Oysters Have Many Enemies.

Between the planting and the har.
vest, an interval Of from two to five
years, the oyster culturist assumes
many hazards. On the New England
coast, after all his material is down,
the tickle "set" may not appear, pos.
sibly because at the critical time some
weather disturbance may have killed
the baby oysters while they were yet
swimming near the surface. In the
Gulf of Mexico the "set" may be so
heavy that there is scant room for the
oysters to grow, and many die, while
those that are left are half starved
and misshapen from crowding. Even
when the little oysters or "spat," have
attached themselves In favorable mum.
bers, their perils have just begun.
They are never safe from other enc.
mics until they fall into the hands Of
their arch foes.

ESSENTIALS or EGG MAKING
sprouted Oats or Steamed Glover and
Meat Scrap Take Place Of
Bugs and Grass.

Laying hens need the elements Of

In their summer range-meat and

making hens lay, and can be supplied
with but little trouble, in the form Of
meat scrap, and sprouted oats or

Washington. d. c., Jan. 2e.-Many
political leaders have feelings strongly
adverse TO Mr.. Harding's method OF
cabinet-making, and have advised him
to stop tho sending up OF trial balloons
and let the public know that his capl-
net is definitely chosen, even if he
should withhold the formal announce
ment of the names until March =.
They want him to say Immediately on
his return from the houseboat trip
next week that the conferences or the
subject, the considering of new names,
and tho listening to objections TO
names already discussed arc over.
The leaders who have no expecta-
tion of being In the cabinet, and whose
relation to tho subject is impersonai'

know they are under consideration

some things that have happened

Another of the cabinet suggestions

to him filed with Harding a resume oil
business transactions with which the
candidate had been identified and
which turned out badly for the persons

been involved in a law suit OF a
peculiarly personal nature. And the
details OF that were brought UP.
In the case of Mr.. Hughes. the old
story was brought up of why Taff,

of course, but they have probably
been greater in volume .han in the

other one man. Hoover has personal
