DIPPING FOWLS FOR LICE.

To treat number of fowls indi-
vidually with louise powder is tedi
GUS, unpleasant task An easier and
equally successful plan is to dip the
fowls in reliable brand of sheep dip.
Hold the fowls by the legs, heads
down, with one hand supporting their
heads. Let the solution cover every
part of the body from the toes up, ex-
cept the head and eyes of the hen.
Reserve this part until last, as the
hens gasp and struggle when their
head go under. Put the fowls to and
fro several times in the tub, which
insures the solution percolating
through the feathers and reaching all
sections of the body.
Keep each fowl in the solution not
less than one full minute, and two
minutes is often better. Dipping
should be performed only on warm,
clear days, so the fowls can after
wards dry themselves in the sun and
will not catch .-Epitomist.

MONEY IN POULTRY

At the poultry institute held by
the Colorado Agricultural College il
Greeley, Professor w. G. Chambers
exhibited Rhode Island Red hen
that had laid 200 eggs in one year.
Professor Chambers keeps from,
forty to fifty hens on a town lot and
has to buy all his feed He keeps an
accurate account of all expenses, and
last year for feed, louise killer, straw
and all incidentals, the cost was 81 a
hen.
He uses trap nests and keeps no
hen thatnlays less than 100 eggs in
twelve months. The average for his
entire flock is little over twelve
dozen eggs hen per annum.
The average price in the open mar
ket for the year for eggs has been
twenty-five cents dozen. This
makes at market price an income of
s. hen for the year-s2 hen more
than the cost of feed where all feed
has to be purchased.
Professor Cham bers has made more
than this amount, because he has sold
some OF his eggs for Matching.
His hens are given dry feed entire

He keeps before his hens all the
time in self-feeding hoppers a dry
mash made of the following mixture:
Bran, 200 pounds; alfalfa meal, 200
pounds; cornmeal, 100 pounds;
shorts, 100 pounds; linseed meal, 100
pounds; meat, bone and blood, 100
pounds.

Collie in our horses, says an English
veterinarian, is generally the result
of careless or improper feeding. The
stomach of the horse is small, and the
digestion is limited, and If the horse
is hungry or overfed or is allowed to
gulp down a big feed collie is the re-
suit. Also if musty hay or musty,
sour feed is used Or if fresh cut grass
wet with dew or rain is hastily eaten
in large quantities collie is often the
result. Witness.

GAVE OUT 1900 BREAKFASTS.
Record Made by Chicago Philanthro-
pist in -Four Days.

Chicago, Jan. 9--Recent criticism of
conscientious efforts to relieve the tre-
mendous amount of suffering in Chi
cago is bitterly resented by the Rev.
Johnston Myers, who has given break
fasts to over 1000 hungry men in the
last four days at the Emmanuel Baptist
church.
80 many men came to US seeking
food, work, or aid of any kind, that we
decided to start feeding them. We be-
gan giving breakfasts Sunday and this
morning we had 900 men to feed. We
used 800 loaves of bread and 80 pounds
of butter and gave out 5000 cups of
coffee in three hours.
Almost all of the money has come
out of my own pocket and I can only
keep up the breakfasts a day or two
longer under present conditions. The
talk of pauperizing these men Is nom
sense. They are ravenously hungry
and they cannot get work. The great
majority of them are respectable clerks
and workingInen thrown out Of employ
ment."

Another One From Cove County With
a New Feature.

A peculiar lawsuit involving Cove
county land title was argued today in
the supreme court. In this case it is
claimed that the burden of defending
the action has been taken from the
shoulders of the county commissioners
of Cove county by one o. B. Jones, who
deposited with the county treasurer $50
for the privilege Of getting into the
case.
Because they claim that Jones has no
business in the case, the plaintiffs, d.
c. Nation and E. w. Nation, have filed
a motion to strike the defendants an
swer from the files, and grant per-
emptory writ.
John Dawson is attorney for the
plaintiffs and Lee Monroe and Geo. A.
Kline for the defendants.
The Nations claim that they settled
on some school land, put in $500 worth
of improvements, and asked that ap-
praisers be appointed for the sale of
tbe land. - The county commissioners
refused to confirm the appointment Of
appraisers. on the ground that Q. B.
Jones had bought up the original GER
tihcates' to the land. which was issued
in 1885 and defaulted. The forfeiture,
however. was defective, and Jones
claims to own the land.
The Nations claim that the refusal Of
the county commissioners Is due to
some sort of collusion OF Jones Win
the commissioners.

sfoners to compel them to confirm the
appointment of appraisers, and Jones is
resisting on behalf of the commission

SHOT HERSELF TO DEATH
Mrs. S. S. Graham, Despondent. End
Her Life.

Mrs. Millie M. Graham, of 1921 Tyler
street, committed suicide at o'clock
last night, by shooting herself in the
head with a revolver. Dependency,
caused by i'll health, was the reason for
her act.
Mrs. Graham has been in i'll health
for some time, and last evening her
husband, s. S. Graham, started to the
residence of DR.. Nicoll, at 1435 Topeka
avenue, after some medicine for her.
He had been absent from the house but
a few minutes. when his brother NJ. M.
Graham, heard the report of a revolver,
and ran to Mrs. Graham's room. She
was lying on the floor beside the bed,
with a bullet hole in her right ear. The
brother-in-law hastily called DR..
Scholle, who lives at 1896 Topeka ave-
nue., but nothing could be done for Mrs.
Graham, who had died instantly from
the effects of the shot.
On the dresser Mrs. Graham had left
a note which read: MY Dear Darling
Husband. I love you so. How I en-
joyed that last kiss and the last few
days, I have been so near you"
Mr.. Graham says his wife has been
respondent for long time, and threat
ened to drink carbolic acid two years
