BY E. r. Lloyd. Director Cooperative Exn
Work a. s NJ. College.
Keep the hens at work is the
keynote OF an appeal now being sent
out over the state by E. p Clayton,
poultry specialist Of the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical College.
at this time when food prices are
soaring above even the dreams of the
SPECTATOR of two years ago, and
when every patriot leels it his duty
TO increase the efficiency of every
thing coming under his or her inllu-
ence, it is certainly not good bust
ness policy to let the hens that
should be producing high priced
eggs, loaf on the job
Proper housing aud feeding hlean
the difference between profit and
loss, says Prof. Clayton. There
is a constant call, he continued for
a poultry ration that will make hens
lay in winter. Taking into consid-
GRAFTON the widely varying cond-
tions under which poultry is kept,
the diversity of breeds and individ-
ual character and conditions OF the
poutry-it would be a physical i'm
possibility to give any one ration
sure to give satisfaction in all cases.
But by the use OF little good Judge
ment combined with knowledge of
the principle of feeds and their CON
stituents much may be done toward
increasing the winter egg crop
The hen is a machine to convert
raw feed into the delicious finished
product-the egg. That she may
produce eggs for her owners profit,
she must first have the quantity and
variety of feeds essential to her bod
ily needs. Green feeds like oats, rye
wheat, rape. collards and some of the
clovers are necessary that hers may
be healthy and may produce their
maximum number of eggs Protein
in some form is likewise essential.
Butter-miIk, an excellent protein
food should be gwen in liberal guam
Titles. Where it is available the far
mer NAV feed some by-product of the
packing houses, commercial beef
scraps for example. An excellent
protein feed is cottonseed meal. This
meal which is from 33 to 40 per cent
protein, has for a number of years
been fed with good results to dairy
cows and to beef animals, but until
recently has not been tried scientific
ally with poultry. Experiments at
this station with cottonseed meal as
the protein supply for laying hens
have shown the exceedingly high
value of this feed, especially for win
ter use.
For the production of eggs, the
station recommends equal parts of
cOttonseed meal, corn, wheatbran.
A little salt may be put into this
ration; one pound to the hundred is
advisable
This mash should be fed in clean
dry hoppers in dry sheds. If the
mash IS dry the hens will not eat
too much of &c. They should have
access to it at all times.
A grain mixture should also be
given the laying hen. This mixture
may be compose of corn 2 parts,
wheat 2 parts. oats part. In very
cold weather more corn and less oats
should be given as corn Is a heating
feed

Some have the idea that q news
paper should lick in and pursue an
iconoclastc course with refer ence to
those outcroppng evils which we see
in society. The socialists charge
cowardice that this is not done, and
at the same time TAIL to do it them
selves, though we all have to admit
they go after the other folks mighty
hard. Now the Herald has tried to
be practical in its policy along these
lines. We believe in giving milder
and not heroic doses of medicine if 1t
will serve the purpose just as well.
In some cases denunciation of the
people and practices by name might
bring about what's desired quicker
but at the same time we have found
that often an editorial delivered in
time warning of wrongful tendency
will serve the purpose and give the
offenders chance to change their
course and at the same time it saves
feelings all round. If they continue
obstinate then names have to come,
but most of the wickedness in high
places is wrought by folks OF not only
keen intellects bnt of sensitive dis
positions quick to take alarm, but
If handled the wrong way will prove
problem wherein the warning
notes give them a chance to escape
with whole hides and yet quit their
meanness where public veal and woe
is concerned. We are not winking
at wrongdoing understand but often
we hear of things that can not be
proven--and denounce before it be-
comes embOldened- and thus do our
part towards overcoming an unde-
sirable condition which developed
further, would mean proofs ana
court trials and family disgrace.

'WOMANHOOD' SCORES
 AT LYCEUM THEATER

Those who witnessed the showing of "Womanhood" at the Lyceum yes terday. were treated to one of the most stupendous and artistic photo play performances ever presented in this city. In addition to this feature which consisted of eight stirring reels, many other pictures were shown which equal the feature as works of art. Especially the O. Henry story film was very pleasing and was so well liked that the management will show them at the theater at regular intervals. Today and tomorrow are the only remaining days in which to sec the above features.
 Another attraction which enhanced the value of the picture was the clear and sharp manner in which the pie ture was projected on the screen. This is the result of the installati ton of two brand new machines of the latest
 type and an especially built gener- ator for moving picture work.
 Another treat awaits New Britain theatergoers in the showing of With in the Law next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Those who saw the play remember it as containing a story much better adapted for the screen than for the stage. This pie ture should pack the theater on all three days.

THE PAGE MYSTERY
 AT FOX'S THEATER

If you were convinced that you were guilty of murder. and were just about to surrender yourself to the police, what would you do if your worst enemy claimed that it was he who had fired the fatal shot? And then, supposing the girl you loved came forward in an apparent effort to shield the prisoner, and swore that she was guilty? This is only a sample of the perplexing situations that crowd "The Page Mystery" the feature of the Fox program for today and tomorrow. And the amazing part of it is, that each of the three, unknown to the other two, actually shoot at the dead man, with intent to kill, and each, consequently is con- vinced of his own guilt. An absolute revelation in mystery romances is this picture. in which June Mvidge, the winsome star of ''The Whip" plays the

leading role. Never before has there .been presented on the screen story of such dramatic intensity and baffling intricacy, and for the whole five reels, surprise follows surprise with a rapidity that would seem. impossible without sacrificing the logical struc- ture of the plot. From an artistic standpoint. too. 'The Page Mystery has received an abundance of highly favorable criticism. Tho majority of the scenes were filmed at Saranac Lake during the past winter ,and it is quite the best 'snow stuff'' that has been seen. Among tho interesting scenic incidents are the ice races on the frozen lake. and daredevil tobog- gan sliding.
 The best bit of travesty seen in many days is presented in Musty Suffers latest screen vehicle entitled Starlight Sleep" Tho past per- formances of this irrepresslble come dian are enough to guarantee fifteen minutes of rapid-fire laughter at any time, but with his present subject, he outdoes himself, and passes all pre- vious records for speed and hilarity.

 lasted but a moment. The next moment the veil had dropped again. But there fingered something in the mans manner which made me vague ly hopeful.
 Throwing back his shoulders as if he had suddenly decided upon a course of action, he took step toward me.
 You game little creature!" he said, and even through my agitation could not help but be amused by his use of the word 'little," for I am above the average feminine height. II am going to let up on you as far as I can. I can't throw up looking for Robert Gordon, but if you'll give me your word that you don't know his
 address, as you intimated last night,

and young vied in making merry. and not a word of discord could be heard on either hand. There is no doubt of the popularity of this form of ourdoor amusement. Prince George is miles ahead of his cousin Consul or Charles the first, both of whom have made their managers fortunes. The mile a minute girl and her brother who defy the laws of gravity in the hugh bowl of death are all that the press agents claim for them. The big trained wild animal show is even better than that of the late animal king Bostock who amazed all Europe as we'll as other countries with his animal acts.
 Then there is the smileless man who holds hands with the girls at the side show and agrees to marry the girl who can make him break his smileless countenance. while the many freaks and features of this show look on in compassion upon the girl who would fain marry such an ice- berg.

TRAINED SEA LIONS
 IN SPARKS CIRCUS

The Sparks World Famous Shows, billed to exhibit here Thursday, June 14, will present this year for their patrons appreciation the largest and without doubt the most wonderful herd of performing seals and sea lions eyer exhibited in America These truly wonderful animals perform seemingly impossible feats, and do them with ease and grace only assumed by human performers. They have been trained to walk . tight rope while skill fully balancing an open umbrella on the tips of their noses. They climb ladders while balancing large rubber balls. tossing them from one to the other with the greatest skill. They ride bareback on galloping horses while whirling brands of fire, juggling rubber balls and other articles. The performances of these remarkable sea animals is truly a sensation, and the ease and quickness with which they obey every command of Captain Tie- bor, their trainer, leaves little doubt but what they enjoy giving the per formance fully as much as the aud fence enjoy seeing 1t. Some idea of the expense incurred in presenting this act to the public can be obtained from the statement that these ani- mals must be fed on live dsh. which must necessarily be of the salt water variety. hence must come shipped alive from either the Atlantic or Pa cific ocean. It costs from, i've to ten dollars each per day to board these animals, varying according to the shows distance from either ocean. X

 arose unusually early upon the morning following my interview with MT. Drake, the guest Dicky had brought home with him for over night. I had scarcely closed my eyes during the entire night, and it was impossible for me longer to endure the torture of trying to lie still enough to keep from disturbing Dicky's slumbers.

 We were in the living room by this time. and the full glow of the elec- troiier shone upon my face. for it was not yet full daylight outdoors. I saw MT. Drake start as he looked at me.
