The Republican Party in Alas Ka, has nominated it's candidates at the primary election held in this Territory on April 27tn, 1882. No Territorial platform having been promulgated by any party convention or other body of Republicans authorized to f!o so, the party organization feels that it is proper to state the principles upon which the party appeals to the people for SUD- port at the general election to be held in the Territory on November 9th, 1882. Having con- suited the various candidates the following platform is issued as representing the general principles upon which the Re- publican Party asks support this Fall:
 :. We will support and abide by the principles enumerated by the Republican Party in the Ma tional Platform adopted at it's National Convention in Chicago on June IS, 1882, and in this o1l, Territorial Platform adoptoa this year.

Hatchery Best Method
of Maintaining Flock

There are three principal ways by
which poultry fiocks are maintained
from year to year. These are: the
sitting hen, the farm incubator, and
the hatchery; and the most satisfac-
tory source of chick supply is the
hatchery, because Of the fact that the
whole problem of brooding, rearing
and production, being on a highly uni
form basis, Is simplified.
A farmer is not really in the poul-
try business until he has at least 100
laying pullets. A flock Of at least this
size makes it possible for him, par
ticularly if located near large mar
ket, to sell his eggs direct to the re-
taller, getting the benefit of higher
prices than are possible when eggs
are sold through the usual trade chan
nels.
To ensure a pullet flock Of 100 birds
in the fall it is necessary to start with
around $50 chicks. Where chicks are
purchased from the breeder hatchery
or the commercial hatchery any de-
sired number can be started at given
time, and the problem Of management,
brooding, rearing and feeding is sim
plified. What is more important. the
pullets in the flock mature at the same
age and go into the laying house in
condition suited to high production.

GOOD QUALITY HAY
IMPORTANT TO COW
Animals Choice Should Be
Guide to Dairyman.

BY PROF. e. 9. SAVAGE. New York state
College of Asriculturs.-wNU Service
A cows preference is for the kind
Of hay that saves dairymen money.
Hay is. after all, the basis and foun-
dation of the ration. Silage and grain
are really supplements to the hay and
are the expensive parts of the ration.
so good quality hay makes more dol
lars possible from the silage corn and
the purchased grain.
Good hay should be soft, have a good
taste, not be too coarse, not be musty
or mow-burned, not be bleached, have
all Of its leaves, and should be clean.
Early cutting helps meet all OF these
requirements. Soft hay is easy to eat
and is not coarse, hard, and brittle like
late cut hay. The early cut hay tastes
better, and in addition has more pro-
TEN. Late cutting may increase the
total tonnage but the loss in palata-
bility will be greater than the loss in
tonnage.
In ideal haymaking, the hay should
he cut one day, handled as little as
possible, and be dry enough to put in
the barn the next day. When hay is
cut, cooked up for several days, and
then drawn to the barn, both labor
and leaves are wasted and the taste Is
not improved

Matter of Rations Not
to Be Treated Lightly

Whether the dairyman shall mix his
own feeds or buy ready-mixed rations
Is still an important question. Before
it is definitely decided the dairyman
should ask himself these questions:
1. Are the feeds he can buy as good
as are contained in the ready-mixed
rations?
2. Is it possible to secure a contin-
uous supply of large variety Of in
gradients?
8. Can the ingredients be mixed as
thoroughly as they are in the CONNER
cial mixtures?
Undoubtedly he may be able to mix
ton at less money than he will have
to pay for similar commercial mix
ture. but when all things are consid-
cred there may not be the advantage
that formerly existed. The last few
years have witnessed a wonderful
change In the quality Of mixed feeds
offered for sale. This improvement OF
quality has removed one OF the rea-
sons for home mixing. 1t also means
that better feeds are being used In our
commercial rations.
Low-quality feeds are still on the
market and many Of these find their
way, as separate ingredients, to retail
dealers. When dairyman buys feeds
for home mixing, he should be sure OF
quality or his supposed savings on the
ton price may prove loss at the pail

Darkens Hen Nests

Hens on the George Wehrman farm,
Sumner county. Kansas. used to break
lot of eggs. Hens ready to go on the
nests would fly on the steps and fight
with hens that were on the nests and
the result was cracked and broken
eggs. Mr.. Wehrman stopped that loss
by attaching burlap to the top Of the
nests and letting it hang down over
the front. Now hens fly to the end
Of the step. walk along the step until
they find an empty nest and enter 1t,
instead of trying to take nest that
already is occupied. Seemingly hen
doesn't like to have her feathers
ruffled. That is what happens to her
II she backs against the burlap to fight
another hen. 1t is probable that the
darkness created by the burlap also
has a tendency to lessen the fighting.

Biblical Stories Tell of Nimrod as Hunter

Hunters are called Nimrods from
Genesis 1919 where Hams grandson
Nimrod is referred to as "a mighty
hunter before the Lord" The pre-
ceding verse says that Nimrod "began
to be mighty one in the earth"
passage which John Skinner, the
Bible commentator, interpreted as 'the
originator of the idea of the military
state, based on arbitrary force" In
the context it is stated that 'the be-
ginning of his kingdom was Babel"
which was Babylon, and in Micah g
"the land of Nimrod' is mentioned as
being in the entrances" of Assyria.
Although these references to Nimrod
are undoubtedly derived from some
ancient Babylonian saga, and many
attempts have been made TO identify
him with various historical or legend
airy personages known through other
sources, no equivalent of the name
has ever been found on any Of the
cuneiform records excavated in AS
syria. Bible scholars are not agreed
as TO just what is meaLt by Nimrod's
being "a mighty hunter before the

OPEN SEASON NOW
FOR WAR ON PESTS
Get Rid of Mites and Collect
More Eggs.

BY c. F. PARRISH. Extension Poultryman.

WNU Service.
During the rush season, owners Of
farm focks of poultry forget the birds
and as result mites and lice get to
work with resulting decrease In the
number of eggs laid. and the effort OF
the chickens to roost on a tree limb
rather than in the poultry house.
This is the season when the annual
war begins between mites on the one
hand and eggs on the other. Poultry
men act as spectators but pay stifr
admission price to witness the battle.
Neglect Of the fiocks at this time in
vites enemies Of good poultry hus-
bandry to get busy, and chief among
these is the well-known mite. The in
sect infests poultry houses, usually
hiding away under the perches during
the day but preying upon the birds
at night, sucking their blood, lowering
their vitality and thereby decreasing
egg production.
Here are some Of the ways in which
not nail down the roost poles fast to
the supports. If they are nailed, knock
them loose. Then spray the roosts,
and the whole house, if needed, with
old burnt cylinder oil mixed with
equal parts Of kerosene.
Second, paint or spray the roost
with carbolineum, as recommended in
Farmers Bulletin S01 of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Past history shows that mites have
won every war in which they have en-
gagged unless outside aid is given, and
now that every source of farm income
is needed by the owner, time should
be given to eradicate poultry parasites
to the extent that the birds may give
their highest production.

Grain With Grass

Even though the milking herd may
be on excellent pasture, it is ecOnOm-
ical to feed grain to the cows which
are producing more than two and one
half gallons per day. When the cows
are first turned on pasture, the winter
grain ration should be continued with
all animals and gradually reduced
through two weeks. Then continue TO
feed to the high producers lover two
and one-half gallons) one pound OF
grain mixture for each five to seven
pounds of milk. A good mixture Is
500 pounds of corn and cob meal, 500
pounds of ground oats and 100 pounds
of cracked soybeans. Another Is 800
pounds of corn and cob meal. 800
pounds of ground oats and 200 pounds
Of wheat bran.-Wallace's Farmer.

1t was started to keep men who could
not keep records in the standard test
ing groups Under this plan, the
samples are mailed to the laboratory
at University farm one day each month
In sample boxes provided by the state
wide association.
The owner receives by return mail
an individual production record on
each COW. The record Is private,
simple and cheap. costing only S1-25
per month for herds with up to 10
cows, or S13 per year. One dollar
more per year is charged for each cow
over 10. 1t costs only about one-third
of pound Of butterfat month TO find
out whether the cow is returning s. or
SIS for the month. At the end OF the
year each man receives a herd book
summarizing the record Of each cow In
the herd.

DAIRY FACTS

Poultry Hints

Provide roosts for the young grow.
ing birds. When these are available
they will not pile up at night and
smother in the hot corners of the
brooder houses.
Providing plenty of shade for the
yards is one way of protecting the
flock from the hot weather. II there
is not sufficient natural shade, arti-
fetal shelter can easily be provided
with boards, canvas, or brush.
Prevention is the safe way to raise
turkeys. Keep the old birds away
from the young. Hatch eggs In an In
cubator.
There Ii no profit in feeding hens
which do not lay, and this is the sea-
son when many decide to go on vaca-
ton. Learn to pick out the slackers
and sell them for meat.
Feeds which are processed the least
and which represent more nearly the
whole product are safest to use when
making chick ration.
Poultry and eggs possessing a
standard type are meeting with in
creased demands on the consuming
market.
The demand for young pullets is in
creasing every year and the trade in
them can be made highly profitable
to the producer.
Recent Michigan tests show that
while artificially heating the laying
house for the poultry flock increased
egg production, yet the increase was
not enough to be profitable.
