"It is perfectly safe to feed beets in
any quantity to the flock. They are
valuable both as food and rough
ness. The per cent of sugar which
they contain all goes to make fat on
the hen and there is also a large per
cent of egg making ingredients in the
stock beet, particularly when we con-
slider that the beet is an aid to diges-
tion and will therefore make the other
foods the more valuable. The beets
need not be served in any particular
way, but are simply thrown out on
the ground, and then the fowls do the
rest. The beet is eaten up clean; not
scrap will be left.
"The writer is of the opinion that
the beets are better for the fowls at
any time of the year than is kale.
The trouble is that it is difficult to

A lot of people are waking up to the
possibilities of poultry raising this
year and l have been asked to advise
several if they had better make
hurried start That seems to me to
be one of the things that one man is
hardly competent to advise another
about but don't hesitate to say that
the prospects for the coming year
look good to me and there is still
time for live man to get flock
started in time to produce lots Of
eggs next winter. No great amount
of preparation is required to get
ready to raise big brood of chicks,
and it is not necessary to wait to
hatch out the chicks; they may be
had at week or ten days notice
from some large hatchery. Almost
any room or clubhouse with from 300
to 400 square feet of floor surface
will do for a brooder. No outside
fencing is needed at first. When the
chicks are allowed out of doors, at
four or five days old, take a strip of
fine mesh wire, three feet wide and
about 40 feet long and just stand it
up on the ground to enclose a small
outside run, stapling it down to the
ground with common wooden clothes
pins and a few sharpened sticks.
This yard will do them until three
weeks of age and by that time you
can have permanent enclosure prop
erly fenced. No additio room is
needed until the chicks are at least
two months old. By that time the
cockerels may be marketed and part
of the pullets removed to other
quarters. Two hundred pullets may
be kept in the original brooding house
until at least four months of age.

Tells Why Chicks Die

J. G. Refer, the poultry expert OF 1869 Main
liable book entitled white Diarrhoea and How
to Cure It." This wonderful book contains
some new scientific facts or white diarrhoea
that cures this terrible disease over nieht and
actually raises SO per cent of every hatch.
Everyone interested in poultry should certainly
write Mr.. Refer for one of these valuable FREE
books.

and they learned of the temporarily
low price of eggs when buying them
for their own table. AS recently ex-
planned in these columns, that low
record price was the result of a
"raid' on the market that could not
be sustained and the price of eggs
throughout all this spring has been
better than for two or more years
previous. The recent short spell of
warm weather caused eggs to weaken
and drop one cent in the Seattle
market, but the price is still one cent
higher than it was just one year ago.
Broilers are still bringing fair prices
and at this time last year I could
hardly give mine away. No, gentle
men of the poultry papers, there is
nothing the matter with the poultry
business now, though it is not SO
easy for the parasites of the business
the non producers AS it was during
few recent boom years. The shak-
ing out of hundreds of so called
breeders, who advertised extensively
and filled the poultry papers with
their axe grinding dope, has not
harmed the business a bit. On the
contrary, it has cleared away lot of
dead wood and given the real poultry
raisers better chance. The amount
of advertising that poultry paper
contains is no fair sign of the pros
perity of the business in general.
We are often asked what we con-
slider the best green food for chickens
Herewith is given the opinion of a
writer in the Petaluma Weekly Poultry
Journal concerning stock beets as a
green food for poultry; an opinion
in which we entirely concur:
"The thing which comes very near
to solving the problem of green feed
for the chickens in the molting season
is beets, stock beets. The question
of what may be fed the flock at that
time is vexatious one. Kale is, of
course, the first thought. But kale
is not, as rule, available at that
season of the year. Aud if it is to be
had it is not of the best quality, for
along in August and September the
leaves become tough, and the chickens
do not like it as they do earlier in
the year. Cabbages are excellent,
and they are not difficult to raise.
Indeed, many people rely on them
for their green feed in months men
toned, and are entirely successful
in coming through the mott. The
only objection raised to the cabbages
is that they do not pay as we'll as
the beets, for on the whole head OF
cabbage does not weigh as much as a
beet, and the food value is not SO
high. Therefore some prefer the beets
to any other thing to carry them
through the period when green feed

One of the main, if not the main,
cause of the present stagnation in
the poultry business is the calamity
bowling that has been going on in the
poultry press ever since the severe
drop in prices last February. These
papers are, for the most part, edited
by men who hardly know a chicken
from dog and their especial con-
tributors," who receive no pay for
their writings, certainly do special
ly contribute weird lot of junk for
the entertainment and instruction of
their readers. AS to giving a practi-
cal review of trade conditions, such a
thing is beyond their capacity. A
good many of these special con-
tributors are not egg producers at all,

Seventy Percent of Water Lost

II is estimated by expert irrigation
lists that fully seventy percent of the
irrigation water is never utilized be-
cause of waste in open bitches due
TO scepagc and evaporation, To OBJ
yiate this great loss the Tumey Con-
struction Company is making poured
concrete pipes and valves so that the
water is led direct from the pump
TO the bed where il is to be applied.
The poured concrete is not in any
way similar to the old pressed tiles
through the walls of which the water
could pass almost at will, bat, owing
to being poured wet into the moulds,
il displays all the strength Of the best
concrete constructions. The more
water saved the less the pumping
plant is in operation and the less the
cost. Time and convenience too, are
considerations. By turning a valve
the water flows in undiminished
force right where it will do the plants

Blossom Daily was born in Deca-
tur county, Iowa, April rs, 1885,
and died at her home in Westerville
May Is, 1913. Her entire life, with
the exception of four years during
which time the family resided in
Shenandoah, was passed in Decatur

Blossom was the youngest child Of
Philip and Sarah Daily. She was
loved and cherished by the older
ones in the home, with that love that
is always given the baby of a large
family She was always busy and
happy in her work, she delighted in
her domestic duties and was always
happy when her hands were occupied
with work. Her home was always
filled with flowers in which she took
special delight. March 5, 1904 she
was united in marriage to Thomas
Gilreath, whom death claimed, Feb.
IS, 1913.
Blossom had been in poor health
for the past three years, she bore it
all bravely asking God to permit her
to get we'll again, always saying;
mot my will but Thine be DONE
She was christened a member Of
the Presbyterian church at Shenan-
doah when a child, and passed to
the World Beyond with faith in God
and His goodness
She leaves three sister, Mrs. Lolita
Bradshaw of this county, Mrs. Bessie
Shaughnessy, of Springdale, Ark,

The clamor for law to regulate
every habit of mankind and every
evil that arises from the abuse of
things that are not in themselves
evil is rapidly subsiding. People
are rapidly learning that education
rather than coercive measures are
needed if the world is to progress
In speaking of this clamor for strict
er laws and more sumptuary legisla-
ton the Cedar Rapids Times says:
Eyes, stricter and stricter laws,
now and forever Tie every ones
hands and limit his liberties and his
personal responsibilities until all be-
come more and more like children
under a states guardianship, the
guardians being for the most part
politicians. And all because some
men are such fools that they do not
know what is proper for them. But
we fear, it will be discovered in the
end that with all our laws and regu-
latiOns there are some men who will
still find means to make fools of
themselves or to jump into the river
and some men left who are bound
to go to the devil, across lots or
through the air. Those who under
take to stand sponsor for all man
kind have undertaken a gigantic job,
for some men do not want to be TAX
en- care of. "-Exchange.

Des MOines Letter.

Des Moines, June 2:-The Re-
trenchment and Reform Committee
provided by the last legislature is
scheduled to meet the latter part of
this week or the first of next. The
time clocks voted to be installed in
the Offices at the last meeting have
not made their appearance. Officers
claim they have received no official
notice to install clocks and they will
not discuss the question as to wheth-
er or not they would obey until the
point is raised. This will probably
be taken up by this committee at this
meeting.
The Supreme Court meets next
week and at this meeting it is ex-
pected the decision will be given as
to the sufficiency of the petition for
saloons in Des Moines. All liquor
dealers in the capital city have for
