GRAIN RATION FOR PIGEONS
Good Mixture May Be Made by Using
Corn, Wheat, Peas and Vetch-
Peanuts Are Good.

Many varieties of grains are used
in feeding pigeons. A good mixture
may be made of equal parts by weight
of small whole corn, hard, dry wheat,
peas and vetch, with a small quantity
(about five per cent each) Of hemp
and millet seeds added during the mott
ing period.
Other grains which may be substi-
tuted for or added to these are pea
nuts. dried garden peas, cowpeas,
clipped oats or hulled oats, buckwheat,
Egyptian corn, and milo maize, while
a small quantity of stale bread. rice,
rape, milIet. canary or sunffower seed
may be fed for variety.
Peas are expensive, but seem to be
essential to the best results, espe-
cially during the breeding season.
Peanuts, cowpeas and dried garden
peas give quite good results and some
times are used in place of field peas
when the latter are high in price. Soy
beans do not seem to be so well liked
by pigeons.
Tender green feed. such as freshly
cut clover, alfalfa and chard, lettuce,
plantain leaves and chickweed may
be fed, but is not essential.

Improved Gunnery in the Navy.

Analysis of the gunnery exercises of
the American navy during the past
year shows that the greatest progress
toward efficiency was made by vessels
of the battIeship class, due to the
large number of men aboard such
ships and the comparative stability of
the personnel. The navy department
considers that battleship gunnery is
at present about equal to that of
foreign battleships. 1t is be-
leved that next year vessels Of
other classes will be brought up as re-
CARDS gunnery to the level of our

PROPER MARKETING OF EGGS
Much of Animal Loss Can Be Prevented

United States is in excess of $6OO.OOO.-

there is a total loss Of nearly 8 per

This great loss is due largely to i'm

eggs as a by-product, and the returns
as so much clear gain. The hens for

HAUL ON UNIMPovED ROADS
Average Cost Per Ton Mile Estimated
at 22.7 Cents-AVerage Haul
Was "a Miles.

In 1906 the bureau of statistics Of
the department of agriculture deduced
an average cost per ton mile Of 22.7
cents based upon replies from in
quiries sent to about $500 county
correspondents. The average haul re-
ported was "a miles. Since at this
time less than per cent of the roads
in this country were improved, these
figures indicate the average cost OF
hauling on unimproved roads.

Rivalry exists in the matter of Sc

exists all around in the observance
of tariff schedules. The railroad
magnates hug to their breasts the

TRULY 1T IS A
BIG WORD

Corporation is the biggest word
in the English language" said Sec
rotary Theodore Grady of the Hum
= boldt County Chamber of Commerce
yesterday, in discussing the topic
that held sway at the meeting of
the body last evening. "And some
day." said Mr.. Grady as he con-
tinued to discuss the term, CO.
operation will be applied in practi-
cal walks of life in the fullest pos
sible sense and the term will carry
a full significance to the minds of
people,"
Mr.. Grady is right. Today the
term is hackneyed and used more
or less in an idle sense. 1t is good
to mouth in theoretical converse
tional effort, but somehow escapes
a strict application by people who
must fall back upon the things
which the word stands for if they
are to mature Winnemucca's prom
Used greatness.
Incorporation" is a big word,
pregnant with meaning, and The
Silver State quite agrees with Mr..
Grady's assertion which forms the
opening statement of this editorial.
Cooperation or the lack of CO.
operation make and unmake COM
munities. Even the term, COM
munity, is synonymous with CO.
operation, in the strictest sense, for
in the broadcast way communities are
made through cooperation.
1t is to the infinite credit of many
earnest, hard working men and
women of this little desert city that
they have sensed the urgency of the
need for cooperation. 1t is to their
further infinite credit that they are
uniting and working for the COM
mon good. Let US hope that the
examples afforded will not be lost
on the minds of others of their fell
lows who show a disposition to pur-
sue their individual ways unaided
and without a thought of giving
aid.
It doesn't matter particularly
what you think of your neighbor.
You may not like his ways or man
nerisms. He may have personal
habits that are obnoxious to you.
His business aims may seem to con-
flict with those you entertain. But
if you establish community
Of purpose, get onto a basis Of CO.
operation, and work elbow to elbow
you will quickly find that the neigh
boris welfare and the welfare Of
yourself are as alike as two peas.
You may both sell shoes, or news
papers, or may offer identical pro-
fessional services, which brings US
to the undoubted fact that you can
not sell any more shoes, or news
papers, or increase the scope of
your professional ministrations by
fighting. This should be plain to
the most elemental mind.
