If you throw an apple into flock
OF hens that have been closely con-
fined and fed on grain alone yin will
observe how quickly they will eat it
The same hens, ii rned loose in
to an orchard, after few days
would not touch an apple, though
the fruit might be very plentiful.
An apple, as we'll as other kinds OF
green food, is luxury to fowls only
when they are closely yarded or
housed. and fed principally on grain.
There is little nutriment in APP
pies, cabbage, potatoes and other
green foods, but they serve as a sue
culent and change of diet and for
this are great help. Glover and
Alfalfa stand a. the head of all
green stuff for hens, but even with
this some vegetables may be given
10 advantage. Grain alone for hens,
even if it were best, makes an ex-
pensiye ration these times and the
aims of the poultry farmer should
he to utilize as much of the waste

of the farm and house as possible.
In getting a good yield of eggs
the main factors are fresh-cut green
bone and meat. Glover and vegeta-
bles, a dry, comfortable house and
plenty of exercise are also essential.

In the great immigration problem
the main question, concerning re-
quirements for admission, can never
be satisfactorily answered, and no
one can tell what the effect of i'm
migration will be on our future ma
tional life. But on one point all are
agreed-that everything should be
done to make the immigrants pass
afe and reception as comfortable as
possible. Years ago Dickens pro-
tested against the moral and physi-
cal condition OF the steerage. The
worst abuses have been corrected by
law and in the course of general inn
proyement of stea mship service. The
requirements Of the new law, which
is to go into effect the first OF next
January, fixing the amount of deck
room and the space between decks
allowed for each passenger, have
been met in advance in most of the
ocean steamers. Notable improve
ments have also been made in the
care of the immigrants after they
land. At Ellis Island, the great i'm
migration station in New York,
new dining room was opened recent
ly, which is clean light and cheerful
The kitchen is model Institution.
There are pleasant sleeping rooms,
tiled and painted white; and the new
conner is introduced to clean lava
tories with the amenities Of towels
and soap, and he has a perfect lodg-
ing for the night. Humane hospi-
tality does not stop with material
comforts. Officials are there to tell
the laborer what part of the country
most needs his services, to help him
find his friends, to see that unpro-
tected women are put in safe hands,
to effect communication between the
Immigrant and the volunteer SO
cieties that are waiting to assist him
and. start him right in the new
world. The Italian meets the agent
OF the bureau which his government
maintains in New York. The men OF
other races find that Americans from
home have formed philanthropic or
CARNATIONS to welcome and guide
him. The immigration station is
necessarily sad place; doubt, anx.
iety and grief are in the air. But
much Is being done by an efficient
government and a generous people
to make the reception room Of the
nation a hospitable, encouraging
place.

HELP ALEDO OUT
Proposition Is That Tri-Cities SUBJ
scribe for $4,000 Worth of Pa
per to Secure Line.

A meeting at which the business
men are invited to be present, is to be
held at the Commercial club in Daven-
port tomorrow afternoon at 100 for
the purpose of discussing action on the
proposition of subscribing for bonds of
the Rock Island Southern in order to
secure for Aledo communication with
the tri-cities. The proposition is that
the tri-cities raise a subscription and
handle $4,000 of the bonds. AledU
must subscribe for 100000 worth in
order to secure the line, and the Aledo
citizens have appealed to the tri-cities
to assist in providing the amount. 1t
is argued that the communication with
Aledo will be as profitable for the three
cities as for Aledo, and that the ques
ton is a mutual one.
Ready to Help Here.
Business men who have looked into
the matter have expressed their favor
of the movement, and there seems lit
tie doubt that the money will be
raised The bonds are to be secured
by first mortgage. with per cent in
terest, payable semi-annually. The
bonds sell at 80 cents on the dollar
There is probability that they will
be marketable within six months. i
the people here do not care to hole
them longer.

just as sweet to those who know you

he used to when he had $18 all to him

expenses; both make it rule never to

AGAIN UP IN AIR
ABOUT TUNNEL WORK

MIR. Pcnse has received word from
1. w. Mcconnell to the effect that n
telegram just received by Mr.. Goudy
from the Travellers Insurance Conn
pany, the present owners of the
Montrosc a Delta canal, stating that
the company refuses to accept the
proposition made by the Uncompah-
gre Water Users Association in re
gard to the deferring of the. pay
ment on the canal. This means that
the $4,000, which was to be used
for the purchase of the said canal,
cannot be used to push the work on
the tunnel, as was planned for.
Hence the proposition of securing ad-
ditional aid for the tunnel work is
again up in the air, and other plans
will have to be formulated. This
will probably come up for discussion
