It seems almost a miracle that any
of the men escaped with their lives.
Five were instantly killed, two died

Theories az to Cause ii Wreck.
At the point Of the derailment there
was an angle bar connecting the rails.
which, it is stated, by a railroad man,
who examined it just after the catas-
trophe, had only one bolt in it, the
place for the three other bolts being
vacant. That the lack of these bolts
caused the flanges of the car to mount
the rail and the two cars to be de-
rallied on account of the joint not be-
ing held true is one OF the theories
advanced Another is that possibly
the trucks were rigid and refused to
follow the curve A third is that these
two causes may have combined to de-
rail the cars at this point. The curve
is fairly deep approaching the trestle
and the outside of the curve to the
right, the way the car toppled, is the
camp side on which the soldiers had
naturally gathered to wave their good
byes to their fellows, making this side
of the car heavier. A thorough in
vestigation into the causes Of the
wreck is being made by the camp Of
ficials. While the railroad commits

Columbia, May lO.-Camp Jackson
was the scene this morning of the
second most disastrous railroad
wreck il South Carolina in recent
years, when a wooden passenger
coach in a troop train toppled vi a
trestle over Wildcat creek, turning
over and falling a sheer fifteen feet
to the ground below, resulting in the
death of eight soldiers and injuries
of 26 others, five of whom are re-
ported as seriously injured.
Practically al the dead and injured
were members of the 321st infantry,
and all were privates with the ex-
ception of four corporals, who were
among the injured. Only one South
Carolinian was included, Private
Robert A. Moore, of Trio, Williams
burg county, who was slightly injured
The train was being pushed out
of the Camp Jackson yards towards
the main line station at Sims, two
miles west, where it was to be pick
ed up by Coast Line engine and
AIKEN to it's destination. The wooden
Baltimore and Ohio coach, which was
the scene of the holocaust, left the
rails about 100 feet before reaching
the. trestle Immediately behind it
was steel Seaboard coach which
went off on the embankment, but
there were no injuries of any extent
in this car. The wooden coach had
just about got full length ON the
trestle when it went off. Turning
completely over, it landed heavily
upon it's top, throwing the men down
to the roof and the wheels and iron
work crushed the car down upon

Poultry Yards and Fences.

Breeding stock, and especially grow
ing chickens, SHOULD have an abund'
ance of range, while hens kept solely
for The production of eggs may be kept
or "A small area with good results. In
rural districts the yarding of poultry
is sometimes unnecessary and in such
cases colony houses are used to advan-
tage. Under this system it is easy to
keep the birds healthy INT the feed
bill is reduced, as they are able to get
a good part of their feed from the
range. These houses, which hold about
10 hens, are placed from o to $50
feet apart and are moved from place
to place as new range is needed.
When poultry fences are needed, as
is the case in keeping poultry in towns
n cities and in some rural sections,
as few fences as possible should be
erected, as they increase the cost of
equipment, labor n maintenance.
When very much land is available the
poultry yard can often be kept in sod
On good soil this can be done by allow
ing 200 to $50 square feet of land per
bird CIT to 2T4 birds to the acre)
while more space is necessary on poor
or light land. A large number of
fowls are usually kept to the acre
where double yards are used and the
land is frequently cultivated.
Plymouth Rocks and the heavy meat
breeds in small yards require fences
five to six feet high, while a fence six
to seven feet high is necessary for Leg
horns. The upper two feet of the
fence for the latter may be inclined
inward at IN angle of 80 degrees, or a
strand or two of barbed wire may
help keep them confined, while it is
sometimes necessary to clip the wing
feathers of n wing of those birds
which persist in getting out.
Posts may be set or driven into the
ground. They should be set eight to
ten feet apart with common poultry
netting, or 10 to 20 feet with woven
wire. Corner posts should be about
eight inches in diameter, and be set
four feet in the ground, while interven-
ing posts may be four or five inches in
diameter and set three feet in the
ground. That part of the post which is
set in the ground may be charred or
treated with some wood preventative
to advantage, while corner posts
should be firmly braced or set In ce-
ment.

Overcoming Objections.


Objection is frequently raised to the
keeping of poultry In towns and cities
because of the odor which may result
and also because Of the noise which
is made by ROSTERS growing, particu-
larly in the early morning. There is
no necessity for the poultry flock to
become a nuisance to neighbors.
If the dropping boards are cleaned
daily and the houses and yards are
kept in a reasonably clean condition
there will be no annoying odors. The
soil in the yard should be stirred or
spaded up frequently If not in sod In
order to keep 1t in the best condition.
This will not only tend to keep down
any odors which might arise, but also
allow the droppings to be absorbed in
to the soil more readily and therefore
keep the yard in better condition for
the hens.
The male bird need not be q nui-
sance. Unless 1t Is intended to hatch
chickens from the flock 1t is unneces-
sary to keep a male bird. The fact
that there is no male in the flock will
have absolutely no effect on the num-
Der of eggs laid by the hens. The
male bird should be sold or eaten just
as soon as the Matching season is over.
, 1918-08-22
CHICKENS AT HOME

A yard surrounded by a FIVE
foot fence will, under most con-
ditions. keep chickens at home.
If the hens show a tendency to
fly over such a fence, the flight
feathers of one wing should be
clipped. A fence made of woven
wire Is preferable to a fence
made of board or other material.
A board should not be used at
the top of a wire fence, as this
gives the hens a visible place to
alight and tends to teach them
to fly over. The larger the yard
which can be provided the more
contented the hens will be. 1t
not only gives them greater OPP
portunity to exercise, but often
makes it possible to maintain n
sod OF the yard, which is advis-
able.
, 1918-08-22

This is desirable not only for the pur-
pose of eliminating noise, but also to
save the feed that would be eaten by
the male and for the reason that the
eggs produced after the male is dis
posed of will be infertile. Since these
eggs are incapable of chick develop
ment they keep much better than fer
tile eggs, and consequently are superb
or for preserving or for market.
