WON'T GET DIVISION OFFICE.

News-Times Special Service:
ELKHART, Nov. 17.-An official
OF the Big -Four railroad said Fri
day that the movement of the di-
vision Offices 10 this city from Wa
bash is practically impossi bic.
However. he said plans are under
way for the moving Of the north
terminal to Elkhart which will ne
cessitate the making of the local
yards three or four times as large
as the present one. He said that
the first step toward the removal
Of the terminal was the erection OF
the big coal dock in this city which
is under way and the other might
&c moved later"
The official said that Elkhart and
Anderson were under consideration
for the division office but that he
thought the higher officials would
recommend Anderson because that
city is farther south. He also said
that the decision as where the office
will be moved Will not be decided
before Jan. 1.
The removal of the terminal would
bring many railroad crews to this
city and at least three or four miles
Of track will have to be made.

SINGLE COMB BLACK LEGHORNs

In England the Black Ieghorn
ranks highly as a utility fowl; in
America il has not been so widely
bred. OF late. however. there has
been revival of interest in this va
riety. and some fanciers are pre-
dieting a boom in Black Leghorns.
They point 10 the fact that this va
riety always presents a neat ap-
pearance, and is more attractive
than a white bird with soiled plum
age, such as is found frequently
when the birds are kept in limited
quarters
Only their color has prevented the
Black Leghorns from attaining
widespread popularity. This va
riety is supposed to be the original

The Black Leghorn has made re-
markable records in egg production,
and the eggs are larger than those
of the other Leghorns. It is spright-
ly and active, being a good forager
and profitable farm chicken. It's
plumage is of glossy. greenish black.
contrasting strongly with its white
earlobes and large red combs and
wattles.
Like all the other Leghorns, the
Blacks grow fast. They have a yell
low skin. but the dark pin feathers
show to disadvantage in the dressed
fowl
Until recently most Black Leg
horns had dark legs, but OF late
fanciers have succeeded in breeding
them. with pure yellow legs.
Like others of the same breed, the
Black Leghorns are practically non
sitters.

Several experiment stations have
carried out elaborate Investigations
in connection with the housing OF
poultry. \ great many different
types of houses have been tested,
and the results invariably show that
the highest degree of health and
productiveness obtain only when
the house is dry. well ventilated and
so constructed that the interior is
flooded with sunlight Yet il is no
trouble TO find any number of poul-
try houses that are damp, very
poorly ventilated and seldom warm

owners wonder why the flock devel-
ops colds and roup. and fails 10 lay

priced feeds will surely drive such
husbandmen out Of business. unless
they change the quarters of the lay

quirements that careful experiments
have established. on receipt OF q

ton will forward complete details
of modern poultry housing.
In addition TO the work on feed

subjects as the care and feeding OF
chicks, operation of the incubator
and brooder, how to prepare home

questions are carefully worked out

In the pre-war days il was COM
paratively easy TO make a profit
from poultry with haphazard meth

host Of poultry keepers paid little
or no attention 10 the constantly
improved methods that were being
inaugurated. As a consequence OF
this lack Of progress, in many in
stances they have been unable 70
meet the severe conditio s of high
priced feed and similar difficulties
brought about by the war. and have
been forced TO 60 out of business
These so-called failures do not
mean that poultry keeping cannot
be carried on AT a proht. but they
do indicate in a very positive man
