Damaged Nickels.


Some time ago there was a story
of a boy somewhere who offered a
worn and defaced nickel to pay
his car fare, which the conductor
refused to accept and elected him.
The matter got into court and
the Docket, a law magazine, pres
ents the following report of the
case: "Little Howard Rosnagle
boarded a street car with only a
worn and cracked nickel in his
pocket. The conductor refused to
accept it and elected the terrified
little fellow from the car. The
coin was issued by authority of
law to circulate as money, and
was merely worn, bruised and
cracked in the process of circula.
ton. It was not appreciably di-
Unfinished in weight and retained
the evidence of its being of gen
uiDe coinage. The Supreme Court
of Ohio, in Cincinnati Northern
Traction Company VS.. Rosnagle,
OK Northeastern Reporter, 884,
holds that under the facts the
nickel was legal tender and that
Howard could maintain an action
for damages against the company,
even though the conductor in
good faith believed that it was not
legal tender. The court also holds
that, even though be had had an
other nickel, it would not have
been necessary for him to have
rendered it in payment of bis
| Itare." This is national law and
good in every state. Itshould also

To Agents:
In view of the present conditions
in the flooded districts of the
Mississippi Valley, the people of
these districts are facing grave
problem relative to the crops that
may be planted upon the land
during the remainder of the seas.
on. Sweet pototoes constitute one
of the principle sources of food
for these people but most OF the
seed and plants in the flooded
districts have been destroyed. It
will be necessary to depend upon
the highlands for sweet potato
plants and cuttings for planting in
the low country after the waters
have subsided. Many of the up
land farmers throughout the South
have planted beds for their own
use and it is earnestly urged that
these beds be preserved and
later crop of plants obtained for
sending to their stricken fellow
men in the flooded territory. Any
small sweet potatoes that are now
on hand could be planted to make
plants and vine cuttings. Any
farmer having supply of either
seed sweet potatoes or plants
will be doing a worthy act if he
places these at the disposal of the
farmers in the flooded district.
The information should be given
to the local agent of the farmers
.ce,operative demonstrtion work
who will inform the committee in
charge of the work. After the
flood has passed arrangements
will be made for transporting and
distributing the plants.

OLD HENS ARE POOR LAYERS
Experiments at Maryland Station
Shows That Aged Birds Are
Maintained at Serious Loss.

At the Maryland station, in study
of the egg production OF sixty white
Leghorn hens in three successive
years the average number of eggs
per bird was 1913 the first year;
1491 the second year and 1911 the
third year.
The estimated cost OF the mainte'
nance of the flock was 800 for each
year; the profit per hen was s2.07
the first year. si.6f the second year
and 80 cents the third year All Of
the five hens which produced 200
eggs and over laid their first egg in
November, whereas Of the fowls pro-
ducing 100 and under only 81 per
cent. laid their first egg in Novem-
ber; "A per cent. laid their first
egg in January, and 13 per cent. laid
their first egg in February.
One fowl made the best record in
the third year, t3 in the second year,
and the remainder during the first
year. The percentage Of shrinkage
proves conclusively that birds Of this
age are being maintained at a serious
financial loss

PREPARE FOWLS FOR WINTER
Thoroughly Dipped IN Solution Of
Warm Water and Grease Effectu-
ally Kills All Vermin.

Save all the strong bacon grease,
especially the grease from fried ba-
con. When your fowls sit around
picking themselves and looking
droopy and shabby, get a large. deep
can OF bucket; from It's shape a large
candy bucket "a best; fll II nearly
full Of warm water; on this pour melt
ed grease until II forms a thick scum
over the water; catch your fowls. take
them one by one by their wings, and
with the head straight up. dip them
down, pretty hard. two or three times
into the water; let the head go com.
pletely under once; do this quickly TO
avoid strangling the fowl; then turn
It loose.
After waiting a few hours for the
water to drip from the feathers, drive
them into the shade, so the sun will
not blister them. For a short time
they will be sorry looking lot Of
fowls.
This treatment causes the feathers
10 fall apart, so the body Of the fowl
is cool. the water softens the skin;
the grease-laden feathers fall out cas-
ily, and the new ones push their way
through the skin and grow In masses
instead of one or two in a place; the
time of molting is shortened; the
fatty grease kills all the vermin on
the fowl, while grease-saturated festh-
ers are death traps to any vermin
that may get on them.
Keep the bucket filed with water
and pour more grease on the water
from time to time.
The fowls should be dipped early
In the morning, and made TO roost
under shelter for several nights.
BY dipping the fowls in the early
fall they become healthy and free
from pests. hence stand the winter
better and in the spring have little OF
no vermin to annoy them and get on
and kill their little ones.
