Montreal Sleeper Wrecked T..

with two locomotives and train of ten
cars, travelling at a rate of As miles per
hour, struck broken rail at a. m. one
mile north of Leicester Junction at
what is known as the Story crossing
and three of the sleepers were derailed.

naming cars and went on their way.
The wrecking train was soon on the
scene, and after repairing the track and
placing new ties on the roadbed, which
was torn up for distance of 40 rods,
the first car was taken to the Junction
Sunday afternoon. The last remaining
cars were not moved until Monday

then proceeds to lay her first egg at
$50 p. m. one day and the second at
2:30 p. m. the third day. They sit al.

to 10 a. N. and the male then to the
afternoon hour.
About seventeen days after the first

that they are able to change grain to
chyme, a milky. predigested food, and
they simply take the bird babys beak
in their own and by spasmodic ac-
ton of their crop inject the liquid into
the squads crop.
AS squads grow the old birds modi-
fy the feed to coarser, and when
young birds are able to digest 1t the

squads feed themselves.

OBITUARY..
ROSA MAY HURLBUT.

Rosa May Hurlbut, wife of A. ].
Hurlbut of the town of Middlebury, de-
parted this life at the residence of her
husband after a brief illness, on the
night of January 5. Mrs. Hurlbut
was born in Ripton thirtyseven years
ago. Fifteen years ago she was mar
ried to her now bereaved husband and
about two years later moved with him
to Middlebury taking up their residence
in the east part of the town on the
farm which he purchased and still &C.
cupies.
Mrs. Hurlbuts life, though brief,
was not without wholesome influence
upon the community in which she spent
the greater part of her married life.
Her neighbors, with one accord, speak
of her as a quiet, gentle, kind and
obliging member of the community
one who was always sympathetic with
those in trouble and helpful to those in
need. AS wife and companion she
was a true home maker-interested,
energetic and thrifty in all the affairs
of her household She was a true help
meet to her husband, a wise and safe
counselor in all his material interests.
AS a mother she was devoted to her
only child. son, in whose training she
found this pleasure of true mother.
AS a Christian she loved her Lord and
His church and was always ready to
aid cheerfully with her means and serv-
ice every good cause.
Her going has left vacancy not only
in her home but also in her community
and her church. The bereaved have,
however, the consolation that she did
not fear death for she was ready etc
depart and be with Christ"

Don't let hens run in cold fall rains.
They will not pick up enough to pay
their undertakers' bills.
Don't feed cut clover with coarse
stems. These should be sifted out, as
they are apt to cause hard crop.
Don't expect hens not to break eggs
in nests that are too small, and don't
get mad If they fight and scramble
eggs where there are not sufficient
ne1Hs
Don't expect your hens not to loaf
if you let them fill up. Feed just
enough to keep them working well ali
day, and let them have the full meal
for supper to keep their grinders go
ing all night.
Don't get discouraged and blame
that failure on the hens. You must
not only study your hens, but your
self. and the results of your methods
and failure may nearly always be
traced to the fellow behind the hens.
