LkMBuTHS HAVE 1900
CHICKENS IN EAST CANON

East Canon has a real chicken
the valley at Rocky Ford and other
towns. Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Lambuth
and son Earl, have gone into the
chicken business on large scale and
recently had 1900 chickens. White
Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds, on
hand.
Just at this time they haven't got
quite that many on hand because the
demand for fries" has been unpre-
cedented and they sold all they pos
sibly could spare. They bought
about 14O0 little chicks from fam
GUS breeder at Rocky Ford and some
of these have grown to just the right
size for fries. AS it is the purpose
of the Lambuths to keep their chick
ems for laying purposes they sold of
only the young roosters.
At the present time they have 900
little chicks in the modern brooder
which they have installed and it is a
remarkable sight to see these tiny
atoms all in one bunch. The pretty
sight is the view of the hundred of
older ones walking about their pens.
They are pure white and are good to
look upon.
The Lambuths started in with
chickens on a small scale about a
year ago but found that they paid so
well that they have branched out to
large extent.
They live on pretty orchard place
that permits OF plenty of room for the
chickens and they have constructed
modern shelter houses. roosts. and
pens. Everything is clean and neat,
all of the wood construction being
white-washed.
The Lambuths started out first with
Rhode Island Reds but have now
centered their energies upon White
Leghorns because they grow to ma
turity faster and lay more proIifical-
iy on the average.
In another month about five hun
uAN0 vi ihe tuithcuS viii btdrt laying
and from then on the Lambuths will
commence to reap the fruits OF their
Investment. When they nrst started
with chickens they lost about fifty
percent before the chicks reached ma
turity- On a batch of 500 just recent
ly the loss was little less than seven
percent SO 1t is seen that they are
gaining full knowledge OF how to
raise chickens properly.
In addition to the chickens they
have q sprinkiing OF geese and ducks
and turkeys. These. however. are be-
ing raised for family use
Mr.. Lambuth is proprietor of the
East Canon Store and recently he
showed his public spiritedness by pur-
chasing gasoline pump and a long
stretch OF hose with which to sprinkle
the streets for considerable distance
about his store.
With this equipment he expects to
fight the dust nuisance this summer
and to get the best OF It II possible.
The pump is so arranged that IL can
take water from the irrigation ditch
es anywhere along the street and will
then spray the road for many feet in
each direction, making the acquisi.
tion quite an asset for this purpose.

The ncat SQUADRON y

Great Britain was the first naval
power to build the battle cruiser. Close
on her heels came Germany, Russia
and Japan; but all others, including
the United States, have no battle
cruisers in their line of battle. 1t was
in 1907 when the Indomitable, the first
one, was begun. One year later she
crossed the Atlantic at speed Of a
little more than % miles an hour. The
Inflexible and Invincible followed, and,
when the European war came, Great
Britain had q squadron that proved
of immense worth to her. In the Jut-
land battle, however three of the Brit
ish battle cruisers were sunk, shells
penetrating their armor and explOd-
ing their magazines or boilers. The
armor OF q superdreadnaught would
most probably have proved too strong
for the shells that destroyed these bat
tie cruisers. The famous Cat Squad
rom" so called because it included the
Lion and Tiger, is. today the last word
in the battle cruiser; but in a few
years the American battle cruisers
that are now being built will far out
strip the acats' in every feature

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer'S Prescrip-
ton, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
rs they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Bomb Planters.

Brooklyn.-Reports of incendiarism
In connection with a disastrous wa
terfront fire, which destroyed an ele-
vator and nearly 100000 bushels OF
grain here were revived when Fire
Chief Kenion issued statement say
ing the cause of the blaze would be
rigidly investigated. The property
loss is estimated at more than ST.
100000.
There have been Sc waterfront
fires in New York City lately, and it
is improbable that all resulted from
natural causes" the chief said.
The grain consumed was intended
for export, according to officials Of
the New York Dock company, owners
of the elevator.
Supt. Tomlins, in charge of the ele-
vator, declared the fire was caused by
an explosion inside the structure. He
said the nature of this explosion war
ranted the suspicion Of a bomb
planter being responsible. This
theory was scoffed by Fire Marshal
Brophy, who, after a preliminary in
vestigation, said he believed an ex-
plosion OF grain dust" had occurred.
Each said the cause he assigned
would account for the blowing out of
a portion of wall where the fire orig
mated. When the difficulty of COM
batting the flames became apparent,
every fire boat and every other avail
able piece of apparatus was called
into service.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular in the history of the New
York waterfront
