FIND THE QUALITY OF EGGS
Cornell Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion Recommends Gambling as
the Best Method.

The quality of eggs depends not al
together upon the length of time they
have been kept, but quite as much
upon the conditions to which they
have been subjected between the time
of laying and of their final use. More
over, the quality of an egg may be az
fected to some extent by the foods
eaten by the hen which lays it,. and
possibly by the season of the year
when II is laid.
All these points and many others
are discussed in bulletin on the in
terror quality of market eggs. issued
by the Cornell agricultural exeri-'
ment station, which explains the proc
ess OF egg production and the struc-
ture of the normal egg. 1t tells also
how the interior quality of market
eggs may be studied and advocates
Gambling as the best method. 1t gives
directions for Gambling and instruc
tions for making Gambling devices.

the new trap is that it enters into the

holes along the length of the perch

Harry Stokes.

Great excitement prevails in Nash
Vile to-day over the killing of one OF
its most prominent sons, Harry
Stokes, who, in the famoos municipal
scandal made his name household
word, and whose efficiency won for
him a national notice. His name was
used as a probable candidate for Gov
ernor of Tennessee. He was a man
among men, IA worker iii the hive, q
doer of things, an exposer OF graft
and an uncoverer of crookedness and
scandal, He was the idol Of the mass
es, because he was the friend OF the
masses, and their champion. HIS
fight against corruption and corrupt
practices in Nashville was remarka-
BILE. Almost alone he stood, defying
the powers that be. His fight was
one that will go down on the pages OF
Nashville's history as the beginning
of new era. And now he is dead,
but his work still lives, and will be a
monument to his memory more last
ing than marble or bronze. In the
death of Harry Stokes Nashville sus-
tanned a great loss and Tennessee
mourns. Leaf Chronicle.

birds sleep. The habits of the chicken

is to get at the birds while they are
roosting, and they attack the birds in
such numbers that it's health is seri-

FEED GREEN FOOD AND GRIT
Almost Anything Sueculent viii An
swer Purpose-variety Is Deslr-
able During Winter Months.

1t is important that some kind of
green food should be supplied when
the hens are confined. Almost any
thing succulent will serve the purpose.
1t is not desirable to depend entirely
on clover and alfalfa in winter. Cab
bage. rape, mangels, potatoes, turnips,
or even ensilage should be provided
for variety.
Little attention need be given to
supplying the hens with grit while on
the range. In winter or when in con.
finement, grit in some form should be
supplied Lime is also needed for
shell material. For this purpose oyster
she'll is excellent.

All the standard fowls have their
merits, and for door-yard flock I
would choose one of the heavy breeds.
A Leghorn chick can be brought to a
broiler size in hurry, but the gain
in weight is not so rapid beyond that
stage.
/ have known pure-bred Leghorns
not to average four dozen eggs year,
so there is no safety in mere name.
It's the breeding that counts, and Leg
horns can be brought to very high egg
production and held to it. Do not care

REMEDY FOR A BUNDLE FOOT
Trouble often Caused by High Roosts
or Frozen Ground-Simple Treat
ment Is Recommended.

Bumble foot is caused by bruise.
This may come from frozen ground,
or from flying down from a height
to a hard-surfaced floor. Often roosts
are entirely too high, and the force
with which the bird strikes the ground
Injuries the foot.
Whenever a bird is seen to be limp
ing, examine the bottom of the foot.
If there is pus, make a cross on the
sole OF the foot. disinfect with any
household disinfectant, and apply a
soothing ointment. Bandage well,
and put the bird in a coop on soft
litter.

SECURE YELLoW-YoLKED EGG
Poultry Department Of Iowa State Col
Ieoe Tells seeret--Feed Corn
With Clipped Alfalfa.

Eggs with a richly colored golden
yolk, from a market standpoint. are
more desirable than the pale-yolked
variety. Due to lack of green range
feed in the winter. such eggs are not
normally laid during cold weather. To
produce them. though, is quite sim
pie matter IL you know how. The
poultry department of the Iowa State
college tells the secret.
Yellow corn with clipped alfalfa or
sprouted oats are winter feeds that
put the color in the yolk Stemmy al
and contains too much fiber. The al
falfa must be leafy. Alfalfa or clover
sweepings from the hay NOW make an
excellent winter poultry feed. To keep
the hens from scratching it about
rack or box may be provided, covered
with coarse mesh poultry wire through
which the birds may pick the leaves.
The fact that green feeds produce
the desirable yellow-yolked eggs is
an advantage Of only secondary i'm
portance. The fact that they furnish
food elements not to be had otherwise,
and that are very much needed at this
season of the year, is of far greater
Importance. The green feed is nee
essary item to stimulate the general
health of the fowls, as well as their
laying ability, during the winter,

1000 CHILDREN
MEET SANTA CLAUS

Abandoning his more familiar
method of transportation, Santa
Claus came into South Bend yester-
day afternoon via the Grand Trunk
railroad. Upon his arrival in this
city he was greeted by at least
1000 children who formed an es-
cort for him as he drove trium-
phantly down Michigan st. i'm a
sleigh that had been waiting Cor
him.
Old Kris Kringle stepped forth
from the train which arrived here
at o'clock in the afternoon, clad
IN his heavy fur coat and wearing
the beaming smile with which he
always greets little children. For
an hour before his arrival the ex>
pectant little tots waited at the sta
ton for him. When he appeared
on the platform one great shout
went up from the youngsters as
they waved their little hands at
him. In spite of his long ride from
the northland, he was not tired and
passed out small presents TO the
kids before driving to the Wy

audiences saw the comedy at each

the audience was so small some
thing that is bound TO affect the at
titude toward the play. especially a
comedy-but there seemed to be an
unexplainable something lacking.
The most noticeable thing about
"A Pair OF Queens" is the complicat-

plot deals with the efforts of a mar
ried man and his b-other-in-law TO
keep their names out of a shooting
affair in a restaurant. at which they
had met two girls. Money was stOl
en- after the shooting and il devel-
oped that the signatures on the bills

when the detectives came to the
home of the two men. the audience
was forced TO do considerable Crap
ping with the plot. Everything was
nnraveled when one of the pair of
queens" announced that she was a

the faults of the play The audience
is carried through too many tense
situations and then suddenly brought
