GUTHRIE, o t., Feb. 28.-ESpecial.l- j
Mr.. Clevinger this morning introduced
council bill No. 122, an act to change the
name of county G to that of Morrison.
House bill No. 79 Qegalizing tax on
Guthrie water works bonds, being part of
the special order for this morning, was
read the third time and passed.
Council bill No. 119 Stealing or mutila-
tion of bills was then taken up and read a
hird time.
Council bill No. 1O7 was then read the
third time. The vote on its passage stood
ayes and noes. The bill fixed an eX-
animation standard for admission to the
university, and this was the point to
which several members objected.
MIR. Cannon objected to the bill, because
while the university is supported by gen.
eral taxation outsiders are admitted to its
rlasses on the same terms as residents of
the territory.
Mr.. Pitman was opposed to the legisla-
ture fixing a standard of examination. He
thought this should be left to the discre-
tion of the faculty. Besides, if standard
Of examination were established for one
territorial institution, one should be fixed
for all of them, not, however, necessarily
the same for all.
Mr.. Lane thought that as the legislature
had established the university IL should
also fix the terms for admission. To dele
gate this right to Others might be equiva-
lent to making the institution simply a
high school for the community in which it
is located. The bill viii probably on the
return of Mr. Ross (the author of it) be
brought up again on reconsideration Of
the vote.
The council next went into committee
of the whole for the consideration of SUM-
dry bills.
Council bill No. ia, an act relating to
civil procedure before justices. and provid-
ing for the prosecution of public offenses,
WAS considered and, after the adoption of
several amendments, was recommended
for passage.
The same report was made on council
bill No. IL, providing that in actions for
personal injuries the plaintiff may recover
Notwithstanding contributory negligence
OF fellow servants.
Mr.. Clevinger called for the report of the
committee on 'eleemosynary" institu-
tions.
Mr. Pringey (the chairmau) stated that
the report was ready. but as Mr. Ross. a
member of the committee, was absent, he
preferred TO wait for bis return and sigma
ture. without It," he said, 'some of
you fellows will say the report is a Repub-
lican affair"
Further time was granted.
Mr. Buliiam introduced resolution
authorizing the president TO appoint a
committee of three, who shall engage a
sufficient number of enrolling and en-
crossing clerks 10 keep up with the work
of the council. such clerks are to be in
formed of the scope and bearing of the

Utility of More Importance In Fowls Than
Graceful Shape.
I consider the utility part of a fowl of
far more Importance than the graceful
shape or the handsome plumage. The
best layers have on my place are the
ugliest in plumage, and possess all the
disqualifications of the standard called
for. Yet would rather have one such
fowl than half dozen of the average
prize winners at the poultry exhibi-
tions. I believe in pure bloods. The
only departure I make from strictly
thorough breeds is the first crossing.
know that where two breeds are
crossed the offspring are more hardy
and more profitable than when closely
bred in their purity.
My plan is topick out the best layers
each year and raise young stock from
them. BY carefully following this plan
an excellent laying strain can be built
up. 1t pays to closely watch the laying
hens and to kill off all that are but
ordinary. The same food that will feed
a flock of Indifferent layers would sup
port flock of profitable ones Fan
ciers cannot follow out that plan. Very
often the poorest layers are the best
marked and the best adapted for the
matings he wants, and his prime object
is to furnish prize winners. l believe
in points, but want these points to

We have often given replies to in.
quiries in regard to how best to pre-
serve eggs, and though many methods
are given, yet the following rules will
enable one to keep eggs from three to
four months if followed:
1. The eggs from hens that are not
with males.
2. Keep the eggs in racks, using no
packing material.
8. The eggs should be turned half
over three times a week.
4. Keep them cool, which is the most
important of all.
5. Use only fresh eggs, as one stale
egg may injure the others.-Farm and
