At f 1U th Treasury we erej
iwjrry to find that it was 11 o'clock;)
for Jf yon remember, I told you thatj
me had made arrangi-Bient to ni'ret

we were loo late, we postponed it
until Wedngdajr (to-morrow). Prof, f
Martin blamfd us for the delay, for
It U true that be tried to Ret ua to
go fteveral timeu. He said that he
wag unable to gt us to follow him,
a fid therefore we were to blame. f
If you are all like we were, you f
could utay in the Treasury Depart-f

go out for something to eat. At an(r County and is on several ira

Vfe decided to visit the "Zoological! future and labr. Military Affairs,
Park." which is administered under1 Election Laws. Game. Immigration,
the Smithsonian Institution, covers i Herniation Public Service Corpora
167 acres of ground beyond the t,ons' nnd anks and Currency,
northwestern limits of the city, and -Mr- Teague Is Chairman of the Re
contains an interesting and valuable! Publican Executive Committee of

easily accessible by street-cars run-j sressive leadership the county made

Beventh Street, and from Ninth to ' r election.
V Streets, without change, and from
ther points. The purpose of this
park, as defined In the legislative au
thority for its establishment in 1889,
is "the advancement of science and
instruction and recreation of the
people." In carrying out this pur
pose it undertakes primarily to col
lect and preserve our national fauna
and, secondly, to provide entertain
ment for the public, while it Inciden
tally preserves to the people of the
District a singularly beautiful tract!
f land.
"We boarded a car and went to the
park. The first thing that we no
ticed was some deer from South Af
rica. They were unlike the deer of
our country. Differing in color and
physical development. There is more
deer in the Zoo than any one thing,
being so many species and a goodly !
number of each kind. We noticed!
the Eskimo dogs and all of the ani-j
mals of the Arctic regions, such as;
the polar bear, which dives into ai
pool of ice water about every 20 j
minutes. A fine pair of Polar bears, !
as white as the snow itself, were thej
i first to attract my attention. j
There are about ten species of the ;
bear in the Zoo, and the largest oft
these is one from the central part of j
Brazil. He is a huge brown bear, ,
and is said to be the largest bear in!
the world in captivity, weighing, in ;
1909, 1,050 pounds. It is believed
that he has gained since he was
weighed in 1909. They are all in
separate lots and have a rock door
way into their slepeing place. This
Is done in order to make it look like
their native home in some mountain!
save.
;. We next passed to the place where
all of the fowls are kept. Here I
saw just about what we saw in the
Smithsonian, except the creatures;
were alive. After looking at some
f the queerest looking birds that are
in the tropical zones, we passed on!
to the huge stone building where the
lions and vicious kinds of animals
were kept. They were all weaving
to and fro in their cages, acting rest
less, for they knew that it would
soon be feeding time. We stayed
close about to see the keepers feed
them. At 12.30 they came in, pull
ing a small wagon loaded with large
"slugs" of beef and driving along,
they would put each ones share to
him with a two-pronged fork. Each
animal would receive its share with
1 a low growl, which warned any one
not to come nigh.
After leaving this, we went to all
of the various wards and places of
interest. But I am not permitted by
time and space to mention now; but
I will mention one. The South Amer
ican Llama is a very interesting ani
mal. There was a pair of these
which would attract the attention of
every" one who would come close.
They would step back from each oth
er and then run at one another and
strike their breasts together which
would some time result in the weak
er "to get a hard fall. After doing
this they would come and beg for
something to eat.
We stayed in the Zoo until four
o'clock and went out regretting that
we had not, and could not, be able to
see the beavers. They would not
come from their hiding in their self
made dam of logs and , sticks. "We
went hack to the hotel and awaited
the coming of the Georgia boy.

Should Not Name Magistrates.
Statesville Landmark,
The very first day the Legislature
was in session a bill to appoint some
body a magistrate made its appear
ance. It Is measures of, this sort
that put the State's law-making body
in an absurd light. What business
has the Legislature appointing. mag

such appointments are ' rare give

Union Republican.
Mr. Editor: It Is true, as was
stated in Mr. J. P. Taylor's article,
that I wrote the plank in the Repub
lican platform advocating free text
book for all the public schools and I
am as much in favor of it to-day as
I was then, and I am in favor of it
for the reason that I do not believe
that more than half, if, in fact, that
many, of the children of the State at
tend the public schools that should,
and I feel sure that in many in-1
stances the lack of the means to pro-!
Yide the necessary books is the main
excuse of the many reasons for this
condition.
There are many other reasons why
the schools are not what they should
be which will readily suggest them
selves that we all should combine to
remedy; such, for instance, as the
lack of interest on the part of pa
rents, the failure to instill ambition
and a desire for knowledge into the
children and the willingness that
their children may be the servants of
others on the part, of the parents;
these and many other hindrances
should be cured by creating such a
healthy public sentiment for educa
tion that it would be considered a
shame and a disgrace not to be edu
cated. Were I a member of the Legisla
ture and could do no more, I would
advocate free school books, and take
them for Forsyth if I could not get
them for the State.
This may be considered an inno
vation, and so it is,' but so is every
movement along progressive lines,
but such opposition as is found must
be met and removed as has always to
be done.
It is stated in history that when
the change from working the road in
England by day labor, as was done
here a few years ago, and is still be
ing done in a greater part of the
South, was first proposed, it liked to
have produced a revolution, yet after
the change had been made and the
roads worked by taxation a few
years, to have gone back to the old
system would have caused a. revolu
tion. This, in my opinion, would be the
result in the case of free school
books. Once tried, the system would
never he abandoned.

lion- The man who feeds his live j
stock as Individuals rather than as;
herds or flocks, is the one who ob-j
Uins the best results. "The eye of
the master fattens his cattle." is an j
old German adage full of pertinent f
force to the feeder of today, when the
high price of feeds makes errors
costly.
The generally accepted "stand
ards" are probably not accurate for
all cases; but with our present
knowledge they are the best guide to
the practical feeder. If the following
limiting conditions or facts be given
equal or due consideration:
1. The exact balancing of a ration
is not necessary, because, as we have
learned, an excess of protein may fill
the place of a deficiency of carbohy-4
drates; and likewise, to a certain ex
tent, an excess of fats will be used
by the animal to supply a lack of
starches and sugars. No other feed )
nutrient can take the place of pro-j
tein; but a slight deficiency la this
respect may be made up in the case
of any ration, if a larger quantity of
feed be supplied. This! of course, In
creases the cost of the ration and
places more work on the digestive
organs. If the deficiency he too
great, the animal, although given all
he will eat or can digest, may not
be able to obtain all the protein re
quired and in such case his develop
ment will be retarded or permanent
ly injured. In general feeding, how
ever, if an animal receiving a ration
deficient in protein if not given a
larger quantity and if the deficiency
be considerable, even with liberal
feeding, proper growth and develop
ment is not obtained.
2. The price of feeds Is always an
important matter and must never be
ignored by the practical feedef in
balancing his rations. In the grow
ing of young animals, for instance,
protein and mineral matter must be
supplied with reasonable approa-h j
to the "standard" requirements; but
an excess of these nutrients may be
advisable for feeds rich in protein!
and ash are enough cheaper than !
other feeds containing more carbo-j
hydrates. For instance, in the feed-1
ing of cattle in the South it is cus- j
tomary to use a ration rather rich
in protein, because our best cattle
feted, cottonseed meal, is extremely j
rich in protein and is usually cheap
er than other feeds, considering its
great value. Dr. Tait Butler, in The
Progressive Farmer..
WHAT A WOMAN HAS LEARNED
ABOUT CHICKENS
The Progressive Farmer.
In my own experience with poultry
I find that it is the simple things
that are apt to be overlooked. So
many people neglect watering, their
chickens as they should. Plenty of
clean, fresh water should be kept be
fore them all the time. Ice-cold
water Is not good for them and hens
forced to drink it will not lay half
as well as they would If given warm
j water. Keep grit and charcoal handy
and you will see how they appreciate
! it. Copperas water is the best thing
1 1 have ever tried for bowel trouble
i in chicks. A piece the size of a
i pea in a Pte-P1 of water is about
e rifht Quantity.-,! Is also good
fr ol fWiS Abov a tMngs keep
your hen-house, coops and nest-
boxes clean. By this I mean rid them
of mites and see that the droppings
are taken out often. You can't pos
sibly get things too clean. Catch
your chickens two or three times a
year and rub a little coal oil and lard
mixed,, on their heads, knees, under
their wings and where they are
feathered thickest Be careful not
to use too much. A tiny hit rubbed
on the heads of baby chicks will kill
the lice usually found there. Notice
the young ones every week and see
that they are, not full of lice. Give
everything a good cleaning before
setting any hens. Singe your hen
houses and coops every time you get
a chance. Pour coal oil on the roosts
and everywhere you think a louse
can hide.- Use lime freely. A great
many people who are troubled with
sickness in their flocks would seldom
have a sick fowl if they would ob
serve the above rules.
Treat your hens as you would like
i- to be treated.
Don't give them the
same thing to eat day in and day out
that" is, if you expect them to lay.
If you give corn once a day it Is bet
ter to give it for their night feed.
