I Grant Park I Grave of S Only Way to Get Best Egg I and Healthy Chicks. CrewaoM Deetk Watcli Paralysed by fear, an old woman of Bayeuz, France, lay In bed and watched her husband hang himself. Even after he was dead, when ahe found sufficient strength to get up, she did not cut the cord, but lit two candles, one on each side of , the body. Finally, neighbors, anxious at not seeing the old couple, entered the house, and found the old woman on her kneea before the body suspended sus-pended above her In the candle llsht. Arch Erected in Honor of Grant 'j Return In lftfis M , n 'l 32Us4W Jtw ftuncLtW iS-r Til I amucl Simpson Grant he is moving here from St Louis,' was the reply. Captain Grant took a couple of chairs In each hand and walked ashore with them; his wife. a small alert woman, followed hlra with her little flock (four children, Frederick, Ulysses, Jesse and daughter, Nellie). The carrying of the chairs ashore signified that Ulysses Simpson Grant had become a resident of Calena." So Ulysses Simpson Grant (the change from Hiram Ulyswa to Ulysses Simpson had taken place during his West Point days) this array cap tain who at forty was a failure at everything he had attempted, became a clerk In his broth ers leather store at the munificent salary of $600 a year. Apparently he made but little impression im-pression in his new surroundings. There was nothing about him to mark him as a man of destiny. But he did make some strong friends among them Ellhu B. Washburne, state senator. John A. Rawlins, a farmer and self educated lawyer; W. R. Rowley, clerk of the Circuit court. and Dr. Edward Kittoe, an Englishman by birth but a naturalized American. Even when the event came which was to set his feet firmly on the ladder of fame, Grant was still pretty much of a nonentity In Galeha. At the news of the firing on Fort Sumter a mass meeting was called In the courthouse and at that meeting Grant offered his "West Point training and his Mexican war experience for the service of his country In the new crisis. When some one criticised the offer because of the likelihood of Grant's sympathy for the South since he came from fit Louis and It waa reported that his wife owned two slaves. Immediately Washburne and Rawlins came to the defense with the emphatic em-phatic statement that "Any man who will try to stir up party prejudices at such a time as this la a traitor!" So at a later meeting to raise volunteers Grant was made chairman ana wumn irw .s he was busy drilling troops on the broad lawn which surrounded the Southern colonial home of Washburne, He was offered the captaincy of the Volunteer company that Galena raised but refused it, although he announced his Intention In-tention of going to Springfield with the company. com-pany. His departure from Galena was almost as unmarked as his arrival had been. He simply walked from his home to the Illinois Central depot over a miserable pathway tnrougn m muddy streets of the town, carrying a imif satchel In his hand. Hla leave-taking was un noticed and unhonored." When the war waa over and the victorious general returned to hla home in Galena, the man who had illnned away ao quietly In civilian clothes In 1861 was welcomed back with wild acclaim. From all over the West thousands came to Join with Galena in honoring her first citizen. Across Mtin street in front of the v Soto house was an Immense arch bearing the In scrlptlon "Hnll to the chief who In triumpu an ances I" Galena further honored its returned hero by buying a fine brick house, located on a hlg hill enttt of the river, and presenting It to him for his home. There the Grants estahiisnca mem Solves and took a leading part In Galena society until bis election to the Presidency In l.s. Acaln In 1870 he was given a great reception after his trip around the world at the conclu alon of his two terms In the White House, "net-more "net-more ha settled down In Galena, only to find the quiet life which he bad anticipated disrupted by the insistence of his friend that be be a can dldate for a third term. A T?ollr of firov,. the Business Man ' Grant, who waa sitting In the office of hla irieml Itnwley when the ucui uus brought to him that the Republican convention had denied i 1 1 in the nomination and given It to Garfield, had just lighted one of his famous cigars. Walking out to the Bide walk he stood for a moment In thought, then tossed the cigar In the street, turned and went back Into the office. "I can't say that I regret my own defeat," he said quietly, "liy It I shall escape four years of hard work and four years of abuse. And, gentlemen, we can all support the candidate." Across the street was a Jewelry store. When the son of the proprietor saw Grant throw away his cigar he sent a clerk to retrieve it That cigar, the symbol of the end of Grant'a public career, Is one of the Grant relics which is preserved pre-served In Galena to this day. But it Is only one of the many whleh you find on every hand. A modern paved highway leads you Into Galena, but the moment you enter the town, you realize the aptness of someone's description of (ialena as "a town where time stands still." The crooked narrow streets which wind In and out among the old stone and brick houses are the same streetg along which walked the notables of a century ago. But the booming river town of those days Is no more. The river Itself, that was 350 feet wide In 1844. Is but a thin trickle now. barely kneedeep. The levee where one scores of packet boats tied up Is gone.

"Poultry has suffered along with other farm crops, but due to the drot) In fpl'fl Iirlfoa In nrv,rtl,in nl I the prices being received for eggs, and because of the mild winter permitting per-mitting production to stay at level, poultrymen have been much encouraged encour-aged to go ahead with their work," ays Roy 8. Dearstyne, head of the , poultry department at North Carolina Caro-lina state college. "However, some poultrymen have attempted to In crease their margin of profit by decreasing de-creasing the feeding or substituting certain feeds which do not give as good results. One of the main substitutions sub-stitutions being practiced Is to use vegetable protein feeds for animal protein feeds. Soy bean meal and peanut meal are good If used In limited quantities, but they should not entirely displace the animal protein, especially when production Is heavy and the eggs are being used for hatching. Any radical change from the usual methods of feeding at this time Is likely to be reflected In the batch-ability batch-ability of the eggs or the llvablllty of the chicks, Mr. Dearstyne says. The breeding hens should be fed so that they will produce only the highest high-est quality of eggs. Mr. Dearstyne Insists that green feed, plenty of sunlight, an adequate mineral supply and milk In some form, should be fed the birds to get the best eggs for producing healthy chicks. If the breeding birds are to be through a long laying lay-ing season and maintain body weight they must be fed a balanced ration. It Is particularly unwise to depend on grain feeds alone without mash. Preperatiom Sirs. Olbb Have you made any special preparation for the bridge party tonight?

Chickens a Life Sarer, Says Ohio Poultryman R. W. Sweltzer, poultryman, has told the Ohio Farmer how he man aged to reduce feed costs In his flocks. "To make money we had to press down on feed costs," says Sweltzer. He believes the 'cost of grinding grains for poultry Is a wasted expense. He feeds a free choice ration with corn, wheat, germinated ger-minated oats, meat scraps snd milk before the birds at all times. Greens are supplied by cabbage and apples and cod liver oil ts fed in the grain. Mr. Sweltzer raises all his grain and buya only concentrates. "Last year," showed Sweltzer, "we re- celved six cents a pound for our i grain by marketing It through our I hens.' Dairy cows were his main I line until disease broke out and he ! had to sell bis stock. "Our chick ens at this time proved a life saver," he said.

Need Cod Liver Oil Poultry kept around cities where smoke abounds do not get sufficient sunshine In winter time, and hence col liver oil Is necessary for them, Prof. E. L. Dakan of the Ohio State university says after testing out several flocks. Two years sgo he fed all flocks without cod liver oil except one, and that one pen laid the most eggs. Next year he fed cod liver oil to all flocks, except one, and that year this single, pen without with-out oil had the lowest production of all. Ohio Farmer. Feed for Hen for Year It takes about IK) pounds of feed to care for a Plymouth Rock hen for a year, according to the Southern South-ern Agriculturist When on range on a farm she should pick up approximately ap-proximately one-third of this, which means that one bushel of corn or wheat or Its equivalent should take care of a hen for a year under such circumstances. A Leghorn hen consumes con-sumes approximately 7.r pounds of feed a year, and she enn get along on a little less than CO pounds of grain If on free range. Women lavaator. Increasing The number of applicants from women for patent papers has increased in-creased greatly In recent years. When the last detailed analysis was made, women were applying for patents pat-ents at the rate of about 600 a year, but It is known to have Increased considerably, since recently a large number of women hare entered industrial in-dustrial life. As might be expected, the highest percentage of Inventions of the number studied a few years ago confined themselves to domestic devices, but a great many applications applica-tions are now from the realms of metallurgy and other higher technical tech-nical fields.
