My Hair is Straggly Do you like it? Then why be contented with it? Have to be? Oh, no! Just put on Ayer’s Hair Vigor and have long, thick hair; soft, even hair. But first of all, stop your hair from coming out. Save what you have. Ayer’s Hair Vigor will not disappoint you. It feeds the hair-bulbs; makes weak hair strong.

The Indianapolis Star is making an heroic effort for the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, but when it remembers all those funny things it used to say about him it has a hard time to keep a sober face. It is strange that nobody won’t take no real iuterest in Mr. Fairbanks’ little bubble except Mr. Fairbanks and his moneymade machine.

A good many persons —either straight-out Republicans or those vaccinated with Republican virus —have been fond of talking about Mr. Bryan having “grown rich.’’ It appears that he is assessed for taxation on about $50,000 worth of property of all kinds. And you can bet that be lists all he has and pays taxes to the last cent. Every dollar that he has he has honestly worked for, too.

The net earnings of the steel trust for the three months ending June 30 were $>42,000,000. Its net earnings for the jear will be about 1170,000,000. Most of this enormous profit comes out of the pockets of the American people. The tariff gives the steel trust practically a monoply of the American market and it fixeß prioes to suit itself in the United States. It has just taken a oontract to supply 12,000 tons of steel rails to Japan. These rails are to be good rails and they are sold to the Japanese several dollars less per ton than the trust charges American railroads for rotten rails. As the American public pays for the rails used in this country the excesss over what the rails are fairly worth represents the trust’s stealage. For the license to continue this stealage the trust makes large contributions to the Republican campaign fund.

Congressman Jenkins of Wisconsin is evidently an ass He declares that if the states insist on their rights they will “plunge the country into civil war,” Only a short time ago Secretary Root told the states that if they failed to exercise their rights the general government would be compelled to take things into its own bands. On the other hand Senator Beveridge has made himself ridioulous by talking about "Calhoun state’s rights.” As a matter of fact no man, north or south, east or west, who possesses ordinary common sense, is asking anything for the states which they are not entitled to nnder the federal constitution or wanting to deprive the national government of a single.power conferred upon it by that great document. Fools of the Jenkins •tripe are not fit for congressmen.

Their proper place is in some quiet—-and obscure—lunatic asylum.

The daughter of tqe president of the American Protective Tariff League is about to marry an Italian duke. Her father, who in ad* dition to being the head of the tariff league, is a New York millionaire, proudly consents to the marriage. The tariff has enabled him to get riob off of the American people by keeping ont foreign competition. Being rich he can afford to buy a duke for a son-in-law and set him up in great style abroad on American money. But this man who can import a duke for his daughter is not willing that foreign goods shall be brought into the United States to compel the trusts, by fair competition, to charge American sconsumers reaonable prioes. Like all of the tariff barons and the trust magnates he objects to any reform of the tariff which would reduce his profits and give his fellow countrymen a chance to live. With less profits in his pocket he would be a less desirable papa-in-law for some foreign idler with a title. But the tariff must be reformed, even if the Protective Tariff League does lose a few dukes and lords from the family circle.

“TRUST BUSTING.”

The Indianapolis News (Ind. Republican) says: It is all well enough to fight the trust, We believe in that and we applaud the President for every step he takes. But let us not shut our eyes to the facts; and in sober earnest now how much good has this fight done? The trusts are in business at the old Btand just the same. Perhaps under other forms or working through different methods; but the results are the same so far as the consuming public is concerned. Indeed in some instances, as we have noted prices are even higher than they were before the trusts were spectacularly dissolved. The Baltimore Sun does not overstate the situation when it declares: The President has been “trustbusting" for seven years, and if any private citizen in this whole broad land has received any benefit fiom bis evertions—if the price of any one trust-made article has been reduced by the “trustbusting” which has so delighted the country—then the market reports do pot disclose the fact, Let us not be deceived; we are going to have trusts and monopolies until w.‘ begin to tap the sources of their power—until we begin to fight them with the only effective means —that is real competition. As long as prohibitive tariffs exist men can organize completely to control the home market in such a way as to exact from the public the last penny that the “protection” permits. Reduce the tariff from robber figures to reasonable rates and the monstrous exactions of the principal trusts and monopolies will instantly vanish and the tap-roots of these unholy parasites of industry and commerce would be cut.

HOW TO JUDGE A TOWN.

A community is judged by its newspnpers. You know that if you pick up a county newspaper that is neatly printed and well filled with ads your first expression is that the paper must be printed in a thriving and wide awake town. If it is all smeared up with ink, has no ads and has a general run down appearance you size the town up as the same kind of a proposition. A town that never has anything to do in a public way, is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is selfish as to have no time from his business to give to city affairs, is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulliagbaok from any public enterprise throws boquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times preaches the funeral, sings the doxology and thus the town is buried from all sorrow and care.— Exchange.

POULTRY WISDOM.

Hint* of All Borte on tho Management ■> of Feathered Pete. There is good In every breed. Grow a crop of turnips for the ducks. Count the Chickens that you raise, not those that you hatch. Ducks should not be given com nor corniueal during hot. weather. Let the newly hatched chicks run with the hen as long as possible. The India runner is the best laying variety of the duck family. ;j§H Whoever undertakes to raise late chickens must expect to fight lice. Try hard to raise more of the chicks you batch this year than ever before. Bone fed in some shape Is absolutely necessary If you wish eggs. Neats foot oil is highly recommended as a remedy for scaly legs In fowls. Apply with a soft brush. During hot weather it is safer to run the Incubator in a cool, dry cellar than it is above ground. Vegetables are best fed in a raw state. Cut them up in a root or bone cutter and feed in troughs. During summer there should be but two regular feeds for the breeding Stock. Give grass or green stuff at noon. Watch the droppings of the poultry. Much regarding the health of the fowls can be told from their condition. Be careful of the half grown chicks. Many hens wean their young too soon, and a cold rain is sure death to them. If properly grown and cared for, the June hatched pullets will come Into profit almost as quickly as May hatched birds. A goose egg weighing five ounces will hatch a gosling that in three months will weigh from ten to eleven pounds. A good sized yard should be fenced in for the hen with little chicks until the latter are able to keep up with their mother. Plant plenty of beets or mangel wurzels. There is nothing that the poultry like better In the way of green food. Eggs that have been kept two or three weeks produce weak chickens. Better use fresh laid eggs for hatching. Put poles tn the top of an open shed for the turkeys. During warm weather they should never be required to sleep in a close roost. This hot, sultry weather be careful how you feed your little chicks. If too much feed be thrown about In a sloppy condition it may sour and cause trouble in the flock.—Farm Journal.

Fattening Fowls For Market.

The illustration herewith Is all that Is necessary to Indicate to the Intelligent reader how poultry is fattened for market In Sussex, England, a dis trict which Is said to send more high class poultry Into the London markets than all other places In England combined. The poultry fattening Industry

Is yet in its infancy in this country, and many a farmer here can add appreciably to the receipts from the sale of his poultry by putting the birds on a highly fattening diet in a coop about two weeks before sending them to market.

Selecting Eggs For Hatching.

One should be as careful In selecting eggs for hatching as In selecting parent stock. Choose medium to large eggs, as nearly perfect in shape and color as possible. Uniformly colored eggs look much better than a mixed lot and will usually sell better. Some select the short, round eggs, believing these will produce a large percentage of pullets, but the shape of the eggs has nothing to do with the sex of the chick. Continuous selection of the roundest eggs will gradually produce a strain of hens that will lay round eggs of imperfect shape.

Barley and Rye For Fowls.

Barley and rye are both excellent foods and will prove a satisfactory addition to a ration where the fowls will eat the grains readily. Some flocks seem prejudiced against barley and do not eat It readily, while others will refuse rye unless starved to it. Rye I 4 eaten much more readily when fed In the bundle. When the fowls can scratch It out of the fresh straw themselves they seem to enjoy It.

Cull Out the Poor Birds.

Cull out all undesirable stock birds. If trap uests are used the fall, winter and spring it will be found that in each flock there are several individual hens that do not quite come up to the standard set—eithfer they are poor layers or they lay eggs of an undesirable size or the color of their eggs Is not uniform. Such birds sboold now be taken out of the pens and marketed as roasters.

Ventilato the Coops.

The coops for summer chicks should be well ventilated and the chicks’ parasitic enemies kept in the background. ■There is a time betweeu the disappearance of the downy coat and growth of the first feathers when the chicks need protection from the hot sun that fairly blisters their little bare bodies.

It Cannot Be Done.

Poultry Tribune makes this bnllseye shot: “The man who can successfully keep 500 head of poultry on an acre as •round has not yet been born.”
