Birds kept under such con conditions - ditions conditions could not be expected to give satisfactory returns In either eggs or fertility. Witli au open front hou84 they have. all the advantages of the pure air obtained by sleeping in the open and none of the disadvantages. They are well protected by the tight roof overhead and the snug back and sides of tlielr roosting quarters. The cold, chilling wind cannot reach them, and storms cannot Injure them. Of the mauy types of fresh air poul poultry - try poultry houses the following rank as the best example! of satisfactory buildings for breeding and laying stork: The Maine experiment station curtain front poultry house, the Tolmau 8 by 14 colony fresh uir poultry house, the J.

Brlcault'a convertible poultry house, possess possessing - ing possessing a two part door In the frout of each pen, the upper half of which may be made to give place to a burlap or muslin screen. Nearly all closed poul poultry - try poultry houses may be adapted to the fresh air plan by simply substituting a screen of heavy unbleached muslin for the upper half of one wiudow In the south front of each pen, provided the house possesses suftlcicnt depth to per permit - mit permit the birds to 'roost In the rear por portion - tion portion without being exposed to direct drafts. Preparing Bird For Kxhibllloa. WusU'iuk white birds Is one of the greatest acroiuplisliiuents of an ex exhibitor, - hibitor, exhibitor, and few there be that possess the accomplishment, says Farm Poul Poultry. - try. Poultry. The few that do possess the se secret - cret secret have an advantage at the start that la hard to overcome. The most successful exhibitors of white birds wash in tlu-ee waters a very warnt water wrViiT lots of suds made with soup or soap bark In a great majority of cases; a second tub which contains water which bus had the chill taken off and is perfectly clean (this forms the flrst rinse); the third tuj forms the second rinse and Is perfectly cold. This Is generally the final rinse, but all the sonp must be got out or the feathers will curl. The drying room must be kept close to 90 degrees F. The birds are gen generally - erally generally allowed to dry overnight. They are then gradually accustomed to the normal temperature. Some of the best washers give repeated washings. Ammonia Is often used In small quan quantities - tities quantities In the washing water. Mark the Turkey. One should mark their turkeys for future identification. The leg band bearing your initials or number can be readily placed on the shanks of young turkeys about the time they begin to wander far from borne, says Feather. Some mark their turkeys by clipping the toe nails or one or more toes or dif different - ferent different toes. Many different brands of markings can be made use of by this means. The toe punch may be used and identification marks stamped trough the toes. Some use n rubber stamp and indelible ink to braud the wing feathers. This cannot be de depended - pended depended upon. A needle and Indelible Ink may be used to prick au Indelible Ink mark In Into - to Into the web of the flesh and skin at the union of the pinion with the second Joint of the wing. This can be done and the mark never obliterated. How to Kill Fowls. The best method of killing a fowl la by seizlug it by the feet with the left band and by the head with the right and then stretching Its neck with a jerk to the utmost extent and at the same time bending Its head back backward, - ward, backward, so as to dislocate Its neck and sever the spinal cord. A fowl may be killed by holding It In the left hand with Its head hanging down downward - ward downward and then striking it a hard blow on the back of the head with a heavy stick, like a ruler, or It may be killed quickly by chopping off Its head. It may also be killed quickly by twisting the neck until It Is dislocated and the spinal cord severed. , . . . An Excelleat Flaa, lo my opinion. It would be better for a farmer with a flock of 300 to 400 to pat his pullets In one flock and bens for breeders in another, saving the best laying pullets for the next year, and buy his males of a fancier or breeder that is. In breeding for egg production and market fowls instead of haying -Kamall pens and trying fo breed his own cocketeW, says a fancier In Reliable rouitry journat pe coma puy or tne same man each year and so be tn one train, - - " ' , ' Dm a Spray Paaiav.v.. : No one should -attempt td keep poul poultry - try poultry In a good pm If by condition without a epraylng apparatus for throwing In Insecticides - secticides Insecticides Into tlie est boxes, crevices and about the. rt tng places In the henhouse.

for men of the Taft type of states men. Senator Foraker is a fight er, and will keep at it ; but he fights on the wrong side. In his present effort to put Roosevelt "in a hole" he will come out sec ond best, for the American peo ple have faith in their chief mag istrate; but very little in Ohio's great senator. We are glad that Taft has con concluded - cluded concluded to accept the Republican nomination if tendered to him. That clears the political atmos phere. A thousand pities if a few political enemies shall be able to prevent the nomination of the upright, able, fearless Judge Taft. Long Live The Kins! is the popular cry throughout European countries; while in A merica, the cry of the present day is "Long live Dr. King's New Discovery, King of Throat and Lung Remedies!" of which Mrs. Julia Ryder Paine, Truro, Mass., says: "It never fails to give immediate relief and to quickly cure a cough or cold." Mrs. Paine's opinion is shared by a majority of the inhabitants of this country. New Discovery cures weak lungs and sore throats after all other remedies have failed ; and for coughs and colds it's the only sure cure. Guar anteed by Wm. Kipp's Sons, druggists. 50c and $1.00.

The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfect form and features. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist's model, possesses those rare qualities that all the world admires; neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that sprightliness of step and action that accompany good health.

Our Christmas passed off nice ly and Santa brought us a nice pair of slippers and other articles of real value as keepsakes. Trade in our city was never better, the cash sales far exceed exceeding - ing exceeding former years. On Saturday next, J. Wilber Chapman will begin a series of meetings at the M.

The weather has been very nice, un two or three mornings last week the mercury dropped to eight degrees below ; one per person - son person who came to Portland to win winter - ter winter said his thermometer showed twelve below but he was from North Dakota. That was only a chilly blast or the switch end cf a Dakota blizzard. You can't get a North Dakota man to say it is cold up there. It is now raining, with a prospect for cool cooler - er cooler weather. Tomorrow we will have to be content with the common barn barnyard - yard barnyard fowl for our dinner, but in a few days we will be on the mountains where perhaps we can get corn bread, sweet potatoes and possum. Quite a number of young peo ple were married last week and we hope Dan Cupid did his work so well that the courts may not sever a single marriage tie. Health seems very good here so the undertakers can enjoy the holidays without interruption. We were sorry to hear of the death of John Townsend.

Another year is numbered with the past, and it is deemed a sea season - son season in which we usually take a retrospect of what has been ac complished during the year. It will be well if all can find their year devoid of failure, and if not full as containing some good deeds done, useful to self or some oth er one. It would doubtless make a strange looking account if per mitted to look through the inven tory of each individual person. It is probably well that such in sight is denied us. It will be sufficient for each to take a view of his own life, and ascertain whether it. has been what it should or might have been. In addition to taking a review of the past it is also the opportune time to cast about to see whether the year upon which we are a bout to enter can not be improv ed upon. It is said that New Year's day is $he time to make resolutions of reform, which is all very well to determine upon, jut to execute these resolves is iar more important than to make

Let every person resolve upon a bet better - ter better life for the year to come, u then use his best endeavor to make it a reality. Let every one improve upon his past life. On Christmas Eve our M. E. Sunday school gave an exe'lent entertainment and received the usual treat, and at same time the occasion was improved to bestow gifts, and a few, of course, were exchanged. H. M. Dershem's class presented him with a chair. Of course, the class realized that their teacher is growing in years and needs seasons of repose, and doubtless, could conceive nothing more suitable than a chair in which to recline and enjoy ex exemption - emption exemption from the vexations of daily toil. Mr. Dershem, of course, appreciated both the gift and the motive inspiring it. On yesterday our M. E. Sun Sunday - day Sunday school elected officers for the coming year, as follows: P. B.

their old candidate, W. J. Bryan. To be sure, his pronounced views anent government owner ownership - ship ownership of the trunk railroads have cooled the ardor of many of his old friends, and made for him some new admirers; but still, the Democratic party has no other man to take his place with equal chance of election. There are many well known Democrats who, if elected, would make ex excellent - cellent excellent chief magistrates, but Bryan is head and shoulders a a-bove - bove a-bove them all in public esteem, - and of necessity will have to be nominated. His election is quite another matter. His calling is quite sure, his election is not so sure. The Republicans, as things look now, -will put in nomination Wm. Howard Taf t. A great effort has been made to induce President Roosevelt to run again, but he firmly, and as we think, wisely declines. He has been a strong, brave, strenuous chief magis magistrate. - trate. magistrate. Will go down to history as one of great celebrity. The civilized world everywhere holds him in admiration, and future generations will joyfully revere his name. He has had his time and opportunity, and is willing to step down and out desiring to see elected a worthy successor. Who is more worthy than Judge Taft? We can think of no one. He is a clean, patriotic, and able statesman, a man who has ad adorned - orned adorned every station he has been called to occupy. As judge, gov governor - ernor governor of distant and troubled isl- v ands in the Pacific, as Secretary of War, as pacifier of Cuba ; in brief, in all his occupations, he has been a conspicuous success.
