and some do not. A protein-bear-
ing food, such as beef scrap, fish
s"rap gluten or lnseed meal, Is es-
sential for birds that we want to lay
plenty Of eggs. This, Of course, Is
written with the thought that most
buy their foods of poultry supply
dealer, the foods being ready mixed,
and that Is the wisest plan, generally
speaking. TO buy a few pounds of
food, buying them at retail, and Of
course paying the retail price for
each one, then spending the time to
do the mixing oneself, is rather
about hundred head Of layers and
finds 1t decidedly more satisfactory
to buy all the foods ready mixed.
If one wants to buy grains and
meals the following will make good
rations for the flock: Four quarts
Of good cracked corn and two quarts
each of good wheat and good, heavy
oats, will make good scratch food.
1t will be still better if Il pint of
buckwheat and a pint Of sunflower
seed are mixed with it. TO make Il
good dry mash mixture get ten
pounds Of good wheat bran, and five
pounds each Of cornmeal, middlings
(some call this cred dog~, gluten
meal and good beef scrap If you
cannot get gluten meal get linseed
meal and If the latter is not at hand
double the quantity of beef scrap.
When the birds are first put into
the house they will bear feeding
up bit, and slight increase in
the quantity Of beef scrap will be
advisable; again, If the birds are not
laying quite as well as we want
them to lay, increase the quantity
of beef scrap just little When
doing this glance at the droppings
on the droppings board every day
and note If they are fairly good,
firm dropDinss. The condition Of
the droppings is the key to the health
of the birds. Loose (very soft)
droppings indicate that the bird
voding them is out of condition:
therefore keep an eye to the condi-
ton of the droppings. Keep in
mind, also, that we are keeping this
flock Of birds to produce eggs for
us, and that we must feed close IN
to the danger line in order to push
them for eggs; birds kept only for
eggs can be pushed considerably
harder than birds from which we
want to get good, strong eggs for
Matching purposes in the spring.
The plan contemplates buying the
flock of pullets each fall, say earl, 4
In October, pushing them for eggs
through the winter and spring and
beginning to eat them about the
first Of March, when eggs ARE, over
plenty and cheap. Having flock
of dozen birds we can eat two n
month for six months before they
have all come to the table.

floor, making tie entire floor space
available for exercise. The top of
the roost poles should be up nine
inches from the droppings board.
The furniture of such house
should be simple, including four
nest boxes, preferably underneath
the droppings board and close up to
1t, SO the birds would have all Of
the floor space for exercising room.
Hanging on the wall should be a
food hopper for dry mash, three
compartment hopper for oyster
shells, grit and charcoal, and wa
ter Fountain; this last we would
hang upon the wall at the front, near
the door. There should be curtain
two by four feet in the upper half
OF the front, and the upper half Of
the door should also be curtain.
These curtains are Of unbleached
muslin, tackled to light frames, say
OF Is BX2 R inch Turing. That in the
front wall should be hinged at the
top so it will swing in and up and
can be hooked up out Of the way:
that in the door should be secured
in place by button at each side,
and should be out and put away in
safe place for eight months of the
year--April 1st to Decembelo list.
Two-inch mesh wire netting should
be Stapled to the openings in door
and the front, on the outside, to keep
the birds in and vermin out.
The floor Of the house should be
covered about two inches deep with
fine sand or loan and six inches in
depth Of straw, swale hay, or such
coarse material, to induce the birds
to scratch for their grain food; the
exercise Of scratching for the whole
and cracked grains Of the scratch
food keeps them in good health
1t Is the very best exercise for hens.
This scratch food is scattered in the
litter twice day, morning and mid
afternoon; for convenience the
scratch food for the morning can be
scattered in the litter after the
birds have gone on the roost for the
night, then it Is there for them to
go to work upon when they come
down from the roost in tho morning.
TO Increase Number of Eggs.
The dry mash, which is before
them all the time, in the dry food
hopper, enables pushing them bit
If we want them to lay more eggs
than they are laying, and the secret
OF inducing them to eat more dry
mash is to scant the scratch food
just little. They prefer the whole
and cracked grains, and will scratch
and search for them so long as there
is reasonable hope Of finding any;
when they cannot find any more
grain they turn to the hopper and
eat a few mouthfuls or the dry mash.
Another way to increase their lay
ing is to slightly increase the amount
OF beef scrap in the dry mash. Some
OF the commercial (rcady mixed)
dry mashes have beef scrap in them

PARCELS POST RULES.
Regulations Governing the System
Issued by Hitchcock.

Washington, Dec 13.-Regulations to
cover the workings of the new parcel
post system, which is to go into opera
ton on January 1, next, have been
made public by Postmaster General
Hitchcock. The rev system will be eff
fective throughout the entire postal
service at the same time and will af-
feet every postoffice, city, rural and
railway mail transportation route in
the country. Every precaution will be
have the mails moved with the usual
dispatch and all postmasters, superin
tendents and inspectors have been di-
rected to familiarize themselves and
their subordinates with every phase of
the new system.
Mr. Hitchcock expressed the hope
that the public familiarize itself with
the nature of the new service before
attempting to use 1t. Information will
be available at any postoffice in the
country in a few days.
The regulations provide that parcels
of merchandise including farm and
factory products Cbut not books and
printed matter) of almost every de-
scription to IL pounds in weight and
measuring as much as six feet in length
and girth combined, except those calcu-
lated to do injury to the mails in tran
sit, may be mailed at any postoffice
for delivery to any addresses in
the country Delivery will be
made to the homes of people
living on rural and star routes
as well as those living in cities and
towns where there is delivery by car
rier. Where there L. at present no de-
livery by carrier the parcels will go
tc the postoffice, as in the case with
ordinary mail.
The postage rate for the first zone
that is within distances not exceeding
so miles, will ne cents for the first
pound and cents for each additional
pound The rates increase for each
successive one of the eight zones into
which the country is divided, the max
imum rate being II cents a pound
which will carry a parcel across the
continent or even to Alaska and the
Philippines.
For a fee of 10 cents a parcel may
be insured al d If the parcel is lost in
the mails an indemnity to the amount
of its value not to exceed $50 will be
paid to the sender.
The law provides for the use of dis
tinctive postage STAMPS and there is
now being distributed to postmasters
for use in the parcel post system a set
of stamps of twelve denominations.
Parcel post maps, with accompanying
guides, are to lie sold to the public at
their cost, rs cents, through the chief
clerk of the postoffice department.

MORE LUCK THAN SENSE
Victim of X. @. Grafters Saved by
Cautious Bank Cashier.

Pretty Prairie, Kan, Dec. 1S.-F. A.
Stuckey selected wisely when he de-
posted his savings in a bank at Pretty
Prairie, Kan. AS result he is $3.50
richer than he would be otherwise.
Stuckey went to Kansas City late in
the summer on his way to North Da-
kota. Near the Union depot he met
Arthur L. Roberts, also known as
Clarence Williams, and another man.
They induced him to match dollars"
and when they obtained $50, all the
cash he had, Stuckey wrote checks for
$3.50.
Stuckey thought the game was
Square" and went on to Dakota with
out stopping payment on the checks.
He was a good loser. The cashier of
his home bank was acquainted with
city ways, and being suspicious of the
checks, he refused to honor them,
although they couldn't find Stuckey to
communicate with him. Several weeks
later Stuckey finished his visit and
returned home t. find himself $3.50
richer because of the caution of a
bank cashier.
Tracing the checks resulted in the
arrest of Roberts, and he was identi
fed at Kansas City yesterday by the
guileless KanSan.

DUNBAR QUARTET.
Bell Ringers and Singers at High
School Tonight.

The Dunbar Male Quartet and Bell
Ringers will be the attraction this
evening at the high school auditorium.
The entertainment is one of the en-
gagements of the grade teachers
course.
The Dunbars carry peal of over 200
bells, made in Europe under their own
supervision, six octaves chromatic, and
ranging in size from one to twenty-five
pounds. They are unlike other bells in
that they are soft and mellow in quail
ity, and sustain their tones so long that
the company has often been accused Of
having a small organ concealed and
operated in connection with the bells.
Years of experience have resulted in
such a perfect system of manipulation
that such compositions as Meadow
ellis ITO a Wild Rose''-Nevin's Con
doliers'' and Chopfn's 'Raindrop' pre-
lude are given with grace and effect.
Several members of the company are
vocal and instrumental soloists. They
have previously been heard in Topeka
and need no introduction.

also helped.
The opening was &c off to a like amount

After temporary reaction prices made
a sharp assent owing to rumors war had
been declared between Servia and Austria.

May at 901zc, an advance of 1zc net.
CORN-Corn traders leaned to the buy
ing side on account of the firmness in
wheat. May opened shade lower to an
equal advance at 4s1Ac to 4S5sc and hard
ened to 48Ac.
There was a reaction later when wheat
failed to maintain top figures; the close
was steady with May 1sc net lower at

OATS-Purchasing by cash houses kept
oats steady. May, which started at 32sc
to 33c, varying from a sixteenth down

hold within these limits.

MINISTRIES TONIGHT.

Twenty years ago the name of Prim-
rose and Dockstader's Minstrels was
a household word in every locality
where minstrelsy fiourished in the
hearts of the people, and as exempli-
fed by them.
When George Primrose retired some
years ago, it was with a fortune well
earned. But relaxation did not agree
with him; there were rumors of his
reentry in active life every little while.
This summer this reentry was definite
ly decided upon, and since it is to be
made in company with his former col
league, Lew Dockstader.

Last year saw the tremendously sue
Fields, this year will mark the equally
important reunion of Primrose and
Dockstader.
Dockstader's Characterization is time
Iy in the extreme. He will take care
of the Bull Moose party, just to let
people know how it was going to sound.
With his new plug hat and his moose
hide vest, he can be relied upon to
give a half hour of fun in the Roose-
veltian strain at the Grand tonight.
Primrose has several new topical songs,
which have caught on like wild fire.
Both Mr.. Primrose and Mr.. Dock
stader have a host of friends in To-
peka and they will be there to hear
their favorites.
Theater patrons find ''Kndling'' SO
very elemental and so very human that
it's appeal is irresistible. 1t is easy
to suffer and plan with Heinie
Schultz and his wife, Maggie. Maggie
follows the suggestion given her by all
the people with whom she comes in
contact and steals in order that her
baby may be born in the free air of
the great west. She almost falls into
the clutches of the law but the fact
that she finally realizes her great hope
gives a particularly pleasant ending to
the story Sarah Padden's emotional
power has ample range in the role of
Maggie and she has scored a genuine
triumph in the part. She will be sup
ported by William Macauley, Alice
Ringing and an excellent cast.
The attraction will play at the Grand
next Tuesday evening, December II.
