FEEDING for Eqqs.

We do not believe that we can feed
so as to make all kinds of hens lay.
There are some hens that will not lay
many eggs no matter how they are
fed. But we can so feed that the
fowls will not have their feed as an
actual obstacle to laying.
1t is our observation that the ma
turity and vigor OF the hen are the
chief things that have to do with a
large egg production. We must SO
feed that the fowls will be kept in a
thriving condition and that their di.
gestive organs will not be compelled
to do a great deal of unnecessary
work. We find that variety counts for
great deal. All of the following
feeds are good II fed each in small
quantities: Corn. wheat. buckwheat.
oats. barley. linseed meal. Gotten seed
meal. corn meal. gluten meal. meat
and bone. alfalfa, clover. beets. cab
bage. rape. We might add others.
but these are the principal ones.
II mixture is fed we are likely to
get the protein and fat formers about
right in proportion. One of the best
ways to help the birds to produce
eggs Is to allow them to hunt for bugs
and pick green stun as much as pos.
sible.

Soil For Fruit RAISING.

Soil to be good for fruit raising
must have several characteristics. 1t
must be easy for the roots to pene-
trate. and for this purpose we turn
up the virgin soil with the plow and
pulverize 1t with the harrow. The
finer it is, the more easily do the
roots penetrate 1t. For this reason
also clay soil will not produce crops
unless 1t contains enough sand mixed
with it to make 1t friable.
Soil must be retentive of moisture
and fertility, though not too reten-
tive. A soil that will not retain mois-
ture will not retain some of the fer
tilizers that readily leach out. This
is the trouble with many of our sandy
soils. They can be corrected only by
adding large quantities of clay. which
is expensive. or by plowing in large
quantities of manure or green crops
to make humus, which helps to hold
both the moisture and the fertility.
The soil also must be able to alb
sorb solar heat, which 1t will not do
If 1t holds too much water or Is of a
too clayey nature. A great many peo-
pie fail in their attempts to raise fruit
on virgin soil for the reason that it
has never been drained artilcially
and holds so much water that 1t will
not take in heat. 1t is extremely dif-
fcult to heat water with heat applied
from above, and this is more so when
the water is in the ground and the
wave heats are checked by the sur
face soil.

Cautions About Turkeys.


Don't permit the turkey eggs to get
chilled. 1t is more difficult to care for
these than for the eggs of other fowls.
their nests. Watching is required to
discover them. and then the eggs
should be gathered every day. while
the nights continue cool.
Hunt up the turkeys nest for the
purpose of keeping the eggs from dogs
and crows. When the nests are at a
distance from the house the crows are
sometimes very troublesome. as they
know the edible value OF good egg.
Keep turkey eggs in a basket in the
cellar, which is very suitable place
to keep them. They will then retain
their moisture and will not dryout be-
fore being placed under the turkey or
other hen.
When Mammoth Bronze turkeys are
being raised 1t is necessary often to
use common hens in Matching the
eggs. as the eggs are very frequently
broken by the heavy birds.
When the turkey hen once settles
down to business she is very persist
ent sitter, and is not easily broken"
up.
The turkey hen that is sitting should
not be disturbed more than is neces-
sary. as she will then trample about
In her nest and sometimes break the
eggs.
Foults should have no food the first
day. but water and grit should be sup
piled from the first.
The first feed of the poults should
consist of hard boiled eggs and crumbs
of stale bread.
The turkey hen with her brood must
be watched to see that she does not

location there is always danger that

BALE THEIR COTTON WE'LL.
Bombay Shippers Not Afraid of Fire.

In the opinion of Consul General
Skinner. Americans have something
to learn from British India about bal
ing cotton.

so convenient in size that one strong
man can easily pick it up and stow
it. One hundred Indian bales can be
manipulated in as little time as fifty
American bales and with the same
labor. The cotton is so compactly
pressed that a sharp blow from a
hammer will cause the iron hoop to
burst asunder. whereas the American
balebinder must be pried open with a
special tool. The density of the bale
minimizes the danger of fire.
"A foreman upon the docks. with
whom | discussed this question, told
me that a lighted match might be

NEW FOREST RESERVE.
Another Large Tract Withdrawn from
Sale in Colorado.

Denver, April 2S.-Withdrawal of
277,630 acres of public land in Colo
RADIO from all disposal except under
the mineral laws, was ordered April
26th by w. A. Richards. commissioner
of the general land office at Wash.
ington. The step is preliminary to the
setting aside of another big forest re-
serve in this state.
Register Charles ID. Ford of the Den
yer land office received wire from
Commissioner Richards yesterday an
nouncing the action of the general
land office relative to the withdrawal
and instructing the register to accept
no more filings upon the lands desig-
mated as follows in Summit and Eagle
counties: Townships and of range
10; 3, 4 and of range 80; 2. 3. and
5 of range 81 2. and 5 OF range 80,
all south and west.
The bulk of this large tract lies in
the northeast part of Summit county
in Gore mountain range and Blue river
country. 1t extends over into the
northeast part of Eagle county, taking
in the Lone peak and Piney river
country. There are virgin forests on
the ranges. and in the valleys is an
acreage of the richest land in the
state.
While no reason was given by Com
missioner Richards for ordering the
withdrawal of this tract. it is believed
to be merely preliminary to the crea-
ton of an additional forest reserve,
which will be done by President Roose-
welt later by proclamation.
Eighteen months ago the govern
ment set aside about as large a tract
of public land in Weld, Grand and Lar
inner counties for forest reserves.
Shortly after the withdrawal. govern
ment inspectors were sent there to as
certain how much of the land had been
filed upon. Those owning claims either
sold them back to the government or
received other land in exchange under
the in lieu act.
However. the in lieu act is not op-
erative, having been repealed by Con
gress And those holding lands in the
tract withdrawn yesterday will not be
molested in their rights. There are
some 100000 acres of public land set
aside in this state as forest reserves.

The Nests.

The proper care OF the nests is es.
sential to the success of the poultry
owner. A dirty, lousy nest may be
source of great trouble. as the writer
has noted at various times. We have
seen nests alive with little red mites.
which swarmed on the fowls as soon
as they settled for laying purposes. In
the case of sitting hens we have seen
them driven from the nests and actu-
ally killed by the little vampires.
Nests should be movable and should
have their nesting material constantly
renewed to make sure that no mites
are present. The old material should
not be thrown out into the henyard.
but should be burned. to destroy not
only lice but eggs of lice. II the nests
are put in dark place (not too dark

No Serious Emergency.

Washington. April 2S.-Secretary
Taft. when made aware of the Pre.i
dents plan to leave Colorado May SiiL
showed no surprise, for it was known
to him before the President left Wash
ington that he was very doubtful f
his ability to carry out his wish to r''
main in the hunting country until the
middle of May. The President told
Secretary Taft that he feared he could
not remain longer than May Sth, and
that he consequently had formed ar
alternative program based on that be
lief. There is no pressing emergency
here requiring the immediate presence
of the President. All of the facts rel
ative to the Venezuelan situation have
been disclosed to the public. and In
the opinion of the officials here key
do not justify any apprehension or a
rupture in the immediate future.

WalfoWs.

Hog wallows may not always be
a source of disease with the hog, but
the permanent wallow should not be
permitted to exist. From the very
nature of the case the permanent wal
low becomes breeding place of dis.
eases. The increase of filth in 1t
draws flies from far and near. and
many of them may have been feeding
on diseased animals or filth. The
hogs should be encouraged to find
new wallows If they must have them.
The wallow is not a necessity. but is
apparently a comfort to the hog.

Excess of Fat,

The excess of fat in the body
of the hen arises from the feed
ing of too much fattening food
during the season of inactivity or lack
of egg production. When hens have
begun to lay vigorously. considerable
quantities of fattening material may
be fed without getting them too fat. as
the surplus is used up in the work of
reproducing. Growing birds seldom
get fat, however fed, but If the protein
lacks in their food they will not have
the stamina they should. Excess of
fat should be avoided and this may
be done by feeding only part ration
of corn

Russian Fleets MAY Unite.

Toxic, April 2S.-The movements of
the squadron commanded by Admiral
Rojestversky, and the intentions of
the Russian commander continue to be
the subject of general interest and
speculation. The last Japanese reports
are conflicting and confusing. They
do not indicate definitely the purposes
of Rojestvensky, but it is evidently the
intention of the Russian admiral to
await a juncture with the division com
manded by Admiral Nebogatoff. which
increases the probability of his inten-
.tion to give Admiral Togo decisive
battle.

this condition has prevailed ever since

There is "a tradition that the charter

There is need OF Sunday trains on

Our correspondent suggests two pas

able that this service would not more
than accommodate the demand.
our correspondent also suggests that
the Board of Trade take the matter in
hand and use its influence with the
directory Of the Delaware Railroad for
securing the desired Sunday passenger

There is also reason to believe that
