Show SOLOMONS Finding of King Solomons mine, search for which has caused th death of thousands, has been reported In Broken II111, by a prospector northern Rhodesia. He declares that he discovered It while following a wounded buck, but refuses to glv the exact location except that It Is la the center of a mine concession. For more than 800 years men have been searching for the legendary mine. In Solomons day It was said to be so fabulously rich In gold that silver became of little value In his court. The search has gradually narrowed down to an area of about 250,000 square miles. Arabs tortured many natives In an effort to extract lnfor-matloabout It and many Portuguese tramped hundreds of mile In search of It.

For forty-eigh- t hours following the unex- pectedly painful and highly dramatic denouement of bis plan to sway public opinion against Nate Tichenor and Lorry Kershaw, Silas Babson suffered acutely, not because he was sorry for what lie had done but because the effect had been so wholly unexpected and pregnant of disaster to him. After having arranged to prevent the expose of the whole affair tn court with probable penitentiary sentences for a couple of dozen hitherto respectable but mercurial citizens, he began to view life with a less Jaundiced eye ; nnd when, at the expiration of the proverbial nine days, he felt morally certain that that Eden Valley gang," as he now referred to Nate, Lorry and Rube Tenney, was going to cling to Its ancient tradition and have nothing whatsoever to do with legal reprisals, all of his old jauntiness and optimism returned. He waited two weeks longer and when at the expiration of that period Henry Itookby, looking faintly reminiscent of a potato sprout put forth In a cellar, returned to his labors, Babson left the business of the bank in Mr. Itookbys bands and proceeded to motor forth among tiie Forlorn Vaiieyites and argue them Into signing the petition to the county hoard of supervisors for permission to organize the Forlorn Valley Irrigation district. Having had a surveyor tiie areas susceptible to surface irrigation, lie knew the identity of every farmer whose signature was necessary for his purpose, so a weeks time suliiced to acquire the number of signatures legally necessary, and at tiie next regular meeting of tiie board of supervisors, of wiiicb Babson was a member, he presented tiie petition in person and addressed ids colleagues at some length and with unusual eloquence on tiie desirability of favorable action by the board.

On behalf of my clients, I desire formally to protest to this honorable board against the formation of the Forlorn Valley Irrigation district and will state my reasons briefly." Hagan Immediately preceded to do so, painting to ills auditors precisely the picture that Nate Tichenor had painted to him, challenging Lon Morton to gainsay one single legal statement. (Rigan spoke simply, earnestly, arraying his facts In logical sequence. When he had finished his address Gagan bowed to tiie board and started to leave tiie chamber. There was silence until he was half way down the aisle, then a storm of hisses nnd boos broke around him.

Insects Take Huge Toll in Damage to Books, According to Some Librarians Insects of various kinds take a yearthat toil in book destruction amounts to millions of dollars, says Scientific American.

To go about having a sanitary brooder house the poultryman should flrat scrape all the old manure and dirt from the lower side walls and floor of the house and clean the water containers, mash hoppers and other equipment used In the house. After this thorough mechanical cleansing has been done, the lower aide walla, floor, water containers, feeding equipment, brooder stove and canopy should bo scrubbed with a lye solution made by dissolving one pound of lye In ten gallons of hot water. A stiff bristle broom may be used to apply the solution, Tills lye mixture will not only further cleanse the house but It also has power. Where the poultryman has a fire gun, he may use this Instead of the lye solution. After the brooder house has been thoroughly cleaned, tt must be cleaned again at Intervals during the brooding period. If the house has a dirt floor, remove the top few Inches and replace it with clean dry soil, sand oi gravel. The use of wire frames on which to place the feeders and water containers 1r also advised.

That Is the conclusion of the poultry department of Michigan Agricultural college. Egg production Is a matter of Inherited characteristics and of proper feeding. Mongrel birds are very apt to be unprofitable and hens which are compelled to forage for their living have little time to fill the egg basket. Drugs do not change the factors Inherited by hens nor do they supply needed food elements so the possibility of nostrums affeeting egg production are very remote. Dr. II. PL Moskey, United States Department of Agriculture, says positively that no known drug or combination of drugs will Increase egg production. Rations for laying flocks must supply tiie food elements needed to maintain the body weight of the hen, to supply warmth and energy, and to supply the material contained tn the eggs themselves. Good grains, green feeds, milk, shell, and grit furnish nil the materials needed by the laying hen. Diseased hens should be treated for the malady with which they are affected, and, In case of contagious disorders, proper sanitary measures should be practiced In the houses and runs where chickens are confined.
