POULTRY CULTURE
ARTICLE XII.

Climate.-EXperience in practical
poultry keeping indicates that a eli
mate which corresponds most closely
TO the conditions out of doors in the
month of June is the most favorable
for the fowls. The season indicated
possesses many of the favorable feat
ures of the climate of India where our
common domestic land fowls are sup
posed to have originated. 1t provides
the most comfortable. climate condi-
tions for both the breeding fowls and
growing chicks. When we come to
study the principles of breeding and
their application to poultry culture we
shall learn that a warm climate and
comfortable conditions tend to prolific
increase of the f1ocks.
In the June days the breeding stock
range freely They find the tempCra-
ture equable and agreeable; green
food and animal food in favorite
forms are abundantly supplied by ma
ture; the air is pure and balmy; fresh
water is furnished by streams or
springs. Sunshine is abundant, but
not excessive, and shade is available.
Dry soil is at hand for dust baths.
There are no severe wind storms to
prevent the focks taking healthy exer-
else Little If any artificial shelter is
needed either by day or night. All
conditions contribute to make life
| agreeable and conducive to productive
results among the fowls. The grow
ing chicks thrive under The favoring
conditions.
Bearing in mind these congenial
cor it!ons the poultryman takes up
the consideration of the actual condi-
tons throughout the year, of any pro-
posed location.
Aspect and Elevation.-Aspect and
| elevation are TO be considered. The
poultry culturists in the cold northern
| latitudes seek osecure the full bene-
| fit of the suns rays by selecting land
somewhat elevated and sloping to the
south, southeast or southwest
Protection from standardization
| from the discomforts of sweeping
winds is desired in the form of nils,
| forests or other natural windbreaks on
the north side of the poultry plant or
On the side whence come the prevail
ing winds of the colder seasons. Avoid
the location that is frequently storm
swept in autumn. winter and spring.
Land fowls do not take kindly to wind,
rain, snow or hail storms.
On tie other hand there is some
times danger of too little circulation OF
air in hot weather Do not accept a
location where the rays of the sun
beat down with terrific heat in sum
mer unrelieved by currents of morn
ing air. A sultry dead atmosphere
| tends to enervate the fowls.
Atmospheric Drainage.-The atmos-
pheric drainage is something equally
important, though rot often taken into
account Shun the place where the
mists, fogs and vspors settle and re-
main The currents of atmospheric
moisture naturally follow down the
slopes of the land and come to rest in
the enclosed valleys and swamps.

Big Still DESTROYED.

Two officials of Internal Reven-
ne Agent Knox Booths office,
Nashville, unassisted, captured
ten moonshiners at work in a
still near Flora in Lincoln coun-
ty, without q shot having been
fired. So quietly was the raid
planned and executed that the
wild-catters, who, it is said, were
caught while operating the still,
surrendered without the slightest
resistance, and the officials load
ed up the ten prisoners and haul
ed them twelve miles to Tulla
homa, where they were placed in
Jail to await the action of the
United States commissioner. The
men arrested were: Rance Mears,
r. M. Medley, Ell, II. Hill, Will
Syler, Thomas Cook, Frank Bax-
ter, jim Neal, Arthur Steetman,
Joe Mays and John Bean, the
last named colored. The still,
which was destroyed with axes,
was one of the largest found
since the m anufacture of
whisky independent of govern
ment sanction was declared a vi
olation of law, and more than
1000 gallons of beer was allowed
to gush forth when the tanks
were broken by the officers, sew
eral kegs of whisky were destroy
ed and the copper still of 100
gallons was cut into shreds by
the. officers. The worm of the
still, was cut into strips and taken
to Nashville for evidence.

CLOSING OF SCHOOL.
Appropriate and Interesting
Exercises Carried Out.

School, which consisted of a pro-
gram of solos and duets by Miss
Jessie Wilkinson's music class.

reflect credit upon the ability of

evening were a sextette, musi.

aad an Irish song by twelve little
girls, all of which were greatly
enjoyed by the audience.
Thursday afternoon an enter
tainment was given by the pu-
pills of the primary grades which,
despite the inclement weather,
was enjoyed by very large au-
dience. A great many people
have expressed themselves as
this being the best entertainment
ever given here by small children.
The program consisted of recita
tions, songs and drills by the lit.

the best features of the after

The Morse code, by which mes

work of wires throughout the civilized
world, was not the invention of Sam

origin, being the old Gaelic dot and

declared Prof James Money before
the Archaeological Society of Wash

Museum.
Prof. Money said that the Gaelic
alphabet, or the Ogem system, as it is
known, was actually the basis of the
so-called Morse code. He insisted his
contention was fully carried out by
the records of the ancient Irish peo-
pie as found in stone and wooden
carvings.
There were seventeen letters in the
Gaelic alphabet" he declared, "and
they began with one dash, went up to
i've dashes, than from five dashes
down to one dash and then began the
dots very much the same as the
Morse alphabet used in telegraphy."
