HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

The trouble with good many peO-
pie who keep hens Is that they don't
apply the rule You can't get out of a
thing more than you put into 1t. This
is the way that ID. III. Reid, Wisconsin
college of agriculture. sizes up the
matter of feeding for egg production.
The hen puts into the egg what she
is fed, says Mr.. Reid. She dislikes
counterfeits and refuses to lay coun-
terfeit eggs. An egg contains the same
constituents as corn and wheat, but
II has larger percentage of protein
than either. Chemists find that eggs
are simply water, protein and ash, and
that more than one-half the egg Is wa
ter. less than one-sixth protein, and
about one-siXth fat.
The ordinary hen eats about four
ounces of feed day. If she were fed
on wheat alone she would receive only
enough lime to make one egg every II
days. On the other hand, she would
have enough carbohydrates to make
three eggs day, but as she refuses
to vary the quality of her eggs, she
will lay only as many as she has lime
for. So on wheat diet without oys-
ter shell, her egg production will be
very low.
However. even IL given oyster shell.
she would have only enough protein
to lay one egg I'm three days, and her
egg production would still be very low.
Without the materials she needs to
lay an egg, she simply refuses to lay.
BY adding some high protein feeds, as
meat scrap and oilmeal, her ration can
be balanced so that, II she eats four
ounces of food, she gets enough pro-
teln and limestone with carbohydrates
to make an egg at least two days out
of three, always providing she has wa
ter enough to supply the large percent
age necessary to the egg. Even 30 per
cent production Is considered pay
Ing proposition.

Lettuce Fields Of 80 to
40 Acres in California

Lettuce is being grown on field
scale In the Imperial and Salt river
valleys of California, fields of from 80
to 40 acres being not extraordinary.
At tie height OF the production sea-
son-January and February-it is not
uncommon for 20 carloads Of lettuce
a day to be shipped to the middle
Western and Eastern markets. This
lettuce, grown under irrigation, is pro-
duced by hand labor and is OF extra
fine quality. The industry was devel-
oped on a commercial basis about
three years ago and during the last
two years has been one of the leading
agricultural occupations of the state.
These localities also produce carrots,
peas, caultiower and table beans on q
less extensive basis.

SCOUTS LIKE WOOL CAMP BUDS

Bodily moisture can evaporate
through woolens much more easily
than through cotton or linen cloth,
which keeps the moisture in Its texture
until 1t is thoroughly saturated. And
II is the dampness next to the skin that
causes colds and chills--so stick to
woOlens.
But, see that you wash 'em right
You kin their BITTERNESS right Off II
you let little bits of soap get In be-
tween the fibers and thus clog up the
channels through which the moisture
is supposed to go.
A good way is to soak the garments
In lukewarm suds, then squeeze out
the water by pulling the woolens
through the hands. And don't twist or
wiring, II you don't want to invite
stretching or shrinking.
Just get out as much OF the water as
you possibly can and hang the "duds"
up to dry.

But OH the diamonds o. her eye!
She hath no bank account nor wealth,
Yet lov'd not less apart
For she hath smiles and she hath health
And OH the gold within her heart!
My dearie is o. lowly birth,
No blue blood In her vein;
For her, no coronets o. earth
But oh! the queen o. loves domainl

For you are mine. l love thee more.
Till the sun grows cold In the desert sky!

1O5 WITNESSES IN
NOTED MURDER CASE

noteworthy crimintl trials in South
eastern Kentucky in recent years will
start in the Knox circuit court this

monwealth against Tom Middleton
charged with the killing Of Steve Phil
pot, Harlan county Deputy Sheriff, and
transferred from Harlan to Knox
county. Middleton, Chief of Police OF
Harlan, is alleged to have shot and
killed Philpot during raid Christ
mas week, one year ago, and the coun-
ty at the time was divided because Of
the alleged feeling between county
and city police authorities.
One hundred and five witnesses have
been summoned here to testify and a
host of lawyers has been employed by

rial the famous Hatfield-McCoy cases.
Both sides have announced readi-
ness for trial.

HISTORIC RIVER SPOT
SOON TO DISAPPEAR
Blannerhassett Island Being Under
mined BY Waters Of Ohio River
Once Contained Many Acres.


Blennerhassett Island, lying in the
Ohio river three miles below Park
ersburg, w. Va, may exist in few
years only in history. When Hermann
Blannerassett, the wealthy Irishman,
later dupe of Aaron Burr, purchased
1t and brought his bride to make their
home there, 1t was three miles long
and contained about three hundred
acres. Probably its extent is not
much more than half that now, and its
sister island, formerly just below it,
has practically disappeared. Though
originally much smaller than Blenner-
hassett, 1t had a considerable area.
Now 1t is little more than a sand bar;
at times an acre or more peers above
the surface; at others, nothing, says j..
II. Galbreath in Columbus Dispatch.
Thes channel between the island and
the Ohio side is quite narrow, and two
persons with strong voices can easily
carry on conversation from shore to
shore. In flood stages Of the river a
strong current sets in there, which has
had much to do with the washing away
of the islands. There is a high bluff
on the Ohio side and the island must
give way to the force of the current.
Blennerhassett has been referred
to as a wealthy man, but he would
not be considered so now. Less than
fifty thousand dollars is the amount he
is said to hae spent in conerting the
wilderness into a garden spot and his
plans were not yet fully carried out
when he found his means practically
gone, and the temper Burr came along
on his questionable mission to the
west and involved him in his south
west empire enterprise.
Burr's visit to the Blennerhassett
seems to have been quite by acci-
dent. He travelled by boat on the Ohio
toward the west because there was no
better means of travel in those days.
Leisurely he took his course, probably
looking for followers as he went, and,
invited to stop with the Blennerhas-
sett, he found material exactly suited
