THE BEST FOOD FOR HENS.

until the first hopper is again opened,
late In the afternoon. In this way
the hens will have feed before them all
the time, and can eat as much CIR as
little as they please A comparison
can then be made with pen No. q, the
only difference between the two pens
being that pen No. 2 receives its feed
at stated intervals and in amounts
indicated by the appetites of the
fowls, while the hens in the other pen
can help themselves at all times.
White Plymouth Rock fowls will be
used, not because of any special pref
erence for this variety, but for reasons
Of convenience. Pullets will be raised
from the various pens and the test re-
peated twice to confirm results and
note the effects of the different sys-
TENS of vitality.
1t is hoped that by careful study
Of this chicken dietary question the
amount Of eggs produced in this coun-
try may be materially increased, per-
haps as much as five per cent, which
would mean billion more a year for
the national consumption.

SAWED CELL BARS WITH YARN.
Federal Prisoner Invents Odd Instru-
ment to Effect Escape.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Out of pieces Of
wooden yarn, unraveled from sock
and twisted together, prisoner In the
new federal prison at Leavenworth,
Kan, constructed an instrument which
he used to saw through the top and
bottom of a three-inch steel bar.
That a common piece of yarn could
be made to cut the strongest steel
bars, tested with acids and resisting
steel saws, is discovery that not only
surprise police and keepers of jails
and penitentiaries, but scientists as
well. 1t is the first case of the kind
on record as far as can be learned,
and the prisoner who used it in the
Leavenworth penitentiary is the orr
ginator
The prisoner was confined in one of
the isolation cells. A guard standing
on a tier above noticed him working
his hands back and forth around the
bars and notified the guards on the
lower floor. They investigated and
found that the top had been sawed
through. The bottom was about half
through. The prisoner readily con-
fessed and showed the warden how he
had accomplished the feat. A.

TWINS TO DIVORCE TWINS.
Brothers Whose Lives Seem to Run
in Parallel Lines.

Kansas City.-Miles J. Farris and
Jiles M. Farris, born 80 years ago, on
coming of age made twin sisters their
wives. Their lives which were paral-
lei, did not diverge much when they
went into business, for one became
barber and the other butcher-not
such great difference after all, as
Jiles expressed 1t recently.
Time went on, and to the families
had come little Jiles M. and as we'll
little Miles j. But with neither, it
seemed, domestic harmony at the fire.
side prevailed, for one day petition
for divorce was filed by Jiles NJ
against Martha A. Farris, and on the
following morning an attorney APP
peared at the county court house with
petition for a divorce for Miles j.
Farris from his wife, Attic Farris.
Both petitions set forth desertion as
the cause for seeking legal separation
and both charges show jealousy on the
part of the wives, which, it is alleged,
made life intolerable for the hus-
bands.
Both women are in Louisiana, Mo.

Must Pay Former Love.

Media, Pa.-The $4,000 verdict given
pretty Miss Leonora Hill, of Chester,
in her breach of promise suit against
Horace Witsil, the real estate dealer,
has been sustained by Judge Johnson.
This suit has been pending for two
years. Miss Hill was wooed by Witsil
for a number of years, according to
her story, and had gone so far as to
purchase her wedding dress and spend
her time in making articles to make
their home comfortable after the mar
riage. Without her knowledge Witsil
married another estimable lady, and
Miss Hill brought suit She was rep
resented by one Of the ablest lawyers
in the county, and his unmerciful
scoring of Witsil during the trial was
one OF the reasons for which a new
trial was asked.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT TO
MAKE EXPERIMENTS.
Nil Try to Learn If Mash Should Be
Moist or Dry-Hope to In
crease Production of
Eggs.

Washington.-The department of
agriculture has started new expert.
ment station at the federal animal
quarantine station at Halethorpe, near
Baltimore. The experiments are to be
conducted under the supervision of
Robert r. Slocum, an expert who was
recently added to the staff Of the bu-
reau of animal industry for partic-
ular line of investigation. For several
years it has been strongly contested
question among poultrymen whether
mash fed to hens should be dry or
moist. Within the last year or two
another problem has arisen with the
introduction of the hopper feeding sys-
tenn on commercial scale.
In conducting these chicken-laying
experiments a hen house will be con-
accommod ating 25 hens, with suitable
yards. This house, together with in
cubators, breeders, etc., sufficient to
raise enough pullets to replace those
used in the experiments, will comprise
the immediate equipment. The differ
ent lots of fowls are to be housed ex-
actly alike and all conditions made
equal, except the methods of feeding.
The fowls in pen No. 1 will receive,
morning and night, mixture of
whole or cracked grains scattered in
the litter, and at noon moistened
mash. Those in pen No. 2 will receive
morning and night the same grain mix.
ture fed in the litter exactly as with
pen No. 1 and the same mash at noon,
except that this mash will be fed dry.
This will test the question of the dry
and the moist mash.
The fowls in pen No. will be fed on
precisely the same feed as those in the
other pens, but will be fed from two
self-feeding hoppers, one containing
the grain and the other dry mash. The
hopper containing the grain will be
opened about four p. m. in winter and
five p. m in summer, al d will be left
open until the next noon 1t will then
be closed, and the hopper containing
the mash will be opened and left 50

BIG IOWA CORN RANCH
ONE FIELD EXPECTED TO YIELD
52s,ooo BUSHELS.
Is Largest In the armhouses
on It Make Small Town--own-
er Passes His Winters In
CHICAGO.

Odebolt, Ia.-When IL Is considered
that there are such corn fields in Iowa
as Adams 15.000-acre ranch at this
place, producing $4,000 bushels every
season. and employing regularly los
men, 1t is little wonder that the state
of Iowa has a 100000, 000.bushel corn
crop for 1906. Before long 200 men
will start on the $4,000 acres of corn,
which will all be husked from the
shock. Then the stocks will be shred.
ded for the fat cattle before spring.
This corn field is the largest in the
world. The full $4,000 acres was
planted with tested seed and is expect
ed to yield an average of more than
35 bushels to the acre. This Is consid.
cred a small average for Iowa corn
this season.
Thirty-seven double stalk cutters
will be used to bind the corn in the
field this fall. Mules are employed al
most everywhere to do the heavy draft
work on the farm, and there are over
200 of these animals kept there con.
stantly. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams and
family are at present at their winter
home in Chicago and the farm Is in
the hands of its manager.
With the exception of large mum.
Der Of feeders which are purchased
every fall, no cattle are raised on the
big farm except enough milk cows to
keep the help supplied with milk. Last
winter Mr.. Adams had 5000 sheep
| brought from his North Dakota ranch
| for feeding, and 1t is announced that
he will do it again this winter as soon
as the present yardfull of cattle has
been marketed.
The affairs at the farm are conduct.
ed with as much system as in any
large business office in this city. There
is main Office and headquarters
where the manager of the farm has his
desk. 1t is here that Mr.. Adams him.
self passes a large part of his time
in summer. The farm is divided into
/ sections, and each part is under the
direction of subforeman and worked
by his force Of men.
All the houses of the employees are
located in one place near the center
of the farm, making a small town. A
schoolhouse is also erected here fol
the children of the workers. The farm
and it's methods are revelation tc
the visitor. Adams is an enthusiast
for good roads and all through the
place he has built handsome drive
ways.
There is another farm in Sac county
Iowa, which contains 5000 acres. The
land there is not all titled as on thu
Adams ranch, and hence it Is not o
so general interest to the public. 1
is, though among the record-breakers
in this state for acreage owned by one
man in one contiguous piece.

Strange Appeal of Rome Shopkeeper

Davenport, IA Davenport wom-

the most interesting souvenirs of her

her visit to a curio shop in Rome,

My heart turns crying from the rose ana

Ny heart turns crying from the thin bright
moon,
And weeps with useless sorrow for the

And made my heart too wise, that was

The years, the stars, the souls OF ahcieh'

All tears that must, and smiles that may

Yes, glimmering lights across a windy ford,
Yes, vagrant voices on darkened plain,
And holy things, and outcast things, ana
Far too remote, fraiI-bodied, to be plain.
