Eggs in Winter.

It pays to make a specially Of produc-
ing winter eggs at the usual prices, and
there is every prospect that eggs will be
unusually high this winter, says the "Tri-
hune Farmer"
I trying to get winter eggs one of the
most important points is dividing fowls
in small hocks, not more than 20 toge-
ther. To one who has little experience
with fowls it may seem that with the
same feeding and care a hundred hens
kept together ought to produce as many
eggs each as when divided in small f1ocks,
but experience teaches US that increasing
the size of the flock without furnishing
separate quarter for each % or so hens
means fewer eggs from each hen. The
2OO-egg hens we hear so much about are
not found in large focks. To one who
loves and takes pride in poultry there is
nothing more pleasing to loo on than
1ocks of uniform size, shape and age.
Hens and pullets should be kept sep
arate. What would be the right amount
of food for the pullets would be too much
for the Lens.
In one farming community n%eighbors
who keep a number of winter layers com
bine and ship their eggs to a grocer in a
large city, once a week in winter. By
care in keeping and shipping only fresh
eggs top prices are obtained.
In cold weathe: it is a common practice
to keep eggs intended for market in the
living rooms, where the temperature is
normal. They become stale in a week or
less time. When one makes a business of
producing eggs for market he cannot
afford to put even a few stale eggs in a
-crsats Warmth 500 causes eggs to lose
tl.ri. fr. hness. They should be stored
when the temperature is very near the
freezing point, and should be covered
with sawdust to exclude the air. In this
way they may be kept a week and yet be
truthfully marked fresh.
Thin shelled eggs are not fit to ship
The hens that lay them are out of con-
dition, and need a change of feed, less of
it, and more exercise. Overfed and
stimulated fowls are seldom satisfactory
ether as breeders or producers.

ga Sad death.

The death of Vera, the little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Vaughan, at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Boyd, last
Friday evening was more than ordinarily
pathetic and sad. Mrs. Vaughan,
daughter of Emsley Ridenour, and
neice of Mrs. Boyd, came down from
Sumpter to spend the holidays. The
child took i'll soon after arrival in Athe-
ma and continued to grow worse until
Thursday of last week, when it was seen
that death was only a question of a
little while. The little spirit fingered
until 7:30 Friday morning, when it
answered the call of Him who guards it
in eternal rest. A loveable little mite
p months of age, endeared to father,
mother, relatives and friends, her death
was like the folding Of the petals of
some rare flower, which nature gave for
short time to comfort hearts that are
now bleeding with sadness. The little
form was laid to rest in the Weston Gem
etery Saturday afternoon For the kind
administrations of all, the bereaved
parents offer gratitude and thanks such
as can only come from hearts torn with
the sorrow Of having lost tirst-born.

Col. Wood and Our Dog.

Anyone wanting good dog with bad
habits, can be accommodated by calling
at the PRESS Office. He is of the spotted
English pointer persuasion and is plop.
erly endowed with pedigree as long as
Senator Mitchell's planet Mars railway.
"Joe," as he is known to every man, wo-
men or child in Athena, has been going
from bad to worse for some time. The
Press man has put up with his short
comings with patience that from this
time on ceases to be virtue. In most
humiliating and ground-in-the-dust man
ner, he squared matters with the woman
who caught "Joe" coming out of her
cellar with roll of butter in his mouth;
he bent to the inevitable and produced
the price of a family washing that had
been playfully torn from the line and
trod in the mud, but the climax has come
and the confidence in the canine species
is shattered. After a much deserved
chastisement, "Joe" skulked off to Wes-
ton, and, while we have no direct evil
dence, indications go to show that he
must have fallen into Col. Woods COM
pany. What followed we are unable to
say, but ".(oe" spent the night in Wes-
toms Jail and when Marshal Lavender
delivered him up the next day he was the
dog -ponest looking dog we ever clapped
our eyes on. He was literally "shot
up" and looked az though refrigera-
tor or two would not be bad poultice
for his head. We didn't see Col. Wood.

G. A. Sias, Of this city, who is on the
Oregon Lecture Course, recently de-
livered his lecture, "Martin Luther" at
Dayton, Wash. OF the lecture the Col
umbia Chronicle says
&c. A. Sias lectured to large aud
ience ut the opera house on Friday even
ing of last week. His subject was
Mart Luther, which he handled in
an able manner, getting all out of the
subject that was possible. To mixed
audience such subjects are not general
ly entertaining, but there were many
present who fully appreciated the efforts
Of the speaker and the historical matter
contained therein. Not to do the speak
er an injustice, it is but justice to him
to say that his remarks were great i'm
provement over the previous lecture.
Should the remaining lectures be an i'm
provement upon the remarks of Mr..
Sias, the audience will certainly be
sufficiently entertained"

HERMANN is TO co
TROUBLE WITH HITCHCOCK
COMES TO A HEAD.
Secretary Of Interior Thinks He
Should Have Unearthed Frauds
in Oregon.

Binger Hermann has finally been fore
ed out OF the general land office, says a
special to the Oregonian. At recent |
conference with Secretary Hitchcock, it
was strongly intimated to the commits
sioner that his resignation would be ac-
ceptable and Hermann has decided to
comply with the wish of his superior and
resign, to take effect February 1, when
he will probably be succeeded by his as
sistant, William A. Richards, OF Wyom-
ing. The resignation has not yet been
rendered, but will be Forthcoming in
short time.
This is the elimination Of long and
persistent fight made on Hermann by
the Secretary for the past two years.
There has always been tension be-
tween the two officials, which, on sew
eral occasions, threatened to force Her
mann out of office, butup to now with
out result.
From last June up to the present time
the friction between Herman and Hitch
cock has been growing more and more
inten e.. The Secretary adheres to the
belief that the commissioner is to some
extent responsible for the widespread
land frauds in Western States, and par
ticularly in Oregon. While Hermann is
not accused of completely, it is held that
his administration of the land Office has
been lax and that his Interpretation of
the laws has been SO loose as to permit
the spread of the fraudulent practices
which are but recently unearthed. The
Secretary held that the commissioner
has not exercised due diligence nor
required such diligence on the part OF
his subordinates. By overruling many
rigid decisions of local land officers,
which were In accordance with the letter
of the law, it is said he has encouraged
carelessness on the part of local officers.
Furthermore, the local officers have
passed up to the land Office and the land
Office to the Secretary records in cases
where fraud was apparent on their face
but where no discovery of the fraud was
made until the papers reached the Sec
retary's Office. In fact, several decis-
ions Of the Secretary have fatty stated
as much,
This was true of the apparent frauds
in Oregon timber lands and state lieu
land selections, where records Indicating
fraud were not closely examiped or held
up until they reached the secretary.
The recent discovery OF these frauds,
and particularly those in OfegOn, was
largely instrumental in inducing the
Secretary to call for Hermhnn's. resig-
nation at this time.
