Chicken Chatter.

Increase the profits by decreasing the
number of old hens.
Well managed poultry is preferable
to farm crops in that poultry will pro
duce an income at all times of the
year.
Do not despise well bred poultry. No
territory has ever been noted for Its
poultry products unless well bred
fowls were the rule.
Get rid of some of the many ROSTERS
that are now worrying the hens to no
good purpose. They are deadheads
and eat up the profit of the flock.
By raising standard bred poultry one
will be able to sell stock and eggs FOL
breeding purposes and get much better
prices than when selling eggs anc
fowls for food only.
Hunt up private customers and agree
to sell them strictly fresh eggs; theI
do it. A good price should be secured
and the payment will be made In casl
instead of groceries.

Beans For Poultry.

1t is an accepted fact throughout
many sections of the country that
poultry will not eat beans. Many OF
the New York farmers state that it is
utterly useless to try to teach poultry
TO eat beans of any kind unless they
are broken into small pieces or cooked
as is often done for the hogs. Nothing
could be better for poultry than beans
if they can be induced to eat them. we
are somewhat surprised, says the
Feather, to notice that western writ
err states that poultry in his locality
Is largely fed upon dry beans.

SKIM MILK FOR LAYERS.
Tests Which Indicate That 1t Greatly
increases Egg Production.

The department of agriculture has
received a report from the West Vir-
ginia experiment station of test
made to determine the value of skim
milk as against water for wetting a
feed mash, says American Poultry
Journal.
In the first test, which covered 122
days, twenty-five hens fed skim milk
laid l,244 eggs as compared with 1856
eggs laid by the twenty-five hens fed
mash wet with water
In the first period of the second test
sixty hens fed the skim milk ration
laid SG2 eggs in thirty-seven days rs
compared with go eggs laid by sim
liar lot fed no skim milk. IN the see
oad period the rations were reversed
The chickens fed skim milk laid 1,22l
eggs in fl sy-six days as compared witt
9I8 in the case of the lot fed no skin
milk. In both experiments more eggs
were produced when skim milk was
substituted for water for mostenint
the mash.
Under the conditions prevailing il
these experiments and with eggs sell
ing for 20 or % cents per dozen tn
skim milk used for moistenlng tn
mash had a feeding value of from II
to 2 cents per quart. In these trial
SO2 quarts of skim milk were fed, re
sultlng in an increase in the egg pre-
duction of 762 eggs.

DAIRY WISDOM.

1t takes little more to rig up a
dairy with scales to weigh individual
nesses and a Babcock tester to find
out If each COW is doing her share,
but the returns more than overbalance
the extra outlay. No man is willing
to keep a cow after he knows she is
not making profit, but he never can
find out until he goes at 1t In prac-
teal manner.
Get thoroughbred cows, then give
them thoroughbred care, says the Farm
Press. The one is Just as Important
as the other. Thoroughbred COWS re-
auire more individual attention, but
they are willing to pay for 1t.
Never churn In a cold room. Inc
butter will be cheesy If you do. The
churning room should be about the
temperature of the cream.
Because the cow falls off In milk 1t
does not always follow that she Is sick.
There may be something wrong with
her feed. Look into that. Often 1t Is
the man and not the COW at all.
The best COWS, as a rule, have the

Referee Bagby Makes Long Awaited
Decision in Rehkopf Saddlery
Company Case.
DECISIONS TO BE REVIEWED

Ruling that money in this partlcu-
lar case did not constitute supplies,
which would have given the Ameri-
|can-German National bank a lien for
$4,000 advanced to e. Rehkopf. as
president of the E. Rehkopf Saddlery
company Referee in Bankruptcy E.
w. Bagby this morning acted on a
matter which had been hanging fire
for some time.
The bank set up the plea that
money advanced was really Sup
plies" In several admiralty cases. in
which the referee had taken an i'm
portant part, money had been con-
|strued as Supplies, and liens en-
forced by reasons of the decision:
but Referee Bagby, after a lengthy
|deliberation, during which he re-
viewed much authority and heard
much argument, decided in bank
rupt matters, not marine, the rule
could not apply.
AS to the objections filed by the
trustee to $4,000 worth of liens in
the saddlery company case Referee
Bagby issued an order overruling
them. The referee held that the cred
itors did not have to file the liens in
county court 90 days before the act
of bankruptcy. Both decisions will
be appealed, it is said.
In Other Cases.
Referee Bagby received the AFR
nation of his decision in the $4,000
mortgage matter in e. Rehkopf bank
ruptcy case Attorneys Campbell &
Campbell and Crice & Ross held a
mortgage on property sold, and Ref
cree Bagby decided that the attor-
neys could not touch the proceeds of
the sale. but would have to look to
purchasers of the mortgaged prop
erty.
In the case of the Benton Mer-
camille company an order referring
it to the referee, from Judge Evans,
at Louisville. was received this
morning. Referee Bagby will at once
call for the filing Of schedule Of

FISH GoRGING THEMSELVES.

Sherman's march to the sea in
the Civil war hardly cleaned the
country more than the dread army
worms which are sweeping over parts
of McCracken county. Colonel Bud
Dale, of the New Richmond House
went to the country fishing yester-
day on the farm Of j. X. Lemon near
Lamont and found the worms liter
ally by the millions and wherever
they had been, not a sprig of anything
green was left. These worms move in
a regular line, hence their namS of
army worms. They were swarm
ing up the sides of the creek into the
pasture and thousands fell back into
the water. The fish in the creek gorg-
ed themselves on the worms and ev-
cry one caught had even its mouth
filled. Most of Mr.. Lemons pasture
is as green and fine as could be pic
tured. but the part that had been
covered by the army worms was as
liz a fire had swept overit The only
way to stop the destruction of the
worms is to dig trench in front
OF their line Of march and when they
fall into it, run over It With a har-
row burying them. Every effort is
being made to stop this pest. which
with the unreasonable weather Is
giving the farmers cause for worry
about next years crops.

To Choose Delegates and Nom

Vacancies on County Committee
Filled and Routine Matters Are
Attended To.
DELEGATES TO CONVENTION.

Official call for mass convention
of the county at the court house Sat
urday afternoon, June rs, at 1880
O'Clock to select delegates from Nc
Cracker county to the state Repub-
lican convention and to nominate a
candidate for the legislature, was
made by the Republican county COM
mittee, which met in The Sun Office
last night. This county is entitled
to "a delegates to the Republican
state convention. In the absence of
Chairman Frank Boyd, who was de-
tained last night, Capt. ]. e. William
son, Sr., was unanimously chosen to
preside. Some 25 committeeman
were present, and the local situation
was discussed informally, but there
was no business before the county
convention, other than calling the
mass convention.
Two vacancies on the county ex-
ecutive committee we're filed last
night l.. c. EIey was elected for the
Massac precinct to succeed DR.. l.. G.
Graham, who moved out. Mr.
James Hart was chosen for the Flor
ence Station precinct to succeed DR..
Adams, who moved away.
The State Convention.
There will be 2.O55 delegates in
the state convention of which mum.
Der Jefferson county (incIuding
Louisville) furnishes the largest
number, 217. McCracken county
leads the First district in the number
of delegates and the 40 votes from
the First congressional district may
cut considerable figure in the con-
vention. The votes in this district
are apportioned as follows: Ballard,
s. Caldwell. IA: Galloway. s; Car
Isle. 5; Crittenden. II; Fulton, 6;
Graves, 16; Hickman, 7; McCracken,
"a; Livingston. g; Lyon, q; Mar
shall, 8; Trigg, 10.
The Jefferson county delegation
will go to Hon. Augustus e. Wilson,
starting him off with the largest sin
gle delegation toward the necessary
number Of votes 1,O2S. 1t is believed
that when the situation is canvassed
preceding the convention, Mr.. Will
son will be seen to have such an
overwhelming majority that all re-
ceptive candidates will release their
delegations.
McCracken county will have Cap
tain Ed Farley as candidate for
state treasurer, and it is certain he
will take all of western Kentucky
with him.
