Bellaire, Ohio, has been without sa-

ing to the argument of the 'wets" it
should by this time be dead as a

valley" the Wheeling Intelligencer
tells US, can be found buster or live
lier town than Bellaire. This fact is
plainly demonstrated every Saturday
night. All the stores along the main
streets were SO crowded that progress
was almost impossible. One merchant
stated that the crowd in his store was
so large the he, assisted by his corps
Of clerks, could scarcely accommodate
them. This city is now on a straight
and rapid road of progress, and in a
few years will undoubtedly be the
foremost city of the valley. The peo-
pie are becoming aware of the fact
that the money spent at home builds
up the town and makes it a better

CULLING MAKES FINE FOWLS
Runts and Deformed Birds Should Be
Disposed Of Immediately to Make
Room for Good Ones.

The first great secret in the pro-
duction of fine poultry is severe Gull
ling. AS soon as you can distinguish
between the good and the bad, COM
mence the culling process. The runts
and the deformed, the off-colored and
the disqualified, should be at once dis
posed of, SO that the room and feed
may not be appropriated by them to
the detriment of the good ones.
Select fowls of good size, proper
color and correct formation. If the
backs, keels, legs or toes of any are
crooked or deformed, thrown them out
for the table on the market. If there
are any scrubs, small or feeble ones,
it is best to end their existence.
When you Gull, Gull closely, and re-
tain only such specimens as are rea-
sonably sure to grow right. 1t is only
by such systems of severe culling
that one can ever hope to breed rea-
sonably uniform specimens of fancy

WHY THEY WON.

The sporting writer of large east
ern daily tells of the first notable vic
tories won by American athletes over
those of England An English team
had come to New York for an easy
time in maintaining their old-time SUI
periority over all other nations. The
evening before the opening of the
events a few of the Americans dropped
into the British headquarters and were
astonished to find several of them sip
ping ale. In reply to their express
sions of surprise the Englishmen pro-
tested: "Oh, we always drink ale, but
not much of it." In the ensuing con-
tests Great Britain was badly beaten.
Sportsmen in the tight little isle are
now speaking seriously of the United
States rise in the athletic world, and
are beginning to admit that the Amer
lean system of no intoxicants and no
tobacco at all times must be adopted
in England If the mother country can
hope for the regaining of her lost
laurels.

A Chicago coroner gives it as his
opinion-the result of his experience
with joy-riding accidents-that men
who are out all night drinking whis-
ky and beer should not be trusted
to drive automobiles. If there is no
law, he says, under which a drunken
chauffeur can be locked up. the city
council had better get busy and make
one.
How would 1t be to lock up the
places which make drunken drivers?
Why not outlaw the thing which

Spread of Contaulon.

Drinking water in poultry houses
is one cause of the rapid spread of
contagious diseases, such as roup. An
affected hen when she places her beak
in the water to get a drink, contami-
mates all the water. Then, when
healthy hens drink from this water
supply they become exposed to what.
ever disease the sick hen has. Thus,
when one fowl contracts a contagi,
