OBTAIN RESULTS
IN FEEDING HENS
Only Grain That It Is Necessary
to Crack for Mature Fowls
Is Corn.
GIVE SEVERAL MEALS A DAY
Dry Mash Method 10 Most Popular and
Convenient With Poultry Keepers
Who Are Absent From Home
During the Day.

The best results In feeding hens
for eggs are obtained by giving the
birds several meals day in such form
that they eat about equal amounts of
soft and hard feeds. When 1t Is not
convenient to hand-feed them in this
way, very good results may be obtain
ed by any plan that furnishes enough
feed, In the right variety. under such
conditions that they do not gorge them
selves at any time, and take exercise
enough to keep them in good condition.
Soft feeds for poultry are ground
grains and by-products, vegetables, the
flesh parts Of animal feed substances,
and table scraps, which are a mixture
Of such things. Hard feeds are whole
and cracked grains, and the mineral
parts Of animal feeds.
Mixture 10 Mash.
A soft feed mixture Is called 4 mash.
Washes are fed either in q moist or
In a dry state. The form in which the
mash IL given determines the manner
Of feeding 1t, and-to some extent
the method Of feeding the hard grain.
A moist mash II usually given as one
Of two or more regular meals, and In
such quantity that 1t is all consumed
within short time. Table scraps with
enough ground feed to absorb any ex-
cess Of moisture make q good moist
mash. A dry mash IL usually fed In .
hopper from which the birds can eat
at will at all times or at least, for sev-
eral hours daily.

venient for poultry keepers who are

winter days cannot attend to their
hens BY daylight. With an ample sup

vision has been made for all needs of
the hens, and they will lay well,
though not, perhaps, quite as many
eggs as when handled two or three
times daily.
Recipe Ter Dry Mash.
A good recipe for dry mash is:
Equal parts BY weight. cornmeal,

scraps. A good moist mash may be
made Of the same meal ingredients
with only one-third the amount of
beef scraps. because a larger proper
ton of concentrated animal feed In

Avoid Feed at Milking Time.

Cows will stand more quietly and the
milking can be done more comfortably
If the animals are not trying to eat
while they are being MIXED. Feeding
at milking time also may add dust and
other impurities to the milk.

Exhibit Of Spider Webs.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
sider web is SO fine and delicate that
unless covered with dust or sparkling
with dew It is almost invisible, the
American Museum of Natural History
is now displaying a series OF these
webs, IL in number, SO mounted on
dark backgrounds as to be plainly VS.

Is easily traced. The webs are accom-

In the web they spin; others spend
only the nights there, hiding during
the day in retreats often some distance
away, with single thread leading to
the web. One Of the larger spiders,

STATES REVENUES INCREASED.

Interest received upon state funds
in the hands of Henry Rines, state
treasurer, for the year ending May
1, 1913, amounts to $17O, 721.95, an
increase of $6O,259.7S over the pre-
,vious year. Some Of this increase is
due to an increase in funds, but thc
active banks which pay three per cent
interest as against two per cent in
the active or checking account banks.

Soldier Boys af Camp
Lewis, Wash, are Very
Well Cared for

Don't waste any sympathy on your
son at Camp Lewis, says the staff corr
respondent of the st. Paul Dispatch.
Just sit down by yourself and wish
you were as we'll situated as he and
enjoying life just half as much.
For he is not entitled to sympathy.
Candidly speaking, you have a right
to be jealous Of him.
Your son is situated in camp sur
rounded by low, wooded hills, where
gentle breezes watt cooling odors of
the pines across clear, sharply dein-
ed mountain tops where flowers grow
abundantly and where the climate is
comparable with that of any other
spot in the world.
Camp Lewis climatically is wonder
full. The temperature varies from 25
to 85 degrees. Occasionally there
might be colder or hotter weather, but
it is the exception. Summer consists
of clear, sunshiny days of perfect
weather If the open is trifie warm,
cool, fragrant spot awaits beneath
the nearest pine trees.
i Morality at Camp Lewis is excep-

cities to permit of women congregat-
ing in large numbers, and Tacoma
and Seattle, guarded by both war de-
partnient and citizens, offer little OF
the temptations of the big cities far.

nished in ample quantities in the

proximately five miles long and two
miles wide, and fringed on all sides
by wooded hillsides.
The camp is laid out in the form
of horseshoe with the head marked
by the division headquarters and the
parade, or open space, leading to the
east where Mount Rainier looms like
crystal gem against the sky.
Accommodations for $4,000 men are
afforded, and these are rapidly being
increased to provide quarters for
thousands more. There is no limit to
the capacity of the grounds.
Among the features of the camp
are a base hospital with a capacity
of 5000, and probably the least used
building in the district; a complete
sewer system, water system and cleo
trio lighting system. Policing is done
by the soldiers, and the grounds are
kept scrupulously clean.
Dogs alone would not thrive at
Camp Lewis. There are too many
stones handy to throw at them.
A system of motor busses provides
quick and cheap means of transporta-
ton from one point to another on the
reservation over dustless roads, OF

coma and other nearby cities.
The character of the men who
make up the remount division is en-
phasized by the. fact that for seven
months there has not been court

Near the entrance to the camp
proper is an amusement park oper-
ated by private citizens in co-opera-
ton with the government. 1t is built
in imitation of Swiss village and
looms picturesquely among the tall fiji
trees of the background. 1t furnishes
entertainment for men who tire of the
amusements of the camp itself.
Two infantry brigades, one artil-
lery brigade, engineers, sanitary
trains, ambulances companies and
police troops form the organizations
at camp.
Major General HI. A. Greene, q
bluff, able, efficient man, is in SUI
preme charge. His thoroughness is
evidenced on every side.

CLOSE LEGISLATIVE CONTESTS

E ---------- s4s#a ?
AS the primary election campaign
draws to close it is evident that the
legislative race in this district is going
to be very tight.
The Herald believes that the inter
ests of the people of this section will
besbest served by supporting DIR. P. A.
Hilbert of Melrose for reelection to
the senate. There are those three
candidates in the field: Senator Hill
bert, Mr.. Loonan, Nonpartisan League
candidate and Ferdinand Peters the
Cold Spring brewer.
Senator Hilbert has made a
thorough canvass Of TIE district with
Americanism as his slogan. Under
the circumstances he has bitterly at
tackled the leaders of the Nonpartisan
League and Chas. Lindbergh the
League candidate for governor. The
senator is not a gumshoer in any
sense and has carried the battle into
their strongholds, fearlessly exposing
the League and giving the farmers
facts and figures showing where they
have been mislead into supporting the
Townley propaganda.
There is no question but what the
three candidates for the senatorship
are wet. Mr.. Peters states that he is
seeking the place in order that he can
best serve the brewery interests. DR..
Hilbert is absolutely temperate in his
life and under the circumstances is
the logical man for the temperance
forces of the district to support.
From present indications Thos.
Flahaven the Nonpartisan League
candidate from Getty township will be
one of the men nominated for the
house Monday. Chas. r. Bruce high
grade citizen residing near Sank
Centre and John ]. Winters of Spring
Hill township present incumbent, are
the other candidates.
Mr.. Bruce is real live wire farmer
and is well equipped to serve the dis
trict we'll. He will undoubtedly re-
ceive a large majority of the votes {
this section. 1t will be necessary to
give him united support if he is to be
placed on the general election ballot.
