FEEDING WHEAT TO CHICKENS
Exercise Given Hens in Scratching
Out Grain Is Conducive to Egg
Laying at All Times.
ORr IL IL SIIEPARnN-


Last year. being short OF hay and
having only a small wheat crop, We
cut all our wheat with the mower and
put it up for hay, harvesting it few
days before the regular wheat harvest
ing time.
Our wheat hay stored in the barn
was fed to the horses from the time 1t
was harvested till late in the winter
when it was all used up. Incidentally.
1t proved to be one of the best horse
feeds we ever used But the chickens
had the run OF the barn and lots.
picking up and scratching out all scat
tered wheat
AS soon as our wheat was in the
barn and its feeding began, the hens
began Immediately to lay more eggs
than usual. They continued to lay
unusually well all summer, fall and
through the winter till the wheat-hay
was all fed out and gone. Within less
than week after this wheat-hay was
gone our hens dropped in their egg
yield noticeably and they did not come
back to a heavy yield in spring till We
reluctantly purchased wheat at $3.50
a bushel and began to feed this grain.

SOME TROUBLES OF TURKEYS
Common Cause of Disease Termed
Chicken Pox Is Overlooking With
Corn-It Congests Liver.

Turkeys are sometimes infected
with disease which might be termed
chicken pox-a condition in which tho
heads become covered with large yell
low sores, which discharge little
and form scabs, giving the birds a
most unwholesome appearance, writes
l. B. Henderson in Farm, Stock and
Home This is form of scrofula.
and it seems to spread from one bird
to another, so that 1T needs to be
dealt with on definite lines.
We believe common cause OF this
to be overlooking with corn, which.
In spite Of advice to the contrary, still
remains a favorite food for turkeys
with many farmers: but it overheats
the system, and, being Of starchy
nature tends to tOngest the liver even
of young stock. The blood in this way

plant from some other source. will
appear and will work untold mischief.
The only way to deal with this is
to separate the birds, battle the sores
as they appear with a fairly strong
solution of permanganate Of potash.
paint with disinfectant, dose the bird
with epson salts. and keep on fairly
low diet. Such a treatment will give
the bird setback so far as fieshing
In concerned, but it is absolutely
necessary to follow out such treat
ment if the trouble Is to be checked.

AS he passed in. his sword clanking
for he went in full dress uniform to
dine with the Marquise Esclignac-
he saw the picture the two ladies made
IN their drawins-room the marquise
in very splendid dress (Which he
never could remember) and her niece,
young LADY from a country whose
name it took him long to learn to pro-
nounce, in dress SO simple that Of
course he Lever could forget it. He
remembered for a great many years
the fall OF the ribbon at her pretty
waist, the bunch of sweet peas at her
glrdle, and he always remembered the
face that made the charm of the pic
ture.
Their welcome to him was gracious
an accent that Sabron thou. 1t be-
wildering'y charming, and he put aside
some of his reserve and laughed and
talked at his ease. After dinner (this
he remembered with peculiar distinct
ness) Miss Redmond sang for him. and
although he understood none of the
words Of the English ballad he learned
the melody by heart and it followed
with him when he left 1t went with
him as he crossed the terrace into the
moonlight to mount his horse; it went
homo with him; he hummed it. and
when he got up to his room he hummed
it again as he bent over the little roll
of flannel in the corner and fed the
puppy hot milk from quill.
This was painstakiAg operation
and required patience and delicacy,
both of which the big man had at his
tinger-tips. The tune of Miss Red
monds song did for lullaby and the
puppy fell comfortably to sleep while
Sabron kept the picture Of his eve
ning's outing contentedly in his mind.
But later he discovered that he was
not SO contented, and )unted the
hours when he might return.
He shortly made a call at the Cha
teau d'Esclignac with the result that
he had new picture to add to his col
lection. This time it was the picture
of lady alone; the Marquise d'Es-
clignac doing tapestry. While Sabron
found that r. had grown reticent
again. he listened for another step and
another voice and heard nothing; but
before he took leave there was hint
Of second invitation to dinner.
The marqCise was very handsome
that afternoon and wore We. another
bewildering dress. Sabron's simple
taste was dazzled. Nevertheless, she
made a graceful picture, one CT beau
ty and refinement, and the young SOL
der took 1t away with him. AS his
horse began to trot, at the end of the
alley, near the poplars at the lower
end of the rose terrace he caught
glimpse of white dress Undoubtedly
simpler dress than that wor- by
Madame d'Esclignac).

his correspondence. Among the let

Sabron looked at the letter and its
fine clear handwriting Its wording
was less formal than a French invita-
ton is likely to be. and it gave him
sense of cordially. He had seen,
during his rides. the beautiful lines

this night. 1t seemed too good to be
true, he thought that another picture
was to add itself to his collection. he
had mentally enjoyed the others
often, giving preference to the first,
when he dined at the chateau: but
there had been thrill in the second

dress down by the poplar walk.

The water trickled out from either
side of Pitchoune's mouth. The sturdy
terrier refused milk in all forms, had
done so since Sabron weaned him; but
Sabron now returned to his nursery

milk and, taking the quill, dropped a

Pitchoune's throat. Pitchoune swal

NEW OVERLAND
 GAR |S HERE

F.. B. Hutchins is walking around in a proud sort of a manner over the new fire he has set along Gasoline Row with the latest Overland car. Six of the new low priced OVerlands were un- loaded by the local Huntsman- Hotch- kiss agency Saturday, while many looked on with interest.
 Before the car had been in town an hour, dozens had called to look it over. The new Overland. selling at $750 at the factory came heralded with great publicity. and was well received here.
 In introducing the new line, Hutchins outlines new service system, cover ing not only the replacement of parts that may prove defective, but also the work of keeping cars adjusted. Service is rendered on a basis of 50 hours work and is limited to one year after date of purchase. With each new car goes for labor in items of one half and quarter hours.
 Incidentally. Hutchins gave away big secret. Hon WilIys has been hint ing around about new Overland line at a thousand dollars. and C. Y. Knight, who perfected the motor of that name hints at Knight -motored car at thousand dollars. That is as far as the dope goes from headquar- ters. but Hutchins is confident that the new overland will be a Wilys- Knight. The new low priced Overlands will sell here at $S60. .ss
