Aterestm- lacts About Guinea-Fowl.
According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside many poultry rais
ers are becoming interested in the i
guinea-fowl which under favorable
conditions is a profitable fowl. During
the fall and winter months a plump
guinea brings from forty to sixty ceaU
in large markets. " The guinea is an
excellent substitute for the pheasant
that wild game-bird which is so rapid
ly disappearing. The flavor of a
plump young guinea is equal to that
-f our native pheasant. . " .. " ; " - -
The guinea-fowl is a native of warm
climates arid Should be confined in
comfortable houses. Any good poul
try house that is suitable for'chickens
will do for guineas, but never keep,
guineas housed with other V poultry.
They are very abusive to hens, espe
cially r at feeding-time. A part of the
Farm and Fireside" article about them
follows: . . r":.": ' ' .'
"The guinea-hen is not a winter
layer. .Most of her eggs are laid dur
ing the spring and summer months.
Guinea hens . usually lay several
clutches of eggs before they set They
are poor setters and should never be
permitted to sit on their eggs. Some
times several guinea hens will lay in
the same nest If they 'steal' . their
nests, as they frequently do, they usu
ally lay a large nestful of eggs, and if
they set on them only a few guinea
chicks will hatch. Therefore, it is
much better jplan to use either incuba
tors or hens. ' If incubators are used a
few hen eggs should be placed in the,
incubator after the' guinea. eggs have
been set for about a week. We have
found an advantage : in this, even
when the guineas are hatched with
hens. . - .:.'"': -'.' '" '
"The young guineas are VBry wild at
first, and the chicks help to teach them
how to eat They will soon learn to
stay with the hen, however without
the chicks; - : , :
"We try to select quiet hens to set
on the guinea eggs. The eggs ;have
verv thick shells, and sometimes the
young guineas have to be helped out
This would be rather a dimcuit propo
sition where' either guinea-hens or
ugly hens were doing the hatching.
. "When part of the eggs fail to hatch
in a reasonable length of time after
they are pipped, we carefully, pick oif I
ot the eh ell so. that the young
guineas can free themselves.
"The best time to hatch guineas is
during June and July They cannot
endure much cold. ' . They may be
matched as late as September, but re
quire more care." '".''. ' ' i
THE PEACE PUBLICITY PLAJf.
i Intends to Acquaint the Country With
What the Wilson Administration Ac
complishes for the People.
Washington, D. C, (Special.)
Thos. J. Pence, who. styles himself "as
sistant to the chairman" of the Demo
cratic National Committee, but who is
in reality head of the publicity depart
ment of the administration, is sending
out a letter explaining the work which
the committee proposes to do in the
next three years. Probably the meat
iest statement in the letter is that it
will cost $75,000 a year for the com
mittee to tell the country the half of
what the new administration is doing.
Publicity is Expensive.
In the justification for the state
ment that $75,000 a year will be needed
for a campaign of- education, Mr.
Pence says that publicity is expensive
Than Mr. Pence there is no man who
knows more about publicity, what it
costs and what it will accomplish. It
Is highly probable, too, that Mr. Pence
will be "highly successful" in the pub
licity that makes known ' the need for
dollars to aid publicity, -which in the
bucketshop davs would be known as
pyramiding. What it amounts to is
that Mr. Pence will get the money and
once in possession of the money will
place it where it wil do the most good.
' Checks from good Democrats: who
want the country to know the admin
istration Is doing things for the United
States which preceding administra
tions have not done are invited to send
their checks to' A. Mitchell Palmer,
who is chairman of the finance com
mittee of the r national - committee.
Checks are to be made payable to Rol-
la Wells, treasurer. They are to pass
through Mr. Palmer's .hands so that
they can be duly recorded.

Penrosse and Mann have the loudest

wielding them. Naturally the Repub

ALU3IIMU3I IN STANLEY C0UM1
Ncrtli Carolina Expected to Become
IJI- Center for This Metal During
Year Operations Commenced on
Yadkin Hirer Where There is Said
to be Big Deposits.
(By George H. Manning.? .
r Washington, July 7 The officials
of the United States geological survey
believe that North Carolina will, dur
ing the year 1913, do a great part in
meeting the growing demand for alum
inum, through the formation pf the
Southern Aluminum company, ' which
has commenced operations on Jhe
Yadkin river, in Stanly county.
In a report of the production: of
aluminum (luring the year 1912, issued
today, the survey states that last year
there was a notable increase in the
us? of the metal, more than 65,000,000
pounds being consumed, compared
with: 46,125,000 pounds in the preced
ing year. Not only was there an in
crease in the domestic i production,
states the report but there, was a de
cided growth in 'the imports of the
metal; ; ' ' . ;;' '.Vi ,-;:' .'-'.':: 1 '
In commenting on the formation of
the Southern Aluminum company .in
North Carolina, the report of the sur
vey states: '; ;y v '
, "To meet in part the growing de
mand for aluminum, the ' Southern
Aluminum company, : with' a large
capital, has acuired a water-power,
site on Yadkin river, in Stanly coun
ty, North Carolina, and is now engag
ed in the development of the property.
The projected operations of the com
pany and '-.the additional fact that the
importation of foreign aluminum is
being, stimulated by a keen demand
promise a sufficient supply ot the met?
al in the future for consumers in the
United States. - : ;
"The Aluminum Company of Amer
ica has secured .certain riparian
rights in North Carolina and Tennes
see and is planning development of a
water power for use In an aluminum
nlant to be constructed at such point
as will insure good freight rates and
an adequate labor supply.; In, addi
tion to this expension In the South
the company Is reported to be work
ing on addition in New York, Penn
sylvania and Illinois plants." :
