Postoffce Department Shows Interest
In Work of Inventors.

Since the addition of the parcel
post to the facilities of the p~ostoffice
department, the interest of the gov
eminent authorities has been direct
ed toward the necessity for superior
devices to be used in the distribution
of that class of mail, which has re-
suited in a particular interest in the
work of inventors. The inventor of
an article for use in the service does
not need to be a government employe
N order to have his invention con-
sidered.
The following from the Washing
ton office again calls the attention OF
postal employees and others to the
needs of the department, with the
suggestion as to the proper way OF
submitting their work:
Inventors of ~collapsible contain
ers or hampers, or other devices OF
like character, should consider the
fact that unless some idea of the ap-
proximate cost of the commodity car
be given to accompany samples sub
mitted, the department cannot figure
with any degree of certainty as to the
advisability of its adoption. Those

FATAL ACCIDENT
4. q. HAHN OF SIOUX FALLS
KILLED WHILE CLEAN
ING GUN.

Sioux Falls, July apparently a
victim of an accident, A. q. Hahn,
aged So years and a well known real
estate dealer of this city was instantly
killed at his home, 500 West Twelfth
street by the discharge of a shotgun
which blew off the top of his head.
Miss Marie Hahn, who had been i'll
in an upper room during the day, dis
covered the body of her father when
she went into the dining room to an
swer a telephone call.
1t is thought that the shooting oc-
cure dabout 5 o'clock, as the attend
ing physicians declared that death
had ensued shortly before the body
was discovered. Mr.. Hahn had spent
the day at home and it is thought he
had been cleaning and oiling his shot
gun when the accident occurred. a
soiled cloth which appeared to have
been used in the cleaning of the gun
and the fact that his hands were soil
ed with grease apparently from
cleaning the gun, led to the belief
that the shooting was accidental and
not a suicide.
Mrs. Hahn was visiting with rela-
tiyes at Brookings and the daughter,
! Marie. had been i'll in her room dur
| ing the day. Late in the afternoon
| she went into the kitchen and while
| she was there the telephone bel
rang. She went into the dining
room to answer the call when she dis
covered the dead body of her father
1.-THE girl had not heard the shot which

help and neighbors came. The cor
oner and physicians were summoned
and the body was removed from the
home. IS
Coroner Miller announced that ne
inquest would be held, as he was sat
isfed that the shooting was accident
al and that he would file a certificate
of death by accident.

10 years of age. was struck in the
eye and killed on the evening of July
4, by a skyrocket which was careless

 As this act is in the nature of compromise, its articles being selected from the proposals of several factions. it is quite likely that the farmers will endorse it.

FATTEN POULTRY BY
LOOSE-PEN METHOD
Plan Is Preferred for BroiIers or
CoCkereIS of Lighter Breeds,
Such as LeghornS.
Bv c. E. RROMNN


The loose-pen method of fattening
market chickens might be properly
described as the practice cf feeding
the birds in small yards or pens, in
lots of from twenty-five to fifty. We
prefer this method for broilers or
cockerels of the lighter breeds, such
as Leghorns, as they are very active
and are likely to be restless in the
crate. Our plan is to have a small
coop or shelter for roosting, with a
small yard attached; the whole struc-
ture being portable. Each morning
at feeding time the coop is moved
distance equal to its length, to give
clean floor for the chicks. Where the
coop is placed in an orchard or grove,
1t serves double purpose; for, besides
accommodating the chickens, II en-.
riches the soil. A coop large enough
for 80 broilers should be three feet
wide, six feet long, two feet high at the
back and three feet high at the front;
with three roosts running lengthwise.
The yard should be made of three
hurdles; two IL feet long and IS
inches high, one six feet wide, and a
large hurdle to cover the top to keep
the chicks from flying over.

ENGLISH TESTS IN
GROWING POTATOES
Department of Agriculture Re-
ceives Information of Tuber
Experiments Abroad.

Shortly before the commencement
of the European war, the department
of agriculture received a report from
England of tests made in the grow
ing of potatoes. In 1905 the use of
seed sizes ranging from IN to 11s
inches resulted in crops varying di-
rectly in total weight with the size
and weight Of the sets planted, but
more than twice as great a weight OF
diseased potatoes resulted from the
planting of the large sets. In 1906
and 1907 sets between IL and IL
inches, and those between ~ and "a
inches yielded crops averaging IL tons
and IL tons per acre, respectively. but
the weights of marketable produce
yielded were practically equal Po-
tatoes which had sprouted badly and
from which the sprouts were removed
before planting, produced somewhat
higher yields in four tests conducted
in three different years than did sound
unsprouted potatoes.

CLUBS TO PROTECT
THE USEFUL BIRDS
Movement Begun in New Hamp-
shire That Is Expected to
Spread Throughout Country.

BY arousing public interest in the
care OF birds in Meriden, N. H., a
small town, Ernest Harold Baynes
thinks he has begun a movement that
will spread throughout the United
States, with the natural result of wise
protective legislation which the people
will gladly obey. Already bird clubs
have been formed in six other New
Hampshire towns, six in Massachu-
sets, one in Vermont and one in New
York.
Starting with the idea that bird
wants are much like human wants
something to eat and homes-$200
was raised, in amounts from fifteen
cents to two dollars, to provide these
things in and about Meriden. A food
house was built, with a hopper roof"
of wood, an upper food tray inclosed
by four glass sides, and a lower food
tray which is open, the whole being
supported by a pole which runs to
the roof.
After the birds have eaten the con-
tents Of the lower tray, the more adj
venturous lead the way to the upper,
in which is kept permanent supply,
protected from wind and storms by
the glass and the roof. The boys and
girls of school look after the ar
rangements in winter.
Such food as suet, hemp seed, bread
crumbs and the like are fastened in
feeding boxes to the trees, so that the
birds can help themselves in time Of
need in winter. Window boxes made
of plain glass set in wooden frames,
with one side open, are also used as
food receptacles. A small farm has
been bought as bird sanctuary. Un.
der such kindly treatment the feath-
cred creatures are thriving, and they
have become surprisingly tame.
