The Colony Plan,

lf you want vigorous chickens and
hens that lay do not overcrowd them
Forty or fifty in one flock are sutfi-
cient. If you have more than this num-
Der by all means make a change, for
your chickens are probably costing you
more than they are worth. II you do
not care to sell any of your birds then
start into the chicken business on the
| colony plan. Divide your flock into
colonies Of about forty fowls each and
build houses for them in different parts
Of the farm. For instance, if you have
one hen house on the east side Of the
barn, put another house on the west
side. Then If you have enough birds
put another house down by the calf lot
and another to the farther end Of the
barn yard. A dozen different places will
suggest themselves If you look for To-
cations on your farm. If you have
made failure in raising chickens or
your hens don't amount to much"
try this method. 1t will surprise and
please you. Your hens will be healthier,
will lay better and will require less
feed. The reason for this will be easily
seen when you have once tried It,
Chickens, or anything else for that mat
ter, cannot stand crowding. Also the
colony plan gives the fowls wider range
and encourages the birds to hunt for
their living. ng.-Exchange.

The success attending the use Of
silage In the dairy business has crea ted
much Interest among beef cattle men.
Silage furnishes succulent food,
which is quite essential to the dairy
sow In keeping her digestive system in
good condition. The same will be found
true for the beef animal Twenty
pounds OF slage per day will supply
all the bulk and water needed in a
fattening ration. The other roughage
may consist Of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy of using
silage for fattening purposes Is well
brought out by Prof. A.. M. Soule Of
the Virginia station, who has stated the
following conclusions:
There was difference of from 8
TO % OF pound Of grain per head per
day In favor OF the silage-fed cattle.
They also finished out better and in
any discriminating market would GER
ta!nly bring better price than the
dry-fed cattle.
VI tHc three IOrlnS OF rQugnage leu,
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, and there was absolutely no
loss. whereas with the stover the loss
amounted to 1875 per cent and with hay
4.16 per cent. Where a large number
OF animals arc fed this would make a
considerable difference in the cost of
ration, except that the shredded stover
can be utilized to advantage for bed
ding

cit is probable that there is no place
in the United States where the prices
for pork products average as high as
in the Pacific Northwest. A condition
of significance, too, is that the people
of this region are not sufficiently alive
to the necessity Of their meeting tho
demand for pork products. Those who
are in the business are making money.
Conditions are improving, however, for
at the present time we note a growing
tendency among farmers to pay more
attention to this business. The Berk-
shire breed is preferable, in my
opinion, although the Duroc JERSEYS are
making some headway. At the expert
ment station We have about concluded
that cross of these two breeds would
be better than either one by itself.n

FIRST OF SPRINGFIELD
 RIFLES RECEIVED HERE
They Win suppIamt the Krags Used by
 Alabannn Troops.


 The consignment of new Springfield army rifles to be used by the Alabama National Guard for rifle practice ar- rived in Montgomery yesterday and was immediately taken in charge by Ad1u- tant General Blob Graves
 There are 100 of these rifles. They are Co displace the present Krag-Jor- gensen rifles in the possession Of the various companies of infantry in the National Guard of Alabama. The first 100 vdIl be retained by the Adjutant- General for use by the Alabama rifle team which will go in August to Camp Perry where the regular annual inter national rife shoot will be held again.
 Later in the year, however. the full supply of these Springfield rifles will be in the hands of the Adjutant General for general distribution among the mill itia. there being in the neighborhood of 5000 of the old Krag-Jorgensen to be taken up by the United States War De- partment and replaced by the more modern arm of the Springfield type. The new rifles are of 30-calibre size and have every up-to-date equipment for quick firing. aiming and convent ence of carriage.
 General Groves said yesterday he Is expecting very soon the shipment of indoor target rifles to come in. These are to be distributed over the state one to each company, to be used alternately by the members of the companies in indoor rifle practice so that there will he some general acquaintance among the men with what is to be expected in the way of qualifying for the crack team to go to Camp Perry. With the increased practice program inaugural ed by General Graves this year. the shooting efficiency of the National Guard is confidently expected to excel that of previous years.

AUTHORITYDISPUTED
TO WHOM WILL CITY BACTERIOL-
 OGIsT ANsWERs
The BirminghaHn BacterIOIogist Wants No Interference by Health Om- cers and Latter Gets Opinion
 of the Attorney General

In a qualified opinion rendered yes terday by Attorney General Alex M :. Garber, the status of the city Bactert- ologist of Birmingham is settled in a general way. The fixing of his status and his responsibilities has been q much -mooted question among the health authorities of Birmingham ana Jefferson County.
 The present city bacteriologist of Birmingham, E. M. Duncan, who is also the meat and milk inspector of that city. has always contended that he is answera ble only to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of that city. The city health officer and certain officers or the Jefferson County Medical Society have insisted that Inspector Duncan. as bacteriologist, is subject to the inspec- ton of county health authorities and should cooperate and recognize their suggestions.
 The bacterioIogical department of Birmingham was created by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of that city and is being maintained by the same au- thorities For this reason there hes been some resistance to the heaitn or fcers- having anything to do with the supervision and examination of the meteorological laboratory.
 In order to determine where the au- thority for the appointment of the Birmingham <bacteriologIst rests and who has the supervision of the depart ment. State Health Officer w. H. San ders requested an opinion of the At torney General on the subject. The Attorney General replied yesterday that he would not commit himself to a final opinion in the matter because he had not examined the city code of Birmingham.
 Recognizing the suprsme powers of the county boards of health in their respective counties. the Attorney Gen. eral. after reviewing the amendatory act of the last Legislature, approved August is. 1907. to provide for the reg ulation of the public health, etc, is in- clined to attribute powers of super vision and inspection to the Jeffer- son County health officers in regard to the Birmingham bacteriologist but also incIlnes to -locating the appoint i've power with the city authorities This, he says, depends upon the ordi- nance of the city on the subject. II the ordinance provides for the -electior or appointment by the city authorities they have the right to name the ofh' cer without prejudicing the genera supervising powers of the county l board of health.
