The roosts are placed in the back
part of the house under the roof and
are fastened to the droppings board
that is placed underneath them. The
heStS are fastened underneath the
droppings board and all the furniture
can thus be moved out together when
the chicken house is to be cleaned.
The darkness that the hens require for
laying is furnished by placing the nests
under the droppings board. The
scratching floor is at the front Of the
house so that 1t will get plenty of
sunshine.
One end of this poultry house Is
given over to a feed room where the

kept. This is q handy arrangement
and the feed does not have to be car

chicken house. 1t will be IA wise pre-
caution to place a spring on the door
between the feed room and the rest Of
the house so that there will be no
danger of the door being left open so
that the chickens can get into the feed

~ NE hundred and forty years
ago occurred the memorable
event we celebrate at this
season. There were gathered
In the old statehouse in Philadelphia
half a hundred men, determined upon
a course that was destined to affect
the history of the world. The Decla-
ration had been written. A committee
had been out all night in its prepara-
ton. Finally the door of the commit
tee room swung open. Three men APP
peared. Thomas Jefferson held the
parchment in an unsteady hand. He
advanced and spread it upon the table.
There was one questionable one ques-
ton in the minds and upon the lips
of those who waited: "Shall it be
signed or not?" Jefferson spoke q few
bold words and sat down. Adams was
on his feet in an instant. Ablaze with
the inspiration of the hour, he poured
out his whole soul. Somebody whis-
pered something about "gibbets." A
ripple of uneasiness moved through
the crowd. The speaker sensed 1t,
and instfnctively knew that the psy-
Geological moment was upon them.
Towering to his tiptoe height, he lift
ed his voice in a ringing crescendo:
"Sign that parchment! Sign, If the
next moment the gibbet's rope is
about your necks! Sign, IL the next
moment this hall rings with the clash
of falling axes! With the last sound
OF my voice, with the last gasp OF my
breath, l would implore you, men, to

of our children's children :"
Already men we're Fastening to
grasp the pen. And now the parch-
ment is signed. From yonder tower
the old bell peals forth the news.
And now, 40 years after, those tones
are echoed and re-echoed around the
world, and are known and understood

we're said to be audible after dusk.
Walking west from the village
square a short distance one comes to
old St. Peters church, the fourth
house of worship erected on, this site.
In its yard are headstones dating
back as far as 1913. Upon the tomb
stone of Philip Honeywell, who was
active during the Revolution, this in
scription vas placed:
Look on this stone and you will find
My journeys DER, and yours behind;
Think, then, before you turn away,
That yours may end before his day
This was one of the early churches
upon which Queen Anne bestowed
gifts. In her day it's chime of bells
was given 1t. The old bells have since
been melted and made into a new
one, which rings Sabbath-day pilgrims
to service as of old.
Across the street stands the parish
house. This building. says Doctor
Clendenin, the rector, was the one
used for two weeks as the colonial
capital of the state of New York when
an epidemic Of fever prompted a sud-
den move.
A few blocks farther west is the
picturesque rectory, standing quite
alone on a green knoll. It's surround
ing land was part of the ancient
glebe" given by the town in 1903.
Records state that it was found nee

and 20 acres was made up by taking

From 1888 to 1859 Westchester was
the shire town. The village was set
tied in 1912 by Throckmorton flor
whom Throg's Neck was named}, who
arrived from Massachusetts, with a
group driven thence along with Roger
Williams. They procured permission
to make their homes at Westchester,
settling 35 families there. The Dutch
had called the spot Vredeland, mean

name had something to do with at
