BETTER HENS AND MORE EGGS.

Our Chehalis friend, L. K. Cogswell,
writes as follows in the Bee-Nugget:
People seldom realize the impor-
lance of the egg and poultry industry.
Accurate statistics prove that each
year the hen produces more wealth
in the world than all the gold mined.
A few people in orr section of the
state can make good money raising
turkeys, ducks and geese; others can
make a fair profit raising chickens, If
they grow their own feed, but the best
part of the business and the n more
people can engage in is producing
market eggs.
Late in March, 1908, we started into
the poultry business in a very small
way on three city lots, with nineteen
hens and one rooster. We traded for
a couple of old incubators, bought a
few more hens and a few eggs, an old
bone mill and shell grinder, tore down
an old barn, and from part of the lum-
Der made some continuous hen houses.
Our first chickens Matched April II.
The roosters were on the hotel tables
July 4, and the pullets laying early in
the fall. Well-bred chickens mature
early, and we'll cared for are the only
ones that pay.
The hen that lays is the hen that
pays. There are a dozen frst-class
laying breeds of hens, and people
will succeed best with the sort they
like best, if fitted to their conditions
and properly cared for. We are try
ing the Single Comb Rhode Island
Reds for winter layers, and Single
Comb White Leghorns and B. B.
Plymouth Rocks for summer layers,
and a few scrubs Il think to look at,
for they don't pay for their feed).
Every old hen and scrub will have to
go to pot before the fall moult be-
gins. The others are all making good
and promising better. During the
cold, stormy month of January our
hens laid 1912 eggs; in the short,
stormy month of February, $500, and
in the first nine days of March, 131
dozen eggs, and we have 81 dozen OF
hand for market and for setting. Our
hens have now passed the 200 eggs
a day mark. Our eggs for table use
and the pure bred eggs for %incubators
are quick sellers for ready cash right
1T or near home. There are hundreds
of families in Lewis County that could
and should do better than we do. The
markets are greedy for all we a pos
sibly produce.

PURCHASED o

Where poultrymen have large f1ocks
it becomes necessary for them to pur-
chase a large amount of the food for
their stock. This is more or less ex-
pensive, and all poultry raisers want
to get the best and most for their
money. Nowadays the agricultural
experiment stations are publishing
reports of all such manufactured ar
ticles, showing what percentage of
the ingredients they contain. In fer
tilizers the most important factor is
nitrogen, better known to the farm
er as a constituent of ammonia. 1t
is also the most important factor in
stock and poultry food, entering large
ly into what is known as protein"
and it is in this form that the nitro
genous elements of the poultry foods
are guaranteed. A food containing 16
per cent of protein will be valued at
twice the amount of that containing
8 per cent, although the latter may
contain more to the pound and also
be composed of more fatty materials.
The foods should be judged according
to the protein they contain to the
pound, and not according to the other
elements. Meat, dried blood, linseed
meal, bran, gluten meal and cotton
seed are all rich in protein, and for
this very aso these foods are man.
ufactured into poultry foods. The best
foods for fowls that are laying are the
animal foods. These always contain

SCALY LEGS.

This disease is the most common
of all poultry ailments and is caused
by a very minute parasite under scales
on the legs. While it does not mate
rally damage the fowl except in ap-
pearance, if allowed to remain the
scale will in time become so thick
it is difficult for the fowl to walk. In
it's first stages it al be easily cured
by bathing the legs two or three times
in warm soap suds, and then dipping
the feet and shanks in kerosene. In
more aggravated cases apply either
of the following remedies two or three
times a week until cured: Equal parts
of lard, kerosene and enough flour of
sulphur to make paste, rub it on
thoroughly so as to work it under the
scales. Another good remedy is equal
parts of lard and mercurial ointment
applied in the same manner.-Poultry

the exact elements required to form
flesh and eggs at the same time. They
are, of course, the most expensive, but
in the end they are productive of
better results than cheaper foods.
Another point in their favor is that
a little goes a great ways, and the
fowls are easily satisfied when fed
animal matter in any form. Try the
experiment of feeding the different
foods which you think are the best
today, and by feeding a month with
each, at the end of the year you will
agree with all others who are feeding
properly, that the foods containing
protein are the ones to decide upon
for your flock.

Abraham Lincoln. the great
emancipation, in discussing trade
conditions, said: when we
buy at home, we have both the
money and the goods; when we
buy abroad, we have the goods
but we no longer have the
money. This truth applies as
well to trade in a small city as it
does to the conditions which
Lincoln referred to. Every dol
lar sent out of Sauk Centre for
goods takes just so much money
out of town; while the money
that is used in paying for goods
bought here is put in circulation
at home. Did you ever think OF
that? Let your home dealer
figure on an order for goods; he
will give you just as good a
price as you can get outside, and
the money you pay him will be
kept right here at home. That's
good logic, is it not?

The esteemed St. Cloud Times
(dem.), commends the esteemed
Mesaba Ore (rep.), because it
declined to issue President Taft's
Winona speech in supplement
form (tendered free of charge)
on the ground that "the less said
about that speech the better;
and in the same paragraph criti-
cises it's esteemed contemporary
the St. Cloud Journal-Press
(rep.) because it did accept and
distribute the speech in supple
ment form. Laying aside all
political bias, The Herald be-
lieves it was an excellent idea to
publish this speech, from a news
standpoint, merely. Let the
people read and decide for them
selves what they want. Had
The Herald been given the op-
portunity to circulate President
Taft's Winona speech it would
gladly have done SO, but it did
not have the chance.

Great Quantities Of Leather Now Tan.
ned for the Trade Of TaiIors.
The tanning Of fur skins for gar
ments is now extensively carried on
in Lynn, Peabody and Salem and in
other leather centers. Peabody firms
are making considerable quantities Of
leather for garments.
One sheepskin tanner of Peabody
says that the purchase of leather by
tailors is now surprisingly large.
Sheep and goat are the skins chiefly
tanned in the North Shore district.
According to the Shoe and Leather
Paper, the sheepskins are made into
fine silky white or colored fur skins
for baby robes and rugs, and also for
muffs, collar pieces, and even whole
coats for children. Another grade is
tanned with the wool on, for coats for
motormen, expressmen, milkmen and
others who are out of doors in cold
weather.
Much chamois leather is sold for
vests and for Innings of garments.
Chamois skins, by the way, are also
made in Peabody for gloves. Goat
skins are tanned with the hair on in
imitation of bear skins.

Peary may possibly be be able
to discredit Cook with some peo-
pie, but if he keeps up his at
tack on the doctor his efforts
will be likely to cause a whole

Peary himself is taking with

covery. 1t would be interesting
to know who furnished the due
ats to supply every daily news
paper in the country with cuts
of that map which pretended to
show that Cook never reached

The U. S. government started
out to stop the sale of liquor to
Indians on the Minnesota reser-
vations and has done it. At
Mahomen the federal officers
who went after the booze joints
were arrested and jailed. The
federal courts freed them, which
shows what folly it is to buck
against your Uncle Samuel.
Probably every liquor dealer on
the reservations has violated
the law which prohibits the sale
to the redskins. Now they must
go out of business. The way OF

DEATH Is PAINLESS.

II Comes as Naturally and Is as Wei.
come IS Sleep.
The fear of death, which has been
so enormously exploited in dramatic
literature, sacred and otherwise, Is
said to be almost without existence
in sickness. Most patients have lost
it completely b. the time they become
seriously ill.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson
in the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap.
proach. 1t Is one of the most merci-
fu! things in nature that the over
whe!ming majority of the poisons
which destroy life. whether they are
those OF infectious diseases or those
which are elaborated from the bodys
own waste products, act as narcotics
and abolish conscio lsness long before
the end comes.
While death Is not in any sense
analogous to sleep, it resembles it
to the extent that it Is in the vast
majority of instances not only not
painful but welcome. Pain racked
and fever scorched patients long for
death as the wearied toiler longs for
sleep.
While many of the processes which
lead to death are painful death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading
of a flower or the falling of leaf.
Our dear ones drift out on the ebbing
tide of life without fear, without pain,
without regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes close
enough so that we can see the eyes
behind the SIX his face becomes IS
welcome as that of his twin brother"
