THE SOUTH Is AGAINST
SUFFRAGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.--Now
that the new Republican House and
Senate have passed the constitution
nj amendment granting the suffrage
to women on the same conditions as
to men II is feared that the cause
will be temporarily lost in the rick
ribbed southern states.
In Georgia a test vote on accept
ing test vote on ratification re-
evaled 81 to IL majority against
It. In the House the proportion ia
said to be much greater, In Alaba-
ma the suffragists have made u spir-
tied fight, but poll has shown that
81 out of 80 are against the amend
ment. The Virginia legislature meet
in August and II is feared that con-
servative opinion there. which has
steadily voted the Democratic ticket
since the days OF Andrew Jackson,
and which has long advocated the
grandfather clause by which negroes
have been excluded from the ballot,
will exercise its authority and reject
the amendment. In the remainder
of the southern states are to be
found. according to the claims OF the
Democratic members OF the House
and Senate from there. who have so
persistently fought the suffrage am
endment in Congress, the votes to
prevent ratification.

The President is said by Senators

Calder OF New York, Edge OF New

have admitted that the reason for
his accession to the demands OF ia.

Early Matching Is Advisable for Profitable Results
Care in Brooding Will Prevent Loss

fact. He has been making special
experiments in order to learn the
truth about this matter and has charts
to prove his contention. Prof Graham
says that this belief in the dangers of
fall moulting as a result OF early
Matching have caused American poul-
trymen enormous losses. He advises
commercial poultry keepers and ana
tours alike to forget the moulting bug
bear and to hatch early in any event
OF course early Matching implies the
use OF n good incubator and an equally
good brooder. 1t is harder to get out
chickens and to raise them early In
the season than later on. In n good
cellar, though. with eggs from strong
and hardy stock the percentage of
chicks Matched out should prove very
satisfactory il reliable machine he
used, The incubator should stand
level and where direct sunlight will
not fall upon@it. 1t is important that
the ventilation of the cellar be good
and the lamp must be kept perfectly
clean. Considerable Matching Is now
being done with both electricity and
gas. Here is one point not to over
look--the insurance agent must be
notified before an incubator Is started
in the cellar or in any room OF the
house. Probably nominal fee will
be charged.
Many amateurs will buy day-old
chicks this seasonal very good plan,
IL the chicks come from good stock.
They should be ordered early If early
delivery is expected,
Custom patching means taking eggs
to somebody who makes a business of
Matching for other people. This is a
plan followed by some commercial
poultry keepers. Operating a custom
hatchery is interesting and profitable
work for women.
Whether one has chickens hatched
out in his own machines or chickens
which have been purchased, they
must be given good care IL they are
to be raised. Incubator chicka are
reared in breeders as n matter OF
course. Indoor breeders are used for
the most part, outdoor breeders not
having proved very satisfactory. In
the past three or four years the use
Of large metal hovers has becomS very
general because of the ease with
which they are operated and the large
number of chickens which they Will

There Is no dirt, az when coal is

Colony breeders or hovers will cas-
lily care for focks UP to 400 chickens
-and larger fiocks in late spring. Many
breeders are rated at higher ca
pncity but there is always danger Of
heavy losses when moro than 400
chicks are together. Even with that
number some care must be exercised
to see that they do not crowd, and 1t
may be necessary to spread them out
with the hands at first.
1t is a great help TO have IL brooder
house with windows In the back as
we'll as in the front. Then the chickens
will form in circle much more read
lily at night than when the last rays Of
light come from one side. 1t is en-
tirely feasible TO have electric lights in
the brooder house and To keep them

this is done late feeding should he

chicks along in early spring.

Early Matching is going TO be the
rule among poultry keepers this season
II tho advice Of the experts il needed.
Poultry stocks are very low and early
Matched pullets must be depended upon
to supply the country with eggs next
fall That early Matching means
early laying has been demonstrated
beyond question. Years ago few eggs
were obtained in the early winter
months or indeed before spring bo-
cause the pullets did not begin TO lay
before cold weather set in. They did
not begin to lay because they were
not Matched until late in the spring
and they were not Matched until then
because a sufficient number of broody
hens could not be found to sit on the
eggs. OF course the incubator has
changed all this. Chickens can now
be Matched out at any time OF the
year. Rooster growers often begin
Matching in September or earlier for
the following season. 1t Is a common
thing for duck raisers to All up their
giant Matching machines In December.
1t Is true, to be sure, that fertility
runs lower than in spring, but incu-
bators and breeders make the poultry
keeper Independent of broody hens AT
all seasons.
When should the amateur poultry
keeper begin Matching for best results?
That will depend mostly on the breed
he keeps but somewhat on his location.
II Is necessary to get out chicks OF
such breeds as Plymouth Rocks and
Wyandottes a month earlier than
those Of the smaller breeds like Leg
horns and Anconas. The first OF
March is none too early for the first
lot of chickens to appear II they be-
long to the American breeds. The
last week In April should be made the
final date. Matching Mt different times
makes II possible TO have pullets COM
ing into laying from the first of Sep
TENDER on. Now this Is 4 matter OF
great Importance to poultry keepers
who are looking for profits. for 1t is
In the fall Of the year that produc-
ton usually falls off and prices always
20 up. If the poultryman can ar
range matters so as to have n steady
output right through the year that
fact will give him a great advantage
for then he can take on a greater
number OF year-round customers.
! There is commonly accepted
theory that early Matched pullets Will
Invariably moult in the fall and that
the mounting process will cause them
to stop laying, even II they have
begun. Pullets Matched in February
or early March may moult, at least IN

No farmer or gardener would think
of throwing away thirty pounds of nj
trogen, twenty pounds OF phosphoric
acid and eighteen pounds of potash
which he might find on his place.
Rather he would treasure 1t for its
great fertilizer value. This Is exactly
what 1000 pounds of ordinary hen ma
nure contains, according to- the soil
fertility workers at the New York
State College of Agriculture. Hen ma
nure has the most fertilizer value,
weight for weight, of all the animal
eNcrements, yet little attention is paid
10 saving or using II.
Where ordinary farm manure has a
fertilizer value OF $3.50 a ton poultry
manure in a thoroughly dry condition
Is worth SIS a ton, and Mt prevailing
prices the value 10 much larger. Even
when produced in small amounts such
material is we'll worthy of careful pres
ervntion.
Poultry manure should be allowed 10
dry as quickly as possible and then
should be kept dry. In this condition
it will lose but small amounts OF It's
valuable constituents. Like ordinary
manure, It ferments rapidly when
moist and will lose n large part of its
nitrogen, worth on the market % to 80
cents a pound. Since much of Its
potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen is
soluble this manure may suffer greatly
