FARM NOTES.

Dampness In the poultry house must
not be allowed. Remember also that
fresh air is a tonic. and that poultry
of all kinds will do much letter IL
thelr roostlng quarters are we'll ven
tilstod
Green bone and scraps Of waste can
often be bought at the butcher shop
at a reasonable price, and this makes
an excellent feed for poultry II given
to them while fresh Never feed de-
cayed meat.
When the ground is frozen and
snow covered where do your biddies
procure their grit, or teeth, unless you
have thoughtfully provided It? Some
farms are all picked over, and there
is no grit to be found there, even In
summer.
1t is mistake to try to keep too
many hens for the room you have.
Better drop off lot of them and give
the rest chance. You will do BET
ter, and so will the hens.
In building the house do not have
the roosts too high. IA foot or two
is high enough There IL danger OF
fowls injuring themselves flying down
from a high roost, especially the hoav-
Ter birds.
Old hens commence laying late and
leave off early. Old heEs, unless they
are very valuable as breeders. are
seldom profitable to keep, considering
their record throughout the entire
year.
II the hen will not pay for her
board In eggs, she should be made
to yield a profit by being slaughtered
and her carcass sold No poultryman
should keep drones; he cannot afford
It.
Experiments have proved that hen
In good condition will eat. on an aver
age, three ounces of mash in tho
morning. two ounces of grain at noou,
and four ounces of grain at night.
People who have had the expert
ence know II to be a positive fact
that frosting the toes. combs OF wat
ties of hen will put stop to egg
production.
There is knack In feeding hens that
must be learned by experience. Tho
hens should be well fed and yet al
ways a little hungry.
Keep a box OF grit and a box OF
charcoal handy for chicks and grown
fowls. They will eat as needed aud
require both.
II is said that the only poor results
from feeding skim milk or buttermilk,
either sweet or sour, Is on account OF
not feeding from clean troughs.-

Willing to Pay Penalty

W az dY
What happened during the last few
days every one knows. I am now here
in the city prison. My wife and what
few friends I have are endeavoring to
raise bail money to secure my release.
I am charged with grand larceny and 1
am willing to pay the penalty. In a
way, am glad that 1t is not petty lar
ceny. I guess the petty offense would
have been beneath my dignity" he
added, with a grim smile.
Have you been promised immunity
or leniency of any kind?" HamlIn was
asked.
Il have been promised nothing. 1
know fully what have done, and am
willing to abide by the consequences,
whatever they may be. Yet, even
though a man is on this side of the
bars, he still can hope for the best. 1

Work of Those Who Conducted

Result of the Contest Brings the

Public Favor
By K. K. FHommedieu

Nothing has caused so much comment
in a long time as the hill climb Sun
day. Outside of the "a hour race held
association nothing has equaled the
success of the recent contest of the
San Francisco motor club. Too much
credit can not be given the officials
who handled the event. 1t was con-
Quoted with a speed and impartiality
that brought the club into public ia
vor in one bound.
Heretofore events have been man
aged in such a way that the officials
had trying experiences at times Sunday,
but they proved that they were equal
to the occasion, which has resulted in
the club being given the honor OF hold
ing one of the most enjoyable affairs
ever held on the coast. Fernando Mel
son as referee proved the fallacy OF
the statement that the Office OF referee
is merely perfunctory and of an honor
ary nature. He was one of the busiest
officials of the day. and in the debate
over the protest, proved as chairman,
his worth as the head of the organiza-
tion. The brunt of the work was on

who competed realized that they had to
compete as they were ordered. The
rapidity with which the different events
were conducted showed the ability of
William r. Johnston, the starter. He
with A. d. Plugoff and Robert Vein
stock as assistants, kept the cars go
Ing up the hill in a continuous string
for two hours. There were no long
and tedious waits, and the interest of
the spectators was kept up to a con-
cert pitch.
There were many others who gave
assistance, although not listed officials
Among these was F. P. Herrguth who
built the timing apparatus from the
