Let the Hens Balance Their Own

Some months ago in Houston a
woman attempted suicide by drinking
most of the contents of a 12-ounce bot-
tle of Vitalitas. While her throat and
mouth were seared by the strength of
the liquid and she was convulsed and
rendered unconscious, still she did not
de gfrom the effects. This is proof
that even under the grossest abuse
Vitalitas can be nothing but an in-
strument of life.
In reality, Vitalitas, properly diluted,
has little or nQ effect on a perfectly
healthful person. It is like the acid
test for sold. Where the gold is pure
there is no corrosion, but the acid be-
comes very active whero there are im-
purities. If your system is lacking in
vitality, then Vitalitas will quickly be- l
gin the work of restoring it. If there i
are diseased or weakened ttssues in
your body Vitalitas will locate them
and begin the work of repair.
Thousands are daily being freed from
disease and entering upon new health
by the use of Vitalitas. Its system .
cleansing and vigor injecting effects ।
are equaled by no other known nature
product.
Derangements of stomach, liver, kid-
thumb and forefinger on his i

were found on his body.

JNO. T. SMITH AGENCY,
Austin, Toxas,
Ed Brooks, another negro workman,
made a statement to Justice Mendell,
which was similar to the one made by
Armstrong and other workmen. He
said that he grabbed a pick and shoved
the wire from the man’s hands, but
that he was already dead.
Wesley Cook had lived in Austin for
a number of years and was formerly In
the employ of the Carmichael Company
but had been working for Johnson &
Carr as a gang foreman for some time.
He leaves a wife and stepchild, three
brothers and two sisters.
With his wife and child he had been
boarding at 1402 Nueces Street.
The progress being made at the dam
is very satisfactory, according to Miyor
A. P. Wooldridge. Following is the
report made yesterday by Inspector 8.
8. Posey:
“A good channel has been cut by the
water in the river now in the tem-
jporary channel to which it has been
• oon fined and the gap in the up-stream
cofferdam is in a fair way to bo closed
I today. The sheet piling in the up-
I stream darn is practically all driven
and that portion of the earth dam can
now be raised and widened. This aft-
ernoon the piledriver was moved to the
lower side of the completed concrete
dam and west of wall 17. During the
night piles for supporting the pump
suctions were driven.”
Attempting to throw a highly charged
electric light wire, which had fallen
to the ground, out of the reach of his
fellow workmen, J. Wesley Cook, aged
23 years, foreman of a gang of sewer-
age workers in the employ of Johnson
& Carr, was electrocuted and in-
stantly killed Monday afternoon at 2:15
o’clock at Fifteenth and Sabine Streets.
The workmen had just shot off a
blast of dynamite, and one of the rocks
struck the electrio light wire above,
breaking it.
According to statements of bystand-
ers. Cook ordered one of the workmen
to throw the wire into the ditch. The
man refused and begged Cook not to
touch it, telling him that It was dan-
gerous. Cook replied that the wire
was harmless and grasped it with his
right finger and thumb. A minute
later he fell to the ground in an un-
conscious condition.
Jim Armstrong, a negro workman,

Begged Cook not to touch the wire and
called for him to drop it after he ha J
fallen. Cook opened his mouth but was

(P. K. Edwards.)
Fertile eggs must come from vigor-
ous. healthy birds, and as feed and
exercise are essential to vigor we must
see that these two elements are always
provided. We should bear in mind,
however, that time spent in feeding
and watering makes serious inroads
into our profits, and hopper feeding
reduces this expense, but with the use
of hoppers has come the habit of mix-
ing the dry feeds and grain for our
fowls according to certain definite
ideas of balanced rations. Recently
those of us who have studied the hab-
its of our fowls have been forced to
conclude that, as far as the hen is con-
cerned, there s a wide difference be-
tween a scientifically balanced ration
and a palatable one.
Individual taste is as marked .In
fowls as In human beings, so if we
v ish our flock to be healthy and con-
tented we must cater to their tastes.
This the writer has seen done in a sim-
ple. inexpensive way by the use of
hoppers and automatic feeders sus-
pended by two wires from the rafters.
These hoppers were round, and the ad-
justment was ball bearing, so that the
slightest touch of the bait bar shaft
Mattered some grains about. In fact,
all the little chicks on the plant visited
were fed. or, rather, got their own feed,
from the automatic feeders.
What to Put in the Feeder*.
For a flock of 100 layers four feeders
and two dry mash hoppers of the thir-
ty two quart size will hold a week's
supply. Fill each feeder with a single
variety of grains—corn, oat*, wheat an
buckwheat—or. If the fowls prefer
mor corn, .use two feeders of corn
One of the dry mash hoppers should
be filled with the best meat scraps and
the other with a mixture of brans
middlings in equal parts, with 20 per
cent alfalfa meal added during the
winter. In addition to this feed, green
ftod must be provided, such as man-
gel wurzels or cabbage or, better still,
sprouted oats, and It Is Important ti
add that frozen eggs are as bad ne.
the fresh ones are wholesome.
Fed In, this way, the breeding stock
will balance their own rations to their*
satisfaction, and if plenty of litter is 1
kept where the automatic feeders hang
trey.will get exereise, and their eggs
will be fertile. The Question of water
supply will depend on the conditions
plevailing on each particular plant.
H there is running water handy and
one provides oneself with an. auto
malic lamp heated fountin the ques
tion of water in cold weather becomes
a simple one.
The total amount of city taxes dur-
