Sell Eggs by Weight.

The best hen is not always the one
that lays the largest number of eggs
in a year. True, she may be the
best from a numerical standpoint, but
she may not really have performed
as great service as some other hen
laying fewer but larger eggs. A hen
that lays 100 eggs, at 8 eggs per
pound, produces II I-2 pounds of
eggs per year, while another hen,
laying 40 eggs per year may bring
produces II pounds or half pound
less. 1t is admitted that the hen
alying 40 eggs per year may bring
in more money, but she is not as
valuable, so far as the amount pro-
duced is concerned, as the other. If
eggs were sold by weight the most
valuable hen would be the one that
converted the food into the greatest
possible weight of eggs, while the
buyer would also receive the full and
true value Of his money-Poultry

The Details.

With the poultryman it may happen
that, with a bright prospect for success
before him, some little oversight, or
omission to attend to one or two de-
tails, will destroy all his anticipations.
There is sometimes a sad lack of profit
in handling chicks just because there is
a sorry lack Of management some
where. The essentials are the count
less little things which one cannot
teach another, and these have more to
do with results than general rules.
The breed, the care, the warm shelter,
the proper food, are all on the list, but
only the practical man learns those
which cannot well be written. The
proper plan is to begin with a small
flock, and gradually increase, SO as to
meet the details daily, learn to avoid
mistakes, and to seize every advantage
for reducing expenses and increasing
profits.

Poultry Notes.

Whenever dozen eggs sell for
the price Of a pound of butter, the
man with the hens is ahead of the
man with the COWS.
Ventilation is absolutely necessary
at all times, and particularly SO in
warm weather. Drafts, however, are
often fatal to fowls, even in summer.
Fowls intended for market should
be killed by bleeding. This should be
done from the roof Of the mouth, so
as to leave the skin unbroken. Dry
pick while still bleeding.
To cure hens Of the eggzeating hab-
make a mixture of flour, ground
mustard and red pepper adding
enough water to hold together. Dose
egg with mixture and put in the hen
house.
Some sell their fowls when a dis
ease has appeared, hence disease is
carried from one place to another.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-04-24

Purchases should be made from
strong, healthy, well-known focks.
In order to improve the laying quail
tiles of the flock, save eggs from the
best laying hens for Matching, and
save roosters from these eggs.
Lined eggs will keep very we'll two
or three months if kept in a cool
place. Take a pint of salt and quart
of lime, slack with hot water; pour
in enough water when Stacked to
make four gallons. Settle and pour
off in stone jar. Place the eggs in
while fresh. The lime fills the pores,
and keeps them pretty we'll for a
short time.
Do not grease chickens-if it can
be avoided, as too much grease is in
furious, and never use coal oil. If
the large lice are found use lard or
sweet oil, the oil being preferred.
Ten drops Of oil Of pennyroyal may
be added to a large tablespoonful of
the oil, and with the finger rub one
or two drops only of the oil we'll
into the down of the neck and head
of each chick.

Failures in Laying.

Sometimes the hens will not give a
profit even with the best manage
1nent. They are subject to lice, mott
ing and other drawbacks at all sea-
sons. Occasionally, even in the winter
season, one or two individuals may
begin to mott. The discarding Of
the old feathers and growing of new
ones is a severe tax on all kinds Of
fowls, and they seldom lay during
the process, as they connot produce
eggs and feathers at the same time.
When feeding fowls, in order to make
them lay, use meat-either cheap por-
tons, such as liver or chuck, or the
commercial ground meat-allowing
but little grain. Once a week a mess
composed of one quart of bran, one
quart of ground oats and half pound
Of linseed-meal will be found bene-
fetal. Never overfeed, and avoid
feeding three times a day, allowing
meals morning and night only.

are taken in the matter Of cleanliness.
The warm days OF summer sometimes
Cypress the young OF animals, and
chicks may suffer severely when COM
PEELED to rest in a close house during
an excessively warm night, as they are
disposed to huddle, and thus increase
the temperature of their bodies and CT
the house, but the chicks Matched early
in the year do not meet with this diff
Guilty.
Provide ample ventilation for the
chicks during the warm days, and do
not keep too many OF them in one
family, as they may crowd.

We are always glad to hear Of fail
ures and try to turn them into success
ses. Tell about your failures, so
others will not make the same mistake
you did. The story Of a failure often
points the way to success.
Keep your hens busy these days.
Make them scratch for a living in a
deep bed of litter. The busy, we1l-fed
hen is the one that lays the most eggs
and Professor Rice has discovered that
it is the hen that lays the most eggs
that lays the most fertile ones. Keep
the hens working so they will be
strong and vigorous.

Why Chicks Die in Summer.

On nearly all farms the complaint is
met with in attempts to rear the early
chicks, but that the later ones do not
grow and many Of them perish. Such
a condition is SO we'll known that to
discuss it may not prove interesting,
yet there is a cause for this difficulty,
and the subject is worthy Of consider
alton
Early in the year the farmer or poul-
tryman then gives more attention to
the chicks, as farm work is not press
ing until later. The early-hatched
chick gets a good start in the spring,
and reaches a stage at which it is less
summer season begins and the army OF
lice arrive. 1t is the lice that keep the
late chicks from thriving, and as the
large chicks can endure more hard
ship than the smaller ones, they do not
so readily succumb or cease to grow
The late-hatched chicks are usually
left more to the care Of the hen, as the
favorable weather prompts the owner
to have faith in the ability of the hen
to protect and provide for them, but as
the warm weather seems in favor Of
the late chicks such conditions are also
the best for the increase Of lice and the
natural enemies OF chicks Gapes is a
disease that does not so readily infest
the early-hatched broods, but causes
heavy mortality among those Matched
later, as warmth, moisture, and filthy
yards are excellent promoters OF gapes
The confinement Of chicks on locations
early in the year does not lead SO
readily to disease as during the sum-
mer, at which season decomposition
and fermentation are hastened by
warmth In other words, the early
chicks do not have to combat as much
filth as the later ones, and they can
forage over more ground than the
smaller chicks, after summer begins.
The remedy is to give the late
chicks the same opportunities which
usually assist the early broods. Keep
the poultry houses and nests free from
the mites, and carefully protect the
fowls from the large body lice, as lice
go from the hens to the chicks Give
the late chicks a good send off and
they will soon take as much care of
themselves as the larger ones that we're
Matched sooner.
There is no reason why the late
chicks should not thrive fully as we'll as
do the early-hatched lots, if precautions

SURPRISE GIVEN OLD SETTLER
Children and Friends of Gaudentz
Witwen Celebrate His Eightieth
Birthday Anniversary.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Gaudentz Witwen, resident of Wis
consin before it's Statehood, one of Sauk
County, earliest living settlers, a broth
er of J. P. Witwen and the father of
County Treasurer j. E. Witwen, both
of this city, celebrated the eightieth
anniversary of his birth at his home in
Prairie du Sac last Monday. The cele-
bration was complete surprise to Mr..
Witwen and his wife, being planned
by his children, who together with
numerous friends descended upon the
old couple and made the evening one
of the happiest events of their life. The
party came 'sjust in time for dinner"
and made merry until a late hour.
Mr.. Witwen was presented with y ;
imported cuckoo clock, which he VSsr/
ues highly, it being from Switzerland,
his birthplace. For some time Mr..
Witwen has not been feeling we'll and
and the happy even accomplished what
medicine and doctors were unable to do.

WERRON WILL
REFUSED PROBATE
(FrOm Saturdays Da1ly.)

In refusing to admit to probate the
verbal will of John Wesley Werron,
County Judge Kesley yesterday decided
perhaps the most unique and the only
will case of its kind that has been
brought before him during his fifteen
years of office. The Judge held that
the will was noncupative and upon
motion of the contestants attorneys
appointed William Stackhouse as
administrator, refusing to appoint an
executor of the will.
Bentley and Kelley, who represent
Anna Schanke to who it is claimed
Werron, on his death bed, verbally
willed his property, will probably ap-
peal the case and Judge Kelsey's decis-
sion probably marks the beginning of a
legal contest. Though the proponents
attorneys say they will see the matter
to the c d, there appears less than 5000
worth of personal property to contest
as the real estate cannot be touched in
this matter.
The County court calendar was clean
ed up today and with the exception of
the Werron matter, the rest of the
cases were of the regular order.

Benefit Dance Nets Small Sum.

The ball given at the A. o. U. w.
hall last night by Mrs. A. G. Ringing g
for the benefit of a widow of this city
who was left in stringent circumstances,
while not largely attended, proved an
enjoyable party for the few present.
Owing to the fact that the notice of the
dance was given out but a day or two
before the affair, many people people,
who would have doubtless attended
were unable to do so. The Tom Thumb
wedding being on the same evening
also materially cut into the receipts.
Mrs. Ringing proved, however, to be
a genial hostess, even under the diff
culties, serving refreshments and per-
sonally see ing everybody had the best
time possible. A small sum was cleared
over expenses which will go to the poor
widow. J. Won Wald's orchestra fur
nished the music, which ceased shortly
after midnight.

TWO STRANGE
CAT TALES
(From Saturdays Da11y.)

Pulling hatpins from women's hats
has been the favorite pastime of pet
cat at the home of City Engineer Nc
Ilhargie at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
The big Angora would play with the
pins by the hour. Recently large
lump formed on the side of the cats
neck. A steel point was found in the
affected spot. By pulling on this
point, hatpin eight and half inches
long was drawn from the cats body.
Pussy had swallowed the pin head
first and it was so long that it went
only part way down, leaving the point
to irritate the throat and cause the
gathering. The cat is now recovering.
A cat, which had adopted the plant
of the Sandusky, CO., Foundry & Ma
chine company as her home, under
took to jump through the fy-wheel on
the engine. The cat got caught in the
spoke, was whirled around 400 or 500
times and then through a window.
With eight lives still to her credit she
hoisted her tail and started on a swift
run to find another home.

(Baraboo Continued)
Upper Mill Power Mounds.

During the earlier history of Baraboo
saw mill stood ON the north bank OF
the Baraboo river, short distance
above the present bridge, at the south
west corner of Lyons. This property,
known as the Upper Mill Power, is
now concluded in the property of Mr..
Norman North, which borders the
river and extends across the S. E. / of
the S. w. ! of Section "a. At the west
end of this strip of land there is sharp
ridge or spur of the terminal moralne,
extending down to the river. Beyond
, this is sharp ravine. On the slopes
of this ridge about twenty-five rods
from the rivers edge are two bird
effigies. One is built on the slope of
the ridge with head near the crest as if
flying over the ridge, the other is built
on the opposite slope. Both are repre-
sented as flying away from the river
in a southwesterly direction. The one
leading is built on slope of at least
40, deg. and is unusual in that the head
points down the slope as if it had flown
over the ridge and started down toward
the bottom of the ravine. Both are in
fair condition, but are somewhat
leveled by the rapid erosion due to the
slope of the land.
Garfield Group.
On the south side of the river, Op-
posite Lyons, are still remnants Of a
group of mounds that has been nearly
destroyed by the railroad cultivation.
At least ten mounds were located on
high land which here overloOks the
river. Ends of two linear mounds lie
on the crests of the spur ridges be-
tween the railroad track and the bridge
over the track. From this point the
row of mounds extended to the south
of the track crossing The property of
Willis Ryan and Volney Moore. At
least four of these were effigies. Only
one of the mounds is we'll preserved.
1t is a linear mound lying in the
pasture land belonging to Mr.. Moore.
Case Mounds.
MI A. It. Case went over the ground
with A. B. Stout locating fifteen
mounds near his residence, which is
near the southwest corner of the cor
poration limits of the city of Baraboo.
Some of these mounds are entirely
leveled and all of the others are more
