Remembers Jackson's Days

Grandson of a revolutionary soldier and still in the best of health Reu- ben F. Leiby, the oldest living native of Lehigh county, on the Fourth of July celebrated his one hundredth birthday anniversary with family re- union held at his own request at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Nathan Shaffer at Snyder's. Born in Lynn township. he is the oldest son of the late Frederick Leiby and in turn was farmer, tanner teacher. drover. ho- telkeeper, surveyor and justice of the peace. says an Allentown, Pa. dispatch in the Philadelphia Record.
 He vividly remembers the days of Andrew Jackson; but the first Pres idcnt of the United States for whom he could vote was Martin Van Buren. He comes of long-lived and sturdy an- cestry and is still great walker. hav- ing formed the habit whom youth. be- fore the days of such easy transpor- tation as railroads and automobiles.
 The first visit he ever made to Phil adelphia he walked from Jacksonville, Lehigh county, a distance of 26 miles. At the age of 23 he walked to Ohio to visit an uncle, the tramp taking 12 days.
 When he was a teacher, before the days of common schools, he received 40 cents month tuition from each pupil some of whom were married men and women, eager to learn to read and write During vacation he made bee hives.
 The remarkable centenarian Is in ex- Itraordinary physical condition. He has lall his faculties. can read without glasses. takes an occasional tipple spins yarns, covers considerable dis tances in walking and is passionately fond of his pipe.

 The string of prospective winners should include two or three times as show. This gives opportunity for closer selection when the date approaches Some promising individuals will go wrong dur ing the next few weeks, others of ap- parently inferior quality may blossom in- to top-notch specimens Then there is al- ways the possibility of disease and death taking their toll.
 These exceptional specimens should be removed from the general flock and given the best the plant affords. Where pos sible. they should be divided into small groups, the males separated from the fe- males. Wide range is desirable: but if this is not available, roomy yards will do, especially if located on good sod or other growing green stuff
 The house should be clean, cool and well ventilated. Better to send the flock to roost in the apple trees than force it into hot. crowded, dirty buildings. In fact. birds which spend their nights, fair and rainy, perched in some big tree with thick foliage, often develop the finest of plum age. This plan is adopted oftener than the public would believe.
 Plenty of thick shade is also essential. Exposure to the blazing sun is by many considered hurtful to color, especially of the pure white breeds Quite number of the leading specialists in white fowls new CT permit their birds to spend much time

A Prize Winnine Plax

Aplay-writing contest conducted by 2 New York theatrical producer who of fered prize of s10.00O to the author Q the manuscript that met with the ap proval of board of three competen, judges. has been won by woman. Her victory Is the more creditable to her and her sex because her drama, "Chil- dren of Earth" easily won over 1646 rivals.
 Miss Alice Brown, the New England novelist and short story writer, may be congratulated for proving that her sex is match for the men when k invades the field of dramatic literature.
 Until comparatively lately women rare- ly aspired to be dramatists. But the theater of today is as open to the women as to the men. Their grasp of its op- portunities Is shown by the fact that two of the most popular plays produced in New York two years ago were Miss Githa Sowerbys Rutherford & Son and Mrs. Eleanor Gates The Poor Little Rich Girl, says the New York World.
 In the dramatic season just ended eighteen out of the l04 new plays that were produced were written by women. Ten of these met with a fair degree of success which is a high percentage.

 In the showroom the demand is for
 pure white plumage, free from brassiness
 or creaminess. This explains why some
 fanciers are so particular about protect
 ing their birds from sunburn and also why certain of them are seemingly fool ish in the matter of the ration used. A friend of the writer, noted throughout America for his ability to produce 'win- ming White Rocks and White Wyandottes Is most decided in the belief that yellow Corn imparts a creamy tint to the plum age, and his flock recieves only white corn.
 The various poulty parasites, internal

Unfortunately, it's greatest admirers have for years bred to feather. to the exclusion of strictly utility characteristics. and 1t Is to be feared that a certain portion of the later have been lost.
 However, the Hamburgs, even those strains most noted for perfection of show points, are not to be despised as layers. The eggs are medium in size and white shelled. Hamburg hens are non-sitters, an advantage from the standpoint of egg production.
 One of the most distinctive points of the breed Is the comb. This is of the double or rose type, Is beautifully in shape and contributes in no small degree to the charm and elegance of this sur passingly beautiful fowl. Some other fowls, notably the Rose-Comb Bantam and rose-comb varieties of the Leghorn, have somewhat similar head gear, but this is due to an infusion of Hamburg blood
 One of the most pleasing characteristics of this breed is its tendency to breed true
