Fresh Air For New Workers.

New York is getting the fresh air
bug, according to the hotel keepers,
who have been called upon by many
to supply tents On the roofs of the no
tells. David H. Knott, proprietor of
the Hotel Earle, in Waverly place,
said:
I'VE are preparing for an innova-
ton, as far as New York is concerned,
by placing tents on the roof for
sleeping purposes during the spring,
summer and autumn. We will begin
with few tents, which have already
been rented by young men for the en-
tire season.
They will have electric lights and
dressing tables, with all the comforts
possible for a shelter OF that sort. 1t
is more or less of an experiment. but
do not see why it should not be a
success. Persons demand fresh air in
this day and age and are becoming
stronger by getting it.'-Galveston

TO RE MOVE
THE OLD MEN
SOMEONE WANTS YOUNG MEN TO
TAKE SEWER PROJECT.

Proposed to Discharge Present Execu-
tive Committee Is Rejected-or-
ganized Effort to Secure Finds for
Sewerage System Undertaken.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1909-05-26

what can be accomplished towards
raising the sewer fund was made by
Mr.. Cobolini but met with objections
on the part of several.
Col Lott stated that it was a bad
thing to swap horses while crossing a
stream He did not like to see men
who had never attended the meetings
or displayed any enthusiasm send an
other man to say, if the old men would
get out of the way, they would step
in and take charge. If there was any
dead timber on any of the commit
tees. it should be removed at once.
He thought the move for new COM
mittee a scheme to disorganize the
whole project, that the sewer project
was open for all citizens.
Mr.. Cobolini then withdrew his mo-
ton
B. G. Stegman moved that COM
mittee of five be appointed to secure
the necessary funds for the sewers,
the motion being seconded by Dr.
Loew However when the chairman
called for volunteers for this COM
mittee only two offered their serv-
ices-L Cobolini and B. G.. Stegman
after which this motion was also
Withdrawn.
E. A. McGary stated that, while his
name had been suggested as one of
a new committee he had known moth
ing of the move to bring about the
removal of the old committee and
added that he stood ready to offer
his services in any way that would
assist the movement. Col. Lott
moved that the present sub-commit-
tees be retained and be sent out to
work, with authority to add any man
to their number who expresses a will
lingness to work. The motion was
seconded by Secretary R. N. Magill,
who suggested that Thursday, Friday
and Saturday be selected as sewer
days and that every citizen of Browns
vile be notified to expect a member of
one of the subcommittee to call
upon him on one of these days. This
motion was carried, and the meeting
adjourned subject to call by the
chairman.

SEARCHING FOR THE REASON.

Oregon hens are so lazy that they
supply less than one-fifth of the eggs
consumed in Portland, and dealers are
looking to the fowls of Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa and Minnesota for supply.
That city is sending to those states
$4,000 a day for hen fruit, the importa-
tions being carload and half day.
That would be a pile of money for
Oregon farmers to put in their pockets
The indifference of the hens to the
food needs of Oregon people is more
conspicuous this year than ever before.
Authorities agree that there is a blame
somewhere, but not all agree on the
proper place to find it. Some believe
it is unfavorable climatic conditions,
but as the weather of the last six
months has been sunny and dry, the
cause of the egg shortage is probably
elsewhere. j. w. Bailey, Food and
Dairy Commissioner, says that the
cause is the lack of care bestowed by
farmers on their chickens.
A Colorado bulletin says that State
pays annually to states East 49,
100000 for poultry and poultry
products, while the average net
yearly profit per hen, in Colorado, when
handled by an expert, is $2-double
that of states East The average Colo
RADIO farmer loses money raising poul-
try. He does not know how.
To ascertain the actual conditions as
to the care and feeding of poultry a
circular has been sent out by Professor

THREE DOLLARS PER HEN.

At the poultry institute held by the
Colorado Agricultural College In
Greeley, Professor W. G. Chambers
exhibited Rhode Island Red hen that
had laid 200 eggs in one year.
Professor Chambers keeps from
forty to fifty hens on town lot, and
has to buy all his feed. He keeps an
accurate account of all expenses, and
last year for feed, louise killer, straw
and all incidentals, the cost was 81
per hen.
He uses trap nests and keeps no hen
that lays less than 100 eggs in twelve
months. The average for this entire
flock is little over twelve dozen eggs
hen per annum.
The average price in the open mar.
ket for the year for eggs has been 25
cents a dozen. This makes at market
price an income of three dollars hen
for the year-two dollars a hen more
than the cost of feed, where all feed
has to be purchased.
Professor Chambers ascribes his
success to intelligent feeding, good
care and trap-nesting.
His hens are given dry feed en-
tirely. He gives a light feed or
whole wheat and corn three times
day, scattering the grain in the litter.
He keeps before his hens all the
time in self-feeding hoppers a dry
mash made of the following ingred1-
ents, with little salt and cayenne
pepper, thoroughly mixed in these
proportions by weight: Bran, q;
alfalfa meal, l.; corn meal, shorts and
linseed meal, each,1; meat, bone and
blood, 1.
