaign Of 1914, is priming
HIS feathers for another race and ia
expected to he in the race next wear
.esaroiess or who enters. Close
ifiends OF Jennings say that he will
not be in the race. Col. w. Jasper
robert of Parksville, has said that
ne VIII enter the race if Tillman does
and promises to make it an interas+-
ing affair." Mr.. n. d. Dial. of tbis
~, announced some time ago that
ie ih'ehds to be in the race and
1t is q we'll known fact that Mr. D,o,
doesn't change his mind often. There
are other aspiring patriots wbo wo,,a
oountless throw their hats in the ring
were it certain that they would not
nave Tillman to contend with. but On
rar they are keeping quiet. The state.
ment of Mr.. Ragsdale in many quar-
ters is taken as a 'feeler" thrown out
IN the interest of the senior senator
ana II the senator allows his name 70
DC placed in the hat it appears that
he will be opposed then by Dial. Pol
lock and Tolbert if not others. With
them in the race the senator Will
not have an easy thing of it by any
means. All of these men already
have strong followings and are able
campaigners. Mr.. Dial has had less
political experience probably than any
Of them but in his last race he mod,
4 strong impression with his business
platform and he will doubtless in
crease his vote materially this year.
AZ l"H't' l." Is the only man so far
announced who is from the real Pied

.IIArCH CHICKENS EARLY.
Fresh Eggs VIII bc Scarce Next Fall
and Winter-Rcmetiy Is I'm Hands
Of the Poultry Man.

Did IT ever occur to you that nature
requires her children to take an an
nual vacation She does. and 20
where do human beings puzzle their
Drains over this fact more than when
the hens begin their yearly holiday
This vacation is technically called the
"molting season. 1t begins durin.y
tho late summer. The hens stop lay-
Ing. and change their suits of fcuth-
ers for new ones. Usually they con.
sumo three or four months IN t1
process. Most OF us know this per
fectly WELL but arc apt to ovcrlool. the
fact that very important feature G:
the moltlng periods is that cgg lay
ing stops We are unreasonable anf
expect tho hens to lay all the time
When the hens take this vacatio,
new-laid fresh cggs are scarce and re-
main scarce until the puilets ha,che
curing the preceding spring begin to
lay.
The Remedy.
The remedy Is very simple, and !:
undor the control of the poultry man
The first step is to have chichc,:
Matched early. go that the pullets be
GIN to lay when the hens begin tt
mott. This is not difficult. Pullc.,
, of the American breeds begin layinr
at about months OF age. Leghor1
pullets begin when about months
old. North OF the OHIO river th,s
means that all Matching must he Owe,
by May l at the latest. The best plar
] IL to have the chickens coming at in.
tervais during March and April. The
earliest hatched pullets will, O.
course. begin 10 lay first. IL any oi
them begin to molt. their places w!
he taken by the later ones ana
steady supply OF cggs will be more
certain.
Tho Difficulty.
Tho difficulty In the way OF t,,f
practical application of this matter :.
that so many poultry keepers are d.
pendent on hens for Matching. Az
long as we have late hatohed chicken.
we will have late sitters. The pou,.
try keeper who wants to change r-o.c
iate Matching TO early Matching muS:
therefore either got broody hens f,ov
some one else or use an Incubator
After he has changed the dates" or
''is flock he will have no trouble, cs.
pecially with the American breeds.
Can IL Be Done?
Every progressive poultry raiscy
who has tried it. every agriculture,
college and the government, have
data showing that carly Matching will
produce fn'i Und winter layers y.
the government f,Ock during tn
past winter the pullets OF the c.t.r,
Eock averaged over 20 per cent. it,
egg production, and some pens maCs
80 per cent. That means. i'm plat.
language. that the cgg productioi
Tor all the pullets was one egs G@u!
for every five hens, and for some Dcn
one egg daily for every three hen.
This, too, when fresh eggs sold u;

This is a brave saying. worthy Of

with that held by one OF our forcm ost
