• BROODY HENS AS MOTHERS. IWfertbto For Chlckmi Hatched in Ml Incubator. Professor Graham of the Ontario Station considers that broody hens are preferable as mothers for chickana hatched In an incubator. “'Hie bast plan,” he says, to get the broody: bona to take the chicks is to give the hen two or three eggs out of the incubator ini the eighteenth or nineteenth day and allow her to hatch them. When your incubator a*tnh Is over take a dozen or fifteen ehickr ana and'put them Under the hen after dark. Even if they happen to differ in oolor from those she has hatched she will mother them all the same. It you give them to her In the daytime she may not do so. Waver neglect ti) give the hen a thnrough dusting before giving her any •Kgs. If there is one thing more than another that requires careful , attention in rearing young chickana, it is to keep them free from lice. If lice get upon’ them, from the hen or elsewhere, a large proportion of them will be almost sure to die.”

Nest Box for Sitting Hens.

The nest box shown in the accompanying out may be made to contain as many nests as desired* and be placed in the poultry house or any other convenient place. When a hen is set in one of the nests, and the end of the lever is slipped from under the catch on the top of the

box and the door falls over the entrance to keep out other hens. They rarely molest a sitting hen after Bhe has held exclusive possession three or four days, and the drop may be again raised. The box legs should not be over six Inches In length. The top in front of the nests, 4 to 6 Inches wide, Is a continuation of the bottom of the box. —Prairie Farmer.

Utilize the Feathers.

Many a thrifty houewlfe, who dislikes to see small things .go to waste, can- put the feathers from dressed poultry to a variety of uses. Small, soft feathers may be used for making quilts and pillows, If stripped from the quills and cleaned. The •leaning process may be accomplished by putting the stripped feathers Into a tub and covering them with •old water In which quicklime has been slacked, using a gallon of water to a pound of lime. Keep the feathers in the tub for two or three days, and stir them occasionally, Squeeze them out, put In strong paper bags and place them In a warm place to dry. % If the feathers are to be used In quilts, they should be first put Into heavy tloklng, and the ticking covered with silk sateen, or whatever la to be used for the outside. If the ticking Is rubbed: thoroughly with a piece of soap that has been dipped in- water often, the feathers will not be so apt to work out Turkey wings were an Important factor In many old-fashioned southern homes, and In many localities cf Virginia and Kentucky now, every hearth has its special wing duster which Is considered vastly superior appropriately bound In red flannel to lo any machine made dust brush.— Farmers' Call.

Boy An Even 100.

Moat poultry breeders who raise eggs In any quantity sell them at a discount In 100 lots. These are not very often from their very beat hens, hat that makes no matter, for they will hatch good pure blood ehlokens* The farmer who wants pure bloods to Improve the money-making qualifies of his stock does not need 99 pointers. As to the hatching qualities of eggs that are shipped, the writer would say: At one time we had 108 eggs that were sent from Los Angeles and we got a hatch of K chick. That number of chicks will give a person « fine start for the next year, and It Is muoh better tor the beginner to buy cheaper eggs hy the hundred, where capital Is lhnltod, than to buy the 910 a setting kind.—lndiana Farmer.

“What do you do with all that fruit you’re carrying home?” inquired the proprietor of the cigar stand. “I aea you with a crate about every other day.” “I keep pigs,” replied the regular cuataaaer. “I find it hard work sometimes to tempt their appetites, but they generally likf a. .little fresh fruit.- The raspberries that I tried them on yesterday seemed to please them, so I thought Td take ’em some more. Raspberries are fattening, too, and give the pork a nioe flavor. You take a bog that’s been fed on raspberries ” “Oh, out it out,” said the cigarstand maw. “But, honest, how large a family have you got?” "Myself and the madam,” replied the regular customer. “She’s preserving. When it comes to putting up fruit that’s where the lady shines.” * “She puts up the fruit and you put up the money,” suggested the cigar stand man. “That’s the -idea,” said the regular customer. “I furnish the fruit and the glass jars and the rubber bands and the sugar and pay the gas bills and she does all the rest. It’s division of labor. Tine business.” “I don’t believe it pays to put up fruit.” Bald the cigar stand man. “We find it cheaper to buy what preserves we ned. Just about as good, too.” “You must be crazy,” said the regular customer. “Cheaper! Bay, all these berries coet me is 10 cents a box, buying them down on the street. It doesn’t take me mere than hour or so to go there and get ’em either and the walking’s good exercise. There’s a little outlay for Jars, of course, bust If you can manage to keep them - they’ll do to use again. The sugar’s a trifle. I can buy quite a sack of it for a flve-dollar bill.” “Well,” said the cigar stand .man, “If you figure that up and your time and your wife’s time, how do you stand then?” . “My wife’s time really doesn’t count,’’ said the regular customer, “when she’s busy preserving, which Is most of the summer, and fall, she can always make a little time by just throwing a snack of some sort da the table for dlnnSr instead of putting in aa hour or so cooking a meal.

If you came to the house, for instance, you’d get some raspberry preserves for supper. You'd naturally say that it was the best that you ever tasted when the lady told you that she’d make it herself.

SHE SCOFFED AT LOVE

".Love!” she scoffed as they walked along the path beneath the shadows. '“'“Whereupon he suddenly made a gesture of infinite corroboration. „ “I hate the word!” she sniffed. “Love!” he gently scoffed, urgently scoffs the echo. “Love!” she cried. "Every one always begins talking of love. Oh, if there were only no such thing U love, how much happier we would be! If we could only love each other like children !” “Ah yes!” he echoed In a low vibrating tone of ecstasy, “Like children!” And u she looked at him through the gloom with a maximum of wonder and a modicum of disbelief, he made a polished gesture and continued— “Ah, yes! Like children! It hu always been my wish and my ambition to love like children! -What joy to see them at their Juvenile sports. Ah, they are the happy days! So young! So innocent! So free from every care!” And as she peeped around to see his face in the darkness a pussywillow drew a velvet finger underneath her chin and, when she Jumped back with a start of alarm, he caught her grasping hand. “Like children!” he murmured. “Like children!” And when she tried to draw her hand away he started swinging It Instead. “Like children!” he gayly repeated. “Ah, that has been my Ideal all my life! Like children! But, alas!” and of sadness swept his tones. ”1 have not found any one to share my thoughts till sew. Till now! Ah, how happy we’ll We will laugh at care together like children —you and I. Like children, remember! Always like children!” And silently then they walked along together, hand In hand, and If she gave his hand an occasional answering squeeze, at least It was only perhaps in an Infantine sort of way. “I cut my finger this morning,” he smiled at last. “See? Right hero. I was shaving and the razor slipped. Right here. Can you see it?” “Take It away,” she cried, holding her head back. And in the wheedling, falsetto of. childhood—“Tlsb It!” he implored, ’“Tisa it and make it well!” ”I*ll do no such thing!” she cried with spirit. “Like children!” he meaningly repeated to her. “Like children, now!” “Don’t be silly,” she laughed. "Like children!” he whlsped. “Bomember what you said! ” "Don’t be silly!” she smiled. “Like children!” he repeated. “Come!” “Don’t be silly!” she breathed. “There! Now let’s walk on!” “But I cut my lip, too!” he eagerly whispered, holding her hand as she started forward. "Right here! Can you see?” _ "No, I can’t!” she faintly protested. “And I don’t believe you did, either!” “You’re not loking!” he reproached her through the darkness. *Now! Can’t you see ?*’ And as he bent his head a little nearer, and a little nearer and a little nearer, still bolding her hand—like children—while the crickets all stopped ehfrping and- the katydids held their breath for very breathlessness. a faint chirp floated upward to the listening ear of night, followed but never quite overtaken by a fainter child-like ejaculation—-"Why-y-y-y-y-y-y-y, Mr. Go bang!” —New York Sun.

Earth as a Food.

The consumption of earth as food Is common not only in China, New Caledonia, and Hew Quines, but In the Malay Archipelago as well. The testimony of many travelers in the Orient Is that the yellow races are especially addicted to the practice. In Java and Sumatra the clay need undergoes a preliminary preparation for consumption, being mixed with water, reduced to a paste, and the sand and other hard substances removed. The day Is then formed Into small cakes or tablets as thick as a lead pencil. The Javanese frequently eat small figures roughly modeled from clay which resemble animals or little men, turned out in pastry shops.

Australia's Wild Oysters.

Oysters are sometimes regarded as dangerous but they are not usually considered savage. A Queensland Judge, however, has decided that they are wild beasts. Before s royal commission on the pearling Industry, which has been sitting at Brisbane, a witness stated that eight years ago be had laid 100,000 sheila In the neighborhood of Friday Island. The Japanese stole the shells, and the district court Judge held thst as pearl shall oysters wsre wild animals there was no penalty for stealing them.

CHINAMEN FLOCK TO UNITED STATES

Commissioner Would Registei All Here Now, Afterward Deport Those Without Papers WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC CHECKED Laborers on Sugar Plantations In Hawaii Found* to" Be in a State of Vassalage—Mormons Still Coming. Washington, D. C. —CommissionerGeneral of Immigration Keefe in his annual report to Secretary Nagel laid special stress on Chinese Immigration, labor conditions In Hawaii and the status of the international white slave traffic. The business of smuggling Chinese into this country has been growing steadily in spite of the efforts of Inspectors. Most of the Celestials come over the Canadian border. Owing to the length of the border, Mr. Keefe reports It Is Impossible for his agents to keep these activities within bounds. Last year more than 8,000 Chinamen landed in Canada. A great percentage of these have entered the United States. The Government has fifty-five cases In court at present, but this does not represent a fraction of the number who 1 have entered this country. The ease with which Chinamen can get into the United States from Canada has caused an Increase of more than 100 per cent in the number of immigrants who have entered the Dominion within the past five years. Canadian statistics give 22,000 Chinamen residents, although it Is known that two or three times that number have entered the country in the past decade. The others have been smuggled across the American border. Mr. Keefe advises Secretary Nagel that the only way to handle the Chinese situation Is to register all Celestials now In this country, Irrespective of the manner of their entry, and to allow them all to stay here. He will suggest that Congress then pass a law that every Chinaman found without registration papers ho exported. Mr. Keefe reports that more than 1,000 arrests have been made under the Mann White Slavery act, and that the Government has been successful In stamping out the scourge in Its most virulent form, bnt that the department needs more Inspectors. After a two months’ trip In Hawaii, Mr. Keefe made a report to Secretary Nagel on labor conditions jon the sugar plantations, severely arraigning the great land owners for keeping the greatest part of the population in a state of vassalage; He wishes Congress to take action to remedy the “commissary store” system, by which the underpaid laborers are deprived of their meagre earnings by overcharges for foodstuffs. United States Immigration Inspector John Clark of Montreal conferred with Secretary Nagel. One of the subjeots under consideration was Mormon Immigration. Officials say the Immigration of this class has dwindled greatly during the last year owing to the activity of the English authorities, who have thrown every obstacle In the way of the missionaries from Utah, but that there is Still an occasional influx of Mormons.

LOSES LIFE WADING FOR DUCK.

Gunner's Body Recovered With Game Tightly Gripped. Scranton, Pa.—With a dead duck Clutched tight In hie right hand, Michael Shearn, of Simpson, was taken from the botton of the Belmont Reservoir, after his dog had kept the neighborhood awake most of the night whlnnlng. On the bank were Shearn’s clothes and a shotgun with one barrel empty. The duck In his hand had been shot, and, putting the circumstances together, It was concluded that Shearn had shot the duck, and when it dropped Into the water he determined to have it, so stripped and plunged In, but must have been overtaken by cramps and sunk.

REPUBLICAN TICKET AND GOOD GOVERNMENT

City Election Near at Hand- and Campaign Tendencies Are . Toward Republican Ticket. The election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 4th, and there is an evident trend toward the republican ticket, Which was nominated with the sole object of naming men with; ability to administer the affairs of the city in a capable and businesslike manner. 4 ‘ 1 Voters know that there is not much in polities in these elections. The majn thing is to procure good and dependable men for the places. This has been done by the republicans, whose largely attended convention secured the men wanted by the vast majority of party adherents. Charles G. Spitler, the head of the ticket. is a capable man. a man of precision for correctness and fairness and regarded by all as the best informed man about the affairs- of the city of any man in Rensselaer. Having served for many years as a member of the city council and shown there the disposition to, be fair with all and to advocate those measures of progress that the people were demanding and had reason to expect. Mr. Spitler is a man who believes in, enforcement of the law and that is probably the most important thing in relation to the administration of the affairs of our city. It would be calamatous to have it otherwise. He will, if elected, be the plain mayor of the people, desiring above all to give our city an able, clean administration. The Republican believes be has every quality necessary for the office and that he should receive the votes of all who favor good government, careful business control of the affairs of the city, and the proper dignity that is expected of tlje town’s chief executive. The councilmanic candidates havebeen selected with a view to their business ability and their standing at citizens. Ray Wood, Rex Warner, Prank Kresler, Frank Tobias and Frank King are of the highest standing in every walk of citizenship, They will represent the taxpayers with never forgetting responsibility. They are the men we need to carry on the splendid woTk of the present progressive administration. Charles Morlan is the Ideal man foT city clerk. He'b'as filled the office with ability for several years and his/precise reports of the proceedings of the -council, his punctilious care of the work ordered by the council and the convenience of his location at the court house make him extremely desirable. In addition to this is the fact that he deserves the office from the fact that he has proven so capable in the past and because he needs the office in connection with his other work, and can care for his two jobs without any neglect to either. Ml Morlan is of that daiss of Worthy citizens for whom it pleasure to vote and he should be given the aid of all wbo believe that well rendered service and good citizenship deserves support. Charles M. Sands for city treasurer. is also a capable and deserving man. He is located right for the convenience of the public, being at the. State bank. He is a bookkeeper and a competent man elerieally, and both are essentials of the office he seeks. He meets up in the matter of citizenship to the high standards of the entire ticket. We trust that every reader of The Republican and every voter will consider the respective abilities of these candidates and vote for the best men for the places.

Nothing was said about terms, but when they were mentioned Miss Brooks asked $1 a minute to speak for two hours. The women objected. Mrs. Catherine Wolfe, the dhftrlct organizer, said that Mrs. Washburn might speak for two hours, but the women could not stand the price. •

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

if )ou want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia, use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never result* from a cold when Chamberlaln’a Cough Remedy is used. It has a world wide reputation for its cures. It eontains no morphine *or other sedative. For sale by A. F.

FORE RANK FARMER OPPOSES CALF SAVING

Says That Dairy Cattle Product Will Cost More to Two Years Than Their Valne. Chesterton Tribune. J. E. Bowell, for years one of the men in Laporte county wbo has been always in the front In all things which make for progressive agriculture, does not believe that the scheme which has been proposed to pass a law to prevent the killing of calves until they are at least two years of age Will help in lowering the price of meat. Mr. Bowell says that the advocates of this law do not realize what the practical farmer is up against. He said that the cost of keeping Jerseys and other calves of the small cattle breed would be more than the increased price would be when they get older. He said it would mean that the smaller variety would eat up more than they are worth. It is necessary, however, he explained, to 'have this class of cattle, as they are usually the class that produce the; most milk: —However; Mr. Bowell does not believe that the keeping of calves except for mileh cows or breeding purposes would be profitable. He thinks it might be profitable when it comes-to the larger cattle, but these,-he says, do not give the milk that some of the other breeds produce and as a rule the calves are kept anyway, either by the man that owns them, or by some big stockbuyers who purchase them when small. Mr. Bowell thinks that the principal way to solve the high price of meat problem ,is to teach the termers that it is profitable to raise cattle.

Must Look Elsewhere For Thanksgiving Football Game.

Curtis high school football team has disbanded and the Rensselaer high school will have to look elsewhere for a game. They had been scheduled to play here on Thanksgiving. having been our opponents for several years. There will probably be some difficulty In securing a game for Thanksgiving and it has been suggested that if no outside game can be, arranged for, a team composed of “has-beens" be organized for the contest with the high school There are several notables amilable, some of whom have starred In colleges since playing here, among them John Morgan. Ray Hopkins. Jay Nowels, Charley Porter, Lloyd Parks, Don Beam. John Robinson. Devere Yeoman, Rice Porter, Roea Porter, Carl Duvall, and probably several others. Many of them are anxious for the fray and It would probably dray'out a great crowd. • ul " FOUND—The surest method of making a sale; advertise In The itepublicau classified column.
