with freedom to give the people bet

would do it. There are thousands )f
government employees who do not
earn half their pay; one-half of the
government appropriations Is wasted.

EVIDENCE 70 REfUTE CluMS
OF KANSAS IN RIVER CASE

Rocky Ford. Jan. si.-Among the
arguments that have been put fo--
ward by the people In Kansas who are
fighting to prevent Colorado people
from using the waters OF the Arkan-
sas river Is the statement that years
ago the river was navigable as s.r
as Colorado and that tho use Of
so much water by the farmers for IT.
rieatlon purposes that has caused the
river to dwindle TO its present size.
This argument has been one OF the
chief topics and up 10 the 2rescat
time has been simply disputed but hH-
proof seemed to be lacking but now
the proof is at hand.
In the hands OF those OF this ciry
who are interested in the matter is
bound volume OF the Arkansas Adv
cate dating from 1880 to 1888 In which
are published notices OF the saIlings

sas river to the head OF navigation

The Advocate was the official paper
for that state OF the United States
government and there can be lItcis
doubt about its statements being true.

In regard to invitations, it must be
borne in mind that 1t is not an in

sent to the various Republican work
ers OF the state announcing the ,ban-

QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

J. w. Woodan, Miner, Ca: L
have read a great many of your
letters on poultry lately and have
become so much interested that / feel
that 1 would like to start in the poul-
try business myself. My idea is to
start on a small scale and grow into
IL. l have about two acres of ground
in a peach orchard, trees not very
thick set. There is some Bermuda
grass in the orchard, and, with a lit
tie trouble, can have good sod all
over the orchard. VIII the Bermuda
be a good green food for them?
What kind Of house would you adj
wise me to build, and what kind OF
chickens to start with? am inclined
to the White Leghorns for eggs, and
Rhode Island Reds for broilers.
ANSWER.
Would advise you to start in a small
way In the poultry business. The,
orchard with Bermuda grass referred
TO is an ideal place for your chick
ems.
Build a small house, say 10x20, fac
ing south, with the north, east and
west sides closed tight, roosts and
nests in the rear and the front facing
south, should have three feet open,
covered with wire; five feet high in
the rear and seven feet in front. You
can divide this house into two rooms.
This house will accommodate ten hens
and male bird in each room.
The two varieties you have select
ed are as good as you can get for
the purpose named. BY starting with
a pen of each of these and by the
use of two incubators and four brood
ers, you should be able to make a
good start this year and raise a fine
lot of chickens, and put you in good
shape for another season with a small
outlay of expense. Would not advise
you to so into 1t too heavily unless
you have had considerable experience,
1t would pay You far better to gain
informant ton and knowledge the first
year from actual experience, than it
would for you to enter the business
on a large scale.
