CAYENNE Peppcr for Fowls.

4 writer in the CouEtry Gentleman SPEAKS
very highly Of cayenne pepper for fowls !;
he say- 1t promotes growth and egg produc-
ton, and keeps the birds in a healthy con
dition, without which there cannot be ex-
pected large profit. Pepper or some tonic
Is absolutely Necessary during the moulting
season, a. at that time the drain on the
system Of the fowl is very great. Every
Thing that is given, however, should be in
moderation, as it is quite as easy to overdo
things Of that kind IA TO neglect it alto
geiher and the effect is much the same in
the long run. Poultry will take pepper
best in their drinking water. and after few
days seem to really relish the sharp flavor.
r.ke three or four pods OF cayenne pepper,
bruise them a little and pour on pint OF
boiling water this Is enough to flavor the
drinking water Of twenty five fowls for one
week.

SUSTAINING. TILE MAYOR.

By extracts which We have published
from time TO time, from our exchanges in
various parts of the State, it will be seen
that our neighbors in other towns take
quite lively interest in the contest be-
tween our Mayor and Council, and without
exception they rustain the Mayor. Public
opinion at home is decidedly upon his side.
The Council made great mistake in its
attempt to deprive him of one of the most
important prerogatives Of his office, and we
are satirfed that every sensible man in the
Council is already convinced that they have
been pursuing a wrong course.

Poultry vs.. Pork

y prominent breeder, among other re
N srEs, said something like the following
Farmers will iced q bushel of corn to
produce six pounds Of pork, while the
ZANE amount properly managed will keep
good sying hen one year, and in that
time she will lay twelve dozen eggs av-
eraging Is cents per dozen, which would
equal = ID; in addition, she will raise a
brood OF chickens, worth fully as much
more, masking total OF nearly s., against
fix pounds Of pork at ten cents a pound
squailing 90 cents; or, to put it in the
proper way, the hen will yield seven times
as the pig on the same amount OF food"

Public Opinion Sustains the Mayor
IAtchison Globe 1911


The Mayor and Council OF Leavenwath
do not work 10. ether with az much har-
mony as The Times could wish. The
Mayor made come new appointments,
which developed the fact of an agreement
among a majority of the Council to defeat
the nomination Of any man. THE TIMES

ell wac plain attempt on lis part to in
wade the rights aud prerogatives of the
Mayor, and We think so too. The Council
has no right 10 interf, re with the Mayors

must see that the laws are enforced, and he
should be allowed 20 select men whom

him. We ere glad 10 learn that he has OBJ
stinatsly refused to appoint any one sug-

Of the Lesveuworth people, and especially

Eggs for Breakfast
Mass. Ploughmau !

Indeed, there is no more concentrated and
nourishing food than eggs. The albumen,
oil. and saline matter are. as IN milk, in
the right proportion for sustaining animal
life. When eggs bring no more than twen-
~ cents per dozen, il is much better econo-
my to find msrke! for them in the fami-
ly than at the store. Two or three boiled
eggs, with the addition of q slice or two OF
toast, will make breakfast sufficient for a
man and good enough for king.

was very thin from the start. The idea Of
an Anthony laying fat Office at the feet Of
smother man, needs the strongest kind Of
confirmation to entitle it to belief.
