colder.
Clean eggs, evenly graded, of one
color, bring a few cents to many cents
more per dozen.
Why should we mix the breeds of
poultry any more than we do the
breeds of horses. cattle and hogs?
Feeding. or allowing the fowls to
obtain in any way, spoiled meat or
grain is likely to poison their systems
and lead to expensive losses.
Be sure the fowls are in good flesh
at all times. If they are thin it is
proof that they are not getting suili-
cient nourishment or are sick.
The windows In poultry house
should be so arranged that the sun
reaches every part of the floor and
touches the roosts and nests at some
time during the day.

conventions.
Returns that were almost complete
today showed that landslide had

Bailey arrived in Dallas today.
Latest figures indicated that the

tional administration, would have
more than 1000 of the 1,4OO votes in
the state democratic convention on
May rs. The anti-administratio
forces, headed by former Senator
Joseph w. Bailey, according to the
available returns, will have less than
200 state convention votes. While
tabulators made no effort to record
the votes cast in the precinct meet
ings, having confined themselves to
the tabulation of county convention
delegates and their instructions on
national questions the incomplete re-
turns indicated that the balloting ran
about 6 to in favor of the national
administration. Although the in
dorsement of Woodrow Wilson was
overwhelming, none Of the returns
mentioned preference for any can
didate for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination.
Complete precinct returns will not
