bottom to top and her jewelry and silverware
were gone and also dozen of eggs she had
bought to set. All the drawers, trunks and
chicken house door were locked and the keys
missing. The thieves did not find her money,
except few cents, but they took eight rail

spent the night before in a vacant house be-
longing to Mr.. Estes Scott, of Baltimore, which

Rapdallstown, I'd District.-Two weeks
ago your correspondent at this place made me
the subject of paragraph in his letter and
this % by 0 gep to h%
barked in the poultry business, believing it to
be both easy and profitable" think he has
conceived the wrong idea of the business when
he says it is easy but believe with much
careful attention, labor and sound judgment it
can be made profitable, especially with the aid
of good and reliable partner in the shape Of
wife.
Your correspondent placed the receipts of
one hatch against the entire cost of incubator,
brooders and the expense of rearing the brood
until maturity. This, of course is all wrong.
The incubator. with care, will last for years
and in that time hatch, perhaps many thous-
ands of chicks, thus paying a good return |
upon the original investment.
The statement made by your correspondent |
with reference to the number of chicks Matched
at the first trial was incorrect, 81 being the
suit inetead of &c. Beipg1no very easily dis |
chine" and as result there was Matched from
100 fertile eggs 135 chicks.
NY advice to the writer is i'll starting new
business do not figure the entire cost of stock
and equipment against the receipts OF the hrst
trial. One must not become too easily dis
couraged. Had this been the case with Co
lumbus America would possibly never have
been discovered.
Your correspondent who thinks the incu
bator does not pay recently set hen with 10
eggs. He had much trouble with her and was
obliged to put her on the nest several times
each day. At the end of three weeks all he
had to show for his labor was four puny little
chicks. No doubt by the next report not one
of these will be present at roll CALL N.

cessor has not yet been chosen and there is
some division of opinion as to who he shall
be. It is hoped all may come together anc
finally agree upon a suitable man.
A few days ago the stable on the property OF
John Miller, rented by Max Ottel, was destroy
ed by fire. It had just been newly shinged
and the old shingles were put in pile and set
| fire to. The flames communicated with the
| stable and it was soon in ashes also. The
neighbors gathered promptly but could do
nothing but save the stock in the building.
| No insurance.
A leap year dance was given in Dengler's
! Hall on Easter Monday night. Music was
| furnished by Sims and Luskorn. The young
| folks had lively time and the fun continued
| until late hour.
| Truck farmers are actively engaged prepar-
ing the ground for early crops. The earth is
still cold and wet and seeds planted will not
do any good. But it is hoped all will come
out right in the end.
Our highways are lined with tramps who
claim to be heading for the Susquehanna to
engage in fishing. This is an old story and
perhaps a good excuse. to keep from helping
the farmers with their pressing work. x.
