Oil and Gas.

The weekend OF development work
In the Eastern fields differed very little
from that at the close of the preceding
week. Fewer wells were completed.
and the average size was uncomtorl'
ably small. Those who were expecting
an advance in the credit balance mar
ket were disappointed, for 1t remained
at $2.35, Notwithstanding the market
for Midd1e-West crude was advanced
10 cents a barrel. Producers and oper'
ators are hopeful and insist that the
field conditions are all in favor Of an
advance. Operations are increasing,
but the territory is OF such nature that
the amount Of new production must
necessarily be small. There will have
to be a decided Improvement In field
work to come near supplying enough
high-grade crude to meet the demand.
Operators are as much in the dark as
to where it Is to come from as at any
time in the past four years.
There is about as much interest cen.
tered in the test wells now drilling and
starting as in the late compilations.
The latter, are all located in old terri
tory and generally small bumpers.
In Central district, Doddrldge coun.
ty, West Virginia, the Hope Natural
Gas Company has now completed its
No. on the ]. |. Hi1ey farm, and tbs
good for 20 barrels day in the Big
Injun sand. The average size OF the
wells in Doddridge county Is little
larger than in any other county.
The Philadelphia Company's test on
the A. H. kemper farm, located on
Freeman's creek, Freeman's Creek dis.
trict, Lewis county, has been drilled
through all sands and is duster. On
Sycamore Lick run. Hackers Creek
district. the West Virginia Central Gas
Company has completed a second test
on the E. T. jackson farm, and it Is a
gasser. On the same stream and In
the same district, the same company
has the rig completed for a second test
on the Porter Maxwey farm.
In Ten Mile district, Harrison coun'
ty, T. H. Williams & Co. have complet'
ed and shot their No. on the D. ].
Brake farm in the Gordon sand, and 1t
is not good for more than five barrels
a day. Operations in Harrison county
are increasing, and a good part of it is
testing territory in the vicinity OF some
OF the old developments.
There Is quite good deal Of expert.

American amateur gardeners have

number Of newer types Of roses, and
the skill and industry Of native hybri-
dizers have not sufficed to fill the gaps
made by the lack of international CO.

that the rose festival of Paris in the
Bagatelle Garden will provide a means
of testing the new American varieties

products as well as those of foreign
countries.
Robert Pyle of West Grove, Pa, has
been chosen as one of the delegates to
Paris next June. as the representative of

chicken boarding houses, where fowls
are cared for at a regular rate. The
usual price for boarding hen Is 81 per
season, and this includes feeding and
keeping in well warmed and we'll
lighted coop. The eggs laid during the
winter go to the landlord. AS soon as
the warm weather comes on the owner
takes back his chickens and is thus able
to raise broilers and pullets and at the
same time have plenty of eggs.
Another interesting feature is chick
en-killing time. This corresponds some
what with hog-killing time in the
states. When the weather gets cold 1t
stays cold all winter. The thermometer
goes down to below zero and the whole
country is a cold storage plant until
spring. This makes 1t so that meat can
be kept in frozen state throughout
the winter. Each householder having
decided how many chickens she will
put out to board, kills the balance. She
cleans and dresses them and hangs
them out of doors or in an unheated
building. They freeze solid the first
night and can then be laid away in a
cold place and be brought in to be eaten
as needed.
In Dawson a butcher told me how
they managed to have fresh meat all
winter long. Said he:
I'VE bring our beef and mutton in on
the hoof before navigation closes. and
keep them until about the middle of
October. after which time we are sure
of steady cold until spring. We then
kill and dress them and hang them up
out of doors Just as you hang up beeves
in a cold storage plant. We then lay
them away and thaw them out as the
and moose the same way. Last year
ono of the butchers froze a caribou
with the skin and horns on, and just
as 1t looked when alive. He stood the
