HEN NEEDS SHELL MATERIAL
Tests Show Decrease in Number of
Eggs Where oyster She'll and
Grit Are Lacking.

Tests made at the University of
Wisconsin experiment station, where
the feeding of hens could be watched
closely, show that hens have a
tendency to cut down on the number
Of eggs they lay when they run short
Of material which goes into the egg
shell. Some believe that soft shells
come as a result of not having suffi-
cient oyster shells or ground bone ma
terial, but tests do not bear it out.
So for keeping up the number Of
eggs, it is essential that hens running
free on the farm have supply of
oyster shells, ground bone or some
other mineral grit, near where the
flock Is fed.

RIVER is REDDED WITH GOLD
Expects to Retrieve Treasures
of the Congo.

When the White Star liner Majestic
sailed recently she carried with her an
expedition composed of eight men from
Katonah, N. Y, which hopes to pene-
trate 600 miles into the Belgian Congo
in search of gold field which they be-
lieVe will prove as rich as the klOn-
dixie, said a recent issue of the New
York Herald. The expedition eX-
poets a search of at least six months.
All the while that the organization
work was going on the facts relating
to it were kept secret.
1t all came about this way: julius
]. Dolgos, chemist of Goldens
Bridge, Katonah, was in the mounted
forces operating in the Belgian Congo
during the war. Back in 1917, while
with a column of cavalry, he lost his
way, toppled off cliff, but suffered
only slight injuries to himself and
horse, and continuing he came to
brook, at which he stopped to refresh
himself. 1t was what Dolgos saw
while drinking water as he lay on his
stomach that caused the expedition
into the .wilds.
The bottom of the brook seemed to
Dolgos to be carpeted with gold. He
thrust his hands in, picked up hand
full of what he thought were pebbles,
but found they We're of metallic sub
stance. He thrust handful into his
pocket and proceeded on his way re-
joining his unit, but not contiding in
his comrades the secret of his find.
Upon leaving the service he took the
pebbles to an appraiser who pur-
chased them from him, he said, for
$500.
Dolgos got back to Goldens Bridge
and KatOnah eventually and there met
Edward 7. Barrett, supervisor of the
story. Barrett was so impressed that
he took six other men into his conf.
dence. They We're A. c. Brewer, Ray
mond Brewer, Charles r. Gaming and
Robert Eiseman of Katonah; William
II. Odell, Jr., of South Norwalk, and
Capt Carlos de Mantanha of Brook.
Ign. These men with Barrett and
Dolgos composed the party of pros
pectors who left on the Majestic. Bar.
rett will travel as far as Brussels,
where he will seek concessions neces-
sary for the development of any prop
erty the expedition members may
deem of value.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.)
The soy bean is rapidly taking a
place as a major crop in the farming
systems of the corn belt, replacing
oats to a considerable extent and TAX
ing part Of the corn acreage. AL
though primarily used for forage, pas
ture and enSilage. the growing of seed
during the last few years has been a
very profitable industry. The produc-
ton of seed has now increased to the
point where the supply greatly exceeds
the demands for planting.
Seek Commercial Outlet
County sOy-bean associations, grow
ers, county agents and extension Off
Gals, notably In Illinois and Indiana,
have concerned themselves in the de-
velOpment of a commercial outlet Of
the seed. AS a result, the production
of oil and meal from corn belt grown
soy beans seems to be definitely as
Sured for the season of 1922. Several
mills In Indiana and Illinois have be-
come interested in the possibilities of
the soy bean as source Of oil and meal.
Two mills in Illinois have planned to
use about 100000 bushels this season,
while other mills are planning on a
smaller scale.
Although oennlte figures are not
available on the acreage of soy beans
in the various states, reports to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture indicate very large increases in
acreage for seed production and for
age purposes throughout the northern
and corn belt states. The possibilities
of utilizing domestic grown beans for
oil and meal no doubt had much to do

growing in popularity among those do

Helena.-A complete victory for
Frank Conley, former warden OF the

actions.
Conley was favored on all causes of
action brought by the state except the
fourteenth, on which the state is al
lowed $65.12. Conley lost on all his
counterclaims except the eighth and
ninth, on which he was allowed $62S.1S,
which will offset the amount Of the
claim allowed the state, giving settle
ment Of $558.O6 due to COnley from the
