Raising Chicks In Breeders.

From Farmers Review In our
management of brooders in raising
our young Orpington stock after we
have gotten the young chicks from
our incubators and hens to our brood
ers. we run them at uniform heat Of
95 degrees, keeping 1t thus for the
first two or three days, gradually low
ering it a degree day until 80 de-
grees is reached, and then keeping
heat so the chicks will not crowd.
We feed nothing for first seventy-two
hours, then we feed Chamberlain's
chick feed-fed exclusively every two
hours for the first week, then four
times daily until month old, and
after that three times q day. After
the first few days we vary the reed
by giving rolled oats. cracked corn,
wheat and green ground bone, keep
ing cut clover to scratch in. Fresh
water is always before them. We get
an early growth Of lettuce for the
little fellows, and, as soon as possible,
let them out of doors, keeping them
scratching and moving continually.
We dust them frequently with lice
powder. 1t goes without saying we
clean our breeders daily. At two
months of age we place our young
sters in colony houses and leave them
free to run on the range, feeding
morning and night cracked corn
varied by wheat and oats.-J. w.

RINGHANra RETIREMENT.

Washington. February 12-Genorai Gillespie, chief of engineers and author ot the order which replaces Colonel Bingham by Colonel Symons as super intendent of public buildings and grounds and master of ceremonies at the White House. has seen fit to corroct an erroneous impression that has gain ed currency to the effect that the change was made because of dissa tisfaction expressed by the president with Col. Bingham.
 The chief states that Colonel Bingham applied several months ago for relief from his present duties on the groun,i that he had served the usual term here. The change could not then be made. and it was not until the present that the successor to Colonel Bingham could be named.
 The change was not suggested from the White House. according to General Gillespie, who made the order. but was in accordance with the rules of tha str vice which does not permit unlimited details Of officers at one point. Colonel Bingham himself asserts that his lcla- ti0ns at-the White House haVe neer a::f are of the plcasantest character.

TO FINNEY COUNTY.
Western County Carried Off
Flag in Congressional Election
BIG POLITICAL EVENT
Will Be the Presentation at
Garden City |
EVEN T

The Edwards Flag goes to Finney
county. This has been definitely settled
and when the flag is finished the probable
ity is that its presentation at Garden City
will be made political event the biggest
in the history of the short grass country
Already men eminent In state politics
tr1ct urging that when the flag is pre-
scented it should be the occasion for a mon
ster political rally and picnic for the peo-
PIE of the western counties. They are
suggesting that Governor Bailey, Sen
ators Long and Burton and all the Kansas
congressman should be there and some
have gone so far as to suggest that Sem
ator Beveridge of Indiana make the prin-
cipal speech Senator Beveridge was. at
one time, a citizen of the short grass"
country, having practiced law at Dighton,
and il would be eminently fitting TO have
him at Garden City during the proposed
presentation festivities.
The history of the Edwards flag is an
interesting one. On the evening of the rat
if1cation Of Victor Murdock's nomination
for congress, at the Auditorium in this
city, ex-Secretary of Site w. c. Edwards
announced that he would give a silk flag
to cost not less than 500, to the county in
the district that would show the largest
percentage of increase at the coming spe-
cial election for congressman. Mr.. Ed
wards popularity in the district and state,
his great loyalty to his friends, and his
extraordinary activity in Republican poll
tics, with no personal interests to be adj
vanced, caused his flag proposition to
meet with such a warmreception that the
interest IN what county should get IL fell
but very little short of the interest in the
campaign itself. That 1t was a big infu-
ence in getting an apRthetic vote to the
polls is conceded by all. Republican lead
ers in every county wrote in to Judge Will
son during the campaign saying they were
going after Billy Edwards flag and
five counties at least made special efforts
to secure It, At first it was thought that

of the Republican candidate and the other
to contain the name OF Finney county
These names will be embroidered in siR

Mr.. Edwards insists on having q flag
that Will be the finest IN the state and
finer than any public flag OF the United
States His whole soul will be woven into
it for he loves the short grass" country
and believes that nothing is too good for
