ANIMAL FOOD IS ESSENTIAL
To Secure Best EGG Yield PouItryman
Must Supply Fowls With Green
Cut Bone or MIX.

If the best egg yield is to be OBJ
tanned animal food in some form must
be supplied during the fall and winter
months. During spring and summer,
fowls having range will obtain ami
NAL food in the form of bugs and
worms, but when the frosty days come
and this form of animal food can no
longer be obtained, the poultryman
must supply this element in the ration
by the feeding Of green cut bone, beef
scrap or milk.
II to be obtained, fresh bone from
the butcher is not only the cheapest
but the best animal protein food that
can be obtained. Bone is rich in pro-
tein, fat and minerals. 1t should always
be fed while fresh, especially If the
weather is at all warm, since it spoils
quickly, and the feeding of tainted
bone is always attended with danger.
II it is impossible to obtain bone,
beef scrap will supply the hens with
the needed animal protein. Beef scrap
is a product of the packing houses,
and is the residue from tallow and
lard rendering, thoroughly cooked and
ground
Cracklings can sometimes be pur-
chased from local butchers at a price
much less than that charged by deal
ers for commercial beef scrap. These
are identical with beef scrap in food
elements, and it is always a matter OF
economy to purchase and feed them
II possible.
Milk is also an animal protein food
Milk, however, is not sufficiently rich
in protein to entirely replace bone OF
beef scrap. Where milk is fed, it is Gus
tomary to reduce the proportion OF
bone or scrap in the ration one-half
Milk should be fed always sweet or al
ways sour, since the changing from
one to the other will likely upset the
fowls digestion.

WATCH YOUNG PIGS CLOSELY
If Exposed to Infection-Use Of
Serum Is Favored.

Cholera frequently makes its appear

and have survived an outbreak share
their immunity with the young pigs as

The Costly Elevator.

Elevator or vertical travel for the
average multistory factory, floor to
floor, is seldom over 10 feet, yet In
traversing that distance, together with
starting, stopping. and with the same
loading and unloading time, we can
travel in the same time an equivalent
distance of 100 feet horizontally. One
factory manager, OF an inquiring turn
of mind, estimated in his particular
plant that the cost Of elevator service,
wages OF operator, power, repairs and
time consumed by men using the ele-
vators, amounted to about per cent
of his payroll.-Engineering Magazine

National theater, and behind the build
ings and towers of "Altstadt' and 10
sephstadt" clustered in picturesque
confusion
The buildings of the palace on
Hradschin are mostly empty now or
reserved for the use of the palace
guard, and there are comparatively
few of the 440 rooms which are open
to the public. My guide led the way
into an immense saal, the Tourney
Hail." where tournaments on horse
back used to be held and which is
said to be the largest hall in Europe.
We then entered the throne room, a
large, high hall with a collection of
Prague student flags over the door
way. The council chamber, on the sec
ond floor, was one of the most inter-
esting rooms in the palace.
Cathedral is Magnificent.
After seeing several other rooms of
minor interest, left the palace build
ings and went down a narrow street
to the entrance to the cathedral. 1t
is beautiful structure in the purest
French Gothic style, with five grace
full towers. 1t was begun in 1874 by
Karl w, and even now, after six CEN
turtles, it is still unfinished. The in
side is magnificent, and nearly every
stone bears history. Probably the
most celebrated of its contents is the
beautiful silver coffin of st. John of
Nepomuk, weighing about four thou
sand two hundred pounds, and with
large canopy held by four life-sized
silver angel figures given by Maria
Theresa. The legend goes that John
OF Nepomuk was the father-confessor
of Johanna, wife of Wenzel ". Wen
eel was jealous and suspicious Of his
beautiful wife, and so he tried to force
John of Nepomuk to reveal to him
what she had told in the confessional
This the priest refused to do, and even
after long Imprisonment and martyr
dom remained true to his vows. FIJI
ally Wenzel in rage had the priests
tongue torn out and his body was
thrown into the Moldau. Later 1t
was rescued, and the story says that
although the rest of the saints re-
mains are now ashes, the tongue re-
mains as fresh as it was in life.

medieval architecture. At intervals
across the bridge are placed huge
statues of saints and ancient kings,
and there is also a beautiful gilded
statue of the crucifixion. Candles
burned before the saints and wreaths
of flowers, offerings of devout won
hipers, were at their feet The most
famous of these statues is that OF
st. John of Nepomuk, to whose shrine
come thousands of pilgrims every
year.
Arriving on the other side of the
Moldau one is carried back into the
middle ages. The sidewalks are
barely wide enough to allow a single
person to pass, and the high walls of
old palaces, with heavy iron doors
and gargoyles grinning from the cor
nices, rise on every side. Here in
the middle of the quarter, surrounded
on every side by buildings ancient
and modern, is gem of seventeenth
century architecture-the Wallenstein
palace. The outside walls are plain
and uninviting, and one would not
believe that they inclose such hand
some rooms. l walked unchallenged
through the doorway and into a big
square court. Here a rosy-cheeked
German woman answered my sum-
mons and consented to show me the
rooms which are open to the public.
View From HradschIn.
The way to Hradschin led through
a tangle of narrow, twisted streets,
and finally up long flight of stone
stairs, which l climbed heroically with
out, but am sure there seemed to be
twice that many. But l felt more
than repaid for my trouble when
reached the top and turned to look
at the beautiful view spread out be-
low at the river, and, beyond, the
spires of Prague's los churches. The
blue haze of the late afternoon shroud-
ed the horizon, and the yellows and
reds of the autumn-clad trees along
the river made brilliant spot of col
or in the foreground. The quaint
tower on the farther side of the Karls-
bruecke lay directly beneath me, to
the right the handsome new Bohemian

to find it end in solid wall of houses
from which there is apparently no
exit. In dark corner will be low
archway leading to a narrow passage
underneath the houses from whence
one enters onto another street. A
stranger quickly loses his bearings,
and one cannot help thinking, as one
follows the sharp turnings of the dark
and high-walled streets, what lovely
places they must have made for rough
and unlawful deeds in the days when
Prague was a center for the most no.
BILE as well as the most ignoble of Eu-
ropes bold spirits Here in the old
town one finds also the "Carollinium, -
the oldest university on the CONT
nent, founded by Karl w in 1348, and
somber enough with its high and
gloomy walls.
From the Wenzelsplatz one follows
the Ferdinand strasse down to Maldau
river which flows through the middle
of the city. Never shall forget the
view which burst upon me as l came
abruptly onto the wide and beautiful
quay. At my feet flowed the wide
stream, bordered on the other side by
low-hanging trees gorgeous in their
autumn foliage. White buildings
shone through the open spaces, mills
and factories using the river power for
their machines. Behind clustered the
roofs and spires of the ''Klein-Seite,
the oldest portion of the city, and
above it all, picture never to be for
gotten, rose high hill crowned by the
great clustering buildings of the
Hradschin and the noble towers OF
the st. Vitus cathedral rising against
the rosy evening sky. The Hradschin
is the ancient palace of the Bohemian
kings, begun by Karl " in the early
part of the fourteenth century and
later renovated by Maria Theresa. Nc
more magnificent site for palace
could possibly be found, and / stood
for many minutes spellbound by the

Feeds for Ewes and Mares.

For breeding ewes, roots and vege-
tables are the best kind of succulent
foods, although corn ensilage may be
used with fairly good results. In feed
ing corn ensilage to breeding ewes
better results will come from feeding
1t once a day and allowing each eve
from to pounds at a feed. En-
silage is not a good food for brood
mares and great care should be exer-
cised in feeding it If any is fed to
them.

Il est, one wonders why it is
that so few of our European
tourists turn their steps in that direc-
ton, writes Edna Machotka Chaplin in
the Los Angeles Times. Surely no
other city has a more fascinating his
tory or more quaint and beautiful mon
uments of the middle ages. The his
tory of Bohemia is comparatively I'M
familiar to most English and Ameri-
can travellers, and in consequence one
of tie most magnificent of the old Eu-
ropean cities is often passed by for
those which are better known and bet
ter advertised. But the traveller who
does pay a visit to the "hundred-tow-
cred Prague" will find himself well
repaid for his trouble and will come
away with some unforgettable mind
pictures and impressions.
The new section of the city, the
"Neustadt," presents a brilliant and
ever-varied street picture. Not only
the feminine half of humanity contrib
utes to the life and color, for the
streets are full of soldiers and army
officers in their striking uniforms.
In fact one is not so much impressed
in European cities by the gay dresses
of the women as by that of the men,
for the officers are ever present and
truly wonderful to behold in their
faultlessly fitting and gorgeously col
ored regalia. And the several stu
dent factions have also each their diff
ferent ribbons or caps.
Crooked Streets of Old Town.
The shops are very attractive and
have as pleasing an array of wares
and as we'll displayed as 1t would
be possible to find anywhere. The
three principal streets, Wenzelsplatz
Gaben and Ferdinand, are wide an6
beautiful, and one is the more i'm
pressed by them on account of the
neighboring streets of the "Altstadt,'
or old town, which are truly a mar
vel of narrowness and crookedness

In attaching fence wires or woven
wire fencing to trees, nail strip of
wood from one to two inches thick to

staples to the strip of wood and not
to the bark of the tree itself. If the
wires are fastened directly to the bark
of the tree the tree will grow over the
