FOOLS CHICKENS, GETS MORE EGGS

INSTALLS ELECTRIC LIGHT IN THEIR COOPB. Hena Tricked Into Working Overtime —Lured from Roost at 6 A. M., Back to Their Perch at 9 P. M. A few weeks ago it was explained In a humorous feature how a Brownvllle chap had Invented a hen’s nest with a sliding bottom that fooled the hens into laying many eggs each day. Whether the trick nest proved a success or failure has not as yet been announced by the Brownvllle genius, but the experiments of George C. Newell, a Chicagoan, with his "150 egg machines,” lead all interested In hens and their product to believe that nothing Is impossible in this line of Industry. George G. Newell is an auditor. Figures and statistics and chickens are his hobbies. Efficiency Is his watchword. Back of his residence In Congress Park there is an lnclosure forty feet square in which he keeps what he calls his “150 egg machines.” The “machines” belong to the feathered tribe known as White Leghorns. He expects and obtains eggs from these “machines” with the same regularity and accuracy as he does figures from an adding machine. He says he has obtained 18,000 eggs from his “machines” in the last year, or an average of an egg every third day for each fowl, and expects to bring this average up to an egg every other day for each hen. All the hens are laying now and he sells the eggs for 60 cents a dozen. Newell attributes his success to the fact that his chickens live in two electric lighted coops, go to roost by electricity, and get up at the beck of 100 candle power.

“I figured the whole problem out in black and white,” said Newell. “I found that my chickens were not laying much in winter. They’d go to Toost earlier in the winter months and get up later. I figured they didn’t have sufficient daylight in which to eat the necessary amount of food and to get the required amount of exercise for good laying. I estimated they got about sixteen hours of daylight in midsummer and only about seven hours in midwinter. I decided to strike an average of their waking hours. "At a cost of about S3O I installed a 100 candlepower tungsten lamp and a two candlepower incandescent lamp in one chicken house and two sixty candle-power lamp in the other. These I connected with switches in the house. "As soon as the alarm clock goes off at 6 or a little after in the morning I turn on the switch and the chickens get up, thinking it is daylight. The lights are turned off at 8 or 8:30, when it is full daylight and the neighbors’ fowls are just arising. “When it begins to get dusk, along about 4, my daughter, Dorothy, or my wife turns on the lights and they are kept going until 9 at night, when I turn all out except the two candlepower lamps. These give just a sufficient amount of light to give the appearance of dusk, and the chickens begin going to roost. I leave the small lamps lit all night, so that if any of the chickens want to get up at night to eat the/ can do so. "Eleven days after the lights were installed the daily average jumped from twenty-six eggs to eighty-three. During the molting season under the old custom, when most of the food w'as going to feathers instead of eggs, _ I got only eleven eggs a day. Now I get fifty-two a day during the molting season. It is merely an experiment in efficiency, and I hope to Improve it "Chickens think," said Newell. “If they know they are going to get plenty of food the next day they’ll lay. By my method I keep them thinking they are getting the same amount of daylight all the year around, and I’m keeping them thinking all the time.”

WALNUT TREE IS 46 YEARS OLD

Nearly 23 Feet Around and Larger Than Colusa’s Giant Colusa, Cal., Is laying claim to having the largest California black walnut in the world, but the dimensions of the Colusa tree do not come up to those of a tree that is growing on F. W. Schultz’s farm on Sycamore Slough, six miles northeast of Arbuckle, also in Colusa County. Some time ago a naccount in newspapers first brought this monster tree before the reading public, and it is receiving much attention throughout the state. The agricultural department of the State University wrote Schutx about it, stating that information sent by hi™ would be used in a book that the department is compiling. In answer to the request of the university authorities Mr. Schutz has taken accurate measurement sos the trhe> which are as follows: Circumference one foot from the ground, twenty-two feet, eight inches (below this the roots appear above the surface of the ground, making the tree about twentysix feet); circumference nine feet from the ground, nineteen feet, nine inches; height, it>2 feet; width of shadow at noon, 120 feet. The big tree is 46 years old, having been planted in 1868 by D. Arnold, a Colusa County pioneer.

The Farmer Slicker Slicks a City Pair

Poxy Jowa Agriculturist la Arraatad hi Chicago for Trimming Two Would-Ba 801 l THlera Down on the farm at Cherokee, lowa, Alexander Erlick read the city papers and found out all about the “foxy slickers” who lie in wait for the innocent farmer. Suddenly the Big Idea struck Aleck, and all during that nUfct he even smiled in his sleep. Next morning Aleck robbed a little hayseed In hi* hair, put on his best pair of rawhide top boots, packed the old carpet-bag and went to Chicago to meet some affable stranger who would take him down to the lake front to see the German submarines come op for air. He met Thomas Pleske and Nicholas Klrchgesner in a saleon near the stockyards. He waited patiently, but they did not offer to sell him the Logan monument or the Masonic Temple, so he offered them Jobs down on the farm. Hard work? Early rising? Oh, no, Indeed. That was in the olden days, but not now. All the modem farm hand has to do is drive the automobile down to the general store for fifth eggs fosvbreakfast, count the money left by the commission merchant on his daily visit and then dress up and take the neighbors’ girls out riding. Aleck explained to the two city men. Pleske and Klrchgesner decided that “down with the cows and chickens" was the life for them, and each handed Aleck $lO for railroad fare to Cherokee and then went home to have their suits pressed and their shoes shined. When next they met Aleck he gave them the cold shoulder. "Don’t you fellers from a pair of Masasawgy Indians,” he is reported to have told them. They had him arrested as a "bunco man.” “You ought to be ashamed of yourself," Police Captain Gorman told Erlick. “When farmers come to town they are expected to let the 'city fellers’ get their pocketbooks, but see what you have done. All the comic papers will have to go out of business right away.” Score one for the farmer —also two for the city slickers. John Severson worked as a farm hand in North Dakota for twenty years and succeeded in saving enough money to buy a ticket back to his old home in Sweden. He arrivff in Chicago on his way to New steamer. Two men stopped him ip the Dearborn street depot and confided that they had a carload of horses which they were shipping to the German army. They needed some money' to pay the freight to New York. John lent thmn S9O for an hour or two. At nightfall he started back for North Dakota to work for another twenty years. Rudolph Kruger of Cleveland stood in the Grand Central depot holding a handkerchief. A policeman approached him with a broad smile on his face. "Two men told me I looked like a well-to-do,” explained Rudolph, “and said they wanted me to hold their money. Then —” "Enough,” interrupted the policeman. "How much did you contribute?” "I placed SBO in the handkerchief here, if that is what you mean,” replied Kruger. “See,” he continued, opening the handkerchief, “they each put in S2OO and —” Brown paper. •

TELLS WHY THERE ARE SIGHTS ON A RIFLE

Without Them the Marksman Firing at Long Range Could Never t Hit His Mark. The average person, if asked to I explain why a rifle is sighted, would probably be unable to do so bewond some vague remark about taking rect aim. Sights are necessary because a i bullet does not travel in a straight'line, but under the influfence of gravity and friction, begins to; drop almost as soon as it leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet of the army rifle drops six inches in the first 100 yards, but when it has gone 200 yards it .will have dropped, not twelve Inches, but two febL The drop Increases by ‘ leaps and bounds with the distance. Where there no sights on the rifle and you wanted to hit a mark at 200 yards, you would clearly have to aim two fleet above it This wooil be awkward, for you lose sight of the object aimed at to say nothing of the difficulty of correctly estimating at a distance of two feet at 200 yards. The Bights on a rifle enable yon to keep your eye on the mark, although the muzzle of the rifle is actually pointing above it The moving slide of the back-eight enables yon autCihatjcaTTy to point the muzzle Just so many feet above the mark aimed at as Is necessary to counteract the down drop at the bullet at various ranges.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS

Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy Or Have Bladder Trouble. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if ths urins is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juke, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salta is inexpensive and cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take ouw And then to keep 'the kidneys dean and Active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complloattonA.
