Re Fed Regularly to the Fowls.


Re Fed Regularly to the FowiS.
One Of the best and, in fact. one Of
the most necessary poultry foods is
green bone, says Il. II. Jones in Amer
lean Poultry Advocate. No other food
can entirely take its place. There are
different food elements required for
fowls. and one Of the most essential is
protein. The other clements arc also
necessary. but this is the one which
Is given the most attention by poultry
men. In green cut bone we find large
percentage OF this most essential .ele-
meni; hence its value as a. food. There
may be some objections TO feeding
green bone for several reasons, but 1t
Is certain that the advantages fully
compensate f6r them
Green cut bone can be fed advan-
tageously to fowls intended for many
different purposes and under different
conditions. II Is great help in has
tening the growth of young birds. AL
so when fed to laying hens the egg
yield will be increased wonderfully
and the poultry raiser well paid for
the labor expended. 1t is food which
all fowls readily cat, and 1t must be
fed iudiciously--that is to say. not too
much must be given at time. 1t is
recognized fact that animal food
must be given in some form, and.
while Il may be supplied in other
ways, this is undoubtedly! the most

THE MAIL ORDER PROPOSITION
Sens BILE. Words From the, jackson
q? Citizen Press on the Subject aa


There appears to be an awakening in
country districts all over the United
States over the question Of patronizing
nail order houses for goods. ass .-
New pure food laws in some of the
western states have brought to light
some of the Conditions that enable the
mail order houses to pay big rent in
cities. enormous advertising and print
ing bills and still apparently sell goods
as cheap as the local dealers in the
country.
In order to see whether big Chicago
mail order houses were complying with
the pure food laws of Minnesota in
sending food staff into the state several
consignments were ordered.fo member
Of the pure food commission and atten
tion was called 70 the law in order that
there might be no mistake in the ship
ment. r.q 4r,1..,l.stue .r-
A careful examination showed that
every articls'was aduiterated and some
of them to the sxtehtItllat it made them
useless for food purposes and lessened
the cost Of manufacture nearly one
half.
Leaving out Of the question tAe
chance of getting inferior goods it pays
better to buy at home as illustrated by
the following taken from the New
Years address of a Galesburg H.,
business man to his customers
While there exists tendency
among a certain number to send to mail
order houses for articles which they i'm
agine can there be procured cheaper or
more easily, we believe that this method
is losing favor and that closer rela-
tionsnip is being formed between the
dealer who is awakening to the grow
ing needs Of his farmer friend, and the
consumer who is coming TO realize that
I he is jeopardizing his own interests
when he sends away money which
might as, easily be spent at home and
that the profits which in time build the
local tradesman modest home, support
local interests and perhaps extend
mite to local charity. are not to be COM
pared to that larger greed which saps
the life of competition and binds to its
own interests the highest powers in the
land, while the money from its votaries
builds mansions and railroad lines for
the potentates of this mighty system of
greed" Z.

The new minister was speaking en-
Enthusiastically, yearning to move this
lethargie people. The boy listened
with face alight. Through the long
hours of his childhood he had sat
in the sunshine and dreamed of great
deeds. With Che awakened i'm
pulses of youth, he had tramped the
forests and wondered what life meant
to the men who were not of the noun

Christmas
Tales
I AYoR sToY of Atlantic City was

MAYOR STOY of Atlantic City was
XVI talking about Christmas dinners.
IF one is going to give Christmas
dinner" he said, sit is best to give a
good, even lavish one. Then one
doesn't get up from the table with re-
morse gnawing at the heart, as was
the case last year with an Atlantic
City young man. He took his fiancee
and her mother to Christmas din
ner in New York restaurant. Arriv-
ing at the restaurant little before
the ladies, he ordered the dinner, and
then said to the waiter:
"Look here; I'll call for two quarts
of champagne after the fish, but you
just bring that champagne cider in
the fancy bottle instead. It's good
stuff, and the ladies won't know the
difference
Every well, SIR said the waiter.
"Then the ladies arrived, and the
dinner progressed splendidly. The
champagne was ordered, the cider was
brought, and neither guest perceived
the deception. On the contrary, they
both praised the champagne. They
drank heartily of it.
"But when the bill came at the din
ner's end, the young mans face dark
ened. He beckoned to the waiter, and,
with mods and winks galore, pointed
to the wine item.
Waiter, there's some mistake
about this charge, isn't there?'
"tOh, no, sir said the waiter. Two
bottles of champagne, eight dollars.
That was what you ordered, sir
Certainly. Two bottles of cham
payne. We remember your ordering
them the ladies chorused.
"'But-' said the young man, wink
ing and nodding like steam engine
at the waiter.
"The DILL is quite correct, SIR said
the waiter, firmly
"The ladies looked at him reproach-
fully, and the young man could do
nothing but pay up"
