Danger Always Present
II is not easy to walk into a strange
building. stagger through smoke tilcd
halls, up twisting unfamiliar stairs
and, loaded with heavy boots and cum
bersome coat, drag a heavy hose up
until the nozzle is pressed almost
against the savage fire demon himself.
II is not any easier to order other men
to do it and wait half Informed of
what is going on. until the dmming of
the red glow inside the building tells
OF victory won.
The public is little informed of the
many brave battles that are back Of
the two sentence items. which usually
end, "the damage was trifing." Per-

DAILY NEWS ENTERS
 FIFTEENTH YEAR

April 8, 1907, The Prescott Daily News made it's initial appearance. The plant at that time was owned by II. B. Mckenzie, who had begun the publication of The Nevada News about year previous to the issuance of The Prescott Daily News. MT. Mckenzie was assisted in launching the paper by Chas E. Shankle and F. J. Johnson. The latter bought the daily and weekly News from MT. Me Kenzie December 8th, 1910, and is the present owner.
 The News has always endeavored to give it's readers the best paper pos sible and to keep it's columns clean of objectionable matter Politically, 1t has been Democratic. In the pri- maries we gave every candidate the same treatment. We consider Demo- cratic primaries, in a way, family affairs.
 The absence of political "rot" and long winded articles from world savers" has been noted since the first issue. Every town has some citizens who seek to place their personal grievances before the people through the press. The editor and owner of The News has been heer long enough to be familiar with all these writers, who would take the entire space of the paper for their personal use.
 Among the business firms who be- gan with us are Bank of Prescott, Prescott Hardware Co.,, Wm. Gee x Son, dry goods; J. B. Jordan, dry goods and groceries; w. B. Waller, dry goods and groceries; H. B. Me Kenzie, real estate; Palace Barber Shop, Prescott Mercantile Co.,, Baker Drug Store, Moncrief Drug Store, H. J. Wilson, grocer; T. c. Moody, plumber; Hit Bros, groceries; Ozan Mercantile Co.,, Hesterly Drug Store, Southwest Arkansas Telephone Co.,, Howard Terry, Geo. J. Terry Grocer Co.,, Mrs. Louella Moncrief, millinery; w. T. Hart, dry goods and groceries.
 Look around town today and see how many of these firms are in busi- ness. Note the ones who have adver- tisements in this issue. They are all good substantial business men and the best citizens.
 We have a complete file of the daily and will begin a column under the caption, "Prescott Fourteen Years Ago." and if you read this daily you will be reminded of many things that you have forgotten.

FEEDS FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Dry Mash ls Recommended In Add
ton 70 Assortment Of Grains
and Table Scraps.

In addition to the grain and the
table scraps given a backyard flock
1t is we'll 10 feed a dry mash. This
dry mash is composed Of various
ground grains and is placed in a mash
hopper or box from which the hens can
help themselves. The advantage Of
feeding such a mash is that the hens
always have access 10 feed, and this
tends to make up for any faulty, In
experienced. or insufficient feeding.
The hens do not Ike the dry mash
so well that they are likely TO over
eat, but It will supply source Of
feed in case they are not getting
enough grain feed. The dry mash al
so provides q suitable medium for
feeding beef scrap, a certain amount
Of which may or may not be necessary,
depending upon the amount Of meat
scraps available in the table waste.
IF the hens show a tendency to become
overfat It may be desirable 10 close
the mash hopper during a part Of the
day and allow them access 10 It only
during q certain period, preferably the
afternoon.
a good dry mash, recommended by
poultry specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, is
composed OF equal parts by weight Of
corn meal, wheat bran, wheat md
dlings. and beef scrap. Another Eesh
is composed Of three parts by weight
Of corn meal and one part beef scrap.
Still a third mash, which has given
excellent results, is composed Of one
pound Of wheat bran, one pound Of
wheat middlings, So pounds OF beef
scrap. and 16.j pounds Of corn meal.
The beef scrap used in the dry mash
is usually the most expensive in
gredient. but it is an essential part OF
the mash and very efficient for egg
production. II should not be elimi-
mated or reduced unless the quantity
OF meat in the table scraps IS con-
siderable or unless some other prod
uct can be substituted for il. Fish
scrap, when available, may replace the
beef scrap, or cottonseed meal can be
used 10 replace one-half the beef scrap
in the mash. No attempt should be
made TO replace more than half the
beef scrap with cottOnseed meal. as

This quantity Of poison IS sufficient te

localities where mice abound.
The poison can be kept from ami
