POULTRY POINTERS.

Never permit the hens to roost on or
over the nests, as their droppings will
foul the nesting material. This is often
the case where the nests are left uncov-
cred. Cover the nests and prevent this
condition.
Milford chronicle., 1916-10-20

Keep the fowls we'll supplied with
good, sharp grit, oyster-shell and char
coal. This is particularly essential dur
ing the winter season when the birds are
prevented from picking up sufficient grit
to grind their food. Oyster-shell aids in
making egg shells, and the charcos IS
essential to good health.
The Orpington Fowl will be the
subject for discussion next week.
Milford chronicle., 1916-10-20

Don't think you have done your duty
toward the hens by simply giving them
green food for a week or two. They re-
qulre this form of food every day, and
few days will not suffice.

CAMPAIGN FOR WHITE
WEARING APPAREL

ATLANTA, Ca, April 1S.-Dry goods
merchants in Atlanta and throughout
the Southern states may soon start a
campaign in the interest of white APP
parel. Milady will have to forego dyed
fabrics. The color famine, according
to reports received here, has reached
alarming proportions.
1t now appears that despite the best
efforts of the American dyestuff indus
try, persons generally will have to get
along with less color in wearing ap-
parel effects, while an additional de-
privation to be encountered probably
within few weeks will be the cir
cumstance that retail stores will no
longer be in position to warrant
many fabrics as dyed by wholesale and
retail dry goods men, the embargo on
German dyestuffs as result of the
European war has at last reached the
point where the ultimate consumer
will be called upon to exercise patience
Of an unusual degree with his trades
man when it comes to purchasing all
sorts Of wearing apparel, house furn-
ishings and all articles of everyday use
into which color enters.
Hats now being shown in Atlanta for
the coming season are rejecting the
color scarcity and are made in light
shades, particularly grays and natural
mixtures of furs requiring no dyes.
Soft hats which can be made in the
lighter and natural colorings will, say
Atlanta dealers, supplant very largely
the derby hat, for which back dyes are
necessary.
The ramifcation of the dyestuffs
shortage will probably be felt in the
laundries, as Atlanta laundrymen have
received advices and urging them to
exert pressure on customers to make
as wide use as possible of white goods
the next few months.

1903 YEARS OLD; WALKS
10 MILES 4 DAY

ATLANTA, Ga, April 1S.-Though
103 years old, Uncle William" Clax-
ton, of Claiborne county, Tenn, can
walk ten miles day with little fatigue,
declares an Atlanta man who has just
returned from visit to that section of
state. The aged man has never worn
a coat in summer or winter, and dur
ing his entire life has neither called a
physician nor taken any medicine.
Uncle William" resides with his
son, Albert Claxton, who is now sixty
eight years of age, at their home on
Straight creek, about six miles west of
New Tazewell. The older man was
born and reared in Claiborne county,
and has resided there throughout his
life though at present he is enjoying a
visit to relatives in Virginia
Though almost deaf, this active CEN
tenarian thoroughly enjoys a converse
ton with any of his various friends or
acquaintance when it is possible for
him to understand.

GERMANS PREPARE
TO CLEAR LINES

BERGEN-OP-ZOOM, Netherlands,
April 1S.-April 1S.-Several recent in
dications point to the fact that the
Germans in Belgium intend to entirely
clear the region Immediately next to
the frontier of its inhabitants, with a
view, presumably, to further facilitate
their strict control of the Dutch bound
airy They have already evacuated the
strip of country situated between their
two barbed-wire fences in a part of
Flanders, and the arrival here of many
refugees from the Belgian village of
Putte (situated ust North of Antwerp
strengthens the view generally held in
the frontier districts that the people
who have so far stuck to their homes
IN the rest of this zone will, in due
course, suffer the same fate.
The latest lot of fugitives, men, wo-
men and children, fed through the
barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT of the first
German barrier in order to escape the
ever bitterer want reigning in their
village. 1t was sad sight, these pen
niless and homeless people who arriv-
ed in the market square in their wag-
ons, there to apply to the Dutch police
for temporary shelter and for a
ticket enabling them to proceed to
one of the Belgian refugee camps in
this country. The immediate reason
for their expatriation was that for a
fortnight past the Germans have re-
fused to allow any further food to be
brought to this region prisoned be-
tween their two formidable barbed-
wire fences, while from the Dutch side
practically nothing could reach the
villagers.

TICK ERADICATION DAY
IN PUBLIC SCHOOL,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
Tick Eradication Day will be celebrat-
ed in all the public schools of Louis
lana on Thursday, April Goth. Gov
ernor Hall has issued proclamation
naming this day for the celebration
ard the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation has directed that every teacher
devote one hour on that day to explain
ing the subject of tick eradication to the
pupils in his class. For the informa-
ton Of the teachers the State Sanitary
Live Stock Board has issued 10000
circulars which the Superintendent of
Education is distributing. In these cir
cllars IL brief reasons are given why
louisiana should eradicate ticks with
out delay. 1t is estimated that in this
away about 100000 school children will
plearn something of the importance of
getting rid of the tick.
The celebration of Tick Eradication
Day, it is believed, will do much to aid
the campaign which is already in full
swing throughput the state. Systemat-
il DINING has haan SatiSfa ntoriIv STA rt
ed in number of parishes, one of the
latest to begin the work being Tang
ipahoa Parish. In large number of
other parishes, preliminary work is in
progress and it is believed that the
road will be opened for the systematic
work in them next year.

that he may unselfishly and patriot
ically direct the organization of and
cooperation among the farming inter-

The main purpose of the National
Chamber of Agriculture is to produce
better economic conditions for the
farmers. Among the important ques-
tons that will be taken up Immediately
are those of rural credits, improve.

Of farm products, agricultural educa

now practically waste, so far as agri-
culture is concerned. 1t is Senator
Fletcher's intention to secure the en-
actment of Senate Joint Resolution
providing for the federal organization
of the new body.
It is the aim to bring the standard Of
agricultural organization to a par with
that existing in many European coun-
tries. There will be an enactment Of
federal law, providing for system Of
rural credits, and special effort will be
made to bring the producer Of farm
products and the consumer of farm
products closer together.

conditions in America.
The appointment of the chairman OF
the National Chamber of Agriculture
Commission has been under consider

Wise Cat Is
Mrs. Glovers

ATLANTA, Ga, April 1S.-For ami
mails that are wise, wonderful and
weird in their, manner of life and be-
havior, black tabby cat belonging to
Mrs. M. A. Glover probably holds the
unchallenged palm. This common
black house cat has so far progressed
in her understanding of the ways of
folks that she has learned to ring
the front door bell and at any hour Of
the night is liable to come in from a
feline concert, given on back fence
and ring for admission. If there is not
response to her first ring she reaches
up one black front paw, pushes the
bell until some member OF the house
hold answers and lets her in. This
she has done not once or twice but
hundreds of times.
The cat is coal black without one
white spot to relieve the blackness OF
glossy coat and has the yellow eyes
common to the average inky blackcat
The taby is the mother of frolicsome
healthy kitten that is expected to de-
velop eventually the high order of in.
telligence that characterizes her moth.
