cupation and it cannot be fully slim
ulated under natural winter condi-
tions. A diet rich in protein and
minerals is one absolute necessity
and winter ranging about the farm
does not supply that. Hens must
have warm dry feet or they will not
lay we'll and SO they must be kept
under shelter in stormy weather.
Many successful poultrymen make it
rule never to allow the laying hens
to get their feet into the snow. They
must have vigorous exercise or they
will not lay and they do not stir
about theoretically outside when the
ground is cold and the fields offer no
green food or insects to tempt them.
Instead they are inclined to stand on
one foot and warm the other be-
meath the feathers.
Confine the flock under shelter
with southern exposure, admitting
free sunlight and fresh air; scatter
the grain rations in deep litter; pro-
vide protein in skim milk or beef
scraps; supply mineral matter in oy-
ster shell and ground bone; substi-
tute cabbage, mangels, alfalfa hay or
sprouted oats for the green feed or
summer diet and it will be surprising
how the hens respond to this imi-
tatlon of summer diet and environ
ment.

ALL OF THE NORTHWEST

IN SEATTLE LAND SHOW

The success from every point of
view of next years Land Products

Seattle, is abundantly assured by the
personnel of it's recently formed or
ganlzatlon, which includes the presi-
dent of each of the four large COM
merclal organizations as we'll as the
principal officer in the west of each
railway and steamship transporta-
ton line.
There is the same relative reason
for Northwest Land Products Dairy
and Stock show exploiting the won
derful advantages Of the entire
northwest and Alaska, as there is for
the various state fairs of this Sec
ton exploring the advantages of
their respective states. There is,
however, this difference, that north
west Land Products. Dairy and Stock
snow should be on much larger
scale, and the present management of
the show to be held in Seattle fully
realizing this has provided ample
capital to make the Seattle show the
kind Of an exposition which it should
be, under the circumstances. The
Seattle show has the backing finan-
clalIy, morally and otherwise, not
only of the business interests of Sc
attic, but very largely of the princi-
pal business interests of the entire
northwest.
The officers of the new company
are positive in their statement that
every effort will be made to make
the Seattle show the largest show
Of Its kind that has ever been held
in the United States.
The immense success with which
the Seattle show met last year as a
first attempt together with the extra
ordinary arrangements which have
been perfected for increasing the
size of the show next year indicates
that one can confidently expect to
see in Seattle in 1917 one of the
best, if not the best, exhibits of it's
kind that has been held in America.

If your hens are not laying, try a
change of feed. All the component
elements that make an egg must be
provided or there will be no eggs.
If even decently fed, the hens will
look and feel we'll. Nature provides
for that first-the hen and then the
eggs. Perhaps you are already feed
ing a scientifically compounded ra-
ton. If it does not bring the eggs it
fails to accomplish the object OF
nowledge-results. We know what
it takes to make an egg, but not what
a particular hen or bunch of hens
need for this result. This is no doubt
in large part due to the fact that hens
are kept not under one set of condi-
tons, but under all sorts.
I suppose that everyone has some
time failed to induce hens to lay.
know I have, and also to induce cat
tie to fatten or horses to exhibit en-
ergy for food consumed. A change
of feed may be beneficial simply be-
cause it is better relished or be-
cause it is compounded better to meet
the animals need. Lacking exact
knowledge, We must cast about like
the huntsman or fisherman at fault
until we find the solution. The more
experience we have, the more likely
we are to cast in the right direction
and to apprecis te the surroundings.
One would not cast up wind for a
fox nor for a trout on top of the
waters on snowy day, for if he
feeds at all he feeds under water. So
with a flock of Leghorns or Plymouth
Rocks that are receiving an ample
egg ration and yet fail to lay. We
must seek the cause in different d.
rections.
Food May Be Adding Fat
If both flocks are receiving a ra-
ton sufficient for the production of
an egg every other day, and not lay
ing it, the food is accomplishing some
other purpose. With the heavy breeds
it is very likely producing much fat
and torpid livers and day by day an
increasing Discrimination to exercise.
The lighter feathered breeds may be
stimulated to increased activity by
the cold. They can always be bet
ter trusted not to overeat themselves.
The egg that is not laid may about re-
present the increased amount of feed
you have failed to provide for in
creased body heat to offset extreme
cold. No one can ever teach all
these things, and no rigid feeding sys-
tenn provides for them, you can lay
to that.
If feeder of any kind of stock is
not interested and observant enough
to realize that he makes lots of mis-
takes he will nevnr amount m ,,o,,oh
In matter so complicated by likes,
dislikes and such variety of circum-
stances it is only part of the time
that our prescience will prove suffi-
cient. knowledge after the fact is
not enough. For instance, you are
feeding bunch of lambs. There is
sharp drop in temperature. Their
appetites are Immediately increased.

NEW HOMESTEAD
LAW IS ASSURED
ALL DISPUTED POINTS ARE
SMOOTHED OUT BY CON-
FERENCE COMMITTEES.
OF Particular Interest to Farmer
Stockmen; Requires Three Years
Residence With improvement, But
No Money Payment Except Filing
Fees.

All the disputed points in the Fer
ris bill to provide $40 acre home
steads, principally for grazing pur-
poses, have been smoothed out in
conferences between house and SEN
ate, and it is expected that the meas
ure will soon be placed. The bill has
been supported by the interior de-
partment and western congressman
as a measure for further opening the
public domain, and is of particular
interest to Montanans.
Opens Millions of Acres.
Many millions of acres of non-agri-
cultural, non-mineral, non-irrigable
land would be opened to stock rails
ing homestead settlement under the
bill, and it is regarded as one Of the
most important affecting the public
domain passed il years. Under it
the lands will be open to any one
upon entry and three years residence
payment whatever except ordinary
filing fees.
Means Thousands of Filings.
Representative Ferris, author of
the measure, predicted ten thousand
persons are likely to 60 from each OF
a number of middle western states to
take up homesteads.
A section to which administration
officials objected authorizing those
already holding homesteads to pur-
chase not exceeding 800 acres of con-
tiguous stock raising land at $1.25 an
acre, was stricken out, in order to
prevent speculation.
The agreement provides that where
an applicant for stock raising home
stead entry applies for entry before
the character of the land has been Of
ficially designated he will acquire no
rights against the government, al
though his rights will be good against
later entrymen. The purpose of this
was to prevent tying up lands by en-
trymen attempting to stop the gov
eminent from making another CLASH
fication and requiring it to institute
Qlspossession proceedings.

That voting machines cannot be

such machines accommodate the pIesi-
dental, referendum and state ballots,
is the opinion of Attorney General
owen given to Louis J. Fellenz dis
trict attorney of Fond du Lac county.
Mr.. Fellenz, in his inquiry, asked
for an opinion on the legality of the
proposition of voting the presidential
and referendum ballots by a paper
ballot and the state ballot on a voting
machine in precincts where the vot-
ing machines are used.
1T would be entirely practicable to
conduct the election in the manner
you suggest" says the attorney gen.
eraI, "but reading of the election
statutes creates the impression that no
such plan of procedure was in the
legislative mind While the question
is not free from doubt, have con-
Guided that it should be answered in
the negative; that it IS not permitted.

lot, to vote the official ballot on the
machine and the other ballots in the
usual way"

Extend Vocational Training.

At the recent meeting of the state
board of industrial education held in
the capitol, the state movement for in
petus beyond anything which has been
developed thus far throughout the
country.
1t is not generally understood that
the work of the Wisconsin schools,
which are established for the unliru-
tied educational opportunity Of eli per-
sons who are not able to take advan-
tage of the already established public
schools is away beyond that of any
other state in the country.
During the past year there were
over $4,000 people in the state who
were able to take advantage of this
specialized form of educational oppor-
tunity which provides for unlimited
training. If the housewife wishes to
learn how to make over clothing, to
cook, TO purchase economically. or the
workman wishes TO get special train
ing in mathematics, drawing, design
ing or other studies which will adj
vance him in his chosen occupation the
continuation schools will serve the
purpose. All that is necessary is to
make application to the local school.
The efforts of the board are so TO
supplement the endeavors of the
previously organized schools that
every boy and girl will be provided an
equal opportunity for training in his
or her chosen vocation with that given
by the state and cities TO the more for
tunate and favored children who have
the educational avenue established
through the high school and college
for training in the professions.
The report of the secretary showed
that much is being accomplished In
the way of extending the service.

more and more to the vocational in
terests of the people and greater econ
omy in the administration by bringing
together more closely instruction in
