We can obtain large yields of oats.

In the cotton belt live stock farm

reasons: ID Because allcotton farm

Now, millions Of acres are too poor
to grow cotton proftably, and we can
easily eradicate the cattle tick. Since
the work Of eradicating the tick was
inaugurated. nearly 100000 square
miles have been cleaned for all time;
this is an area over three times as

CULLING MAKES fiNE Fowls Gt G
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 cul'
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,
1t 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
hat one can ever hope to breed rea-
sonably uniform specimens Of fancy
poultry.

THE GIRL AND THE CHATTING
DISH.

For pure enjoyment, give us char
ing dish with a few good materials TO
prepare, and a good time will surely
be the answer. From soups to lob
ster salad, there is nothing the mind
of woman will not dare. The accom-
paniments of sandwiches and relishes
are, of course, essential.
For the young woman who enter
tains her girl friends at college OF
away from home, canned things are
The best and easiest to prepare. Many
delicious dishes may be prepared from
canned chicken, lobster, salmon and
peas.
Chicken WiggIe.-Melt tablespoon
full of butter, add two tablespoonfuls
of -four, and when smooth add a pint
Of milk very slowly, and boil. Then
add a can of chicken, can of peas
salt, pepper, and just before serving,
a beaten egg. Shrimp Wiggle is pre-
pared the same way, using shrimps in
stead of chicken.
Salmon Holandaise.-Melt table
spoonful of butter. add tablespoon
full of flour, and when smooth add
can of salmon and a can of peas. Stir
until hot. Serve with lemon or put
lemon juice into the dish before serV-
ing. Serve on crackers.
A spread without candy is not to be
thought of. One nice candy which Is
made without cooking is the follow
ing: Take half pint cup, drop into
it white of egg, then pour in cold
water to half fill the cup. Stir until
it is foamy, then mix as much pow
dered sugar into it as it will hold, IN
til it can be handled. Then add flavor,
color. Add fruit to make a variety OF
kinds.
Delicious SaIad--To 90 with any
spread this will honor the occasion:
A can of shredded pineapple drained
from it's juice, two cups pecans and
half a pound of marshmallows. May
onnaise with whipped cream to soften
it. This should really be called Am
brosia, dish for the gods.

Examine Piqs' Teeth.

If the sow is observed to jump up
frequently while sucking her pigs or
to lie on her belly to prevent them
from sucking, better examine the
pigs teeth. You may find them SO
sharp as to wound the sow's teats
as to cause her great pain and annoy
ance. The needle-like points of the
pigs teeth may be pinched off with
a pair of pinchers.

Prevention ls Cheapest.

Eradicating a contagious disease
from a poultry flock is a tedious and
costly process. The best way Is to
prevent the outbreak in the first
place by keeping the buildings clean
and sanitary. When a fowl gets sick.
If it is not killed 1t should be isolated
and the remainder Of the flock closely
watched for signs Of further trouble.

Spread of Contagion.

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 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.
Gus disease it generally is but COM
paratively short time until there is q
general outbreak Of the affection, un-
less precautions are taken.

The Apple Market.

There has been no charge in the prize
OF apples since our laStreport. The buy
erS are holding steady at 81 25 per bar
rel ior Ben Davis, 81 80 for York Imper-
ialS, and s. Tor WineSapS. During The
past week Jennings Bros, OF Roanoke,
have bought several thousand barrels OF
apples in this section, including the fol-
lowing Geo. w. Osbourn. bout TOO
barrels; J. w. Gardner, 800 barrels; u.
B. and K. L. VanMetre, 200 barrels; J.
p. Kearfott about 800 barrels OF York
Imperials. This firm has bought in all
about eighteen orchards in Jefferson
county. Jacob S. OSbourn, who will have
from 2 500 to 1900 barrels, will probably
store his apples. c. d. WySong IS mar
keting his own crop, and has already
sold about twenty carloads in the South.
Ii is said that the apples in Jefferson
county are Of rather better size and quail
ity than those in most OF the orchards OF
Berkeley county and in the Winchester
region, the drought the past summer in
those sections having seriously affected
the crops. The buyers are declining to
bid on some orchards because OF the in
feriority OF the fruit, and great many ap-
pies will have to be sold in bulk at very
low prices.
H. E. Mundey has sold his Ben Davis
apples on the Fayman farm, north of town,
to the Rothwell Company, OF Martins
burg, al $3.50 barrel guaranteed, with
the prospect thatthe price will reach LOB.
These Bens are said TO be unusually fine.
The apples are now being picked and
packed. There will be from 300 TO 400
barrels OF fine fruit, which has been pur-
chased by the Rothwell Company for ex-
port TO South Africa.

Busy Burglars.


Every ten years or so robbers invade
Shepherdstown, and periodical visit
was made by a party OF burglars last
Thursday night, whsn several houses
were entered. They probably travelled
along the lire of the Norfolk & Western
Railroad, visiting such places as were
convenient. Some time during the night
they got into the dwelling occupied by
Id. Muldoon and his family and K. ).
M. Hoffman, entering through a back
window. They made their way 10 Mr..
Mudoon's room, where they took his
shoes and trousers, leaving the latter IN
the lower hall after they had taken the
money from the pockets, some fen or
twelve dollars. They took the shoes
along with them and also carried of his
new hat. No occupant OF the house
heard sound, and the robbery was not
discovered until next morning. The
same night DR.. M. H. Crawford heard a
suspicious noise in his home, south OF
town, and upon making an investigation
discovered man in the hall. When DR..
Crawford made after his gun the fellow
quickly got out OF the house and diSap-
pered. A couple Of rooms in the Hotel
Rumsey were also entered that night, bull
nothing of value was taken. Thursday
night thieves entered Virts's hotel at
Shenandoah Junction and tore of The
cash attachment of the telephone and
stole the money it contained. II is re-
ported that the same night attempts were
made to enter several other houses in
Shepherdstown. No clue TO the robbers
was discovered.
Last Friday evening two negroes OF bad
reputation, one named Jackson and the
other Lowry, were arrested near the N.
& w. station at Benyville, Va, and a
considerable quantity OF loot and burg
lars tools was found upon them. 1t is
believed that they were the ringleaders
OF gang OF desperadoes that have been
robbing and committing other crimes in
that neighborhood and adjacent territory,
and it is possible that they may have
been the nlarauders here. They were
Jailed to await trial.
