Everybody has the chicken fever and
| will attempt to increase the tempera-
ture few degrees. "What is the best
feed ?" Well, let me say right here,
that the standards Of rations set up in
manypoultry journals and poultry books
known as the narrow ration, are very
expensive when you add to the cost OF
the great number of eggs one never gets
by using these balanced rations. The
most deadening winter feed | know of
is one compounded largely Of the protein
element. have often wondered wheth-
er the men who condemn corn as food
for laying hens ever owned a. chicken.
These people forget in their theorizing,
that energy is worth more in laying
hen than anything else, and energy
comes from the carbonaceous foods.
Did you ever stop to think why hens lay
better just as winter breaks up than at
any other time of the year 1t is the
excess Of carbon in the system that en-
ables them to grow eggs at that time.
This heat also stimulates the sexual
system. This idea that the hen needs
a big lot of protein to form eggs is all
nonsense. Analyze the droppings, and
you feed it strongly. There is no other
all-around food as good as corn. When
ever you reduce the amount of corn fed, ,
and substitute something more album
inous, the hens reduce the number of
eggs. have known people who fed
nothing but corn to 60 far ahead OF
narrow ration fellows in egg production.
The reason for this is that corn produces
heat, and all heat producers arouse
the sexual nature, and this is what we
should aim to do. Do not be afraid of
corn, but do not use it exclusively no
grain is a proper exclusive food.

STATE protection may be withdrawn
from the Turkey buzzard. Under the
new game laws, drafted by State Game
Commissioner Kalbfus and approved by
the legislative committee of the State
Sportmen's Association, the protection
given for years to the eagle, the osprey
or fish hawk and the great blue heron
has been taken away, it being consider
ed that such birds are not beneficial and
entitled to the protection of the law.
The removal of the bar to killing of the
slow-sailing scavengers of the fields and
woods is urged and the committee on
game will be asked to put it on the pro-
scribed list. The reason for this move
ment is said to be the statement of the
State veterinary authorities, who have
been fighting foot and mouth disease
among cattle, that the buzzard is con-
sumner of carrion and that by eating re-
mains of a cow which may have been
infected with the cattle plague may
spread it. Some of the country MEM
bers who consider the buzzard a bene-
factor will oppose this action and the
buzzard lmay be the cause of row
among members of the lawmaking body.

THE INAUGURATION.
Great Disappointment on Account
OF UnfavorabIe Change of Plans
-Parade Greatly CuTtsiled.

The apprehensions felt in Honesdale
yesterday morning, when the heavy snow
storm set in, that the blizzard might ex-
tend to Washington and seriously inter-
fere with the elaborate arrangements
made for the Inauguration of President
Taft, were more than realized. Ateleven
o'clock, through the courtesy and kind
ness of A. j. Coleman & Co., stock
brokers, with Office at the Allen House,
THE CITIZEN received the following dis
patch from the National Capital received
by wireless at Philadelphia:
1.-THE blizzard is raging here this morn
ing. Washington and Baltimore wires
are down. The Inauguration parade
will be largely curtailed, and the inaug-
uration ceremonies will take place in
the Senate Chamber, and not at the east
front of the Capitol, as is customary,
and for which elaborate preparation was
made"
The weather conditions at Washington
this year were unfavorable beyond prece-
dent on any similar occasion. On We'd
nesday the streets were filled with a
surging, jostling crowd, the visitors at
that time being estimated at 100000,
with the hotels jammed to their capacity,
and the streets thronged, while bands
we're playing and thousands marching
in a drenching downpour of rain. 1t was
almost impossible to make much head
way along Pennsylvania Avenue in the
evening, owing to the tremendous
throngs, and automobiles were renting
at $l2 an hour. Notwithstanding the
fact that everybody, so to speak, was
soaking wet, everybody was happy in
anticipation of more pleasant weather
on the morrow, and an opportunity to
witness a pageant SURPRISING anything
ever heretofore seen in this country on a
similar occasion.
The thousands who found themselves
80 grievously disappointed yesterday
morning, and especially the Honesdale
contingent in the military display, have
the sincere sympathy and commisera
ton of THE CITIZEN. There is one great
comfort, after all, with which we may
console ourselves: no matter what the
weather, another Republican president
was inaugurated, and his first message
which will be found elsewhere in thit
paper, affords the best of evidence thai
for four years to come, at least, there
will be no diminution in the sunshine O.

A BILL has been presented in the
House by Mr.. Dunsmore, of Tioga, re-
quiring State inspectors approval of
premises used for moving picture shows,
and precautions against fire in third
class cities, boroughs and townships,
and vesting jurisdiction over fire escapes
in the department. The bill covers
buildings used for public purposes in all
parts of the State except first and second
class cities, and requires fire escapes,
doors opening outward and landings
four feet in length. Regulations are
made prohibiting use of oil as an illu-
minant, requiring non-combustible cur
tains and standpipes. This bill is de-
signed to prevent repetition of the
Boyertown horror.

Work on Hospital Progressing
Proposed New Road Over the
Mountain.

The work on the proposed hospital for
criminal insane at Farview is progress
sing most satisfactorily and, il thepresent
mild weather continues for two weeks
longer, everything will be in readiness to
begin the laying of the concrete.
On Tuesday evening, the I'd inst, a
meeting of the tax payers and citizens
of Canaan township, was held in the
Canaan Corners Hotel, for the purpose
of discussing the subject of building a
new macadamized or tilford road from
a point near the line dividing the bor-
ough of Waymart from the township of
Canaan west, on the Honesdale road,
and extend straight across the mountain
due west, to point north of old No. 7
on the D. & H. Gravity and to join with
a similar road on the line dividing Wayne
and Lackawanna counties, and which
shall extend to Fell township, Lacka-
wanna county, to the d. & H. r. r.,
crossing at Whites flag station. The
advisability and desirability of construct
ing such road is so apparent that
nothing can be said against it. AS is
known, the State furnishes six-eighths
Of the money when such roads are con-
structed under the auspices of the state
law governing public highways. A pc
tition, numerously signed by the tax
payers of Fell township, through which
the road will extend in Lackawanna
county, has been prepared and is ready
for presentation to the courts of that
county, asking for board of viewers to
be appointed, whose duty it will be to
lay out definite and exact route for
the construction of that road. This can
not be done, however, until similar pro-
ceedings are instituted in Wayne coun-
ty, hence at an early date petition will
be presented to the court of Wayne coun-
ty, asking for board of viewers to de-
fine proper lines for the building of the
road in this county.
