EGG RAT,ONS.
How Hens Should Be FED to Secure the Best
Results.

MAINLY OH gram pullOlllSu lIOll
his landlords cribs, says the Coun-
try Gentleman. 1t came to be re-
marked that his hens laid well, and
his landlord asked him one day
"How is it that your hens lay so
we'll and | get SO few eggs?" Feed |
your hens like / do and then
they'll lay" This anecdote con-
veys the first principle in feeding
for eggs-feed plentifully. Peo-
pie who are afraid that their hens
will get too fat to lay" are not
likely to get many eggs 1t re-
quires a great deal of material to
make eggs-they contain much
food in small space-and the hen
must have an abundance of feed
to carry on the manufacture and
at the same time to live. In feed
ing for eggs in Winter, a great
amount of feed is required to keep
up bodily heat, even when warm
quarters are provided for the fowls.
Not only should laying hens be
fed literally, but it is equally inn
portant that they should have bal
anced rations. By this is meant
that the proteine feeds, such as
middlings, bran, skim milk, etc,
should bear a certain proportion to
the carbonaceous food, represent
ed, mainly, by corn. An egg con
tains large amount of proteines
and if hen is fed on corn alone
which contains little porteine, she
can not be expected to lay many
eggs. For a balanced ration of
mixed feed | would recommend
the following: Corn meal $50
pounds; ground oats, 100; bran, so;
middlings, so; animal meal, so
pounds.
Feed once day, at noontime,
although many prefer to feed the
warm mixed feed in the morning
But it is my experience that it
is better for hens to get warm by
exercise in the morning, and there
fore | scatter the whole grain on
the Uttered floor in the morning
Feed hen mess of warm feed
i'll the morning and she will stand
around and wait for the next meal.
The animal meal is rich in pro-
teine being ground meat and bone,
and is necessary for laying hens,
during the season when they can
not get insects and worms on the
range. Some prefer green cut
meat and bone, and this is good
where it can be obtained conven-
iently; but it is usually more costly
when taking into consideration the
amount of water in it.
Clover hay is first class egg
food 1t should be chopped fine,
scalded with boiling water, and al
lowed to stand over night in a
covered vessel. Next day mix
with meal, season with salt and
feed warm. 1t is a good plan to
grow a patch of cabbage to furnish
green food for the hens during the
Winter. Hang some heads in the
hen-houses, and they will soon
whittle them to nothing. The very
best use to make of the small po-
tatoes is to boil them, and, mixing
with feed, give as an occasional
mess to fowls.
Skim milk is excellent for laying
hens. 1t is a good plan to feed a
little whole corn every night, so as
to nicely fill their crops.
Wheat, oats and buckwheat are
good for variety. Ground oyster
shells and grit should always be |
kept in boxes where they can helpI

COLONEL RANsDELL's PRESENT.
It Is One That Speaks Warmly of
the Giver's Friendship,

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 25.-Colonel Daniel
NJ. Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms of the
senate, received an unexpected Christi
mas gift. Colonel Ransdell received an
extremely promising looking box. 1t
looked as if it might contain anything
good, from diamonds to candy. With
a heart that beat high with anticipa-
ton, the colonel opened it and found
something swathed in large quantities
of gold foil.
The care with which the unknown
giver had sought to preserve the git
from injury in transit, by means OF ex-
celsior and other arrangements, inii-
Gated that the present was valuable.
Colonel Ransdell, with infinite care, dis
entangled the package from it's wrap
pings and held up to the view of his as
tonished bordinates-fourteen ounces
of anthracite coal.

City Election.


held in Grants Pass on Monday. 1t
was, generally speaking, a quiet one, (
and while the most intense interest
was apparent on the part of portion
of the voters, many others evinced no
interest whatever. A light vote was
polled. The registration lists con
tain the names Of perhaps two-ihirds
: of the voters Of the city, and OF these
perhaps three-fourths voted, while
there were some who "swore IN
their votes. The main interest, as
usual. centered in the election Of the
mayor and this was quite a warm con
test. j. f. Bashor, the Labor candi-
date, received the labor vote, while
the temperance vote also went largely
to Bashor He was opposed by the
saloon men, who threw their support
generally to Dean, though it Is said
there was no organized effort on their
part, neither candidate being es-
pecially favorable to their interests.
In the first ward, Bashor received
majority of 80 votes, while Hair and
Galeener, the nominees for council
man, tied with 53 votes each.
In the second ward, Dean received a
majority of four votes. j. L. Calvert
defeated 7. A. Hood, the Labor candi-
date, by "A.
The third ward was Deans by the
large majoity of 81 in a total of 10,
while ]. A. Rehkopf defeated Henry
Hitler by 80.
The fourth ward went as strongly for
Bashor, giving him a majority Of 49,
Perkins, the Labor candidate, defeated
Henry Schmidt by II.
Bashor's majority in the city was
32. Col. W. johnson was reelected
city treasurer without opposition.
Following is the vote for mayor in
the several wards:
First Ward Bashor II, Dean 36
second ward-Bashor A, Dean 49,
third ward-Bashor 81, Dean 48
fourth ward-Bashor 13, Dean 30
Total for Bashor, 209; for Dean, III.
Bashor's majority, 80.
The vote for councilmen stood a,
follows:
First Ward-Galeener 53; Hair, 53
Second Ward-Hood, So; Calvert, 52
Third Ward-Hiller, 21; Rehkopf
"a.
Fourth Ward-Perkins, so; Schmidt
49,.
Total vote cast, 3S9.

pany as freight clerk He is a mal
high in the respect and esteem of al
his acquaintances. W. E. Dean, tn,
unsuccessful candidate, has been on
of our solid business men for man,
years and is very highly esteemed il

The tie vote in the second ward is
peculiar and rather puzzling featur
of the election. The election law
make no provision for this sort %
dilemma. The term of Office of
councilman continues until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified. \
there is no election in this case,
seems that Councilman Hough ma
sit serene in his scat for another yea
if he so pleases. Should Hough re
sign, the council would elect his sue
cessor, but would be under no lega
obligation to elect either Galeene
or Hair.

which provides for the sale of the
the towDsites at public auction.
No legislation in years has startled
people so much as this treaty
which, il passed, will affect thou-
sands who have bought right of
possession in these towns and
erected permanent improvements
with a view of purchasing the lot
at an appraised value. The new
treaty gives the owner OF improve
ments no priority of rights. The
effect of the provision is already
being felt. All building in the
towns has stopped. The railroads
will fight the treaty on account Of

taw Indians will also oppose it on

provision by which it is proposed
to sell the mines st public auc-
tion.

A crusade is about To be inaugurated
by the federal authorities against the
selling OF alleged Lemon Extract" +"
"bitters," etc, in Vinlta. The VII
famous stuff is simply disguised alco-
hol, and its sale is flagrant violation
OF the law. Several days ago at Mi
ami, a man was convicted OF selling
the deadly stuff anu was sent the
Muskogee route by Commissioner
Stanfield. Yesterday several witnesses
in case before the commissioner
here, appeared 10 court ia an intoxi-
Gated condition. On being questioned
they confessed TO having purchased
the villainous stuff here. The CON-
missioner will have the sellers ar
rested and they will be vigorously
prosecuted. There are several stores
in Vinita that are selling these
poisonous concoctions, and 1t is about
time the traffic was stopped.
