AS to the comparative merits of wet
and dry mashes there will always be
difference of opinion but the

in majority. Prof. Lippincott con-

the winter; and beyond question it
is great labor saver wien hopper

in full swing once more. Experts
declare that many more chicks are
murdered every season than are
raised to maturity. The causes are
without number. One reason for the
death of many of them is the ambi
tion of the inexperienced poultryman
to raise an excessive number of pull
let's. 1t is not an unusual thing to
hear some person new to the business
talk airily Of raising a thousand or
two thousand laying pullets the first
season. OF course few, ii any, OF
them realize their ambition but many
attempt it and the result is generally
an enormous increase in the death
rate. | don't think that any person
without previous experience should
try to raise a thousand pullets the
first season. The chances against
success are too many.
Few enterprises call for such in
tense care and vigilance, coupled
with such long hours Of work, as
chick raising. A single oversight
may ruin the whole brood and cause
the total loss of weeks of hard work
besides wrecking the coming season IS
business. SO it is not wise to under
take to raise too many. Any one who
manages to raise four or five hundred
pullets in his first season as a poul-
try raiser is doing mighty we'll.
Two poultry raisers OF. my acquaint-
ance who are very successful in
brooding chicks, feed curdled milk
to considerable extent. The chicks
are very fond of it and make a splen-
did development. Curds are fine
food for fowls of all ages and there is
nothing better for layers. One man

The building season will soon be

ton. The best thing in the way of
chicken house that I have heard of
recently is one built by California
poultry raiser to house 400 laying
hens and to keep them confined in
doors all winter. This house has a
concrete floor in which the stills and
joists are imbedded, the builder hap
pening to have plenty of good sand
and gravel nearb by at no cost except a
short wagon haul. The house is 20
feet wide and 20 feet long, seven feet
high at sides, from sill to plate, and
with a quarter pitch roof. The sides
are boarded up solid for height OF
four and one half feet from floor. the
remaining two and one-half feet to
roof plate is an opening covered by
wire netting and this opening ex
tends the whole length of the house;
in fact it extends all around the
house but it is covered by movable
shutters on one side and end. The
roosts are in the center. Four of
them one foot apart and 30 inches
from the floor extend the whole
length of building. L almost forgot
to state that board floor is laid over
the concrete. This concrete floor
would be found too expensive for
most of us, but the wooden floor
alone should be sufficient.

WESIERNER WILL
 GROW CATTLE HERE
N. R. Boyce of Wyoming Purchases the Ben McKen-
 zie Place for $16,000.

The Ben Mckenzie place, near Cornerstone, comprising 1047 acres, was yesterday sold for $16,000 to N. R. Boyce of Cheyenne, Wyoming, who pans to grow livestock on an eXtens- i've scale.
 About 400 acres of the tract is cleared, the remainder being in tim her but suitable for grazing purposes at most seasons. The soil is referred to as "buckshot' and is especially adapted to alfalfa and other hay and forage crops. The construction of a drainage system in that part of the Cou nty, will make of the place ono of the most desirable pieces of prop orty in Jefferson county and those who know land values consider that Mr. Boyce secured bargain.
 MT. Boyce, who is graduate of the University of Michigan, has been as sociated with a brother in the cattle business in Wyoming for several years. He departed for that state yesterday afternoon, expecting to re- turn early in 1915 and take charge of the place. He believes conditions here ideal for livestick, and will begin immediately to prepare the land he has purchased for planting to alfalfa, grain. peas and forage crops. Even- tually he plans to grow hogs on a large scale, but will defer this ven- ture until Arkansas is out of the quarantine district.
 The land purchased yesterday by MT. Boyce is part of tract that was once in the hands of Sheriff Williams grandparents, who located there in the early part of the last century. These 1O47 acres comprised about one-third of the original tract, which was inherited by the sheriffs mother through her brothers dying without children.

THE LITERACY TEST.

The literacy test remains in the immigration bill now before congress. It should be eliminated. Some of Americas best families are descended from people who could neither read nor write when they first landed on cur shores. Also, there are many good
 people in the United States today who could not successfully pass the literacy test intended for immigrants. This is not intended as defense of illiteracy, but it does not seem just to exclude fro mthe United States good, industrious folk simply because they cannot pass an educational test de- vised by highly educated men. Better that the immigration authorities should be directed once again to de- vote themselves to ascertainiEg if the applicant for admission is honest, free of contagious disease and inn bued with desire to make something of himself. The literacy test may keep out a few criminals from Sicily and perhaps some ignorant Japs and Chinese. but 1t will also keep out

CHAPTER 9. Am I not an apostle? am l not free have ] not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my works in the Lord?
 2. If be not an apostle unto others yet doubtless l am to you: for the seal of mine apOstleship are ye in the Lord.
 3. Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
 4. Have we not power to eat and to drink?
 about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Vephas?
 G. Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
 '. Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth q vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock. and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
 8. Say these things as man? or saith not the law the same also?
 9. For it is written in the law Of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the OK that treadeth out the corn. Doeth God take care for oxen?
 10. Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt this is written: that he that ploweth should blow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
 II. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, it is great thing if We shall reap your carnal things?
 12. If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things. lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
 13. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
 IA. Even so hath the Lord ordain~ ed that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

1 b. But I have used none of these things: neither have l written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, | than that any man should make my | glorying void.
 16. For though I preach the gos- Del, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gos pei.
 IT. For if I do this thing willingly, l have a reward: but if against my Will, "a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
 IS. What is my reward then Verify that, when preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ with out charge, that I abuse not my pow CT in the gospel.
 19. For though I be free from all men. yet have 1 made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
 20. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
 21 To them that are without law as without law, (being not without law of God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law;
 22. To the weak became l as weak, that I might gain the weak: l am made all thingk to all men, that i might by all means save some.
 23. And this 1 do for the gospels sake, that might be partaker thereon with you.
 "A. Know ye not that they which run in race run all, but one recelv- eth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
 25. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain corruptible crown; but we are lncor- ruptible.
 26. I therefore so run, not as un- certainly; so fight l, not as one that beateth the air:

IMPROPER FLAGGING.

Were you ever on the rear coach of train when it stopped half way between stations?
 If you were, you saw flagman run along tire track from the rear. II it was in the daytime, he carried a red flag; if at night, red lantern.
 His duty was self-evident-to stop another train that might be following from pumping into you.
 The flagman has become the goat of the railroad business. No more gre the majority of railroad wrecks due to the engineers ignoring danger signals or passing stop-signals.
 The majority of railroad wrecks now are due to improper Tagging. The interestate commerce commission says so, and it's business is to find out.
 Tagging trains properly is one of the elementary rules of railroading; perhaps that is reason why it is so easily overlooked. Men so easily for get elementary rules in nearly every thing.
 But a lot of things hinge on the ob. servance of elementary rules, and Il the railroad business it means the difference between life and death to passengers.
 American railroad victims are growing less, however. That is a gooi sign. In the last fiscal year there were only 169 persons killed and g. 134 injured; this in 63 train accidents.
 Good railroad flagmen-not over worked until they are too tired to do their duties efficiently and consci- entiously-will further reduce the number.

 ROSpERITY
JUSTICE AND RED TAPE.

It sounds like Joe Miller joke, but it is matter of record. asserts the Beaumont Enterprise, that defendants indicted in the New Haven conspiracy case have appeared in court, in per < son Or by their attorneys, and pleaa- cd for a setting aside of the indict- ments on the ground that in drawing the grand jury that brought the in- dictment the names were put into the box by the deputy clerk instead of by the clerk.
 In refusing to, interfere in the Frank case a Justice of the supreme court expresses doubt as to Frank having had a fair trial, but leaves him to his fate because of certain legal technicalities.
 The trial judge in the same case de- elares that the evidence failed to con- vince him of the guilt of the accused man, but the jury was judge of tho facts in the case and tho trained jurist could not interfere.
 A Missouri thief is discharged from custody because the prosecutor in drawing the indictment failed to use the precise language of the statute in describing the theft as "felonious."
 The Arkansas supreme court a couple of years ago granted a new trial to man convicted of murder in Miller county because the indictment did not state that the gun with which the victim was shot and killed had been loaded with powder and ball. The murderer then pleaded guilty to second degree murder, and is in tAe penitentiary.
 A negro commits a horrible crime and a notoriety-seeking lawyer offers to defend him. He finds numerous technicalities that delay execution o! the law indefinitely and the comma- nifty finally loses patience and takes the law into it's own hands.
 The next time similar crime oc- CUTS, the courts have no chance to sjuggle with justice, and the world holds up it's hands with horror at the barbarity of lynch law.
 The fault is mainly with our sys- tenn of procedure. We worship red tape and senseless technicality, losing sight of justice in the meantime. We need wise revision of codes and pro- cedures that will keep in mind tn prompt, efficient and cheap admin istratiOn of justice.
