SECURE YELLOW -YOLKED EGG
Poultry Department of Iowa State Col
lese Tells Secret-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 if 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
falfa will not dc, as it is too coarse
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 a
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 we'll as their
laying ability, during the winter.

Trap for Chicken Lice.

work about the perch, so as to be ready
for subsequent visits. The features OF
the new trap is that it enters into the
construction of the perch. There are
holes along the length of the perch
which make inviting harboring places
for the vermin; but when they enter
these they are overcome by the fumes
of a germicide contained in trays,
which are disposed of within the in
terror of the perch. For convenience
in cleaning these trays may be with
drawn from the ends without disturb
ing the perch.

Soft Liqhts.

No one can appreciate the wonder
'ul effect of soft light from shades
,andles given to a room until one has
seen a room lighted in such a man
Ter. Many women hesitate to buy
,andles because they cannot afford to
Guy the kind Of shade that will look
BEST in the room in which the candles
ire to Ibe used. By closely examin-
.ng a ready-made shade and by fol-
lowing directions any woman who can
WELD needle should be able to make
suitable shades. At any needlework
store foundations for the shade can
be bought already made or can be
made to order. Having purchased the
foundations, it is next necessary to
measure them to find out how much
material will be needed to cover them,
and the covering of them will be
found most interesting and easy
process. One thing to remember is
that neatness is essential to the
beauty of each shade.

Salt Not a Fertilizer
Edgrheld, >. 4.
c 0 T. J. LYON.

h Does salt contain any potash?''
Not bit of it. Salt is chloride of
soda, and soda vii not take the
place of potash, though there are
some who think it will. In a soil
abounding in insoluble potash II
might possibly help to release il.
But as you refer TO the Irish polal"
crop, would say that l think salt
will do more harm than good on
that crop, and that an equal mixture
iot cottonseed meal and acid phos-
lpha,e is about as good as we can do.

Trouble Often Caused by High Roosts
or Frozen Ground-Simple Treat
ment Is Recommended.

Labor Has Profited By
The War In Europe

Labor in the United States has had it's
pay increased $40 100000 a year by the
war in Europe, according to Edward F.
insolvency, chairman of the directors of
the port of Boston.
This means that $45, 100000 more than
the normal wage is being paid to the labor
ing classes monthly. It does not mean,
however, that individual wages have been
increased, but rather that about 100000
more persons are being employed at the
average wage of $50 month.
Present prosperity has led many persons
to believe that all wage-earners are shar-
ing directly in the big profits now being
piled up in certain industries
Tbs is not true to the extent of $40, 900
900 although profit-sharing has been car
ried out by 300 different firms in the past
year, according to a report of the welfare
department of the National Civic Fedora
ton. This report analyses 200 of these
profit-sharing plans, under many names, as
bonuses, premiums, stock dividends, COM
missions, old age pensions, insurance, etc.

again heard, and everything is in a
rush to get ready for the entertain
ment of the large number of guests

every meal.

Our Army-It Is
Fine, in Spite of Congress

The fight last week when a band of
Mexicans attacked our border patrol,
measured by the usual standards of battle
was an insignificant affair; but it shows
what we may expect from American sol
diers.
oelrFeemvmea aoi etaoinetaoinetaoin
From eleven o'clock until daylight, our
nine boys in khaki beat off an attacking
force estimated variously at from 70 to 500
memo matter how many; the difference
Of few thousand per cent in the odds
never has bothered us.
This is at once the glory and the trag-
edy of our army. The charge of the Four
Hundred was nothing compared with our
unpreparedness. With our military re-
sources such as they are, war with Mexico
or Germany would literally be charging
hell with a bucket of water And some
how or other we would win out! But at
what a cost, because of inadequate equip
ment, and inefficient men! The blunder
that sacrificed the gallant troop at Balalava
is small alongside of what Congress, by
continued shilly shallying on the prepared
ness issue may have to answer for.

FAIRHOPE MAYOR
MAKES TALK ON
THEC0UNTY BOARD
BALDWIN COUNTY OFFICIAL SPOKE
I'M RELATION TO THE OLD SPAN
ISL TRAIL AND EFFORTS OF HIS
COUNTY,

One Of the several to address the board
of county commissioners at the meeting
last night was Mayor Bergland, of Fair
hope, in Baldwin county, who, speak
ing especially In behalf Of the Old Span
ish Trail, told the commissioners some
of the good roads movements which were
taking place in his county, and in which
his town was deeply interested to the
extent of taking part in such activities
on a great scale, according to Mayor
Bergland.
The latter arrived in Pensacola yester-
day on business and when he was in
formed that the county board would hold
a meeting last night he took occasion
to be heard, with a view to getting the
desired cooperation.
More Good Highways
Another speaker who addressed the
board was w. NJ Herrider, who after
speaking in behalf Of the Ferry Pass
approach to the city, sought to inter-
est the board in the consideration of what
he termed a scenic highway. This was
for a road ding the bay front, enabling
all who came from the east over the
Ferry Pass and other roads to get =
view Of the harbor, shipping. and water
front generally.

Hog Business Profitable; Feed
Can Be Grown All the Time

Because feed can be grown the entire
year here, the swine industry offers great
possibilities in Western Florida. Either
in conjunction with cattle or as a separate
venture, hogs will yield returns and very
little capital is needed to make start.
It is not at all necessary to start in by in
vesting any considerable sum of money in
herd of thorougbreds-alth this
yields the quickest results, if you can afford
to do so-but the thing of greatest import
ance in beginning the swine industry, is
the question of feed
This cannot be provided in hurry-It
must be grown, and that takes time.
Therefore, the proper way to start in the
hog business is to plan months ahead of
time to produce the feed.
Just see what you can have the year
round with little planning. Winter oats,
rye, rape, sorghum, soy beans, cow peas,
velvet beans, bermuda, chufas, sweet pota-
toes, Spanish peanuts
The Spaniards sought only for gold mines
when they came here; but our sources
of wealth are. greater than any gold
mine, because they are inexhaustible; with
cattle, the earth will yield increasing boun-
ties every year,

PINEWOOD CITIZEN DONATES
$50 TO THE Y. M. C. A,
) NA~AAA&AAAAAA%~S

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Having noticed the campaign start
ed by the Y. M. C. A. of Pensacola,
Fla, to raise funds to pay indebted
ness of the institution, and while l
am not a resident of Pensacola and
never have seen the inside of the Y.
NJ. G. A. building, but favoring such
an institution for the benefit of all
citizens, more especially our young
boys coming along, I take pleasure
in enclosing you herewith my check
for $50, which you win kindly turn
over to the committee appointed.
Though am unable to enjoy the
privileges of the institution, / am
making application for membership,
and think that every citizen Of PEN
sacola who is in position to do so
ought to do likewise, in order to swell
the monthly receipts of the institu-
ton and thereby render it self-sup-
porting without mourning any indebt-
edness and having to resort to a cam
paign Of subscription.
/ have just been informed that
there is an outstanding mortgage
against the institution, and think
that the citizens of Pensacola who
have taken such an interest in this
cause in the last few days ought by
all means try to raise funds to wipe
out this mortgage. If such move
ment is begun I will gladly donate
twice the amount which I am doing
now.
Yours very truly,
PETER L. ROSASCO.

the affirmative in the debate that fur

This battle royal of wit proved so
exciting that it wasn't noticed until
after the decision had been given and
the ring cleared that nobody knew
what Mary was accused Of in the first
place. Might have been gum; might
have been hoopskirts; but just so II
