REPORT OF THE C. & o. PRESIDENT

MIR. Geo. w. Stevens, President OF
the c. l. q. Ry.. has filed his annual
report. The report shows no dimlnu'
tion in earnings, which were about
s3.9000U0. 1t shows some extraordi
nary expenses resulting from better
nente, and heavy commissions paid
on loans, One item of this char
acter is over 100000. The idea
of q road earning over $4,000, GOO
being compelled to pay $500, 900 bonus
to get money from those who have 1t
is enough to cause spasm among Its
stock h olders, and this report, or these
facts. or something else, did cut the
ground from under &. u D. stock last
week Just after said report appeared.
and sent it down into the 20 class. But
when we see that only a One Fer Cent.
Dividend was declared at the annual
meeting it is not very surprising that
the bottom dropped out. We have
always felt some sympathy for those
who officer the &. & o., at least ever
since 1t fell under the dominion OF the
pennsylvania Railway. To the out,
slider it looks as If that corporation
would cut the G. i On throat. We
have seen the grain elevators at New
port News closed under It's policy. We
have heard Of the diversiOn.Of freight
from this line and the general bad
treatment it has received. 1t has been
common talk that the Pennsylvania
did not seize the G. & o. and n. q w..
except to throttle them, send rates
soaring by reason of the combination
and then turn all freight possible to
the main Pennsylvania line. The O.
& o. ig "a splendid property. 1t ought
TO pay handsomely, ID has no doubt
been managed as we'll as conditions
would permit, or such properties usu
ally are, but where is there property
that could live and grow fat if what
is said Of the conduct of suoh a wet
nurse as the Pennsylvania Is even half
true
No wonder MIR. Stevens begs
that rates be not lowered, that taxes
be left where they are. that nothing be
done calculated TO change the old time
loot aud strangulation OF the people,
but that bis and other lines of cOuse
be permitted the same methods which
have 50 long characterized them. He
lays a portion of the increase in the
expenses of the year, at the door of
labor. and high priced materials, but
he says nothing of the increased freight
rates on his lines, the changes in clas-
wipe out many times over the increas-
ed cost Of labor and materials. On the
Greenbrier Division we hear there has
been raise of 2 cents per hundred In
the freight rates. It has come in
other places, and may be expected
everywhere that such thing ia pos
sible.
II Mr. Stevens could free himself
from the yoke of the Pennsylvania and
could manage his line as a great indie
pendent trunk line ought to be man.
aged, doubtless his future showings
would be better and the stock of the
road be nearer one dollar than twenty
five cents. and especially 80 if he will
divorce it from politics, and discourage
the defiant attitude assumed by many
OF The roads in Virginia toward the
people, the courts and the Legislature.

There need not be such whOop and

Staunton got money from the q go,

Roanoke, newspapers got railroad
money. The Raleigh paper was only

not doubt a ward of my statement. II
they have had long and varied expert
ence they will remember simila- occur
rences and yet like myself they perhaps
attached no special Importance to the
circumstances at the time. Now as to
my discovery: 1t is as simple as roll
ing off a log. The little chicks have
sleepy nerves on their backs and your
Uncle Jack is here to tell you that if
you apply something for these nerves
to get up against that they will gen
crate enough heat with their own bodies
to keep them warm enough in any ordi-
nary weather-60 to 80 degrees-if the
chicks are in almost any kind of a box
that will hold a large proportion of the
heat generated. A box full of little
chicks makes just as much heat as
box full of hens. See? The old wom-
ans plan of keeping a bunch of chicks
in a box behind the kitchen stove with
a light blanket to cover them at night
has never been beaten by any of the
new-fangled cont1ivances known as
breeders and stand for the old womans
way.

THE POULTRY
How to Succeed with Chicks.

You will have better success with
late Matched chicks if too many are
not crowded under each hen. Eggs
are cheap this season, so biddies' time
is not worth so much to you as it was
earlier in the season. So provide plenty
of hens, turn them loose as soon as
they have learned their coops and let
them hunt for their aocks. They can
do a better job balancing the ration
than can you, and feed is plenty and
the weather generally good. If you
want to furnish some feed place it in
the coops at night, then If they are
not getting enough on the range they
may have a chance to fill up, and if
any remains it will be there for morn
ing. Keep watch, and if they eat up
all the feed at night put in more for
morning, as it is a sign the range is
not furnishing an abundance for their
needs if they come in hungry enough
to eat a good deal at night.

The Hen That Pays.
&C. S. Gorline.)

&c. >. Gorl1ne.)
The hen that pays is not always a
young one. When we take stock, 1t
is we'll to bear this in mind. It is
true generally speaking, that it is not
profitable to keep utility stock after
eighteen months Of age. Where one
depends upon hens for Matching, it
will pay to keep a good motherly hen
as long as she will live. A hen that
was a prize winner the first two or
three years of her life and that has
bred prize winning chicks, will be
found profitable to keep as long as
she will live. She may be so old that
she will produce but one or two
clutches of eggs in season, but II
mated to a high class cockerel, her
progeny will be found valuable. 1t Is
but a few years ago that the prize
winning Brown Leghorns at Madison
Square for three or four years in
succession were bred by one breeder
from a hen over ten years OF age
mated to cockerels of her own pro-
geny. Now does this apply to the
purely fancy, alone? In every flock
Of yearling hens, there are some that
it will pay to keep over. The pro-
portion Of such hens will depend large
Nv upon their vitality. If they were
vigorous as chicks, sprightly and
thrifty, and if at no period Of growth
were checked; if at no time in life
they have had a serious sickness, and
with all, have been continuous layers
from an early age, 1t will be found
profitable to keep such birds for breed
ing.
If one has taken careful note of all
stock kept through the laying season
proper-say from February to July
it will be noticed that some hens In
each flock will lay but few eggs,
perhaps fifteen or twenty and become
determinedly broody. It will seem to
matter little what devices are resort
ed to break them up and get them
1aving again. Such persistent sitters
should be marked and about July first
sent to market. The July and August
market is nearly always good for fat
nens. when they may bring as high
as 16c to tic per pound, live weight.
1T will not pay to keep one of these
persistent sitters, as they seldom
make good hatchers and very seldom
good mothers. Such hens are usually
large for their variety and are almost
always clumsy. Observation will teach
one to select a medium size hen re-

The Secret Of Brooding.
ON. M. Johnson.

1 have discovered that little chicks as
we'll as birds and all animals are born
into this part of the world to immedt-
ately adjust themselves to what people
call comfortable temperatures-seve
to eighty degrees. The popular idea
with breeders is to start the chicks off
under a temperature of nearly 100 and
gradually lower it to seventy-fve or
eighty Where this theory originated
no one knows, but this is not what I am
getting at. On a hot day last season I
was watching a hen and brood of chick
ems. The hen was painting and the
chicks had their mouths open, yet the
chicks ran under the hen and went to
sleep. I had seen this same thing over
and over, but had never given it any
thought I picked up one Of the chicks
and it tried to get away. I laid it in one
hand, put the other hand on its back
and in a few minutes it was asleep.
After thinking awhile I remembered
that my mother had raised pet chicks
forty years ago by putting them in a
lined basket with a cloth bagging down
on their backs. No other heat than
their own bodies was applied, yet the
temperature outside Of the basket could
be most anything from freezing to
warm. Then a circumstance that hap
pened ten years ago came to mind: To-
wards the latter part Of April light
skift of snow fell during the night. The
next morning while doing the chores I
noticed hen coming up from slough
with some small chicks. They were
making slow progress, yet just the same
she trailed seven little chicks to the
hen house through snow deep enough to
make tracks.
I followed the tracks back and found
the nest some 500 feet from the poultry
house with seven empty shells. While
thinking over the circumstance another
occurrence was recalled. neighbor
set a Partridge Cochin hen in early
March. When the hatch came off the
weather was moderate, but when the
chicks were some ten days old and doing
fine it turned suddenly cold one night
and the hen was lowering the chicks in
the corner on a barn floor. Next day
he noticed that the chicks got around
queer and on examining them found
their feet had been frozen. In few
DAYS their frozen toes came on, but just
the same the chicks lived and grew into
big healthy fowls.
This is no fish story, only the inexperl-
enced will be incredulous. Experienced

Young Milk Merchants.

Without doubt the youngest, but by
no means the least enterprising firms in
town, if not in this section of the state,
is that of Cary & Flint, milk merchants,
the partnership having been formed last
March. The members of the firm are 6.
Clinton Cary, aged eight years, and
Kenneth S. Flint, aged II years. They
buy their supply from George c. Cary,
and began by making their delivery with
Shetland pony and two wheeled road
wagon. Now their business has in
creased until they deliver between 25
and 80 quarts a day, making trips at
night and in the morning, and last Sat
urday they appeared with a very at
tractive milk wagon, made by J. H
Ryan, and with a pair of Shetland po
MES. The new team bearing the firm
name attracts great deal of attention
on the street, and the enterprise of the
two boys is very commendable.
