To get good results from flock of
poultry during the winter all houses
and coops should be In good condi-
tion, only healthy fowls placed in
these buildings. and good care given
to the poultry. As 1t takes about two
weeks for hens or pullets to settle
down to their new quarters they
should be moved early. The moving
should be done before they begin to
lay, for shift after egg production
begins may set them back for q month
to six weeks. Moving pullets around
from one house to another is the best
means of holding back egg production
Il they are developing too fast. The
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture points out that It is highly de-
sirable to bring the pullets in from
the range before they begin to lay. !,

Farmers from far and near were ex-

The first thing that he bought was

listers Parliament
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

With listers new Parliament
about to be opened at Belfast with
great ceremonies, the time seems fit
ting to intrude on the American de-
bate concerning Ireland, conducted
with great heat on both sides, but
little pretense Of knowledge, with a
brief description Of the new system
whose double acceptance would au-
tomatically bring peace.
The bottom principle OF the new
Home Rule act is that there are two
peoples in Ireland; but closely asso-
ciated with this is recognition that
at an early date they may become
one, and in the meantime have
many common interests which can
be advanced by joint action. So
there are to be two Parliaments-
one for six counties OF northern Ire
land and the other for the re-
mainder of the island.
Each Parliament includes a House
OF Commons and a Senate. The
House is to be popularity elected un-
der the proportional representation
system and the Senate is to consist
OF lord mayors. church dignitaries,
peers, representatives OF business
organizations and the like.
Each Parliament, within the limits
OF the act, has complete power with
in its territory. But a form OF union
is provided by creating for all Ire
