Water everywhere. Mud oc-
casionally. Ducks and geese
are numerous.
The ice in the Mo. River has
begun to rise upon the banks
but has not begun to move or
gorge yet. Dynamite explosions
have been heard all day. This
blasting is at Fremont bridge
and also down near Platts-
mouth.
Some fear is entertained for
the winter wheat on account of
the unusual amount of ice and
water settling in places on the
low land.
Much discussion is going
on regarding the grasshopper
plague this spring. G. F. Step
hens living across the line in
Pott. Co., states that he has al-
ready seen the results of the
early Matching of the eggs. Mr..
Stephens had a practical illus
tration at his place nearly a
month ago. Mrs. Stephens in
preparing her house plants for
freezing weather last fall took
some dirt from the garden to
pack around the roots of the
plants which was placed close
to a window where the suns
rays could get to them. Some
time ago she noticed insects of
some kind on the window sill.
On closer investigation she dis
covered a number of young
erasshoppers hopping around
the plants and from there to
the window. The heat from
the sun and the natural con-
ditions under which these were
Matched only shows to plainly
what may be expected out in
the fields when the heat of
summer begins.

OLD HENS ARE POOR LAYERS
Experiments at Maryland Station
Shows That Aged Birds Arc
Maintained at Serious Loss.

At the Maryland station, IN study
Of the egg production Of sixty white
Leghorn hens in three successive
years, the average number of eggs
per bird was 171.3 the first year;
149.1 the second year and f51:1 the
third year.
The estimated cost Of the mainte-
nance Of the flock was $50 for each
year; the profit per hen was $2.07
the first year, s1.61 the second year
and 80 cents the third year. All Of
the five hens which produced 200
eggs and over laid their first egg in
November, whereas Of the fowls pro-
ducing 100 and under only 81 per
cent. laid their first egg in Novem-
Der; "A per cent. laid their first
egg in January, and IS per cent. laid
their first egg in February.
One fowl made the best record in
the third year, 13 in the second year,
and the remainder during the first
year. The percentage Of shrinkage
proves conclusively that birds of this
age are being maintained at serious
financial loss.

PREPARE FOWLS FOR WINTER
Thoroughly Dipped h Solution og
Warm Water and G.eaae Effeefu- !
ally Kills All NerTr!n. 4

Save all the strong bacon grease
especially the grease from fried ba-.
con. When your fowls sit around
picking themselves and looking
droopy and shabby, get large, deep
can or bucket; from its shape largo.
candy bucket is best; Ill it nearly
full Of warm water; on this pour melt-i
ed grease until it forms thick scum
over the water; catch your fowls. taket
them one by one by their wings, and
with the head Str light up, dip them
down, pretty hard, two or three times!
into the water; let the head go COM;
pletely under once; do this quickly to-
avoid strangling the fowl; then t1ru
it loose.
After waiting a few hours for the
water to drip from the feathers, drfva
them into the shade, so the sun villa
not blister them. For short time
they will be sorry looking lot OF
fowls.
This treatment causes the feathers
to fall apart, so the body of the fowa
is cool, the water soften5 the skinsE
the grease-laden feathers fall out cas-,
lily, and the new ones push their way
through the skin and grow In masses
instead Of one or two in place; the
time Of molting Is shortened; the
fatty grease kills all the Vermln ON
the fowl, while grease-saturated feath-
ers are death traps to any yerrnin,
that may get on them. :.
Keep the bucket filled with water,
and pour more grease on. the watea
from time to time.
The fowls should be dipped early
in the morning, and made to roosS
under shelter for several nights.
BY dipping the fowls in the early
fall they become healthy and free
from pests, hence stand the winter
better and in the spring have little OH
no vermin 10 annoy them and get on,
and kill their little cnes. {

ing pan will give poultry all the IRON

Too often when stock is fed for a
certain market it Is sold at dis

With good care, good stock looks
better, does better and pays better
than scrubs.
Moulting season Is the time your
stock requires more care than at any
other time of year.
An underfed hen means hen that
does not lay much. Eggs can't be
made out Of nothing.
Laying. hens drink very large
amount of water if it is clean and
kept constantly before them.
Fruit-growing and poultry-raising go
we'll together. Anyone following
either will do well to consider the
other.
The sooner a hen starts new litter
of eggs after she lays out one litter,
the more profitable a hen she is.
Watch this.
The market is always good for broil-
ers; but don't let the folks in town
eat them all. Broil now and then for
the folks at home.
No use to feed chicks heavy unless
you keep the chicks from feeding lice

GOVERNOR BALDWIN
 THE ONLY oFF-HoRsE.
Other Executives Favor Cooperative
 Banks For Farmers.

Beverly, Mass, Oct 22-President Taft's plan for cooperative banks for the American farmer has been endors- ed by seven g0vernors- Ten letters from state executives discussing the plan have been received at the exc cutive offices here. Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, of Connecticut was the only governor to express disapproval of the scheme. Two letters were re- ceived from secretaries to governors The governors who approved the pres idents idea were Eberhart, of Mime sota; Pothier, of Rhode Island; Foss of Massachusetts; Vessey. of South Dakota; Blease. of South Carolina; Goidsborough, of Maryland and Mann, of Virginia
 The president in his letter to the governors said that the question of co, operative credit for farmers at interest rates equal to those paid by capital was one for the states to take up an6 suggested that the governors in theil conference at Richmond, Va, early ir December, discuss the matter. The seven state executives who replied fa- vorably all said that thy would b< glad to have the matter considered al the Richmond conference.
 Governor Baldwin, the only dissent. CT, said in part:
 AS far as Connecticut is concerned our general incorlDrative laws are now very liberal and our savings bank. have such an abundance of deposit: that they are well able to meet all tn, financial needs of Connecticut agri. culture; nor do, they ever charge abov, . very moderate rate of interest.
