A House For 100 Hens.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an article about
the Profitable Farm Poultry House.
According to the author about one
hundred hens is the number kept
on most farms. In order to build
suitable fabitation for one hun
dred hens, house costing about
$165 Is necessary. The author says
in part:
when you build houses for
chickens. you want to keep in mind
their health and comfort. Proper
housing increases egg production,
and improper housing decreases it..
Locate your poultry house on 4
light, porous soil, like gravel, some
what higher than the surrounding
ground. Build it on the south side
Of your farm barn, not Immediately
next to it, but close enough so that
it Is sheltered from the cold north
winds. II this is not possible, build
it on the leeward side of your or
chard or woodlot. Always face it to
the south so the windows will ad-
nit all the sunlight possible. Allow
about four square feet of floor space
per fowl. A good size to build for
one hundred fowls is sixteen feet
wide and twenty-five feet long. If
you desire to keep more, the length
or the number of houses may be
increased.
"a weii-built poultry house
should be dry, well lighted and well
is one great essential to be always
kept in mind.
''The only satisfactory floor for
a poultry house is a concrete floor,
laid on a sub-filler of cobblestones,
or common field stones. The con-
crete mixture that has given good
service is made of the following pro-
portions: One part cement, two
parts sand and three parts gravel.
To get a smooth and hard surface
on top of the floor, lamp it down
we'll, so the water and cement will
rise to the top, where it will harden
1.-THE foundation should be of
concrete and common field stones
and should come at least six inches
above the surrounding ground. The
concrete mixture for foundation is
the same as for floor. Foundation
walls should be beneath frost line,
but to within six inches of the sur
face. For that no concrete need
be used. Ali that is necessary is
to fill the trench with small stones.
Another very important factor
in the construction of poultry
house is that there be absolutely
no drafts. This can only be accom-
plished by building the three sides
alright. Allow all air fresh to
come in one side, preferably the
south side, and even there If posi-
BILE above the fowls"

MERCHANTS ARE BUSY.
Stocks Were Never So Large And
Indications Point To the Great =
est Business In The Hist
DRY of This City.

Where Is the market for all of
the goods that are brought to Cam
bridge? Anyone going along the
principal business streets, and think
Ing of the large number of stores,
many of them large ones, in Cam
bridge Is moved to ask the above
question. Not only are the stocks
large at this time, but they are
always so. Cambridge merchants
carry, by far, the largest and best
stocks Of merchandise to be found
on the Shore; in fact, as has fire.
quently been stated by competent
observers, who were not residents
of nor interested in Cambridge, the
stores here will compare very ia
vorably with those of the larger
cities.
At this season of the year they
are unusually pretty and attractive,
for in addition to the regular stocks
they have on hand a large assort-
ment of Christmas goods, which
are nicely displayed. In the differ
emit stores will be found almost
everything that one could ask for
or desire; it matters not whether it
Is q gift for a lady or gentleman,
q boy or girl, or what not, it can
be found, and found in prices to
suit the purses of all.
And as the result of their ability
to buy here so cheaply, buyers from
all sections of this county, and al
so from the three adjoining counties
come to Cambridge to make their
purchases. Each year sees this
class of trade increasing, the rea-
son being, as was recently stated
by a gentleman who had just spent
about 500 at the Cambridge stores,
II can buy cheaper in Cambridge
than I can in Baltimore, the rea-
son being. I suppose, because your
merchants here are under less ex-
pense for rents, clerk hire, ETC.,
than are the city merchants" He
had sized the situation up right.

JURY ACQu|Ts DUNCAN.
Killing of John w. Allen Held To
Have Been Justified.

Easton, Md, Dec. 5.-William B.
Duncan was acquitted this after
noon by the jury before which he
was tried here on charge of muir
der for the killing of John w. AL
len, at Pocomoke City, on July 10,
last.
The case was given to the jury
few minutes after 4 O'Clock. Twen-
ty-four minutes later 1t returned
with its verdict. Before the YER
dict was announced the Court warn
ed the crowd which filled the room
that there must be no demonstra-
ton. The clerk then called for the
verdict, and the foreman answered,
Not guilty."
A few minutes later, in the CORR
dor of the Court House, Duncan
collapsed and sank against table.
His family and friends pressed
about him and when he had recov-
cred he exclaimed:
UOu hLoWS hCfCl 1ACOhuCu ~
kill that man. I would not have
done it for the world, but I was
forced to shoot in self-defense.
The verdict occasioned no sur
prise,and is generally approved here
A verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree was expected by no
body. Eugene O'Dunne. of Balti-
more, who assisted in the prosecu-
ton, in the closing address before
the jury this afternoon, abandoned
the charge of first degree murder
and asked for verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree, or
manslaughter.
Among thoe who attended the
trial, however, the opinion that the
shooting of Allen by Duncan was
justifiable was practically unani-
nous, and the jurors reached the
same conclusion.
Pleas for the defendant were
made today by N. B. Westcott, of
Virginia, and Joshua w. Miles, OF
Princess Anne, and these eloquent
attorneys moved many in the Court
room to tears as they urged the
jury to set Duncan free and let
him go home with his wife and
children.
The closing address for the
State by Mr.. O'Dunne, of Balti-
more, was also mastery piece of
oratory. Taking fling at Attorney
Westcott. of counsel for the de-
Tense, he said: while you may
walk up behind a man in Virginia
and shoot him down, you cannot do
it here in law-abiding communi-
ty."

Disposal Plant
for City Urged
Believed Money Could Be Saved
by Proposition.

A resolution introduced by Board OF
Works Commissioner William Mungle
at the meeting yesterday. asking that
an engineer be detailed to the inspec-
ton of garbage disposal plants IN
various cities, indicates thai Newark
is seriously considering the erection
of such plants. Newark's garbage con-
tract expires in September and the
lighting contract in January of next
year.
Mr.. Mungle and Commissioner
Charles f. Kraemer thought that the
garbage incarceration plants Will not
only save money in the isposal OIL
waste, but generate enough power to
light the entire city. DR.. Kramer mas
prepared plans for the division OF the
city into four parts and the erection
of an incineration plant in each dis
trict. The board thought we'll of the
project. :.
Another important subject was dealt
with bv the board when President
o,Connell gave it as his opinion that
all buildings and dwelling houses in
the city should be supplied with water
meters. AT present only 40 per cent.
are so equipped.
The subject was brought up when
the commissioners talked about the
complaints OF the users of high press
ure water service for fee charged for
the connection of pipes from the street
TO the building. The boar went on
record as favoring the adjustment OF
this fee, providing the users of high
as well as low pressure service are
willing that meters be installed.
Richard w. Ehrler will be paid $500
for the plans he made for the Clayton
street bathhouse. This site for bath
house purposes has been abandoned,
and Ehrler will be the architect
for the new bathhouse, at Montgomery
and Charlton streets. For drawing the
plans for this site. and for the super
intendence, he will get a fee of 6 per
cent. of the total cost of the building.
The Clayton street property will be
turned over to the Common Council,
which body will be asked to credit the
Board of Works with the cost Of the
land.
The board passed a resolution asking
the Common Council for an a~ppropria-
ton of $247.00 for the opening of Ward
street from Market to Cherry streets
to a width of fifty feet.

answered for the same date of last
year. Following closely upon one an
other eight alarms were answered by

fire gained Roadway before the fire
apparatus arrived, despite the work
of the men from the factory. doing
all in their power to combat the
flames. The fire started in the dust

blowing caused alarm, and 1t was only
after great work that the flames were
kept from spreading to adjoining
buildings.

HOW THEY PROPOSE BY ONE
WHO KNOWS.
Please give recognition
To my fit position
To know the condition
When maidens propose;
And before I've begun to,
Just take it from unto
One whom it was done to,
And therefore, who knows.
She'll chatter and f1atter
With words that don't matter,
Then kid you and bid you
To call again soon.
Of course you will fall for her
sweet words and call for her
Next night, all right,
You bite like a loon.
To please you she'll tease you,
Then seize you and squeeze you,
And down on your knees you
Don't dare to forbid.
You hear all her lovey bluff,
Dear turtle dovey stuff,
Then wink and blink
Till you think she's some kid.
With big eyes goo-gooing,
She'll then begin doing
Some wooing and cooling
And talk of a nest;
And long fore you know it
You'll go it and throw 1t,
To her you will blow it
That you love her best.
That's what she was staying for
Laying and praying for,
Pop" goes the question
And let me confess,
That it's little wonder
While you are thus under
Her power, by thunder,
You blunder out, Yes"
