T
A TYPICAL DEMOOfi AT
JUDGE PARKERS VIEWS AS EX
PRESSED BY PROXY
He Is In Complete Harmony With
His Party as Regards Hatred of
Protection and the Intention to
Smash the Tariff at the First Op
portunity
Through his friend Elliot Danforth
formerly State Treasurer of New York
Judge Parker has authorized a state
ment of his views concerning ques
tions that are to enter into the na
tional campaign of 1904 Restrained
by his judicial dignity from the ex
pression of his political sentiments in
public speeches or in open letters
Judge Parker has maintained a reserve
that by some people notably his op
ponents in the race for the Democrat
ic nomination lias been construed to
indicate a neutral state of mind and a
lack of the positive assertion which
is rogaided as essential in an aspirant
for the Presidency Grounds for this
criticism disappear in the light of the
Danforth declaration Certainly no
fault can be found on the score of
vagueness with the candidates posi
tion regarding the tariff He is a
Democrat and he would therefore lend
his aid in the ripping up of the Ding
ley tariff That much is clear from
Mr Danforth s authorized exposition
In a conversation recently had with
him at Esopus Judge Parker made it
clear to me that the question of taxa
tion nov as always Is of vital im
portance to the people and that the
great mass of American producers and
consumers demand a revision of the
tariff that1 will equalize the burden oil
taxation and distribute equitably its
benefits
He assured me that he is in tavor
of reducing customs duties wherever
they shelter the trusts and wherever
they enable lawless capital to wring
extortionate prices from the consumer
Judge Parker told me that he regard-

ate prices from the consumer what
yrculd happen to the non trust produc
ers irov would they escape the con
sequences of competition in the Inflow
of lower priced commodities from for
eign mills and factories They would
not of course escape It any school
boy can see that provided he wishes
to see it Judge Parker being a Dem
ocrat does rot want to see it Hg
wants to smash the tariff that is
ho ees
Exactly the same blind adherence
to a partisan Idea is shown In the
proposition to withhold all tariff bene
fits from manufacturers who sell to
foreign consumers at lower prices than
those maintained in the domestic mar
ket It 1 3 a characteristic Democratic
proposition to smash the tariff and
abolish nrotection because an amount
not exceeding one per cent of the to
tal of manufactured products not four
per cent of the manufactured exports
of the Tfnited States is disposed of in
foreign markets at reduced prices sin
order tor deprive a few manufacturers
of the rrivilege of disposing of their
surplus production abroad at the best
prices Cbtainable a bargain counter
privilege which is exercised more re
less in every known branch of trade
It is seriously proposed to take
away all tariff protection from Hip
thousands of industrial producers
whose yearly output reaches the enor
mous total of 16000000000 That is
the Democratic idea pf a valid excuse
for attacking the tariff That is
Judge Parkers idea We think him
sufficiently explicit alike to satisfy
Democrats and to warn Republicans
Concrete Facts
One of the most flagrant misrepre
sentations of the free traders in their
attacks upon the protective system is
their persistent assumption that pro
tectionists underestimate the value or
ignore the importance of foreign trade
One of the favorite illustrations used
by the opponents of protection is that
the advocates of the protective system
propose to build a Chinese wall about
the country to shut out foreign trade

ed that feature of our tariff system
us little less than criminal
Nor would he stop there He in
sists that wherever American manu
facturers are by means of a monopo
listic tariff enabled to sell their arti
cles abroad more cheaply than at
home or rather are permitted to
charge at home prices higher than
those accepted abroad then the du
ties on all such articles should be re
duced so as to correct that injustice
to the American consumer
Being a Democrat Judge Parker
looks upon the tariff as a tax All
Democrats so consider it Nearly all
Democrats while recognizing in the
tariff a necessary means of providing
revenue contend that it should have
po other function Most of them would
prefer an income tax Practically the
entire body of the Democratic party
is antagonistic to the protective func
tion of a tariff A considerable ma
jority of Democrats are avowed free
traders while a minority seem to fa
vor some sort of protection provided
it is not the sort that protects
To the latter class Judge Parker
apparently belongs He would revise
the tariff and distribute equitably js
Benefits How We presume he does
not know The Democratic record of
distribution of tariff benefits has in
variably been anything but an equal
distribution In the Democratic scheme
of tariff making foreign producers
have never failed to reap the lions
share of the benefits while domestic
producers and domestic labor have
never failed to get the worst end of
the distribution
Judge Parker feels himself on safe
ground when committing himself to
the reduction of tariff duties on com
modities competing with trust prod
ucts To smash the trusts he would
smash the tariff Evidently he does
not consider it worth while to calcu
late the effect of that sovereign spe
cific upon GO per cent or more of pro
ducers that are wholly outside of
trusts While lowering the tariff bars
for tlie smashing of the few trusts
that arc guilty of wringing extortion-
Of course the protectionists have de
nied this from the outset and they
have shown that this assumption is
contrary to reason Every additional
year under protection however haa
given additional concrete facts to show
that there is absolutely nothing ia
this theory of the free traders Tho
exports have increased at an incred
ible rate notwithstanding the pro
tests of the theorists Marion Ind

Simple Platform for Democrats
Some Democrats recalling what
happened to their party with the
long-drawn-out declarations of Chica

short platform this year It should
be easy to comply with such a de

correctly define its position with re
gard to every important public policy
by simply adopting this plank

WEAKNESS OF STRONG MEN
No One Absolutely Free from All Man
ner of Defect
Those who are seeking througli
study of superior men to make them
selves at least less inferior are often
puzzled and baffled by the discovery
of characteristics that seem absolute
ly incompatible with greatness There
is hardly a great man whose life is at
all accurately known in whom there
was not a weakness that would de
stroy an ordinary man sometimes
mental weakness as utter lack of
judgment sometimes moral weak
ness agrin physical weakness
But is there on record a single case
of a great man who had not througli
iiis character a certain toughness of
fiber which made him free from the
common weakness of whining and
rushing about for refuge at the first
black lift of adversity Is not that
fundamental sense of insecurity or
inability to stand alone the great en
emy we all have to fight Is it not
the enemy that drives some to tho
false courage of drink others to slink
and crawl along the byways of indi
rection and crime many many others
to resign the guidance or their desti
nies to some master or masters with
hardly an effort to thing or do for
themselves Saturday Evening Post

Taught by Mistakes
We learn much from our mistakes
and the lessons Ave so learn are im
pressed upon us Every poultry-raiser
could cite a large -number of disas
trous accidents occurring as the re
sult of precautions not taken One
man had two beautiful broods of half
grown Plymouth Rocks He had them
in two coops the slats of which were
but indifferently nailed on Two cats
got in one night and slaughtered all
the feathered innocents That was a
lesson In favor of well built coops and
the owner of the said broods then
bought wire netting and made coops
that were cat proof and rat proof An
other man had a fine flock of hens
but left the door of their house open
nights as it was some trouble to shut
it A mink recognized it as his op
portunity and slaughtered 22 The
owner shut the door after that A
man we know of accidentally broke a
pane of glass in a window adjoining
the roosts of the poultry It was
March and the winds were cold and
the rains frequent He knew he ough1
to have the window fixed at once but
did not In a week two of the birds
had swelled heads and the man began
to doctor for roup But that was only
the beginning The roup had come in
through the broken window and it
staid with the flock for four months
The man fixed the broken window and
moved his fowls to a new poultry
house but the roup remained After
he had lost 4G birds he killed the 40
that remained and went out of the
poultry business for a year to give
his yards a chance to cleanse them
selves through the processes of na
ture
We knew of a man that had 200
young chicks the result of setting
three or four hundred eggs under a
large number of hens He staked each
hen in the yard and left a box for
each hen and brood to run under It
would be so nice and natural for them
to sit on the ground The ground Avas
a level grass plot bounded on two
sides by a raised walk and on the
other two sides by a picket fence
with a board at the bottom One
night there came a tremendous down
pour of rain the water falling with
such rapidity that it could not run off
the level land fast enough to prevent
the inundation of the coops surround
ed as they were by fences and walks
By the glare of the flashes of light
ning the man succeeded in saving a
part of the frightened broods After
that none of his chicks slept on the
ground
A farmer that had been raising
chickens for a good many years
thought he had learned about all there
was to learn He at least had learned
one thing Avell he believed and that
Avas that lard alone Avould kill chicken
lice without the help of kerosene
But once he wanted to save time
and instead of giving the chicks
treatments Avith grease a few
days apart decided to do the job up
at one time If a little grease was
good more should be better So he
greased the chicks all over But too
much grease is fatal to chicks and
this man lost thirteen out of sixteen
so greased But he didnt make that
mistake again
Feeding the Chicks
Many people have asked on seeing
the healthy growing well feathered
young chicks what food Ave were us
ing The Avinters experience in
which a variety of grains were used
says Cooper Curtice of the Rhode Is
land Agricultural College indicates
that it is not so much what the food
is as how the food is supplied pro
viding there are plenty of starchy
albuminous and green matters in
nature small seeds insects and grass
furnish food for chickens These are
most abundant in the spring and sum
mer months and it is at this time
that the chickens thrive To secure
the best results foods simulating both
the composition and the mechanical
character of these should be supplied
For instance in the summer the tips
of grasses are young and tender and
easily broken by the chickens For
green stuff to be easily assimilable
some plant should be supplied which
may also be easily broken We have
found hanging a head of lettuce in
the brooder by a string to exactly fur
nish the desired want and be greedilj
even crazily eaten by the chickens
We have found that sifting the crack
ed corn scraps and cracked wheat
through sieves so as to remove both
the meal and larger pieces gives
results Millet seeds broken
rice rolled oats and other things of
this character Avere greedily eaten and
well digested For meat for the
youngest chickens we have giAen the
sterile eggs boiled hard and ground
through a sausage machine While
it is preferable if one has Hme to
chop the egg fine and mix it with
bran or even feed it a little at a time
to the chickens we found it satisfac
tory to mix it Avith the bran until it
Avas crumbly and feed it in bulk a
sufficient quantity being given for the
number of chickens in the brooder
Mixing the eggs Avith cracker did not
succeed with us as well for very
young chicks although it is fed by
others apparently Avithout harm As
the chickens grew older meat scraps
Avere substituted These Avere usually
sifted added to the grain ration and
strewn upon the floor of the brooder
Boiled liver and animal meal was also
used but there was very little dif
ference in the gain of the different
chickens Avhen fed upon tkr animal
meal meat scraps or egg
Dairy Breed Steers
The attempt that is frequently made
to make beef out of dairy steers
should be abandoned except Avhore an
animal has passed his usefulness and
has to be turned off or where a cow
or calf is unprofitable to keep for
some reason A good many farmers
have been fooled by their oAvn experi
ments in this matter They have fed
such steers and have kept an account
of the gains made and have seen that
in many instances u dairy animal Avill
make as rapid gains as a beef animal
If that Avere the only test to be made
we Avould have nothing to say against
trying to make beef Avith dairy blood
At some of cur stations dairy steers
and beef steers have been fed side
by side and the dairy steer has com
pared favorably with the animal at
his side The difference came Avhen
the animal Avas marketed Then the
dairy steer was found to have put an
immense amount of fat on the intes
tines where it could be of little com
mercial value and to have a great
abundance of low priced cuts The
beef steer on the other hand Avas
found to have put much of his added
fat into the high priced cuts and at
time of being cut up for meat fur
nished a very large proportion of
these high priced cuts This differ
ence Avas so great that it amounted to
a considerable sum of money The
buyers of cattle understand this and
make due allowance Sometimes they
make more than a fair deduction as
they do not seem to care to encourage
the making of beef from dairy blood
It Avill not in the main pay any farmer
to try to raise beeves from dairy cows
Shorten the Feeding Period
In grading up the herd the farmer
should have one object in view if he
is trying to produce profitable beef
That one aim should be to produce
an animal that Avill mature in a short
time and be of a conformation that
will yield the largest possible amount
of high priced cuts This is a great
item in the matter of profits as the
less time required to get an animal
ready for market the less feed will
he used and the less money paid out
for care which must always be fig
ured as having some marketable
value The work of more than a hun
dred years in scientific breeding has
been to produce an animal that Avould
mature rapidly In grading up this
should be kept fully in mind Also at
time of putting such cattle into the
feed lot the fact should not be forgot
ten that the herdsman is dealing Avith
cattle that have been bred up to be
fattened in a short instead of a long
time A good many herdsmen that
have been accustomed to feeding the
old fashioned steer make the mistake
of feeding the improved steer for too
long a time and so both over finish
him and lose valuable time and feed
Beyond a certain point every pound
of feed put into the steer is so much
money thrown away The professional
feeder must watch this matter and
turn off his animals as soon as they
are ready to go to the slaughter pens
and at once put in a neAV lot of ani
mals to be fed In this Avay it is per
fectly easy to feed to ripeness three
bunches of cattle in the same time it
took to feed tAvo of the scrub variety
Poultry Culture in Denmark
Poultry culture has assumed large
proportions in Denmark during recent
years In 1871 only 50000 dozen of
eggs Avere exported but the next year
ic jumped up to 555000 dozen and in
1873 it made another great gain
2310000 dozen being exported that
year In 1895 the Danish Co operative
Egg Export association Avas organized
and the next year the eggs exported
amounted to 20379000 dozen In 1902
the last year for Avhich Ave have sta
tistics there were exported 35967000
dozen The producers of these eggs
are mostly small farmers with only
two or three acres of land
The breeds most popular in Den
mark are said to be the BroAvn Leg
horns Spanish Minorcas and the An
dalusians Plymouth Rocks and Wy
andottes have been introduced there
and are growing in favor Langshans
and Orpingtons are also beginning to
draw attention Brahmas and Co
chins are not popular being consid
ered too coarse and too often
broody
Mechanical incubators and brooders
are being used but the most popular
brooder is said to be the turkey Few
people hoAvever make a specialty of
poultry farming and there are few
large poultry establishments in the
kingdom Egg production is carried
on as a side issue
The color of butter is too high for
the best good of the butter making in
dustry if vegetable coloring matter is
to be used We are trying to get back
to Aegetable coloring matter as the

In different states and are likely to
he in all states where butter making
is largely carried on The use of
these coal tar dyes has led to the
higher coloring of the butter than for
merly and the vegetable colors being
weaker hae to be used in too large
quantities if the same color is to be
kept up The large use of these veg
etable colors does not injure the food
value of the butter but does some
times affect the flavor according to
the testimony of experts The reme
dy would seem to be tr loAver the
standard of color
