FERTILIZER FROM RoosTs

The average farmer does not appre-
ciate as he should the value of the
fertilizer made by poultry This may
be mainly due to the fact that many
times it is not properly stored, so that
much of its chemical constituent ma
terial is lost.
Professor Morse of the New Hamp-
shire experiment station, after refer
ring to the loss of fertilizer value and
answering the question how best to re-
tain 1t, says the best materials for this
purpose are gypsum or land plaster,
acid phosphate and kainit cheap
potash salt. Each of these chemicals
has the power to form new compounds
with the ammonia as fast as it is set
free from the original combination.
Wood ashes and slaked lime should
never be used, because they cannot
combine with ammonia, while they do
force it out of it's compounds and take
its place. Plaster is apt to produce
dry, lumpy mixture when used in large
enough quantities to arrest the am
monia, while kainit and acid phosphate
produce the opposite effect of moist,
sticky mass.
Bulletin SO of the Maine experiment
station says that, using their results
as basis of calculation, the weekly
droppings of a flock of twenty-five
hens when scraped from the roosting
platform should be mixed with about
eight pounds of kainit or acid phos-
phate and half peck of sawdust. If
one desires a balanced fertilizer for
corn and other hoed crops a mixture
of equal parts of kainit and acid phos-
phate could be used instead of either
alone. The same authority tells us
that "good dry meadow muck or peat
would be equally as good as sawdust,
If not better, to use as an absorbent.
Fresh poultry manure at the present
values of fertilizers would be worth
60 cents per hundred pounds. Figures
from different experiment stations
would give the product of twenty-five
hens for the winter season of six
months as 375 pounds for the roost
droppings only.
Poultry manure is especially adapted
as a top dressing for grass because of
it's high content of nitrogen in the form
of ammonia compounds, which are
nearly as quick in their effect as nj
trate of soda. A ton of the manure
would be sufficient for an acre when
compared with a chemical formula for
top dressing.
On the same basis of comparison 100
fowls running at large on an acre
should in a summer season of six
months have added to its fertility the
equivalent of at least 200 pounds of
sulphate of ammonia, 100 pounds of
high grade acid phosphate and sixty
pounds of kainit.

them, the fancier might possess the
game fowl and rest content"
English fanciers continue to lead the
world in the production of show speci-
mems of exhibition games. In the in
terchange among fanciers the game
brings the highest price. In this re-
spect they have always been leaders
BREED CHARACTERISTICS
The exhibition game has a style and
beauty all it's own. High station, shape
and carriage of tail and wings are most
important and are given the greatest
consideration by most skillful breed
ers. A game low on its legs is a thing
to be Stunned. Harrison Weir. de-
scibing the ideal English production,
hays:
Head, long and narrow; beak,
straight, with a light curve and finely
yet strongly set on the head; the eye
large, full and fiery; the neck long and
thin, yet strong shoulders; wide in the
body, deep, but rounded, and flesh on
breast full and hard, with a slight ten
dency TO length thighs, long and thin,
or slender, slightly bent in; the legs
long, feet long and we'll to the ground,
spur set on rather low; tail, narrow,
small and carried low; the whole of
the feathers short. hard. almost like
scales, ct moist or cool to the touch;
general carriage somewhat of ten
dency to be upright
The Black Breasted Red is the most
popular of all standard games, both in
America and England. The plumage of
this fowl is most pleasing. 1t is a
mingling of black, orange and red The
body and stern are black. Back red,
saddle light orange. This refers to the
male. The female in color is mixture
of black. brown and golden brown.
In color the Brown Red is black in
stern and body, the breast being black,
back lemon. The female is colored
upon practically the same lines-less
brilliant, of course.
The Golden Duckwing Is one of the
most beautiful of games. His body and
stern are black, with a beautiful gol-
den colored back, breast glossy black.
Shoulders and wing fronts are black;
wing-bows golden. The female is
mngling of black, silver gray and deep
salmon.
The Silver Duckwing is the same as
the golden, substituting silver coloring
for that of golden.
The body and stern of the Birchen
games are black, neck siivery white,
back white, shoulders black, wing-bowss
silvery white. The female is garbed in
colors of brown black and silvery
white.
White games-pure white throughout.
Black games-plumage throughout,
black, with metallic luster.

A HINT TO POULTRY KEEPERS

A rather novel method employed for
curing hens of broodiness is illustrated
in the october Strand. A stick about
two feet in length is fastened on the
back of the bird by means of two
pieces of string, which are tied round
the shoulders. This effectually pre-
vents the hen from entering the fowl
house and sitting on the nest, and in
a few days generally stops a hen from
wanting to sit," as people say.

An Augusta Minister.

A former Mt. Scion young man who
engaged in the ministry and for two
years was pastor at Elkton, Va, and
ten years ago went to Iowa, has rapidly
risen in his chosen work, and few
weeks ago was called 10 one of the larg-
est churches in that State. His friends
in Virginia and West Virginia will be
pleased to read what the Snarpsburg,
Iowa, Review, has to say about his
leaving there. Mr.. Walton's parents
are living at Elkton: Rev. A. p. Wal
ton rendered his resignation to the ses-
sion of the local Presbyterian church
last Monday night, March IA, which
was accepted with great regret.
A resolution was offered by'a men,
Der of the session and accepted, and re-
corded that this resignation was accept
ed with extreme reluctance.
Rev. Walton has accepted a call
from the Presbyterian church at Brook
lyn, 20 miles east of Des Moines.
Rev. Walton came here four years
ago, and in connection with his work
here, also preached at Prairie chapel
for three years, at the end of which
time the local church petitioned the
Presbytery for all of his time, and of,
fered to materially increase the salary
paid here in order to secure his whole
efforts, and were successful.
A very enthusiastic class of young
church workers has been built up here
through the work of Rev. and Mrs.
Walton, giving to the church fine
choir service and Christian Endeavor
He gives excellent reasons why he &C
cepted the call to Brooklyn naming
among them its educational advanta
ges.

uThe Land of Ned.

ssThe Land of Nod' musical extra
vaganza in a prologue and two act will
come to the Beverly on Wednesday,
March 30, for matinee and night per-
formances. The production is fresh
from the larger cities where it scored
decided success.
One of the reasons way ssThe Land of
Nod'' has been so unusually successful
is on account of its decidedly unique
character creations and the novelty
and picturesqueness of the play. The
prologue shows beautiful garden Of
flowers where children are at play.
"Little Bonnie falls asleep beneath a
rose bush, and the change of scene to
the first act disclosed her in the Gland
of Nod.n In this mysterious sleep
land, with such strange features as a
peppermint river, house of cards,
a candy bridge, balloon trees and mush-
room palaces, Bonnie starts exploring.
She encounters "The Jack of Hearts
and his parents 'TThe King and Queen
of Hearts, "The Wheather Man,"
"April Foo" "The Sandman" and his
pal "Knockout Drops" the merry old
"Man in the Moon" and other queer
people who contribute to her amuse-
ment.
The production represent an enor-
nous investment and is said to be one
of the most magnificent spectacles ever
seen on tour The cast remains almost
the same as the original.

DIR, MCCORMACK AT
SUMMER SCHOOLS
VISIT VIRGINIA FOR SECOND
TIME IN JULY NEXT.

TIME IN j UL1 NEAL
Richmond, Va, March 24.-Dr. J.
n. Mccormack, the well known health
lecturer, has accepted an invitation to
visit Virginia during July and to speak
at the summer normal schools in be-
half of public health.
The State Health Commissioner, who
gave out this Information today is
greatly elated at being able to secure
DR.. Mccormack for a second tour of
this State, especially as DR.. Mccormack
is in demand as lecturer all over the
country. "When DR.. Mccormack was
last in the State" said the Commits
sioner this afternoon, Gle lectured by
invitation in several cities and towns.
Wherever he went he was cordially re-
ceived and was always greeted by large
audiences. In every instance his de-
lightfully humorous and strong lee
lures aroused great enthusiasm. Some
of the audiences he addressed were so
aroused by the logic of his remarks
they at once formed health or improve
ment leagues and began serious move
ments for better municipal conditions.
"Our aim in bringing DR.. McCor-
mack to the State this summer is to
give the teachers of all our schools the
best and latest ON the possibilities of
public health. We feel that when the
teachers are fully enlisted in the work
of better health, they will not fail to
teach their pupils. When this is done,
the victory for better health will be
won

DR.. Austin IN Trouble.

DIR. S. A. Austin, former well
known resident of Waynesboro, was
arrested in Roanoke last week, where
he had been practicing for some years,
charged with criminal malpractice.
The judge of the corporation court has
called special grand jury which will
hear the case today. In speaking of
the rumors about the matter the Roam
oke World says:
1t can be stated positively that the
case against DR.. S. A. Austin in which
he is charged with criminal malprac-
tice will be settled in the courts and
there will be no compromise on his
agreeing to leave the city as has been
intimated.
The physician who is under $1,000
bail is in the city, and according to his
attorneys is not endeavoring to evade
prosecution by leaving Roanoke.
AS stated yesterday DIR. Austin had
about perfected arrangements to remove
to his former home at Waynesboro for
the practice of his profession and should
he do so as contemplated, his counsel
declare that he will be here to refute
any charges which may be brought
against him by the commonwealth.
His counsel declared today that so
far as they know no proposition has
L. l. L.
city, and that in the event of his doing
so the prosecution will be withdrawn.
Commonwealth Attorney Perkins
sets at rest any such rumors or state
ments to the effect that there will be
a compromise by stating that he ex-
poets to vigorously prosecute the case,
and that it will never be settled except
by jury, and the court.

New Trial Ordered.

Among our supreme courts decisions
last,week is one against the Norfolk &
Western Railway, the style of the case
being Bragg's administrators VS.. N. d
w. Ry.
On December "a, 1908, Bragg, the de-
cedent, who was the telegraph operator
at Lochlaird, a station near Buena
Vista, went to his home in Roanoke
on trip pass and while in the Magic
City drank something which made him
more or less irresponsible.
When he got on the train to go back
to Lochlaird he was in most lament
able state and knew so little of what
was going on that he did not get off at
the place where he worked, but was
carried to the next station.
There he was forcibly elected. Evil
IDENTIFY he was persona non grata with
the master of the station at which he
was dumped out, for instead of remain
ing under shelter of the railroad IS prop
erty he was allowed to wander forth
aimlessly in the cold and snow. He
passed whole night outdoors and was
found unconscious near the track next
day. Although he then received prop
er attention, he soon died.
The unfortunate mans administra-
triX brought suit for damages against
the railroad, but the circuit court OF
Rocllbridge sustained demurrer to the
declaration, which put the plaintiff out
of court. The appeal, however, has re-
suited in reversal and the case is re.
mandeG for second trial.
The gist of the case is the extent te
which the Norfolk and Western Is re-
Sp0nSible under the circumstances fol
the care and protection of tire Inflated
operator.
Young Bragg was at one time an
operator in the G. & o. office here. He
married Miss Dyche, who with two
children survive him.
Little Carolyn Catherine, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. ID. GochenOur, has
