VERY OLD TABLETS.
New Light on the Earliest History
of the World.
Remarkable Discoveries OF Dr.. xEiI.
precht Rt Nippur-HavidaAos OF
Civilization Earlier Than Sup
posed Time OF Adam and mvs,

Prof, H. v, Hilprecht. of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who has been
exploring the mountains of ancien;
Nippur, in Asia Minor, arrived in New
York the other morning on the
steamer Friedrich der Crosse from
Bremen. Prof. Hilprecht brought
with him some of the tablets marked
with cuntiform inscriptions, which he
recently discovered in an old temple
on the ru;ns of Nippur. These tab.
let's contain records of civilization
which eNistcd as long ago as 5000 B. C.
tia; is. US long before Abraham as
Abyai,am was before our time.
Prof. IJiIprecht's coming has been
awaited anxiously by students inter
ested in the remote past, because his
discoveries are believed to have re-
organized the chronology of Biblical
times, extending it back many millen-
iumS prior to the old time reckoning
of the deluge, Therefore he is looked
upon as messenger bearing news of
the earliest records of civilization.
DR.. Hilprecht has been exploring
the mounds of ancient Nippur for II
years. His campaigns have heretofore
been most successful, but during the
past year he has made the greatest
discoveries of all, the finding Of the
library Of the ancient Temple Of Nip
pur and the remains of huge pal
ace having at least two stories and
containing many evidences OF what
might be called modern conveniences.
The library tablets throw a strong
light on how people lived at Nippur
at the time when Adam and Eve were
supposed to be living in the Garden
of Eden. Some of the tablets are
dictionaries, architectural plans,
building lists, grammatical exercises,
contracts bills Of sale. histories and
Chronological lists. and not only do
they form complete record of the
time. bat they indicate that the civ
ilization then existing was many
thousands OF years old They supply
many gaps which are known 10 exist
in Genesis; they turn light on the
origin 0f the Jews and the Jewish re-
ligion and they are wonderfully cor
rohorat;ve of the fucts outlined in the
Old Testament.

How Hen. wore Made 70 Lay

An interesting experiment made
in Dakota In regard to producing
eggs at time desired, is told as
follows by the Weekly Mall and E.r.
press;
The pens of pullets were placed
in condition as near equal as pos
sible. One pen, containing sixteen
hens was designed for breeding,
and IL was desired they should not
lay until toward spring. The 9th
or pen, containing eighteen hens,
was designed to produce eggs dur
ing the winter, the eggs were not
intended at all for Matching.
The experiment began in Dccem.
Der. The care, temperature, and
all other things, except the food,
were equal.
During December the early lay
ers produced five dozen and y
quarter OF eggs, the other pen not
an egg. In January the early lay
ers produced ten dozen and three
eggs, the late layers seven eggs.
In February the early layers pro
duced nine dozen eggs and the 9th.
er pen one dozen. In March the
early layers produced fifteen dozen
eggs, and the late layers three doz-
en- and half. In April the early
layers land ten dozen and four eggs,
From this time the breeders were
kept laying and produced III May
2Sl eggs, the early layers l42 eggs,
This shows conclusively that egg
producing may be governed In a
great measure.
The feeding is very simple, and
the early laying fowls were fed as
follows; Ia The morning boiled
lean meat, chopped with scraps
from the table, and during the day
all the wheat screenings they could
eat, with corn twice "a week. They
were, OF course ,watered daily auu
had some milk lU drink.
The hen not intended for laying
were fed on poor wheat screenings
with corn. The fowls grew and
waxed fat, until they seemed too
fat and no doubt were, for laying.
As spring came on the food was
changed, and, AS it was the naturai
time for laying they produced eggs
in abundance.
The ordinary poultry raiser feeds
too much corn and wheat. Hens
are fed literally twice a day, and
are fed on a steady diet of one or
two things, either corn or wheat
and both are fattening. Hence our
hens do not pay, and poultry rails.
ing is snare and delusIon to the
one who is not wide awake and up
to date in caring for the fowls.
Meat is known to be a great egg
producer. Cleanliness and warmth
is absolutely essential, A hen
with frozen comb might about as
we'll be killed unless she is valu.
able one whose eggs will make
good Matching in the spring.
We feed our cattle for beef, our
hogs for lean or fat; we feed COWS
for milk or butter. Then why NOT
discriminat in feeding our poultry?

OF Second Assistant Postmaster Genera
William Shallenberger, made public to-
day, urges regular direct fast mail serv-
ice between the Pacific coast and the
Orient, the establishment of pneu-
matte tube service generally and the
closer separation of city mail by postal
clerks on railway trains rather than by
clerks of the mailing division after its
arrival in the general postofiee.
Under the last named proposition the
entire force engaged in distributing the
mail ready for the carriers would be IN
Ger one management, and congestion in
a Dostof1ce could be overcome by the
temporary detail of railway mail clerks
on duty The city distribution in pos
tai cars has been assumed entirely bv
the railway mail service, supplanting the
former practice Of having clerks from
the city postoffice go out some distance
on the road to meet incoming trains.
Constant demands are now being made
Tor still closer separation by having the
railway mall clerk superintendent in

public and see that it is exoeditiouslv
