DOINGS AT
STATE CAPITAL
Anti Liqour Forces at Work on
Several Bills

the first skirmish today in the fight
to reduce the number of saloons in
the state when the house accepted
the report of a majority of the tenn
perance committee fixing the limit
of one saloon to each one thousand
and increasing the saloon license fee
to $500. The bill was placed on
the calendar.
House Kills Amendments
The house killed the chances for
constitutional amendments to in
crease official salaries, and to bond
the state school lands for q loaning
fund, when they adopted adverse re-
ports Saturday The wolf bounty
people also secured relief from the
bill which sought to eliminate boun-
ties, through the adoption of an ad-
verse report, though Swanson made
a fight for an amendment to the re-
port.
On third reading the house passed
l02. providing an appropriation for
the Springfield normal; and killed
house 2S2, the insurance statement
repeal. They then took up Gnal &C
ton on senate bills, and passed sen.
ate bills 1877, authorizing counties to
appropriate money for county ex-
hibits at sCate fairs; SO, appropriat-
ing money for All elevator at the
state soldiers home; q, creating a
state free library board: 10, relat.
ing to succession and distribution of
estates; l0l, regulating admission to
the school for the blind: and house
killed senate is, regulating holding
court at other than county seat
towns.
Dance Bill Passes
The fracas which resulted after
the first reading of the dance bill in
the senate Tuesday is a closed chap
ter, expunged from the record, and
in all decorum the senate today
passed the dance bill prohibiting the
bunny hug. ct al. exactly as the
house passed it, 1t is now up to the
governor to sign, and the session
laws of 1913 will recall the fact in
! future years that there was such a
thing as the bunny hug" and
grizzly bear"
Petition to Amend Option Law
The liquor interests have filed pc,
titions for the referring of amend
ments to the present local option
law. The petitions are signed by
seventeen thousand voters. and are
the longest lists ever filed in the of,
flee of secretary of state.
Tn changes which they ask for are
that the license question, settled in
a community shall be considered
Sc tiled permanently except upon
petition asking for another vote on
the proposition, also requiring that
no votes shall be counted against
license unless actually voted that
way.

Kansas winter wheat crop In lS1;

Kansas winter wheat crop In 1918
which for quality the millers say
is the best they have ever ground,
was, according to Uncle Sans sta
t:stics, eighty-six and a han million
bushels. This Is fifty Per cent more
than was grown by any other state,
and worth in nearby markets about
$72, ,0OO,O 900. The Panama Canal haf
been a stupenduous undertaking for
a nation, yet here is a single Kan
sas wheat crop which by the time II
reaches the ultimate consumer, will
have been sold for considerably more
than half the cost Of the canal. In
Kansas more than a million acres Of
alfalfa was harvested, yielding an ex.
ira heavy first cutting, a fair sec
ond, and in many instances a third
and fourth, and the hay was worth
$14 to SIG per ton. The alfalfa seed
crop, the greatest in the history Of
the state, at IS to IS per bushel Is
a fortune in itself. The years sur
p,us products of the cows and hens
sold for nearly thirty one million dol
lars.

FARM !
POULTRY
ARRANGEMENT OF NEST BOX
Canadian Expert Recommends Use Of
Earth or Overturned sed, Covered
With Straw or Char.

A nest can be made out Of an old
box about II inches square and six
inches deep. Professor Graham Of the
Ontario Agricultural college recon-
mends that some earth or an over.
turned sod be placed In the bottom Of
the box, taking care to have the cor.
ners very full so that no eggs can
roll out from the hen and get chilled.
Next put on about two inches Of
straw or chat; and then put a few
earthenware eggs into the nest. Place
the nest In some pen where nothing
can disturb the hen, and put her on
after dark. Feed and water must be
within easy reach and a dust bath
should also be convenient. II the
hen is setting quietly the next day 1t
will be safe to put the eggs under
her"
Another nest box that has given
considerable satisfaction, Is made In
three compartments. A IL inch board
cut in three four foot lengths and one
used for the top, one for the back,
and the other for the bottom. The
partitions and ends are made Of the
same material cut In one foot lengths,
Along the front is a four inch strip
to keep in the litter. To this is hinged
Slated door, which. when opened
forms a platform in front Of the nest

ting the hen can be proceeded with 40
already described. These boxes may
be piled one above the other.
When the hens are let OF the nests
to feed, the doors Of the nest boxes
should be closed, which compels the
hens to remain on the floor until they
have had q chance to feed. The hens
will not return to the same nests, but
this is rather likely to be Of benefit
than otherwise. All hens do not set
at exactly the same temperature, and
an occasional change averages up the
temperature for all the settings Of
eggs.
No hen should be allowed to set, un-
less she is free from lice. The mac
tion of the bird Is conducive to rapid
multiplication Of any lice there may be
on her. These will make her irri-
table and a poor setter. In addition,
should she bring OF hatch In such a
condition, the chicks will be open to
infection. Dust the hen we'll with
flowers of sulphur or some other In
sect powder before setting. and again
a day or two before the hatch f1n-
ishes.
About the seventh day the eggs
should be tested, the infertile ones re-
moved, and the balance put back In
the nests. After testing 1t is usually
found that the eggs from four hens
can be put under three. This leaves
one hen with no eggs, and a new set
ting can be put under her.
When the chicks arrive two or three
patches can be put with one hen,
which leaves more hens at liberty to
sit, or II there is no more Matching
to be done they can be put back in the
laying pens.

DRY CLEANSING BEST
MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF
PREPARING cURRANTs.

Do Away With Much Of the TedL
ous Work Heretofore
Made Necessary.

This tresome work has been greatly
lessened by the introduction Of cur.
rants already cleansed and put up In
convenient packages, but many house
keepers, either from choice or necss-
Sity. use the currants which come In
bulk, and have not yet learned the
easiest way Of thoroughly cleansing.
Instead Of putting them directly into
water. q sort Of dry cleansing 70 .
great help in removing the grit and
other foreign substances. Put the cur.
rants In a squash strainer and sprinkle
them thickly with -four. Rub them
well between the palms Of the hands
until the punches are separated. and
the fine stems rubbed OF, then rub
them on the strainer till the -four, grit
and stems have passed through the
meshes. Then place the strainer with
the currants In a large pan Of luke
warm water and wash thoroughly.
Lift the strainer and currants To-
gether and change the water until
nothing more is washed from the fruit
and the water is clear. This IL much
easier than to leave the currants d.
rectly in the pan and simply pour OF
the water, for they are mixed with The
sediment
When the fruit IL clean and vel
drained turn 1t out between two tow
els and spread 1t apart, drawing the
perfect fruit to one end and carefully
removing any stones or poor trutt
which did not pass through the strain
or. Let them dry thoroughly In .
sunny or warm place. but do not hard
en- them by putting them In the oven.
When well dried put them In glass
