1t is good practice to pen pullets by
themselves when being fitted for win
ter egg laying. The pens should be
prepared as early in the fall as pos
sible. They should be properly cleaned
and thoroughly disinfected. If pos
sible, each pen should have a good
sized yard and have roosting quarters,
scratching pen, dust bath and nesting
places. These should all be under
cover, well lighted and dry and well
ventilated Cleanliness and roominess
tend to keep growing pullets healthy
and vigorous. AMI both are essential to
successful egg production.
Recent tests by the United States de-
partment of agriculture show that

beef scrap and II per cent of bran and

STARTING THE BULLETS.
Young Chickens Should Not Be Forced
to Begin Egg Laying.


Egg laying in late fall and early win

law, writes Professor ]. B. Norman in
the Buffalo News. Fowls. are domesti-
Gated wild birds. The natural period
for laying is during spring and early
summer. Therefore to get eggs from
pullets in winter it is necessary to give
growing chickens special care and at
tention.
The first essential to success is 20

lily. The pullets should be separated
from the cockerels when about three
months old When four months of age
the pullets should be growing into
promising layers. At this age they
should be given every opportunity to
mature naturally. But it is mistake
to force pullets too rapidly, Such a
practice may produce few more eggs
at the start, but it will usually result
in disappointment.
The pullets may mott. In that case
egg production in winter will cease,
or the pullets will not reach normal
size when they begin to lay. In that
case the eggs will probably be small in

HEAT IN THE SIL0.
Temperature Never High Except on
the Surface.

the Surface.
re. H. Eckles, Missouri station.l
Every one who has used a silo has
observed that at times the silage be-
comes hot. This is generally noticed
on the surface during mild weather as
when the silage is being fed in rather
small quantities. Many have supposed
that the entire mass Of silage becomes
very hot and that certain amount OF
heat is necessary to preserve it. Agents
Of various types of silos have also
taken advantage of the lack of general
information on this subject to make
claims for or against certain types of
silo on the ground that the tempera-
ture of the silage is influenced by the
particular construction.
The Missouri experiment station de-
cided two years ago to get the facts.
Electric thermometers were placed in
silos to take the temperature. A bulb
was placed In the silo during filling at
any point where It was desirable to
take the temperature. This bulb had
wires leading to the outside of the silo
so the temperature could be taken
with an electrical device at any time.
Temperature readings were taken
near the center of the silage mass and
at the wall at frequent intervals dur
ing two seasons in from eight to ten
sios, including stave. iron, tile. Gurler
and concrete.
1t was found that the temperature in
the depth of the silage is never high
as is so often thought. After filling
the temperature rises from to 10 de-
grees the first few days and then slow
ly declines during the fall and winter
until it reaches the lowest point, about
40 degrees, in March. In good silage
the temperature seldom goes more than
few degrees, if any, above 100 f.
and may not go above 90. The only
high temperatures found are at the
surface when the air comes in contact
with silage. Furthermore, a tempera-
, ture much above 100 means boss of
silage, as some of the material is be-
ing actually burned to make the heat.
Mold will raise the temperature some
Corn put in the silo in a mature condi.
ton develops more heat than that put
in green. No relation was found be-
tween the material used in the con
struction Of the silO and the tempera
ture of the silage. Practically no diff
ference in the freezing of the silage
on the wall was observed with the
different kinds of silos.

DEEPER SHAFT
At MANHATTAN
UNION AMALGAMATED PROfER-
TY TO BE EXPLORED IN
THOROUGH MANNER

Extensive work is planned by the
Union Amalgamated Mining COM
pany. of Manhattan, which corpor-
alton now owns practically all of
the lower end of Litigation Hill,
the holdings running up as far
as the Manhattan Consolidated
ground. The men have been taken
from underground temporarily and
are grading for a compressor house,
the machinery having been brought
from the Earl ground and will be
installed at the Bath lease shaft,
which is now the principal opening
into the underworld of the cor
poration.
Sufficient ore has been broken or
is exposed in the Slopes of the COM
pany to keep the mill running for
a long time. 1t will be drawn upon
as needed to keep the bins filled.
AS soon as the compressor is INSTALL
ed the shaft, which is now 500 feet
deep on incline, will be extended
down an additional 1875 feet and a
cross-cut will be run to the Earl
ground. This working will cut
the edges that were specifically
followed by leasers in the early days
and from which they took many
shipments of profitable ore.
If the showing on the 625 level
is what is anticipated, the mill
which is now situated than a
mile from the property, will be dis
mantled and moved to a point just
below the Bath property. A num-
Der of Tonopah people who are in
terested in the property visited the
mine Sunday. They descended to
the 500 foot level and there they
took samples from the vein which
they PANIED and in every instance
secured fine strings of gold.
The showing at this point is said
by them to be the best in the pro-
perty. The mill is running full
shifts and the amalgam on the
plates evidenced that an excellent
quality Of ore is passing through
the heads. 1t is estimated that the
saving in haulage by moving the
mill to the mine will pay the cost
in about Is months. All who have
recently inspected the Union Anal
gamated are convinced that 1t is
n of the big coming producers of
the Manhattan Observation-Disclosures.

'WOOD TIN" IN NEVADA

A curious ore of tin, called wood
resembling the annual growth rings
OF wood, has been recently discover
ed in Nevada. AT employee Of the
Rassell cattle ranch, situated 20
miles north of Battle Mountain, a
town on the Southern Pacific rail-
road in northern Lander county,
brought a sample of the ore into
town, where it was eventually re-
cognized by an engineer who had
seen similar material in Mexico.
At the request of Senator Key
Pittman, of Nevada, this ore de-
post has been examined by Adolph
Knopf, a %geologist of the United
States Geological Survey.
The ore, which is an oxide of
tin, occurs in narrow veinlets in
rhyolite lavas, which were erupted
in middle Tertiary time. In places
the veinlets are sufficiently numerous
to form low-grade lodes, but be-
cause of the small development
work so far done not much is known
as to the size, extent and richness
of these lodes. The indications Of
the stronger lodes, taken in con-
nection with their geology, are, IN
the opinion of government geolo-
gists, such as to warrant further ex-
ploration.
The deposits resemble closely
those of the Mexican states of Du-
range, Zacatecas and Guanajuato,
but are wholly unlike all other tin
deposits, most of which are asso-
ciated with intrusive GRANTEES. Not
only has the tin ore been found in
place at a number of localities over
a considerable area, but placer tin
ore has been found in all the gull
ches heading in this area, and also
in some of those at the north end
OF Shoshone Mesa.

TONOPAH IS MAKING
PEBBLES FOR MILLS
HARD QUARTZ is GROUND DOWN
IN CYLINDERS FOR THE
TUBES

Owing to the war and to labCr
conditions, the supply of tube mill
pebbles has become lessened and
the price has been proportionately
advanced. The Tonopah Extension
Mining company. with it's hale doz-
en- tubes, has teen endeavoring for
some months to secure satisfactory
pebbles in sufficient quantity, and,
in order to be certain of keeping
fully supplied, it has instituted a
mill of its own for grinding the
pebbles.
The raw material is a hard quartz
taken from the dump of the No.
l shaft. This quartz is harder than
the average ore worked from the
present openings and the friction
does not appreciably reduce the size
of the pebbles after a run of a num-
Der of days.
The mill is simply a huge cylin-
der. driven by electric power, The
rough quartz is introduced and the
revolutions of the mill act on the
principle of diamond cut diamond,
and the pebbles emerge in spherical
form.
The only feature of the mill hat
is unpleasant is the noise that IL
produces, drowning the roar of the
stamps in the mill adjoining n
making it almost impossible to carry
on a conversation within 100 yards.
What the office force of the Extern
sion say. or think, about the inno-
walton, is unprintable. Tonopah

The use of these novel instru-

of the extensive work being done

However, most of the one-legged

makers. They are also much op-
posed to taking up occupations, such
as jewellers, photographers and paint
ers, who are not in much demand
in the small towns of Belgium and
France.
Usually a wounded soldier chooses
an occupation akin to his former
work. An iron moulder who has
lost his arm and can no longer lift
heavy moulds, has become a model
Ter of these moulds. A mason has
become a stone designer. Other
mutilated have taken up entirely
new occupations: A restaurant wait
err has developed into an expert

Many wounded soldiers are pre-
pairing themselves to be govern
ment functionaries after the war,
ill the customs offices, post and
telegraph offices, state banks, etc,
as it is assumed preference will
be given to old soldiers. One of
the schools here prepares men for
this government work and for the
provincial and communal admins
trations.
This school for the training of
government employees is something
of a pioneer in this line, and it
has suggested the establishment of
regular institutions after the war,
for the training of people for gov
eminent employment the same as
people are trained for all branches
of private enterprise.
