Hints on Coaxing Hens to Lay.

james Risley was in the city today
with big supply of eggs. Jim has
about IS hens and he's making those
old biddies lay overtime. He says he
is feeding them little of everything.
He thinks that about the best kind of
feed for hens at this time Of the year
is mash made from middlings which
he buys at the mill at $2.25 hun
dred weight. He boils potatoes and
mixes mash in with the contents of
the kettle. Three times a week he
feeds them an oat meal mash. He
gives the mash in addition to the reg
ular ration of corn, barley, wheat,
etc. H. 'e,arranging to feed them
boiled al. ala. cut up fine. He is also
trying out an egg producing dope
which is presumed to work wonders.
One must not neglect to give the hens
oyster shells. A little sulphur once
a week, mixed in with the mash will
keep them in good condition.

PROMINENT ENGINEER
PREDICTS PROSPERITY
Hans J. Meyer, Widely Known in Con-
struction Circles Over the North
west Is i'm Minot Today.

Hans J. Meyer, representing the
Charles l.. Pillsbury Co., engineers, of
Minneapolis, is spending the day in
Minot, comforting with Architest r. 8,
Stacy-Judd, regarding some work to
be done in the city this season. Mr..
Meyers firm is the largest of the kind
in the northwest, and was one of the
concerns engaged in the construction
Of the new Minot high school building.
Mr.. Meyer states 1nat the prospects
for building in the northwest the CON-
ing season are bright. In the east,
the great problem is to find occupants
for the various large plants which
were constructed for war work, but in
the northwest the great reconstruction
problems are now on. For several
years, scarcely a municipal project
has been constructed. The govern
ment now urges the cities to proceed
with their projects, furnishing en-
ployment to many and using the
wealth which has been piled up dur
ing the war. The United States has
come out of the war a far richer na-
ton than when we went into it. We
are not only richer in finances, but ia
experience as well. We have shown
the world that we can do things.
Mr.. Meyer stated emphatically that
it is now up to labor to work in has
mony with capital.
''We want to pay the men high
wages, but we do not want to pay
them promiscuously. Corporations
must make money on their investment,
or eventually they must close down
and there will be no work. Workme.
must learn to cut out waste Of all
forms. The man who works on line
shafting, for instance, must not waste
time. The man in the cotton mills
must work for his employers interest
Otherwise, the cotton mills must my
more for the line shafting and tie
man who works in the line shafting
plant, will have to pay more for his
cotton. There must be adjustments
all along the Fine.
ut is said that while we are edu-
eating our children, the fathers and
mothers must be educated as well.
Samuel P. Gompers has evidently been
educat Ted That's why he is in badly
with the I. w. W.relement.
"This is time for specializing.
Workmen must be competent There's
no place for the jack-of-all-trades.
Men can expect high wages only when
they are capable Of doing their very
best work. The differences between
capital and labor will all be ironed
out in time and everything will be
working smoothly, but both must
realize that each others interests
must be safeguarded.'
