DETERMINE AGE OF CHICKEN

You can rarely tell the age Of fowl
after it is over one year old. The tip
of young chickens breast bone Is
flexible. so are the pelvic bones. but
are rigid in the old fowl. The legs
and toes of a young bird are much
smoother than the old. There are
fewer pin-feathers In the old bird. and
more long hairs. The plumage of the
young bird is usually brighter and
smoother. and not so faded. as in the
older bird. The face of the old bird
is more wrinkled, and there is more of
a shrunken appearance around the
eyes. The hen often has baggy.
broken down effect behind. The spurs
are an indication Of age. If you notice
beneath the wings of an old bird. YOU
will fail to see an evidence of veins.
but In the younger birds the purple
colored veins are visible under the
wing. You will find the bottom or ball
of the foot of the mature birds harder
and much more callOused than i'm the
case of the younger fowl.

can only be done by supplying a sufii-
cient amount of labor to keep every
thing running. Some farmers favor
a smaller cutter and letting the filling
period extend over more time In some
instances this is probably an eco
nOmical practice. | know one man
who uses a small cutter with a chain
carrier-the type that demands the
least pOwer-and runs it with his
farm gasoline engine. He uses the or
binary help of the ranch with perhaps
an additional man or two and extends
the filling of a hundred ton silO over n
period of week. This of course has
the disadvantage very often of allow
ing part of the corn to become too
ripe. as IL is now, while that which
was put in first may be little green.
Different Cutters.
The cutter selected will depend
somewhat upon the kind of silO and

SLATED FOR HIGH ARMY COMMAND

Brig. Gen. Harry c. Hale was born
In Illinois July 10, 1861 and appointed
10 the Military academy from that
state in 1879. In 1883 he was promoted
to second lieutenant and assigned to
the Twelfth infantry, in which arm
of the service he has continued. Dur

captain in the regular establishment
he WAS made major of volunteers.
General Hale is one of the war

pOintmcnt was in command of the
Fifteenth infantry stationed ut Tient-

General Hale is considered an eX-

probably give best results. If the

ONE OF ARMY'S MOST VALUED OFFICERS

Brig. Gen. Clarence II. Edwards,
commander of Northeastern depart
ment, WAS born in Ohio January 1,
1859. and appointed to the Military
academy from that state in 1879. In
1883 he was appointed n second lieu
tenant in the Twenty-third infantry
and continued in that arm Of the
service until appointed chief of the
bureau of inSular affairs in 1906. Dur
ing the Spanish-American war he was
given increased rank in the volunteers.
General Edwards is one of the
Invest and most energetic officers i'll

has been most rapid. lie first came
into the limelight during the Philip
pine instructions following the war
with Spain. where he served as adj
jutant on the staff of Major General

point of distribution. while the lighter
portions, the husks and the stalks will
be scattered further away. This makes
it necessary to fork over the ensilage
and with the greatest of care the corn,
husks and stalks are not evenly dis
tributed. The distributor will give an
absolutely uniform distribution and
will save the labor of at least one man
in the silO; although there should al
ways be from two to three men tramp
ing inside while the filling is going on.
In filling it is well to keep the outer
edges a little higher than the center
and to do most of the packing at the
outside. The matter of packing Is very
important. Do not attempt to save
money on labor by cutting down the
number of men in the silo and while
they are there see that they keep
moving. A man standing in one place
all of the time does not give much
service.

IN FIGHT FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Not daunted by recent reverses at

negative on election day, with the adj

From the farm management stand
point 1t is always IL great deal better
to have things ready for the Silo long
before they are needed. 1t does not
take any more time to see that the
knives of the cutter are sharpened and
that the binder is in good working or
der at one period of the year than it
does at another and it may mean Il
good many dollars to the rancher.
writes c. w. Pugsley, in Field and
Farm. No money is saved by attempt
ing TO get along with too little help.
Filling the silo at the best is rather
heavy work and as rule we do not
like that part of it which demands the
handling of heavy bundles of corn. If
teams and men enough are on hand to
complete the work in short time and
less trouble will be experienced in get
ting help
Heaviest Expenses.
One of the heaviest expenses in con-
nection with filling is the cost of an
engine and an engineer, and when an
outfit Is hired the farmer should see
that it is used to full capacity. This
