The present time is the night of
existence at Neihart, soon to be fol-
lowed by refulgent and glorious
dawn. Some, who claim to know,
say the change for the better is COM
ing in the spring, and the HERALD
is of the same belief. Our mineral
wealth is just now being proved,
while immense areas of ground have
not yet been prospected. This is
by no means one-mine camp, and
Neihart is destined to see not one
but 50 working mines. 1t is not
unreasonable to expect that our
town will some day verify the
rprophesies of the ardent admirer
who says she will have population
of 10000.

POULTRY POINTERS.
Hens lay larger eggs than pullets.
Eggs from fat hens do not hatch well.

Hens lay larger eggs than puliets.
Eggs from fat hens do not hatch well.
Healthy fowls pick up their food quickly.
The best layers are usually the worst
sitters.
Supply the laying hens with bones, oys-
ter shells and vegetables.
Poultry for market should be rapidly
grown, fattened ami sold.
Too much wet or sloppy food given
young fowls often induces scours.
Keep a variety of poultry. Geese and
ducks pay fully as well as chickens.
Unless hens lay well in winter they will
prove rather expensive to keep over.
The eggs of hen will hatch for ten
days after she is separated from the roost-
ers.
In raising fowls for meat instead Of eggs
YOU want the large breeds, especially those
that mature early.
To run any branch Of the poultry bust
ness on large scale is hazardous unless
aided BY experience.
During the winter especially fowls are
very fond Of raw vegetables, as beets, car
rots, turnips and such.
The profit with poultry depends upon
soonomizing food and using that growing
on the farm. When feed must be pur'
chased, close figuring Is necessary to avoid
loss. st Louis Rspublts.
