Feeding For Eggs.

We say without hesitation that if we
were to make our deliberate choice in the
matter Of selecting the best single feed
stuff for forcing the winter production Of
eggs we would take green cut bone, made
from fresh bones and fed as soon as cut.
There is no other single feed that is as
valuable as this.
Every poultry breeder who Can get a
supply Of bones misses an opportunity to
make money when he fails to get bone
cutter and feed his growing chicks and
laying hens green cut bone.
Here difficulty arises. In great
many places it is impossible TO get the
bones. The supply may be small, the
demand great, or butcher shops too remote
to make it possible to secure a supply OF
bones regularly. In such case we freely
advise the substitution of beef scrap, such
as is sold for poultry food. 1t contains a
large percentage of protein, and this pro-
TEN is as valuable pound for pound as any
other that can be got from any source
I his beef scrap is cooked, dried and
ground to various conditions of ineness
and hens relish i, very much, eating it
freely .-TuIf. Farm and Home.

Watervile Mail: The free use of bad
liquor seems responsible for another
brutal murder, Chesuncook being this
time the scene of the tragedy. When
the CONDITIONS existing in many such
places are considered, the only wonder
l. that there are so few happenings of
this sort. A load of the sort uf drink
used dissipates mans self-control so
completely that he is likely to do what
ever the within or passion of the moment
suggests.

OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT
DEAD. EbtEtbtt4

The death of President Mckinley
comes as direct personal loss to
every true American. There was
something about the character of this
great strong typical American citi-
zen that endeared him to the heart of
the people more than any one else
who has filled the Presidency during
this generation. His humble origin,
his history as a soldier rising from
the ranks to high position, the vari-
GUS steps in his political career which
eliminated in the bestowal upon him
him twice over the highest honor in
the gift of the ma ton, his modesty UNI
der the honors repeatedly thrust
upon him, his steadfastness in the
face of abuse where he should have
found support, his clear-headed state
manship whereby. the country was
safely carried through great crisis
all combined to endear him to the
heart of every citizen,
Every citizen feels as though he has
lost an elder brother
The deep damnation of his taking
off appeals to all The utterly cause
less and alas successful assault upon
his life has thrilled the nation with
horror and aroused deep personal
resentment against all in any way re-
sponsible for the assault. That they
must be sought out and punished to
the uttermost is the demand of all
but that punishment must be under
due form of law,
The fondest hopes not alone of the
people of America but those of all
lands are crushed
Our beloved president is dead.
This death surely will arouse our
nation to the necessity of speedily in
augerating safeguards for virtue and
goodness everywhere.
No dying man ever spoke words
more indicative of the greatness of
his character than did William Nc
Kinley: "It is Gods way His will
be done"
And sorrowfully and tearfully the
nation echoes these words, ....

editorial in which it predicted that
