Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922.
WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-Out of the
frying pan into the fire may be the up
shot Of the maneuver whereby Senator
Kenyon of Iowa. brains of the agrictl-
tural bloc, was prevailed upon TO leave
the senate and accept the federal
iudgeship offered him by President
Harding,
The political purpose was to relieve
the leader OF a movement which had
been threatening the solidarity of the
Republican party. Senator Kenyon was
u thorn in the side of the administration
He was the man who gave the Demo
crafts much political ammunition by the
way he fought against the seating of
Senator Newberry, He threatened to
support Senator Hendrick. of Wyoming.
a Democrat, as against Frank Mondell.
Republican, because the latter was too
conservative. Mr.. Kenyon talked about
campaigning from one end of the couu-
try to the other on the subject Of con
doning corruption in the senate. He
was always active and independent and
was one of the chief figures i'm bringing
out the facts of the Missouri primary
scandal which preceded the Republican
national convention of 1920.
Shelving Kenyon.
Then why did he abandon these agrees
Sive tactics and accept quiet place in
henchG Most everybody here in politi-
cal circles knows why the administra-
tion wanted TO have Kenyon out of the
way. Democrats have awaited them
selves of it,. too. But Senator Kenyon's
own reasons remain Il mystery. The
most plausible explanation advanced by
those who know him best Is that he was
just tired-plainly tired with life in the
United States senate. that the vote in
the Ncwberry ease diSheartened him.
and that the disgust for politics which
lac had 80 often expressed in private had
at last come To a head. and that if the
appointment had not been rendered him
he might have resigned.
But if senator Kenyon has found sol
ace on the federal bench. il cannot be
said that the administration Is alto
ccther sure that it has accomplished
much by removing him from leadership
of the farm bloc. In the first place. there
is no certainty that the appoiutee from
Iowa will hold aloOf from the bloc. The
chances are that any senator from Iowa
will have to go along With the western
graup of senators who are making n fight
for better treatment Of The American
farmer by the federal government.
No Leader in Sight.
As for. leadership of the bloc, the de
parture of Kenyon leaves mo outstanding
figure unless il be Senator Norris. Of
Nebraska The truth is that Kenyon
has been more OF less of a liason officer
between the two factions inside the agri-
cultural hloc-thc radicals and consery-
ativcs. lie has managed to keep the
bloc together and has endeayorcd to
work through the machinery Of the Re
publican party despite the constant gos-
sip about n third party movement with
Kenyon as presidential candidate IN
y
if the two factions develop differences
of opinion which may lead to further
disturbance inside the Republican party
Senator Norris of Nebraska is likely to

Elizabeth Farley is u seyenteen-year-
old club girl, a senior In the high
school at Amherst, Mass. About four
years ago, after experimenting with
the All garden and poultry clubs of
the United States Depa rtment of
Agriculture for several years, she de-
cided TO purchase cow. Her father
attempted To discourage her. saying
that she had no knowledge of milk
ing and no place to house an animal.
Her father went away for Il week end
trip, however. and when he returned
he found that Elizabeth WAS the owner
of registered Jersey COW which
she had learned to milk, and for
which she had rented a stall in a
neighbours barn. Profits from pre-
vious poultry work supplied the funds
'or this venture.
Elizabeth remained in club work
and because of the demand for milk
purchased other registered cows AMI
calves For two years the cattle had
to be staked out every day in pas
ture 10 minutes walk from the house.
and as the pasture brook dried up
she had also to carry water to them
! One COW nearly died of sickness. I'm
til year ago Elizabeth did all her
own work. including delivering the
milk.

NO BEST BREED OF POULTRY
There Are Three Glasses Specially
Adapted to Production Of Eggs
and Meat.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
There Is no best breed Of poultry.
That, at least, is the opinion of men
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture who have been studying
the business for years. and have had
experience with all varieties Of all
breeds in America. To go among
your friends and ask for advice about
the kind Of chickens to start with
would be about as productive OF con-
f1icting views as If you asked for help
In buying motor car or typewriter.
Every man has his likings, and some
have good reasons for them, but in the
end the beginner will have to be the
Judge; wherefore the opinion of the
department specialists will be about
the best guide: Keep only one vari-
ETY. of breed, and select the breed
that suits your purpose best. Be sure
CT one thing-have standardized
male at the head Of the flock. Such a
bird will improve the quality of the
stock materially. A mongrel male
will produce no improvement.
These are the reasons: Standard
bred fowls produce uniform products
which bring higher prices.
Standardized stock and eggs sold
for breeding purposes, bring higher
prices than market quotations.
Standardized fowls can be exhibit
ed, and thus compete for prizes.
Eggs and stock from mongrel fowls
are not sold for breeding purposes.
Mongrel fowls are not exhibited II
| poultry shows or eXpositiOnS.
General-purpose breeds are bes
/ suited to most farms where the pro
| duction of both eggs and meat Is de
sired. The four most popular repre-
sentatives Of this class are the Ply
mouth Rock. Wyandotte, Orpington
and Rhode Island Red.
All these breeds. with the exception
of the Orpington. are of American or
igin. They are characterized by hav
ing yellow skin and legs, and la
hrown-shelled eggs. The Orpington i
of English origin, has white Skin
and ats. lays brown-sllelled eggs. Yo
