great Importance, and should be care
fully considered. for on it depends to
a large extent not only the general
health of the birds, but also the econ
omy which promotes success. 1t is a
subject, however, which should be
studied with a large amount of COM
mon sense, for there are no hard and
fast rules which can be laid down as
applying to every case. The price of
feeds and the general environment
should be considered in determining
the right rations.
Profit In Winter Eggs.
For the largest profit a good proper
ton Of the eggs should be secured dur.
ing the winter. If two extra eggs per
week a be obtained from each hen
a good profit will be made, while IL
the product is increased by only one
egg per week In winter, this one egg
Will pay for all the feed the hen eats.
To obtain this greater production not
only should the fowls be young and
of a good laying breed, but the feeder
should have a full knowledge of the
proper feed and Its preparation.
The nutriment in the feed Of laying
hens serves a twofold purpose-to re-
pair waste and furnish heat to the
body and to supply the egg-making ma
terials. AS only the surplus over what
is needed for the body is available for
egg production. the proper feeds should
be fed in sufficient Quantities to induce
this production.
In supplying feed to fowls there are
three kinds of constituents which
should be present In certain fairly
well fixed proportions If the desired re-
suits are to be obtained most econom-
fcally. These constituents are min
eral. heterogeneous and carbonaceous, all
Of which are contained In corn, wheat,
oats and barley, but not in the right
proportions to give the greatest egg
yield. In addition some animal feed
green feed should be supplied.

KEEP ALL EARLY
MATCHED LAYERS
Well Developed PuIIets Should
Be Selected for Producing
Eggs During Winter.
HANDLE ALL FOWLS GENTLY
Much Depends on Method of Changing
From Summer Quarters-speeiai
Attention Should Be Given to
Making Hens Comfortable.

Pullets that were Matched early last
spring and developed properly during
the summer should begin laying in Oc-
tober. These r the pullets that
should be selected now to make up
the flock that is to produce eggs next
winter. Whether they continue to lay
next q when eggs are high in
price depends upon the way they are
fed and the method of changing them
from summer conditions to their win
ter quarters. At this season these
r the questions that should receive
the attention of every poultry raiser.
1t Is desirable that pullets be in the
houses they r to occupy during the
winter three or Jour weeks before they
are expected to begin laying. How
ever If pulIets are on good range they
should not be deprived of this. and
may be removed to their winter quar-
tiers when good range becomes scarce.
The change should then be made gen.
tly and carefully, and special attention
given to making the hens comfortable
and contented In their new home. II
this Is done the transfer will have only
a slight effect on their egg production.
Give PuIIets Good Start.
Gentle handling and good treatment
will go a long way toward offsetting
the unfavorable effects Of moving pull
lets, whether the change to permanent
winter quarters is made before or after
winter laying begins. Rapid and rough
handling should be avoided. A little
extra time and al In moving pullets
carefully makes a difference of weeks,
and sometimes months, In egg produc-
ton. The new home should be clean,
and feeding and water equipment
ready for use. A feed Of grain should
be scattered In the litter and a drink
ing vessel filed with water before the
transfer is made.
When hens are to be changed from
one house to another It is best to move
them after dark. II only a few birds
are to be removed and the distance is
short, they may be carried two at a
time, not by the feet, with their heads
banging down. but resting In a sitting
position ON the attendants hand and
wrist. When a large number Of birds

or coop may be used. The birds should
not be overcrowded and should be
placed in and removed from the box
gently.
Laying hens should get a great part
Of their feed by foraging. When
housed In winter quarters the best sub
stitute for this is to make them scratch
for the grain in clean litter scattered
about the floor. The hens will thus
get the necessary exercise which is
essential for good egg production. If
hens are placed in winter quarters
from free range they should be liber-
ally supplied with vegetable feed,
which at this time can be easily OBJ
tained from the garden. In fact, lay
ing hens should have vegetable or
green feeds as much as possible
throughout the winter. This makes II
possible to feed grain heavily to pro-
mote good egg production and yet keep
the birds In the best Of physical CON
dition.
The problem of feeding is one of

the surest way to establish a depend
able. continuing, and increasing bust
ness is to forward nothing but strictly
reliable and satisfactory produce.
The average producer, as a rule, does
not realize the Importance of appear
ance as a factor in selling goods and
frequently is careless and Indifferent
in preparing produce for market. The
consumer, on the other hand, relies
very largely upon appearance In select
ing food supplies. and unattractive ar
ticles are passed by promptly. Prod
C should be of high quality, clean
and attractive, carefully and neatly
prepared and packed, Of one variety,
and. as far as practicable, uniform In
size. shape, color and quality; and
last. but not least. carefully packed to
insure its arrival In a satisfactory con-
dition..
All successful cooperative market
ing organizations of growers and pri-
vate marketing organizations have an
ironclad rule that no fruit of any kind
which has fallen On the ground shall
be picked up and shipped. 1t is eve
more important that this rule should
be observed In parcel post marketing.
Producers should at all times strive for
uniformity in the products shipped
uniformity of size especially, and also
of color and quality.
1t may be stated that as a usual
proposition it is feasible to ship only

comparison with its weight. In any
case, the net returns will be the deter
mining factor; only general facts can
be stated In this connection. In fam
lily baskets or containers, or In assorted
lots of vegetables and of fruits, there
is likely to be a demand for the inclu-
sion of many of the heavier articles,
such as potatoes, cantaloupes, cabbage
and onions, the shipment of which
alone might not be justified.
A personal acquaintance should be
sumner, If 1t does % exist, when they
come into business contact. This will
help a great deal in furthering parcel
post marketing, and also will eliminate
many Of the MISUNDERSTANDING which
may occur from time to time. A definite
understanding should exist as to the
duties Of each In regard to remittances,
claims for damaged or spoiled produce,
and the preservation and return of con-
tainers. Monthly remittances by the
consumer probably would be satisfac-
tory. More frequent payments rrob-
ably would be Objectionable to the pur-
chaser. while the producer In most
cases would not be satisfied with less
frequent settlements. Consumers
should remember that farmers are u.s.
ually busy and not inclined to need
less correspondence. Farmers should
be prompt In attending to correspond
ence IL they desire to do business.

TRAIN RUNS
into CAR

Evidently there is no breaking
point to the Maxwell motor. as smash
ups, collisions and over-exertion runs
fail 10 stop the smooth-running en-
CINE.
The latest demonstration Of the
durability Of the Maxwell motor car
took place in Punxsutawney, Pa,
August 5. when il and freight train
crashed into each other. Because Of
the sturdiness Of the construction Of
the Maxwell. three occupants escaped
death in the accident
In terrific collision with a freight
train the lighter motor car was hurled
over a ten-foot embankment Riding
in the car were Harry Simpson. his
wife and their baby.
The occupants were thrown out Of
the car but the strong construction
OF the vehicle protected them from
serious injury by the compact Of the
collision.
The Maxwell was hauled back up
the embankment to the roadway. AZ
ter the destructive effect Of the col
lision-a twisted front axle, had been
repaired. the Maxwell was driven
away under its own power.
"The Maxwell motor can stand any
thing-it's a mechanical marvel" de-
clared Simpson. as he reached his
home in Punxsutawney.
Absolutely no repairs or adjust
ments to the motor were necessary on
account Of the accident.
Mr.. Simpson, Of course. is more Of
a Maxwell fan now than ever before
and he praises the life saving car on
all occasions. His particular car Is
paraded as a relic to be revered and
admired.
II doubt IL any other car could
have withstood the terrific impact Of
the collision without being broken to
pieces" he said.
THAT Maxwell motor certainly has
he power" Simpson declared after
the accident.

thusiasm for the carr

ders for Maxwells and no prospect
Of getting them to freight. r. Sauth
thereupon organized a crew Of sales
men and mechanics from the service
station. and drove a string Of Max
wells from Detroit TO Buffalo.
On the way to Buffalo a very anus
ing and significant incident occurred
which demonstrated how much more
economical Maxwell Is as compared
with other cars.
At a spot few miles west OF Erie,
Pa, the road dips into a gully, both
sides Of which are very steep. The
road was slushy and rutted and auto
mobile drivers experienced extreme
difficulty in getting up on either side.
A farmer, with an eye for business.
was on deck all day with two teams,
hauling cars up the hill at 81 a car.
When the train Of Maxwells drew
up, Mr.. Farmer was ready with his
teams to take them up at 81 car
no discount for quantity. Mr.. Nauth
looked ut the hill then looked at the
train. made a mental calculation of
what the expense would be and de-
cided TO pin his faith on the Maxwell
and save money.
Refusing the farmers profered as
sistance, he started down the west
Ade Of the gully, shifted his gears
to low and then ehuek-chuek-ehuek
to the top Of the hill Every car in
the string went up that hill without
a falter amid the cheers Of the other
automobile drivers who were unable
TO turn the trick.
The cars came through without a
mishap and IL anything very much i'm
proved by the run. -

Bad Luck AT Turn.

The public square in Thurmont is not
very large, neither is it very small, but
the majority of persons driving autos
have no trouble keeping to the right a.
round the post in the center thereof.
Teamsters make the turn with four
horses, and like other things, when you
"catch on" it is easy.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Frank Stoner
of Frederick city tried to make the turn
up w. Main street, but the C. & P. tele-
phone pole on the corner held her up.
Last Sunday afternoon she again tried
the curve, this time rather fast, and sue
ceeded in missing the pole but instead
banged headon into the Osler Building.
One of the large foundation stones was
moved fraction of an inch under the
heavy brick wall but no other damage
was done the building.
Her car Paige, was badly damage
and was taken to the Thurmont Garage
for repairs. Mrs. Stoner says she is
bound to learn turning on our square and
will try as soon as her car is repaired.

Last Monday morning as the U. 5.
Parcel Post mail truck was on it's way
from Thurmont to Emmitsburg an at
tempt was made to hold up the driver at
the Toms creek bridge about one mile
south of Emmitsburg. AS the truck en-
tered the bridge negro at the Emmlts-
burg side Of the creek stepped out and
fiourished revolver and demanded a
halt. The truck was running at good
speed and the driver shot on more gas
and beat it to Emmtsburg. He report
ed the matter to the deputy sheriff. The
officer hastened to the bridge and found
a white man there, who on being ques-
toned said that the negro left soon after
the mail truck left the bridge.
