to run up on the side of the bank
None was injured, but the car was

COW or the family dairy herd, be

IT is easy to sell but suppose you

higher when you buy than when
you sell. Perhaps we are cross

Selecting Hens to Keep

In selecting hens to keep over,
preference should be given to

" to be rough in plumage with

however, are merely incidental tc

Hens that appear in prime con

BIG MINE DEAL
FOR ALPINE COUNTY
The most important mining deal

The most important mining deal
to take place i'll Alpine county in
recent years, was closed up last
week, when VIM. Sharp, engineer
for the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines Company, c. Darcy, con
sulting engineer of the same com
pany, Ben Henley and Frank Fav-
rie, also members OF that com
pany, bonded the Curtz mining
property in that county, for a
price said to be 100000, of which
a substantial payment was made
when the papers were signed.
The new company has already
taken charge and crew of men
put to work. Il Is the intention OF
the new owners, according to re-
ports from Markleeville. to work
about twelve men this winter get
ting things in shape for spring
when the property will be worked
on an extensive scale. The Lodges
carry copper, gold and silver and
much development work has beer
done under the Curtz manage
'ment.
The fact that Goldheld mer
have interested themselves in the
mining game in this locality. Is
hailed with delight by all In Al

SAVE GOOD YEARLINGS
Desirable to Keep Them in Order
to Increase Poultry and Egg
Supply

Among farmers generally it is
the common practice to sell the
hens that are past a year old for
poultry when they stop laying in
the fall. Under the usual condi-
tons this is good policy, for as a
rule about half OF the flock lay
well enough the second year to be
profitable, and the farmer who has
pullets enough to replace all his
old hens sees no advantage in keep
ing any OF them over.
This year, however, those patri-
otto farmers who desire to do their
part to increase the poultry and
egg supplies will find it desirable
to retain considerable proportion
OF the yearling hens. Farmers in
the corn belt especially will find
it to their interest to hold all the
good yearlings they have, making
such addition to their poultry
house equipment as may be neces-
sary to properly accommodate both
pullets and hens. Overcrowding
must be avoided, as neither pull
lets nor hens will do their best.
