The next pomt refers to health
and vinor. The pullet must come to
maturity with good healtti and rigor,
She ninst hare had roper care daring
wo Drooaing and growing period.
a stunted chick, uhick batched
from an egg laid by a hen out of con
aitloo, a chick that has had to battle
with insects, peats, or a chick that haa
not had proper food aod exercise, will
not be a protfiable layer in any season,
How to maintain the health and vigor
of the flock is the biggest problem in
poultry keeping. To get egga in
winter the hens must have constitu.
tional vigor. The third point is,
mat to get eggs the hens most have
the proper kind and quantity of
food. The hen requires more kinds
of food than a cow or a hog. Tbs
cow needs no animal food the hen
does. The hea gives more considera
tion to cleanliness of the produot than
the cow ; the reals it up in aBhell of
lime to keep it clean and she there
fore mast have a liberal sopply of
mineral matter. All foods furnish a
certain amount of mineral matter.
but not enough to supply all tbe shell
material whea hens are layiug
heavily. What f-ods should they be
fed! They should have grain; bnt
grain alone won t do. What will
happen if the hen eats nothing bot
wheat? Remembering that she pats
nothiug Into au egg that she does not
eat, that an egg contains about one
fifth ounce of fat aud that if she ate
nothing but wheat she would get
enough fat for three or four eggs a
day and about enoogh protein for
half an egg a day. the thing that
will happen will be that she will re
fuse to make eggs. Tha hen does not
adulterate her product, otherwise ahe
could fill np the egg with surplus fat
like some , people make butter out of
spurious oil or beef fat. She will
make au honest article or none at all.
The point ia that tha hen should have
such foods as will furnish the neoM-
tary food elements in proper propor
tions; in other words, she should have
a balanced rati an. There are different
ways of balancing the ration. For
Instance, if the hen haa access to
wheat, to clover or kaie and to grass
hoppers, angleworms, and grit, she
will balance her own ration. She will
eat a little wheat, a little olover and
a few grasshoppers or angleworms and
eat enoogh ot each to furnish the egg
making elements in right proportion.
An occasional feed of corn or oats in
place of wheat would Improve the
ration.
This much for the food how shall
it' be fed? Again yon mutt take so-
count of the nature of the hen. She
is a busy creature naturally ; that is
part of her life, and yon most keep
ber busy or let her be busy, if she
haa free range on tha farm ahe will
keep herself busy and her muscle and
digestion in good order, bat when you
shut her op iu yards 'von are imposing
artificial conditions and yon mast
provide exercise for ber. I have kept
hens for a year on bare board floor
in a small pen and fed them well;
thev laid about three dozen eggs each
daring the year and at the end of the
year with this tort of luxury and ease
they had lost their constitution aud
their nsefulness, while other hens fed
in the same way -bnt with a ground
floor and deep litter to scratch in and
yards to run in laid over 13 dosm
egga each, and at the eod of the year
were still in the business. Tbe hen
needs exercise. Tha demand for ani
mal food may be supplied in different
ways. Skim milk, milk ourds and
buttermilk will take the'plaoe of meat
If enoogh of it ean be .fed. Skim
milk is largely water and a heavy
laying hen can scarcely drink enoogh
of it to get tha neoessary amount of
animal food. There is nothing better
than fresh oat lean meat and bones,
tha danger from uncooked meat
scraps, however, being that they ara
liable to contain disease' germs, and
unless it is known to be free from
disease it is better to cook it. The
commercial aitlcle of beef scraps put
no by the large packing booses are
largely used; soma of the stuff told
for poultrv food is only fit for ferti
lizer, however. Daring seasons of
tha year when insects and worms
ara plentiful aod the fowls have the
liberty of the farm, little animal
food may be fed.
Another point about teeding grain
should it be ground or fed whole? It
is known that a certain proportion of j
tbe food of fowls is used to produce !
energy to grina 'the food, and from
this point of view it is cheaper to
have the food ground at the milL
Bot it has been foe ad by experiment
that fowls do not do well whea fed
altogether on groand food. It has
been foond to be a safe plan to keep
box or hopper of ground grain before
beiore
tbe fowls all the time as well as
whole urain. When thev are confined.1
l n -j i.
"uu
grain bad better be fed in a deep
li t r ot atiaw in order to induce ex
etcise.
j Tbe Dual point In this discussion is
the laying capacity of the hen. If all
! tbe three thiu mentioned above be
t troperly athndeJ to, there will still
: be a scarcity of eggs unless the fowls
j ave tbe laying capacity and it ia no
1 fault of the ken ;if she hasn't; the
trouble goes back to her ancestors.
This is a question of heredity and if
it be not true that the beu transmits
her laying qualities to her offspring
tbe laws of inheritance need revision.
Tha Oregon experiment station is at
work on this problem now and we
hope in a few years to demonstrate
what function or part breeding or
heredity (lays in filling the egg basket
when egga are SO oents a dozen. We
have demonstrated, however, that no
amount of skill or care will make
some hens lay. In oor experiment we
have foond hens that never laid an
egg Buid tbey have varied all the way
from tero to about 250 eggs in a year
nnder similar care and management
However, tbe average farm flock of pul
lets, treated aa outlined above, should
la" an average of 160 eggs doring the
year even though there ara some dead
beads ainoog them. James Dryden,

Retire Southern Pacific Stocks.
Rnmors that hava been afloat for
two months that the Southern Paolflo
management contemplates the retire
ment ot tha preferred stock has re
ceived official confirmation. About
$39,600,000 of preferred la ontataading.
It is 7 per cent cumulative stock.
subject to call at 116 until July ltfOl,
and convertible into common stock at
par at tha holder's option.
Preferred was authorized in 1904,
when the company paid no dividends
aud it was considered advisable to
raise money in this manner. Ihe
second issue of preferred stock was
sold when the money was tight last
year. The management estimates a
saving of $16,000,000 a year can be
made by calling in preferred. The
exact method of retiring it has not
been decided opon, bot it will be by
the iasae of oommon stock.
Ic a trade magaxine a writer dis
cusses the question : When to stop

"When buyers forget to forget; when
every actoal and prospective customer
haa been convinced that your product
is the best of ita kind and nothing
better can be produced, then, and only
then, will it be safe to get along
without advertising. Just aa long aa
old buyers die and new one take their
places; jnst so long aa there Is com

Beware of thm Troo Trimmer.
To be avoided is the work of the
professional tree trimmer; a fellow
who comes aroond oooaalonally with
an assortment of saws and offrrs to
put your orchard in shape. He is
generally acme floater who has failed
to keep his own orchard in shape.
Bis real knowledge ot treea Is extem
pore, and his sawing ia sore to con
tinue as long aa yon will pay his
wages. Large litubs are cut off at
random, bot suckers are left Tha
ohaucea are that your . orchard will be
rained. There is really but one sal
vation from tb la wholesale sacrilege ;
you must study natore work your
self; get acquainted with the treea So
Intimately that no roving jack of
all trade can deoeive yon. No one
who neglects to familiarize blmelf
with tbe law of growth haa any right
to a country home. The orchardist.
first of all, ia a man who can make of
his treea and plants companions.
When they orged tbe Roman emperor
to go back and. resoma tha crown that

To the Courier : When Prof.
Turner took charge of tba high schoo
It did not amount to anything.
Maluly through bis efforts it la now
what it is. It it well equipped, well
managed and everything Is working
in harmony.
I can aea no reason why any on
should have any complaint against
Prof. Tomer, hla methods, bia .busi
ness, or tba high school.
Prof. Tomer has won the respect of
every popll and student who has bee
under him and why should anyone
wish to make him ha disrespected
merely because Mr. Turner's method
art little in advanoe of liter , A
parent or a teacher cannot govern
their children .or popila if they art
not respected and loved by than.
Why break thia power which ha haa ,
for working for tbelr Improvement?
Prof. Turner's methods should not b
oritlolsed because be has to conform to
the state ichool laws and hat to niaka (
tha high aohool to an it tha people and
to prepare tba students for university
and boslness college work. Ilia bust
uete is to attend to the schools and If
ha dues this to auit tbe majority of
tha oitlzena, tha auhool board, he
should not be critlzed any more than ,
a boslness man. Aa to tha high
school, there are only one or two
taklog three studies. Students who
were not fully prepared when tbey
entered high school were given thia
privilege so that tbey would not
have to drop oot. As to great num.
ber of students taking six studlea
this would be absurd, because neither
tha state school lawa nor the univer
sity preparatory work requires thia
and tba program could not be mad
for this. Thia would make tha
stodrnt recite steady for five hours
a day.
For myself, I can say that I hava
known Prof Turner for nearly four
yeara aa a high school student and
have always respected him. I hava
foond no reason to disrespect him or
to find fault with his methods or
holiness. He haa always worked bard
for tbe school and Is especially Inter
ested In the high school. Thia shonld
bring forth appreciation and no
criticism. I have foond that bard
study Is neoessary to accomplish any
thing. But the high school work i
not too bard. I do not claim to be
brilliant scholar, but by study I hava
received above 90 per cent in six.
studies for this first auhool month.
Htlll I do not think there is any rea
son why anyone should take als
stodles continuously merely to glorify
the high school.

A Common Cold.
We claim that if catching cold could be
avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard of. A
cold often forma a culture bed for genus of
infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu
monia, diphtheria and scarlet fevar, four of
the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of
thia class. The culture bed formed by tha
oold favors the development of the germs ol
tlies diseases, that would not otherwise Una

It cleans out these culture beds that Isvnr
