MORE WINTER EGGS
STATE COLLEGE TELLS HOW TO
GET THEM IN COLD
WEATHER.

From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and from
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Western New paper Union News Service
Brookings. you want your hens
to lay eggs in winter, two things are
necessary: Initiate spring conditions
in nature, as closely as possible, with
food and environment, and get the
birds away from hereditary tenden-
cy OF laying only in spring by breed
Ing and selection. This suggestion
is made 20 poultry breeders by Wilson
Cramer, the new instructor in poultry
culture at the South Dakota State
college. He adds further:
DO not expect large winter egg re-
turns from last years hens. A hen
goes into mott late in summer and fall,
and ceases to lay while growing plum
age. Therefore. old hens rarely pro
duce many eggs during the months
of November, December and January.
1t is from ppullets, then, that winter
eggs should be expected. In order
for them to fulfill this expectation,
early Matching is necessary. Pallets
should begin to lay in November, and
II given the proper care will continue
TO lay oil winter.
"In giving this care it is we'll to re-
member that anything that adds to
their comfort and cOntcntment is con-
duciye to egg production The laying
hen must be provided with comfort
able, sanitary quarters and must have
an abundant supply Of nutritious, pal
atabe food. The egg represents part
Of the life cycle of the hen. In the
wild state this life went on only for
short time in the spring and early sum-
mer its purpose being simply the
perpetuation of the race. Thus it may
be easily seen that winter egg laying
is contrary to the customs Ond pUr-
poses Of nature. For this reason the
hen keepers most difficult problem
is to induce the hen to lay at all
times duriDg the year"

Hansen on PLANTING Trees.

Brookings. The native white elm
and blackberry are recommended by
Prof. n. J.. Hansen for street planting
in u recent letter TO a Miner county
correspondent, who also desired to
know where good street trees might
be obtained. Prof. Hansen's reply fol-
lows: The native white elm and
blackberry are two trees much favored
for street trees. The native ash does
not get so large and is very drOuth
resistant. The box elder gives dense
shade, but needs much attention in the
early years to prevent too struggling
and crooked growth The quickest re-
suits come from the cottonwood, but
after some years they get too large
and give little shade The old trees
twenty TO twenty-five years old on the
streets of BrOOkingS are now gradual.
ly giving way TO other trees such as
the elm. The question of what trees
to plant is somewhat question of
personal preference. Personally, the
native South Dakota blackberry is one
| like very much because it does not
get as large as the elm and is more
compact in habit. 1t also endures con-
siderable drOuth. However, the native
white elm is probably the most popu-
lar shade tree we have On the very
dry hills probably nothing endures
better than the native ash.

By JAMES M. SEMPLE.
Advertising Manager of j. M. High Company.

FORTY years ago each
community had its
store, each one sepa-
rate and distinc THE
butcher, the grocer, the tai
Tor, the shoemaker, the Jew
eler, the tinsmith, and SO on
each one as distinct as two
homes. 1t was up in the
morning at 4:30 and sweep
out, and there were no hours
for closing until the mer-
chant got so tired and sleepy
he wanted to lie down on
the counter, and often he
did. Many a one has slept
on the soft side of a bale of
cotton muslin.
If a customer came from
the country, he shopped or
traded all about in the diff
ferent stores, and carried his
goods to his wagon, which
was in the main street or at
the market house. There
were cheap hotels about
which fed him at dinner
time. ALI goods purchased
were bought to keep: there
were no thoughts of ex-
change or rectifcation if
they did not suit or fit.
In those days often a
clean swap was made be-
tween buyer and seller of
their different kinds of arti-
cles. Candles were made at
home and brought to town
to exchange for jeans, wa
terproofs, or thread. So
things went along; the
prices of calicoes II 1-2c to
l5c a yard, bleached and
unbleached cottons zoe a
yard (yard wide), silks SIS a
yard, and a luxury.
Old-Time Handicaps.
When a woman got a silk
dress in those days it was
talked about and shown for
miles around. Tea was So
a pound, good tinware 800 to
500 per cent higher than
now. There were no fast
black stockings, and the
kind in bundles of bleached
and unbleached had seams
in them big as a rope.
People lived under a ter
rible handicap, yet they
went along the even tenor of
their way.
By and by such stores
as Mays in New York,
Wanamaker's in Philadel-
phia, and lehman Of the
Fair in Chicago, commenced
adding other different lines
to the dry goods end. In
stead of having one store of
dry goods, trimmings, find
ings, ETC., they had two or
three stores all under the
same roof.
The public gradually rec
ognized it's convenience, and
thus they grew year by year
with constant additions, I'M

til everything one could
think of was under one roof
from a paper of pins to an
anchor.
Buying in Quantity.
Buying in immense guam
titles prices were lowered
far below what the single
store could sell them at.
The newspapers became a
great factor in displaying in
their pages the endless lines
kept In the department
store. They have been crit
icised and often abused in
some localities, but yet have
always maintained the sup
port of the buying public
who could not and would not
give them up. Whyf because
of the lowered cost of every
thing and the wonderful con-
veniences.
SO to-day we have the
modern department store,
and through its constant
daily publicity, it is always
regarded as on a par with
the best of banks as to integ-
rity. Goods bought which
are not satisfactory may be
returned. The buyer has all
the advantages.
On a rainy day, think,
you can start purchasing
goods for every part of the
home, for the person, and
for. the table, all under one
roof. They are delivered to
your door, and the transac-
lions are completed with the
utmost dispatch.
Adding New Sections.
The very latest additions
to the department store have
been the foods and articles
needed in the kitchen uses.
A wonderful adjunct, too,
for the handling of pure
foods in big lots, with the
lessened cost, has made such
sections of the department
store the one great dependa-
BILE quantity to every house
holder.
Where is the community in
all this country who would
do without the big stores all
in one? It would be as lost
as if there were no newspa-
pers, electric lights, tele-
phones or electric cars.
Twenty, forty, sixty depart
ments, including the pure
food store, are just as easily
handled in one big building
as though it were one TWEEN
ty-foot shop.
The savings in rent, heat,
lighting and other inciden-
tails make possible the les
sened cost of all goods. The
great makers and builders of
pure foods want their whole
and complete lines to-day in
the modern department
store, and it has come to
stay.

The Poets and Peace.
rom the New York Times.

r
There Is an old and highly respect
able dictum. the exact language OF
which we don't recall. to the general
effect that great poetry must be con-
ceiyed in heat but wrought In coolness
and patience. The outbreak In verse
Of tho English poet laureate and Of
Mr.. Stephen Phillips discloses the per-
lis that lie in wait for writer's who
violate this rule.
Mr.. Bridges. the laureate is pretty
near inarticulate under the stress Of
his passion:
Up. careless. Awake!
Ye peacemakers, hghti
England stands for honor,
God defend the right
This is disagreeably near doggerel
so far as concerns the verse making,
and certainly 1t is without distinction
as to sentiment or doctrine. The
..peacemakers'' of England have not
been careless or sleepy. They have,
on the contrary. been extremely
watchful and alert. They have been
as sensitive to the demands Of true
honor. and as loyal to the right as
they saw 1t. as any bellicose poet of
scold at them because they tried to avert
q terrible disaster, and 1t adds insult
to injury to do II in such poor verse.
Mr Phillips tribute to Belgium is,
in feeling, much better than the lines
Of the laureate. but he. too. would have
done better to wait until he could
range and coordinate the metap hors
that tumble over each other in his
verse
