Colony system for Fons.

A typical colony system is in use
upon the Tilltngast plant in Connect
cut. Those houses are fitted with feed
hoppers and filled once a week. They
are cleaned on the average onl" once
a year. The labor cost is reduced to
the minimum, and eggs can be pro
duced upon this plant at cost of
seven to nine cents a dozen. Upon
the intensive egg farm, where all
feeds are supplied and the birds are
confined the cost of egg production
runs from II to 16 cents dozen,
while on the ordinary farm, where
the chickens pick up large amount
Ct their food, the eggs can be pro-
drced for four to six cents a dozen.
The intensive plant always has to
meet this competition, and can only
succeed where they have a special
market. Any farmer can greatly in
crease his production by the use of
few co!ony houses with scarcely any
tncreage of labor cost, and the use
OF an incubator or two and a few
breeders will prove highly profitable.

CALAIS AND ITS LIGHTHOUSE

Calais is rather an untidy place for
French town. The Place d'Armes,
where the tower of the Hotel de Vile
has remained since the fifteenth cen
fury, is the center spot. Here Calais
meets it's friends and has its cafe noir.
In the square, towering out of the
roofs of surrounding houses and
dwarfing them, is the old watch tower.
Since 184S it has been superseded as
lighthouse by the magnificent one
at present in use. Never shall / for
get the effect of this lighthouse as |
stood under 1t that night. The revolv-
ing spokes of light cast away into
filmy space in all directions looked
like the ribs of huge umbrella being

INSTEAD OF BULLETS Of STEEL
Who Killed Wealthy Col. Swope?l
And Who Sought His Millions
by Trying to Wipe Out Whole
Family at Kansas City, Mo-?

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 26.-
When a poisoner set out to kill
Col. Thos. H. Swope, millionaire
land owner, and members of his
family, he used more cunning than
the Borgias of old were credited
with. Instead of giving Col.
Swope some quick poison, he was
inoculated with the germs of
typhoid fever, and then died in
commissions.
Later Chrisman Swope, a
nephew, died in commissions, after
having taken a capsule. Hardly
was this funeral over than Mrs.
Logan Swope was taken i'll of
typhoid early in December. Then
followed the illness of Margaret
Swope, Miss Dixon, the Swope fam
lily governess; a negro servant;
Miss Compton, the seamstress;
Stuart Fleming; Sarah Swope,
aged ID; Stella Swope, and Lucy
Lee.
In fact the only member of the
Swope family not taken i'll seems
to be Mrs. B. Clark Hyde, a daugh-
ter of the dead millionaire. Her
husband, DR.. Hyde, was physician
to the Swope family until shortly
after the death of Chrisman
Swope, when he withdrew.
