A Good Egg Food.

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but it is excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman
gives his experience: The peas, aft
er maturing, were harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls in scratching pens, where they
were scratched over and searched for
during the day. After few days the
egg supply was visibly increased and
within 4 few weeks almost doubled
that from an equal number of hens
kept in separate quarters and fed on
other grains. The hens seemed to
like the small branches and leaves,
and would eat every particle except
the hard, stiff stems. The general
health of the flock was excellent, and
not a single hen showed the least
symptom of ailment during the winter
season. Considering the ease with
which cowpeas may be raised, it
seems that everyone should give them
a test as food for the poultry.

Crop Returns From Dry Farming
Section Of Montana.
Billings.-Throughout the non-irri-
gated sections north Of here growers
are taking advantage of the splendid
weather conditions to hurry to COM
pletion the work of threshing the big
grain and flax crop which grew in
that territory. Reports of enormous
yields continue to be received and in
many instances 1t is said these are
far greater than even the most ex-
travagant previous estimates.
Harry B. Drum, who was formerly
one Of the big cattlemen of the north
ern country during the halycon days
of the range, and who, with the ad.
vent of scientific dry land farming
disposed of the greater part of his
stock and threw barbed wire fences
around his broad acres of sage brush
and buffalo grass, is among those
whose granaries are almost bursting
with their store of golden wealth.

and not only was the yield much
heavier than / anticipated, but the
grain is of the finest class and will

twenty-five acres of them, but the
yield was trifle more than sixty.

They stood five feet high and were
so heavy that when an eight-foot
binder started harvesting them we
were unable to cut full swath for
the machine simply could not handle
them. In threshing it kept three men
working like beavers to take them
away, so rapidly did they pour out Of
the machine"
Mr.. Drum says many other farmers
raised crops as good as his, in fact,
that in all instances where farming
was done in the proper manner, the
harvest was excellent. He also re-
ports the flax yields are heavy and
that a largely increased acreage will
be seeded next spring.

The Needle In the Haystack.

In mutual terror and common par
alysis Of ingenuity. Marjorie, for lack
Of anything better to do, was absent
mindedly twisting Snoozleum's ears,
while he, that pocket abridgment Of q
dog, in a we'll meaning effort to d.
vert her from her evident grief, made
a great pretense of ferocity, growing
and threatening to bite her fingers
of. The new ring attracted his spe-
cial jealousy. He was growing dis
couraged at the 1ll-success of his i'm
personation of wolf, and detected
at being so crassly ignored, when he
suddenly became, in his turn, center
of interest.
Marjorie was awakened from her
trance of inanition by the porter's
voice. His plantation voice was or
dinarily as thick and sweet as his own
New Orleans sorgM~m, but now it had
a bitterness that cstdled the blood:
"'Scuse me, but hox I'D you-all git
that theah dog in this ;aeah cah?"
"SnooEleums is always with me-"
said Marjorie briskly, as If that set
tied 1t, and turned for confirmation
to the dog himself, aren't you,
Snoozleums?"
Well" the porter drawled, trying
TO be gracious with his great power,
"the rules don't low no live stock in
the sleepin' cars, 'ceptin' humans"
Marjorie rewarded his condescen-
Sion with blunt: "Snoozleums Is
mcr~ human than you are
Il p'sume he u.s." the porter adj
mitteG, "but he can't make up berths.
Anyway, the rules says dogs goes

Marjorie swept rules aside with a
defiant: II don't care. won't be
separated from my snoozleums."
She looked to Mallory for support.
but he was too sorely troubled with
greater anxieties to be capable OF any
action.

FALSE CHARGE
Of FRAUD MADE

An exchange of blows between
City Attorney Henry Tupper and
William G. Struthers, unsuccessful
candidate for sheriff. was narrowly
ayerted by friends about midnight
last night at the Y. NJ. C. A., where
the polls of the West Third ward
were held.
When the canvass had been COM
pleted Struthers read the result,
and charged Tupper and the other
officials with falsifying the returns
to favor Schrader. He demanded q
recount and new counters were
brought in. Their return gave
Schrader one moer vote than the
officials had given him.
Tupper, angry at the false charge
demanded an apology, and when
Struthers refused hot words ensued
which almost led to blows. Both
men were later quieted and parted.
