The business of federal government is run for

times to take of costs than it does to

That the election of new seeking coun-

two years ago and that county officials whose

That very little Redwood county tax money

Hen That Stops Laying
Seldom Worth Keeping

1t Is easy to Gull hens in the fall
after they stop laying. The ones
that stop laying first can be picked
out by shrunken combs. yellow
color Of beak and legs, and by the
fact that they Immediately begin to
molt.
1t is an excellent plan to Gull hens
in the fall, but it is better to Gull
continually throughout the entire
year. The poultryman who watches
his birds can tell very soon when a
hen stops laying. Unless there is
some good reason for this then Is
the proper time to get rid Of her.
This does not take care OF the
low producers who lay regularly
but infrequently. Much can be told
about the producing ability Of

of her body and the appearance Of

not increase the ability of any indl-
vidual hen to produce eggs. In ad-
dition to culling, a breeding pro-
gram Is needed through which the
average producing ability of the
flock can be gradually increased

Breeding Hints

Males should be placed In the
breeding pen so as to give them
plenty of time to accustom them
selves to new surroundings and
will also allow about sixty days
for the birds to be mated and in
production before eggs are saved
for Matching purposes. Too much
time cannot be spent in selecting
these breeding males. Before turn
ing them in to the breeding pen be
sure that they are vigorous birds
with proven performance, and
conform to the standard of the
breed

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Service.
Hens become laying machines
and nothing more in the new apart
ment henhouses which are replac-
ing the old type single-story houses
on many poultry farms.
Some of these new laying houses
are from two to six stories high and
have a capacity of several thou
sand hens. The birds are confined
in these modern houses and are
never on the ground after they go
into the houses as pullets in the
fall.
The successful management of
apartment laying houses requires
careful attention. Rations must con-
tain all the essential ingredients,
properly balanced. because the hens
have no chance to supplement their
feed with greens, minerals or grain
found on the range. In one of the
departments experiments slightly
deficient diet gave fairly good egg
production with hens on range. but
gave poor results when fed to hens
confined in houses.
Ventilation in large laying houses
is provided by mechanical ventilat-
ing systems. Many houses are in
sulated and are heated during the
cold months. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that large houses of this type
be kept clean and sanitary, or losses
will be great.

Poultry Facts

Hens have been known to lay two
eggs in one day, but it is compara-
lively rare.
During the year a hen eats one
bushel of corn, peck of wheat, and
eight pounds of meat scraps.
A dozen of eggs weighing 26
ounces contains 80 per cent more
food than a dozen weighing 20
ounces.
A 5 per cent solution of carbolic
acid is valuable in treating scaly
leg, a common and unsightly all
ment among fowls.
Feed the pullets wet mash at
least once a day in addition to hav-
ing dry mash in the feed hoppers
when they start to lay.
When plenty of clean litter is
kept on the floor of the laying
house, it serves as a door mat for
the hens to wipe their feet upon
before getting in the nest.
Pullets will be better developed
at a given age and ready for egg
earlier when they are sem
arated from cockerels at an early
age and grown separately.

CHAPTER Ill-Continued

These things Don Jaime Miguel
Iliguenes considered as he gaZed
over the country that, by hook and
crook. had been sacred to four
generations Of his people. He had
but one real advantage, one legal
right. His fee lands were I'M
fenced and hence n suit for tres

the right TO drive trespassing live
stock OF his fee lands before they
should have an opportunity to drink.
Ii held off long enough they would
perish of thirst, and If while driv-
ing them OFF he and his men were
attacked by the owners of the tres
passing live stock they would be
clearly within their legal rights if
they defended themselves.
Don Jaime decided TO bear Off TO
the right and give the sheep and
their herders a wide berth. for he
bad no intention of coming to grips
with the enemy anywhere except
on his own lands and in defense of
his inalienable rights. So he turned
down a long draw TO the valley be-
low. At the mouth of the draw he
paused and dismounted. for the long

A recent letter from one of the
outstanding contract players of
