FEEDING FOWLS
_DRY FOOD.
Housewivcs rtru'd Adopt This
Plan for fc?gs and Healthy
ChicKs.
PUT THIS IN YoUR DIARY TILL SPRING.
One of the greatest claims made by
the dry fccding enthusiasts is that the
mortality in growing chicka is far leas
than with the wet mash system. It
may be necesaary to explain for the
informaton of aome, that the term "dry
f t->jin?" io uppiicd to the useof gronnd
o??rn, oata, or any other grain; beef
8j?ap, bran, etc, without mixing it
with water, skimmed milk or any
liquid of any kini, and that thia mash,
so called, is left beforo tha fuwls all of
h<> time, allowing them to help them
ttlvca at will. One great thing about
thia way U that the weaker fowls have
a chance togct their fill, whereaa when
you throw down wet bonj meul mash,
the strong ones generaliy gtaajaj them
selves and the weaker mttd get very
little.
The dry feeding syatcm li a labor
?aver. with it you can contont your?
self, knowing the chickens nced not ro
hungry if the help forgeta to give their
ilotment of grain in the evening.
Sloppy food becomea aour very quickly;
unleas you keep the trougha or feed?
ing placea very clean you will have
dickneas amongst your fowls.
If you want to fatten your fowls for
market it becomea almost necesaary to
ise wet mashes, aa they will undoubt
edly eat more and fatten up quicker
than if fod on thr* r!ry s^siem. From
tcn days to iwo weeks of this is all
that is necesaary, though, for you will
find thatafter two weeks their appetite
will fail them if you have fed heavily.
In July the writer took twenty chick?
ens as near alike as possible and put
ten in one run, uaing the dry system,
and ten in the other, feeding these wet'
mashes. At tha end of four months'
the we*t mash fed pulleta showed a
small gain in their weights over the dry
fed ones. But in the dry fed pen there
had never betn a sign of one of the
pulleta "out of condition," while in the
wet maah pen there was quite a little
trouble at different timee with loose
bowela.
By carefully kept rocorda there ia a
marked eaving in the dry system.
When you throw out wet corn meal,
etc., there is alwaya a lot of it tramp
led under foot. This, together with
what geta sour, ia a total waate. In
your dry hopper the food alwaya re
mains sweet and clean, and if your feed
hopper is made right theie is little or
no waste. Another point of the dry
hopper system is that you can give your
fowis a change in feed with so little
trouble. Uee corn nieal and bran one
lime, then in three or four days you
can fill it with ahipatuff and alfalfa
meal, etc. The labor-saving part is the
crowning part of the system that over
comes any argument against it The
wrtter saves from one to two hours
every morning stnce installing the dry
feeding exciuaively.
HONOR TO THE SBNATOR
Following up our recent editorial on
what Governor Swanson had done for
our public schools (not to mention hia
"good roads" record), we extract the
foiiowing from the Virginia Journal of
Education:
SENATOR CLAUDE A. SWANSON.
Governor Mann has made no wiser
appointment or one more generally ap
proved than that of deaignating Ciaude
A. Swanson to fill out the unexpired
term of the late John W. Daniel in the
United States Senate. The readers of
The Virginia Journal of Education, we
feel sure, are specially pleased with
thia appointment, for no public rr.an in
Virginia haa exhibited more interest in
or worked harder for the up-building
of the pubiic achool system. The re
vival of the old Journal of Education
was in great measure due to the efforts
of Senator Swanson. He assurea u?
that in the futurc he will continuu to
h?\?< the humc inL*reat in and will run
tinue to work for the improvement of
the public schools in this State. Sena
tor Swanson'is a man who ia not given
to making promises and failing to keep
them. Hia ideas with referenee to the
beat means of establiahing and rnain
taining a high standard in tho public
schools are clearly set forth in his own
words which we quote as follows:
In all cases division auperintendents
Bhould be selected for their devotion to,
and efficiency in, educational work.
Truatees ahonld invariably be men of
practical business sense, of reputation
and influence, broad minded and patri
otic, earnest in the uplifting of their
fellow man and in the progress of their
State. They should have no partisan
or selfish purposes to subserve in the
discharge of their duties. These re
sponsible positions should never be
given to solicitous persons who seek
them in order to provide places for
their daughters and relations regardless
of qualifications. They should never be
given to persons who desire the ap
pointment in order to locate a school
for their own selfish accommudation.
Those entrusted with the selection of
division superintendents and truatees
can render an ineatimable service to
the cause of education if they will sp
point only the best and mo3t worthy
men to these important ofticea, l want
the time to come in Virginia when to
be a division superintendent or school
trustee will be esteemed a high decora
tion of honor and be positive proof that
the person ia devoting his best energies
to the educational progress and pros
perity of the State.
We feel sure that Senator Swanson'a
career in the United States Senate will
he no less brilliant and successful than
was his conduct of the offke of Gov?
ernor of Virginia.
REAL NEWSPAPER WORK.
(Newport Newi Timea-Herald.)
For some time past Thos E. Watson
has been making the vilest charges
against Governor-elect Hokc Smith, of
Georgia. He finally undertook to in
duce F. L. Seely, editor of the Atlanta
Georgian, to join with him in his cru
sade against Mr. Smith. In a letter
dated October 31, he said:
"I can substantiate every charge I
have made against him?and the worst
has not been told. Before making the
accuaations public, I gave him a fair
opportunity to resign, out of constdera
tion for his wife and son; but he re
fused to avail himself of it and paid
no attention to my letter.
"His withdrawal is absoiutely de
manded for the sake of the public ser?
vice, public morals and the good of the
couutry. Think of a governor of Geor?
gia base cnough to take advantage of
his official position to wrong women
dcpendent upon their jobs for daily
bread!
"If you will back me up in this, you
can not only crush Hoke Smith's paper,
whuh does not deserve to exist, but
you can render as inestimable a service
to our ttafea as you did in your fight on
the Cv>nvk-t U'uso system.
As a public jiurnalist Mr. Seely felt
ro'istrained to investigate the charges
anrl wrotv: to Mr. Watson for hia evi
Uoace. Wathon cited him to several
persons, with each of whom he commu
nicated. One replied that he knew ab?
soiutely nothing of the charges. An
ocher declined to make a statement.
Another denounced aa falae Watson'a
statement, so far as he was concerned.
Another, a woman, made afiidavit that
Mr. Smith's conduct towarda her had
been that of a gentleman.
Editor Seely then comntunicated wilh
Watson by telephone and Watson ad
mitted that he had no proofs, aflidavi ts or
definite information to substantiate the
grave charges he had brought agaihat
Mr. Smith.
In summing up the case Mr. Seely
says:
"We believe Hoke Smith bas felt at
timea that The Georgian waa his en
cmy. We do not know what his opinion
of our action in this matter will be
Nor do we know what will be hia own
action.
"It is unbelievable to us that Mr.
Wataon could have made so grave
charges without any tangible evidence
and aolely upon hearaay, but such aeems
to be the case.
"The Georgian is compelled to aay.
however, that not the flrst suggestion
of a foundation in fact has been obtain
able, and that, after the emnloyment
of the beat talent, detective, Jegal and
: otherwise, even giving his political en
eroies every opportunity to supply facts
I or evidence, we must aay unequivocally,
i in the interest of a aquare deal. that
Hoke Smith is as innocent of miscon
duct, moral or otherwiae, as any man
in Georgia?at least, since the years of
hispublic life?and we doubt if there is
a man in the state who is intereated
beyond that at this time.''
The Georgian is a competitor of the
Atlanta Journal, which is understood
to be owned or controlled by Mr. Hoke
Smith and that Mr. Seely should have
taken the pains to inveetigate the case
and then to publish conapicuously in his
own newspaper the full text of the
evidence and his verdict of acquittal
was an act of manlinesa and chivalry
which shows him to be a gallant man
and a worthy editor. He is an honor
to the profession. ?
But what shall be said of the man
who has thua aought to destroy the
character of the Governor-elect of his
State, without a particle of proof to
sustain his infamous charge? But Mr.
i Watson is outside of our jurisdiction
i and we leave his own State to deal with
him.

I'm sailing on, I'm sailingon,

The whirling world is my good ship,

The track behind is yesterday,
Tomorrow liea before,
Fierce tempests lie along the way,
But golden ia the shore!
I'm sailing on, I'm sailing on,
From infancy to age,
And toil's the cargo that I bring
To win by heritage,
The waves of trouble buffet me,
The seaa of sorrow roll,
Yet no disheartenment shall be
To keep me from the goal.
I'm sailingon, I'm sailing on,
Through mist and atorm and rain,
Fair skies and cloudy alternate
In days of joy and pain
Where liea the port toward which I sail
I know not, near or far,
Yet of its winning 1*11 not fail,
For Love's my guiding atar!

From Evcrywherc Comcs News of
Oyster Prospcrily. Hards Times
or Years at an End.
Since Virginia has tnken such a spurt
in the paat month or ao along oyster
lines we see that pretty much the whole
Atlantic coast is rallying from the
alump of four year'sduration, that was
largely caused by the "pollution" scare.
Here are reports from other quart-rs:
Chincotague Corr. Enterprisc: Mon
day was "openingday" with our oyster
shippers, and they sent-to-market on
that day 1,500 packages of oysters,
shell and shucked, clama, &c. Our
oyatera are at the top of the market in
quality thia season and top prices are
expected for them.
The best oyster season that Criafield,
Md., has known in years is now on.
The supply of stock is greater than in
many years and of exceptionally fine
quality. Big catches are reported daily
in Pocomoke and Tangier sounds. High
prices are asked for atock and the oys
terraon are making money. Every
available boat is now in use. From the
packers' atandpoint thia season is a
record breaker. Ten new packera have
opened houses this year, and all of the
old onea are doing busi
H. C. Rowe & Co. report from their
principal office at New Haven the larg
est demand for oyaters that they have
ever experienced. They have had em
ployed more openera than ever before,
and have run both of their planta to
their full capacity, yet the demand haa
been ao much greater than ever before
that they were unable to rneet their
ordera last week by a large amount.
They intend to construct a third ship
ping plant in order to meet their steadily
increaaing trade.
Says the Fishing Gazette, N. Y.: "It
ia encouraging to be able to tell the
trade that the oyster business is ftour
ishing, as it never did in the past and
despite the occaaional "knocks" of
public paid officials. It ahows one thing
concluaively; that is that the public is
getting tired of the ao-called reformers
who never see any thing good except in
their own work. Public confidence in
the oyster has ;been fully restored.
Boaton dealers have had all they could
do up to Thankagiving. Their only
trouble waa in getting sufficient stock
to fill ordera. Providence dealers say
they have never had such a good season
and conditions which at first looked like
a hardship to the trade; have aince
turned out to be a bleaaing. The New
York oyster market has never been more
active than during the last three weeks.
Philadelphia haa had to hustle to meet
the demands of oyster eaters, while
Crisfield and other Maryland shipping
points have had calls for oysters, the
like of which made shippers open their
eyea. From Maaaachusetts to Virginia
the oyster industry is thriving. There
may be a lull for a week or ten daya,
still it will be only temporary. There
ia every indication that the Christmaa
and New Year's trade will be very
heavy.

AND SHE HAILS FROM YIRGINIA !
1 'Creating a market for herself,'' may
not sound very courteoua toward any
girl, but it seems to be the truth in the
case of the Tacoma (Wash.) young
woman who propoaea to rafflo herself
off to the prize winner in a lottery con
taining 10.000 ticketa at f 1 each, with
herself. as the leadingattraction thrown
in.
She says that she is alone in the
world, and has evolved this novel means
to "get aettled." So far, so good.
The plan itaelf has the one objection ?
that it is tooforward; but it ia unique,
and may prove a drawing card, especi
ally as ahe haa added a proviso that if
' the winner rcfuse her or she him, the
' $10,000 to be divided equally between
I them.
But, dear reader, imagine the result
if this novel mode of Mnding a husband
should ever become popular among ua.
I All that any good looking fellow would
have to do to make himself rcasonably
comfortable in life would be to risk a
dollar and await results. And the
girls! No more office or home drudg
ery! One ticket may solve tbe future.
The Tacoma girl says she fears that
the law may interfere, as lotteries are
interdicted by the Federal statutes. In
dependent of our disbelief that Btother
Wickersham could be so discourtcous,
we opine that this is- a matter that
rightfully belongs to the pulpit, and
not to a court of justice.

DEMOCRATS MUST BE WISE.
To avoid the fate that has followed
them in the past and to guard against
missteps that would wrest the prize of
the Preaidency from their eager grasp,
the leaders of the Democratic party
will gather in Washington before the
close of the short aession of Congresa to
map out cautiously the plans for clinch
ing the victory of the recent elections.
Profiting by the lessons of the past,
when Democrats playing lone hands
have placed the party in the light of
running amuck, the Democratic leaders
this time are going to make an effort
to line the msjority members of the
next Congress into a solid phalanx,
from which there will be no bolters and
no sharpshooters, looking for individual
distinclion regardless of the party's in
tereat.
The Presidency is the great prize for
whieh the Democratic party is going to
bend its every effort.
Whatever course the party will pur
sue in the next Congress will be design
ed with a view to convincing the people
of the country that the Democrats are
not reckless or disorganized, but that
they can be trusted to rule the govern
ment with sanity, economy, without
disturbing business and according to
Jefferaonian principlea.
