Bryan and Stevenson are Notified
Of Their Nomination.
At Indianapolis, Ind,, Wednesday,
William. J. Bryan and AdlaiE. Steven
son were formally notified of their
nomination by the Democratic party
for president and vice president re
spectively.
Military park, whore the exercises
were held, was a seething mass of
humanity, 25,000 people crowding
into the open space to bear the notifi
cation and acceptance speeches.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
despite the hot weather, and the
ers of the party were given a maguifi
cent reception.

Hon. Wm. J. Bryan.
Hon. William J. Bryan, in accepting
the Democratic nomination for presi¬
dent, began his acceptance speech as
follows:
“I shall, at an early day and in a
more formal manner, accept the nomi¬
nation which you tender, and I shall
at that time discuss the various ques¬
tions covered by the Democratic plat¬
form. It may not be out of place,
however, to submit a few observations
at this time upon the general character
of the contest before us, and upon the
question which is declared to be of
paramount importance in this cam¬
paign.
“When I say that the contest of
1900 is a oontest between Democracy
on one hand and plutocracy on the
other, I do not mean to say that all
onr opponents have deliberately chosen
to give to organized wealth a predomi¬
nating influence in the affairs of the
government, but I do assert that on
the important issues of the day the
Republican party is dominated by
those influences which constantly tend
to elevate pecuniary considerations
and ignore human rights.”
“The Democratic party is not mak¬
ing war upon the honest acquisition of
wealth; it has no desire to discourage
industry, economy and thrift. On the
contrary, it gives to every citizen the
greatest possible stimulus to honest
toil, when it promises him protection
in the enjoyment of the proceeds of
his labor. Property rights are most
secure when human rights are re¬
spected. Democracy strives for a civ¬
ilization in which every member of so¬
ciety will share according to his merits.
The most striking sentences of Mr.
Bryan’s speech were the following:
“If elected president, I shall con¬
vene congress in extraordinary session
as soon as I am inaugurated, and re¬
commend an immediate declaration of
the nation's purpose.
“First, To establish a stable form
of government in the Philippine
islands, just as we are now establish¬
ing a stable form of government in the
island of Cuba;
“Second, To give independence to
the Filipinos, just as we promised to
give independence to the Cubans;
“Third, To protect the Filipinos
from outside interference while they
work out their destiny, just as we
h#ve protected the republics of Central
and South America, and are, by the
Monroe doctrine, pledged to protect
Cuba.
“The Republicans shall not be per¬
mitted to evade the stupendous issue
of imperialism.
“We cannot repudiate the principle
of self-government in the Philippines
without weakening that principle at
home.
“The advocates of imperialism in
this country dare not say a word in
behalf of the Boers.
“The Democratic party does not op¬
pose expansion when expansion en¬
larges the area of the republic.
€ ( If we have an imperial policy we
must Lave a large standing army.
“The Republican party has accepted
the European idea and planted itself
upon ground taken by George III.
“History furnishes no example cf
turpitude baser than ours if we sub¬
stitute our yoke for the Spanish yoke.
“A war of conquest is as unwise as
it is unrighteous.”

Hou. Adlia E. Stevenson.
Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson,'in accept¬
ing the Democratic nfimination for
vice president, said in part:
“I am profoundly grateful for the
honor conferred upon me by my selec¬
tion by the national Democratic con¬
vention ns its candidate for the high
office of vice president of the United
Stater. For the complimentary man¬
ner in which such action has been of¬
ficially made known to me, I express
to you, Mr. Chairman, and to your
honored associates of the committee,
my sincere thanks.
“Deeply impressed with a sense of
the responsibility assumed by such
candidacy, I accept the nomination so
generously tendered me. Should the
action of the convention meet the ap¬
proval of the people in November, it
will be my earnest endeavor to dis¬
charge with fidelity the duties of the
great office.
“Imperialism means a permanent
departure from all the traditions of the
past; from the high ideala of the
founders of the republic. It abro¬
gates the holding of our great court
that the declaration of independence
is the spirit of the government—the
constitution but its form and letter.
“Imperialism knows nothing of lim¬
itations of power. Its rule is outside
the constitution. It means the estab¬
lishment by the American republic of
the colonial methods of European
monarchies. It means the right to
hold alien peoples as subjects. It en¬
throne* force as the controlling agency
in government. It means the empire.
“As a necessary corrollary to impe¬
rialism will come the immense stand¬
ing army. The dead hand of militarism
will be felt in the new world, as it is in
the old.
“In the light of history, can it be
possible that fhe American people will
consent to the permanent establish¬
ment of a largo standing army, an4
its consequent continuing and ever
increasing burden of taxation?
“Only those who believe that our
own country has outgrown the doc¬
trines of the fathers are in sympathy
with England’s attempt to establish
monarchy upon the ruins of repub¬
lics.
“The baleful but logical result of
the tariff law condemned by our plat¬
form is seen in the sudden growth of
giant monopolies, combinations in re¬
straint of lawful trade and trusts more
threatening than foreign foe to the ex¬
istence of popular government.
“The ills resulting from unjust leg¬
islation, and from unwise administra¬
tion ot the government, must find
their remedy in the all-potent ballot.
To it we now make our solemn appeal,"
A paramount incident in the nomi¬
nation of Stevenson at Kansas City,
which was inadvertently omitted from
these colums in the hurried and brief
chronicling of the event, was the ini¬
tial part taken by the Georgia delega¬
tion in launching the boon for the Illi¬
nois man. It is well-known that the
Georgians, led by Hon.Boykin Wright,
were first in bringing Mr. Stevenson
to the front and preventing a stampede
to Hill. The nominating speech was
made by a member of the Georgia
delegation—Mr. Hutcherson—and the
first seconding speech was also deliver¬
ed by a Georgiau.

IAN IMMENSE chicken farm
TO SUfrn NEW YORK’S EBBS
LUXURIOUSLY HOUSED HENS.
*■****■*¥***■****■********** *
n EW YORK is soon to have
in its suburbs the larg¬
est chicken ranch in the
world, states the Herald.
At Mnnasquan, N. J„ a com¬
pany hns secured a tract of three hun¬
dred acres to establish a giant hen
Industry, conducted on scientific meth¬
ods.
The company, say its promoters, in¬
tends to control the New York market
for “guaranteed” fresh laid eggs. They
will, they say, deliver eggs in boxes,
each box stamped with the date of
laying, and delivered to customer with¬
in twenty-four hours after the eggs
are laid.
Tlie city of New York last year paid
$20,000,000 for eggs, most of them
more or less stale, the consumption
being 100,000,000 dozen. The first
year’s output of the enormous new
chicken ranch now being laid will bn
thirty million eggs. This will be the
product of a laying “herd” of from
one hundred and fifty thousand to two
hundred thousand chickens. The es¬
tablishment is being planned to rapid¬
ly increase to double that amount.
These flocks will be herded under
the system invented by Mr. ,T. R. Ben¬
son, an authority on everything per¬
taining to the hen and its product. Mr.
Benson is the general manager of this
gigantic concern, which will be the
biggest in the world.
In a recent lecture Professor A. A.
Brigham, of the Rhode Island College
of Agriculture, at the Poultry Experi¬
ment Station, Kingston, said:
“To make an Industry of the chicken
find Its product is not a question of
the market, which can always be had.
It is not the expense of keeping,, which
Is always low-. It is not a question
of profit, which, if properly conducted,
is large. It is the question how to
reach and conduct on a business scale
large herds of hens, the chicken busi¬
ness of to-day being merely a home in¬
dustry. Something, therefore, must
be done to make hen raising a national
business on a business scale.”
This will be accomplished, says Mr.
Benson, at the Manasquan egg farm.
Under his system any number of chick¬
ens can be herded. Instead of allow¬
ing them to run at large and mingle
freely, as of old, picking their food
from all kinds of refuse, they are to
be divided into colonies of not above

its own reservation, kept in hygienic
cleanliness and order, and separate
and isolated at all times from the
others.
This makes feeding of each fowl
possible to insure the greatest product¬
iveness,with, as experience has proved,
an average yearly yield of two hun¬
dred eggs from each hen. The sec¬
ond advantage of the segregation of
the fowls is that should a chicken by
any chance become sick or breed ver¬

that one reservation before it is de¬

epidemics which * have sometimes
played havoc with the fancy stock
fowl on chicken farms. Moreover, the
new system permits the immediate
identification of any hen failing In pro¬
ductiveness, and her prompt replace¬
ment by one able to keep up to the
high average.
The system includes the extensive
use of several patents, which bring the
business of chicken ranching and egg
producing to a new perfection. One
of these is an automatic nest. Without
tills it would be impossible, where

more than one hen is kept, to guaran¬
tee that an egg would be free from the
taint of incubation. When hens lay
in the same nest and from one to a half
dozen sit on the nest while laying,
the process of hatching has actually
begun before the eggs are gathered
for the market. Tills is the main cause
why so many eggs spoil.
The new system is the only one
which prevents eggs from undergoing
some degree of incubation, because tlie
egg is taken from the nest immediate¬
ly after it is laid. The invention con¬
sists of a nest with a hole in the bot

tom suspended immediately over a re¬
volving disc, which receives the egg
as soon as it is laid and moves it away
from the nest when released by the
rising of the hen. The disc is then
ready to receive the next egg, and in
this way no egg is incubated for an
instant.
The second invention saves the ex¬
pense of numerous attendants and the
lives of the smaller hens. One of the
greatest troubles and trials of poultry
farms has been that of feeding. Un¬
less time were taken to scatter the
food far and wide the larger fowls
beat away the smaller from it, and
the result was that the smaller were
imperfectly nourished, impairing their
capacity. As small hens may
as prolific as larger ones, and as
produces fat and dimin¬
the laying, the importance of fair
even distribution of food to laying
is plain. To make this cheap
easy, an electric food scatterer
been invented. The attendant
the feed in it and upon pressure
a button at a central station the
is scattered simultaneously lu
sections evenly over the surface of
reservation.
The third improvement is to destroy
vermin, the enemy of fowl. Most
pass from fowl to fowl at
when the fowls are roosting,and
up the walls of the chicken
and out upon the perch. These
are rendered vain by a perch
is set in a cup, in which the ver¬
are caught and destroyed before
can reach the fowls.
The eggs will be collected from the
disc several times a day. Packing
shipping will go on continually.
A few hours will bring them to New
York in the cars of the company and
delivered by their own trains eacly
morning. The fresh laid eggs will be
packed and shipped in paper boxes
containing from one-half dozen to
three dozen. Each box will be secured
by a sealed label stamped with the
date of laying.
The extent of this ranch Is to be very
great. Nothing like it exists any-
whore. The largest chicken farm to¬
day is at Sydney, Ohio. Thin plant
hns the capacity of raising one hun¬
dred thousand broilers per year, but
It does not sell the egg product. To
accomplish this it has a flock of less
than fifteen thousand hens. Cudahy,
the great packer, has a chicken farm
of eighteen thousand head near Mil¬
waukee, and this is ebusidered oue of
the largest in the country. One New
Jersey concern is said to bo the largest
chicken and egg purchaser in this
country, but never have its flocks ex¬
ceeded eighteen thousand.
“Few people know that the insig¬
nificant little hen is one of the great¬
est profit makers and wealth produc¬
ers, Tlie revenue from keeping fowls
for eggs if the herds can he properly
handled, watched and controlled is
greater than in any other industry,”
said J. It. Benson.
“Becoming convinced years ago that
there was big profit and room for
great improvement in poultry raising,
I started experiments and study, not
in methods of breeding, but to devise
proper methods of herding. I found
that it is possible on a small area to
keep an unlimited number of small
herds. This system caused tlie great¬
est production. Two hundred eggs
per year per fowl was not a high aver¬
age, and each lien could be made to
pay a profit of at least $2.50 per year.
I started with fifteen hens, then in¬
creased this to ten families of fifteen
each. The result was the same if
not better.”
Mr. C. H. Wyckoff, of Gnrton, N. Y.,
one of the successful small poultry rais¬
ers, keeps about six hundred head of
laying fowls, in small colonies, solely
for eggs for the market. His total egg
yield was 117,000 eggs for the year
ending October 1, 1899. His receipts
were $4.08 per year for each of the
six hundred hens. He figures $1.08
per year per hen for keep and expenses,
showing a net profit of $1800 per year
for this colonized flock of six hundred.
And this is the profit, says Mr. Ben¬
son, on an investment of less than
$ 000 .
Mr. Benson estimates that this mam¬
moth egg ranch will cost, equipped
and stocked with 150,000 hens ready
for a daily lay of 80,000 to 100,000
eggs, about $206,000. Tlie yearly ex¬
pense of running this plant will be,
including feed, delivery system, etc.,
about $210,000. The yearly income is
figured at $510,000 for eggfi and $75
000 for non-producing fowls sold as
broilers, etc., or a total of $585,000. If

Cecil Rhodes and the Ladles.
It is said by those who know Mr. Ce¬
cil Rhodes, the South African magnate,
that he has, in common with Lord
Kitchener, a strong aversion to the
opposite sex. While on a visit to Lon¬
don before the commencement of the
war he dined at the house af a very
wealthy lady of title, and later, when
lie was discussing tlie affair with his
secretary, the latter asked; “And whom
did you take to dinner?” “Oh, I don’t
know. Some Lady Somebody,” was
the reply. “But what did you call
her?” “Didn’t call her anything—
never spoke to her.”—Argonaut.
Ruined Iceland Farmers.
About 800 Icelanders emigrated from
Liverpool to Quebec a few days ago,
en route,for Manitoba and the north¬
west. The recent order in council
rendering compulsory tlie slaughter of
foreign sheep and cattle at the port
of arrival in Great Britain has ruined
the prospects of many Icelandic farm¬
ers, whose sheep require British pas¬
turage before they are fit for killing.
This has induced many of the island¬
ers to leave for Canada with their
families.—London Chronicle.

mans in the hospital here. A bullet
hit him on the outside of the knee,
passed out at the top, slightly graz¬
ing the kneecap, and then again passed
through the knee on the left side and
through the thigh of the left leg, so
that one bullet made six holes, but did
not damage any bones seriously. Some
of the other men In our regiment have
had really marvellous escapes. One
man was shot in the left side of the
head, the bullet passing out at the
front, Just above the ball of the eye,
and without hurting the eye at all. An¬
