HOW TO GET EGGS IN WIN.
TER.

The farmer who leaves his poul,
try to roost in the apple tree at the
corner of the barn, and to pick up
their living at the pigs trough and
in The barnyard, may occasionally
get an egg in winter. But as d
matter of fact there is on most
farms great deartb of eggs from
from November to March. With
warm shelter and suitable feed,
pullets that begin to lay in the fall
and will continue to lay through
the winter. It is mainly q question
of feed. The staple feed is Indian
corn, especially in the West, be-
cause it is most plentiful and the
most convenient. It furnishes
plenty of fat and keeps up the heat
of the fowls, but is poor in albumen
and the phosphates. They want o
variety of grains and vegetables.
Most farmers have milk, and If this
can be added it will be all they
need. Butchers scrap-cake is good,
and may safely be kept in the poul-
try yard where the fowls can help
themselves at pleasure. Boiled pota-
toes or turnips, mashed and mixed
with Indian meal, make an excellent
feed for laying hens. Fowls are
particularly fond of cabbages and
turnips atall stages of their growth
and eat them raw greedily every
day if they can get them. We have
found so good result from feeding
cabbages to laying hens that we
always lay in a large supply for the
winter. Refuse from the butcher S
and ofal from the fish market also
furnish good material for making
eggs. These are accessible to most
villages and can be had at q small
cost. A hen is only machine for
producing eggs. If you want the
finished product you must pat the
raw material INTO The hopper. 1t
should not be forgotten that there
is liberal grinding going Oh IN
the gizzard, and the laying bird
should have free access to gravel,
with sharp grit, broken oyster and
clam shells, which assist in reduc
ing the grain and forming egg shell.
With a plentiful supply of egg
producing food, hens will lay we'll
in winter, when eggs bring the
highest price.-CoI. Farmer.

CROsS.BRED FOWLS.

Crossing. fowls enables US to
combine the merits of different
breeds. The Brahma has a very
small comb, is heavily feathered,
and grows to large size. By cross
ing this breed with the Leghorn,
we reduce the comb of the latter,
increase the size of the body, and
afford heavier feathering. The
crossed fowl will sit, though the
propensity is not SO strong as IN
the pure Brahma, and the good
qualities of both breeds are bien-
ded. A cross of the Brown Les
horn and Partridge Cochin permits
of uniformity of color, and makes
superb fowl for all purposes. The
Hudan answers excellently for
crossing on the large coarse hens,
the offspring usually being larger
then either Of the parents. When
two non sitting breeds are crossed,
snch as Leghorns and Hamburgs,
the result is sometimes persistent
sitters. An excellent cross is to
use Ltngshan cockerel with large
common hens, the pullets from
which are mated with a Houdan
cockerel. This gives hardy, early
maturing of any of the Asiatics,
but has dark legs, which are con-
sidered Objectionable by some.
For plumpness of body, yellow legs,
and hardness, the new breed-the
Wyandottes formerly American
Sebrights) are equal to any. They
are nearly as large in size IS the
Plymouth Rocks. Crossed fowls do
not produce uniform chicks. A
pure blooded cockerel must always
be mated with crossed pallets. If
this is not done, the chicks hatched
from the crossed stock will be OF
different colors, shapes, and sizes,
as they usually revert to different
ancestors. Sandy soil is best for
acknowledged breeds. Plenty OF
room in the coops should always
be allowed, without regard TO the
breed of fowl.-P. Fl. Jacobs,

upon the market, or again made subject to

the reason that the road had received its
quota; but If that company had asked the
further Withholding of the lands, We can't

HANK HEISERMAN.

The Democrats didn't have the pluck to
nominate candidate against Hank Heiser.
man. They thought by endorsing the old
crippled soldier they might slip some Of
their fellows through on the strength oil
his popularity. They deluded one OF the
most popular women in the county into run
ming against him two years ago, which was
cowardly dodge, and not done because
they respected or wanted to see the lady
helped any more than did the Republicans.
And they endorsed him this fall, not that
they love him any more than they did two
years ago, but simply TO pull the wool over
the peoples eyes as TO the rest Of their
ticket. They say, "oh, he is 4 wound sol.
der, and that they haze no disposition to
beat him." But they never saw this point
until convinced that there was not the
slightest chance to beat him. But Hank
Heiserman is not the only wounded soldier
on our ticket this year. Every single man
OF them was a soldier, and all but one OF
them, we believe, carries the marks Of the
enemies lead or steel. 1t is n ticket that
ought to be elected on general principles,
ticket of patriots, a ticket OF veterans and
ticket of honest men.
Hank Heiserman was elected two years
ago on the strength Of these last three
propositions, and he has proved an honor
to the party which elected him, rs will his
old compatriots for the same reasons. The
men who took their lives in their hands, and
mt in four desperate wears fighting for their
country, can be trusted on general princi-
plies as they deserve to be honored by all.
And what in this respect is true of Hank
Heiserman is true of the balance Of the

e. p. FORD.

+. l.. Ford was n member OF the Army Of
the Cumberland. After the battle of Per-
ryville, in which he participated, a sun
stroke Frustrated him and it was thought
he could not survive, and although to this
day he is still effected by the accident, as
soon rs he could get around on his feet he
joined State organization, and did much
hard service. He came 10 this county in
1876, and farmed for the ensuing five years.
He is now iifty-two years of age, too old to
be very full OF boyish prsnks, but as the
deputy of f.. A. Dorsey, in the county
clerks Office. he has made very favorable
acquaintance with the taxpayers Of the
county. He is a splendid accountant, a
great painstaker and very correct. He was
nominated by the Republican convention on
his merits, and with the belief that his ex-
periencc as a deputy would render his SER
vices OF value TO the taxpayers. He is q
genial. wholesouled gentleman. lie is an
other old soldier who never voted any but
the Republican ticket, and believes 1t
would be the greatest calamity for this
country TO fall into the control OF the re-
constructed, but unregenerated Democratic
party. The Office Of county clerk is very
important one, as that officer keeps all the
accounts between the people and their va
rious officers, especially OF the county treas
urer. who must settle by the clerks books.
That Mr.. Ford will be elected and make an
accomplished county clerk there is rot The
least doubt.

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS At STAKE.

The taxpayers of Sedgwick county will
remember that in the year 1880 $3.50, 900 were
voted to the st. Louis, Wichita & Western
railroad, on condition that the road should
be built through the county, with two lines
west from Wichita. The railroad company
claimed it was entitled to $4,000 Of the
bonds when the road reached Wichita. The
company has never directly relinquished
that claim, although it has never brought
suit to enforce it. The people will remem.
Der that the delivery of these bonds was
the subject of animated discussion at the
time.
Harris, the Democratic candidate for judge
gave it as his opinion that the company was
legally entitled to the bonds. Sluss, the
Republican nominee for judge, gave 1t as
his opinion that the company was not legal
ly entitled TO the bonds. The county COM
missioners acted upon the advice Of Mr..
Sluss and refused to deliver the bonds. The
company, by its delay in bringing sait, seems
to conclude that Sluss was right and Harris
wrong. IL Harris is now elected for four
years term the railroad company will be in
good shape to bring suit for the value Of
the bonds. and the only hope the county
will have will be in change Of venue. This
is an important matter. It's big stake.
The people are safe with Sluss on the bench,
and they don't know what may happen with
Harris on the bench.

THE NON.PARTIsAN CANDIDATE.

Judge Amos Harris was delegate to the
convention that nominated Click for gov
ernor. He went up instructed to vote for
John Martin. When John broke down and
cried, saying he couldn't accept the nomi-
nation on anything but Van Bennett plat
form, then Amos forged to the front with
the cry of Click. The honor OF securing
this new Judicial district, SO long desired
by the people, belonged to Senators Sluss
and Hackney. This Click knew. Tho bar
of the new district was almost unite in
asking the appointment Of Sluss us being
the most acceptable man in the district, and
one of the very best qualified to be found.
This MIR. Click was made to feel. But he
appointed Amos Harris, because, in the
first place, Amos had helped to nominate
him, and, secondly, to strengthen the Dem
ocratic party in four counties which had
been overwhelmingly Republican. That's
how the agent OF the Corbin Banking Com
pany became judge Of this district, and
outside of these reasons he has no other
claim under heaven upon the Republicans
Of the six counties which compose it. A
pretty nou-partisan candidate

IS IT TOO MUCH.

Is 1t too much to say that the Republican
ticket Of Sedgwick county is composed Of
men whose fitness and capacity are recog-
nized and acknowledged OF all? II not,
then, as they were fairly and honorably
nominated by a very large, a very full and
. very able convention, is it too murh to
further add that IL the Republicans of
Sedgwick county will do their duty, on next
Tuesday week, no Click Democrat will be
elected! We think not. In spite of all the
selfish, non-partisan cry, in spite Of the can
didacy of men who only bolted because
they failed of a nomination themselves, and
whose only aim is to heal their own sores
by defeating their old Republican friends
and by electiny Democrats, is it not honor
able aud right to call upon. and to urge
every Republican by every honorable and
pure reason, to vote the straight Repuhli-
can ticket and TO vote no other? We think
so. Does not every true Republican see
and understand that every vote cast for All
independent candidate, however good he
may be as a man, is stab at the only party
that has made progressive ideas and meas
ures possible and that every such vote is
directly in the interest Of the party whose
watchword is ''turn backward:" We can
not believe otherwise.

A CORRECTION.

VALLEY CENTER, Oct. 2sd, 1883.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Word having reached me that ii. L. Tay.
lor, the boiling candidate for county treas.
urer, is circulating the report that would
make an affidavit to the effect that he wal
fairly nominated i'm the Republican county
convention, l wish to state that it is moi
true. never as much as intimaied to him
or any one else that would subscribe to
such an affidavit, or that the tally kept
believed to be correct, as I did not have
much interest either way, and several times
1 looked at Mr.. Derby's tally, when l got
behind, and tailed mine up TO correspond
with his. In fact, did not pretend to
keep tally that could rely upon. just
merely tried to keep u general run OF the
bulk Of the votes, and that being the case,
the tally kept could not be relied upon in
any case. believe, notwithstanding being
favorable to Taylor's nomination, that @.
w. Walter was the choice Of the conven.
ton by much larger vote than he received
and was fairly and squarely nominated. In
fact l have heard number Of delegates
say since the convention that had they had
any idea that Taylor would have run 50
close, they should have voted for Mr.. Wal.
ter. They were simply giving Taylor q
complimentary vote
{. Mr.. Taylor's course is surprise TO every
friend he ever had, and bad enough with
out misrepresenting those who would have
served him had he been in the right.
Respectfully yours,
