rATTENING AND MARKETING.


There is little use in raising a flock
Of birds and then turn them OF ON
the market when they are poor. The
quality is not only poor but the pronL
is small A bird that Is poor and
and weighs three pounds ought to De
made to weigh at least five pounds
when fat. This would make gain
Of two pounds while the price per
pound ought to be from ten to twenty
per cent. higher. It is true that some
grocers make no difference in the
price This is not fair for the man
who brings in good poultry. nor will
it encourage his customers to bring
fine stock There is difference no
ticed when the bird is placed upon
the table. A fat bird is worth from
three to four times as much as
poor one. If your grocer will not
pay you more for nice fat birds, just
sell to the consumer yourself and II
will not take long to get your Gus
toners educated to demanding GOOD
poultry, and they will be willing to
pay you good price to get what they
can depend upon being fat.
Separate those you intend to fat
ten from the rest Of the flock so you
can give them fattening food. 1t
would be well to put them in small
pen so they cannot exercise TOO
much. They should have all they can
eat, but nothing should set very long
in their, pen as 1t win sour and 90
more damage than good. 1t would
be well to have the grain where they
can have 1t all the time as 1t will not
spoil very readily. Corn is one OF
the very best fattening feeds that
you can get. 1t should not be fed
alone however. Give them some ground
meat or cut green bone If possible.
They will greatly relish some green
food such as cabbage, turnips or
small potatoes. A little parched
corn will help to prevent indigestion.
Be sure they have plenty OF grit TOT
that is the teeth of the bird. The giz-
card will have lot of work to do and
It needs the very sharpest of grit. II
sand is used it should have sharp
edges to work best The round grams
do very little good as grinders. You
cannot give them too much milk as
long as it is not sour. They should
have oats for change.
AS soon as they are fat dispose OF
them. It will not pay to keep them
too long. If you do not sell your
birds to your grocer and wish to sell
to the consumer direct it would be
well to dress them. Tie string
round the feet of the fowl and hang
It to the ceiling Of low shed. Then
take a sharp pointed knife and STAB
the bird in the roof of the mouth.
This pierces the brain and prevents
sense Of pain. It Is known as the
French method OF killing. Dry pick
at once, being careful to remove all
the pin-feathers and not tear the skin.
Remove the entrails and head and
put away to cool. Wrap each fowl In
paper and you are ready to market
them.-M. D. H. in Indiana Farmer.

RAINY DAY ACCESSORIES.

Two rainy-day accessories are
worth owning. says the New York
Evening Post. One is an umbrella to
put in a dress suit case. The handle
and the top piece are both hinged
and the umbrella folds into a re
markably small space. Every woman
knows what nuisance an umbrella
is when travelling. The suit case Is
heavy. ones skirts or hat often de.
mand the other hand. and the um.
brella is usually the last straw that
makes journey burden to the
flesh. The other rainy-day conyen
fence is a new rubber which is so
small that it will hardly serve except
in damp weather when the mud Is not
deep. 1t amply protects the toe OF
the boot without projecting far over
the toe. In the back there Is a frac'
ton of a heel which Is hardly notice
able. The rubber stays on well and
is more comfortable than the old style
with back strap.

MISS BRIGGS WILL
STAY IN Minneapolis

Miss Helen Briggs. who has been
spending the summer months with rel
atives at Albert Lea, Minnesota, has
written to Pastor Thomas, of the First
Presbyterian church, rendering her
resignation as organist of that congre-
cation for The purpose of accepting the
position of director of music at Stanley
Hall, an educational institution at
Minneapolis.
Miss Briggs has SO long been identi-
fled with the music, indeed with the
entire life, of the Presbyterian church
here that it will be difficult to do with
out her. Musical circles in Canon City
will sustain real loss in her removal
to Minneapolis.
Miss Briggs expects to make a brief
business visit here in the course of the
next ten days or two weeks.

No One In Canon Underseiis Seei,

The business men of Canon City are
requested to give hearty support to the
movement as the prohibition Of the
sale Of the cigarette means a great deal
for the welfare Of the community. The
supreme court in several states Of the
union have declared the cigarette an
illegitimate article Of commerce and
Colorado should put a ban upon its
manufacture, sale and use within its
borders.
Many people are Of the opinion that
the cigarette is rs great a menace to
civilization as the saloon and that dras-
tic laws should be enacted against 1t.
There is no palliating excuse to be Of
fered for their use by adults and boys
should not be permitted to smoke them
under any circumstances.

SURPRISE RECEPTION
FOR PASTOR SMITH

In view of the removal of Rev. and
Mrs. D. Burt Smith to Hummelstown,
Pennsylvania. their friends prepared a
very pleasant surprise for them last
Friday night
Rev. and Mrs. Smith were invited to
spend the evening at Conrad Smiths,
in South Canon, which they accepted,
little suspecting that there would be
other guests than themselves. About
an hour after their arrival thirty other
people, members of the congregation
of Trinity Lutheran church, came in,
greatly to the astonishment of the
guests of honor
The evening was spent in social
games and conversation and was one Of
great pleasure to all. The happiness
of the occasion testified to the high es-
TEEN in which Rev. and Mrs. Smith
are held bp their Canon City friends.

success in his efforts to crystalize pub
lie opinion in opposition to the use Of
cigarettes by boys under fifteen years
of age.
As result of the series of afternoon
meetings he has held at the Tabernacle
the last few days an Anti-Cigarette
League has been formed with two hum
dred and forty-three members. These
meetings have been we'll attended and
the interest aroused antagonistic to the
use of tobacco by boys has been very
encouraging as it indicates a recogni-
tion OF the value of the leagues work
in behalf of home and good citizenship.
The ambition of the league is to OBJ
tain total prohibition of the cigarette
and of cigarette paper from sale and to
prevent the sale Of tobacco to boys
during the years Of their minority.
The increase of membership in the
league in this state has been most re-.
markable, numbering more than thirty
thousand in two years.

May Go To Oweso

While no definite arrangements have
been made to that end there Is a
strong probability that Pastor J. B.
Cook, OF the congregation of the First
M. E. church here, will shortly make a
permanent exchange of pulpits with
the pastor Of the Methodist church at
Owego. New York. The matter has
been duly considered by the members
Of the official board and they are will
ing to release Rev Cook from his du-
ties here and accept the Owego pastor
as his successor, and It only awaits the
ratification of the bishops Of the New
York and Colorado conferences.
Rev. Cook, who has been here almost
two years, is reluctant to leave Canon
City, but the condition of his wifs's
health renders change to lower A.
titude q necessity.
