Young chickens from four to six
months Of age are commonly used for
fattening. About four are placed In
coop, where they are fed three times
daily, as much as they will eat Of ground
grain, chiefly oats. At or near the end
Of the period Of fattening, which lasts
from four to six weeks, little talloW Is
added to the feed, which at all times Is
mixed with skim milk.
In trial with 100 chickens, Prof
James w. Robinson, Of Canada, found
that they almost doubled in weight In
SO days Of feeding For every pound
Of increase In live weight they consumed
5.44 pounds Of ground oats and 643
pounds skim milk. At one dollar per
100 pounds for ground oats and 20 cents
per 100 pounds skim milk, the cost was
nearly GA cents per pound gain for feed
only.
While the increase In weight was
nearly 100 per cent, this gain was mostly
Of flesh. Three chickens dressed before
fatteninR weighed, with feathers of
eight pounds and eight ounces, their
bones weighed one pound two ounces
and the edible meat two pounds six
ounces. After this period Of fattening
three chickens, OF the same quality at
the start, weighed with feathers off 1G
pounds four ounces, and the edible meat
seven pounds six ounces. Not only was
there a gain Of about 200 per cent. In edl-

Although the examining machine in
the hands of an expert will probably give
the best results in finished product, small
coops for fattening chickens will be
found the most profitable by most
chicken raisers. These coops are used
very largely in England and have been
adopted successfully by the Canadian
government. The accompanying Illus

parts, which will hold dozen chickens.

The lighting of the grounds at
night and the dancing pavilion and
vaudeville show proved a great draw
ing card as the attendance in the
evening was almost as large as dur

evening we're most beautiful and the
cool breezes among the trees made

week, and the weather could not have
been better if the directors had been
making it to order. The rain on
Tuesday evening laid the dust we'll

THIRD ANNUAL FAIR

say that all of the hundreds who
witnessed these performances each
evening were pleased.
In spite of the large crowds there
were only few slight accidents, the
most serious of which was that of l..
Nj. Hunter, who won the broncho
busting contest on Frontier day. His
horse jumped the fence and fell over
on him causing injuries which neces-
STATED the use of crutches for sever
al days.
The delegation of Pueblo business
men, in charge of Mayor Brown, rep
resenting most of the leading
wholesale houses of the city, spent
Friday in Lamar and at the fair
grounds and were all enthusiastic in
praise of our fair. They seemed to
enjoy everything that was handed out
to them, even the jokes of the Den
YER vaudeville troupe. They also
took their turn at the dancing pa
vilion, having left their better halves
at home. Mr.. Willets, of the State
Worlds Fair Board, WAS present and
declared the Lamar fair grounds by
far the most beautiful in the state
and some of the displays, especially
the native grasses, as unequalled
anywhere.
Entering the art hall and passing
the secretaiy's office on the right the
first thing to attract attention was an
array of bread, cake, pies, jams, jel
lies and preserves, which made ones
mouth water, and even if just after a
hearty meal, one felt like a great de
sire filed needed to be satisfied. The
display WAS very fine. Next in order

was a collection of potted plants and
flowers, and the booth looked like Il
veritable flower garden. 1t was a
surprise to many, that such beauti-
full and rare plants were to be found
in the homes of the "out west" peo-
pie. There WAS piano aid few
other musical articles in the next
booth and frequent strains of music
came therefrom, and there was al
WAYS more or less of crowd around
Across the way, was display that
attracted the most attention, aud
kept many gazing for long time.
Show cases filled with the most beau
tiful works of the needle, laces, EN-,
broidery, drawn work aud other arti
cles, sofa and chair cushions, doilies,
towels, in fact every thing one could
think of to make room cozy and
comfortable The walls were also
hung with like articles, besides pict
ures, brio brac and linens. Then
came the exhibition of the work done
by the pupils in the public schools,
and many spent much time there,
looking over the different specimens.
Essays by pupils in all grades, be
sides lesson papers on history, geog-
raphy and other studies were inspect.
ed and were pronounced good. The
specimens of drawing displayed
showed that Lamar had many who
have much skill in that line, while
the writing books were something to
be proud Of Many other articles
we're in the art hall, but it is hardly
possible to name them all. The art
hall display was success and was
enjoyed by all who visited there.
Supt. G. A Watson, of the agri
cultural department, had by hard
labor succeeded in collecting fine
display in spite of the backward
season. In the garden section j. $

fusal to sell season aud fsmily tick

lieved that there will be . return to

LOST SIGHT OF
A Most Important Aid to Education.

An important point often overlooked
by parents in bringing up children is the
use Of proper food as an aid to educa-
tion.
Children make wonderful progress
when scientifically fed.
A little woman in East Brentwood, N.
h, says of her grlhood days: II was
never very rugged and cold lunches and
hearty evening meals and improper food
soon began to work serious havoc.
Then came a period of self-boarding
while away at college and it is now easy
to see where, in the haste to acquire
knowledge the true knowledge of proper
and nourishing food was neglected. The
result, as may be ina gined. was indiges-
ton, dyspepsia and constipation. Then
followed a weary time Of dieting. and.
one after another. physicians were con-
suited, till hope Of permanent cure was
abandoned. Then. two years after leav-
Ing school. I entered new home as a
bride. and having grown wiser through
experience, I resolved to use food in ac-
cOrdance with hygienic principles. This
was also necessary as I could not eat
anything at all rich. 49,. ~
I'VE commenced to use Grape-Nuts and
soon became convinced that it was the
most nutritious food we could obtain. l
noticed an immediate improvement in
my health. my indigestion became less
marked ana eventually lett me Tor good.
1T is, now two years that we have
eaten Grape-Nuts regularly, and I was
never as we'll in my life as now. I have
gained ten pounds in weight and can eat
without causing the slightest distress,
the richest kind Of food as well as any
one, the dyspepsia Is entirely gone and
constipation never troubles me.
This may not interest others, but II
is of great interest to us. for it is our
firm belief that my present good health
is due solely to the constant use OF
Grape Nuts and we feel that we have
great reason to be thankful to the maker
of such perfect and delicious food. :
