= On old farmer who secures eggs all
through the winter, when asked for his
secret, replied, says the Germantown Tele-
graph, that he gave his hens plenty of cut
straw. For a While there was much un-
belief in the reply, as it was supposed that
the farmer was feeding cut straw to his
hens according to his statement); but
when the fact came out it appeared that
the cut straw was really the secret, but it
was used, four inches deep, on the floor of
the poultry house, in which miIlet seed
and wheat were scattered, the hens there
by provided with warm place to work.
The cut straw grave them scratching bed'
and it kept them in exercise, prevented
disease and promoted the appetite.

The Drought of Forty Years Ago


Emanuel .Bushman writes to the Gettysburg (Pa.l
Compiler as follows:
The summer of "a, forty years ago, was
dry and hot. There was no rain for over
three months. The thermometer averaged
about 1909 for eight weeks, daily, There
was rain enough to mature the wheat crop
but there was scarcely any corn. Squire
Cunningham said he had seven bushels Of
corn. John Spangler said he could carry
his entire crop on his shoulder. hap
pened to be at old Mr. Weiker'ts when he
commenced cutting off corn, for he had
some corn. The old lady, his wife, began
complaining that they would have no corn
to feed their hogs. The old man said
s'hush, hush Thank God we have some,
while many of our neighbors have none !"
What did the farmers feed their hogs
that year? Acorns, and they have never
been so plenty since Acorns made good
pork. The farmers fed and fattened their
hogs that year on acorns.
1 saw apples brought to town that were
pulled off the trees bal roasted on the side
on which the rays of the sun shone. The
heat was so intense that outdoor business
was in measure suspended. Wells,
springs, and even creeks were dried up.
The ponds in Plum run were dried up.
Aunt Miller said the pond below their house
dried up and it was literally alive with fish, /,
suckers, catfish and eels. She said it was
pitiful sight to see the fish dying for
want of water. And it created a great
stencil. Aunt said she lived there forty
years and the pond was never dry before.
The drouth was extensive aud extended
over great part Of the State. In Indiana
it was even worse than here. / read of
whole apple orchards drying up with half
matured fruit. a
What history has been crowded in the
last forty years A recent writer has
said that the 18th century has made more
history than thousand years before that.
And another writer said that Boston has
made more history in 25O years than Lon
don did in 500 years with ten times its
population, There has been more dis
covery, invention, intellectual and material
development in the last century than all
time before. sl

party had difference which they
wanted to settle by shooting each
other, and it was only by disarming
them both that we. saved their bullets.
The men were very surly after being

several hours did not speak. Then
they approached each other and con-
