PouItrygrapIls.

- -, -
Have fertile eggs. no lice, clean
well ventilated nests. clean egge,
no moisture or unnecessary dis
turbance and you may expect a
good hatch.
The poultry bosiness is an in
dustry which is not overdone; this
is one line of trade trust can ney-
er control
A uniform lot of eggs look much
nicer and command a better price
than eggs of all sizes and colors.
Cleanliness is absolutely essen
tial to success, as disease will there
by be avoided.
Eggs from puIlets do not hatch
as we'll as those from hens.
Ten eggs under hen will give
better results than larger num-
bers.
Never let eggs get chilled that
are to be used for Matching pur-
poses.
Pack eggs with the small end
downward; using plenty of wheat
for packing material, and they will
keep two months for Matching pur-
poses.
Lice and luck never go together.
There is little danger of overfeed-
ing hens after they begin to lay.
The man who gets out hundred
chickens needs an incubator; the
man who gets out lsss, can do very
well with setting hens.
Both hens and men need grit
the first in their gizzards, the seo-
ond in their makeup.
A supply of good common sense
is an essential equipment in the
management of poultry.
When you begin to think that it
is luck that causes your neighbor
to get more eggs than you do, you
may rest assured that you need
more experience in the poultry
business.
A good rule for feeding laying
hens is to give them all they will
eat up clean in ten minutes in the
morning and all the grain they will
dig out of deep litter in the day
time.
Food that laying hen has to
work for never hurts her.

the officers showed a gratifying condition
The order has now reserve fund In ex-
cess of $4,000. and at the close OF 1901
1t had no liabilities in any fund and not
a single notice OF death in the Office
Since organization the order has paid
death losses amounting to 1925, 500, and II
has never yet found it necessary to con-
test n claim. 1t enjoys the proud dis
tinction of never having case in court.
It's membership in good standing is now

elected for the ensuing term: Supreme

the laws at this session of the Grand
Council, and that was in the way OF pro-
viding that. in case death claim could
not be approved by the executive commit
tee the beneficiary, could submit II to a
board of arbitration. Ia such event the
beneficiary shall select one arbitrator.
the executive committee another, and the
two chosen shall select third. The de-
cision of the board of arbitration shall

increase is proportionate to the quantity

FOR THE NEW TEMPLE.

For more than ten years tho subject Of
building a new Masonic Temple in Wash
ington has been agitated among the men,
bers of the fraternity. as the present tenn
pie at Ninth and F Streets, erected in the
early 6Cs, long since became inadequate
to accommodate the increased member
ship. After several years of discussion
as to how to proceed. it was decided to
give a fair and exposition, hoping to rea-
lie sum of money to form the nucleus
of a new Masonic Temple fund. The fair
was held in April. 1898, and the result
far exceeded the most sanguine expecta
tions. the net proceeds being in excess
of $4,000. Subsequent donations and
stock subscriptions swelled the available
fund to $4,000. The New Masonic TEN.
pie Association was incorporated, and the
eligible site al the junction of Thirteenth
and H Streets with New York Avenue was
purchased.
At called meeting held in July last.
in response 10 an invitation of the New
Masonic Temple Association, representa-
tives from forty-one bodies met, orga-
nized a board of control, and decided to
hold another fair, beginning April IA, 1902,
to raise funds to finish paying for the
site and to enable the erection of the new
temple to be commenced The active
work for this maAmoth event was be-
gun in January last by the organization
of an executive committee and the ap
pointment of committees from the va
rious bodies participating.
There are now actively at work commit
tees comprising more than 1900 Masons,
while their efforts are being supplement-
ed by over 1000 ladies, all Systematically
working for the success of this enter
prise. The enthusiasm has spread until
more than 5000 local Masons and their
families and their friends are now taking
the liveliest interest in the impending
fair. and almost without exception are
making contributions of work, money, or
articles. Many contributions are also be-
ing received from sources outside the
city. A STRAW" showing the deep local
interest manifest is the work Of the COM
mittee on tickets and badges, which has
hardly finished the task of distributing
season tickets to the membership, and
