Escapes Death
In $50 Foot Fall
CBy Associated Press9

p Philadelphia, Aug. 1S.-Andrew
Lashinsky, a rigger working on the
roof of Philadelphia's big city hall
escaped death yesterday by an almost
miraculous circumstance. A scaffold
on which he was working $50 feet
from the ground broke and he fell,
his feet dangling outward. Sixty
feet down a single one inch rope
from another scaffold hung like a
hangman's moose. One Of Lashinsky's
legs went into it and drew the moose
tight. His fall was stopped with a
jerk and he hund head downward
swinging in space. Workmen pulled
him to safety.

WINTER REVENUE FROM HENS
First Essential is Proper Quarters for
Fowls-Dry Leaves Make Ideal
Scratching Material.

A scarcity of eggs in winter is loss
chat every true poultry keeper tries
to avoid. Being the only source Of
revenue expected from the flock at
this time of the year, everyone is
anxious to have a goodly supply, and
with proper care and feed, satisfac-
tory results can reasonably be ex-
pected.
Proper quarters in which to house
the hens is the first and foremost
necessary essential. The house should
be kept clear of dirt and rubbish. and
the nests sweet and clean. A cold
dry hen house provided it is free from
dafts, is to be preferred to damp,
warm one, as the latter is sure to bring
disease to your flock.
In the dust bath-which must al
ways be provided in winter-should be
mixed reliable louise powder. to keep

hens free from vermin. A louse-in-
tested fowl positively won't lay and
is losing proposition, always.
Make the hens work for every single
bit of food they get in winter, it will
prevent them becoming too fat and
preventing a chilled and shivering
fowl.
Hot food in winter is imperative;
every morning and night it should be
fed piping hot. In the morning feed
dry mash, made by boiling small pota-
toes, beets, turnips, vegetable parings
and the like, thickened with bran or
other middlings. This mash should
be fed in clean troughs, placed high
enough to make the hens hustle to
reach them. Hens delight to scratch
in litter of dry leaves and it makes
the most ideal scratch-material. Small
grain generously scattered in deep
litter of leaves will keep the flock hap
PLY busy and contented the whole day
through.
For the last feed In the day corn is
the most satisfactory, imparting the
heat so necessary for the well-being
of the fowl during the cold, bitter
winter nights. The best way to feed
corn is to place it in the oven on the
cob and leave it until it is baked u
nice delicate brown. The savory odor
of baked corn is very appetizing, and
when the ears are cut up in short
lengths and fed thus to the fowls IL
will keep them busy to pick up the
grains.
Water must be provided in abund-
ance. OF course, it Is difficult
matter to keep water before the hens
in zero weather, when it freezes al
most as soon as it is put out, but you
must provide it often enough to insure
each foul getting it's full share.
