WHAT GREEN BONE WILL DO.
1t VIII Double the Egg Yield, 1t Is
Said.

Green bone doubles the egg yield
because 1t contains more than four
times the reproducing value of
grain. 1t makes eggs more fertile for
1t tones up the entire system and fills
the head of the flock with vim and vi
tality. That's why green bone makes
stronger, livelier chicks at Matching,
for bone-fed hens lay eggs with life
and vitality in them. That's why green
bone develops earlier broilers and
earlier layers; it promotes growth and
the development of bone and muscle
by promoting abundant nourishment
1t gives a good frame work to start
with and helps lay on heavy flesh,
thus making heavier market fowls,
says Farm. and Home. Green bone
makes red combs, bright eyes and
glossy plumage, for 1t gives a tone to
the entire system of the fowl that
nothing else will. It will double your
profits; 1t has done 1t for thousands
OF others.

Helen, duchess Of Manchester, is
now lady-in-waiting to Queen Alexan-
dra. and the 1rst American to receive
that honor. So much for marrying
the only SON Of the most popular
duchess at the court OF Edward VII.
Other American duchesses may shrug
and say they wouldn't be a lady in
waiting on any account: but don't you
believe them. It is a royal distinction
tremendously valued by English mo-
bility. and the next step is the polit-
ical plum to be made mistress of the

Our last deal opened my eyes and

things very essential to the rural citi-
zen that are not mentioned within its

For instance, there Is no reference
to paying cash or exchanging goods
for wheat, oats, corn, beans, butter,
eggs and hay.
How much will you pay for cattle,
sheep and hogs, I. o. b., at Baldwin?
How much will you pay to support

Roosts.

When roots are not over dropping
boards they should be made low. For
this there are a number of reasons.
The heavier fowls cannot fly high. and
even those of the lighter breeds injure
the soles of their feet In jumping from
high perches. The larger hens show
their dislike of the high perch when
getting on in the morning. If at no
other time. It is not unusual for
heavy fowl to spend several minutes
in making up her mind to take the
Jump. making several false attempts
to jump before finally doing so. This
shows that the fowl regards it as a
serious matter. The number of heavy
fowls that get their feet bruised In
this way Is large. The high roost is
unnecessary.

RECOVER THIRTEEN BODIES

P1ttsburg, Zee. 3.-Thirteen bodies
have been recovered from the Naomi
mines Of the Unitel Coal company,
near Fayette City. Two OF these had
previously been identified, but eleven
Of the bodies, horribly charred by the
fire following the explosion, were left
at the bottom CT the shaft, 50 that ef-

Be delayed through removing the dead
ones to the surface, where frantic wo-
men and children are waiting news of
the fate Of loved ones.
The body of a mine pumper was
found near the twenty-second entry of
the mine. The man had died from
suffocation.
Judging from the fatalities thus far
known, two having been caused by
poisonous gas fumes, it is almost GER
tain that all of the forty-seven miners
entombed in the mine have succumbed
to the deadly afterdamp.
There is also a possibility that the
explosion occurred so close to the men
that they were killed by its force or
the resultant fall of tons of rock and
earth.
A large force of rescuers has Ia
bored almost constantly in an effort
to reach the imprisoned men. The
work has been necessarily slow on &C.
count of the wreckage and afterdamp
Notwithstanding the fact that the res
cue parties have worked in fifteen
minute relays, a score or more of their
members have been compelled to go
to their homes suffering from the
poisonous gas. Two of the rescuers
are in critical condition.
All day long a crowd, estimated at
1000 persons, has stood about the
mouth of the ill-fated mine awaiting
some news from the entombed men.
Hundreds of these persons are rela-
tives or friends of the unfortunate
miners, and their grief is pitiful

as to when they will reach the i'm

The case was that of the state

a cost of 100000, was burned to the

next to some wooden buildings, was

Only the most desperate efforts OF

the town from total destruction. Sew

directly in the line of the flames, tae

So imminent was the danger that
