Chickens in Cold weather.

LIVESTOCK journal.
When the fowls are compelled to
roost in their own house, and have not
the warmth of cattle or other stock to
fall back on at night, their home must
be built warm enough, so that their
combs and feet will not freeze. Fowls
that are not comfortable and warm can
not lay eggs for their owners. Stove
heat is not needed to get eggs in win
ter, but warm, sunshiny quarters with
a varied diet of warm mush and buck
wheat, with chopped up meat scraps
are. A feed of wheat screenings once
a day is an agreeable change, and
wheat is very good food to produce
eggs. Five cents worth of cheap meats
a day will supply thirty laying hens
with all the meat they want. The
fowls should be sorted and all the hens
that are going to be kept through the
next summer put with good, active,
unconstitutional cock, and the
other cockerels and pullets and old
fowls that are to be fattened or sold,
put by themselves and fed literally
all they will eat, and get rid of as soor
rs possible. 1t will be found profitable
to put q new cock, thoroughbred
with the flock every year.

"Why not?" asked the teacher.

Hill Country of Judea Items.

Reported for the VIRGINIAN.1
On bright spring morning about 1773,
long after the war cry and bloody whoop
of the red man had hushed forever in the
Valley, smoke was seen curling up from
near cold, bubbling fountain at the foot
of Mt. Tippy on the land Of James Ander-
son. Some fierce and daring Indian haters
suspected that the smoke emanated
from the camp fire of some wandering
Indians, and at once stealthily marched
toward the suspected spot. When they
drew near they spied three Indian warri-
ors breakfasting around the fire. The cruel
whites, without exchange of word shot the
poor redskins as if beasts of prey. 1t is
a historical fact these were the last In
dams seen in the Valley.
Mt. Tippy, above referred to, is now
commonly known as Slate Hill, and is the
climax of the Hill Country of Judea, and
the Anderson farm, on which the Indians
were slain, is located at the head of Craun's
Greek and is owned by our much esteemed
countyman, Col. Samuel East.
The United Brethren camp-meeting will
