POULTRY NOTES.

hen is in her best condition only
when she is seen industriously at work.
Nothing will more quickly make
scrubs out of good stock than scrub
treatment.
Perches should be built low and ar
ranged so they can easily be taken
out and cleaned.
Uniformity in the size of eggs can
best be obtained by keeping one stand
ard breed of hens.
If ducks are overfed, they sometimes
become so fat that their legs are in
capable of supporting their bodies.
Every poultryman should lay in q
supply of alfalfa and clover for HIS
fowls during the winter Green feed
is as essential as grain.

If every farm flock could be rid of
the drones and worthless members that
lay few eggs, there would at once be
an amazing increase in profits.
One of the greatest drawbacks to
successful poultry-keeping is the at
tempt of many folks to crowd 80 fowls
where there is only room for %.
One of the greatest mistakes in
feeding poultry is that of giving an
exclusive grain ration. Meat, green's,
vegetables, ETC., SHOULD all have a
place.
Poultry raising is similar to farm
Ing in that it is not so much the num-

Meat Scraps and Waste Vegetables
Make Excellent Feed for Chicken
Flock.
DecOmpOsed waste material or moldy
bread or cake should never be saved to
feed to the hens, as it is harmful to
them and may cause serious bowel
trouble. Sloppy materials, such as
dishwater, should not be thrown into
their pail. 1t is also useless to put in
such things as banana peels or the
skins of oranges. as these have little
or no food value.
Any sour milk which is not utilized
in the house should be given to the
chickens. This should be fed separate
", however, either by allowing the
hens to drink it or by allowing it to
clabber on the back of the stove and
feeding it in that condition When the
family's table waste is not sufficient
for feeding the flock, it is usually pos
sible to get some of the neighbors who
keep no hens to save material suitable
for feeding. Many people are glad to
10 this if small pail in which to pu1
The waste is furnished.
Table scraps and kitchen waste arr
BEST prepared for feeding by running
hem through an ordinary household
food chopper or meat grinder. Afte,
he material has been put through th'
grinder it is usually a rather moist
mass. and it is we'll to mix with it some
torn meal, bran or other ground grail
until the whole mass assumes a crum
bly, condition. The usual method is t,
feed the table scraps at noon or night,
or at both times, as may be desired, in
trough or on a board. All should be
fed that the hens will eat up clean, and
If any of the material is left after one
half or three-quarters of an hour, it
should be removed. If. allowed to re-
main it may spoil and be very bad for
the hens

LONGER TRANSMISSION LINES

Why has long distance transmits
sion been developed so extensively
IN the west? In the early wears of
it's development, fuel was scarce and
expensive. there being no deposits
of coal close at hand and the oil
fields not having been developed.
The country was being developed
and power was needed. This combi-
nation made the lure of the noun
tain streams very strong Their wa
ter was continually falling from
higher to lower elevations without
doing any useful work. They wee
possible source of needed power,
but the power could not be used
near the place where it could Re
generated. These conditions made
it necessary to transmit the power
over long distances, and electrical
transmission was the solution of the
problem.

EXAMINER MOVES INTO
|COMMODIOUS QUARTERS

The Examiner plant has been NOV
ed to the building formerly occupied
by the Chesapeake Cafe, now owned
by Luke Roghaar and Frank Snnder-
land The interior of the building has
undergone complete renovation. and
when all details have been completed
the Examiner will be housed az good
as many OF the leading papees in the
state, and better than many OF them,
The new location gives us consid-
erable more floor space, which was
accomplished by arranging the ma
chinery and equipment In more con-
venient manner, thus eliminating
much wasted space, as was the case
in tho old quarters. The re-arrange-
ment OF tho equipment will greatly
increase the efficiency OF our job and
newspaper plant, enabling us to give
even better service to the public than
in the past.
In week or ten days the arrange
ment OF the office will be completed
and we extend hearty invitation 10
our many friends and patrons Of Bear
Lake county to call and inspect the
office. A visit to the new quarters
will be delight to all those who had
become accustomed TO looking upon
the Examiner office as one OF the
dingiest, and dirtiest, II You please,
business quarters IN the city. 1t has
been our ambition ever since taking
over the business to move into more
commodious quarters.

WHEAT MOISTURE
MAY CAUSE Loss

The Examiner has learned from
several reliable sources that there
Ia grave danger of the farmers in
Bear Lake county sustaining heavy
losses through moisture In wheat in
storage in the farmers bins. Daily
shipments leaving Montpelier and
other shipping points In the county,
show in practically every instance,
moisture from IA to 20 per cent
according to returns from the buy
ers. This condition places the grain
in lower grade and consequently
brings q lower price.
During cold weather 1t Is quite q
risk to ship wheat which tests IA
per cent moisture, and as change
in weather to warmer can be looked
for In the next 15 to 20 days, farm
ers should lose no time in examin-
ing the wheat in the bins very close
ly and see what condition 1t is in.
Farmers may not be satisfied with
the prevailing price, yet it would be
much better to accept that price and
unload such grain as would heat in
warm weather. The price on wheat
was at standstill during the past
ten days, the price offered being
Sill and SILT per bushel. Vest
erdays quotations were Sill and
s1.14 per bushel, and 1t Is quite a
question that there will be much, II
any advance.
It is reported that California has
surplus OF $4,000 bushels of bar
ley and no market. Corn can be
delivered in Montpelier for $1.40 a
hundred bulk, Wholesale, so farm
Eers can readily see the conditions
they are up against.
We are not prophets in advising
the farmers that the market will 60
up or down, but leave 1t to the good
judgment of themselves to do as
they think best with the above con-
ditions in existence. If in their judg.
ment they think 1t wise to sell now
there ID ready market for wheat al
the above prices.
Some have been of the opinion
that there has been no market, and
have circulated reports to that eff
feet This Is an error, aa there hat
not been Q time since the grain was
harvested last fall that there hasn'l
been q market for grain, and tht
money has been available at all
times to pay for the grain upon de
livery.
During the week a car Of wheat
loaded at Bancroft was dumped at
Ogden on account Of too much mois.
ture, and farmers may well take this
incident for an example and guard
their grain bins.
