ESSENTIAL FOR LAYING HENS
It 10 Of Much Importance That Ample
Supply Of Grit and Lime Be Kept
Before Fowls Always.

A poor hen never lays. She must
have surplus fat to make the yolk.
The old theory that hens do not lay
because they are too fat is no longer
believed, as 1t has been found out
that as the yolk is composed Of fat, 1t
follows that she must have more fat
than she needs to keep up her condi-
tion to produce eggs.
But unless you keep them supplied
with something with which to grind
up their food in order to make 1t into
eggs, all your grain and labor are an
absolute waste. They must have grit,
good. sharp grit. Keep a box filled
and always before them of cracked
china. sand and oyster shells. OF equal
parts.
Lime, too, is quite as necessary. as
the shell of an egg is composed Of
lime. A box of air-slaked lime should
be kept always at hand. One should
have barrel or SO of 1t on hand every
fall, and use it freely about the hen
house. Sprinkle it beneath their
perches after cleaning out each morn
ing. and always keep in the nestboxes
to absorb the dampness.
When the nights are very cold, 1t
is a good plan to heat the grain very
hot in the oven before feeding. and
always remember to feed early enough
SO that they can see to get 1t.
A hot mash made of Indian meal
and some kind of small grain. and wet
up with hot water is good for break
fast now and then. Feed on long
boards so that all can get their share.
If the hens do not seem to be taking
enough grit supply, put few handfuls
of it in the mash; a little red pepper,
too. will warm them up.
Remember. the hens are early
risers. and do not keep them waiting
for their breakfast il you want them
to fill the egg basket. They will re-
pay all such courtesy.

ing the day open the door and set up
the lath door. and button It on with
wooden buttons.
You will see how quickly the fowls
will get to the fresh air and shake out
their feathers. It is well to have a
good supply of fresh litter with small
grain thrown into it, at hand to keep
them busy. There is little danger of
their getting a chill. even on very
cold days.
One of the most essential things I
know of for success with winter egg
raising is to have everything perfect
1y dry. Dampness and thrift never
dwell together. Never give water in
troughs, for in this manner too much
OF 1t gets emptied. The best method
for watering fowls that I have ever
tried is stone milk crooks.

GET EGGS in WINTER
Nothing More Satisfying Than
Thrifty Laying Hens.
Fowls Should Be Kept Comfortable
and Fed Resularly-keep Pure
Water Before Them Always
Clean Quarters Essential.
By NJ. CHANDLER.)

lby M SE1ANblSIiS.t
There is no profit in keeping poul-
thy in winter without eggs, and moth
ing that brings more satisfaction, or
better returns than good, thrifty, lay
ing hens.
Some seem to have the knack of
getting eggs in winter. while others
are forever complaining. To be sue
cessful. one must use Judgment No
fool can succeed in this line of busi-
ness.
Laying hens should have the best of
attention. They should be kept COM
Portable both night and day, and fed
regularly on clean food. and pure wa
ter should be kept ever before them.
Plenty of fresh air. sunshine. and
clean quarters are absolutely neces-
sary to the production of winter eggs.
Many make the mistake of having
too many windows. The fowls gather
in the sunshine during the day and
get too warm. and consequently feel the
least one large window on the south
side and one in the east side. but 1t
should be SO arranged that the fowls
cannot get nearer to them than a dis
tance of two feet at least. See to 1t
that there are no cracks to admit the
wind at night. but remember that a
little outside air. during the day, when
the fowls are moving about, is good
thing.
1t is an excellent thing to have a
gate or lath door that reaches from
top to bottom of the doorway, and dur

way, when they don't in any other.
But smart as you may be, you'll get
stuck sometimes.
A horse may look ever SO nice and
go at a great pace. and yet have fits.
and there isn't man who can fore
tell this. Something must happen to
bring 1t out. Also. he may have a
weak back or. II he is balky, off he
goes for mile or two, then all Of a
sudden stops On the road. After a
rest he starts again. but soon stops for
good, and nothing but steam derrick
will start him.

CAUTION IN BUYING A HORSE
Take No Mans Word for Worth of
AnimaI-Let Your Own Eye
Be Your Sole Guaranty.

If you want to buy horse. take no
mans word for the animal. Your own
eyes is your guaranty. Don't buy a
horse in harness. Take everything
off but the halter and have him led
around. II he has any failing you
should see it.
Let him walk by himself. If he
walks right into anything you will
know he has trouble with his eyes. No
matter how clear and bright the latter
may seem, the animal cannot see.
Back him, too. Some horses show
their weaknesses and tricks in that

FOR CITY OWNERSHIP

The subject of municipal owner
ship of an electric power and light
plant by the city of Boise will be
discussed at the next session of the
Council of Women Voters to be held
in the City Hall next Monday even
ing.
The question is the most vital one
at present before the people of Boise
for the reason that with the compile
ton of the Arrow Rock dam the gov
eminent power plant at Diversion
dam will become idle and useless and
the city can obtain the same as the
basis for a power plant for municipal
lighting purposes. Then it is also
pointed out that there will be an OPP
portunity for the development OF
great power by the Arrow Rock dam.
1t is an excellent omen that the wo-
men have become interested in the
subject for their influence is very
great as has been evidenced in many
campaigns for the betterment Of con-
ditions in Boise, and their meetings is
being looked forward to with much
interest by friends of the measure.
The Municipal Ownership Club is
continuing its activities and the ques-
tion will doubtless be put up to the
voters of Boise in a concrete form in
the near future.

Between the physical strength nee
essary in this work and the mental
strain caused BY every move being
|"tabbed, Manning collapsed, and ask
ed for relief under the compensation
act because of "a strain from rushing
work under the Halsey system. I"
Physicians reported that he would be
disabled for life and that he was "suf-
ferine from incurable heart condi-
ton"
The attending physician reported
that Manning was an unusually Wig
orous man. as well as an energetic
worker"
In indorsing the statement Of claim
ant that he was entitled to compensa-
ton, the solicitor of the department of
labor declared that the treatment ac-
corded Manning was enough to pro-
duce insanity The official said:
Here was a strong. hearty, hard
working employee who, for about
twenty years, had been regularly en-
ployed by the government. and whose
rating was first class. After putting
in all those years of service and re-
tanning his health, strength and vigor
a new system was installed in the gov
eminent establishment by which the
enploye was kept under the highest
nerve racking tension by reason of
the fact that a man sat watching his
every movement during every minute
of an eight-hour day. In addition to
this it will be observed from claim
ants letter, above quoted, that the
work he was performing was one of
the heaviest and hardest kind to be
performed in his occupation. Under
such circumstances it is not matter
OF surprise that his health should be
injured and shattered. for it certainly
seems that such treatment of man
engaged in heavy manual labor, nee
essitating also the use of the intellect
would be sufficient to upset the mind
of an ordinary individual and produce
insanity"
The ruling of the department of la
Dor is in line with the views of the
last Congress. which passed the Deit-
rick bill outlawing all forms Of
speeding up" in government arsenals
and navy yards. The passage of this
bill was the result of long campaign
by organized labor. Opponents of the
bill insisted that these speeding up"
systems really benefited the employee,
who was thereby paid according to
his worth"
