VIA POMARIA

At this season of the year 1 like
to get up early in the morning and
hook up III and take drive through
the country, that is if 1 have any sps-
cifc object in view. / am not much
or JOY riding, but it is nice to take a
country trip early in the morning
if you are doing something besides
just burning gasoline. Well, last
Saturday morning was one Of those
mornings when 1 felt that l had bus
iness around by Pomaria and Pros
perity, and I wanted to be home BY
10 O'Clock, so I hooked up at o'clock
and with my mascot we drove first
down to the home of Mr.. G. L. Sease,
hut we were too late for breakfast.
] had not notified them I was coming
and then l was scheduled for break
East at Pomaria. Nof, if the editor OF
she Rock Hill Herald will read this
he will rot brag so much about that
big watermelon. Mother Sease is one
OF the sweetest and best women In
this country, and Uncle Luke ls one
Of those farmers who lives at home,
and they together know how to cure
the best country hams one ever ate.
WHY, the Smithaeld hams OF Virginia
can not excel or even compare with
Sae ones you get here. Uncle Luke
seia if had come down sooner like a
seed child should have done, / could
have had an abundance Of fine peach
es ana apples, but that they were
aearly all gone. At any rate he went
out and put half bushel OF apples
in the car. And l got forty pound
ham that had been cured for two
wears and a 20 pound bucket of home
raised Lard. How does that touch

they would have to eat and the line
watermelons they would cut out IN

at Uncle John Riser's who lived close

they always had plenty of good things
to eat. And Mrs. Wedaman pat in the
car a basket Of pears and apples and
a caateloxpe. And she gave us a
sample of some home made cheese
which was fine. Just as good and
little better than the cheese you buy

that it was not much trouble to make.

! TRIP TO CAMP

A linotype machine and an autcmc-
bile have many characteristics in COM
mon. Certainly there are two. When
the machine runs good and is in good
working order there is no nicer or
prettier machine made The same is
true of an automobile. When it runs
it is beauty and moves so smooth
ly, but when it is dead it is the dead
est thing in the world. And neither
machine is to blame per se When
they get out of gear or adjustment all
that is needed is the proper adjust
ment and off they go again.

just skip it. I know it is not OF IL

find something else after their own

It is great pity, as it appears to
me, that we cannot get so important
a road as the one between Prosperity
and Newberry in better condition. Es-
pecially when so many people drive
it for pleasure and business, and It
does seem that they would be willing
to agree to put up small amount
regularly and make arrangement for
the proper upkeep of the road. But
there is little hope for anything when
a people are satisfied with what they
have and with their condition. May
he SEINE day they will awake.

There are as many types Of chicken
houses as there are of poultry raiseTs,
and but few of these houses approach
the ideal, asserts N. L. Harris, super
Intendent of the poultry plant, Kansas
Agricultural college.
"The ideal chicken house should be
at least 20 feet long and 1s feet wide"
says Mr.. Harris. 1.-THE height should
be such as will be convenient to the op-
erator-about nine feet in front and
not less than four feet at the back.
with a house Of these dimensions,
there will be no frozen combs, even in
severe winter weather. Frozen combs
usually result from keeping poultry in
small houses where gooG ventilation
is a difficult matter.
"There is no question that cement
is the best floor for poultry houses,
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-05-10
POULTRY HOUSE FINDS FAVOR IN KANSAS.

since such a floor is sanitary, 1ermln
proof, and easily cleaned"
The manner Of lighting and venti'
latipg poultry house is always i'm.
portant, in the opinion Of Mr.. Harris.
Too much glass in a poultry house
raises the temperature in the day and
permits rapid radiation at night. The
resulting wide variation Of day and
night temperatures is always Injurious
to the health of the fowls.
Probably the best means Of providing
adequate light and ventilation is to
have two windows in the south side OF
the building with a cloth curtain be-
tween. During stormy days, while the
curtain is closed the windows will pro
vide sufficient light and the curtains
will allow sufficient ventilation without
permitting drafts.
