FARM AND GARDEN.
FEEDING FOR EGGS.

0feeA Bone Beats All Other Dub-
stances ~ Winter Food.
The profit IL always sure when every
aetail is correct. Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for It in
the market The cheapest food for the
poultryman or farmer Is that which
gives him the largest number of eggs.
1t matters not what the food costs, 80
long as the eggs correspond. 1t IL the
product by which we should measure
and estimate.
Green bones are not used as extensive
" as they should be because grain can
be obtained with less difficulty and at q
low cost, but as reproducing material
the bone Is far superior to grain; nor
does the bone really cost more than
grain In some sections. The cutting Of
the bone into available sizes 10 now
rendered an easy matter, as the bone
cutter is within the reach of all. Bones
fresh from the butcher have more or
less meat adhering, and the more of
such meat the better, as 1t will cost no
more per pound than the bone, while
the combination of both meat and bone
is almost perfect food from which TO
produce eggs.
II the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter. he
will make large profit. We may add
that II the product of each hen can be
increased one egg per week only. in
winter, that one egg will pay for all the
food she can possibly consume, and II
therefore pays to feed the substances
that win induce the hens to lay. If the
hens are consuming food and yet pro-
ducing no eggs, they will cause loss
to their owner; and this happens every
winter on a large number Of farms.
The hens receive plenty of food. but not
of the proper kind.
A pound of cut green bone is sufi-
cient for 16 hens one day, which neapa
that one cent will pay for the bone for
that number Of fowls. If one quart of
grain be led at night to 1e hens, and one
pound OF bone in the morning, It should
be ample for each day in winter. In sum-
mer only the bone need be given. Such
diet provides fat, starch, nitrogen.
phosphates, lime and all the substanc
required to enable the hens TO Law eee,.
AS an egg Is worth about three cents In
winter, it IL plain that 1t is cheaper to
feed bone than grain, as the greater
number OF eggs not only reduces the
total cost, but increases the profit al
well.
The bone-cutter is as necessary to the
as his feed mill. 1t enables
him to use an excellent and cheap food.
and gives him profit where he might
otherwise be compelled to suffer a loss,

THE OHIO SENATE
Elects the Hon. John +. Smiley
as Its Clerk.
1 National Spring Rem edy.

The distinguished member of the
Ohio senate, Hon. John f. Smiley, in
writing of Pe-ru-na, gave it as his
opinion that it is the greatest remedy
of the age. In saying this Of course he
is but reiterating what thousands of
other people are saying, and the chief
interest which attaches to his state
ment is the authority which his posi-
tion gives to it. Such men would not
write such things except there was
considerable enthusiastic belief behind
ii. He goes on to say that Pe-ru-na Is
an excellent remedy for catarrh, es-
pecially catarrhal diseases of the stom-
ach. AS this happens to be very
prevalent disease in the spring of the
year, this remark is especially timely,
1t Is catarrh of the stomach that pro-
duces the indigestion of springtime,
for which 1t is quite common to take
some spring medicine. Pe-ru-na does
not temporarily relieve these symp-
toms, but cures them by removing the
cause. Pe-ru-na is not a physic or
nervine, or a stimuant merely, but is
a natural invigorator of the whole sys-
TEN. Mr.. Smiley goes on further to
say that, as tonic, he believes Peru
ma has no equal. His remark is en-
tirely true. Pe-ru-na is an ideal spring
tonic, and is rapidly becoming the most
popular medicine in the world for this
purpose.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, of Columbus, Ohio, are
sending free volume of similar tes-
timonials, entitled The National Wit
ness. Send for copy Of It before the
edition Is exhausted.

No definite time has been set, but in
the course of a week or two several
important changes will be begun on
the several West Scranton lines of the
Scranton Street railway. 1t greatly
depends on the state of the weather as
to how soon these operations will be-
gin.
During the past two years ordinances
have been passed by the councils
granting the right of extension along
certain streets to the Scranton Railway
company and in accordance with these
ordinances many of these extensions
are to be put into running order this
spring. Many sections of this side,
heretofore, not reached by any mode
of public conveyance. will by this work
be conveniently reached. In fact in
one or two instances belt line may be
formed.
A few of the proposed extensions are
as follows: From SHETLAND street ter
minus at North Bromley avenue, along
/ Bromley to Lafayette, thence along
Lafayette to Van Buren,. This extern
| sion will be about 10 blocks in length
! and will reach into a territory in which
| the increase of residents Is, spreading.
| The Washburn street-Laurel Hill
| line will continue from it's present ter
| minus at South Fillmore avenue to
! Grant avenue along Grant to Jackson
! in a northerly line, and thence along
| Jackson to the city line, a distance of
about mile and a quarter. This ex-
| tension also effects a large territory,
| and WILL no doubt, be of great convent
| encc. In time the Swetland street and
| Washburn street lines can be connect
! ed and belt line formed
From its present terminus at Twen-
| ty-ScCond street the LuZerne street line
will be pushed along Luzerne street to
| the city line and may sometime be con-
neCted in belt line along the Back
road with the proposed Jackson street
terminus. Already the poles have been
hauled and placed at convenient points
for this latter extension and the rails
and ties will probably follow in about
| three weeks. The residents in this VIC
unity. especially from the different min
ing hanlets along the Back road are
| looking forward to the time when
walking will be luxury and shopping
trips be made in less than a day.

RESULT OF THE CAVE.

Thursday, March "a, in The Tribune
an exclusive account of the settling Of
the territory in the vicinity Of Horatio
and Lauer avenues was made. Yester-
day the attention of the street depart
ment was called to the condition of the
place.
Foreman Lavelle was notified that
the depression affecting portions of the
avenues in question had formed an eX-
cellent site for large pools of water
and the recent heavy rains had sup
piled the water. The matter was re-
ported to Street Commissioner Dun
ming and steps will be taken to repair
the streets and drain the water away.

ERIE CUTOFF AT GOSHEN.
Eife officials incorporate Company
TO Build the New Line.

The Goshen Railroad company was
incorporated Friday with a capital of
$1,000 to operate a standard steam
road two and three-quarters miles long,
from a point on the main line of the
Erie road, two and ore-half miles west
of the Erie railroads station i'll the
village of Goshen, to a point on the
company's line one and quarter
miles east of the Goshen station.
The proposed road is a cutoff, which
has long been talked of by different
Erie managements the object of which
is to do away with the heavy grades on
the present line. When the new road
is built all through passenger and
freight trains will be run over it, and
only local passenger and freight trains
will be run through Goshen village.
