POULTRY NOTES.

Keep poultry houses clean and or
derly.
A pound of poultry can be grown at
less cost than pound of beef, and is
worth more.
In setting hens. it is very important
to provide dry earth mixed with lice
powders, in the bottom of the box or
barrel.
Feed your poultry on raw onions,
chopped fine, mixed with other feed,
once week. 1t is better than dozen
cures for cholera.
Sour milk and butter milk are ex-
cellent food for all kinds of poultry,
especially turkeys, ducks and geese.
When thickened with shorts. bran or
meal, it is very nourishing for young
fowls.
Give the boys and girls an interest
in the poultry yard. Let them have a
share of the profits, to clothe them
selves with. 1t will teach them self
reliance, business methods and prove a
powerful incentive in keeping them at
home.
Quantities of chickens are counted on
that never hatch, every spring for want
of little common sense in this very
thing. A simple nest of hay or shaw.
ings on bare floor will not answer.
The hen who steals her nest knows how
to do it and hatch ten out of every
dozen eggs.
Save the feathers; geese feathers are
always high and duck feathers ar,
worth almost as much. Turkey tai
feathers bring from 80 to 40 cents pc
pound, being used in making feathe
busters. Even colored chicken feather
are worth saving, although they some
times get down to five cents pc
pound. White Plymouth Rocl
feathers have brought % cents pc
pound. In picking chickens, suspen
them so you can stand up, and have
barrel at your side to drop in the clea
dry feathers.

THERE ARE OTHERS.

Don't imagine, my boy, if you throw up your job
That the firm that employs You will fail,
That the whole office force in their anguish will sob
And the senior partner turn pale.
You are highly efficient and active and bright
So you say, I'm unwilling to doubt you
But the chance of all this is incredibly slight
There are plenty of others without you.
Don't get mad with the girl and make her feel bad
Fail to go for your usual call,
It's the truth, though know it sounds awfully sad
That she may never miss you at all
It's mighty poor policy staying away,
Though, grant that at times she may 1out you
But know that I'm in position to say
There are plenty of others without you.
Don't get sour on the world and do anything rash,
Not to speak of the good of your SOUL
If you jump in the lake you make a small splash
But you'll never leave much of a hole.
Don't expect folks to make such terrible fuss
When they think very little about you,
And to use common language aren't caring a cuss
There are plenty of others without you

GOT THE BLUES?

Got the blues, did you say? Sure
enough! A genuine attack, and the sun
shining bright in the heavens and not
cloud to be seen. Well Well
Come, my friend, shake yourself to-
gether. Go out into the sunshine and
look about you. Is this a time for the
blues? See how gleefulIy all nature is
smiling. Don't be behind hand in be-
ing happy when everything else is re-
Joicing. This world is not a vale of
tears. This life was not given to us as
time for weeping and wailing. Come,
get yourself out of this Slough of
Despond. This is time for action.
Never sit by the roadside and lament
over by-gones, or despair because i'm
possibilities are not brought to pass.
There are just as grand opportunities
perhaps before you as have ever been
experienced. There may not be just
as much prosperity and happiness for
your future, if you so will, as there has
been in the past.
And what a facet You'll spread
horror by such long drawn counte-
nance. Indeed it is enough to give a
buffoon the blues, even to look at it.
Go to the glass and get glimpse of
yourself, and then compare it with the
looks of friends with whom you meet.
but don't stand looking at yourself
long, walk forth in Gods pure atmos-
phere. Give hearty good-day to every
man and woman you meet; a smile and
a nod at every child; chirrup or whistle
to every dog, and there will be but lit
tie more trouble with the blues. The
ailment cannot stand such treatment.
1t flourishes only on moodiness and dis
satisfaction. Sunlight dspels the
clouds of murky sky, and so does a
sunny disposition scatter the blues.
Do not sit and ponder over trouble:
you cannot dispel it by making your
self miserable. Never look into the
future with despair; you cannot cross a
bridge until you come to it. Don't
harrow your mind over things that
cannot be helped. Live confiding in
the present. The past cannot now be
remedied, and you have yet to try the
future. Now it is when you must act, if
you act at all. Now is when you must
be happy if you expect to enjoy your
self. So do not NOPE. Force yourself
to be careful. The blues will not stay
long if you don't embrace them. When
you are threatened with an attack
whistle ''Yankle Doodle" or roll out
"Old Hundred" and we pledge our
word for it, you can soon laugh with
the best of them. Show us a person
who can whistle or sing when disap-
polntments come and we will show you
one who is never troubled with the
blues. The remedy is infaliable. Try
1t and be convinced. .-Farmville Herald.

THE MENHADEN FLEET.

These steamers measure in length
about 110 to 120 feet, Is to 20 feet beam,
and 81 operate in the lower waters of
the Chesapeake bay and Atlantic Coast.
The cold and late spring this year in
terferred considerably with the catch
as early as is generally the case, but as
the weather gets warmer the fish come
to the surface of the water. The look
out at the masthead or crow 's-nest as
it is familiarly known, is then able to
sight school of fish by the color of
the water and its consequent agitation.
The order is then given to man the
perseboats, with about Is men to each
boat. and with the large net, the boats
drop off from the steamer and circle
the school of fish, after which the
steamer approaches the net, and the
fish are dipped out of the water into
the hold by means of large dip net
operated by steam holster.
The season usually opens about May
l5 and closes during November, accord
ing to the weather. The factories
which manufacture fertilizer and oil
are all located in Virginia, with the ex-
ception of one at Crisfeld. The steam
ers engaged in the business are:
The George P. Squires, elizabeth M.
Froehlich, George H. Bradley, David
x. Philips and Peter C. Struven, owned
by Messrs, Bellows & Squires, Ocran.
Emily A. FOote. Lizzie Colbourn and
Daisy, by the Carter's Creek Fish
Guano Company, Irvington.
Dorthy F. Whacker, Pocomoke and
Tangier, by the Indian Creek Fertilizer
Company, Byrdton.
Fairfield and Helen Euphane, by the
ank-Tankard Company.

About 700 men are required to man thi
feet in season, and a large number ar
employed in the fish and oil factories
which combines to make the industr
one of the most active in the Chesapak
bay tidewater ports next to the oyste
industry. A million dollars is said t
be investedin it and hundreds of peopl
enjoy a livelihood from its success.

MATHEWS COURT
S0AKS SPEAK-EASIES.

In regard to the recent convictions
for violation of the laws with regard to
the sale of Intoxicating liquors in
Mathews county, it may be pertinent
to remark that all of these indictments
were drawn under the general laws of
the State, and not under the especial
law for Mathews county.
Under these circumstances, the Su-
preme Court of Appeals have decided
in Quillen's case, los Va, p. 874, that
the Commonwealth can prosecute
under either law. So far as these prose-
cutionsare concerned the only difference
between the special law for Mathews
and the general law is that the special
law simply says that the possession of
a United States license shall be "evi-
dence of selling by retail" while the
general statute says that possession of
such license shall be ''prima facie
evidence of the sale," and when prose-
cuted 1.-The burden of showing that he
has not violated the law shall be upon
him, and in the absence of satisfactory
proof that he has not violated the law
he shall be convicted.
We publish this for the benefit of
those ''sympathizers" with the keepers
of 'speak-easies, who seem to desire
to think that we have in Mathews
county some terrible, iniquitous and
unfair special law, which permits a man
to be tried and convicted without due
process of law, whereas the truth is
that it allows conviction upon no less
evidence or no other evidence than the
general law of the State.
We do not hesitate to express our
qualification, both at the instructions
given by the Court and the verdict of
the jury, in the ''speak-easy" case tried
on Tuesday. We are informed that the
defendant contemplates taking the case
to the Supreme Court of Appeals and
we hope this is true. If it was not the
purpose of the Legislature to declare
that possession of a United States
license in local option county is suffi-
clent to convict of violation of the
law, then the Courts and the Common
wealths Attorneys ought to know it
and the sooner the better
For our part, we believe that this law
was enacted in obedience to the uni
versal demand that the bond of secrecy
and unity between the speak-easy keeper
and his speakeasier patron had created,
and the very object of the law was to
make the fact that the person accused
had been handling such liquors as re-
quired license from the United States
Government sufficient evidence of the
violation of the law to warrant con-
viction.
The local option law is a wholesome
measure, one which has done uncalcu-
liable good to the community. There is
no excuse for its violation, and no man
breaks this law for any other reason
than mercenary, selfish and thoroughly
sordid desire to make money. It's a
traffic which fattens upon humanity's
weakness and we are earnestly in favor
of any measure or statute which will
curb it.-Mathews Journal.

CAN WATCH THE MARKETS
Tickers to Be Placed in Both
Branches of Congress for
the Use of Members,

Washington. D. c., Aug. 22.-Tickers are
to be placed in all committee rooms of
both branches of congress next session, so
that senators and members may be kept
informed while attending committee
meetings as to what is going on in the
senate and house. This, at least, is the
ostensible purpose of the innovation.
There is the possibility, however. that
the usefulness of the tickers may extend
farther. BY the simple pulling of a plug
from one socket in the telegraphrOom
and inserting it in another, connection
may be had with the outside news wires
which carry tidings from everywhere. in
GLIDING Wall street. There is no real in
dication that the primary purpose of con-
gress in having these committeeman
tickers installed is to place senators and
congressman in more ready touch with the
news ard the figures of Wall street. It is
merely an ultimate pOssibility-and an in
teresting one.

TO FORCE MAUGHN OUT.
Plaintiffs in Libel Cases object to
Logan Judge.

It was learned yesterday that the rea-

Richards and Halverson libel cases
against William Glasmann and the
Standard Publishing company filed OBJ
jections to District Judge Maughn of LO-
gan. who was called to try the cases in
place of Judge ]. A. Howell. is that it
takes Judge Maughn too long to give a
decision in a case
In support of this argument ii is point
ed out that the libel case of Viola Lewis
against these defendants was filed July
25 1905, and referred to Judge Maughn
on June %, 1906. The case was tried and
the verdict rendered Aug. -. 1905 Two
days later the motion for a new trial was
filed. Il was argued few days later
and submitted 1t was not until We'd
nesday morning last that a ruling on the
motion was made. In the meantime the
attorneys claim to have written Judge
Maughn a number of times asking him
to decide the matter, and then as they
term it he set aside his own case"
1t is expected that in view of the pro-
tests that Judge Maughn will retire from
the cases and permit the selection of an
other Judge

FORAKER Wins APPLAUSE
Ohio Senator Attacks Roosevelt's
Policies" at a Meeting of
Western Pioneers.

New Carlisle, Ohio, Aug.-United
States Senator Foraker attacked Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his speech before a
crowd of 5000 people. at the Western Pho
neers' meeting yesterday. The senator
was cheered when he expressed himself
upon many questions with which he has
differed with the president within the last
year or two. Then he significantly de-
clared he was glad that there would be
an opportunity next year for the people
of the United States to decide between the
policies of Roosevelt and those which
were of opposite character.
AS a matter Of fact, in connection with
the Brownsville matter, the statehood
question and the railroad rate bill, Presi-
dent Roosevelt could have done more good
by staying in the White house and at
tending to his own business than by try
ing TO NEEDLE in the affairs of the SEN
