A DAY LATE.

On account of being short of help
and the enormous lot of job printing
IN the Office, the Eagle is day late
this week. Cap. Nub" is the only
help we have, and when it is consider
ed that we have to edit the paper,
make estimates of printing, set all
the ads and jobs, answer all telephone
calls, keep up with our correspondence
and keep the books, keep the machin-
cry going. collect bills, and do few
other things about the Office besides
making up the paper, and mailing it,
you can imnagine how busy we are.
We need a good machine operator

Breeding furnishes the most ecOnom-

tons OF high-produeing ancestors back
of him, must be used for breeding, and
only the best heifers from the best
cows should be chosen to be the dams

ing alone does not make good sire.
The purebred sire should come from a
long line of high-producing ancestors.
If an old bull is selected he should have
high-producing daughters. Two courses
are open to the dairyman when buy
ing a herd bull; he can purchase a
young bull from good. milk producing

Guillotine traps Of the type shown

Broken fresh eggs are. good bait at

bait placed directly under it.
Oatmeal (rolled oats) Is recon-

made with wooden base and trigger

venient to use on, lodges or other mar
dow rat runs or at the openings Of
rat burrows. They are often used

SELECTION OF POULTRY FEED
Reduce Cost by Using LoW-Priced Sub
stItute Grains-Oats Are Cheap
er Than Corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
While farmers, as rule, have fed
their poultry the grain that was cheap
est on the farm, many poultry spe-
cialfsts and most small poultry keep
ers have been accustomed to use their
favorite poultry feeds without consid-
ering either the quality of the sup
ply or the possibilities Of using cheap
er substitutes.
Under normal conditions, corn in
nearly all parts of the United States
is the cheapest poultry feed. At the
present time, oats are nearly every
where cheaper than corn. When corn
goes down to $1.50 a bushel, oats
should be 70 cents and barley $1.20
busheI to give the same value for
the money fed to poultry, as corn.

lions OF grain which roughly determine
their values as poultry feeds are cas-
lily estimated by the eye, or by weight

Oats with the hulls on are at once
