Steamboat Springs, Colo,
Jan. IL, 1914 Dear friends:
We just returned from giving
q concert here, one of the most
successful Of the season so far.
Every seat in the house was
sold and standing room too.
We are surely having fine audi
ences here in the west.
This is a lovely little city, a
summer resort, and / think it
must be a beautiful place in
summer. 1t is entirely sur
rounded by the mountains and
there are seventy five hot sui
phur spring here. We have
been booked along this Moffatt
road for this last week and have
had some interesting times.
You perhaps read in the pa
pers of the big strike among the
coal miners at Oak Creek Colo.
They have had a very bad time
there. The town has been un-
der martial law with seventy
five militia men there for two
weeks. So it was with many
misgivings that we started for
Oak Creek. However the citi-
zens say that the strikers seem
to stand in awe of the uniforms
and they have had no trouble
since the militia arrived, up to
that time they tell US that no
person could go on the street at
night without being assaulted
and the women could not even
go out during the day.
We we're booked to drive
overland thirty miles from Oak
Greek to Hayden, but bed
blizzard came up and the con-
mittee men said it W uld be as
much as taking our lives in our
hands, to attempt it, so Miss
Bates decided we would not at
tempt it, altho' we hated to miss
the date.
We remained at Oak Greek
and the K. of P. lodge commit
tee came over ard requested
that we give another concert
that night We gave one and
'afterward they re quested Miss
Langam violinist, and Miss Hat
field to play for a dance. Miss
Bates and | had a chance to en-.
joy ourselves very much. They
were a fine crowd of people
like all the K. of P.'s, and had 9
lot of the officers cf the militia
over and surely treated us roy
ally.
We are having a fine trip
and the weather has been love.
ly, altho' there is quantities Of
snow the air is warm, ard it is
constantly thawing. 1t rained
very hard yesterday most of
the day.
| must close and retire as we
have q long trip and a sixteen
mile stage. coach drive before
US.
Hoping your business is pros
pering, l would like very much
to drop into the Palm tonight.
Very sincerely Yours,
SaydeL Briggs.

FoRTY-sEvEN EGGS
 HIGH FOR WEEK.
Rhode Island Reds and Leghorns Tie
 For First.

Tn the forty-fourth week of the lay ing contest at Storrs the honors were almost evenly divided between the heavier breeds, and the Ieghorns- A. B. Brumdage's pen of Rhode Island Reds from Danbury, and Lncolnss Leghorns from Mt. Carmel. tied for first place with forty-seven eggs each. Merrythought Farms White Wyan- dottes from Columbia, won second place with a yield of forty-six. eggs, while Barron,s English Leghorns tied with Geo. A. Cosgroye's West Wiling ton, with forty -fcur eggs each.
 The total yield of all pens amount ed to 2,33S eggs or 52S less than the proceeding week This is an average of 334 eggs a day from the SEQ hens or "a yield of about A per cent which is considered good laying when it is remembered that-th hens are near ing the end of their years work and that the mo1ting season is now on. During the week ninety-one birds : were marked up as molting. In one pen of PIy1n nouth Rocks alone six birds had begun the business of she'd ding their old feathers and growing new ones.
 Cool nights and mornings are con ducive to what poultrymen call fall colds Perhaps one of the prime causes of this trouble with the grow ing stock is poor ventilation in the sleeping quarters. This matter of fresh air is not infrequently overlook ed because of the fact that as the and put oue on range quarters they doubtless have lots of room and lots of air. Meanwhile it is forgotten that they are more than twice as crowded as they were formerly even though there are the same number of chicks in the same house. Thus the birds crowd ein at night, sweat more or less, go out in the early morning and become chilled, as a re- suit of which there is a rattling in the throat and if considerable care is not used roup will result. In discussing I this matter at the annual convention of Connecticut po111trymen Mir. Bar ron suggested the following remedy and said that 1t had been used with much success in England: Roup Powder.

 Sulphate of Iron CCopperas) 80 parts I Sulphur 14.0 parts l Ground Ginger, s.5 parts bOxide of Iron 1Rouge)4 10 parts I The method of administration is to I give one tablespoonful for each ten I or twelve birds daily in the wet mash i and continue this for a, week or two
