GUlNEAS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Young Birds Must Be Watched Care
fully Until Past Tender Age-Of
Very Wild Nature.

Guinea hens are among the hardest
Of all birds to breed, chiefly because
the young guinea is SO extremely ten
der. They are also Of very wild
nature, and when one Of them Is lost
from the hen it may be counted as
lost 1t is advisable to keep the young
guineas shut up for few days after
they are Matched and feed them on
bread crumbs, coarse corn meal and
occasionally hard-boiled egg, ground
fine and mixed with the bread crumbs.
After they leave the hen, If the days
are warm and bright, they are allowed
to hunt bugs and worms and require
little feeding. After they are feath-
cred out they need little care, as they
are able to shift for themselves until
the winter cuts off their supply of
food.
In winter they must have a shelter
and be fed the same as other poultry,
but must be kept shut In when there
is snow on the ground, as they will
fly into the tops of trees or on roofs
Of buildings, and refuse to come down.

Of Sugar and Manufactured 27O0O0O0O Pounds of

Paid-An Interesting Statement.

ed is 100000 greater than the COM
bined capital of all the banks in the
city of Detroit.
Such are the figures with reference
to this seasons output of beet sugar
in Michigan Judging from the acre
age already contracted for next sea-
son next falls crop will greatly sur
pass this seasons output. When one
considers that this entire business
has been developed in Michigan with
in the past ten years, he begins to
comprehend the importance of this
industry TO the state If man is a
benefactor, who makes two blades OF
grass grow where one grew before,
certainly those men who, in a single
decade. have created an agricultural
and manufacturing industry, which
adds 100000 a year to the resour-
ces of the state, have reason to feel
proud of the results of their efforts.
Throughout the beet districts of
the state, farm mortgages have been
paid; farm buildings have been erect
ed bank accounts have been created;
land values increased; business condi-
tons improved, and general prosper
ity enhanced by this industry. No
one has been crippled, every citizen
of the state, whether he raises beets
or lives in the city, has been benefit
ted by virtue of securing his sugar
al a lower price than he would have
obtained it had not this industry been
established in Michigan The freight
bills paid by the Michigan sugar fac
tories to the railroad companies this
season, approximate $2,000,0O0. Col
lections throughout the beet districts
in every line of mercantile pursuit
have been improved by the distribu-
ton of this vast amount of ready
money within the borders of the
state
Aside from paying their full share
Of local and state taxes, the beet fac
tories of Michigan have been furnish
ing enough molasses TO a chemical
company, located at Bay City, to pro-
duce alcohol for the arts and sciences
which pays into the national treas
ury 100000 a year in internal rev.
enue tax.
From every factory good gravel
and stone turnpikes have been built
radating into the country, until in
the beet districts, we now have the
best highways found in the state.
Not least among the benefits deriv-
ed from the industry is the indirect
influence it exerts upon every other
agricultural crop. Instead of inn
poverishing the SOIL beets improve
its fertility. The system of rotation,
adopted by good beet farmers, has
resulted in increasing the yield of
oats, wheat, beans, potatoes, corn and
clover per acre. The land near the
beet factories, which ten years ago
could have been purchased for $50
per acre, now brings from $125 to
$3.50 per acre, and the rental values
have been increased proportionally.

The following statement of labor
performed and money paid for sugar
beets by the Michigan Sugar COM
pany appeared in Sundays Courier
Herald, credited to f. X. Hathaway,
secretary of the company. The item
said:--
when one reads that the sugar
factories in Michigan have, this sea-
son, sliced 1,150,O0O tons of beets,
for which they have paid the farmers
over $7O0O,O0O, and have produced
from these bcets from 260,000,000 to
2TO,OOOOOO pounds of sugar, the fig
ures convey very little meaning. The
average person fails to grasp the sig
mihcance OF such figures. If we were
10 translate these statistics into those
that one can more readily grasp, we
might say that if these beets used by
the factories in Michigan in making
sugar the past season, were loaded

Winter Feed for Poultry.

One Of the best and most relished
winter feeds for poultry Is cabbage,
says a writer In an exchange. Even
though there is an abundance of
other green vegetable matter,
should still strive to add some cab
bage to the list.
1t Is true that there is nothing
quite as good for the hens as a grow
ing crop, such as rye, over which they
can range and thus combine exercise
with food getting, and every effort
should be made to provide it, but
often space is too limited for such
crops, and dependence must be had
altogether on substitutes that can be
stored away.

in freight cars, with the minimum
load OF twenty tons to the car, they
would make solid train load of
beets $40 miles in length, or nearly
double the distance from Detroit to
Chicago If the money paid the far
mers for these beets was changed
into dollar bills, and these bills plac-
ed end to end they would cover con-
tinuously, the four rails of a double
track railroad from Detroit to Bay
City, and the two rails of a single
track railroad from Bay City to
MackInaw; or to use another illus
tration, the money paid Michigan
farmers this season for beets would
carpet % acre field with one dollar
bills.
If the coal used this season in the
sugar factories of Michigan was load
ed in cars with 80 tons to the car it
would make a continuous train load
of coal reaching from Detroit to
Jackson.
If the sugar made from these beets
was loaded in box cars, woth 10000
pounds to the car, it would make
continuous train load of sugar IS
miles in length, or if packed in bar
rels, and these barrels were placed

ChiIdren's Dresses.

The spring lines of colored dresses
for children consist largely of plaid,

Gales and other novelty fabrics, says
the Dry Goods Economist. Plain col
ored dresses in chambray, linene,

styles prevail. The Russian MILDLY

prime favorites. Loops and buttons

Especial Correspondence.)
BY j. w. HAM EN-.

Lansing, Mich, March AFTER all
the talk that has been heard about
taxation in Michigan and all the work
of the commission appointed to inves-
tigate, no general taxation bill has
yet been brought forth.
Senator Murtha has sent in the
most important taxation measure. It
provides for a separation of the land
tax and the improvement tax, and
gives the finest sort of an opportunity
to find out what is an equitable tax
upon real estate in given district
The plan is to assess in the cities
by the foot as a unit Of taxation.
Every foot front Of equal depth is to
be assessed at exactly the same fig
ure, regardless of the improvement

which will be without delay The
measure provides for the establish.
ment of q uniform text book system
throughout the state and making 1t
compulsory on every district, except
that districts may purchase the books
prescribed and furnish them free to
pupils. This action is in direct con
travention to the wishes of city
school boards, their request being
that cities having or establishing the
free text book system be exempt
from the provisions of the law.
Senate Approves Home Rule Bill.
Senator Verdier's home rule bill
was overwhelmingly supported in the
senate and passed that body in spite
OF attempted oratorical exhibitions.
The bill contemplates an amendment
to the present home rule law and pro-
vides piecemeal amendments and lib
eral municipal ownership clauses.
Senator Weadock of Saginaw was the
lone opponent of the measure, his
contention being against the immed-
late effect clause. He was effect
ually overruled and the bill was
passed carrying with it immediate
effect.
Members OF the house look favor
ably upon the proposition and it al
ready has such strong support that
It's passage by the house is quite
probable, although the Farmers cluh
of the legislature is against it and
will try to defeat it.

upon 1T. In the country the unit will
be the acre, unless it is subdivided,
when the init will be the foot. By
this means an equable tax is believed
to be available.
Just what the legislation on taxa
ton is to be, however, is merely a
matter of conjecture
Reapportionment Passes House.
One of the measures that promised
much controversy slipped through the
house with surprising facility, with
an ease that none suspected would be
possible. representative Catlin's con-
gressional reapportionment bill
passed by vote of SO to IA without
a word of argument. However, this
does not indicate easy sailing on the
remainder of it's career, as there are
changes predicted that may kill the
bill entirely before it gets through
the senate. Detroit is said to be sat
isfied with the measure and this is
given as one of the reasons for the
ease in which it passed the house
The senate may pass bill, but it will
be with pronounced changes.
Representative Districts Agreed to.
Unexpectedly the bill providing for
Encouragement of the representative
districts of the state went through
the committee OF the whole in the
house without any pickering or dis
cussion The bill raises the number
Of districts in Wayne county from
IA to IT, The action Of the house is
matter of surprise in face OF the
opinion Of the attorney-general that
the constitution prohibited the pass
age OF the law in its original form,
allowing 10 districts in Wayne, but
compromise to meet the objection
was made by uniting upon II districts
in that county.
State Health Department.
Senator Verne ANDERSON of Adrian
submitted a bill providing new state
health regulations which in it's pro-
visions incorporates the ideas OF
Prof " c. Vaughan of Ann Arbor
The bill represents a matter of four
years research, observation and study
on the part of the foremost health
authority in the state. II contem-
plates dividing the state into health
districts to comprise one county each
except in instances of exemption
Each district shall have health com
missioner, who shall be appointed for
a term Of four years and act as
county physician, the compensation
to be from $500 to $4,000 per year
according to population.
Uniform Text Book Bill.
What is sure to precipitate a fight
in the house is the Dunn-Young uni
form text book bill reported out by
the committee on education. This vex-
atious proposition is now where its
merits may be aired and it's dement's
overhauled, which is sure to result
when the bill comes up for action.

WAY OF SHIPPING
BREEDING FOWLS
Seller Should Find Cheapest
Route, Making Least Ex-
pense for Buyer.

The breeder who buys breeding
stock should state what express COM
pany he wishes the birds shipped by;
IL he doesn't SO state, the seller should
find out the cheapest route for the
shipment. If the consignment is
shipped over two lines, the charges
are higher than by direct route; It
is to the advantage of the seller to
make as little expense for the buyer
as possible. This means not only ship
ping by the cheapest route, but also

should be clean and light.
Valuable birds should be shipped

ments. Mark the address of the con-
signee plainly, and plan the shipment
so birds will not lay over Sunday In
the express office. or have long waits
on station platforms to make connec-
tons. The condition the birds are re-
ceived in largely determines whether
or not the customer is satisfied.

Marques Of Sligo in Indian Mutiny.
Lord Altamont, who, through the
death Of his aged father, the other
day, has become marques of Sligo,
was through the Indian mutiny. His
father, who was in the Indian civil
service, was stationed at Bankipur
when the mutiny broke out.
Lord Sligo's wife and infant son,
seven months old, the new marques,
were sent for safety to a place which
was surrounded by rebels for a fort
night. The child, however, was safely
taken through the sepoy lines by a
faithful Indian nurse, who dyed his
skin as ruse to pass him off as her
own son. A long time passed before
the boy was restored to his anxious
parents, who meantime had to 60
through a further siege at Monghyr.

While the farmer-poultryman at a
distance from the city has some adj
vantages over the near-city poultry
man, the latter is not as badly handi-
capped on his home acre as you might
think
The farmer can, of course, raise
most Of his feed, and his chickens have
plenty of room to rustic their food in
the fields, orchards, pasture and barn
yard, but on the other hand, the SUI
burban poultryman is much closer to
market and can take advantage of
rush orders from merchants either for
eggs or dressed poultry, and he is thus
In position to get top market prices
for the product of his fiocks
And the near-city poultryman can
get cheap feed IL he knows how, for
there is so much waste in cities in the
form of garbage, stale bread, butter
milk and skim milk. In city contain
ing number of bakeries a poultryman
can get large quantities Of stale bread
merely for hauling 1t away; or, IL he
pays for 1t, it will be only a nominal
sum.
All first-class bakeries sell only
fresh bread, so II they bake more
than they can sell each day they get
rid of it the following day In what,
ever way they can.
Each bakery has box located in
front of grocery stores which sell it's
bread, and before closing their doors
each evening these grocers put all the
bread on hand which they failed to
sell into these boxes, and next morn
ing, before the stores are opened. the
bakers carts come around and the
drivers open the boxes and take out
the yesterdays bread, If any, and leave
fresh bread
Then, after making the rounds OF all
the groceries, they take the old bread
back to the bakers, and 1t is gotten
rid of in different ways. Some bakers
give away quantities of bread to the
Salvation Army and other poor, chart
table or religious organizations and in
situations.
In baking some kinds of bread, rolls
or pastry, portion of this old bread
may be used again by drying 1t in an
oven, grinding it in a mill, mixing it
up and baking it again in some other
form.
But they can use only small por-
ton of 1t in this way. so the most of it
is either given away to poor people. or
else for chicken feed. hog feed or cat
tie feed.
A chicken raiser near city can
easily make arrangements to get SO
many hundred pounds of it each week
for his fowls, perhaps free. or. any
