A WINTER EGG SUPPLY.

Good Care of the Fowls is the First
Necessity.
The poultry man is anxious to get
winter eggs The price paid for eggs
In winter is enough to warrant con-
siderable time and thought upon
methods of wintering and feeding the
poultry for winter egg production.
The old way of letting the chickens
roost In the trees or on fences usual
Iy keeps healthy fowls and results In
most excellent laying in the spring
as the weather gets warmer and more
pleasant. But every farmers hens
lay at that time of year, and eggs get
very cheap. Winter eggs are profita-
BILE because of the great demand for
them during the winter season.
In spring the hens get variety Of
foods. They exercise running over
the fields, gathering variety OF
foods They are warm both day and
night. By surrounding them with ST.
milar conditions during the winter
months winter eggs may be obtained.
A warm, well-ventilated roosting
place, kept clean, is one essential.
A warm place, free from winds,
snow and rain, in which to exercise
is another. Then feed variety OF
grain in cut straw or other litter in
this warm place so the hens may work
scratching the litter apart. Oats, with
wheat thrown into the cut straw, will
give them exercise. Near noon feed
the bran mash, including table
scraps and milk and at night a full
ration of corn, If cabbage or turnips
given raw can be fed to them, they
will do even better. Green bone, meat
scraps, grit, clean water are also help
full If these conditions can be met
with in the dead of winter the hens
will do some laying, at least when
eggs are scarce and prices are high.
Good ventilation without a draft is
very important as a draft often
causes colds and roup.

BAD EGGS BARRED.

How They Spot the Careless Farm.
ers in Denmark.
Although the average person has
little chance to guard against bad
eggs in the United States, in Den
mark they apparently have solved the
bad egg problem. In that country
there are syndicates which control the
egg industry and it is their duty to
keep tab on the farmers who are in
the habit of shipping bad eggs to the
market. The headquarters of this
egg syndicate, of course, is Copenhag-
en-, and the members of it are the
farmers themselves. The members
of this egg syndicate throughout the
country are provided with rubber
stamps which bear the serial number
Of the members certificate as well as
a number for the egg. Each egg is
thus stamped with the farmers name
on it, with indelible ink. No eggs are
accepted that do not bear a stamp.
So this stamp is guarantee of quail
ity. When the eggs are examined in
Copenhagen, if they are found to be
bad the shipper receives notice and
is compelled to pay a fine averaging
about one dollar of our money. II he
makes many shipments of bad eggs
he is very quickly expelled from the
syndicate; thus all bad and not per-
fectly fresh eggs are either sold to
the village grocer or used at home
1t has been found that this system
works admirably in keeping the open
market stocked with eggs that are
1t is likewise stated by officers of the
syndicate that very few Of the mem
bers have ever been delinquent with
their fines.

CONFINEMENT is happy bird.

In place of bringing down the prize
We get the bird OF care.
To capture it directions come
In neatly printed form.
And one would think II easy were
To take the bird by storm.
Quite carefully we spread our net,
But IL is oyershy.
The best that we can do is say
Wen land II by and by.
Some tell us IL we eat and drink
The proper kind of food
That we can lay our hands upon
A member of the brood.
Some say It Is a mental trick
And we can 50 engage
Our minds that we may view 1t there
Before us in a cage.
At any rate, we find 1t is
A most elusive bird
That will not come for smiles or frowr
Or for a coaxing word.
We cannot hope to own the bird
In full and simple fee.
About the best that we can do
Is view 1t up tree.

Sloppy mashes are not good for

THE YUMA CELEBRATION

We are with the people of Yuma
in spirit, in their celebration of the
completion of the Laguna dam. Last
summer We had a similar, though
somewhat smaller, celebration on the
completion of the dam at Granite
Reef, but We withheld a part Of our
enthusiasm against the finishing of
the gigantic project at Roosevelt, a
year or two hence.
The Laguna dam is great thing
for Yuma, which for three years has
thriven in anticipation of the event
whose end was celebrated yesterday.
The Yuma of today is not the
Yuma Of the old-timers, nor is it the
Yuma OF the next decade.
The delta of the Nile has for ages
been regarded as the most fertile land
in all the world. But formed in the
same manner as the valley of the Col
orado, about and below Yuma, it is
no richer, and now that water is to
be applied to that marvellous country,
whose fertility has long since been
proved on a small scale, we believe a
great agriculture empire has now
been established.
The seat of that imperial domain is
Yuma, which must in a few years
rank with the best towns of the
southwest.

WHEREFORE, THE CALAMITIEs.


A dispatch from Yuma couples with
the story Of the defeat of the local
team by the White Sox, the statement
that il was a very windy day, prob
ably intended TO be explanatory Of
the disaster, for the White Sox, being
from the Windy City. ought to be at
their best in the midst of an ele-
mental disturbance
The story of the calamity at Tue
son, whose pride was defeated by a
score of II or III to 4, has also an
explanatory statement. The Chica-
goans had loaned the Antique Pueb-
loans five players, for we suppose, no
other purpose, than to throw them
down.
This was an act of duplicity which
has but one counterpart in all history
when the Greeks fed a wooden
horse a bellyful of fighting men to be
smuggled inside the walls of Troy.
Thus aided by the elements and
fraud, the White Sox have maintained
an unbroken career of conquest across
Arizona. If it had been a still day at
Yuma, or if the Tucsonites had relied
upon themselves, the tale would
probably have been very different
Wen lay for those White Sox next
year Maybe a day will come when
there will be no wind, and anyway
they cannot work that Tucson game
