All the. successful poultrymen con-
suited gave all feed dry. Not one
was found who is feeding a wet mash
at any time during the year. Grains.
vegetables, alfalfa and meat are at
all times fed dry.
All the successful poultrymen feed
alfalfa, many of them every DAY in
the year. Some feed alfalfa meal,
some alfalfa leaves, and others al
falfa hay, allowing the hens to pick
off the leaves and reject the stems.
While alfalfa is growing. the
green plant is preferred for feed.
Alfalfa colors the yolk the dark

All our successful poultrymen feed
meat meal. Many of them keep it in

the hens, where they can eat it at
viii. Meat meal seems to be essen
tial to profitable egg production In
Colorado. A few use green bone in
stead. An ample supply of animal
material in some form is necessary.
Some of our poultrymen may feed a
limited quantity of meat meal and n
liberal supply of skim milk or ourd.
a variety of grain is fed. Wheat
forms from one-third to one-half the
grain feed by most of our poultry
men Many feed kaffir corn. Bad
barley is used considerably, and field
peas improve the flavor and quality
of both eggs and meat.
DR.. j. w. Downey states that nine
tenths of the total grain feed given
his hens during the year is oats.
Professor Chambers feeds, wheat,
corn, bran, alfalfa. shorts, linseed
meal and meat meal. Most poultry
men find that the largest egg yield
and the most money is secured when
variety of grains is fed.

Prisoners Should Work.

"Clubhouses for criminal loafers is what State Prison Commissioner Roger P. Clark calls county jails where prisoners have nothing to do but watt for the time to eat and sleep. Every inmate of jail, he thinks should earn his keep, and wherever practicable should be kept at hard labor. Mir. Clark says. Throughout the state it is the ex- eeption rather than the rule to have the convicts in the county jails at hard labor. A jail where the sen tenced men are not obliged to work is a clubhouse for loafers of the criminal class Punishment of crime is not a local issue. The criminal has no permanent home. The state should take over the peni- tentiaries, and misdemeanants sen tenced for a terms of forty days should be placed therein and made to work. the state to bear the entire expense of punishment"

The edelweiss farmers are busy now" said Mir. Stump, the interlaken librarian. In all the highlands of the Bernese Oberland boy farmers are growing edelweiss in the vain hope of getting rich. They won't, though" he continued. You can't farm edel- weiss as you can wheat The first year it grows beautifully, the second years the flowers lack the woolly fuzz that is the feature of the edelwelss, and the third year there are no flowers at all, nothing but leaves. The wild edelweiss grows high up in the Alps m dangerous places. You risk your life to pluck it, and you can sell the towers for 20 cents apiece. Now, if you had 100-acre edelweiss farm, all white with blooms, yielding every year lO,OOO edelweiss at 20 cents each to the acre-well, that would be s2,000,- o0O year, wouldn't 1t?
 We Swiss are on the make-and if edelweiss farms were profitable there would be many one hidden away in the remote valleys. But what good Is edelweiss without the woolly fuzz? our boys grow it. you can buy 1t from them cheap. but the great edelweiss 'arms started in the last generation py our leading capitalists all lie bar. ren aud desarted now.'

LiFE's MYSTERIES.

The news columns tell ot physi- clan in Madison county, this state, receiving a sentence of nine years in prison for counterfeiting. This man was prominent church member, a Sunday school worker, a man known among his neignbors as a most de- vout christian and, besides this. former reports stated that he had a large and remunerative practice.
 With all these things, with the nigh esteem of his community, with his worldly needs provided for, with education and intelligence surely sufficient to distinguish between honesty and dishonesty, this man sought to defraud his government and his neighbors. Sought to and did violate the laws of God and man.
 Instances of this sort would be even less remarkable if they were less frequent. It is hard to under stand such a lapse by such a man. 1t is not so strange when a poverty stricken, uneducated man, breeding over his condition and surrounded by by bad influences, is led into a state of mind where he justifies such acts; and his fall does not seem so great.
 Are such cases a species of insani- ty, or are they but the breaking out of an element in life that civilization and education and environment have only glazed over, not wiped out like the vital germ in a seed that has long lain dormant, and then, by a change in condition, starts life and completely obliterates the hull that has surrounded it?
 The mysteries of life are far from solution.

CTS of Arkansas can do if they try. It shows and u at is the most grati- flying feature to me- that Arkansas is beginning 10 raise what she needs for herself. It shows that the farm CTS are breaking away from the idea that they must raise only cotton and are beginning to realize the fact that the soil of Arkansas can produce almost anything"
 The farmers of Arkansas are learn ing to raise what they need-what they must have for their families to maintain their homes.
 That is the most important lesson that the peopie of this great state can learn, a d in no county is it more valuable and more urgently needed than in Polk county.
 As has been pointed out in The Star that, ever since Mena was es- tablished Polk county has sent out thousands upon thousands of dollars every year for things that can and should be raised at home. Hun- dreds of thousands of dollars are sent out from Mena each twelve months to Missouri, Kansas and Ok lahoma for feed stuffs alone all of which should be grown at home and tie money kept among the people of the county.
 The old idea of growing a crop of cotton and then buying meat, flour, meal, corn chops. bran and hay to maintain family and live stock must be abandoned.
 The lessons taught by the state fair, and county fairs, will help do it.
