for the loss OF life and injury to Ameri-
cans Of Douglas, Ariz.. during the fight
ing between federals and insurrectos at

such contention is argued from the fact

WINTER EGGS FROM HENS
Farmer WiIe's Method Of Getting
Plenty Of Them In the Season
Of Cold Weather.

F. G. Vile, Montgomery county,
Pennsylvania, poultryman, lecturing
on the timely subject of how to keep
hens laying from the first of October
until the last Of February, said:
Il am obtaining eggs from hens at
this season of the year at a cost of
only one cent per egg. For many per-
sons the cost is five cents to produce
an egg in December.
Now the secret lies in how to pro-
duce the greatest number of eggs from
the same number of hens. To obtain
that end proper breeding. feeding,
housing and care are essential. The
ration ] feed my laying hens and
which costs me only five cents daily
for IL chickens, is chosen because Of
its ready assimilation, and consists of
sprouted oats, beef scraps, cross-cut
bones and variety Of wheat, barley,
corn and little buckwheat.
81 am very careful to keep the chick
en- house well ventilated and the floors
Uttered with clean straw or leaves.

My first question after the usual po-
lite greetings was:

"Yes, and no." was the answer.
"Arthur's caves-there are several of
them, really-extend for miles under
the cliffs. Some of them can only be
entered at low tide, but 1t so happens
that there Is an entrance to one of
them from under our own kitchen
floor by means Of a trap door, I've
never been down. but know It's
there. because grandfather often used
to take lantern and disappear for
hours at time. But why"
Again gave query for query
Would you trust me to 60 down

"Oh. you mustn't think OF that-go-
ing alone, mean! People have been
lost and starved to death down there
in former days. There was lovely
concern in her voice which brought an
altogether adorable color to the girls
cheeks. Then suddenly she ex-
claimed:
You're keeping something from
me, Mr.. Keppel! What is 1t? Have
you discovered grandfather's secret?"
Seeing no other way out Of 1t told
her the truth and read the parrots
message as had deciphered 1t. She
listened with bated breath and palpi-
tating bosom.
But we mustn't be too sure," con.

"Ah. but you didn't know poor old
