they are produced on the place.
In that case twice as much ought

In winter we feed one part of

corn altogether, as it is too

we omit the grain feed and sub

parts of good wheat bran, one
part of corn chop, one part of

Rhode Island Reds on the place.
For the single-comb White Leg
horns more corn can be fed. Of
course, some kind of grit and
oystershells must be supplied

that graduated bone and char
coal can be added.
A cheap way to furnish your
hens green food all winter and
get eggs as in summer is to sup
ply silage. Last winter we built
a small silo, A inches across and
II feet deep, and filled it with
green COIN cut one-fourth inch
long. We commenced to feed
our flock with sllage the 18th of
November, and never missed a
feed until May, Is. when we fed
the last of the silage. Our eggs
cost us just cents a dozen, and
during the winter months we got
IS, 80 and IS cents dozen. Here
is what we fed and how we fed
it: We had oats and corn ground
together-equal parts. We took
three and one-third pounds each
Of this meal and wheat bran and
shorts, making 10 pounds of
ground feed. We put one-hali
bushel OF the silage in a big iron
kettle, poured one gallon OF
boiling water oyer it, then we
added the 10 pounds of ground

This is just the right amount Of
sllage, water and ground feed to
make curmbling mess to feed
to the best advantage. The
chickens eat everything but the
cobs and the joints in the stalks

HIGH EGG RECORD DISCUSSED
BP F. WARE FIrE.

Some idea of the possibilities
OF backyard poultry industry are
pointed out by I. Christman in
a recent issue of the Feather, of
Washington. The record of
1,56S eggs was accomplished by
eight single-comb Rhode Island
Red hens in a year. This is an
average of 1916 each, S4.1S per
hen at the market prices for the
time.
The first essential, according
to Mr.. Christnan, is having the
right kind of stock. and a second
of no less consideration is a
thorough knowledge of feeding.
OF all the perplexing questions
relating to poultry culture none
are receiving more careful and
thoughtful consideration by poul-
try breeders than those relatin g
to feeding methods.
The following is the method
advanced by Mr.. Christman:
Green foods, beef scraps, grit.
shells and ground bone. as usual
ly fed, constitute but a small part
of daily ration; the bulk of the
food being made up of the diff
ferent kinds of grains, such as
wheat, oats, barley, corn, buck
wheat. kafhr corn, rice, sunflower
seed, ETC., fed either whole or
ground. The ground grain is
either fed in hoppers III a dry
form or moist mash in the eve
ming, and the whole grain is
scattered i'll the litter twice a
day to make the towels exercise.
The above may seem for
midable list of stuff and | know
many think it IS very expensive
and then, again, out of reach of
many. 1t is only a list TO select
from. Of course, if one can get
them all and mix them so as to
get balanced ration most excel
lent results ought t. low, On

New York. June 14.-Theodore
Roosevelt announced at noon today
that he had decided TO so to Chicago
personally to lead his fight for the Re-
publican presidential nomination. He
left New York at $3.50 this afternoon.
HColonel Roosevelt said he was going
- Chicago in response to the unanim-
Gus demand of the Roosevelt delegates.
He will be accompanied only by Regis
II. Post, former governor of Porto
Rico.
"Is your decision the result of what
you have heard from Chicago today?"
the colonel was asked.
Il have heard a good DEAL" he re-
sponded. IAN I've got to say" he con-
tinued, ''is this: Several delegates
have been In to see me here today and
! have received countless kilograms.
The absolutely unanimous demand of
the delegates who have already reach
ed Chicago Is that l go. They say
that the action Of the national COM
mittee in the California. the Arizona.
the Indiana and the Kentucky cases
Is such as to make the issue absolute
ly clear as to whether the people have
the right to make their own nominal
tion or whether a small knot OF pro-
fessional politicians is to be permitted
TO steal that right from them"
Colonel Roosevelt will reach Chi
cago at o'clock tomorrow afternoon
probably before the national committee
has decided all contests. 1t was
rather a nerve racking day for every
one about Colonel Roosevelt's office
. including the colonel himself, until he
finally decided he would go to Chicago
Starting yesterday afternoon when he
began a conference over the wires with
Senator Dixon in Chicago, Colonel
Roosevelt spent most all OF his time
bn debating the question except during
the few hours he slept last night
When he reached his office he found
an excited crowd awaiting him
Politicians, newspaper men and
photographers pressed about him, each
asking the same question. He escaped
10 his private office. From time te
time he came out to say that he had
not made up his mind. He talked in g
nervous staccato, unusual for him. Al

London. June 14.-Largely because
Of the meddling of royalty. e recon-
citation between the Duke of Marl-
borough and his American wife, which
was at one time confidently expected
by friends of both, now seems hope
less. The royal persons whose inter
ference has thus widened the breach
are none other than Queen Mary of
England and the dowager queen Alex
andra.
The dowager's sympathies have al
ways been with the duchess, but, ow
ing to the rule which prevailed in the
English court during the reign of King
Edward, that separated couples must
be excluded from the royal circle, she
could not publicly show her feeling.
The rule which thus shut the uDfor-
tunate duchess out of all court func-
tions completely eclipsed her social
career. Her magnificent London house
