Winter Poultry Menu.

Sprouted oats, cabbage or man.
gels for succulence should sup
plement the grain feed given to
poultry. especially during the
winter season. To sprout oats,
they should be soaked in luke
warm water for "a hours and
spread out in shallow box in lay
er one inch deep. The oats should
not be fed until it is four to five
inches high. About one square
inch per hen daily. is the amount
recommended for feeding by the
Pennsylvania State College. If
the oats mold, ten drops Of for
maldehyde should be added to a
bucket Of water when the oats
are soaked. Cabbage and man.
gels should be suspended by a
rope or wire 30 that the hens will
secure exercise in jumping for
them. Grit and oyster shell
should be kept in hoppers or box
es at all times. Granulated char
coal is beneficial in absorbing
gases and correcting disorders Of
the digestive system in hens. 1t
may either be mixed with mash
or fed alone in hoppers.

The Inducemeut to Business Ability.

A Socialist member has intro
duced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature a bill placing a grad
uated tax on incomes so that no
one would ever receive more than
$40, 900 a year. This is typical
of a type of proposition that is
growing more and more common.
The federal income tax has al
ready been increased. Efforts
to advance it still further will
certainly be made.
The Scriptures lay down the
proposition that to whom much is
given, of him shall much be re-
quired. The man of wealth gain
ed his dollars not wholly by his
own industry. He had given to
him a higher degree of power
and skill. In 80 far as this was
Unborn, he is entitled to no credit
for it, and should be willing to
contribute according to his abil-
ity to pay.
But we must be careful not to
kill the goose that lays the gold
en- egg. Savage tribes live &C.
cording to Socialistic principles
with their property in common.
They don't rise to civilization
until they are willing to encour-
age individual initiative. The
moment they give a man what
he earns that moment education
becomes possible and human COM
forts multiply.
The able business executive
pays his way. if he is honest. A
good manager can double the
production Of a loosely run plant.
1t is a business proposition to
let him keep his small proportion
of the profits even if it does make
him wealthy. However he can
afford to pay heavily toward
taxes and should give literally to
all philanthropies.
A heavy tax on wealth is legit-
innate provided it does not check
business enterprise and discour-
age men Of superior ability from
exercising those powers. But
the public should see that there
is a limit, beyond which taxes
would not be profitable to the
community.
