INCREASES EGG YIELD
Salt in Proper Quantities Of Ma
teriaI Benefit to- Hens.
Food Prepared for Human Taste With
Mineral Is Not Injurious or Repel-
lent to Poultry-Result New
York Station.

It is tradition that salt Is craved
by, and is beneficial, to all domestic
and many wild animals, with the ex-
ception of poultry, and that to these 1t
Is poison. That in large quantities
this is true Is an undoubted fact, as
has often been tested.
Some years ago the writer was quite
Mortified upon going to the barnyard
one afternoon to find dozen or
more fine hens lying about dead. In
looking for the cause Of this sudden
mortality one of the cows messes
was found to be uneaten, and close
examination showed that the attend
ant, either through ignorance or care
lessness, had dumped upon it pint Of
salt-too much to be relished even
by bossy-and after the cattle had
been turned into the pasture, the
chickens, that had free range, discov-
cred the bucket of bran, and ate from
1t freely, and so rapid was the action
of the salt that some hens died but
few feet away. An examination OF
the crops confirmed the supposition
that 1t was the heavily sailed bran
that had proved fatal, says writer IN
the Farm Progress.
That food salted to the human taste
Is not, however, injurious or repel-
lent to poultry of nearly all kinds
Is proved by the avidity with which
the latter eat and thrive upon the
| kaA u,bi 81, in oltdn haQidnQ
bread and meat, all kinds Of vege-
tables and bits Of pastry. Close OBJ
servers contend that chickens, espe-
cially, seem to need small quantities
of salt In their food, and when given
q chance, will prefer this to unsea-
soned grain.
What the exact effects of the slight
ly salted ration might be on the gen.
eral health and productiveness Of hens
was made the subject Of experiment
two or three years ago at the New
York experiment station.
The feeding trial was made upon q
dozen mature hens, especially to as
certain the approximate limit Of the
feeding. For one lot of hens salt was
J mixed in the food in increasing guam
titles, day after day, until it was fed
, at somewhat more than six-hundredths
: of an ounce per fowl, or about one
half pint per day for 100 hens. More
than this produced diarrhoea in some
which disappeared when the excess OF
salt was withdrawn.
The test was made at the unpro'
ductive time of the year, but an un-
expected and gratifying result was
that double the number Of eggs were
laid by the hens fed on rather over
salted food than by any other dozen
fowls fed on unseasoned grain and
other ratlons.

Werdenstein gave hurried orders, and

A few minutes later two armored

CHAPTER XII.
Astra and RosItta.

The excitement caused by Napole-
on's encounter with the enemy was in
describable. The automatic electro
stylograph on board the American
Eagle had recorded the action Of the
fleet and had made copy of the
counts answer to Americas desires.
The attack on the aerodromone was
shown and the subsequent destruction
OF the monoplanes. Napoleon Edison's
name was In large print on every
board. The Hourly Stylograph said
God bless our deliverer!" The Amer
leans comment was "The hero of
America" He was compared to Wash
ington, to Lincoln and many other
great American patriots. His name
was on the lips Of every citizen.
No one watched the helioboard with
such interest and none prayed for Ma
poleon'e success more sincerely than
Astra as she sat in her library with the
Countess Rosiny.
Astra's kindness toward the countess
had not soothed the pain she suffered.
She would have preferred dungeon
Of ancient times, where she could rave
at her and curse her, but she was a
secret service agent, and had early
learned the art Of concealing her feel.

the two planes had opened fire; he
was SO close to them that the bullets
fell on his aerodromone like hail. The
result was surprising. The deadly mis-
siles rebounded from the sides without
leaving mark on the glittering body.
Napoleon had cleverly led them d.
rectly in front of the flagship, 30 that
the scene was enacted before the eyes
of the count and his staff. 1t was mar
velous. the greatest play a mans eyes
had ever rested upon.
Napoleon turned to face the ascend.
ing bat. The count saw him reach up
to lever that he had not used before.
He hesitated for moment, but when
the first bomb was thrown at him he
pulled the lever; flash followed. Zig
gag lines Of lightning burst forth and
the once armored monoplane was shat
tered into thousand bits. Its fate
seemed to shatter the nerve Of the en-
gineer on the other plane, for he
turned and raced for the flagship. 1t
was too late. Napoleon pulled the
lever again and 1t followed its COM
rade into space.
The count was pale; he had been
given terrible example of his enc
my's power, still he did not turn back.
Orders were flashed to the two boats
nearest the eagle to open fire with
their heavy guns. Napoleon read the
order on his plate and was sad, but
he knew that the only way to save
the masses from humiliation was by
a painful operation.
His right hand was on the lever
the left on the wheel; as the guns be
low thundered, the bird man was faI
away, and their shells were wasted
But the next moment brought the
avenging answer; lightning after light
ming darted toward the two boats, the
powder magazines exploded and the
dreaded giants were wrecks, sinking
A few minutes later the boats were
gone, leaving mass of floating debris
and dead men.
The Count Won Werdenstein looked
at the scene helplessly. For the frs
time in his life he realized how pun,
he was.
He looked for the eagle, but it hat
disappeared.
Boats were put out at once to res
cue those who had not been killed b,
the explosions; but the experiences O
that day had spread terror over tn,

A SIMPLE SOLUTION

Some people wonder why this
town stands still, while other
towns grow.
Some of these people live here,
but trade in Chicago.
They earn their money here,
and spend it somewhere else.
If they raised oats and fed them
to another mans horse, would they
wonder why their own horse died {!
If they make money and spend it
in some other town, should they
ask what is the matter with this
one!
There isn't anything the matter
with this town-but there is con-
it's people. -

AID FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS

The Gettysburg News of last
week has the following to say re-
garding the good features of Rep
rescntative +. b. Patterson's bill
appropriating $4,000 in aid of
certain common schools of this
state:
Representative Patterson did
some good work i'm the legislature
getting his bill thru providing re-
lief to the rural school districts
which are sadly handicapped by
non taxable school land in their
respective townships. In Potter
county there are nearly five town
ships of state school land, none of
which is taxable. This amounts to
nearly one6fth of the land in Pot
ter county. Much of this lies in
four townships. In Pleasant View
township 924 out of 1+4 quarter
sections are school land-near two
thirds in Canton township there
are %: in Cattron, 6S---almost half
and in 1899, the southwest
part of Forest City twp, there are
10 quarters of school land. More
or less school land is scattered thru
the rest of the county. 1t is easily
seen that in these townships con-
tanning a large percentage of
schoolland, it is a great burden on
the taxpayers to maintain school.
The greatest opposition to Mr..
Patterson's efforts to secure relief
for these townships came from the
institution counties, who felt that
every dollar given to the support
of rural schools was that much
less for them. After strenuous
efforts Mr.. Patterson succeeded in
obtaining an appropriation of S25,-
900 which amounts approximately
to cent and a quarter an acre. or
about 81 per quarter section, in
lieu of taxes.
'.Under the apportionment,
Pleasant View township, with 924
quarters of schoolland, will re-
ceive 1855, Canton-twp 1884, Cat
tron, S136. and Forest City. $40,
which will be of considerable
assistance to them in maintaining
their schools. This is in addition
to their share of lease money.
which is annually turned back to
the county. With this for an en-.
tering wedge, it is hoped that al
some later session the appropria.
] tion may be increased, until the
