CLAIMS HIGHHONOR'
Lovers Of Old YeOCOmlCo Church
Claim Washington Was
ChriStened There.

n N ANY residents OF Westmore-
M land county, Virginia, who
wi are descended from colonial
families, assert that Wash
ington was christened in old Yeocom-
leo church. one of the quaintest and
most interesting of the old churches
Of America. They have no record evil
dence to offer in support Of their con-
tention, for the registers Of the parish
during the colonial period we're de-
stroyed in the Revolutionary war, and
for proof of the great honor claimed
for that church they can only point to
a local tradition that he was chris
tened in "old Yeocomico" and to an
ancient letter bearing on the subject.
However, traditions, or at least those
of Virginia, are not to be brushed
lightly aside, and In the absence of
authentic record evidence are at least
worthy of consideration in arriving
at conclusion as to any doubtful
matter OF history.
Old Yeocomico church, a quaint
relic OF colonial Virginia, is built in
the form of a cross or hexagon. ITS
solid walls have weathered the storms
of two centuries, and it has suffered
the devastation of three wars. 1t was
a favorite camping place of soldiers
OF the Revolution, of the War Of 1912.

SUFFERING AT VALLEY FORGE
General Washington and His Little
Army Eneamped There One Hun
dred and Thirty-Nlne Years Ago.

General Howe, having sailed forth
from Philadelphia, where he had es.
tablished his headquarters, several
times during the early part Of Decem-
Der to give battle to General Washing
ton, but finding the latters forces
were too formidable, Howe finally de-
cided to 60 into winter quarters in
Philadelphia on December 8, and
Washington, seeing that the campaign
on the part of Howe would hardly be
resumed before spring, and not hav-
ing an army formidable enough for at
tack, decided to go into winter quar-
tiers himself. He selected Valley
Forge, about thirty miles northwest Of
Philadelphia. Washington and his
army arrived there on December IL,
TIT, and at once began the erection
of huts. They were arranged in
streets. giving the place the appear
ance of q city.
Although the winter was intensely
cold, the men were Obliged to work
at the buildings, with nothing to sup
port life but flour mixed with water,
which they baked into cakes at the
open fires. The horses died Of star.
vation by the hundreds, and the men
were obliged to haul their provisions
and flrewood. Sickness spread rapid

Lafayette in after years, were in
want OF everything; they had neither
coats, hats, shirts nor shoes; their
feet and their legs froze until they be-
came black. and amputation was fire.

It was when the army at Valley
Forge was at Its worst condition Bar

officer. arrived in this country, and

poultry from poultry books and papers
written by those who are advertising
some special breed of poultry or
have for sale some special poultry
food or have on hand some other ak
to grind. a
Because OF this the profits are fig
ured, too high for ordinary poultry
keepers to reach. OF course 1t is not
to be denied that in some cases the
profit from one hen for year may be
three dollars. l have made it myself,
but commonly it is apt to be nearer
one Collar.
A person starting in the poultry busi-
ness with the larger profits in mind
will not so closely watch the expenses
and this must be carefully looked
after to make success, In this as
In any other business.
The profit is always greater pro.
portionately from a small flock of
hens than from a large one. There
are several reasons for this. The
smaller focks have better chance on
the range, are sure not to be over
crowded and there are so few OF them
that the table scraps which they usu.
ally get will do them some good and
they individually receive more atten.
ton in every way.
Not knowing these things, begin
ner thinks ii he can make a profit Of
say 50 hen from a flock of 20 hens,
making q total profit OF $40, then he
can make $1,000 from flock of 500
hens, but he will find this quite a diff
ferent proposition.
Usually the first thing he does when
he increases his flock is to overcrowd
the fowls. Then he will get but few
eggs while the cost of keeping each
hen is as much as though she laid
an egg every day. Besides this, the
fowls soon get sick when they are
crowded and then there is loss to
go on the debit side OF their account.
Another mistake is In thinking that
anyone without any knowledge of the
work can give the hens the proper
care ana that dill there is to do is to

CORN SUCKERS A HINDRANCE?
Leaves Seem to Perform Useful Office
In Absorbing Nutrltive Elements
From Atmosphere.

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks, which grow from an ear-bear.
ing stalk Of corn, are hindrance to
the best growth of the latter; and
valuable hours are sometimes spent
in removing them. But. according to
Wallace's Farmer, actual experiments
during two successive years, on Ne.
braska farms, demonstrated that corn
with the suckers left undisturbed
outyielded that from which the suck.
ers had been removed. Their leaves,
like the others, would seem to per,
form useful Office in absorbing nu.
tritive elements from the atmosphere,

used the marble font as a horse
trough, and also as a punch bowl and
the communion table as a butchers
block.
II is described in detail by Bishop
Meade in his "Old Churches and Fam
lilies OF Virginia" This quaint. peace
full country church is situated in a
grove of fine old oak trees near Yeo-
comico creek, an estuary of the lower
Potomac river. While only a few
miles from the river, the church is a
great many miles distant from a rail-
road and is far from a town or vii
lage. AS consequence Of its COM
parative inaccessibility but few Wis
itors from the outside world cross its
historic portals
In part of the wall of the church are
the initials "R. L." and figures "1706."
evidently referring to Richard Lee,
whose wealth contributed to the cree
ton OF the church. Other curious
symbols appear on the exterior of
this venerable place of worship. These
objects, together with the beautiful
marble font still used for christening
embryo Washingtons. the quaint win
dows and communion table, the sun
dial bearing date of 1717, the old iron
Upper in the nearby spring, and the
gallery for slaves and carriage driv.
ers are intensely interesting. All
three quaint and curious objects and
many others not mentioned, apart
from the tradition that George Wash
ington was christened within the walls
OF "Old Yeocomico." make this one OF
the most noteworthy Of the old
churches of America.

the service, Just as In the days before

Except for a period following the
disestablishment Of the Church OF Eng.

Yeocomico church has been in con
tinuous use since 1706 By the Episco-
palians as a place of worship. For

church was used by other sects, dur
