FATTENING CRATES TO FINISH CHICKENS

The best way to finish chickens Is
by crate fattening. Only strong, Wig
orous chickens that have obtained their
growth should be put in the crates
Birds weighing from four to SIX
pounds are best. The object Of crate
fattening is to plump out the breast
and body so that the bird Will have
an attractive appearance when dressed.
Cockegels should be crate fed from
two to three weeks. AS soon as they
lose their keen appetites they should
be taken out and killed. Good cocker
els that weigh four pounds when put
In the crates should gain one pound
per bird in two weeks feeding
Construction Of Crates.
Fattening crates are usually made
feet 6 inches long, 20 inches high and
10 inches wide. The crate Is divided
into three compartments, each holding
from four to five birds, according to
the size of the chickens. The crate Is
made Of Stats, except the ends and

the feeding is done. Regular and jul
dicious feeding must be followed
throughout the whole fattening period.
Starve the birds the first "a hours.
Then feed sparingly, never all the birds
will eat, the first week. Feed twice a
day, II hours apart. The chickens eat
as well by lantern light as in the day.
The second week feed all the birds will
eat up clean. Food should never be
left before the birds longer than ten
minutes. This is very important. Re-
move all food not eaten up readily, or
the chickens will go off their feed. The
crates should be in secluded spot,
away from other chickens. The birds
must be busted with sulphur or insect
powder when put in the crates to keep
the lice in check. If the sulphur is
used too freely it produces q scaly
appearance on the birds when dressed.

ANELECTRICAL MARVEL
Oreadnaught California viii Be
Wonderful Ship.
Vessel Also to Be as Near lmpreguable
to Mine and Torpedo Attacks as
1t Is Possible for Science to
Make It.

Besides being an electrical marvel,
the new superintendent California,
which Uncle Sam will build at Mare
Island navy yard, will be as near i'm
pregnable to mine and torpedo attacks
as it is possible to make n modern war
ship. The armor and other protection
against these weapons have been
worked out in careful study of naval
engagements in the present European
war.
For some time before the plans for
the California were made the navy de-
partment experts satisfied themselves
by exhaustive tests that vessels of the
proposed construction could not be
sunk either by striking mine or tor
pedo attack. 1t is understood that the
construction of the bulkheads by an
laproved method is mainly relied upon
10 iaaSe the vessel impervious TO tor
pe0o and mine destruction. They are
to be of stnel, but will not be rigid as
is the case IN other ships. Also resist
ance has been increased % to 80 per
| cent
The main engines will be electric,
the electric generators being driven by
steam turbines of $4,000 horse power,
the steam supplied by oil-burning
water-tube boilers. Not only the type
Of the machinery installation but its
arrangementsis said to be entirely diff
ferent from any ever adopted for any
previous warship.
The use of electricity throughout the
vessel will be most extended. In addi-
ton to the main propelling engines of
the ship, the handling of the ammuni-
ton and firing of the guns Will be
done by electricity, boats will be
hoisted in and out. anchors raised, the
vessel steered, and ventilating blowers
operated by electricity.
Other minor uses employing cleo
tricity will be potato peeling, which is
performed in Il separate compartment
the machine having a capacity of LOCO
pounds per hour; ice cream freezing
complete laundry installation, printing
machinery, food aud meat grinder
kitchen and cake machine of 60-quari
capacity, dough mixer of two barrels
per hour, and dishwashing machine
that Will handle 1000 dishes per hour.
The California will have length o.
GA feet, displacement $4,000 tons, +,
speed of 81 knots, and o fuel oil Gu
pacity Of 1000 tons. Her armamen
will consist Of II finch guns, 4 sub

ground, with the hulls sifted out,
should form the greater part of any
iattening ration. All the grain fed
should be finely ground as whole
grain requires too much energy to di-
gest and the chickens are likely to get
sick when placed in close confinement
on whole grain. Some grit and char
coal should be fed TO the chickens at
least once week. A very good COM
bination is as follows:
Two parts Underground oats.
Two parts finely ground buckwheat.
Two parts finely ground oats.
Add sufficient sour skim milk to
make batter, just so it will pour.
Mix food u to "a hours before feed
ing. Feed night and morning. Bar
ley meal may be substituted for the
corn. These grains produce u firm,
white flesh of superior quality.

Declare Brass Buttons
Make Better Soldiers

That fine feathers make fine
birds is accepted as an unques-
tionable truth by the leading
military authorities, who are urg-
ing a more extensive use of the
blue uniform.
Major General Bell. United
States army, recently pointed
out the United States marines as
examples of his belief that an
attractive uniform inspires a
soldier to live up to soldiers
ideals.
Though the drab and khaki
will still be used as a field uni
form. the smartness of the blue
uniform, with it's shining brass
buttons, worn by the marines at
sea and ashore, have a marked
effect on the efficiency of those
troops" say the marine officers.

CARING FOR WATER VESSELS
When Disease of Any Kind Appears In
Flock, Pay Particular Attention
to Drink Dishes.

If any diseases of the head or throat
appear in the flock, even colds, be sure
that the drink dishes are disinfected
every day (scaIding with boiling water
will do) and keep a slight film of kero-
sene on the drinking water while the
troubles last.
This will help to prevent the spread

Palmer stated that citations had not
been served on the executor and he
would like TO have the case disposed of.
Judge Lippincott said he desired to
hear from James Mercer Davis. who re-
presents the other side and ascertain
his position.
Mr.. Palmer replied that ample time
had been given Mr.. Davis to do every
thing that was required of him. Hav-
ing failed to do anything in the case it
did not look as if he was entitled to
any consideration, but the court decid-
ed to wait until Mr.. Davis could be

There was one criminal case that

away with the horses. 1t was found
afterward that he did not have any
money in the bank.
Poulson said he did not tell Garwood
ne had the money in bank, but. that
he expected to have it. He said he
was going to sell the horses and then
put the cash in to meet the check. A
man named Leander Mullen seemed
TO have been mixed up in the trans
action.
Mr.. Garwood took the stand and told
OF the sale. Poulson settled with the
clerk of the sale, but he told Garwood
he had $4,000 in bank and showed him

Robert F. Engle, of Beach Haven,
has been appointed member OF the
Board of Commerce and Navigation.
The name OF r. Howard Aaronson,
of Bordentown, was sent to the Senate,
on Tuesday, to be the Democratic
member Of the Burlington County
Board OF Taxation. to succeed William
F. Morgan.
The subject of a successor to William
ii. Absalom, as secretary to the County
Board Of Taxation is being discussed
in some circles. AS there will be a
Republican majority in the Board af-
ter the first of May-in fact there is
one now. but the organization does
not occur until that date-it is not
likely that Mr.. Absalom will be con-
tinued. John B. Tilton, of New Han
over. is likely to be his successor.
The contest over appointments to

In behalf Of the teachers and pupils
of Burlington county. would like to
state that the week beginning March
18th is to be known, in the State of
New Jersey, as Go-To-School Week.
The object of this week is to have as
many people as possible visit the pub
lie schools. SO that all may actually
know the condition of the schools and
what the teachers and pupils are doing.
1t is urged that every parent try to
visit the school during the week of
March 18th. 1t often has been said
that 1.-THE greatest enterprise is the one
that the public knows the least about. I"
What enterprise is there greater than
that of educating our own boys and
girls i extend to you, on behalf
of the teachers of Burlington county,
a most cordial invitation to visit our
schools.

Board Of Education.

The terms of Miss Mary w. Budd
Mrs. William B. Tomlinson, and
William w. Worrell and William A,
Slaughter as members Of the North
ampton Board of Education will ex-
pire this month and the election to
choose their successors will be held On
Tuesday evening. March Goth instant.
The last three named declined again to
be candidates, but Miss Budd is will
ing to occupy the position she
has SO acceptably filled in past years,
and that feeling should be sufficient
for retaining her on the Board.
The new candidates who have SO far
announced themselves are Mrs. Will
lam Sherman, Morris K. Perinchief
and Joseph G. Kingdom. Having wo-
men members on the Board has prov
en- very satisfactory and Mrs. Sherman
has been asked to give her time to the
work. She is highly capable woman
and will be valuable acquisition to
the present membership. There ought
not to be any opposition to her election.
Mr.. Perinchief has been asked at
previous elections to allow his name to
be used but he has declined. He re-
Allies that much time is required to at
tend to the duties but he also feels that
the Office Of member of the Board OF
Education is one OF the most important
in the township and one to which citi-
zens should be willing to give portion
Of their time. Mr.. Perinchief will un-
doubleday make a good member If
elected. The second man named
above is sufficiently known net to
have any especial mention of him or
his willingness to work for the school
set forth here. Suffice to say that if
the people feel like returning him to
the position he has once before held he
will give very careful attention to all
matters connected with the school
business.
