PROPER CREDIT TO NOBODY
Simple Logic Easily Proves That He
Has Not Hitherto Been Treated
With Justice.

The time is now arrived when No
body should come to his own. Hitherto
Nobody has not been treated with JUS
tice. AS one of the most important
persons in America, Nobody should
have statues erected in all of our
principal cities. Let us, therefore,
consider the claims of Nobody. In the
first place, Nobody knows. Take, for
example, the currency bill, the tariff
schedules, the status Of philosophy,
or the art of the futurist. Nobody
knows about all of these things, when
all the rest are in entire ignorance
Furthermore, if you want to know the
actual truth about these important
questions, and many more, Nobody is
the only one who can tell you. Every
body takes some interest in baseball,
movies, vaudeville, bridge and high
balls; but when it comes to all the
things which are known as vital, such
as government, slums, etc., who cares
Why, Nobody cares. Nobody is, there
fore, our best citizen. Hurrah for
Nobody!-Life.

Rabbits Decision Worthy Of Any Of

tied to Solon.

Many of the best stories among the
Jews are told about rabbis who were
called in to render decision in diff
cul disputes. These decisions are at
times as crafty as those of the ancient
Solon.
A rich Jew, lying on his deathbed'
sent for his brother

pose of my fortune as l instruct you.
Give my wife as much as you want
and keep the remainder for yourself
He died soon after, and after divid-
ing the fortune the brother kept $4O,-
900 and gave the remaining $4,000
to the widow and her children. The
widow, not satisfied with this amount,
complained to the rabbi (who always
appears in the role of the widows
protector). The rabbi ordered the
brother to appear before him.
you have disobeyed your brothers
dying wish," said the rabbi.
Not at ALL" replied the brother
'He told me to give his widow as
much as want and to keep the rest
for myself"
Precisely" responded the rabbi
you took $4,000 and gave the widow
$4,000. Therefore, you wanted $40,
900. Did not your brother say, Give
my wife as much as you want
Therefore, 1 order that you give hel

BEST TEMPERATURE FOR cow
Hoard's DaIryman Expresses Opinion
That About Fifty Degrees Fab

In response to a query as to about

Hoard's Dairyman makes the follow

We are not prepared to say what is

our opinion that It is not well to have
the barn colder than so degrees
Fahrenheit. In very severe weather
the temperature in the Hoard's Dairy

about the same under these condi-

PRACTICE OF CREAM GRADING
Better Material Is Secured for Cream
cries and Insures Better Product
for the Consumer.

By r. MCANN, State Dairy Inspector
Of Colorado)
The old system Of spelling good
cream with bad by mixing the two
is a practice to be relegated to the
past. Consumers, manufacturers and.
producers alike should demand and ex-
pect that progress or a lead be made
in products and manufactures Of their
respective community and state.
While cream grading is a compare
lively new measure in many of our
bordering states, 1t has apparently
proved beyond doubt its value in many
respects, the foremost of which are:
Securing a better material for cream
cries; placing an incentive and reward
for the production Of good cream by
difference in price received for first
grade cream over that for second
grade, and insuring a better product
for the consumer, thereby increasing
consumption and demand for products
manufactured.

BALANCED FEEDING FOR HENS
No one Grain Combines the Necessary
Proportions Of ingredients
to Produce Eggs.
By w. R. GILBERT.)

Balanced feeding is an attempt to
provide for all the wants of fowls
bodies SO as to enable them to yield
the best profits to their owners at
minimum cost.
No one grain, meal or vegetable by
itself combines the necessary proper
tions of ingredients to produce eggs
in profitable quantities.
Scientific experiments have proved
that to keep alive an ordinary hen
weighing six pounds, two ounces of
dry food per day is required, but these
two ounces are not enough to put on
flesh or to make eggs.
They are only enough to keep up
the wear and tear of existence. More
food has to be supplied for egg making
and if this food is richly charged with
the component parts of an egg the
greater and easier will be the produc-
tion.

Cleaning ls Essential.

Good brooders can be made at home
by anyone who is a fairly good car
penter. The sleeping compartment of
a brooder should be heated from the
center by lamp which is encircled
by wire to prevent the chicks coming
too near the lamp.
Breeders require daily cleaning the
same as a henhouse, which is quite
easy to achieve with regular atten.
tion.
Owing to the fact that the chicks
are supplied with a full meal in the
way of yolk of eggs before they leave
the shell no food is required for "a
hours after they are hatched. To
ward off indigestion they must have
plenty of grit for grinders at all
times.

CUT UP LONG CORN STALKS
Much Waste May Be Avoided and
Cows Will Eat Them UP Clean
Bit of Grain Is Relished.

Don't try to make your cows eat
long corn stalks. They will surely
waste lot of good feed. Cut the stalks
and they will eat them all up clean.
Let them lie in box or even in the
alleyway for a day or two after they
have been cut and they will heat and
soften up a good deal. If too dry lit
tie water poured over the pile will
help to moisten them up. A bit of

.Bv E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.) }

(By II. VAN BENT U SEM
A young pigeon, unlike a young
chicken, cannot feed itself, but must
be fed by the old bird.
Very often squads do not leave the
nest until they are a month old and
ready for the market.
Sometimes the old birds will favor
one of their offspring and feed it con-
tinually, allowing the others to go
hungry much of the time. 1t is not
unusual to see one large, plump bird
and a half-starved, puny one in the
same nest, both having been hatched
at the same time.
The male bird sits on the nest at
night and the female in the daytime
Some dealers say that this is the only
true test of mating.
Vermin is a constant menace to
pigeons and must be always fought.
Frequent white Tashing, absolute
cleanliness, and tobacco-stems placed
in the nests will generally keep the
birds reasonably clean.
Pigeons must have clean water for
bathing. once every day 1t should
lie given them early in the morning.
The birds cannot live without it.
The bathing dishes should be emp
tied Immediately after the birds have
used it, as it quickly becomes foul and
should not be allowed to stand.
The pigeon that goes about with
dropping wings is a sick bird.
At the first sign of sickness, the
bird should be taken out of the pens
and placed by itself. Unless it is very
valuable it should be killed at the
end of three days if it is not entirely
well.

Squads are pretty we'll covered with
feathers when they are three weeks
old.
Before engaging in the pigeon busi-
ness go and spend a week or two with
some successful pigeon breeder. One
can learn more in this way than from
three months of reading.
Nobody except a simpleton will buy
pigeons whose mating is not absolute
ly guaranteed. Even then one should
not buy except from a dealer with a
high reputation, because even if the
birds are guaranteed and they prove
to be minated much time will be lost
before they Can be replaced.
The aim Of every pigeon dealer is to
produce the largest amount of meat
in his bird. For this reason scrub
stock should never be used.
No artificial heat is required in
pigeon houses, but they must be alb
solutely tight as drafts are fatal.
Pigeons begin to ley two weeks aft
er mating. They lay two eggs which
hatch in about eighteen days.
The old birds stop feeding the young
squads when the next pair hatch
Each pair of birds should be provid-
ed with two nests.
Pigeons cannot thrive unless they
have a place in which to fly. Con
fined in houses they will quickly con
tract consumption and die. Even in
the coolest weather they should be
allowed to fly outdoors when they
please.
The breeding season is from March
to September, but extra good breed
ers will produce young ten months il
the year.

COAL MINING is SAFER
ACCORDING TO ANNUAL REPORT
OF STATE MINE INSPECTOR.
Production Fell OFF 1,oe7,516 Tons In

Denver-The number of lives lost
in Colorado coal mines decreased in
Sc per 1000 employees in 1913, accord
ing to the annual report of James

There were rs killed and 1856 in
jured. giving an average of 1876 men
injured per 1000 employees. The num-
Der of men employed in the mines
was 1886 OF the accidents II were
underground and 4 on the surface.
These accidents made 40 women wild
ows and 92 children fatherless Thir-
ty-five of the men killed were single.
Over half of the fatal accidents
3S-were caused by falls of rock and
coal Eighteen were caused by mine
cars and motors, by electricity, 8
by electric mining machinery and IL
by other causes.
The amount of coal mined COM
pared with that mined during 1913
showed a decrease of 1,061, SIG tons.
The total production was S,201, 423
tons. Among the causes ascribed for
the Mexican war, the coal strike and
the exceedingly mild fall and winter.
Four mines were closed because OF
unsafe and unsanitary conditions. In
prosecutions for violations of the law
five~miners were found guilty and five
operators. There were 53S non-fatal
accidents reported to the department
The tons of coal produced per fatal
accident increased from S4,263 in 1919
to 109,352 in 1914.

says, "the conditions of the mines
have very much improved This is es
