EGGS IN WINTER.

Briefly. the solution Of the winter egg
problem is just this: Good, healthy, pro-
life stock; and sprinc-tim e conditions.
Given hens that have the ability to lay
a large number of eggs in a year, there. Is
no reason why eggs should not be plentiful
in the winter time il the hens are treated
right. OF course, correct treatment Implies
a great many things.
Everybody knows that during the spring
and early summer months Is the time when
eggs are the most plentiful. Everybody
ought to know that this is simply because
at that time the natural conditions sur
rounding the hens are the most favorable.
1t Is during the spring time when tile air
is fresh and balmy, neither too cold nor too
hot for good egg production, insects, bugs,
worms and green stuff Of all kinds abound,
and all these things play an important pant
in the manufacture Of eggs.
Approximate these conditions during the
winter time, and the hen will lay just as
freely during the winter as IN the spring.
It's easy said, but not so easily done, fer
there's a great many factors Involved.
However, there's nothing Impossible about
getting winter eggs in large quantities II
takes a little extra work, Il little extra
care, a little extra feed and al that, bur
the man who masters these problems hndS
that he is well paid for his ~'extfas.

IS
AFFECTED BY
DICK LAW
Officers of First Regiment
Who Had Votes Before,
Defranchised Now.

When the officers of the First Regi-
to ELECT a major, in accordance with
the orders. of General Edward A.
Campbell, 1t will be found that the pro-
visions of the Dick militia law, under
which the National Guard of this State
passed on January Fl, will nave con-
siderable bearing on the votes of the
officers, and will reduce the voting list
from 81 to so men. The reduction will
be among the staff officers.
The candidates are Captain Arthur
Hamilton MacI<ie and Captain Will
lam II. Garfield. the former having
been elected some time ago in an cleo
ton made Illegal by the action of Gen-
eral Campbell in barring Captain Gam
field as a candidate. This resulted in
court proceedings, in which the general
could make no defense. The court adj
vised the regiment officers to wash It's
dirty linen within the walls of the
arnory."
Under the Dick bin the medical Of
Gcers, paymasters, rifle inspector and
Judge advocate are classed as depart
lnent officers, and are merely attached
to the regiment and have no vote.
Those affected are Surgeon Henry AL
lers. assistant battalion surgeons, with
rank of captain, S. Harbourne Said
win. Henry NJ. Chandler and Horace
w. Patterson; paymaster, Captain
james l.. Marsh; inspector of rife prac-
tise. Captain William II. Howard, and
judge advocate, Major Cortlandt Par
ker. The latter succeeded Major !. W.
Rice since the last election. AS he and
one of the surgeons were aid to be
Garfield men and the FIVE others were
out for Mackie, the former candidate
has made a clear gain of three votes.
Since the last famous election, two
new second lieutenants have been
elected, and so close is he fight that
several of the officehs have expressed
the opinion thai the decision rests
with the two new mon.
The rivalry and charges OF religious
discrimination is shaking the regiment,
and If tonight's meeting does not end
in a definite decision it is said that u
large number of the officers may re-
sign.
