Granulated is the form in which to
Supply bone to poultry.
To make poultry business success
it must have attention.
1t is essential that the poultry
house should be well ventilated.
Bone meal contains lime and also
animal matter which is of value.
All perches should be on the same
level, none higher than the others.
Some green food is indispensable
to ducks after they are two weeks old.
Whole wheat is an excellent food
for hens, but should not be used ex-
clusively.
The use of food is to sustain life
and maintain warmth and good con-
dition Of body
Hens like a variety Of food and il
is an item to give them as much u
this line as possible.
For ducklings try cornmeal and
bran, equal parts, s2d make it into
mush, with milk.
If the egg shells are red to poul-
try care should always be taken to
crush them well before feeding.
Rather the best way to feed corr
to young chickens is to give it in a
crushed or cracked condition.
Many case of indigestion may be
traced to a heavy feed in the morn
ing, and the next meal taken from
the leavings Of breakfast after being
trampled over.
1t is pretty hard to give growing
cockerel or pullet enough corn te
make it lay on fat, especially when
running out, as so much of the food
goes to the production of bone, feath
ers and muscle.
During the spring at least it is
best to confine the young poultry to
their houses and yards until the sun
has dried the grass, feeding them
well SO that they will be reasonably
well contented
1t is a good rule with poultry to
feed early and late, and let them gel
hungry between meals, or rather have
regular intervals between meals, as
the pra.t of keeping food by them
all the time promotes an excess oi
fat.

marriage a Lottery.

That marriage is lottery is not

his alternative-he may marry the

thereby $4,250, in addition to what.

does not please him, he can turn the

Corn Stalk Sugar.

Professor H. w. Wiley, of the De
partment of Agriculture, believes that
the stalks of sweet corn might be
made to yield sugar of the best quail
ity. They contain much more sugar
than those of the common field corn,
and the sugar content is at it's maxi
mum at the time when the ears are
pulled. Sugar, of course, is readily
convertible into alcohol, and would be
profitable.

S indictment should be framed
Ire specifically; and it observes
BIT. after all, her imperfectiens are

terence is that she outgrows or
les down her early and objec-
nable faults and develops merit.
That is consoling, but not con-
soljng enough. 1t is not enough
that our defective and Objectionable
girls turn out pretty well as women.
No country can afford to have any
worse girls than it must. Girls ought
to be sweet, well-mannered, intelli-
gent, and well trained. II our girls

SUBURBAN RESIDENCE
 TRACT 10 BE OPENED
Ii. |. Latham Buys The Thorne Forty And will Pla. 2. a=d Place i. on the Market Immediately.

After considerable dickering and
 time consuming effort. H. l. Latham of the firm of H. l. Latham & Co, has
 bought another tract of forty acres ad- joining the city of Phoenix. which he proposes at once to cut up into five
 acre lots and place on the market as a residence addition. The property in question lies directly south of ths forty acre tract known as the Latham addi-
 ton on Central avenue. It faces the avenue on the west side, and therefor 9
 has an cast frontage. It is located
 just opposite Central Place on the
 avenue and is less than a mile from
 the center of the city. being the only
 place between the city and the Indian
 school where acreage property in small
 tracts can be secured with an east
 frontage. The property is known as the Thorne tract, having been owned
 by the late F.. E. ThOrne.
 The consideration in the transaction
 was not learned, but it is understood that the price paid was a neat sum. It was not so much however. but tat the new owner will be able to dispose Of it at reasonable figures to early buyers on a quiCy turn. For that matter. MT. Latham in order to assure himself of being able 10 handle the enterprise. had a portion of it sold before he bought the property. As it will only require eight buyers to relieve him of it entirely, and some of them are al ready secured. he feels no doubt about the success of his investment. He pro poses therefore to improve it immedi- ately. cutting it uD and plating it just as he did his other addition, giving each lot a Center street frontage and the location is even more desirable than the other being that much nearer the city.
 Improvements will be made at once on the unsold. as well as the sold DOT. tions So it will very soon be in evil dence as one of the most desirable of suburban places. The same building restrictions will be made that were made on the Latham tract. assuring the erection of nice houses when any are built as is the case in the Latham addition. His experience in plating and selling the other addition enable Mir. Latham to know just what he can io with this one. and the feature of it's nearness to town as well as its front age on the only boulevard in this gives il an advantage over his former project. Concerning he boulevard, so-called, but more Central avenue, it is admitted hat just now it has lost some of its former splenGOr. but it is being re- stored as rapidly as possible and movement $ under way to make its , improvement this time permanent.
 Central avenue has always been ! something of a hobby with MT. Latham l lot only because he has financially in | crested himself along its course and l ealizes that it is not only a good ! ,lace for investment, but that every 1 and new investment | makes more valuable the former hold | ngs of himself and all who live in | lose proximity.

THE BACHELORS SIDE OF IT.

In an address at an Elks' banquet the other night a member describing his own want of a matrimonial career reiterated an old and often uttered truth and one which is moreover sup ported by the vital statistics of all countries and all times. He said that when a man passes the age of 9 the chances that he will ever marry begin to be reduced. The percentage lowers with the rapidity of a geometrical ratio in fiye-year periods so that by the time he is 45 he has very few chances left. By chances. of course, We mean probabilities, or "expecta- tions" At 55 or 50 the bachelor sel- dom marries, though widowers of the same ages frequently do. This tend ency of increasing age. to view with suspicion the marriage relation has always been de9lored as unnatural and young men have been urged to em- bark early lest their lives be aimlessly spent on the bleak shore of bachelor dom:
 There is another side of the case which We believe has never been hitherto exploited. We enter upon it now not in defense of celibacy but in the interest of fair play.
 T. is alleged and admitted that after %. men grow less and less prone to marry. That much then is agreed upon and We can therefore proceed to the next proposition. which is that at the age of 25 the judgment of a man Is not nearly as mature as it will be at 30. At B it has made a nearer ap- proach to ripeness. In the average man mentality reaches its highest de- l velopment after he has passed the l half century mark.
 IL Is certain that men of 9 who are l commended for assailing one of the l most serious problems of human life | are not chosen to great places of re- ] sponsibility. They are never great . financiers, warriors. statesmen. divines | or philosophers. These honorable pO- sltions are reserved for men who have been prepared for them by time. men of 30. 35 and so on up to as high as 70.
 Thus, as according to common ac- ceptance. man ascends the scale of mentality. as he receives by the years a fuller equipment for great achieve ments and responsibilities he eyes with increasing shyness the matri- monial halter.
 So. is it not possible that this aver sion to marriage which grows upon the bachelor with his age and his judg- ment, is, instead of a weakness to be deplOred, an evidence, or We mean, an incident of his natural accumulation of wisdom? We cannot say.

A Lazy Liver

May be only a tired liver, or a starved
 liver. It would be a stupid as well as
 savage thing to beat a weary or starved
 man because he Jagged in his work. So
 in treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t is
 a great mistake to lash 1t with strong
 drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
 indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
 body whose organs are weary with over
 work. Start with the stomach and allied
 organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
 them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvellous cures of "liver trouble by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re- stores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-mak- ing glands, cleanses the system from poll sonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection Of other organs.
