FOR WINTER EGGS.
Mrs. J. +. HudsOn.)


Let the poultryman look well to his
flock at this season of the year If he
wants to keep up his egg record. We
decided this year to pay especial at
tention to the feeding of our layers
during July and August, and the re.
suit has been so gratifying that If
there are any poultry raisers who hap
pen to see this article and are grum-
bling at the small number of eggs they
are getting, let them try the expert
ment of increasing the quantity OF
their feed and adding variety to it.
In looking over our July and August
record for last year we find that our
gain in eggs this year for the two
months up to this time has been 80
per cent, and we have the same breed,
the Barred Rocks, and aside from the
increase in feed the conditions have
been identical. Last year we did not
feed cracked corn during the summer
months and this year we withheld 1t

until July, as we did not wish to foster
broodiness or increase their flesh I'M
duly; but later, when the grass had
lost it's crispness and their egg yield
was beginning to decline, as is sure
to do to some extent in July, we added
cracked corn and sunf1ower seed to
their rations, and this seemed to give
a new impetus to their laying.
1 think the average poultry raiser
does not feed enough beef scrap, which
is always included in the rations OF
our entire flock. That reminds me of
another important feature of poultry
raising the attention which
ought to be given to the pullets at
this season. If they were Matched in
March and April, they ought by this
time to be nearly, if not quite, full size.
Pullets have been allowed to run with
the old hens never make the rapid
growth that they would have made
if they had been in run by them
selves. The amount of time spent in
putting up some wire netting, togeth-
er with the cost of the netting, is more
than repaid by the eggs that these
matured pullets will lay in December
or possibly November when properly
cared for.
The comb, wattles and ear-lobes of
the pure bred Rhode Island Red should
be bright red. This breed is conspic-
uous for it's beautiful red plumage.
The beak is reddish, eyes red, face
bright red. They are bred with both
rose and single comb and both strains
are recognized by the American Stan
dard." In general the Rhode Island
Red is a compact bird, smooth surface
plumage, general red color and oblong
shape. It's ancestors were the hardy
red fowls common in southern New
England, and believed to have origin
ated from crosses of Asiatics, Games
and Mediterraneans.

MRS. ROOSEVELT
IS IN THE WAY

WASHINGTON, October 13-Womer
have changed the faces of empires, and
why shouldn't a woman have a strong
voice in saying whether such-and-such
man should rule the republic of So
and-so?
Capitol gossips assert Theodore
Roosevelt will keep his promise not to
run again for the Presidency and in
that retirement he will not only be
fulfilling his promise to the people but
the pledge to his wife.
Mrs. Roosevelt long ago Informed
exceedingly close friends that her hus-
band and she decided, purely as a
family affair, not a political one, that
he would leave the White House March
4, 1909.
The spreading of that story within
1.-The last two days has caused a stir,
of course, but as far as society alone
is concerned a second piece of gossip
is of interest. This comes on such
good authority that it may be classed
as confirmation rather than as gossip.
1t is that Mrs. Roosevelt reluctantly
has consented to introduce her young
err daughter Ethel, aged 16, to Wash
ington society, probably in Christmas
week of 1908. Mrs. Roosevelt, says her
confidante, is determined to shield
Ethel from the publicity that came to
Alice Roosevelt, and she would prefer
that the former girl wait until the
family should be established in private
life.
Still, she realizes what it is for any
girl to make her social bow in the
White House and for that reason she
will grant to Ethel just three months
as a social grown-up with the crown
ing joy of the inaugural ball; that is
if the chief personages at that fete be
congenial to the Roosevelts.
Mrs. Roosevelt from the first hour
of the Presidents incumbency has
been solicitous about its effect on her
Often she has pleaded with
persons not to spoil the children and
has exerted all her influence to keep
their doings out of print.

LEASE FORECASTS
A MUNICIPAL

Burdens.

A hint and a forecast of coming mu-
nicipal government is contained IN a
lease filed for record yesterday with
Registrar Merriam. 1t is the lease OF
the Dowsett Company, Ltd, of TWEEN

ADMIRAL EVANS MAY
RESIGN FROM NAVY

| NEW YORK, october 11.-Naval Of
| ficers believe that as soon as Rear
| Admiral Robley d. Evans, commander
! in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, has pilot
ed the sixteen battleships under his
command safely on the forthcoming
voyage from Atlantic waters to San
Francisco he will ask to be relieved
of his command. In the regular course
of events he will retire from active
duty in August of next year, and his
associates say it is natural for the
admiral to desire a few leisure months
prior TO severing active connection
with the service.
AS to Admiral Evans successor there
is already much speculation. There
are many naval officers who believe
that the plum will fall to Rear-Ad-
miral Uriel Sebree, who when the fleet
arrives at San Francisco will be the
commander of the second division and
who will not reach retirement age I'M

THE SEWERAGE COMMISSION.
Very Satisfactory Trip to Florida
Engineer Eiected-The Gravity
System Adopted.

System Adopted.
The sewerage commission appoint
ed by City Council and which left
here on Saturday for Florida, has
COM the trip. Messrs. Geo. L.
Ricl r. F. Haynsworth, Perry
Moses, Jr., and J. P. Booth have re-
turned to the city. The other mem
bers of the commission, Messrs. H. c.
Haynsworth, H. D. Barnett and D. j.
Chandler have gone on visit to the
east coast of Florida and Havana.
The business of tie commission
was completed in ty days time and
the result Of the trip was most salts
factory in every respect. The sewer
age systems of Palatka and Gaines
vile, Fla, were inspected by the COM
mission. The location Of these towns
is very similar to Sumter and the
conditions of putting in sewerage
there gave the commission a good
knwledge of what will be necessary
here.
The commission elected as engi-
neer for the work here, Mr.. ". NJ.
Lyons Of Palatka. Mr.. Lyons has put
in about half dozen systems in Flor
ida cities, which have proven very
successful and he comes highly rec
commended to the commission. The
proposition given the commission by
Mr.. Lyons was better than any other
they have received yet and the secur-
ing Of a contract with him is consid-
cred very satisfactory and advantage
Gus to the city. He will report here
in about ten days for the commence
rlent of the work.
The system decided upon for this
city and as installed by Engineer Ly-
ons is the gravity system. This sys-
tern is far less expensive than the
other systems in which expensive
pun ping outfits have to be used and
is sac to give much more satisfactory
service in a level locality like that
Of this city.
In every way the commission is
we'll satisfied with their trip and its
results.
