to Rock creek
LARGE BRIDGES.
To make the crossing at Rock creek an iron
bridge has been built 1870 feet high and $50 feet
long. 1t is seventy-fve feet higher than the
new Woodley road bridge, which is Just to the
south, and twice as long. The bridge. includ.
Ing the masonry, has been built at a cost of
$4,000. 1t passes over the south end of the
Geological Park. Another bridge has been
| erected to carry the road over the Klinylo road
at an elevation of seventy feet. This BRIDGE l.
400 feet long and, including the masonry. has
cost S42. 900. When the road reaches the Dis
trict line 1t turns at slight angle to the north
east and extends through Montgomery county
for two miles until 1t JOINS the new branch road
OF the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr.. W. Kesley
Schoepf, the engineer in charge of the work
thinks that the road will be completed early
next spring. The vice president Of the road
Mr.. Edward J: Steliwagen, during the absence
from the city of the president Mr.
F. G. Newlands, has the general direction of the
work. 1t is estimated that the rond when com.
pleted will cost half a million Of dollars After
this expenditure is made. which must be added
to the 81, SOC, 900 already laid out in the pur.
| chase OF the land bordering on the line OF the
road the owners OF the property will only have
fairly begun the execution OF their plans. It is
proposed ultimately to develop the country
| all along the line, but just at present the on.
erations will be confined to establishing town
|
line. The Chevy Chase tract is to be subdi-
vided, system Of water supply and sewers to
| be introduced and the streets are to be mac
adamized.

The coops for the young chicks are made
with two boards about two feet and half
long, nailed together at an angle, like the
roof of house. Cut the edges off so they
can be nailed together smoothly. This
makes the roof and sides of the coop.
Then we nail stats on the ends. wide
enough apart to let the chicks go out and
in as they please, but not wide enough for
the hen to get out. We don't have any
floor to the coop, so it can be moved to a
clean place. When the chicks are old
enough we prop the coop up high enough
to let the hen go out when the grass is
dry.
Anybody can make a coop this way.
We have another coop to feed the chicks
in after they are weaned. This one is six
feet long and has four posts one in each
corner, and Stats nailed over ali the four
sides The Stats are wide enough apart to
let the little ones in, but keeps the old
ones out. This is made without a floor,
so it can be moved. When the chicks are
weaned we drive them to house separate
from the old ones. They soon get accus-
toned TO it and are no more trouble.
Some years since our old chickens had
vermin and a number of them died. We
creased the heads, necks and backs of the
living with lard and whitewashed their
roostS and the house they roasted in and
put large box of ashes for them to wal
low in. Since then We have not had any
sick chickens.
We always carry out to a safe place the
nests where hens have Matched and burn
them. They often have great many ver-
min in them.
We find ii good thing to keep a trough
of clean water for chickens They go to
il very often. We have found by long ex-
perience that nearly all diseases in chick
ems are caused by vermln.

Are Plymouth Rocks the Best
Breed of Chickens?
THE CLEVELAND BAY HORSE.
Holstein- Friesian Cows As Butter Pro-
DEMONSTRATING Peach Orchards
The First Hops in Washington.

After many years of experience we find
the Plymouth Rock the best breed of
chickens. Their necks and legs are not so
long as other fine breeds; they are kind
and more easily controlled. The mothers
are not so cruel TO other hens young
chickens. and they lay more eggs if prop
erly fed. Their meat is more solid and
they yield more of it to the size of their
bony framework than any other breed.
When selecting eggs to hatch, take the
medium size and put them in nest where
other hens will not be apt to trouble the
one sitting.
When the chicks are Matched we exam
inc them to see if there are any vermin on
them, and If there is we grease their heads
with lard and keep them in warm, dry
place for day or two. Then we put them
In portable coop that we can move to a
clean place when needed.
We feed our chicks with curd. We put
the buttermilk and the thick milk on the
stove until the whey separates from the
curd. We mix the scraps of bread from
the table and the curd together. This we
feed to our young chicks, and the pigs
fatten on the whey. When the chicks get
feathers on them we feed them wheat and
and corn and anything.
We have about $50 chickens and forty
turkeys that were Matched and taken care
of this way this spring and summer, and
don't think any of them were lost except
by accident The way to keep chickens is
to keep the young ones dry and warm.

Charles +. Bailey began suit in the SUI

charging him with usurping the Office OF
clerk of the school board and ask
ing that he be ousted forthwith.
Bailey claims that he was elected
school clerk in November, 1880, to serve
one year. Smith was elected under new
arrangement on September Ii, 1891, for
the ensuing year, and took possession Of
the books and papers of the Office. Smith
is recognized by tue board as clerk and is
drawing the salary. Bailey demands the
Office and damages. The court issued an

as fruit is now being shipped freely from
all frnit-growing districts, and if one or
chardist succeeds in any local market,
others will soon flock TO that point. An
important consideration in choosing To-
cation for an orchard is quality of soil,
which exercises great influence on the size,
flavor and shipping firmness of the fruit.
mixture of sand and clay on q clay
strata holds moisture better than a loose
undersoil, and the fruit is of superior
favor, firmer when ripe, but smaller than
on sandy soil or gravel deposit. A de-
cded advantage is that bat little irriga-
ton Is needed. Beginners should cuiti-
waite the site they select very thoroughly
the first year preparatory, keeping out
all weeds. Plant seeds from good fruit
and bud in the fall, when the leaves have
fallen from the young trees; set out
the dormant buds not less than twenty
feet apart. 1t is not necessary to water
trees set in the fall. Break the trees about
six inches above the bud. but not sever
the stock until the bud has grown six to
twelve inches. Keep all branches rubbed
OIL TO the height required for the head. say
three feet, leaving all leaves on the stock.
Buds thus trimmed will not blow out as
do those trimmed low. Select buds from
trees that are young in fruiting and
healthy. Do not deal with nurserymen
unless you know them TO be perfectly re-
liable. In planting 1000, a good selection
for this climate Eastern Washingtonl

Cultivate after every rain a. soon as the
ground is dry enough and before the
weeds start. This will save hoeing. Use
the spring-tooth harrow and do not stop
it until the fall rains set in. If the year
ling trees lean from the wind, loosen the
dirt around them, push them a little
toward the wind and tramp the ground
firmly. While the tree is young is the
time to give it shape; trim to make the
tree stocky, low and branching. Be as
proud of it as you were of your young
wife. Give it careful attention, protecting
it from everything harmful, and in its
age it will reward you for your care with
its great fruitfulness
