Nothing More Satisfying Than
Thrifty Laying Hens.
Fowls Should Be Kept Comfortable
and Fed ResularIy-keep Pure
Water Before Them Always
Clean Quarters Essential.
tBy AZ. cHANDLERJ

There Is no profit in keeping poul
try in winter without eggs, and moth
ing that brings more satisfaction, or
better returns than good, thrifty, lay
ing hens.
Some seem to have the knack OF
getting eggs in winter. while others
are forever complaining. To be sue
cessful, one must use Judgment. No
fool can succeed in this line OF busi-
ness.
Laying hens should have the best Of
attention. They should be kept COM
Portable both night and day, and fed
regularly on clean food, and pure wa
ter should be kept ever before them.
Plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and
clean quarters are absolutely neces-
sary to the production OF winter eggs.
/ Many make the mistake Of having
too many windows. The fowls gather
in the sunshine during the day and
get too warm, and consequently feel the
night chill more. There should be at
least o,,s large window on the south
side and one in the east side. but it
should be so arranged that the fowls
cannot get nearer to them than a dis
lance OF two feet at least. See to it
that there are no cracks to admit the
wind at night, but remember that a
little outside air, during the day. when
the fowls are moving about, is good
thing.
1t is an excellent thing TO have a
gate or lath door that reaches from

Influences Of the Moon. 4.

The many and erratic motions Of the
moon are so Intricate that space here
is not enough for their technical ex-
planation. The most important Of the
influences OF the moon Is in its caus-
ing the ocean tides by its powerful
magnetic attraction. and It is an in
fluence that is best understood in its
effect by the mass OF the people. The
old superstition in regard to planting
and sowing, and in doing many other
things at a certain time of the
moon." still fostered by few Of the
almanacs and believed in by many,
was long ago made obsolete by the
development of science and general in
telligence.

White People Of GarrettSburg
and Beverly Districts Ask
For Consolidated School.

The patrons of the Beverly end
Garrettsburg local districts have
petitioned the County Board Of Edu-
cation to consolidate their districts
and build one large centralized school.
This scheme would abandon the
Beverly and Garrettsburg schools.
Further more. the present Beverly
district is go large that unless the
schools are consolidated. the County
Board Of Education would be COM
PEELED to re-oistrict and build two
houses in the above mentioned dis
trict, therefore, the centralized
school would take the place of the
three one room schools.
Toe County Board of Education
has agreed to build a handsome.
modern four.room school house about
z mile north Of Howell on the Pal
myra road, provided the patrons 10
the district are willing to vote an
additional tax in the district for the
purpose of transporting the PUPILS
by means Of wagon to and from the
said school.
A committee representing the dis
trict appeared before the County
Board Of Edueation at the last meet
ing and asked tnst the Board call an
election and ask vote an q zoe tax
for the purpose Of transporting the
children snd for the purpose OF
lengthening the school term from q
six months to eight or nine months
as the patrons may desire.
The County Board of Education,
ia compliance with this request has
tosted in the shove mentioned dis
tricts the following notices OF elec

CEDAR RUST DISEASE
Trouble Is Very Abundant in
Some Eastern Sections.
Orchards in Vicinity OF Cedar Thick
cts Usually Suffer More Severely
Thar Those Which Are stu,
ated Some Distance Away.

The cedar rust OF apples Is more OF
less widespread In the eastern ana
central portions of the United States.
lt is reported from New Hampshire TO
North Carolina on the Atlantic sea
board and westward as far as Iowa
and Nebraska. The disease Is not
found except in regions where both
apples and red cedar grow. The red
cedar is very abundant In some parts
of the eastesn states. and In those sec
tions there IA great deal more of the
disease than in any stber portion. The
principal reason for this lies in the
fact, that. along with the abpdance OF
cedar trees, the large commercial ap-
pIe orchards contain many varieties
which are particularly susceptible to
the disease. Orchards in the vicinity
.oc cedar thickets have usually suf-
fered more Severely than those which
are situated at SOME distance. The
injury is more marked II the orchard
is on the leeward side OF the cedar
thickets, where the spores OF the dis
ease may be continually borne In by
prevailing winds, but all orchards OF
susceptible varieties Of apples suffer
more or less from the cedar rust. Two
years ago, the financial loss to apple
growers in the state Of Virginia alone
was estimated to be upwards of one
half million dollars, and this did not
take into account the loss due to
weakness of the trees and to impair1ng
The vitality of the fruit buds for the
following year. which would surely
diminish each succeeding crop.
The cedar trees in the vicinity OF
apple orchards develop, during rhe
winter and early spring, large nufsl

You will see how quickly the fowls
will get to the fresh air and shake out
their feathers. 1t is well to have a
good supply of fresh litter with small
grain thrown into It. at hand to- keep
them busy. There is little danger Of
their getting a chill, even on very
cold days.
One OF the most essential things [

gals contain the winter spores and
slowly mature during the warm days
of late winter and early spring. When
the weather becomes warm enough
and there is abundant moisture pres

gelatinous tendrils. So long as the
gelatinous material is damp the spores
do not escape to any extent, but, IL
bright, sunny days with brisk winds
follow, the watery tendrils are dried
and the spores are blown away from
