When hen finds dry. dead bug oi
wiggler she cocks her head to n side,
holds a postmortcm and often passes
the "ded I'M" by.
But II n grasshopper takes flight she
will leave her clothes on the bushes 10
chase that jack rabbit insect to a "fraz
zle."
Just 80 she runs from beef and pork
scrap, blood meal and dry cut bone tc
catch fresh green bone. the artificial
bug and wiggler.
Why? Simply because it's more pal.
atable and digestible raw, and then the
others may be adulterated, old. spoiled
or tankage, while dry bone is only
graveyard lime"
Protein, the prime constituent Of
meat and eggs, is more suitable In
meat form for heavy egg production
than that found in other products, and
not only more palatable and dlgestible
in raw bone than in cooked and dried.
but the system takes It up more readl'
ly; it goes right to the spot to stimulate
the ovaries and promote health.
The ground gristle. meat and fresh.
juicy bone form a perfect substitute
for bugs and worms which, rich in pro-
tein, are the most important element
in heavy laying.
Nature furnishes worms and bugs In
their season, and eggs are plentiful.
We feed the substitute in winter. and
again many eggs.
Green bone makes hens healthy,
brings many eggs when highest and
makes the flock hardy against winter
disease. 1t prevents egg eating and
feather pulling, natures pullets early,
brings strong germed eggs that hatch
vigorous chicks which grow into best
broilers and stock.
The promotion Of hen health and in.
tfease in eggs soon pay for machine,
and ground bone at dollar hundred
cuts down the feed bill
Feed sparingly at first; later all they
want.
Beefsteak bones and backbone are
best.
Ribs cut into dangerous sharp sliv-
ers, shin bones are mostly lime, pig
heads are very rich, and pig toes stop
the cutter and make you cuss.

unfortunate incident at Red Gables.
Mrs. Beisel was said to have been in
volved in the bitter conjugal relations
Of the Erbs.
For fifteen years Captain Erb was
identified with Republican politics in
Philadelphia and the state. When
Israel w. Durham, the Republican
leader, became state insurance COM
missioner he appointed Captain Erb
an actuary. During the legislative in
vestigation of the insurance depart
ment under Governor Pennypacker
Erb became one of the principal wit
nesses. Durham resigned the insur-
ance commissionership, and Erb be-
came his private secretary. Captain
Erb was a Pennsylvania national
guardsman.
Mrs. Erb is noted as a beautiful wo-
man and a daring rider of horses. The
young widow is also fond of society.

The price of diamonds is following
the general trend and going up. This
does not necessarily mean that people
are getting luxurious again and have
money to burn in mere display. Dia-
monds usually drop after stocks go
down and do not rise again until gen
eral securities become firm at good
prices. Precious stones are a good
investment when business conditions
are normal.
