WHEELER'S RESPONSE.

Two weeks ago we criticized Editor
Wheeler of the Idaho Register, and
said that the character of his writ
ings shows the vinegar in his nature,
taking possession and driving out the
cream of his character. That he Is
narrowing his influence and building
up feeling against himself among
the old friends of his paper.
Mr.. Wheeler confirms our state
ment by replying to the article and
saying that The Republican is pub
lished by Byrd Trego, and edited by
no one. That it never had any in
fuence, and that it would be impos-
sible for it to ever adopt course
that would weaken or narrow It's in
fiuence for the reason that it had
none.
This bears out our statement that
he answers those. who oppose him,
with ridicule and bravados We are
pleased that he has given the public
this acknowledgement that we were
right in our delineation of the man.
He also devotes some space to a
roast of the Idaho Falls Times for
the reason that the Times copied our
criticism of Wheeler; but the Times
will fight its own battles.

used on The Mackay branch was at
Mackay. Leonard Broadbent was on
the pay roll as watchmany and he
stated to the Republican writer that
he had gone to get supper, and left
the building locked, with everything
all right, and when he came back,
half an hour later the flames were
all about the coal bin. He stated
that he went in and tried to get the
the engine out, but became so suffo-
Gated that he gave it up with diff
Guilty to get out himself Asked as
to what time this was he said he
did not know, but that he was sure
the building was set fire.
Others discussing the mater said
that the engine was not spotted in
the proper place to have the smoke
go out at the stack, and that Broad
bent was in the habit of going up
town at about eleven o'clock, and
returning at three. Some men who
board at F. .Randall's, near the Y,
noticed an unusual light about $3.50
a. M, and that time saw Mr.. Broad
bent run by on his way to the build
ing which was already full of flames
and the windows began to fall out
by the time he reached it. They de-,
ny that he entered the building.
The alarm was given and the Vol
unteer Fire Company responded
promptly, but there was not hose
enough to reach it from any hydrant
so it was attached to private tap
at H. B. Nelson's, and it was found
impossible to throw water sufficient
distance to fight the fire with any
effect.

Is next. In che division of II are the
engravings| of the different men and
pictures. that have been printed in
the Republican" wrapped in the
picture which the engravings have
made. The neatness and hardness
of this can readily be seen.
I At the side of this is galley rack,
(Which has number of galleys of
Big Merg' s" work. This is all on
the east side of the room.
On the South side are three case
racks for type; the type of which
are NOW used only for job work and
adds.
In the Southwest corner of the
room is situated the Linotype or
Big Merg' as it is commonly called.
On this machine is a keyboard, sim
liar, to that, of typewriter. Upon
the operation of this keyboard, mat
rices slide from their places and
form in line, then they are transfer
red to another part of the machine,
and are pressed against heated lead,
which has been pressed into an OBJ
long shape, making a line ready to do
it's mission. A long arm, then reach
es down and lifts the matrics to the
top of the machine, where they are
distributed, to their respective places
Just North of the Linotype and on
the West side of the room is the
stere typer. This machine makes the
engravings. Next to this is the big
motor, which, by means of belts runs
every piece of machinery, that re-
quires constant movement.
The Cylinder press and the paper
folder are very modern parts of a
printing odile. This is run like the
rest of the machinery by motor pow
err The only need of mans labor
is to feed the press, the paper is
rolled around and printed, then it is
laid on stand. From here it is
transferred to the folder, which folds
the papers as many time as is nee
essary. The next thing on this side
is the paper cutter.
On the north end of the room are
long shelves on which are kept the
affice stationary. Then comes the
door, which we have just entered.
About ten feet from, the center of
the north wall is the Editors desk.
Just south of this Is the job spress, !
then two more large type racks. Next
comes two imposing stones from
whence the work is made ready for
printing. This is the arrangement of
the Republican Office" Two win
doWs and skylight furnishes the
light of the room by day and electric
lights by night.
Each on of the articles were shown
to us, and their duties were explain
ed by Mr.. Trego and his assistants.
While some were being shown the
Linotype, others were examining the
cylinder press and the paper folder.
Each student was presented with
souvenir: being their name printed
according to Big Merg's' system.
Mr.. Trego then made a talk; in
which he announced that he intend
ed giving prize to the student who i
would write the best composition on
the subject of our visit to his office.
The first prize to be years sub
scription> for the Republican; the sec
ond being six months subscription.
Mr.. Harrington then endorsed the
idea and thanked Mr.. Treao for his
kindness towards the High School.
AS we passed out, each student
shook hands and thanked him for the
pleasant time and excellent oppor-
tunity that he had given them.

station relative to the cause of pale
yolks Of hens eggs showed that eggs
laid by hens fed only on certain grains
and animal feeds generally have this
characteristic, and adding to the ra-
ton liberal amount Of fresh or dried
young clover, alfalfa or grass, will, as
a rule deepen the yellow color. The
effect of this green feed on the color
was demonstrated by an experiment in
which four lots of hens were fed alike
except that no hay or green feed
was given to one lot, while the other
three lots had different amounts of
clover hay alternating with green al
falfa. The depth of color of the yolk
varied in the different lots and was
directly proportional to the amount
Of clover fed.
Whatever may be the particular
ingredient in the green food, the prac-
teal lesson to learn is that the poul-
try raiser who desires eggs with deep
ly colored yolks can obtain them by
feeding an abundance of such green
materials as those indicated. The
fancy trade demands deeply colored
yolks and clear whites, and the poul-
try-raiser who caters to such trade
must take such matters as this into
account.-Rural Californian.

extending beyond the feathers on the
thighs and lower body of the bird
it is an almost certain indication of
health and hardness.
The tendency Of wheat is to pro-
duce healthy growth, feeding the
muscular tissues and aid materially
in causing the hen to lay many and
rich eggs.
AS rule, one feed of soft food is
sufficient and that should be given
early in the morning, as soon as the
hens fly down from the roosts.
One great recommendation the lar
ger breed of fowls have over the
small ones is that the large ones
are more easily confined, while the
smaller ones go where they please.
Ducks and geese may be fatten-
ed very quickly on boiled turnips,
potatoes and carrots thickenei with
oatmeal. They should be confined
for this purpose and fed FIVE times a
day regularly.
A gill of linseed meal mixed with
ground grain, to every six hens, is
one Of the best and cheapest medi-
cines that can be given for bowel dis
ease, provided no other food is given
Tor forty-eight hours after the linseed
meal is administered.
With poultry, as with other stock
in feeding for growth or to fatten
for market it is necessary to feed
regularly and all that is eaten up
clean, if the largest gain in proper
ton to the food supplied is secured

One Way to Make Hens Lay.

The question is often asked, how
can I make my hens lay? The fol-
lowing, from the Poultry Yard, tells
how it may be done:
When hens, especially old ones.
have been on full feed for months,
the egg production often drops to a
very low point, and may remain there
indefinitely even On good laying
ration In such cases the best plan
is to reduce the feed sharply Or even
to starve the hens if on range for ten
days or two weeks, and then resume
heavy feeding. In most cases they
will soon be making a satisfactory
record.
A well-known poultry editor used to
get great deal of credit by his abil-
ity to tell folks why their hens didn't
lay. His invariable answer to the
question was, "Hens too fat. Starve
them" The merit of this answer was
that it didn't in the least matter what
the condition of the hens might be, a
short period on scant rations, fol-
lowed by full feeding, was almost GER
tain to start them laying. It worked
just as we'll on poor hens, generally
as on fat ones, unless the poor hens
had been starved already.
A hearty appetite, frst-class diges-
ton and not too much fat, will gen.
orally bring the desired Shower of
eggs"

Grit for Fowls.

When your fowls seem to care for
nothing you give them, just offer them
little grit. When hens mott slow
ly it is usually due to impaired diges-
ton which means that you should give
them a little grit. If you wish to
prevent chicken cholera by keeping
your flock in full vigor, just give
them a little grit. If you wish to
derive every particle of lime from
the food given your poultry just see
that they have plenty of grit. If you
wish to starve your hens to death:
give them plenty of good wholesome
food, but withhold the grit and they
will starve in the midst of plenty.
The best general purpose medicine |
know is good, sharp, well-prepared
grit with a whole lot of exercise, ev-
cry day in the year.-Ohio Farmer

The cash book shows the receipts

A petty ledger is kept to record

family customers who pay each
month. AS rule, the servants are
sent for the eggs, or to order poul-
try, and each month a bill is forward
ed to the head of the family. For
these accounts l have found a petty
ledger about right. I use loose leaf
binders for the main reason that all
closed accounts are readily removed
getting rid of all dead matter.
While I do not claim perfection for
the system, I am very we'll satisfied
that it is a simple and yet accurate
way of keeping records. By it | at
once am informed just what I own
and what I owe; the amount Of mon
ey [ have taken in during the year,

little time, but at the end of the

When the fowls are first taken sick
soak some corn in kerosene oil for
several hours, then feed it to sick

corn, give them each about a teas

most cases unless they are too far
gone-Ohio Farmer.

know exactly what he is doing.
Poultry-keeping is a business and
can be made profitable, but to do this
it is necessary to know where you
are at.
An experienced poultryman of New
Jersey, writing to the American Ag
riculturist, says:
There are a number of poultry &C

know the value of each hen. These
traps are run from January I to June

July, August and September [ do
not keep individual egg records.
My reasons for this are two-fold:
First, l want to know which are my
cold weather layers, as there is more
money in winter eggs than those of
summer; second, hens are apt to SUI
