YOUR DAILY PAPER.

1t is now nearly four months
siuce the present firm took charge
of The TRIBUNE, and it is with n
great deal of just pride and salts
faction, even after this compara-
lively short time, that the results
of our efforts are reviewed.
The subscription list has in
creased substantially from the
very first, and the proprietors have
reason to believe that this growth
is the result of actual merit The
splendid endorsements of those
who see and read THE TRIBUNE
leads to this conclusion.
Most Of the business houses of
the town are represented in it's adj
vertising columns; there are Others
that should be, but are not at
this time. 1t is fact that daily
paper is one of the strongest and
safest criterions by which strang-
ers may judge of the progress and
enterprise of the town in which
such paper is published. and
while THE TRIBUNE has not the
undivided support of the mer-
chants of Florence, yet there can
be no doubt that every business
man in town will, with consid-
erable pride, tell tho stranger
that Florence has daily paper.
aud also that it is the only daily
newspaper published in Fremont
county.
For what The TRIBUNE is at this
time its proprietors wish to ex-
press sincere gratitude to those
who have contributed to its sup
port in the way of patronage Ev-
cry paper is as good as the people
OF The town in which it is pub
lished make it. 1t can be no bet
ter. There is u considerable bur
den of expense attached to pub
fishing daily paper, perhaps
more than most men unacauainted
with the business would anticipate.
1t therefore requires very general
support to make such an enterprise
n continued success.
1t is the intention of the man
ngement of THE TRIBUNE to exert
every effort to increase its value ms
an organ, IN proportion to the pat
ronage which it receives; to CON
tlnue to merit the good will and
hearty support of the entire COM
munity.

this sort of fattening will stop egg
laying because the condition of the
fowls is abnormal. Take the same
flock and feed it wheat and corn and
it does mot matter how much they get
to eat if the feed is given to them so
it must be dug out of litter before eat
en-. When fed in this way the crop is
not filled at once and the fowls do
not gorge themselves until they feel
like sitting down and letting the feed
in their crops digest. They keep on
digging and the feed digests almost
as fast as eaten, and at the same time
the muscles are kept strong and all
the functions in their normal condi-
ton. A hen that works for her feed
cannot be made too fat to lay eggs if
the feed is the right kind. Wheat,
oats, corn and milk, part Of the
feed being of each, makes as good
egg food as can be found, and the
farmer who does not have eggs in

hens, but it is not absolutely necessa-
ry. Butcher scraps can almost always
be bought cheaply in country towns.
Dried and ground meat is sold at a
low price, and where rabbits are plen-
ty they can be got for little trouble
and one is enough for hundred hens
a week. While all these forms of
meat feed are good and it lis desirable
that some one or more of them be fur
nished, the hens will lay without any
of them if they are given milk as a
substitute for meat. The talk of fat

exploitation of false theory.-Farm'

Fresh Eggs.

AT this season it is not the large
cities that have difficulty in getting
strictly fresh eggs, but the small
towns and villages. Those having
eggs send them off to the cities be-
cause it is much easier to do SO than
to take them to the customers direct,
the consequence being that the city
markets are nearly always better sup
piled than the towns. Eggs are. selling
at five cents a dozen more in some viii
lagos than in large cities. Eggs can be
had, it is true, but the article needed
is the "st1ictly fresh" eggs, which are
seldom to be had unless procured
from reliable parties. Even in the
cities the merchants are compelled to
'candTe'' the eggs-that is, assert
them-so as to discard all that night
not be we'll up to the requirements,
and the buyers of eggs pay good prize
es for "candled' eggs, as they have
no means Of knowing of them until
they are used. In the towns the farm
ers cam get good prices and build up a
trade with regular customers, who

fowl. In fact, with Plymouth Rock
and Brahma hens, we have sometimes
thought the yearling fowls were liable
to get SO fat that their eggs would not
be fertile, or the chickens strong. 1t

matter and many other questions, and

Pedigreed Poultry.

There is not and very likely never
try. Although some people have a
pen for every hen out off a little bunch
of choice birds and claim to be able
to trace the lineage of some of their
chicks back through generation,
perhaps three or four generations,
but the impossibiIty lies in the fact
that new blood must be brought into
the flock and this brings about the
necessity Of procuring strange birds
from other yards, and the trouble of
maintaining separate pens for each
hem, with the necessary expense, will
make all such attempts result finally
in failure. And yet there is much in
this line that can be done in a general
way; for instance, we might select
from our flock half DOZEN of our
very best hens, those that we know
are good layers and of fine form, and
from these we may select the best
eggsand set these alone, to secure our
stock of poultry for next years bust
ness. We can afford a better male for
this yard and put all the money in
this one that we should have paid for
three or four others to place at the
head of the whole flock. It is through
this sort of management that the
poultry interests have been put in the
present prominent and profitable con-
dition The fancy breeders have done
many things that causes them to de-
serve the appreciation Of their fellow
beings. It is true that many of them
pay a great deal too much attention
to the fancy markings and some use
less points not often seen or cared for
by the general pubic, yet we must
not forget the benefits that we have
received from their hands. And it is
our honest belief that every farm
should have a pen of select fowls to
produce the setting eggs. They need
not be separated until midwinter and
can be turned out when the season
for Matching has BEEN closed and the
natural laws of survival of the fittest
will be greatly facilitated by such ar

Fat Hens.

There are a good many hens in this
country which are being starved be-
cause their owners fear they will get
too fat to lay and another lot that are
actually too fat to be of amy use. This
may seem like a contradictory state
m,ent, but it is not, for the usefulness
of hen does not depend on her con-
dition so much as on the way she has
been made fat. The truth of the mat
ter is that there is a large amount of
theory a1oat concerning the proper
treatment of laying hens and most OF
this will not stand the test of plac-
tice.
We have tried some experiments in
feeding hens of two breeds. The first
was with Plymouth Rocks and the
second with Leghorns, and in both in
stances very fat hens laid as we'll as it
is possible to make them in this cOun-
try. We are told that to make hens
fat is to produce a tendency to sit.
This may be true with hens kept in
some back yard and fed all they will
eat of fattening feed, without giving
them any opportunity to take eNer-
else.
The Plymouth Rocks were kept con-
fined and fed enough so as to make
them very fat. In fact, they were
bought for the sole purpose of fatten-
ing to- eat. In order to give them prop
er exercise to keep them in good
health they were compelled to scratch
their feed out from among a lot OF
rubbish of leaves and straw, and by
the time two or three of them had
been eaten the others began to lay so
many eggs that it would have been
waste of money to eat them. This
was not spasmodic laying, either

Experience in Matching.

a writer in the Poultry Monthly
reIa ties the experience he had last
spring in Matching eggs from pullets
and from old hens. He first set two
hens on twenty-six eggs, all from pull
lets. On the 23d day fifteen chickens
Matched from the twenty-siX eggs. He
then put the same male with Old hens,
and in due time set two hens on fit
teen eggs each. From the thirty eggs
he Matched out tWenty-siX chickens on
the goth day, and they were larger
and stronger than those from the pull
let's eggs.
We do not doubt his statement at
all, but it proves nothing. The fact
that the setting of the pullets' eggs
was done some five or six weeks earli-
er than the hens eggs were tried prob
ably had more to do with the fertility
of the eggs and the apparent 1iveliness
of the chicks than did the age of the
bird that laid the egg. We think If
one-haM the eggs hatch that we set in
March or early I'm April that we have
good hatch, and if we waited five or
six weeks later before setting eggs
from the same fowl, we should expect
that nearly every egg would hatch.
If we cared to test the matter we
would let the same male run with
both pullets and old hens, say a half
day with each, and then set the eggs
al at one time. Even then, unless
there was largen lumber OF tests
made, the quietness of the hen that
was doing the Matching, her strict at
tention to business and good health
might cause one hen to hatch out
more and stronger chickens than an
other.
We have no prejudice in favor OF
eggs from pullets, and, indeed, do not
care to use the first eggs laid by a
pullet for Matching, but we have many
times used them from the first litter
the puMet laid, and have had very
good reason to think they Matched
quite as well and gave as large and
vigorous chickens as eggs from older
