Poultry Pickin&s.

Poultry P1ck1n&ss
No success can be achieved with
poultry without cleanliness!
It's a poor plan to wash eggs for
keeping. Don't do it, unless eggs are
to be used right away.
Whatever you do, unless you fatten
for market, don't give an exclusive
corn diet, and better not even then.
For sweeping the hen houses, perch
es. ETC., what better do you want than
an old broom which the good woman
has cast aside as too much worn?
In poultry feeding there are innu.
merable ways that may lead to sue
cess. In fact, the combinations of
foodstuffs that can be made are al
most without limit. But when mixing
feeds, mix common sense with the
other ingredients.
Barns, outbuildings, back porches,
ETC., are poor places for poultry. Have
the poultry house or houses, even on
farms, in sheltered place at some
distance from house or barns, or 30 10
Gated that the hens will not be liable
to make nuisance Of themselves.
To cure the chick upon whose
throat cape worms have got a firm
foothold, various methods Of treat
ment are recommended. One Is to re-
move the worms by means OF small
feather, stripped to near the point,
then dipped in turpentine and sweet
oil, and inserted carefully into the
windpipe, twisting it and finally re-
moving it again together with the cape
worms that were loosened from the
windpipe in the process.

A Family of Ciergymen.

The Clare family Of Abbottstown,
Adams county, probably holds the rec
ord in Pennsylvania for the largest

Wherein the Silo Pays,

To permit the corn to stand in the
field and be frost-bitten is to render ii
practically useless and valueless, but
with the silo it is possible not only to
save it but to have for the animals
food supply that is extremely valuable.
If one has a silo and the kernels on
the corn ears have begun to harden
the crop is ready for the silo, ears and
stalks. There are so many kinds of
silos that are valuable that it is not
possible to describe the best one nor
the methods employed in filling one.
The better way is to visit a silo near
one and see how the structure is built
and how the work is done and follow
along the lines Of success. Next thing
to a silo is the plan of cutting the corn
stover or shredding it SO that the ami
mails can get all there is to get Of the
nourishing part of the corn.

A Queer Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is very funny.
Taking a small portion of the hair of
the bride and groom in turn from the
center of the forehead, the priest
draws it down on to the bridge of the
nose. Then, pouring oil on the head,
he watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the oil
runs straight on to the tip Of their
nose their future will be fortunate,
but If it spreads over the forehead or
trickles off on either side of the nose,
bad luck is sure to follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat
isfaction, the essential and irrevocable
part of the ceremony takes place.
Standing up side by side, but with
faces strictly averted, the bride and
groom mark each others forehead
with with "sindur" (vermillion).

Leaves Fed to Cattle,

The use Of leaves for cattle fodder
is seriously urged by a French writer,
who declares that the idea is an old
one, such food having been fed to cat
tie in ancient times. The Roman farm
ers, he says, used to feed green leaves
during eight months of the year, and
also in winter when fodder was scarce,
they soaked dry leaves in water to
soften them before feeding to the cat

Grain Led by Cotton.

The exports of grain and flour from
the United States for the ten months
ending October were less than one-half
in value of those Of the corresponding
period in 1908 or 1902, and only one
third as much as those Of the CORE
spending period of 1901 or 1899. Yet
the total volume Of exports for the ten
months was $6O,OOO,OO0 greater than
for the same period Of last year, indi-
eating that the shortage Of grain prod
ucts was more than offset in other
ways. Manufactured goods seem to
have made up the bulk of increase,
the gain being over $5O,OOO,OOO as COM
pared with last year. Shipments of
raw cotton also show gain of $22,-
100000, suggesting that for the time,
at least, cotton, rather than wheat, is
king of the agricultural export trade.

Farm Fences.

The legal fence should be of wire
with rail at the top so as not to OBJ
struct snow, or to be affected by
winds. The neighborhood could get
along without any fences if suitable
laws were passed. The coming age
will know no farm fences. If the
farmers could lay by all they spend on
fences they would get rich. Farm
fences and common pastures will both
die a natural death soon. Both belong
to pioneer period which we have out
grown.

Preaching at Seventy-eight.

Kew. DR.. NJ l.. Shindel, pastor of
Pine Street Lutheran church. this city,
yesterday in a quiet manner observed
his seventy eighth birthday.
DR.. ShindeI enjoys the distinction
of being one of the oldest clergymen
in active service in this section of the
State His prolonged career i'll the
pulpit is due to his bodily and intel
lectual vigor. which he retains TO a
surprising degree. He occupies the
pulpit and discharges his clerical
duties with zeal and fidelity. losing
less time through indisposition than
many a younger man. Along with an
upright figure, good eyesight, good
hearing and memory he retains a
warm heart and sunny disposition. His
hand shake is as vigorous and warm
as ever and now as he approaches the
eightieth milestone of lifes journey
he is still the sympathetic open heart
ed. even jolly friend, and his com.
panionship is as highly priced by the
young as by the old. All in all DR..
Shindel would be a splendid model for
those to fashion after who would wish
to grow old gracefully.
Rev. DR.. Shindel came to Danville
over thirty years ago. During the long
period intervening he has been pastor
of Pine Street Lutheran church. He
is one of the ablest preachers of this

of John Hopkins and Columbian Univ
ersities.
Seigel Mayer Company, composed OF
musicians and reader will be the final
entertainment and is strong COM
bination OF fine talent.
The Board of Directors consider it
wise to present this course of excep-
tionally fine talent to the people of
Danviile at this time, as the Opera
House is to remain closed during the
coming winter, and it is hoped the
course will be patrOnized and the peo-
pie benefited by the exceptionally
fine talent so fortunately secured by
the Y. NJ. @. A. The number of seats
are limited to $50, the seating capacity
of the Hall, and it advises those wish
ing to secure seats, to purchase tick
cts early. Solicitors will call on the
public to sell tickets.
