POULTRY
GREEN FEEDS FOR FOWLS.

IL Furnishes Considerable Amount
Nutritlve Material.
The green feeds which are Justly
considered so important add to the
palatability OF the ration, furnish a
considerable amount OF nutritiTe ma
terial. and undoubtedly help to main
tain hens in good condition. The New
York State station recommends for
this purpose the more nitrogenous
forage plants such as clover. alfalfa.
and immature grasses. These feeds
also contain more of the needed lime
than do grains" Ii must be remem-
bered that fowls are not fitted to de-
pend too largely upon bulky feed and
that the proportion OF grain in the
ration must always be fairly large.
According to Prof. Wheeler. another
and very important reason, which Is
sometimes overlooked for using such
foods as young clover. fresh or dried,
Is the efrect on the color OF the egg
yolk. He says:
Eggs from hens which are fed only
certain grain and animal substances
generally have yolks OF pale yellow
color. This is often objected to by
those who have \ preference for eggs
with darked, orange-colored yolks.
The IL ssral feeding Of fresh or dried
young clover. alfalfa, or grass will
generally insure the deeper coloration.
The cause of this frequent lack Of
what may be considered the normal
yellow color Of the egg yolks is not
well known. but the occurrence OF the
pale color can be generally prevented
by attention to the food"
The above facts are illustrated by
the results OF a test at the station in
which four lots OF hens were fed alike
except that no hay nor green feed
was given to one, while the others
had different amounts OF clover hay
alternating with green alfalfa. The
eggs showed marked differences in
color. Those laid by the hens having
no green feed had yolks of light
shade. the color increasing In inten-
sity with the proportion OF hay or
green feed in the ration. The green
fish tint OF the white also varied. but
sot SO regularly.-Fsrmers' Voioe

KNOCKER SAID TO BE BUSY
Bad Reports Concerning Locality Sent
Home by Springfield Mechanics.

According to the Springfield (MaSS.D
Republican, some of the men transfer
red from that city here To take posi-
tions in the small arms factory at
Rock Island arsenal are not content
in their new homes
This paper asserts that the living
conditions here are more costly, and
that the environment is "distasteful
| to the men who have been used 20 the
more conservative and respectable
state of affairs in this locality"
The inference to be drawn from the
statements in the Springfield paper
are too ridiculous to warrant serious
| consideration at this end of the line
In the first place the men who came
| from Springfield are receiving better
wages than were paid in the city they
came from.
\ comparison of the prices asked
for the necessaries of life shows that
the quotations are higher in Spring
field than they are here.
! As for the envirOnment-weH it
would be pretty hard to convince any
one who has been around the country
to any extent that there is a prettier.
more peaceful. healthy or prosperous
city in the world of its size than Rock
! Island.
One of the men who came here from
Springfield stated today that the story
appearing in the Republican was alb
surb. and probably inspired by some
one for the purpose of evening up for
an imaginary grievance. He did not
believe, however. that it was inspired
by any one at present employed here
| He said that all the men that he had
talked with were delighted with their
new home and employment. The con
| ditiOns were better than they were
| represented TO them before they left
| Springfield.

E. Reynolds and Frank Larson, on a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Louisa Bra

The alleged assault was made Aug.

made for the Iowa shore and took up
his abode in a cabin boat short way

MANIA FOR BIKES
Ralph Olson Has Stolen Three, One
Of Them in Davenport, in
the Last Week.
TELLS A ROMANTIC TALE
To Police Before Truth is Drawn From
Him - He is Held to the
Grand Jury.

Ralph Olson, the young man who
gave his name as Harry Johnson yes
.terday afternoon when he was arrested
for the theft of two bicycles from the
basement of the Rock Island National
bank last Saturday evening, has a rare
imagination.
He told at least three different stOr-
les with a straightforwardness that
vas impressive before the truth was
finally wormed out of him. First he
stated that he had an accompIice,
whom he described TO the minutest de-
tail.
The accomplice rode one wheel and
he mounted the other and they planted
them in the woods south of the city.
| Olson said his name was Johnson and
that his parents lived on FOrty-fifth
street and Tenth avenue. Investiga-
ton proved that Forty-fifth street eX-
tended only to Eighth avenue.
| Then he switched to the orphan
story. His parents had gone to Swed-
en- to settle up an estate and both were
taken i'll there and died. He was in
New York City at the time. Seven
months ago he came TO Rock Island.
Caught Trying to Make Sale.
He had not been working, having a
small income. Olson was arrested at
the repair shop of Mike Mintz. on
Nineteenth street, where he was try
ing to dispose of one of the wheels.
Mint recognized the wheel as one
owned by II. b. SimmOn and he tele-
phOned the police. officer Henry
Thode arrested Olson At the station
he admitted having stolen the wheel
and stated the other one, belonging to
F. K. Rhoads. was in the possession of
his accomplice; that he had an en-.
gagement TO meet the latter at the
Nineteenth street entrance of the Har
per house
Sure enough, the other wheel was
found resting against the Curbing al
the place designated by Olson. but the
aCcOmplice was not there. 1t develop
ed afterward that Olson had placed the
wheel there, expecting to return for il
after he had disposed of the one thai
he took to Mintz' shop.
Mind Believed Affected.
Just before his hearing Olson called
officer ThOde To his cell and made {
clean breast of the affair, admitting
that there was no one else implicated
and that his right name was Olson
His parents were notified, and came t
the station. The boys mother stated
that he had been manifesting signs q
late of mental weakness, and that h,
had threatened suicide. Olson was
held in bond of 5000 each on two
charges of larceny. Security was fur
nished and he was released.
Today a wheel stolen from Daven
port physician by Olson was located a
Seigel's second hand store on TWEEN
tieth street, where he had sold it 70

A Widows Charm.

There Is nothing that need to per-

wisdom of the particular kind needed
In dealing with men. She has lived
with one Of the number, wintered and
summered him and learned when to
hold her tongue and when to be To-
quacious. She may be past mistress
in the art of keeping out Of the way
until her society is very much want
ed, and that is the acme Of wisdom.

The Japanese think they represent
the highest type Of development be.
cause In the process Of evolution they
have almost eliminated whiskers.
To them n thick growth Of under
brush in which the field mice may
build their nests and rear their young
does not represent the highest type Of
civilization.
Just how they learn to conduct wars,
run the politics Of the country and pick
the winners in the horse race without
hanging around a barber shop is not
quite clear, but as they manage to do
these things 1t is evidence they have
some avenues Of information unknown
to the Caucasian races.
If they are correct in their surmise,
1t explains why the beardless youth in
this country knows so much more than
his bewhiskered father.

SEEING THINGS.
By DUNCAN n. SMITH

He was certain that the nation
To the dogs was going fast:
Sure that every indication
Showed the pinnacle was past.
Future prospects looked quite yellow.
And he blamed the money kings.
For this warped and twisted fellow
Had way OF seeing things.
Congress. he was very certain,
Couldn't do q single thing
AS he drew aside the curtain
There was one gigantic ring
Plotting for the lands undoing.
Buying votes and pulling strings
For this creature. fuming, stewing,
Had way OF seeing things.
Nothing could be gained by hiding.
For the nation was. twas plain,
To demnition bowwows riding
On mile a minute train,
Swifter than western rabbit
Scoots out when a bullet sings
For he. just through force OF habit,
Had way of seeing things.
Thus In every public question
There was lurking loads OF woe,
For no had O poor digestion
And liver that was slow
That explained the situation,
That accounted for his filings,
For his mental dissipation
And his way OF seeing things.
