GOOD CARE IN HOT WEATHER
Constant Attention Must BE Given
That Hens and Young Chickens
Have Plenty Fresh Water.

During the spring and summer
months constant care Eust be taken
to e that the hens and young chick
n have plenty Of water and shade.
says a writer In the Iowa Homestead.
The hens cannot manufacture eggs
without a liberal supply of water, AZ
q large per cent. OF eggs is composed
OF water. The growing flock. too, will
not develop properly II half famished
from thirst. This may mean nc win
ter eggs from the pullets.
II one would take the best care OF
the flock he should give It fresh water
In the morning and just after noon.
The water that stands In a fountain
very long becomes stale and un-
healthy. Water should always be
pure and the vessels clean. It is wise
to keep the water vessels in the shade
of the house or trees all the day.
This leads to the important question
OF shade. No fowls will do well in
warm weather without sufficient
shade. / have made 1t a special point
to notice my hens in the summer, and
I have discovered that along toward
the middle Of the day they will seek
shelter from the suns hot rays. They
will either retire to the shade OF a
tree or the shelter Of the poultry
house. They prefer to get away from
the house If they a find suitable
shade elsewhere. II no trees are
growing in the yard and there are no
bushes or shrubbery Of any kind
where the flock may find shade II
will be well to construct an artificial
shade by setting posts into the
ground, one at each corner OF a par
allelogram plot. Nail ~crosspieces to
these and place boards on them. Here
the hens may find retreat from the hot
sun

Good Demand for Horses.

ierre.-Horse buyers are busy in
this part Of the state and are shipping
a lot OF horses from the Missouri val.
ley and western counties. Hardly a
freight train asst from this city does
not take out shipments running from
n to two cars up to a dozen. that
many going to Chicago and Omaha
markets Friday morning. The buyers
for the government for cavalry and
artillery purposes are picking up the
best they a get, and are finding a
large number. shipping to various
points every few days, and the eastern
buyers are busy selecting the class
OF horses wanted in their sections.
Altogether the man who owns a bunch
OF good horses does not need to search
for a buyer these days, and the de-
mand apparently has not been dimin.
ished by the automobile trade.

DIR. w. F. Odom of Kurten was in
the city last Saturday and while at

had two cases Of meningitis on the
Navasota river beyond the Reliance
community. One Of the patients died
and the other had recovered from the
disease, but was otherwise affected
Today Mr.. A. w. Cloud, one OF the
reliable citizens OF that community,
was in Nthe city and informed The
Eagle that>two new cases DEVELOPED
yesterday in the -Bsighborhood where
the other cases were, one Of them in
the house where one Of the first cases
died nearly two weeks ago. Mr.. Cloud
says that quite a number OF people
we're exposed to the first cases, and
some Of the children who were ex.
posed are now attending the school
at Reliance with children from all
over the community. OF course there
will be more or less exposure to the
two cases that developed yesterday.
There is evidently great danger
from this locality, and no time should
be lost in taking steps that will give
the town and the people of the county
generally protection against 1t.
