Hal Aliaire Left No VIII.

Hal Allaire, the bachelor owner Of
the deserted village" Of Allaire, near
Freehold, who died leaving property
about Allaire comprising 5000 or COCO
acres, embracing the abandoned vii
lage and iron works, appears to have
left no will. The property will revert
to the collateral heirs-his half broth
ers and sisters and their heirs-if no
will is found. Thorough search has
been made among the dead mans
papers, but no such document can be
found. 1t Is considered very remark
able that the dead recluse left no will
~bequeathing his property. as he was
estranged from his half brothers and
sisters years ago by bitter litigation.
His father left his second wife and
their only son Hal all his estate, and
the children by his first wife endeav-
ored to break the will, but without sue

Where to Build the Poultry House. \

A great many beginners, just for con
venience, when building their poultry
houses, set them as near the residence
as possible. This is n serious mis-
take, and one which causes no end
Of worry, and perhaps failure. The
arguments advanced in favor Of this
arrangement are that such houses are
more convenient when the fowls are
to be cared for. True, indeed, but
lazy people cannot expect to succeed,
and q short walk to the real of the
yards will not likely injure any one
who is not afraid of work.
Then again, 1t is claimed that var
minis and thieves will not come SO
close to the house. Well, this may
also be true, but we should not think
it would be difficult to keep varmints
away, and as for thieves, we do not
think they exist by nature, and when
one develops the community can soon
rid itself of him.
Build the house as far from the
residence as possible, and teach the
fowls to hustle and grow thrifty
Home and Farm.

AGRICULTURAL.


Those who keep late pullets with
the expectation that they will begin
to lay in winter will be disap-
pointed as a rule. Such pullets sci.
dom begin to lay until the warm
weather of the spring season begins.
Birds do not lay in winter in their
natural state, and the barnyard fowls
are M exception, as they must re-
ceive assistance in the way of food
and shelter. Domesticatlon makes
changes in the characteristics Of
birds, and the only way to secure
eggs in winter is to have the fowls
under summer conditions if possible.
Early pullets should lay in winter,
but late pullets do not fully mature
before winter, and do not then lay to
their fullest capacity, because they
must supply their bodies with mate
rial for growth and warmth.

cut open every bunch of bush plants
and heel them In separate layers so
every root will be pressed firmly in
mellow earth. Under no clrcum-
stances must they be left in bundles;
the air is sure to get in and dry them
out.
