A SENSIBLE MoLr METHOD.

There was q time when poultrymen
experimental with their hens during
mott. They paid for secrets on how
20 make them mott quick and lay ear
", but this happens in the greenhorn
stage and has been so generally cut out
that those selling such gold brick ad-
vice have ceased to advertise. The
trick most generally tried was to starve
me hens down for a few weeks, just
feeding them enough to keep alive, and
then to rush rich feed into them, and
this was supposed to make them shed
old feathers quick and put on new
coat and lay in the twinkling of an
eve. Hens in a normal condition sim
ply need shelter from storm, rest from
annoying male birds and a nitrogen
Gus ration food rich in feather max
ing material.
We have found that 1t is not neces-
sary to feed any of the mott dope ad-
vertised or advised and so liable to
upset the digestion. Besides mixed
grain and mash, fresh cut bone and
green clover fill the bill and our hens
come through reasonably soon and go
to laying naturally.
The best bones are the soft bones
and ribs should not be cut, as the curly
slivers are apt to cut crop or gizzard.
Our place is surrounded by clover and
the hens eat it at will.
We find under this plan that the av-
erage duration of mott is as follows for
White Wyandottes: Yearlings. so
days; two-year-olds, 1902 days, and
three-year-olds JOG days
The mott proceeds naturally, old
feathers dropping and new plumage

A remarkable film, remarkably well
produced, with every attention to detail
that could possibly be thought of or that
could possibly have happened was shown
at the Battle of Gettysburg at the Dream
land theater last night. Those who have
read history and the story of the Battle
Of Gettysburg are well acquainted with
the death and destruction that followed
the beginning of that three days battle,
on July 1. 1863.
1t was the awful reproduction of a
fight that within three days took as its
toll the lives of more than thirty-five
thousand men. 1T was a story of the
~ierceness of war intertwined here and
there with a story of love.
Most awe-inspiring was the charge Of
Pickett's ~men-those hundreds running a
distance Of a mile and a quarter TO their
almost absolute destruction. under the
delusion that the federal guns had been
silenced and that the capture Of the fed
eral position was possible.
The picture was a most wonderful re-
production of that fateful battle in the
hills Of Pennsylvania.
IT was made up Of five reels and was
produced near Gettysburg with the aid Of
several thousand militia men. a number
Of professional moving picture actors and
under the Guidance If direction of sew
eral experienced military leaders. The
picture was probably the most expensive
that has ever been shown i'm Brownsville.
Manager Sheppard IF the Dreamland
theater was rewarded for his enterprise
by a very large attendance to see the fam
GUS picture last night.
