POULTRY IN THE WINTER.

This is the time of the year when
every good poultry keeper is planning
for winter. BY Nov. 1, at the latest,
the winter quarters for the hens
should be prepared and the fowls
made thoroughly comfortable for their
five months confinement. This will in
many cases mean cleaning out and
renovating Of the old hen house. the
battening up of cracks, replacing Of
broken windows, the removal of all
filth and the application of disin-
fectant is necessary and expedient.
Most poultry houses in our North Da-
kota climate should be we'll banked
with stable manure, and many of them
in addition should receive coat of
tar paper to keep out the piercing
winds that sweep across our prairies.
Culling the flock to it's proper size
90 that 1t may be accommodated in
the poultry house is task requiring
much thought and care. The flock has
been greatly augmented in numbers
by the years crop Of chicks. a Sc
we're yet careful selection shonld be
practiced, as only the best birds de-
serve 1ioces in the laying pens. Too
many farmers are in the habit of re-
tanning the old stock and letting most
of the young pullets go. Such course
may insure a good breeding flock. but
from the standpoint of egg production
It is poor practice. Only the best OF
the two and three-year.old hens should
be reserved for breeders. The most
profitable year for the hen is her first
one. and as many of the best pullets
as there is room for should be kept
for winter laying. The older hens
cannot be depended upon to lay during
the winter months when egg prices
are high and egg production is at
low ebb. Overcrowding in the pens,
however, should be guarded against,
as each laying hen should have .ap-
proximatoly five square feet of room.
Given dry wcll.lighicd, rocmy quar-
ters with plenty Of clean. wholesome
food, and the hen will show her APP
probation with an every ready cackle
and regular contribution to the egg
basket ~. w. D1Nho'

Without ceremony or ostentation
of any kind the corner stone of the
new $4,000 city hall was laid this
morning by L. Comini, who has the
contract for building the four feet of
stone wall on the concrete founda-

weighs nearly a ton is polished on
one side facing the east and bears
the inscription "A. d. 1905" says The
Dalles Chronicle.
There were perhaps 20 spectators
to see the stone put in place. though
none Of the city officials were there
to make appropriate speeches and
tell the people what an ornament to
the city the new hall will be when
completed. Timbers are now being
put in place. and derrick has been
installed to lift the huge bulks of
wood to the desired positions. There
are a half dozen carpenters now at
work on the building, and the work
is moving along rapidly. An equal
number of concrete ana stone work.
ers are rapidly finishing the rock
work, so that within the course of
fortnight the edifice will begin to as
sumo the dimensions of thing of
beauty as well as one that will sup

When completed the hall will con-

TO MANUFACTURE HARVEsTERs HERE

manufactured and introduced in this
county last year, has just returned
from Berkeley, Cal, wheer he spent
the winter, and is now at Pendleton
Iron works where preparations are
being made to manufacture a number
of the machines this season.
The Reynolds machine was thor
oughly tested on the farm of II. II,
Neil north of this city last year and
Mr. Neil has ordered a new ma
chine to be delivered in time for use
this season.
The special features of the Reynolds
machine is the automatic leveling de-
vice by which It may be run over all
kinds of land without difficulty. This
feature makes it especially adapted
to the hllly sections Of the wheat

belt and Mr.. Reynolds has already re.
ceived more orders for the machines
than can be filled this year.
As the demand for them increases,
it is the intention to increase the fa-
Cilities of Pendleton Iron works to
be able to manufacture more ma
chimes each year.
Mr.. Reynolds feels that Pendleton
being in the heart of the wheat belt
is the logical place for the manufac-
ture of combined harvesters and he
will build up his manufacturing en-
terprise here as rapidly as business
justifies.
He hopes to establish. permanent
factory here whore a large force Of
workmen would be employed con-
stantly and with this end in view he
invites Umatilla county farmers to In
vestigate the machine which he has
invented.

NO NOTICE OF SCHOOL TROUBLE
Superintendent Frank X. Welles Not
Notified Of Difficulty Between the
RoaTM and Teachers at Milton.

Although Portland and Spokane
paper of yesterday contained long ar
ticles concerning an alleged difficulty
between the teachers and school board
OF the Milton public schools, County
Superintendent Frank X. Welles has
received no official notice of the mat
ter and knows nothing or the details
except as they have been sent to the
office by private parties from that
section.
1t is charged In the articles mem
toned that members of the school
board coerced teachers into buying
stock in new hotel project before
contracts would be signed with the
teachers for another year, and when
the teachers refused they were not
given their old positions in the pub
lie schools.
There seems to be much bitterness
in the matter and more or less spite
work and while 1t is thought the mat
ter may be brought before the coun-
ty superintendent for settlement, no
action has been taken as yet.
