CLEAN UP YOUR HEN HOUSES.
Dirty Eggs Spon Quickly, Says Aggie
Poultry Expert.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. A soiled
or washed egg decays much sooner
than one which has never been dirty
and for that reason the chicken houses
and yards should be kept in a clean
and sanitary condition, points out
Ross NJ. Sherwood, specialist in poul-
try husbandry, division of extension,
Kansas State Agricultural college.
"One nest should be provided for
every five or six hens" says Mr.. Sher-
wood. This is important because
when only a few hens have to lay in
nest there will be fewer dirty eggs
The location of the nests is important
They should be where the hens will
use them-neSts are not for roosts-
and in places where the eggs may be
gathered conveniently. When the
nests contain plenty of nesting ma
terial there are also less broken and
dirty eggs produced"

WANT DAILY MAIL
Kansas Farmers Aroused by
Changes in Routes.
Economy Policy Scored; Fight
on Motor Delivery.

William Thavis.)
Washington, Feb. 4.-The economy
policy of the postoffice department in
administering the rural free delivery
service during recent months has stir
red the wrath of many Kansas farm
ers, partic ularly those in the western
and southwestern portion of the state.
Hundreds of complaints are flowing
into Washington to the effect that the
departments policy in frightening
routes or consolidating two routes into
one with an automobile carrier has
resulted in reducing deliveries to two
or three times a week. Previously
these farmers enjoyed daily delivery
of their mail
The average western farmer has
been trained to read the news every
day. He no longer can do without his
daily newspaper, but a daily paper is
perishable goods-it must be new to
be news Twice or three times a week
mail service won't be sufficient.
Farmers. commenting on their pres
ent postal facilities. see before them
step back toward pioneer days, when
deliveries were few and far between.
They say war could be declared and
battle could be fought before they hear
of it.
Against Auto Delivery.
The argument against the motor
service is that one carrier is trying to
do the work of two or three carriers
who formerly used horses and VehlcleS
wholly in these sections. Another
thing is. that motor deliveries are de-
| layed by heavy roads in winter and
spring weather.
Rural carriers on an average route
receive $1,000 a year. The carriers on
the consolidated and heightened routes
will receive $500 a year. with the
privilege of employing a substitute in
rainy or muddy weather when teams
must be used. Two months of the
year are all that is permitted to the
! consolidated carrier for the employ
ment of a substitute. If roads are i'm
! passable for more than two months in
/ the year. somebody will have to do
without their mail, it is figured.
! Scrap in Congress.
Farmers of Kansas are awakening
/ to the possible curtailment of mail
| luxuries that they have been enjoying
and are asking for relief or that some
thing be done to safeguard their mail
services.
1t might be well to add that right
now there is a big row on between
! congress and the postoffice departm emit
regarding the rural consolidated mail
service. Not only are several resolu-
tons pending in the house asking for
an investigation of this service, but
nearly a hundred private bills have
| been presented seeking to curb the
| power of the postmaster general in the
way of inaugurating any policy which
would change rural free delivery from
it's original authorization. other
measures are specific in directing the
character of mail delivery to farmers.

Great Bend, Kan, Feb. A. E.
Fitlxin of New York city, one of the
heavy stockholders and an officer of
the Interstate Electric corporation,
owners of the Great Bend Water &
Electric company, was here this week
inspecting the work being done on the
new plant, and when he returns to
New York will present for the ap-
prevail of the directors of his company
the purchase of two new plants, the
one at Sterling and one at Lyons.
Should the Interstate buy the same it
is likely that a connection will be made
between those plants and the one here,
the cost of operating will be reduced
in the centralizing of office work and
management and all the plants ma
terially improved. Power lines into
the country will become a fixed thing
rather than a probability.
