Deserts Pony For Motor.

Chief White Eagle. of the Stand
ing Rock reservation in North Da-
kota, has deserted his pony for an au-
.tomobile. In February White Eagle
sold two large silver treaty medals
presented to his forefathers by Gem
eral Jackson. He had an idea that
an automobile would just about suit
him, so he invested his money in a
car.
According to reports from the res
ervation White Eagle is having all
kinds of fun dashing across the
prairie with the tonneau filed with
companions who constantly indulge
in the warwhoop. There is no traffic
to bother the chief, and the absence
of speed laws in his vicinity makes
racing speed possible. Los Angeles

NOTES.

Fill up or drain every puddle In
and around the poultry yards, or you
may lose some Of your best birds
should they drink Of this polluted
water.
April is good month to hatch
goose eggs. 1t is also an excellent
4 time for getting out ducklings. Stock
matched then will be best for next
years breeding.
Does the old hen lay? Try this IL
she does not. Feed her an the chop
ped clover she will eat with an ounce
Of lean meat every day. If there is
any lay in her that will bring it out.
4 Don't be in a hurry to remove the
hen and her brood from the nest.
The tender little chicks need warmth
more than they do feed for the first
twenty-four hours.
Keep an eye out for rats. Entire
matches can be destroyed in a single
night by these pests. Don't allow
lumber, logs, brush, and the like to
accumulate around your chick yard,
as all these afford rats good hiding
place.
Strictly fresh, flrst-class eggs, as
sorted as to size and color, always
command better price in the market
than a promiscuous lot of eggs of all
sizes. tints and degrees Of freshness.
Market only the choicest eggs and use
the others at home.
A deformed chick is not worth
bothering with and should be put out
of the way at once, unless from an
expensive setting Of eggs, and even
then it will prove q waste of time and
feed to try to raise 1t If the deformity
is something that promises to be per-
manent.

VIII Fade From Human
Mind. But Oil Ma mates Never:

- .srf
Palo Alto, Cal In President David
Starr Jordan's address to the gradu-
ating class at Stanford University, the
subject Of which was The Wealth Of
Nations, reference was made to the
lives Of T.. H. Hartman and other
great financiers in drawing the lesson
that mans success in life is not meas
ured by what he does for himself, but
rather by what he does for humanity.
In those matters in which the
permanent wealth Of nations is con-
cerned, in the long future of mental
and spiritual development, the name
of Hartman, said Dir. Jordan, finds
no place. The name Of Newcomb in
the same connection will stand In
larger letters among those who by
life and influence have made this
world a broader and better one.
Continuing, he said: "The name OF
Rockefeller will not suggest Standard
OIL or the association of monopolies.
The Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research represents one of the wisest
and most far-reaching uses to which
any mans money can ever be put.

cents per dozen. During much of the
winter they were selling at 40 cents
or higher. These prices almost pro-
hibited the use Of eggs as an article
of food, and caused many customers
to Jump at the conclusion that there
was easy money in egg production.
Careful inquiry among number Of
farmers would seem to indicate that
not to exceed per cent. Of the hens
