A flock Of hens should be made to

something radically wrong some

are doing we'll and will make a good
showing on the right side Of the cash
book. Any averages above that will
be so much more gain and will more
than justify keeping tie biras.
If they fall way below this mark
you better investigate and find out
the cause of the trouble. It may be
that you have a poor strain of birds,
that you are not feeding the right
kinds Of foods or IN sufficient guam
titles. or that you are not giving them
the proper attention that they must
have in order to be great producers.

REAL NJ "SALAMANDER

Chabert, the Fire King. who was a
popular favorite in London 80 years
ago. claimed to be able to swallow
arsenic and other poisons with i'm
punity. Visitors to his entertainment
were requested to come provided with
phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and
oxalic acid, which be proceeded to
consume before the eyes, taking an
antidote afterward which was sup
posed to neutralize their effects. Then.
to show that he was as impervious to
heat as to poison, he would take a

the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.

WHY THUNDER SoURs MILK

II has often been observed that some
foods, such as milk, meat and soup. go
bad when there is a thunderstorm.
This has generally been attributed to
the electricity causing an extra sup
ply Of ozone in the air, but expert
ments conducted recently by Prof.
Trillat in France do not confirm this
theory.
Prof. Tr.llat has proved that inhni-
testmal traces of the gases of putres-
cence cause tactic ferments to pro-
gress with great rapidly. It Is known
that atmospheric %depressions cause
the gases lying in the earth. and in
all other objects to come to the sur
face. This is what makes odors more
%perceptible after a storm. From this
it was a natural deduction that atmo-
spheric depression accelerated decay
by l~iberating the gases in milk or 9TH
er perisbable foods.
Prof. Trillat made many expert
ments with substances under varying
degree Of atmospheric pressure and
proved that the lower the barometer
the nor rapid the decay.

vanized tin, with a hollow tube
through the center of such a size that
heat from a lamp can be turned in
with an elbow. On the top of the cyl
inder there should be a screw plug for
putting in water. The tank when filed
with water is heated by the hot air in
the hollow tube. This center tube
should be long enough to extend
through the brooder box and to the
lamp set outside. The box should be
carpeted with paper or litter, the tank
put in place and filed with boiling
water, the lamp put in position and
the brooder allowed to warm up be-
fore the chicks are put in. When in
position the cylinder should be two
inches from the bottom. After the
heat is up the lamp may be turned
very low. If the chicks are too warm
the cover may be raised and a stick
slipped under the edge to give more
air. Don't overcrowd. Give plainly Of

ELIMINATING COMPETITION.

There has been competition in the
telephone business In Lake County
for six or eight years. This compe-
tition was more pronounced in the
country districts. In central and
southern Lake county there were as
many Northwestern telephones as
there were Chicago telephones.
The result was that neither COM
pany gave satisfactory service. Last
Saturday the stockholders of the
private company got together at the
court house at Crown Point and de-
cided to sell out to the Chicago TeIe-
phone company.
Inc two systems will now be
amaigamated. Competition will be
eliminated. The subscribers to the
Northwestern Telephone COMPANY
