~ the meeting Of the Illinois Dairy.
msn's association, recently held 81
Aurora, F. N. Munger, Of De Kalb, NJ,
read . paper with the above title.
What he had to cay would apply
equally as well to poultry on any
farm an that kept one one where dairy.
ing is the leading feature.
Speaking Of the things needed to
make poultry pay, he said the first
thing was: Do not feed the hens too
heavily or make it too easy for them
to get their food. Make them scratch,
and six inches of straw is noneE, too
little depth in which to scatter their
feed.
2. The second thing needed Is .
warm poultry house. If the hauss
can be made warm in no other way
bank it up with straw. Have .:sthe
house large enough as well as warm,
for poultry to do well must have
room and warmth.
Suppose you wish house for 50
hens, build it sx20 feet ground space;
have the stills and top plates of 2x4
stun, use 12-feet boards cut in two,
the seven feet lengths for the front
or south side, the hve-feet lengths for
the back or north side. The Same
length boards will cut without waste
for the ends. Ten-feet boards will do
first rate for the roof if covered with
good tarred paper nicely put on.
Have ceiling of cheap boards COW
cred with tarred paper to add
warmth. Have the location dry and
give the full floor space to the fowls,
arranging the nests and perches and
shelf for droppings as suits your
fancy to secure this. Run six-inch
or foot partition through the middle
Of the building next to the floor to
make scratching-room.
No need of the whole south side be.
ing of glass, as was once the idea.
Have the building tight so there are
no drafts. A shelter like belt Of
trees or high fence on the north and
west sides will add to the warmth Of
the house, and warmth we must have.
Have the house dust dry and we'll
ventilated and keep it scrupulously
clean.
Glover should be provided, as it COM
tains lime and other elements suited
to promote egg production-it is as
as truly an egg producer as milk
producer. Chopped clover moistened
with hot water or steamed may be
fed once every day. Chopped vege-
tables cannot be substituted.
Exercise, warmth, cleanliness and
variety in food are the essential fac
tors in egg production.

Cat Green Bone for Hens.

The browning advantage of finely cut
green bone is its succulency and its
partial solubility from retention of its
natural juices; hence to cut coarse is
to fail of best results. This valuable
hen food should be fed sparingly.
Three pounds per day is about the right
quantity for, 100 hens and the best re-.
suits will be obtained by feeding. it in
the morning, say one-half ounce per
fowl with warm mash. Through the
day allow your fowls all the cut clover
and vegetables they will eat. Give va
riety of vegetables from day to day
and always keep supply of clean drink
ing water and sharp grit within reach
Of your fowls. Toward evening give
them a light feed of corn or wheat or
other hard grain Ohio Farmer.

STEAMER SINKS.
The Will J. Cummins Goes Down
Near Clifton.

SALTmIo, Tenn. April 20. The
steamer w. j. Cummins struck d
snag near Beech Creek island In
the Tennessee River, four miles
below Clifton, sinking in less than
twenty minutes, Friday at II
o'clock. The ill-fated steamer,
which plies tri-weekly between
Savannah and Johnsonville, had
left Clifton going down about
1920 q. m. When entering Beech
Creek Island schultz very danger
GUS part Of the river, Che wind
blowing at a terrific rate, carried
her oat of the channel against a
snag, striking the boat near the
bow, tearing q very large hole in
her hold. Then the wind forced
her against the timber, where she
began to fill and finally settled
down In water to the depth Of ten
feet.
Fortunately no lives were lost,
nc one was hurt, and the cargo
was nothing but a small lot Of bag
gage. Fire brook out from the
stove capsizing, but was soon ex-
tinguished.
The steamer was owned by the
st. Louis q Tennessee River Pack
ct Company and was formerly
run on the Cumberland River and
was worth about $4,000. Capt.
Harry Akell was master and
Charles g. Lewten clerk. The

Cumsins will be raised at once
and be ready to resume her trade.

THREE IMPORTANT MEASURES
Last Days Of the Legislature. The
Town Charter Bill.

The only matter bordering on
the nature Of unpleasantness was
the concurrence of the Senate in
the House amendment to the town
charter bill. This was Mr.. Seay's
measure which allowed towns to
surrender their charters upon the
majority vote of the people. The
Senate amended the original bill
SO as to require a two-thirds vote.
The House struck out this amend
ment and passed it back to the
Senate on the majority vote basis.
Just as soon as the Senate assem-
bled after the dinner recess the
question came up with other bills
to concur in the House amend
ments. The motion to concur was
carried, but when MIR. Bean reach
ed the Senate chamber he brought
|up the subject again and attempt
ed to have the record expunged
showing that the amendment had
been concurred in. He was sup
ported in his fight against Mr..
Seay by the other two members Of
the triumvirate.
Mr.. Seay finally agreedto have
the record erased SO that the vote
could be taken over again. In do
ing this, however, he remarked
that be was yielding to men who
had been heartless in their actions
and would not fail to take advan-
tage of a situation to carry their
point.
QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

personal privilege and denied that
he had ever shown heartlessness on

feet, fills all the requirements in

were several bills on the constitu-
tional amendments; the bill to pro-
lhihit prize lighting, and the meas
lure to require street railways to
