ism as he beheld the splendor and
adornments of their Federal buildings.
He could well imagine that in gran
deur and architectural beauty they put
to the blush Solomon's temple and
the palace of the Caesars.
They cost millions upon top Of mil
lions, but never a word has he heard
uttered that it was wasteful extra
vagance of the Nations money.
These magnificent structures, costing
millions merely for their sculptural
figures and other ornamentations, car
ry with them no faint of the pork
barrel"
It is only when a rural population
of a few thousand souls secures a
Federal appropriation amounting to a
few thousand dollars that the pork
barrel" cry is heard.
On all occasions these big cities
act the hog.
They reserve the right to them
selves to loot the Public Treasury.
If rigid economy and simplicity Is
to prevail, why erect any Federal
buildings costing five and ten and
more millions of dollars?
The business of the country can be
done in buildings without any archi-
tectural frills and furbelows just as
satisfactorily as in one with marble
columns, mural decorations. and gold
en- domes that glitter in the sunlight.
Neither do those newspapers in the
big cities across the line complain of
the millions appropriated for the i'm
provements of their harbors.
The tainted cry Of pork" is only
heard when an appropriation is asked
for some building, river, or harbor in
some rural localities, where the popu-
lation is supposed to pay the toll and
be content
No wonder Frank Clark arose in his
seat and in his wrath, in answer TO
one of his critics, said:
THAT is an absolute, bald, unsup-
ported, snaggle-toothed, and unquali-
fled falsehood.'
His language was not very parlia-
mentary, but was no more than the
occasion demanded
The Government should not be mig
gardly or parsimonious. 1t should
erect Federal building in every in
coroprated city and town in the Unit
ed States, and in architectural design
and finish it should set the pace.
These buildings would cultivate the
taste and accentuate the patriotism
of the people. They would give them
broader vision of the grandeur and
glory of our Republic.-Ocala Banner,

The hens should be handled individ- 1zlly and gone over carefully With the object of dividing them into two lots one the better producers and the other the poorer producers. From the better producers it is also desirable to pick out and band, CT otherwise mark, as many of the best as will be needed for breeders Market those selected as the poor producers. Save the better pro- tucers. Save the better producers for laying and breeding.
 When a single systematic culling IS made, the best time to do 1t is in early fall At this time it is easier to form a close estimate of the relative value of q hen as an egg producer, and to weed out the poor layers. Hens that show indications of laying at this time are those which, on the average, have been the better producers for the year. 1t must be remembered, Bo, that the better producers during the first laying year are usually those which will be. the better producers in subsequent years.
 Melting is probably the most valuable and most easily applied test of produc- ton. Hens cease laying completely or almost completely, during the mott. The better producers lay late in the fall, and therefore mott late Late molters also mott rapidly as a rule. while early mott CTS mott slowly. Therefore. save the hens that have not melted by August or are only just beginning to mott late in September or in October, and discard those which have finished molting or are well into the mott. The hens that mott latest, provided they are otherwise desirable are the best to save for breed CTS
 In brief, cull hens that are sick, weak, lacking vigor, inactive. poor eaters ear ly Inoltors. with small, puckered, hard, try vents, with small. shriveled. hard, scaly dull-colored combs; with thick or coarse stiff pelvic bones, close together, small spread between pelvic bones and rear end Of keel and hard small abdo- men, In breeds with yellow skin and shanks. the discarded hens should also show yellow or medium yellow shsnks and yellow beaks and vents

REDUCED EGG YIELD FROM
 BROoDINESS IN H

Broodiness in hens is a frequent cause of reduced egg yields. The sooner that broody hen can be broken up" the sooner she will resume laying, say ponl- .ry specialists.
 Among the many devices used, one which is both effective and humane is ihis: Confne the hen in small coop having slat bottom and raised off the ground. Give her an abundance of wa trr Co drink, and she may be fed or not, as desired. Some poultrymen prefer to fast hroody hens. but whether she is led or not appears to make little differ rnce h the duration of broodiness From three 10 six days confinement in the ventilated, slat bottom coop will break up most hens, though some re- Jairc 70 to F days.

By means of simple and practical marker, hogs may be tattooed with dis tinguishing letters and figures and when disease is found by. post-mortem examination the identity of such ami ,nals is know With a simple system of records it is thus possible to trace a shipment to the farm from which it came and stamp out infectious diseases at their source. Evidence shows that swine become infected with tuberculosis principally from cattle, either by fol- lowing them in feed lots or pastures, by receiving infected dairy by-products pr by eating tuberculous carcasses.
