AMUSEMENT CONTESTS
Players Meet In This City to Match
Their Skill in Favorite
Games.

Upton has been the meeting place
OF several gentlemen who temporarily
laying aside the sorlid cares of busi-
ness joined in friendly contests of
skill and fortune. For several weeks
crlhhagc players in the cities Of Cali
iornIa and Versailles have been bant-
Icring each other for a game and when
they met at the City Hotel in this city
last Friday evening their playing
would have no doubt been a great
pleasure to Mr.. Pickwick and his
companions. DR.. l.. NJ. Gray and
Col. Vim, Thompson were the Cali
iornia players and Mr.. +. +. White
and DR.. f.. p. Yarncll were the players
from Versailles. First honors fell to
California, Versailles not winning until
the fourth game. Eleven games were
played in the four handed match,
Messrs. Gray and Thompson winning
six and Messrs. Yarncll and White
winning five. Two handed matches
were then played, DR.. Gray winning
from Mr.. White and DR.. Yarncll beat
ing Col. Thompson. A final two
handed match was not played. Tip
ton Times.
Well, the California experts did
mt have much to brag Of, and we
predict ,ha, our Versailles players, in
a home game, could lay it over
Messrs, Gray and Thompson in good
shape.

New Railroad Selling Stock,

Last week a charter was granted at
Guthrie to the Oklahoma & Golden City
railroad company, a proposition that has
been in an embryonic state for the past
three or four years. 1t is the purpose of
this company to build a road from Paw
lluska, Okla. to Jefferson City, with a
branch to Springfield.
There is no section in the southwest
that needs Il railroad as badly as does the
section that this proposed road coitem-
plates building through, and neither is
there a section Of country that would
give a road II larger tonnage or volume Of
business than this road will haze when
completed.
As evidence Of this, it is but necessary
10 cite the fact that il is said that before
the charter for the road was a week old.
and before a meeting could be held for
the purpose of electing officers OF the
company, people who know the country
the new road would develop anal tie
amount of business that must necessarily
come to it, had subscribed for more than
1000 shares Of the capital stock, tliere-
by placing a little better than S2,OOUOOO
in the %company's treasury. The funds
with which to build the road have been
secured and as soon as the prelimlHa RES.
can be arranged, work Of construction
will begin at once at not less than three
points on the route. 1t is the purpose of
tile company TO have the road completed
within two years. The home offices Of
the road will he at Pawhuska, O r.,
Golden City, Mo, and Jefferson City.

all ,ip'es be maintained .-Springfe field,

Poultry Notes.

Are your chickens thriving II not.
why not' Remember a few essentials
that are necessary for their proper de-
velopment at this time Of year. Good,
nourishing food, plenty Of pure water,
lots of shade, and freedom from lice, and
the greatest of these is the latter. For if
your chicks are infested with lice and
mites, all the shade and all the water
and all the food will do them no good.
To get rid Of the lice on the chickens
and the mites in the poultry houses, We
wish to recommend a liquid lice killer
that We have used with very gratifying
results. 1t is called the Red Label LID.
uid Lice Killer. To get rid Of the mites
aud bugs i'll the chicken house, you
spray it with a solution of one part Of
Lice Killer to twenty parts of water.
This lice-killer is unlike most other kinds
in that it NIKE readily with water and
for spraying purposes 1t is not necessary
10 be as strong as when you put it on the
roosts to destroy the lice OH the fowls.
Sim ply painting the roosts will do this.
One other thing about ltcc.killer, that
We notice was that the gallon can Con.
tanned a gallon Of lice killer and not two
or three quarts.
Another thing about your growing
chicks that you should not forget is that
they need more room now in their coops
at night than when they were a few days
old. 1t is surprising how fast they grow,
and if they are crowded too much at
night they will get stunted and out of
shape. Give them larger coops with
plenty of o for them to expand.
Another thing, when you shut the
chicks up at night to prevent cats, rats,
or skunks from molesting them, you
should see that they have plenty Of fresh
air, otherwise they are apt to get i'll from
breathing vitiated air. or even suifocated
ii shut ~ perfectly tight.
There is probably 10 animal on the
farm that is capable Of making more eco.
nomical use of food consumed than is A
young pullet or cockerel. As a general
rule farmers market their pullets and
cockerels before they are in the best con-
dition for marketing. They should be
fed for at least three weeks prior to ship.
ment. In the corn belt there is probab-
ly no grain better adapted for fattening
than corn. During two weeks Of the fat.
tcning period il is we'll to mix with it
more or less Of animal food. Some Of
the large poultry-feeders use as much as
20 per cent Of animal food mixed with
the grain ration. II is questionable
whether suc!, a large quantity car be
used with economy on the average farm,
for the reason that intensive feeding is
seldom practical and the consequent
needed care is not usually given, but as
much rs 10 per cent OF. animal food mix.
ed with the corn ration should give good
results. For fa,tening purposes 1t is bet.
ter-so feed ground corn and II possible
moisten it with milk. Milk is rich in
protein matter and helps balance the
ration. If you have lots Of old lard OF

feed chicks for mar CT they should nc
have tpo much exercise. During the
