Poultry Notes

When your hens have a nice liberal run on grass or in clover they need no other feed. especially if the grass or clover receives q good wetting oc- casionally.
 Wha. does the buyer of eggs from thoroughbred fowls? He buys stock If the eggs bought ba from Standard bred birds what does the buyer get? Stock with To s of experience and money back Of it. h truth a Standard breeder of fowls never sholud sell eggs at all except at commensurate prices.
 What are ,te greatest errors com mon 10 poultry raisers? Over-feeding on the one hand and lack or variety upon the other. Indignation and yer min kill more poultry stock than any other TWO things.
 After all Is said and done and the culturist has successfully carried his stock along and produced largely of meat and eggs. he is yet a failure in the business if he doesn't know how 70 market these products to the best advantage.
 Limbs of trees. buggy poles. fence rails and the like are better sleeping places for fowls than filthy houses and GOODS. They know this or they wouldn't go there The higher the bird at roasting time from the gases resultant of its excrement the better for the conservation of its health. Houses. therefore. that are open a. the bottom all round (they can easily been closed by wire mesh) so that air may be allowed to carry away those gases are the best that can be made, the fowls roostng above the open ing.

Third, or who now alive imagineS that

a traitor more than once before; the
signing OF an oath signifies littlet 10 him.
for he is without honor. The man who
had himself declared dictator and gave
instructions to kill all prisoners taken
would not hesitate for moment to sub.
scribe TO an oath il he thought thereby
he could gain his freedom and escape
from his captors. Aguinaldo is a turn

idle for Democrats, such as compose the
Texas Legislature, to pass resolutions
condemning Funston and extolling the
rebel chief. Their own party men in
the north, or anywhere else except in
the hotbed of former rebellion, con-
denim the course taken. II Aguinaldo
sincerely accepts American sovereignty
and eXerts himself TO bring about the

FIRE!
The Pioneer Roller Mills And
Elevator il Ruin.
An Eight thousand Dollar Loss.


About $40 last night the people of
our city were aroused by the ringing
of the fire bell and the blowing of a
locomotive whistle, and upon looking
around found the Pioneer Roller Mills
and elevator ablaze.
The fire department, most of whom
were attending the contest at the
Presbyterian church, were delayed
considerable in getting to the mill to
do much good, as the fire had gained
too much Roadway to be checked.
The mill and elevator were totally
destroyed. The mill ard elevator
cost $21, GOO and was insured for s13. 0O0
The fire started in the. engine room,
but no one knows how the fire origin
ated, as the engineer, Mr.. Aumiller,
had taken a good look and examined
the room before leaving about $50
and everything was perfectly safe at
G1dU UlLne.
W. NJ. Chef, proprietor of the mill,
was at Clay Center and when he re-
turned this morning was very much
shocked to see his mill in ashes.
This is indeed a great loss to Mr.
Chelf and the people of cur city and
county, as it was the pride OF Phillips
burg, it being the best equipped mill
in northwest Kansas and was making
No. l flour and doing large bust
ness.
Mr.. Chelf had recently placed a new
81 800 engine in the mill and had
everything up-to-date.
Mr.. Chelf has not as yet decided to
rebuild, but it is quite likely that he
will.
