THE ECONOMY OF SHELTER.

The main thing in a poultry house is protection from severe cold and storms. Every animal which lives, whether quad ruped or biped, with or without feathers, must use up considerable of food to supply the energy (heat) always eseap- ing from the skin. The amount of food used for this purpose depends almost wholly upon the outside protection. Poultry have coat of non-heat-conduct- ing feathers, which keeps them alive even when roasting out on limbs in mid-win- ter, and when moving air (winds) carries away heat rapidly; also when the eva porating rain and melting snow absorb from the surface of their bodies a vas t amount of heat. But it takes about all the food hen can grind in her mill and afterwards digest to supply this contin- uous rapid waste of warmth in winter. Shelter her from such winds and wet and you at once enable her to use half of the food, more or less, increasing flesh and in making eggs. The warmer her quar- ters, if suitably ventilated, the greater the percentage of food left to be turned to practical use. Such protecting struc- lures need cost but little: all above tb,
 mere protection is chargeable to taste
 good looks, and is not to be taken out 0.

 The polls opened at 20 minutes to 10 a. m. The booth tenders were w. G. Meagher d, Robert H. Perkins r; regis trar of voters, John Meagher d, William F. Curtiss r; Austin R. Humphrey was moderator of the meeting. The regular business of the meeting commenced at noon. A collector was appointed after large number were appointed and ex- cused. Henry E. Shove was elected with fee of $50, provided it is collected with in year. He was also appointed to col lect back tax of 1889, allowing him $2O to collect the same. The selectmen's re- port was read by Noble B. Strong, the first selectman. It was accepted and was followed by the report of the school visitors, which was also accepted. The roads were left to the selectmen to let out for three or five years. We have five paupers in the town and make provision for them as best we can. The matter is in the hands of the selectmen. The grand list has fallen off in 20 years $50,000. It was voted to lay tax of 15 mills on the dollar to pay the bills of the town for the coming year. The town meeting upon the whole was orderly, the day exceedingly fine. The town did not vote on the license question as Warren is no-license town and there is no place where liquor is sold, and no indications were apparent that any who came to the polls had been imbibing. This was cer- tainly very gratifying. The vote was as follows: Selectmen, Noble B. Strong r 49, George c. Hopkins 3S, William Forestelle d 37, F. P. Johnson 30; town l clerk and treasurer, Augustine T. Peck T 49, E. P. Lyman d 29; assessor, Harley Perkins 49, Joseph Breen 32; board of relief, Edward w. Carter 49, Will liam L.

THEY GIVE THEIR REASONS,

Perhaps some of our readers would like to know in what respect Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you. When this remedy is taken .as soon as a cold has been contracted, and before it has be- come settled in the system, it will coun- teract the effect of the cold and greatly lessen it's severity, and it is the only remedy that will do this. It acts in per- feet harmony with nature and aids na- ture in relieving the lungs opening the secretions, liquefying the mucus and causing it's expulsion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring the system to strong and healthy condition. Nc other remedy in the market possesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure 8 cold so quickly. For sale by E. F. Hawley, Newtown and s. c. Bull

it by halves. It costs less to put on 100 pounds oi fat in month than in three months with like material. But remem- Der that there is point in fattening be- yond which it is not profitable to go.
 Since sheep seem so balky in returning profits we shall have Co make more of speciality of swine. No stock pay bet ter in money returns and in farm fertil- ity. Don't stock up with a poor breed. Better have one we'll bred SOW than half a dozen inbred, weak scrubs.
 Blood does not sstell" SC fast in any stock as in hogs. Having as they do, two, and sometimes three filters per year of eight to 12 in litter, a wide awake breeder may very soon have a fine drove and hogs to sell.
 Science can't invest anything better for young animals than pure milk. Feed the SOW literally on non-heating materi- als.
 Are you feeding just enough to keep your hogs alive without gain? There's no profit in this. It will pay better to the ration until steady improvement is visible.
 A good hog is as essential to profit as a good COW. Avoid the race of swine having a pinched, stunted or immature appearance. Fullness in length, depth and breadth, completeness in rotundity and ease of motion speak we'll for a hogs digestion, prosperity and his capacity to make pork profitably.
 Have you noticed the increased call for homemade sausage? It shows the people are thinking. Cultivate this sentiment regarding all hog products. There is better health in it for the con- 8 sumer as we'll as more money for the producer.

McGowon, d, Charles E. War ner, d; tax collector, Emil c. Marggraff. The election passed off quietly. The license question wasn't brought before the people. A light vote was the order of the day. Ninety-seven of the fair sex registered, but only five availed them selves of the opportunity of exercising their right, owing no doubt to the fact that the board of education on both tick cts were elected as nominated. The town meeting held in the afternoon was one of the most harmonious in Water town in number of years. The re- ports of the selectmen, treasurer, and school visitors were unanimously ac- cepted. The expenses for schools in the past year was $4, 4,482.S2. The pauper bill was very large, this year, and goes to demonstrate very plainely that what WatertOwn wants most at present is 8 place to put her paupers. Then, and not until then, will the pauper bill decrease, for just as long as people can have their 1 rent, grocery and meat bills paid, and | live as comfortably, and sometimes a paying the taxes, you may not be look | ing for 8 reduction in the amount of paupers Or in the expense for maintain ing the same. Anyone who doubts the economy of putting up an almshouse or of the town purchasing or leasing some place for those depending on her for l support, just take up the annual report and look over the pauper list. It is worthy of perusal by every citizen and tax payer in town. Expenses for pau
 pers, $1,625.76.
