FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.

One way to get ducks of their FEED
is to get them excited. A dog or a
boy chasing the flock can so disturb a
flock of market ducks as to put them
out of condition. Same way in the
laying house. A disturbance that puts
the hens on nerve knocks the egg
record.
Some one says, THE best way to
tell whether an egg contains a rooster
or hen is to hatch the egg under a
hen and watch the chick for a year,
and II it crows it's rooster. and If it
lays eggs it's hen"
1t is occasionally the case that
breeding pen contains hens that are
not popular with the male or which
give him the cold shoulder. A testing
Of the eggs will show some Of the eggs
infertile, and they may be easily traced.
Such hens should be mated to another
male, as It is seldom they become rec
onciled to the head Of the harem or the
male makes up with them.
When the American Poultry associa-
tion met at Nashville, Tenn, most
restaurants put on lots Of chicken frills,
and chicken soup, chicken salad. chick
en- sandwich and stuffed eggs were on
about every bill Of fare. The mem
bers felt like the boy who said to the
friend who entertained him: Don't
want none Of that. Got plenty Of that
at home"
The single Comb Brown Leghorn
seems to be dropping out OF sight, very
few being seen at shows, and one sell
dom sees a flock Of them. One reason
for this is because show requirements
are such that the ridiculous double
mating system must be resorted to TO
get birds to win. This unnatural
method applied to Barred Rocks mas
also retired them from the head OF the
procession.
A way to interest that boy and to
keep him busy and happy Is 10 give

hemedying Country Wide Evil.
The question of dust on the roads AT
this season Of the year is trouble
some one. and on the solution of this
problem and its study the Office Of pub.
nc roads. Washington. recently made
an Interesting report Concerning the
means OF overcoming the dust evil the
report says:
The dust problem as 1t stands to-
day seems to be open to two methods
or attack first. by applying materials
TO the road which will hold down the
dust formed and. second. by methods
or construction designed to reduce the
formation of dust and therefore the
wear OF the road to minimum. Dust
prevention has so far been mainly con-
fined to the treatment of old macadam
surfaces. and many preparations have
appeared on the market during the last
few years for which great claims have
been made
There are also two general methods
Of preventing dust on finished surfaces
first. keeping down the dust formed
on the road and. second. reducing it's
formation to minimum. With this
classification in mind. a corresponding
division of dust preventives may be
made. and the different materials may
be classed as temporary binders and
permanent binders. 1t will be found
that this classified ton readily lends It.
self to a logical comparison of the rela.
tive merits Of the different materials
when considered in regard to their ap-
plication and suitability for different
kinds Of roads as we'll as to various
conditions OF traffic and climate. The
essential requisite for any dust pre-
ventive is its binding power. or. in 9th
er words. it's power Of holding together
the fine material produced on the sur
face Of ~the road In order to keep
down the dust the temporary binders
from their very nature will. of course
have to be applied with more or less
frequency according as their properties
approach those Of the permanent bind
ers. The term permanent as here
considered is only relative and applies
to those materials which. upon one APP

Marriage of j. III. VanLanding-

tersOn.
The following dispatch from
Petersburg, Va, to The Char
lotte Observer of Thursday will
be of interest, as the groom is
a nephew of Mrs. M. r. McCar-
dell and Mr.. w. T. VanLanding-
ham of this county:
"St. PauPs Episcopal church
was the scene of a brilliant mar
riage yesterday evening at 8
o'clock, the contracting parties
being Miss Ann Belle Patterson
and Mr.. John Henry VanLand-
ingham, Jr. The ushers were
Messrs. Lem Ray Jones, B. Ma
son Hill, Herbert Prichard
Alexander, d. Hamilton and
Edgar l.. Bowling of Petersburg
and DR.. Samuel Budd of Nor
folk. Mr.. Frank B. Emery of
Petersburg was best man.
"The maid of honor, sister of
the bride, Miss Mary Triplett
Patterson. wore a gown of pink
satin and chiffon and carried
Killarney roses. The bride
came leaning gracefully on the
arm of her father, who gave her
away. She was attired in a
gown of white satin trimmed
with Duchess and crown point
lace. Her tulle veil was border
ed with Duchess lace and
caught with orange blossoms.
REV. E. P. cambridge, the
rector, assisted by Rev. G. r.
Stribling, pastor of Taft Street
Presbyterian church, officiated.
A brilliant reception was given
at the residence of the brides
parents on Union street immed-
lately after the ceremony. The
bride, who is a great favorite in
society circles in Petersburg, is
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mel
son Triplett Patterson. The
groom is a prominent young
business man of Petersburg and
a son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
VanLandingham of Charlotte,

MIR. Bryan and the Cabinet.

Discussions, concerning Mr..
Bryan and the personnel of the
Wilson cabinet hinge largely on
rumor and surmise. There has
been no official or authentic an
nouncement that he has accept
ed or has been offered the port
folio of secretary of state. 1t
is entirely credible, however,
that he will head the new cabi-
net; and, if so, the trust will
have been wisely and worthily
bestowed.
From some of Mr.. Bryan's
views in years gone by, The
Journal, in company with many
other Democrats, has found it
necessary to dissent. But no
one has ever had reason to
doubt his abundant gifts as a
statesman or to question his
virile devotion to the party and
the country. He has been
Democracy's faithful leader
through seasons of discourage
ment and defeat. He has been
the pathfinder for many politi-
cal reforms that are already es-
tablished and for others that
are yet to be wrought into ef-
feet. That this leadership and
service should be duly recog-
nized in the hour of the party's
triumph and responsibility
would be only natural and just.
We believe that as secretary
of state Mr.. Bryan would be of
distinctive value and credit to
