\ ROUGHAGE RESERVE

The feeding Of cottonsccd cake does
not do away with the necessity for
roughagc, either in the form Of range
forage or in some other form. The
dry cured forage on the range will
usually meet this need, but in case Of
prolonged drought, such as occasional
~ comes in the Southwest. the supply
OF range feed may become exhausted.
TO meet such emergencies, it would
be distinct advantage to accumulate
Il reserve supply Of roughagc in the
form Of hay or cnsilaee during the
more favorable years.

HENS REPAY GOOD FEEDING
BY BETTER EGG PRODUCTION
Selection of A Good-Laying Strain,
Culling Out the Sluggards, and
Feeding for Eggs Production Will
Result in Plenty of Eggs.

"There isn't any money in hens. Of
course, we want fresh eggs and plenty
OF chickens to eat on our own table,
but as for their being a money making
proposition there's nothing to it. Why,
they don't even pay for their keep
This statement is often heard on the
lips of farmers who give these fowls
very Indifferent care, and do not keep
any records of the cost Of feeding or
of the receipts returned. A flock of !
poultry properly managed on farm
will return a greater profit than under
any other condition sbecause they pick
up large amount of waste products
and only comparatively small
amount of feed has to be bought. |
Much greater returns would be secur-
ed fro mthe average farm flock if the
poor layers were culled out, as some
of the birds hardly pay even for this
feed which has to be purchased This |
keeping of a free boarding house
for a lot of hens is as poor business, /
however, for the general farmer as
it is for the poultry man who is max
ing business of egg production.
A hen that lays no eggs requires as
| much feed and care as one that LAYS !
many. The thrifty see to it that their !
flocks consist of layers.
Requisites for Egg Production.
Hens of good egg-laying strain
will lay more eggs, in the course of a
year, than will flock Of mongrels.
In the majority Of instances it is not
feasible to sell all the old flock and
start new standardized one; but, If
standardized roostcrs are used to head
/ the flock for three or four generations
the resulting flock vii resemble pure
bred fowls. The better way, however,
is to get Matching eggs from a good
strain Of purebred fowls.
| Culling must be practiced in all
fiocks if a profit is to be made. In the
better flocks few birds will be discard
ed, but in the ordinary farm flocks
from 40 to GO per cent are often found
| to be poor layers.
Only little practice is required be-
fore person can readily distinguish
| between good laying hen and poor
one. County and home demonstration
agents give this information by
means of demonstrations and the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
has published a circular which tells
no VITO Gull.
Feeding is one of the most impor
tant factors in egg production. On !
poor rations hens vii live and even
keep in fair health; but we'll balanced. ,
palatablce feeds are necessary to get
good egg production. The additional
cost of good ration compared with
poor ration is repaid many times by
the extra eggs obtained AS a rule
the simplest feed mixtures, composed
OF homegrown grains and their by
products, supplemented by sweet or
sour milk or some animal feed rich in .
protein, such as meat scrap, will prove
most profitable and will produce eggs
at the lowest cost.
There is no one best ration for all
conditions, but many of the grains can
b" fed Interchangeable, depending on
their availability and price. /

OBITUARY.
Charles H. Geer.

Charles H. Geer, of this city, we'll known as a marine engineer, died at his home on Woodmansee avenue on Thurs day morning about 1 o'clock, following an illness of long duration.
 MT. Geer's life has practically all been spent as a marine engineer with the ex- ception of the last few years when he retired from active life He was born in this city on September z. 1880. and he has made his home here with the ex- ception of a few years which were passed in New London. He was the son of George W. Geer and Elizabeth But ton Geer whose ancestors were early set tiers in this section of New England
 On February 5. 1857, in Norwich. Mir Geer was united in marriage with Emily L keables of Potter Hill, R. T., by Rev. John P. GuTTiver. As a marine en- eineer MT. Geer ran on steamers on the Norwich line to New York and other sound lines. In the Civil war he was on government transports He had round ed Cape Horn on steamships bound for San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands The later years of his active life he was engineer on government lighters that supplied the light houses on the New England coast He was very capable in his calling. For number of years MT Geer had lived a retired life He Is survived by his wife and three children, Herbert C. Geer and Arthur NJ. Geer. and Mrs. Calvin L. Swan, all of this city.

the open and the weight of public opinion saw that justice was done.
 There has been no abolition of the right to strike, for it was found that it you denied men the right to strike, while they might keep on working. they would strike on the job and furnished fruitful ground for the whispers of I. ". W.-ism The effort has been to make the .rela- tions as near right as possible by law and hope that the antagonisms would be dissipated.
 An important thing done since the war has been to get labor back to the land but no absolute solution has been found yet There are the government mortgage banks to lend money, land is allotted on easy terms, bought if necessary, blocked off in plots of five to twenty acres for the workingman, and the soldiers have been given farm training with pay and allotted land of the best kind with 42 years to pay for it. Sixty per cent. of the return ing soldiers expressed willingness to join this back to the land d>movement under the conditions offered.
 Some things done in the way of na- tionaiization have proved good there but might not be the same here. The rail ways have been nationalized as a neces- sary step in the land development move ment. The telephone and telegraph sys- tenns have been nationalized with more or less satisfactory results. Some trading enterprises have been nationalized in some of the states but it has never been proposed to nationalize the means of pro- duction, distribution and exchange.
 In conclusion he said that Australia Is watching America and he urged that the people march forward in the spirit oi optimism and altruism, for this will win because it has behind it the spirit of the constitution, the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount mad of the Golden Rule.

HOW AUSTRALIA MET WORK CRISIS

Thursday night closed the Chautauqua season here, and Hon. Crawford Vaughn, ex-premier of Australia, was the speaker on the final night, addressing an audience of over 500 upon the subject of Aus tralia's Industrial Crisis and How It Was Met
 In his introductory words he referred to the great obligation which Australia felt towards the United States for the ideals of freedom expressed in the con- stition of this country, which had been taken as model for the Australian con- stitution. Taking up the question of cap ital and labor, he said that this problem seems to have been emphasized by the war and we seem to have divided into two armed camps on the subject. The diffi- culty has been over the distribution of the fruits of industrial effort, the inequitAble distribution. for side by side with i'm mense wealth we see appalling poverty We are to blame. We have commercial ized labor and you can't expect labor to work on an altruistic basis unless capital IS also on an altruistic basis
 What Australia has done is to mt the labor man into power. This has not pre- vented strikes: indeed, there have been some serious ones, and the strike has been used as political weapon by the minority to bring the majority to it's feet, an affront to democratic institutions.
 For one thing that has been accom- pllshed there has been the abolishrnent of the sweating system which hourished in Australia as bad as it was in the days when Tom Hood wrote his Song of the Shirt. The wage boards have been ex- tended to cover every important industry except agriculture. Then there has been the compulsory arbitration act, by which when there were threats of strikes all the issues involved were brought out into

Miss Fargo says: "For a long time I have been suffering from a nervous breakdown and severe headaches and I had no appetite and felt run down and tired out most of the time and was dreadfully nervous, the slightest noise seemed to irritate me. and the least little thing that got on my. nerves gave me a dreadful headache. Some of my friends who had used CINOT advised me to try it and I did with wonderful results and cannot say too much for the Tonic CINOT." sa

 RANsACKED BY THIEVES

Paris, July 1.-Landru, the Gambais bluebeard as the police call him, who mas been in La Sante prison for 14 months awaiting trial on murder charges growing out of the disappearance of Il women to whom he is alleged to have promised marriage, received what he told his law yer to be the greatest shock of his life a few days ago.
 His lawyer had just informed him that his villa at Gambais where Landru is accused by the police of having done away with his numerous finances had ben ransocked and pillaged by burglars. The villa is famous as it was the last place that the missing women entered and from it they were never seen to come out.

NORWICH WAS FORTUNATE
 IN FIRES THE PAST YEAR

The year beginning July l. 1919, and ending June 50 1920, was banner year for the local fire department and speaks exceedingly well for the management of the department, considering the need of more motor driven apparatus in the outlying sections of the city There were only 134 alarms the majority being telephone calls, turing the year and a small comparative loss. The largest loss by fire was the one that occurred at An drew's bakery on Summit street several weeks ago, the second largest being the fire in the garage on Whites Cour:
 In comparing this years fires with those of previous years it is found that there were less in the year just closed than in any other year with the excep- tion of 1909. There were 175 fires during the year 1s1S-1s1S while during the year 1s13-1914 there were 24S fires which was the largst year in the history of the department.

MEXICO CITY: THE ROME
 .A OF THE AMERICAS

'In all the world one cannot find a more remarkable capital than Mexico City" says Will Joseph Showalter, in a communication to the National Geo. graphic Society, concerning an inter- est centr of the present Mexican rev. olution.
 z .'Situated in a valley whose floor is a mile and half above the level of the sea, and whose borders are surrounded by towering mountains located where the beautiful volcanoes, Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl. rear their snow cap ped heads above the plain and stand eternal guard over it, its situation is one of rare beauty and grandeur. It's climate is mild the temperature rang ing from 35 to 70 degrees, with mean of 65. degrees No man sleeps without a blanket in Mexico City, nor needs an .oyercoat at midday.
 Prior to the conquest the lakes of the Mexican valley were extensive and the barges of the Aztecs sailed unin- terruptedly from the gates of Chapul- tepec to Ixtapalapa- A large number of canals intersected the ancient me ,tropolisEof Tenochtitlan and connect ed With the lakes in the suburbs, mak- ing it a sort of new world Venice.
 "fh 1897 the celebrated Portuguese engineer Martinez undertook to drain the valley Of MeXlco by- cutIlng can al through the mountains. The work however, was largely failure, since it drained only, one small lake and an unimportant river, leaving lakes Tex coco and Chaleo still perpetual men aces to the city.
 "In 1873 huge drainage canal 50 miles long was begun, which was com pleted in 1900, at a cost of about $S,- 900, 900, American gold. Its comple- ition removed the danger of inundations from Mexico City and solved the prob lem which occupied the thoughts and engendered the fears of the A7tecs as far back as 1449.
 Mexico City is the most complete mixture of the ancient and the modern to be found in the New World. The old city might date anywhere from the tenth century, from it's appearance The new city is ultra modern, and you step from the sixteenth to the twen- tieth century by walking across the street..
 The parade ground of Mexico City is the Avienda de San Francisco. This short street extends from the Mexican White House to the AlameySl, and is only about 24 feet from curb to curb Here. at the approach of twilight every smart eQuipage in the capital
