PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Hens Should Be Allowed to Take a.
Much as They Require
Feed 1t In Their Mash.
(By W. r. PARRISH.)

10Y w. e kA1t1S4011sJ I ..-
When winter comes and the ground
freezes, or is covered with snow good
deal of the time, grit must be sup
piled. Gravel or grit should be sharp,
10 as to both cut and grind. Smooth
pieces Of gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from q pit will
make one of the best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit is helpful, but it will not
answer for exclusive use, not being
sharp nor coarse enough.
If you prefer, you can buy prepared
grit from the dealers in poultry sup
plies. A good many people do this
and good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining grit. The hens need
some Of the oyster shells, as they sup
ply the system with lime and car
Donates, but they will not take the
place of grit. They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep we'll filled grit boxes where
the hens can run to them at will dur
Ing the winter months and you will
ind that they consume quite a lot Of
the material in a months time. Pro
viding the grit in boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves is the best
way Of feeding it. They will then use
rs much as is necessary for their
health, as they are the best judges Of
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.
If we always knew how much would
be needed for the health Of the birds,
It would be all right to mix the grit
with the feed. But since we do not
know this, we would best not force
grit upon them as we would be doing
II we mixed 1t with the feed.

Freidman says there is great pros perity throughout all Manitoba chief ly due to the late influx of American farmers and business men who have gone into that region within the last three or four years
 PAST MASTERS OF "SIGNs"- It seems to MT. Henry C. White a curious fact that two of the best known celebrities, Sir Gilbert Parker and Dwight L. Elmendorf, whom the Phoenix board of trade have been anxious to secure as visitors and guests in the Salt river valley, were originally teachers of the deaf Sir Gilbert taught in the school for the deaf at Belleville, Ontario, and quit only after his successful venture into literature. Prof. ElmendOrf was one of the best teachers in a New York City school for the deaf but even then was famous for his nov ing picture exhibitions, and it was not long before he quit teaching and took up the line of work which he has since reduced to a fine art. If he could be induced to take views of Arizona's superb scenery and exhibit then on his annual tours of the east ern cities, it would be a good thing for the customers. Both gentlemen are adopts in the art of conversation with the deaf and MT. White will be glad to meet Prof. Elmendorf on a common ground.

oraanlze to Aid Farmers.

Denver.-Organizati of the Farm
ers' Finance Company was completed
at a meeting of the Chamber of Com
inerce agricultural committee, when
officers were elected. The purpose of
the company is to further the develop
ment of the semi-arid districts Of the
state.
The primary object of the company
is to give relief to farmers of eastern
Colorado, and other semi-arid portions
Of the state, who have been unable to
make their farms pay. This aid, it is
expected, will enable each of the farm
ers to get new start along the right
lines, without doing business with
loan sharks.
The railroads running through the
so-called dry farming" lands of east
ern Colorado have announced that
they will cooperate with the new COM
pany and it is expected that the roads
will subscribe goodly portion of the
100000 stock to be issued as soon as
the company is incorporated.

Salt Lake, before passing sentence,
asked him his preference.
1t is estimated that fifty residences
were destroyed by fire which swept
the portion of Houston, Texas, inhab-
tied by the working classes.
Aviator Horace F. Kearney, after a
mile minute flight across the bay
from Oakland, successfully threaded
maze of electric wires and landed in
one of San Franciscos streets.
Senator Guggenheim introduced a

an enlarged homestead shall be culti-
waited instead of eighty acres, as is
provided for by the present law.
Poisoned by her mother, who gave

To develop more thoroughly the fer
tilizer and potash resources of the
United States, Secretary Wilson has
ordered the establishment at Reno,
New, of government laboratory,
where natural materials supposed to
contain potash will be examined with
out cost. Those sending samples must
prepay transportation charges.
The total area of the public do
main that up to date has been classi-
fled as applicable to the provisions
of the enlarged homestead act,
amounts to nearly two, hundred mil
lion acres. Last month, 10000 acres
in Montana and Oregon were desig-
mated as lands from which 320-acre
homesteads may be selected, and
more lands are being classified ev-

New Road for Rifle.

Meeker.-A contract has been let
for the immediate construction of a
railroad from Rifle to Harvey gap,
which will tap the coal beds at that
place. March 1 will see the first
ground broken, and the road will be
practically completed and in operation
within sixty days from that date. S.
e. Beckett, one of the heaviest stock
holders, who will be superintendent Of
the new line, has arrived on the scene
with his family and household goods.
He states that the new road is being
financed entirely by Eastern capital,
and that it has nothing to do either
with the Rio Grande or the Midland,
except that it will make connections
with these two roads at Rifle. The
Garfield Coal Company, of which e. e.
Whitney is president. is constructing
the line. The coal bed to be tapped
by this line is one of the largest in
the state and contains high grade

Thirty thousand bales of cotton
burned in one of the big warehouses

Believing that all the instructions
against the government are largely a

been given negative reply.
Two hundred Mexican revolution
lists were killed in an attack ON San

state Must Return Santa Fe Tax.

Washington.-In decision handed
down in the Supreme Court by Justice
Holmes, Colorado was declared to
have exerted unconstitutional privi-
lege in collecting from the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway tax of
$7,629 under statute of 1907, which
applies a license tax to foreign cor
porations. Under the terms of the
statute itself, the judgment will have
the effect of requiring the state treas
urer to return the amount to the rail
way company. Justice Holmes de-
clared the tax exacted of the Santa Fe
is obviously unconstitutional. He cited
various cases involving telegraph -om-
panies and the Pullman company,
wherein those concerns were absolved
from all but the original license fee to
do business in various states on
ground that the greater part of their
business was outside any single state.
