Mr.. Woods Speaks in shepherdstown

Mr.. Woods Speaks in Shepherds town.
Hon. Sam V. Woods, OF Philippi, DEM
ocratic candidate for Congress at the
special election 10 be held May 9th, was
in Shepherdstown Tuesday, and after re-
newing acquaintance with old friends here
and meeting the voters generally. made a
speech in the firemen'S hall TO a large
audience. II was just such a speech as
was to be expected from wise and
conservative man. Mr.. Woods gave a
sketch OF the great war in Europe and OF
the trouble in Mexico, and told OF the
manner in which President Wilson and
the administration are meeting and solving
the tremendous problems that confront
the American people. He said that there
is but one issue in the present brief CAM
paign, and that is, Shall the Presidents
hands be upheld or shall he be deserted
and condemned in this great crisis ? He
asked the voters 10 support the Demo-
cratic candidate if they believed that the
President is right in his efforts 10 main
tain peace and keep Our nation out OF the
dreadful turmoil OF war If they desired
to oppose these efforts, then il was their
privilege to vote for the Republican can
didate, who would undoubtedly be in
opposition to the present conditions. Mr..
Woods was clear and logical and con-
vincing, and his speech was acceptable
to Democrats and unobjectionable TO Re-
publicans, for his argument was on a
plane high above partlsanship. We think
that all who heard him were entirely sat-
isfied that he is a safe man TO send to
Congress.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Woods ad-
dress brief but pleasing speech was
made by Hon. H. q. Hump, State Sen
ator from this district, who seeks renom-
ination at the June primaries. Hon. VIM.
]. Knott was chairman Of the meeting and
introduced the speakers in eloquent terms

To obtain good results from flock
of poultry during the winter all
houses and coops should be put in
good condition, only healthy fowls
placed in the buildings, and good care
given to the poultry. The houses
should be thoroughly cleaned, disin-
fected and made tight for winter. If
the house has a dirt floor, it is we'll
to remove three or four inches from
the top and substitute fresh gravel or
sand. If the floor is cement or wood,
remove all litter and dirt and put in
four or i've inches Of fresh straw or
litter. Be sure that the house is
tight on three sides and that there is
no chance for draft to strike the
hens. IF hens roost OR are placed in
q draft during the fall and winter,
colds are sure to develop, which nay
result in roup and other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control, 50
that the openings may be closed
gradually as the weather becomes
cold. Have. muslin curtains in the
front Of the house, or leave a window
partly open even on the coldest nights
to allow some ventilation in the house
Fowls will stand considerable cold all
provided it is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house.
The pullets should be brought In
off the range and put in winter quar-
ters, but before they are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded or that the web CT the
foot is punched in some way 50 as tt

good results, but the birds should al
ways be eager for each feed. In cold
weather feed about one-third of the
scratch grains in the morning and
two-thirds at night. In this way the
hens are forced to exercise more than
if they receive all the grain they de-
sire at the morning feed. Scratch
protein, green feed, grit and shell
should be supplied in the winter. A
good scratch mixture may be made
of equal parts, by weight, of cracked
corn, wheat and oats and a mash
may be made of two parts corn meal
wheat middlings and beef scrap.
Green feed, such as cabbages, mangeI
wurzel, beets, cut alfalfa or sprouted
oats, should be supplied to replace
the green feed which the fowls have
been securing in the fields; and beef

bugs which the fowls have been get

month during the winter. Have a
good supply of sand or dry dirt on

during the winter.
