Poultry Notes.

AS a rule old hens are to be pre-
ferred as sitters.
For fattenine fowls cooked food
is better than raw.
Feed in a cleanly way with a |
good variety of foods.
Ducks require some animal food
as they will not lay well.
AS rule in incubators, chickens
have no vermin and this is quite
an advantage.
Eggs keep sweet and nice and
are much larger if the roosters are
kept and this is often quite an ad-
vantage.
The constant handling of eggs in
an incubator sometimes causes a
failure to hatch if the hands are
greasy.
Use no, eggs for Matching pur-
poses that are not of good shape, of
average size and as fresh as posi-
BILE
One objection to guineas is that
they are apt to domin ate over the
other fowls.
In feeding poultry, food may be
wasted by giving too much as well
as too little.
One variety can be bred pure
with less expense and care on the
same premises.
During the winter try feeding
steamed clover hay with coarse
oats and bran mixed with it.
One item in fattening fowls
economically, is to supply the food
in a way that it is easily digested.
Bone dust for mixing in poultry
food should be on an average of
about the firmness of oatmeal.
! With turkeys as a rule broad
backed. full breasted and large bon
, ed breeding birds should be used.
Geese, besides yielding a regular
income in the way of feathers, are
: one of the most profitable fowls
for the market.
Wheat bran is is one of the
: very best foods for the production
of bone and muscle. In feeding to
poultry, however, it shonld always
) be scalded before feeding.
Fattenine fowls should have corn
meal, hard wheat and like foods
Ten days is long enough to fatter
fowls if kept in confinement and
properly fed and cared for.
E When poultry have been for q

THE CAPE FAIR
GRANDEST EVER
Abbreviated Session At
tracts Large Crowds
RACES OF A HIGH ORDER
Live Stock Exhibit Brought Out
COunty's Best-Prizes Were
Properly Awarded

After three days of incessant
rain. Old Sol broke through the
mist and threw his rays upon
Mother earth, drying her up
sufficiently to allow the last two
days of the Cape Girardeau
county fair to be held. And to say
that the abbreviated session was
a success is placing it lightly.
Everyone we have heard speak
of it is unanimous in the opin-
ion that it was the best fair ever
held in this county. The races
were far superior to anything
heretofore. the live stock exhibit
was excellent. and the various
other forms of amusement would
not permit an idle moment. The
management is to be congratu-
lated on the excellence of this
years fair which would no doubt
been better but for the rain dur
ing the week.

the court room of the new Cape
Federal building Monday morn
ing to assist in the dedication of
that handsome structure COM
pleted in the early spring of
this year at a cost of about $780,
600.
The Normal band enlivened
things by rendering several very
choice selections before the reg
ular program began at 10 a. m.
Hon. w. Fl. Miller stated the
object of the meeting in charac-
teristic pleasant manner.
|. r. Kelso welcomed the Wis
itors on behalf of the local bar
and threw open their offices for
their conveniences.
Hon. 7. d. Hines of Jackson
was then introduced and spoke
in behalf of the county bar, ex-
tending a cordial welcome to the
visiting disciples of Blackstone.
He also related a bit of history
relative to a bill introduced by
Londes H. Davis. then repre-
senting this district, which pro-
vided for the establishment of a
branch of the Federal Court at
Jackson. The proposition was
never pushed and it remained
for Cape Girardeau to later EN-
brace it. Mr.. Hines also said
that a prejudice existed among
some classes against Federal
Courts, which he stated was due
to misunderstanding, rather than
i'll will.
Hon. C. B. Faris of Caruthers-
vile was spokesman for the
Twenty-Eighth Judicial Circuit.
He paid high tribute to iurists
who presided over the district
during its early days.
United States Attorney Chas.
A. Houts then made a COMPARE
son of the courts of today with
those existing in the old english
days when it meant no more than
a common or yard where the
belligerents settled their dis
putes. Justice in those days was
not an essential and court houses
were not needed said Mr.. Houts.
In response Judge J. P. Dyer
spoke of the old iurists of this
country, especially of the Su-
preme Court, and read some
of their opinions on the Consti-
tuition.
The court room was thrown
open to the public for inspection
between the hours of 7 and 8
