WEIGHING NOT NECESSARY.
Fowls Need a Variety Of Food and
Not q Single Ration Dolec
Out by Ounces.

We do not think it necessary to
waste the time required to weigh or
measure the food given to any kline OF
poultry. OF course, by this we do not
mean that food should be thrown to
fowls in a promiscuous way; on the
contrary, we think there should always
be system, but conditions which de-
velop day by day should be our guide.
Nature, in her generosity, has pro-
vided no way of judging what per cent.
of this or that kind of food the fowls
must have, but relies on conditions to
furnish the necessary amount of each
essential
When those things needed are i'm
possible to secure, others may often be
found to take their place. but If no
substitute is available it must of ne
cessity follow that arrangements will
result. Laying hens require certain
amount of egg forming material, and
unless this is supplied in some form or
other the production of eggs will grow
less.
Growing chicks require food for mus
Gle and flesh, but this may be supplied
in many ways, and no direct rules can
be laid down. One thing is certain.
and that is that all kinds of poultry
both young and old, require variety
and no matter how good or wholesome
the kind, they will in time tire of it.
unless change is given. Watch the
flock and note it's likes and dislikes
and endeavor as much as possible to
stimulate the appetite by giving some
thing different each day.-Farm and

A New Remedy for Lice.

Many things have been tried to Grad
icate lice from poultry houses. Some
have been successful, while others
have resulted in failure. We have a
letter from a correspondent. writing
from holland, Va, who says: "Purchas-
ing this place two years ago, l found
the poultry houses infested with ver-

Edison Amend. an Epigram.

Francis Bacon Crocker,< professor OF
electrical engineering at Columbia
university, recently wrote to Thomas
A. Edison for photograph of the lat
ter large enough to hang in the office
of the electrical department at the
university, and also requesting Mr..
Edison to inscribe the picture with
some motto that might be helpful to
the students. In a few days a large
photograph Of the inventor arrived,
and at the bottom of it, in the large,
strong, well-defined handwriting OF
Edison, was the following:
"All things come to those who hustle
while they wait."-Success.

"For q years I suffered thus and

drinking coffee all my life and it CAN

The average Japanese soldier is not

Rheumatism is almost unknown in
Japan. The Japanese escape the NAL

If Violet, captain Of the Paducah

dent Jack son ought to send him after
Gilligsn and do it right quick. The
captain OF team ought to be a quiet,
dignifed man who will set u good ex.

cah players have been coddled by
local fans until they think they can
do anything, no matter how coward
ly, and be considered heroes. They
ought to get it ont Of their necks.
There was q report current yester-
day that the franchise tof the K. J..

to be a mistake. President Sam Jack
son was offered 1000 for the Padu-

refused it. 1t is predicted that the Pa

long before July is gone. There Is
already discord in it, and it Is admit
