OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS

The baseball team of the employees of the American Ring Go camte to Oakville this afternoon to play the lo- r cal nine. The score will be found in these columns Monday.
 Jacob Ortleib has moved his family from John Kennedy's tenement house on Main street into the dwelling near Marshall Johnson's, lately vacated by Frank Taylor.
 MT and Mrs Arthur Newell have re- turned from their wedding tour.
 The Friendly Helpers of ALI Saints will meet at Miss Nellie Du Bois's on next Tuesday evening.
 Eben Dains of the Row is having an addition built on to his residence.
 A private dance will be given at Judd's hall on next Monday evening by young people of this place. This is a complimentary return of the one given by the young ladies some time ago.
 Each ones estimation of his own life is, to great extent in accordance with what he accomplishes in his rela- tive sphere of activity; and the meas ure of this estimation is, in manner, the measure of his happiness. As the sum total of the actions which consti- tute the peculiar existence of each being, is, in the case of man. the pro duct of his free will, it can be said, generally speaking that each ones con- dition of life, whether happy or not, is his own creation. Hence come the great. diversities of existence peculiar to mankind. And what a noble en- dowment is the wfll-that creative power! Through a good use of it, even those that are mean, ignoble and useless In the world to-day, tomorrow they can be kind, respectable and happy through the consciousness of being useful to themselves and their fellow men. Many people do not turn the present to the best advantage be- cause they lack the necessary stimu- lation of a bright future, not realizing that even from mere philosophic standpoint 1t is unwise not to believe of tomorrow what can give reason able happiness to-day.

YOUNG nucks.

The young ducks must have a coop
convenient to drive them in when a
storm threatens. They soon learn what
that coop is for and after a storm or
two learn to scuttle out for it at the
first dash of rain. A hard, drenching
rain will prove fatal to young ducks.
They are easily run into coop and
don't try TO get away and hide from
you, as young chickens do, the small
est duck setting out after the large
ones, eager to find place Of safety
After a storm, if you find ducks, chicks
or turkeys drenched into a state of in
sensibilityI have brought them back
when they were stiff and seemingly
dead--don't wait to heat them up by
the fire, but get pan of tolerably hot
water, hot enough to feel uncomforta-
BILE to your hands, and put them in it up
to their necl1s; then when you hear the
first gasp or two rub them dry and
wrap them in a warm cloth and put
them on the stove hearth or in the oven.
IF you have alcohol or brandy handy,
put few drops down the throat We
have seen brood of forty revived by
this plan. 1t took hustling and more
hands than two to coax back that spark
of life hidden under the cold, stiff
bodies, but the hot water found it,

BRooDER ExpE RiENcEs.
How some Maine Farmers Haiae
Chicks with Artificial Mothers.

How some Maine Farmers Raise
Chicks with Artificial Mothers.
In 4 trip recently made In Maine Wis
iting farmers who are very successful
egg producers we got some brooder
hints that are helpful One farmer had
used breeders for the first time a year
ago. and all the chicks put in the
brooder had died. This, however. was
not at all the fault of the brooder,
which was Il four section brooder of
one Of the best makes and worked ex-
celIently. The farmer had emptied a
henhouse sixteen feet long. cleaned it
out well, sweeping the Ar0ppings, etc,
out the door upon the ground outside,
and put the sectional brooder in that
house The chicks did finely for two
weeks or so as long as kept inside the
house, but directly they got outdoors
and began 10 scratch in and peck over
those fowl droppings diarrhea attacked
them, and they went off rapidly. The
farmers theory is that the disease
germs were lurking in the droppings,
etc, which lie had carelessly swept out
of the door and left there. 1t is possi-
BILE that the whole ground was infected
by having fowls upon ii for some years.
At any rate, before using the brooder
again the ground was turned over with
spade and a cart load of absolutely
brooder and house cleaned up and dis
infected, with the result that there was
no more trouble with diarrhea
In two or three instances we found
that farmers raised the chicks in brood
ers, even though Matched under hens,
and the brooders are put into small
portable houses set out in the edge of
the field or orchard At weaving time
the brooders are taken out of the
houses and the chicks raised to market
size and laying maturity without being
moved.
One farmer said, Il put about sixty
chicks in brooder in one of those
houses, take the brooder away when
the chicks are old enough to do with
out heat, weed out the cockerels when
they are large enough to fatten and
in the fall have twenty-five to thirty
pullets grown in each of these small
houses. Those houses were 4 by 6
feet in size, about feet high in front
by 3lla feet high at the back. A six
light sash of s by 10 glass gave light
and an ample door in front opened the
whole inside of the house to sun and
air. Such houses are easy and mex
pensive to build and wonderfully
handy to raise chickens in. On anoth-
er farm those portable chicken houses
were 6 by 10 feet in size, and two
brooders We're put in each. On still
another farm the houses were AZ by 6
feet in size, the roof being hinged at
front so as to lift, like the lid of box,
to admit the brooder. A small door in
the side gave access to the brooder
stove for filing, trimming. etc. These
small houses can be moved anywhere

Reporting the proceedings of the first

ture presented some of the results
which be has obtained in breeding
hardy oranges One of these classes,

are nearly seedless. The texture of the
pulp is all that could be desired, but
the fruit is rather sour In flavor
citranges are more like lemons or

no other fruit in existence
Another of these hybrids is the tam

really kid glove grape fruit. 1t should
not be cut, but the skin should be re-
moved with the fingers and the seq
ments dipped into sugar and eaten.
Both of these fruits are new creations
in the strictest sense of the word. They
are both much harder than the COM
mon orange and can probably be grown
200 miles farther north. DIR. Weber
believes that these two hybrids, with
others of their Kind. will prove to be
progenitors Of whole races of new

How It Is Sold.

The greater portion Of the pc.
troleum produced is sold directly
to the agents of the pipe lines,
who make daily quotations of the
price offered at their several pur-
chasing centers, paying cash for
their purchases. The tanks Of the
producers are connected by Sc
ries of pipe lines leading to larger
tanks owned by the pipe line COM
pany. The petroleum is delivered
by the field collectors to the
main lines, a number Of which
cross the State from west to
east. A large refinery is in opera
ton at Parkersburg.
Wells Operated.
The total number of wells op-
Grated in the West Virginia fields
in 1903 were 12,600; of this num-
Der 1449 were drilled during the
year. The entire number of wells
drilled in 1903 was 2072, as COM
pared with total of 2193 wells
drilled in 1902, 649 being dry and
1914 productive.
Gas as Power.
The natural gas engine has
been a remarkably economical and
efficient source of power for Oper-
ating clusters of wells, and it has
in many cases replaced the steam
engines. Many localities on the
rugged hills of the productive sec
ton of this State are very diff
cult to supply with fuel and wa
ter, even where natural, gas IS
used as fuel under the boiler. The
gas engine requires only a small
percentage of the gas necessary to
use under a boiler to furnish an
equal amount of power, besides
the boiler requires constant atten-
ton, whereas the gas engine will
furnish a continuous power for
many hours unattended.
Electricity.
Within the year the South Penn
Oil company has completed a
large electric plant for pumping
wells at Folsom, w. Va, near the
line of Marion and Harrison coun-
ties, which promises to work a rev
olution in the pumping, pulling
and drilling wells in that section,
when the dynamo is substituted
for the gas or steam engine. This
plant has a capacity for pumping
200 wells. The use of electric mo-
tors present great advantages
since the power is conveyed by
wires to the we'll without serious
loss.

Special to The Oil Review.

Special to The Oil REVIEW.
Washington, Oct. 14.-The &C.
illogical Survey is about to pub
lish it's annual report on the pro-
duction of petroleum in the Uni
ted States. This report contains
considerable information about
the output of West Virginia dur
ing the year 1903, that was not
contained in the brief review pub
lished in these dispatches hereto
fore.
AS previously shown, the ag-
gregate output of West Virginia
during 1903 amounted to 1885,
395 barrels of petroleum valued at
$20,516,532. This was a decrease
in output of 613,950 barrels, as
compared to 1902, but an increase
in value of $3,476,215.
Hancock Appears.
Operations in West Virginia
last year were confined almost en-
tirely to the development of the
known petroleum-producing areas
Nearly all the counties and pools
showed a slight decline in the
number of wells drilled. Han
cock county appears for the first
time in the list of oil counties,
with II wells to it's credit. There
was decided decline in the new
work in Marshall county, and in
the Sand Fork and Sistersville
pools. In September new well
developed a considerable produc-
ton in the eastern portion of Ca
bell county, near Milton, which
started off at 60 barrels per day.
This well was considerably in ad-
vance of any known productive
territory. Since the opening of
this new pool a number of wells
have been drilled, some of which
have given promise of being fair
producers, although the general
result can hardly be said to be
satisfactory.

West Virginia Leads.

"CSG VII LILO hOoNS.
West Virginia has for several
years produced more of what is
known as Pennsylvania petroleum
than Pennsylvania and New York
combined. The very deeply bur-
led sand in West Virginia State
and the nature of the strata
makes the drilling of wells ex-
pensive. The average depth of
all wells of West Virginia can
not be far from $500 feet. There
are some comparatively shallow
productive areas in Pleasant,
Richie and Wood counties. In
many instances the pools which
were productive in the Big Injun
sand were also productive in. the
Gordon sand, about IT'S feet I'M
der the former. The most produc-
tive areas in 1903 were in Tyler
and Wetzel counties and in the
Folsom district. Near the line of
Marion and Harrison counties nu-
merous large wells were secured,
but the general average was con,
siderably less than in the prev
ious year.
Northwest of Pine Grove, in
Wetzel county, a number of deep
sand producers were secured.
Those drilled on the Showalter
farm were nearly all large pro-
ducers. During the year the Pine
Grove extensions were practically
connected with the Rock Run
pool farther to the northeast,
forming a continuous line of pro-
ducing wells for ten miles. To the
west and south of the Lemasters
well nearly two miles in advance
indicated, a still further extension
of this pool. The Gordon sand
pool west of Littleton, Wetzel
county, came in as prominent
factor in the way of new produc,
ton in the latter half of 1903.
In the older field the liberal use
of high explosives was necessary
to keep up the production, and
without them the output would
have been considerably less. 1t
has been questioned whether the
use of these high explosives
cause the well, in the end, to in
crease it's output. 1t does, how
ever. certainly cause the rock to
give up its fluid more rapidly for
the time being.
There was an average increase
in price amounting to about 80
cents per barrel paid for Pennsyl-
vania crude oil in 1903 over 1902.
There was a gain of 1870 in the
value of the West Virginia oil for
1870 less quantity of petroleum.
There is no doubt the increased
price paid for the petroleum had
a stimulating effect in keeping up
the production.
West Virginia produced also
100000 worth of natural gas;
when this is added to the value
of the petroleum produced, it
amounts to in round numbers $780,

stroyed by the flood. In the accounts
in eastern papers the opera houses is
called a magnificent building, and Of
course a flood that could destroy a
handsome magnificent building must
be indeed a most damaging flood.
The duty of a newspaper is to give
a true o of any occurrence to
its constituency, and it is all the more
the duty of the correspondent who
represents a town in the metropoli-

Roswell has suffered no more from
exaggerated reports than have Albu-

WORK TRAIN.

Came in Last Evening From the
Bridge and Left For Carlsbad.
The work train arrived in the city
last evening from the Pecos bridge
on the north and left last night foc
the south. They will do a little work
at Hagerman and Artesia and will
then proceed to Carlsbad to help in
the Pecos at that point. Superintend-
ent w. D. Garwood was in charge of
the outfit and there were t%hirty-five
men in the crowd. They have been
engaged for the past fourteen days
at the bridge and have done effective
work considering that they had an
old pile driver and many disadvan-
tages that they were worked under.
In the morning the river could be
waded easily and by night it would
rise greatly. Last Monday the river
rose six feet in two hours. The
bridge has been fixed SO that trains
can pass over it, but it will be one
month before the work is permanent
ly completed. Mr.. Garwood came in
on the train and soon after his arrir-
al here he received a telegram from
Avery Turner congratulating him on
the excellent work at the bridge.
