Secret Of Poultry Success.

A farm woman recently gave
me the secret of her success with
poultry by saying that she car
ried the key to the granary, says
one of the farm advisers of the
Department of Agriculture. Be-
fore she got a key of her own the
hens did not pay.
IF more farm women had q
key to the granary, more farm
fiocks would be profitable" says
the farm advisor. Lack OF feed
is more responsible for poor lay
ing than all else. With all the
grain the fowls can eat twice a
day, and a box with dry mix
ture of dried beef scrap or tank
age and wheat bran in equal
parts, placed where the fowls
can always help themselves, farm
flocks pay a profit regardless Of
breed or variety.
Let the birds run out every
day if they care to 90 out. Shut
in one day and let out the next
is bad practice. Birds soon learn
to stay in when they should be in
even when the door is open."

We had a very agreeable call
from our friend Ed Buckley on
Tuesday. He is visiting his faith
er Hon. S. L. Buckley at Fort
Littleton, and his father-in-law,
Geo. w. Doran at Burnt Cabins.
A few years ago he went to Col
orado. hit a town that had just
begun to sprout nicely, went in
to the mercantile business, and,
both the town and his business
have developed at a rate that on
ly western people know anything
about. Ed is a good fellow, and
is deserving of his full share Of
success.
The first serious accident to oc-
cur at the Mount Union powder
works happened one day last
week when some unfinished pow
der caught fire and consumed an
important building. causing a
loss of about $4,000. No lives
were lost.

The Los Angeles Times Midwiuter
Number.

There is no more noted news
paper annual than the Midwinter
Number of The Los Angeles
Times, whose joyous issue for
1916 is just at hand. Southern
California has so many unique
fascinations that a newspaper
which reflects them is in a class
by itself, and the "'Midwinter"
is so classified by everyone who
sees it. 1t is made up of five
beautiful magazines in addition
to the usual news sheets. Five
magazines of thirty-two pages
each, with art covers, all printed
on fine book paper in bright COL
ors. The art work is surpass-
ingly fine and the text is illumi-
mating. One can visualize the
charms of the Southwest by look
ing through this pleasing publi-
cation. 1t tells one everything
he wants to know about the re-
sources, prosperity and delights
of the Southland-the climate.
the crops, the industries, the
habits of life and cost of living,
the pecularities of each town and
county, the financial conditions
and business prospects, tourist
accommodations and openings for
settlers. 1t is truthful and sincere
as well as dressed in beautiful
garb. Gen. Otis does his State
great service in issuing such a
noble annual.

Promptly At ten O'Clock Tues
day morning Donald P. McPher-
son, the newly elected President
Judge of this Judicial district and
successor to S. Mac Swope, took
his seat upon the Bench of the
Courts of Fulton County, at once
found his bearings, and sailed in
to business with all the ease and
confidence of a past master.
After spending a few minutes in
disposing of the usual grist of
current business, the matter of
applications for license to sell in
toxicating liquors was taken up.
There were four of them: Brod-
beck, Burnt Cabins; Witzel, Fort
Littleton; Hamil, Ehalt and Har-
ris, McConnellsburg. These ap-
plications were taken up seriatim,
beginning with Brodbeck. Re-
monstrances were prese n t ed
against the granting of licenses
in each case, the remonstrants
being represented by John P.
Sipes, Esq. and the applicants
by M. R. Shaffner, F. P. Lynch,
and Chas. Walters, of Chambers
burg. Witnesses were called pro
and con, and the time of the
Court taken up until the close of
the afternoon session. Not for a
long time has so much popular
interest been shown in a matter
in court-the court room being
crowded all day. At $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning, the Court
granted licenses to Brodbeck; to
Hamil, City Hotel; and Ehalt,
Fulton House, the two last named
being in McConnellsburg, and re-
fused Witzel and Harris. The
proceedings in Orphans Court
will be given next week.

N. Duvall and his son William
were on their way to the Reich
ley lumber camp, they discovered
a bright looking object in the
road that proved to be a garter
snake. The snake was alive but
not lively, for there was some
ice and snow in the road to chill
it. 1t had no tag or owners iden
tification marks, but if any one
wants it, he will find it at Min

society of the Presbyterian
Church at Burnt Cabins, held
banquet at the home of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Geo. S. Doran on Saturda,
evening, January l, 1916.
At 8 o'clock, the hostesses with
their guests, assembled in the
dining roop where the they
found a most inviting table
awaiting them. The eight cours.
es were well sandwiched with
music and toasts. Rev. Warren
j. Kaufman, toastmaster be-
lieving it to be proper for the
ladies to hear some laudable COM
ments upon themselves, called
on several Of the young men to
respond to the toast "A Real
Lady" The toasters, however,
didn't fail to take advantage of
the occasion to turn the tables
upon the toastmaster and some of
the younger couples. The entire
evening seemed to be in harmo-
ny with the proverb Eat, drink
(water and Coffee and be mer-
ry." And should all those pres
ent not have had this proverb in
mind, they did at the tables, at
least, give vivid illustration of
