terial should be changed every ten or
twelve days as it will become foul and
breed disease.
Green Feed Needed.
Grass, grit bugs and grains are the
summer food for the hens. These in
gradients should be supplied in the
winter when hens cannot range. The
green food can be given in form of al
falfa leaves, turnips, cabbage, beets
and sprouted oats. The commercial
grit and oyster shells may be pur-
chased at nominal price from the
poultry dealer. In order to have a
meat diet one can purchase the meat
scraps or beef meal and blood meal
from the poultry man in the city or
town. A mixture of tWo-thirds corn
and one-third wheat is a good grain
feed for winter time. This furnishes
a variety of grains and is appreciated
by the flock.
1t is best to keep the hens in the
house until the frosts are off the
ground. About ten o'clock is a good
time to open the door and let them
out when the sun is shining bright.
If snow is on the ground keep the hens
inside the house. A hen will not lay
that must stand around in the cold
snow.
My experience has proved that it is
wise to keep dry mash before the
hens at all times. In self-feeder put
a mixture of two-thirds bran, one
sixth corn chops and one-sixth dry
beef scraps. Here the hens can get
their fill and have plenty of food for
egg making. Give cold water that is
just drawn from the well and be sure
to keep water vessels perfectly clean.

For winter layers the eight-month-old
pullets and the yearling hens are the
best of the flock. The pulict that has
been stunted is defective, or Unhealthy,
should be removed from the flock. Also
the hens that lack in vigor should be
culled out. All hens more than year
old should be sent to market. The 9TH
ers will be compelled to board them
if left in the laying pen. They will not
pay for their keep in most instances.
The long-legged, breasted

pays her way must be built close to
the ground with good craw capacity
and have a thick body, giving plenty
of room to the vital organs.
The early-hatched pullet should be-
gin to lay in October and by the first
of the year she should be doing her
best. The pullet that does not begin
to lay before cold weather generally
delays the matter until spring opens.
However, the pulletS that are prop
erly housed and put on an egg-laying
diet will begin before the month of
October has passed.
The aim of poultrymen should be to
produce as near as possible summer
conditions for his winter layers. This

PREVENT DISEASE IN FLOCK
Better to Remove Cause of Many All
ments Than to Try for Cure
Segregate Ailing Birds.

It is better to remove the cause of
the various ailments that afflict poul-
try than to try to bring about a cure,
and if we go about it intelligently we
shall not have to search far to find
what is causing the losses among our
birds.
In the first place, there are the germ
diseases, of which roup and it's kindred
troubles, such as canker, catarrh and
chicken pox are the most common.
These are communicated by the
agency of a germ, or they may de-
velop from latent germs retained in
the system from previous attack. At
any rate, a bird that is subject to
these diseases should never be used as
a breeder. She may communicate the
weakness to her offspring.
When a member of the flock shows
signs of any of these germ diseases
she should be removed to another pen
and the place ventilated and fumigat-
ed. Also all drinking fountains and
feeders which she may have used
should be scalded and disinfected. 1t
is well also to clean the pen. Filth
and large Accommodations of droppings
beneath the roosts have tendency to
multiply the roup germs. Fresh air,
sunlight and cleanliness destroy them.

Since concrete blocks have found

VARIETY IN DIET ESSENTIAL
Diarrhea, Indigestion and Liver Trou-
bIes Caused by Overlooking or
Poorly Balanced Ration.

Overlooking or poorly-balanced ra-
ton causes diarrhea, indigestion and
liver troubles in the chicken flock. A
diet that is practically all of one thing
may often be responsible. There may
be an overlooking of corn which causes
the bird to become too fat and in that
condition they are unable to throw off
the germs.
Diarrhea is caused by too much an
imal food. Lack of this, entirely, is
also just as dangerous. The happy
medium should be struck in all-feed-
ing. The ration that contains no green
feed is almost as detrimental to the
hen as all grain and no hay would be
for the dairy COW.
Green material of some sort is need
ed for health and egg production. Liv-
er trouble results, usually, from too
much food of fattening nature.

the beautiful facings which may be
made an integral part of the block.
This feature is development which
Is largely responsible for the widening
field which the concrete building
block serves. Closely allied with the
use of various crushed natural stones
In the facings is the development and
use of white cement, which may be
used either alone or in combination
with number of pigments, resulting
in the production of any shade of a
number of colors.
The use of these materials enables
the manufacturer to produce very
close limitations of highly expensive
stone at reasonable cost. Marble,
granite, sandstone and limestone may
be initiated with such exactness that
there is nothing gained in the use of
the true material. The surface of the
faced block is, as a rule, finished in
one of two ways. After the cement
has taken its initial set, the crushed
stone is exposed by the use of water
and a steel wire brush. This surface
Is rough and produces much the same
effect which is obtained by the use of
rough natural stone. Those stones
which are capable of taking a polish
IN their natural state may be closely
inflated by the use of the crushed ma
.erial, which is allowed to set firmly
n the face of the block, and then the
surface is planed down smooth and
polished. In addition to these two
methods of facing it is possible to tool
the surface of the block in any desired
way.
In the structure, the block may be
used to carry out the effect which the
home builder is striving for. One man
may be pleased with the massive eff
feet obtained by the use of large blocks
n the entire structure. Another finds
his desires realized in the combination
Of concrete blocks with other building
materials. In the latter class of
buildings an effect which has been well
demonstrated by the use of ornamental
brick may be obtained with equal sue
cess by the use of concrete blocks in
the construction of the porch on a
frame house.
The illustrations present a bungalow
| which has been designed with porch
IF distinctive concrete blocks. In this
Ease the architect has found it possible
to greatly improve the appearance of
he structure by including the chimney
n the porch effect. The facing used
is composed of marble clippings and
white cement. The surface of the
block is left rough, the marble being
exposed by the steel brush. Two sizes
are used in the walls and special-size
blocks are cast for the porch rail.
The work Is laid up in alternate wide
ind narrow courses and is pointed
With dark-colored mortar. The heavy

sPRoUTED OATS FOR LAYERS
Should Be Fed When Shoots Are Not
Over One-HaIf Inch in Length
ia Other Good Feeds.

Sprouted oats are good for laying
hens and should be fed when the
shoots are not over one-half inch in
length.
Tender, juicy green stuff should be
fed, such as beets, cabbage, green clo-
yer or other succulent food, but it is
unwise to feed green food in a frozen
condition to laying hens; skim milk,
buttermilk, dried milk and dry ground
bone are also good for the protein in
them, although they do not have much
fat.

(IIuntsville Democrat. J

A murder, one of the most
horrible in its grewsome details
ever committed n this county,
was disclosed yesterday forenoon
when the dismembered body OF
the victim was discovered BY
George Hardin IN the woods near
Nose Dunlap 5 farm, about four
miles northeast o. Wesley. Mr..
Hardin had started to a neigh
Dor 5 house; to shorten the dis
lance he had chosen path
through the timber and when
about seventy-five yards from
the road he found the mutilated
and considerably deeomposed
body of a young man named
Ralph Rhodes, age about II years
who is supposed to have been
killed by his companion, Frank
Jones, young man about - or
% years of age. Evidence pro-
duced at the inquest, which was
conducted by Justice of the Peace
&c. VI. Mason, points without a
doubt to the guilt of Jones and
in substance is that the young
men were last seen together at
their camp late Sunday afternoon
a ounshot was heard in the dlrec-
ton of the camp about II o clock
Sunday night; a casual passerby
Monday morning found Jones
alone at the camp making prepar-
atoms to move, when he volunteer
ed the information that he and
Rhodes had had II disagreement ut
and that Rhodes had left him
during most all of Monday Jones
spent the time driving around
through the community, seeming
lly aimless; that night or early
Tuesday morning he left there
and it is reported that he was
seen yesterday afternoon near
Fayetteville still with his buggy
and team; at the camp blood was

The dismembered legs had not
been found at last report, and it
Is matter of conjecture whether
they were hidden elsewhere by
Jones or also left with the body
and had been carried away by
dogs or hogs. A few rocks had
been piled on the body but other
wise no effort had been made to
conceal it.
All that is known Of Rhodes
and Jones is that they had been
in that community about ten
days making railroad ties, they
saying that they had come there
from Eureka Springs where
they had been employed as tie
makers. Rhodes was poorly clad
and is said to have been illiterate
and at times apparently idiotic.
Jones wore better clothes, was
|shrewder IN every way and seem
ed to be the master of the boy.
The buggy and team, a rather
shabby outfit, was claimed by
Jones. The only motive for the
murder the Democrat has heard
suggested is that the two had
possibly been partners in a form
er crime and that Jones killed the
simple minded boy for fear he
might some day give it way.
