IMPROVE THE POULTRY FLOCK
Colorado Agricultural College Expert
Suggests Practica! Way to Sc
cure Best Stock.

w. E. Vaplon of the Colorado Agrf-
cultural college, has suggested good
way to improve the poultry stock
Twenty hens in colony house about
7x9 out in the orchard, with a yard
about SO feet square, will furnish a
setting of eggs per day during the sea-
son. which Is about all the average
farmer will care to use. Keep two
males for this pen, changing every few
days. The right kind Of a cock bird
is too unselfish for his own good and
will call the hens to eat all the good
things while he goes hungry; shut
ting him up a few days and feeding
him will keep him in better condi-
ton
This plan also prevents fighting and
will mean more fertile eggs. Weight,
vigor, appearance of the flock, laying
qualities, all will be greatly improved
and the fnfertile eggs produced by the
balance Of the flock will keep better
during warm weather, and will be
much better for putting away for next
winter.

Miracle in Cement Is Assigned
to Public Good.

Washington.-If you had discovered
and patented a cholera anti-toxin that
could stop an annual loss of $30,000,000
worth Of hogs in the United States,
would you give the invention away to
the general public?
Or, if you had found that oil and &C.
ment VIII mix to form a new style OF
concrete which may completely revo-
lutiOniZe the building industry, would
you patent the process for your own
pocketbOok or for the free use OF the
people?
These questions are hypothetical to
the ordinary citizen, but they have
been real to two men. He who discov-
cred the hog cholera serum might have
been rich now, and with a stupendous
fortune in sight. He who is about to
obtain patent on new building ma
terial modestly admits that there prob
ably would be millions in it" and
patent right, but that he has no desire
to take profit from his discovery.
