DROWNED MAN FOUND LIVING

Records Show that James McKlnnon
is Dead, But He is Very Much Alive.
Spokane, Wash, July 9.-Supposed
to have been drowned, identified, bur-
ried and the grave marked by tomb
stone, James McKinnon the owner
of a 7OO-acre ranch near Hartline,
Wash, a large ranch near Red Deer,
Alberta, and a substantial bank de-
posit. appeared in Spokane today to
the surprise of his friends and ac-
auaintances. Since the report OF his
death and funeral got abroad, he has
been having a distressing experience
in establishing his identity.
A man of McKinnon's size was ta-
ken from the Spokane river on NO
vember of last year. The body was
positively identified as James Mc-Kin-
non by d. ]. Leahy,, 40S Sinto Ave,
according to the records. H. H. Hut
ton. 20 Main avenue, was not so sure,
although the dimensions of the men
were not unlike. A laundry mark, y.
Mex" found on the underwear of the
dead man seemed to clinch the con
clfsion, and the body was given a
respectable burying in Fairmount Gem
etery as James McKinnon, ranchman
and depositor.
Through the papers James Mckin
non learned at his ranch in Alberta
that he had been drowned and buried
Distressed by the circumstances, II
which he foresaw a distribution o
his estate and his reduction to con
dition of poverty, he FASTENED iron
his ranch, which is remotely situated
to the nearest telegraph office.
He started in a blizzard and wa
halted by having his feet frozen. Fo
many weeks he lay at ranch hous
under the care of strangers before h
could resume the journey. In IN
meantime an inquiry that suggeste'
doubt of his existence came from
Spokane bank. When he had salts

Regarding Local Option.

Oklahoma City, July 9.-That the
initiated bill proposing an amend
ment to the state constitution pro-
viding for local option to take the
place of statewide prohibition will
receive the necessary number or sigh
ers before the time to stop circula-
ton for signatures, was the state
ment Wednesday of Henry Crosby,
chairman of the committee in charge
of circulating the petition.
Workers are operating in nearly ev-
ery county in the state, according to
Crosby, and reports at local option
headquarters show that nine-tenths OF
the voters of the state are willing TO
sign the petition, and that the meas
ure will be adopted by Oklahoma
City voters three to one. 1t is de-
clared that no organized opposition
of any consequence has been made
against the measure.
"Requests are coming every day.
said Mr. Crosby, from towns ana
cities all over the state to be sup
piled with petitions and workers, and
men are being sent out every day to

New Shell Bursts In Air.

A French army man has invented
a shell which, when fired from a To-
caliber cannon, will explode in the air
instead of having to come In contact

POULTRY
POULTRY FOR 1HE FARMER

Farming may be divided into two
classes: The specialist and the gen.
eraI The specialist may consist OF
single crop or it may be two. these
the farmer devotes his entire time
and energy to. We have the fruit,
berry, alfalfa, cattle, truck, poultry
farmer. each of these being special
lied by the different farmers.
The general farmer has variety for
his crop. 1t may consist of grain,
fruit, hogs, few COWS. few hives
of bees and some poultry.
On the farm OF the specialist as
we'll as on the farm OF the general
farmer is to be found tiocks of poul-
try, ranging in numbers of from
dozen TO several hundred head.
The 1910 census tell US that the av
erage egg yield per hen found on
both classes of farmers is 80 eggs.
But on the farmer that makes egg
farming his speciality the average
yield is ITO per year per fowl.
Here we have a difference of two
and one half dozen eggs in favor of
the egg farmer. There must be a
reason for this difference and there
are several.
First the egg farmer keeps better
stock; second, be feeds better; third.
he houses and cares for better, and also
he obtains higher price for his
products by giving the marketing end
some care that the other class of
farmers pay but little attention to.
There is one happy thought through
it all, however, that as we travel mile
after mile through the farming dis
tricts, we can easily see that all

EGG LOSSES DURING HOT WEATHER

Statistics show that during the
summer months from one-fourth to
over half of the eggs produced
are total or partial loss, reports the
Missouri Station.
Heat is directly or indirectly re-
sponsible for loss in that state of
two and half million dollars worth
of eggs annually. Heat causes germ
growth, embryo and mould develop
ment, increases evaporation and
causes eggs to become bad in very
short time.
Nearly all of the loss in eggs due to
heat can be avoided by the ordinary
conveniences that the average farm
provides. lie farmers would take the
same care of eggs that they do of but
ter before and during the time it is
taken to market, there would be
practically no loss from heat. Any
temperature above 10 degrees is too
warm.
Eggs should be collected daily and
should be cooled as quickly as pos
sible. A sweet, fresh basement which
is cool makes satisfactory place to

classes of farmers are giving the mat
ter of poultry more thought than did
they few years ago. Better stock
and better houses are to be seen now
on most all farms. AS the farmer
visits his agricultural fair and poul-
try show each year he easily becomes
interested, as he gazes upon the fine
specimens of the different breeds of
poultry he finds on exhibition at these
places. And as he goes back to his
home and looks over his own flock,
deep down in his own heart he soon
realizes that a flock of mongrels of
all colors. sizes and ages are a dis
gushing sight to behold, and it is
then and there that the seed of dis
content is sown which ripens into the
gradual selling off of the mongrel
flock and replacing them with fowls
of quality and of one breed. From
his farm papers in the part devoted
to poultry does be learn much that
he applies to better feeding, housing,
care and marketing of his products.
While successful poultry raising has
become an exact science, there are
no hidden secrets. The love of the
beautiful and the application OF COM
mon sense is all there is to it.
Any farmer that will devote a little
common sense to his poultry can
clear a silver dollar from each layer
per year, providing he has liking to
some extent for poultry. On most
farms it is quite possible to grow
either an acre of alfalfa or clover.
If this acre be handled right it will
support 500 laying hens and never de-
stroy the green food grown upon it.
This acre will return $500 then. In
this short article the writer will not
attempt to tell how this $500 can be
made, but it can be made on most all
farms and is being made right now
by quite few. There can hardly be
found a crop that will give the large
returns at as little labor required as
poultry will providing conditions are
made correct in the start and then
all future details attended to as they
should be. There are some that will
doubt this statement, giving as their
reason that if this large return could
be obtained from a single acre the
poultry business would soon be over
done. Let me say in conclusion that
all farmers do not like poultry and
that all farmers are not successes as
farmers, but $500 net can be made
from single acre from poultry by
those that will.

HAND VS.. ENGINE POWER.

Conditions at the present time are
such that no man, no matter how
good he may be physically, can afford
to pit himself against gas engine or
other form of economical motor in
doing any work that can be done by
the engine. IL there is surplus hu-
man energy to be dissipated it GER
tainly can be used to better advan-
tage when directed to the accomplish
ment of some purpose requiring the
CO. operation of brain with muscular
force rather than to be expended on
snch labor as turning a crank or
working a pump handle. 1t may be
interesting to look at some costs for
hand labor as compared with any
standard internal combustion engine.
The easiest example to use for this
comparison is the pumping of water
and the example which is probably
most interesting is the average we'll
pump for farm and household pur-
pose.
Using single acting cylinder three
inches in diameter with seven-inch
stroke and lifting water against
total head of 60 feet and operating
at 40 up strokes per minute. the work
would be such that husky man
would be glad to quit in very short
time.
Under these conditions the water
lifted would be SO gallons per hour
or 1880 gallons in eight hours and the
horse power in water lifted would be
slightly over one-tenth one horse
power and the actual power required
to drive the pump would be less than
one-half horse power. To produce
this power a one and one. half horse
power engine should use about one
half pint of ordinary engine distillate
per hour or one half gallon in an eight
hour run. If the distillate costs 10
cents per gallon at point where it is
used, then The cost for pumping $40
gallons would be only about six
tenths of one cent and for pumping
1880 gallons would be five cents
What is eight hours of a mans time
worth?
This one example that the writer
has chosen as basis for comparison
is less favorable for the engine than
almost any other pumping conditions
but it is probably sufficient to illus
trate the advantages of using an en-
CINE for such work as it can do and
the saving of human energy for better
and more profitable purposes.

KEEPING THE LITTERs APART
Few Of Stronger Pigs Make Remark
able Growth by RobbIns Young
sters of Their Nutriment.

II is certain that no one shelter
house is big enough for two filters Of
pigs. SO, far as ground space, venti-
lation and bedding is concerned: there
may be room enough and to spare, but
that does not mean that the two lit
tiers or more will be able to get along
and do well when kept together
Where you are keeping a number
Of sows and their litters together in a
pen, a lot or a shelter, II becomes a
struggle for the survival of the flttest.
The little fellows and those inclined
to be weaklings get the worst Of It..
They are half starved In many in
stances.
You begin to wonder what Is the
matter with the majority Of the pigs
In the filters. A few OF the stronger
ones seem to be making a remarkable
growth. and II you observe them for a
day or two you will see Just why.
They are robbing the other youngsters
Of their nutriment.
The sows are unable to prevent 1t.
The stronger pigs will nurse from a
half dozen sows II there are that
many In the Enclosure. The sows may
get up and walk away and try to get
rid of these pirates, but that will not
prevent them.
In every bunch of pigs kept in the
same lot the strongest ones are GER
tain to get a great deal more than
their share of the milk. AS they get
bigger they get holder and they nurse
impartially from every SOW in the lot.
They will run from one SOW to an
other, roofing away the weaker pigs.
