To Make War on Prairie Dogs

In cooperation with the stock men, the United States Forest Ser vice has begun an active campaign against prairie dogs on the infected ranges within the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico. Sue cessful attempts at poisoning prai rie dogs were made last spring and summer by the Forest Service in other parts of the country, and this year the work will be carried on more extensively.
 The poison used to put an end to these little pests of the western rangesis prepared by coating wheat with preparation of strychnine, cyanide of potassium, anise oil and molasses. The stockmen supply horses and men and the poisoned wheat is given out by the govern ment officers for distribution on the ranges within the national forest ranges.
 Early last month $500 pounds of wheat were prepared in Albu- querque and shipped to the various national forests in Arizona and New Mexico to be distributed. This quantity of wheat will make ap- proximate 6,O2O,OOO baits, which will clear up an area of from 5000 to 8O,OOO acres, at cost, exclusive of the labor of distributing it on the ranges, of about one to one and a half cents an acre. The poison is used to best advantage in the early spring when the dogs first come out of their winter quarters and before the green grass is plentiful enough to appease their appetites.

Probably the Work of Beveridge

Washington, March 2O.-Terri- torial officers in New Mexico, Ari- zona and other territories will re- ceive shock in a few days when they receive an official order from the secretary of the interior, Bal finger, informing them that in future they must remain in their territories except in cases of emer- gency. Secretary Ballinger called at the White House today and the contemplated order received the approval of President Taft. The order intends to put an end to gov ernors and other territorial officials coming to Washington during ses- sions of congress, spending many months there lobbying for their measures or for statehood.

Set Eight at a Time.

1t is best to set at least eight hens
at a time. Start them on china eggs,
and If they settle down we'll put in
good eggs the next night. When sup
plying the eggs dust the hens and
eggs with insect powder and apply
the powder twice again before hatch
ing. Test the eggs about the eighth
day, put the good eggs under fewer
hens, and reset the other hens. Do
not be discouraged if some of the
hens leave the eggs many hours at a
time. The eggs will hatch, although
a little later than If they had not been
neglected. Sometimes eggs will
hatch when left without the hen for
thirty-six hours if the weather is
warm. Fifteen chickens is the limit
that one hen should care for. More
than that will not do so week.-Mrs..

Feeding For Eggs.

To produce a number of eggs in
winter / feed the fowls at daylight a
light feed of mixed grains, about four
quarts to each 100 fowls. AS Dol as
they have their first meal the vessels
are filed with warm water, and these
vessels should be kept free from ice
by adding boiling. water when neces-
sary during the coolest weather.
At 8 in the morning the fowls
should be given all they will eat of a
warm mash that has been steamed
over night in a covered mixing box.
The last feed should be given them at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon, and made
up of mixed grain thrown in the lit
ter. To increase the egg production
a cut of raw fresh bone and meat
should be given the fowls twice a
week during cold weather. A. G.

VICTORY FOR COAL ROADS
Commodities Clause Valid But
Harmless.
Carriers May Own Stock in Coal Com.
panies If They Are Organized in
Good Faith and Ship 1t.

Washington, D. C.-The Supreme
Court, in the cases of the anthracite
coal roads, held that the so-called
commodities clause of the Hepburn
rate act was constitutional, which
was a reversal of the finding of
the Federal Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
This apparent sweeping victory
for the Government was, however,
completely wiped out by the fur
Their finding Of the court that the
ownership by railroads of stock in
coal companies was not direct or in
direct interest in the commodity
within the meaning or the act, which
would permit the roads to continue
their coal business through other cor
porations, and also that the act did
not prevent a railroad from owning
coal mines and operating them; pro-
viding it sold the coal at the pit
mouth in good faith, it could also
transport its products.
These latter conclusions were di-
rectly opposite to the contentious of
the Government, which in the present
suits endeavored to enjoin the six
anthracite coal roadside Delaware
and Hudson, the Erie, the Pennsyl-
vania, the Lackawanna, the Lehigh
Valley and the Central Railroad of
New. Jersey-from violating the law
by transporting coal owned by them
or by corporations in which they
owned stock.
The lower court dismissed the bills
brought by the Government because
the commodity clause was unconsti-
t%utional in that it deprived the car
riers of property without due process
of law, worked directly a conEscation
of their property, was unreasonable
regulation of Interstate commerce
and in nature and effect was discrim-
NATIVE prohibition. The Govern
ment appealed to the Supreme Court
and the cases were argued nearly
three months ago, since which they
have been under consideration by
the court.
The Supreme Courts, opinion was
unanimous except for the dissent, of
Justice Harlan, and his divergence
was confined to one point, namely,
that the ownership by the railroads
of stock in mining companies was in
violation of the law. The majority
opinion was by Justice Willie, who
delivered an oral opinion and handed
down a memorandum containing the
principal points of the conclusions
reached in the case.

MARKETINGCHICKEN FEATHERS
Dry Pick and Save the Feathers Until
You Have Enough to Sell.


Tons of feathers are probably lost
each year in small amounts because
farmers and poultrymen do not think
1t worth while to save the few Inc
plucked from birds used at home and
for local market. Another reason
probably is that the prices are
thought to be too small to make saw
ing these few feathers seem worth
while.
If a few minutes be taken when
plucking is done to separate the vari-
u grades and to practice the best
methods of curing them, there is no
reason why a nice little sum could
not be saved in each case, and the ag-
gregate make a considerable advance
in the annual returns from poultry.
Chicken and duck, as we'll as goose
feathers, are always in demand, and
should be saved, but ought to be kept
separate, and the larger feathers
placed by themselves. In no case
should chicken and turkey feathers
be scalded, because the hot water re-
moves the animal oil and reduces the
grade very greatly. Such feathers
scalded command only a fraction of
the price paid for dry picked ones.
Another good point is to keep the
white separate from the colored feath-
ers, because white stock brings a
higher price than dark. After pluck
ing, the feathers should be spread out
until the moisture is thoroughly dried
out. During this time they should
be turned daily If they are spread at
all thickly. Turkey body feathers,
while too large as they come from the
bird, are often chopped and used in
cheap pillows.
A leading dealer writes that hen
and turkey body feathers have only
saving value when dry picked, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. They
should be laid out on the floor and
forked v e daily, and should be in a
marketable condition in three days,
when they a be shipped in burlap
bags. These grades are worth in
mid-autumn between four and five
cents a pound. Chicken quilts should
be thrown away, never mixed with
softer body feathers. because they
spoil the grade. Turkey quilts should
be graded; the long tails placed in
IN box, those from the first two
joints of the wings in another, those
from the last joint in a third. The
shorter quilts and those from the
rump, ranging from five to eight
inches. placed in a burlap bag. After
a thorough airing theymay be packed
for shipment. Moisture allowed to
remain in them rots the quilts quick
ly and thus reduces the grade.
