tell from the refuse that was left in

An egg from hen that is fed right
will hatch strong chicken and there
will be nothing left but the dry shell,
with no leavings in it. An egg from
a mash fed hen, if fertile, will often
not hatch, for there will be too much
slop in that egg for the chick to ab-
sorb, and it seems to poison the chick
before it can pip the shell. If such
an egg. does hatch quite little OF this
slop will be found left in the shell and
the chick will invariably be runt
Eastern poultrytnen apparently con-
ceive the idea Of mash feeding be-
cause Of the continuous cold weather
during the winter. By feeding hot
mash they reasoned that the chicken
would be better able ito Withstand the
cold. Contrary to their reasoning this
hot mash acts as a false stimulant.
The bird feels good for a short time
after eating and consequently gets
sluggish and as it has been warmed
up it does not exercise. The period
following this, however, is just the op-
posite. The food loses it's warmth and
the bird takes another relay at the hot
mash in the feed trough, or if there is
no more there it stands around doing
nothing and catches cold. So it can
be seen that no matter how it is fed,
in what form or quantity the feeding
Of mash brings, not good results, but
injurious and often fatal effects, as
the chicken loses vigor and ambition
it fails to dust properly and therefore
becomes hot bed of lice, mites, etc.,

POULTRY DEPARTMENT

poultry diseases writes: During the
past winter I was asked to visit a
broiler plant where the percentage Of
death from some new disease was
very large l found that under ap-
parently the same conditions in pre-
vlous years there had been much
lower death rate The chicks as they
came from the incubators were large
and healthy.
There were few deaths until the
third week The chicks seemed to
thrive for while, then in tens and
twentles, would lose appetite, become
dumpish, grow thin and die. Of the
chicks brooded in the dark days OF
January, SO per cent died. Examina
ton showed little change in the giz
gard or bowels The livers were
slightly darker than in health, but the
lungs were soft and gritty"
These were tuberculous chicks from
injected brooders, and the only thing
to do was to clean up the broders and
keep things in as sweet a condition as
possible and arrange start next sea-
son with brooders free from germs.
Wash your ,brooders with good, hot,
scalding hot, soap suds, and air them
in the sunshine. Keep disease out, it
is easier than fighting it when once it
gets a foothold.

POINTS IN FAVOR OF DRY
FEEDING.
Lessons the Labor of the Poultry
man and Gives Stronger and
More Vigorous Fowls.


We have recommended dry feeding
several times, and given our reasons
for prefering it. The whole subject is
thoroughly argued out in an article
from the Northwest Poultry Journal,
which we think you will find convlnc-
ing:
When a chicken is fed wet mash, it's
whole digestive organism is thrown Out
OF plumb and it loses interest in life,
becomes inactive and lazy. Why?
Because such food requires less action
in the crop and gizzard and is conse-
quently more rapidly passed on to the
lntestines which, having more work
thrust upon them than they can per-
form do it hurriedly and poorly. AS
the inteStlnes are overworked SO must
be the other organs, such as the liver,
etc. Surplus fat is stored up which is
not worked off by exercise for the fowl
has full crop that has been easily
and quickly filled and does not need
to exercise, therefore it becomes mac
tive and does not want to. Now when
all the fat is stored away that the
chicken is capable Of carrying, indi
gestion steps in [ do not need to
dwell upon the effects Of indigestion.
Furthermore a lazy hen is not apt to
lay prolihcally, nor is fat one liable
to. If hen that is overfat does lay,
her eggs will be few and far between
and small, for the presence OF too
much fat prevents the proper action
OF her egg organs. Where these eggs
set, a great percentage of lnfertil1ty
would be found for her sexual organs
have been greatly debilitated by the
strain on other parts Of her system.
Such things as these make many
failures in the poultry business, all be-
cause Of the unnatural feeding. Con-
troll this with the feeding Of dry grains,
when all organs work in unison and
keep time like clock work.
When the hen is active, healthy and
profitable every day in the year, is
not over fat and consequently lays we'll,
Jays good-sized eggs and fertile eggs,
when wanted, the difference between
the profit and loss can be plainly seen.
L learned this by experiment, but l
should hate to learn it through ex
perience with my whole flock, as |
have seen Others do.
Here is another instance OF results
rom wet mash feeding. Wishing to
introduce new blood among my birds
bought sitting of eggs from a poul
,ry1nan who had good stock. They
were fine birds but he treated them
wrong. Yes, they paid him back. I
also got a share OF that pay back"
| received the eggs in good condition
but noticing they were rather small I
set them and took good care that ev-
erything went right. At the first test
80 per cent were fertile and at the

Fight Duel With Autos

Two drivers of automobiles recently
fought terrible duel in Columbus,
Ind, with their machines as weapons.
They are Joe Medlam of that city and
and Eugene E. Reyer of Kokomo,
each an agent for his particular kind Of
car
An accidental collision started the
row. Both men became angry and,
putting on full speed, charged each
other. Time and again they crashed
together, each trying to put the other
machine out of action. They would
back away, then charge again, until
the tenders of Medlam's machine were
so bent it wouldn't run.
Medlam then became more angry
than ever and leaped into the other
car. He began to pummel Reyer,
but the police put an end TO it.

A Gravity Railroad in Missouri

There is at least one railroad, and
that in Missouri, whose motive power
during part of its daily operation is
wholly gravity. The Cassville 4 West
ern railroad, from Exeter to Cassyille in
Barry county, is four miles long. 1t
has two engines, three coaches and
two freight cars as equipment. All
trains on the Frisco at Exeter are met
by this line. One of the passenger
coaches is left at Exeter when the
other coach with the engine goes to
Cassville, after meeting the northbound
train. A few minutes later the Frisco
southbound arrives at Exeter and the
single coach takes its quota OF passen-
gers to Cassville by the force of gravity
entirely. The engine returns to Exc
ter with the two coaches and the same
operation is again gone through. The
line is very profitable. Globe Demo

A well known southern congressman
who has been prominently before the
country as a military heron has made a
ten strike along the line OF achieving
his political ambitions by inaugrating
in the district in which he lives a cam
paign having for its object and improv-
ed type of agriculture, Meetings have
been or are to be held in every town
ship in his district at which agricul-
tural problems pertinent to the partic-
ular locality are discussed by experts
from the state Agricultural college,
These meetings were very SHINY at
tended at first, but now they are the
talk OF the state and the attendance is
remarkable. This congressman has
performed real service to the people
OF his state and gained a political pres
tige and popularity which could not
have been acquired in any other way.

WAGES WERE NEVER HIGHER
Contractors Resort to Various Articles
TO Keep Men on the
Payroll

The labor plot gets thicker every
day. Railroad contractors and employ
ment agencies for the lines now build
ing in the Pacific Northwest have bid
against each other at such rate for
workmen during the past few days, that
common labor is now quoted in Seattle
at SO a day with promises of steady
employment. The Northwest never
before saw such conditions as prevail
among the railroad camps in Washing
ton, as we'll as in Alaska.
The shortage of common labor in
the grading camps is laid to the fact
that, after men come here from the
east and central west, they find oppor-
tunities for locating homesteads or
timber claims or get the gold fever
and go to Alaska to work in mines at
double the pay allowed by the labor
contractors.
H. c. Henry, contractor for the St.
Paul railroad from Idaho to the coast,
has perhaps 5000 unskilled men at
work in the grading camps who are
earning a minimum of $3.50 per day
and a maximum of So day. AK men
and woodchoppers get as high as So. SO
a day and the board supplied is fur
nished by contractors who vie with
each other in serving the best meals.
The lot of the wageworker who earns
his bread in the sweat of his brow, was
never so fat and luxurious as now, ac-
cording to the verified statements Of
both railroad contractors and the en-
ployment agents.
we provide our men with the best
eastern hams and bacon and the choic-
est of fresh beef and mutton" said
one Of the employment agents for the
St. Paul, and still they see fit to leave
US to go into the mining districts OF
Alaska or find employment at higher
wages in the railroad lines that are
building in the north. We could use
10000 more men easily in this state
alone for railroad work and there will
be room for double that number when
the logging camps and mills resume
operations next month.

New Danger Signal Tested Abroad.

The successful demonstration OF q
new railway signaling apparatus is de-
scribed in a letter from an English
writer to the consular bureau. 1t is
the invention of H. ]. Jefcoate, oil
Crewe, and the test took place on the
Wirral railway, in the presence OF rail
way officials and newspaper men. A
locomotive running sixty miles an houl
with its cab enveloped in tarpaulin, SC
that the engineer was entirely shut of
from the outer world, was confronted
by the distant danger signal set agains,
it. The engine at once began to slow
up and stopped dead at the home sig
nal until the semaphore arm dropped,
when it moved ahead again. The
state of the signals was communicated
to the engineer by an indicator in the
cab, which announced them by bell,
semaphore and light.
Two long bars parallel to the rails,
one beginning where the other ended,
were placed at both the distant and
home signals, and as the engine
passed over them according as the
semaphole was on or off, one or other
of these bars rose on its pivots and
pushed up one or other of two little
plunger wheels which projected from
the locomotive, and as it did so bell
was rung in the cab. The practical
value OF the invention, which is simple
and cheap, was admitted by those who
witnessed the test.
