Eggs Is Eggs.

The time of egg storage is with us.
Feeding for eggs is on the program
and still the eggs come very slowly.
Perhaps it has been an unusual sea
son, but that's no reason; all that
can remember have been, and l never
expect to see any other kind. Let's
forget winter eggs and diseases and
balanced rations and storage eggs and
trusts for while, and consider just
health-hen health. Health goes
with clean body, within as well as
without: to have the hens body clean
outside means a clean house; clean
floor, clean litter Tor the stormy
weather and for these cold, frosty
mornings; clean roosts; of course
there are no mites, but give roosts
and nests a good soaking just be-
cause. Your hens have no lice, but
il is a safe bet that an ailing fowl
has had its vitality sapped by lice and
mites; give her a dose OF powder,
gunpowdcr il she is very sick. other
wise lice powder.
Now. for the inside; teaspoonful
of EPSON salts for each hall, dozen
fowls about once in two weeks, IN a
warm mash; for the daily noon mash,
cooked vegetables, the greater the va
riety you can furnish the better, and
! with these thoroughly mix bran, hne
corn chop, little oil meal. and season
with salt. Use the proportions you
find they like and don't give more
than they will eat in hurry. 10
make them jump for this feed only a
little small grain in the morning and
with this grain plenty of exercise;
the forenoon should be spent in the
gymnasium. At night cram them so

eyator to lift them UP to the roosts..
Don't crowd; allow plenty of resh

HAS LEG BROKEN
PIucky Valley Farmer crawIs Forty
Yards on Back to Give Alarm

J. p. Stevenson. the well-known ranch
er south of town, met with nasty acci-
dent on Sunday morning which will lay
him up for some time. He had gone to
his barn to feed the stock and unthink-
ingly entered the stable behind the horses
without making noise. and so startled
one that he kicked out at the object
behind.
When Mr.. Stevenson came to"he found
that one of his legs was out of commission.
As he was all alone about the place he
knew it was up to him to reach the house
about 40 yards away and give the alarm.
so he "hitched" himself along the entire
distance upon his back and in some
manner reached the telephone and in
formed his neighbors of his sad plight.
DR.. Maier was summoned and reduced
the fracture-which he found to be of a
compound nature-and at last accounts
the injured man was "resting easy.

Farm House Burned

Until this week J. W. Bennett has had
two houses on his farm in Holbrook. one
of them occupied by the Bennett family
and the other until quite recently by a
tenant. But some time Monday night the
vacant house went up in smoke, through
the carless handling of fire by tramp,
it is supposed.
The first intimation Mr.. Benpett had of
the fire was during Tuesday forenoon,
when he happened to glance toward
where the house should be-and twasn't
there. When he got to the site of the
house only a pile of ashes marked the
place. and even they were cold. The
house was insured for $500. which will
about cover the loss.

The levy for county purposes fol
each wear since IOoI Is as lolloWs.

With a total tax levy Tor all pur-
poses of ISL mills the city of Rocky
Ford leads all the towns OF the coun-
ty. which is an increase over last
year of Al mills. La Junta is a
close second with total tax levy OF
II g mills, an increase over last year
of rs mills. Swink with total levy
OF 4S.5 mills is the lowest levy in the
county The levy for municipal pur-
poses in Swink is only Is mills.
The otal number OF tax schedules
in the county for the year 1911 is
about 6,3oo, a decrease from last year
of S57. The decrease was OCCASION
ed by the secession of Crowley coun-
tv from the territorial domain of
what was once the big county of
Otero.
The total assessed valuation OF
Otcro county for the year 1911 is S.
26I 80. decrease from last year,
when the county of Crowley was q
part OF Otcro. of SI.sSS,7I5. This
latter figure would represent the as
sessed value of the new county OF
Crowley, but as that county now
claims an assessed valuation OF over

in that county have been considera-
bly, increased over last year. In Olero

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FIX TAX Levy

Death and taxes are the only things
in this world OF which we mortals
here below are absolutely sure, and
in some instances it is toss UP
which would be more acceptable,
says the La Junta Tribune. When
the taxpayers OF Otero county re-
ceivc their annual postal card COM
munication from the county treasurer
cext January, announcing the stipend
that will be required of them to lub-
ricatc the wheels of our democratic
state and county government the az
ro>phere will probably be filed with
a choice assortment of eXpletives that
would not look well in print. The
only thing to do, however, will be to
grin and bear it and hope for better
things. The levy for county pur
poses for the year 1911, as finally fix
ed by the county commissioners, at a
midnight session held on Thursday
night of last week, is 10 mills, an in
crease over last year of 3 mills. In
Guiding the county high school tax OF
,.5 mills the total levy for county
purposes will be 1915 mills. The to-
tai levy for county purposes and
nigh school last year was 1873 mills,
