Why Green Bone Makes Hens Lay.


This important quesntion is the SUBJ
iect of much discussion. Enthusiasts
claim so much for fresh-cut bone that
the earnest desire OF practical poultry
men to know the truth of the matter
has led to careful investigation. The
results have been very satisfactory, and
the reason is so simple as to excite sur
prise that it was never thought of be-
fore. No intelligent farmer would ex-
poet to reap a rich harvest who sowed
the seed in poor and worn out soil. 1t is
a fact that iswell known that all plant
life needs food, and the highest develop
ment is attained when its own particular
kind of food is furnished. A hen has to
find the material to form an egg from the
food she gets. If that food is rich in the
egg constituents she lays well, but If
lacking in them she lays poorly. A
chemical analysis of green bone shows
that 1t contains every element found in
the white, the yolk and the shell of the
egg.
This accounts for the avidity with
which green bone is devOured by the
hen. Instinct implants in all animals
taste and desire for foods that are suit
able for them. A hen will leave mess
of any other food at any time FOR mess
of green bone. In summer when allowed
free range, bugs and worms supply this
craving for amin al food, and that is one
reason Why hens lay better in summer
than in winter. During winter, or
when confined, bugs and worms cannot
be had, and the hen has to walt days
and sometimes even weeks to accumu-
late from the INSULT cent food supplied
her Gnsufficlent not In quantity but in
egg making elements) enough material
to make an egg. But when given
daily allowance of green bone rich in
every constituent of the egg, the hen
no longer has to wait, each organ re-
ceives it's necessary nourishment, the
egg is formed quickly and the hen has
got to lay. 1t is precisely the same
principle as feeding the soil with fertil-
izer-it does not hurt the soil to enrich
it, neither does it hurt the hen to supply
her natural cravings; she is healthier,
stronger and better in every way for it.
So instead of trusting to blind chance,
or luck, we invoke the aid of science
and produce living egg machine, just
as science has made living milk ma
chine of the cow.-Progressive Farmer.

met last evening in the Stowell block.
Here it will in the future gather ON the
first and third Thursdays of each month.
There was a meeting of the Seventh
ward Republican Club last evening at
610 East Fifth street The object of the
meeting was to capture the officers and
organization, not for the purpose of
helping the national ticket but for the
influence and prestige the club might
have in the fight for county offices and
in boosting few men into soft snaps.
This evening there will be a meeting
of the Seventh ward Bryan silver club
at 610 East Fifth street, when a large
turnout is expected. Major w. r. Burke
and Hon. Henry T. Hazard will talk
for Bryan and free silver coinage.
Later on Judge r. A. Ling is expected
to take a prominent part in this cam
paign.
Lord Sholto Douglas has arrived in
the city, but as yet he has positively re-
fused to submit to an interview on the
political situation. Later on he may say
something. but not just now.

EIGHTY BALLOTS TAKEN
The Dull Monoto1v of the Roll Call Not En-
Iivened by Change

During the noon interval all kinds of
endeavors Were made to break the pha
lanx of the opposing forces but it was an
utter impossibilty No delegate could
be swerved in his allegiance.
The Patton men absolutely refused to
listen to any proposition looking to the
introduction Of compromise candidate.
They said that they proposed to have
Patton nominated if the convention re-
mained in session all summer. So this
being the case the only thing to do was
to proceed to ballot.
When Chairman Merritt called the
convention to order. ]. Marion Brooks
took The floor and proceeded to state that
the article Col. Messmore had read at
the morning session was from the EX-
aminer.
D. NJ McGarry Interrupted Mr.. Brooks
with the point of order that the ballot
ing could not be interrupted.
The chairman ruled that as Mr..
Brooks was speaking to question of
privilege he was in order.
Mr. Brooks. continuing, said that he
made the statement in Difference to
the other newspapers and correspond
ents in the city.
FRUITLESS ROLL CALLS.
The secretary then called the roll or
the twentieth ballot with the result of
no change-3G to 36.
The Secretary continued to call the
roll for ballots until the twentyfourth
was reached Then gentleman among
the spectator arose and said that he
thought the whole business was child 5
play. He nominated Gen. Johnstone
Jones.
But as the party was not a delegate
and when questioned by the chair he
promptly admitted the fact, the SER
geant arms was requested to put
him out That officer did as directed,
and the interloper was seen no more.
The ballotng continued until the
twenty ninth ballot was taken when
Delegate McGarry moved to adjourn to
Santa Monica. but there Was no second
to the motion.
On the thirty-fourth ballot Delegate

but the motion was voted down.
