CHICKENS NEED
HEAT AND LIGHT

Fowls that are wintered in cold
parts Of the country. where the tenn
perature runs below freezing to 20 de-
grees or more below zero, need cOnsid-
cradle protection. When the cold is
so intense that the fowl is uncomfort-
able. n certain part Of the heat and
energy from the food eaten is used to
combat this low temperature and the
food which is required for that pur-
pose cannot. of course, be used to
manufacture eggs. Therefore, the
construction Of the house varies with
the temperature or part Of country in
which II is to be used. A thin and
partly open house Is best for warmer
climates, but must have reasonably
thick walls and be capable of being
closed quite tightly on severe nights
In cold sections. 1t is comparatively
cheap to make house warm by using
several thicknesses Of inexpensive tar
paper, and IL better looking struc-
ture Is wanted, other methods can be
employed. In any event, the house
must be made comfortable.

plenty Of windows to let in light so

can shine in to warm and brighten
the interior. The direct rays Of the
sun will kill every germ Of disease
that It touches and that in itself Is in;-

vantage, because the house warns up
too much in the daytime when the
fowls are busy and cOOls down too
rapidly at night when they are on the

A WISH

When the world to thee Is new.
When its dazzling dreams deceive thee.
Ere they pass Ike morning dew
Faith retrieve thee!
When the glory fades away,
When OF light the clouds bereavs thee,
When the shadows mar the day
Hope relieve thee!
When despair's destroying breath
Comes at eventide to grieve Thea
With the bitterness OF DEATH
Love reprieve thee!
When the bells at Curfew toll.
When the lingering sunbeams leave
thee,
When the night o'erwhelms thy soul
God receive thee!

The latest burglary was in the home
Of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Huntley early
Thursday morning, when someone EN-
tered the house, ransaeked every room
and finally entered the room where Mrs.
Huntley was sleeping. stumbling over
something and awakening her by the re-
sulting noise, snatching Mr.. Huntley's
watch from table near the door and
fleeing downstairs as Mrs Huntley
jumped from her bed and started for
the hallway. She was in time to see
the man, who called back TO her Il shoot.

robbery, came to the Huntley house and
investigated and chen went to the rail

burglar heard the crunching of the gravel
under the policeman's feet and start
ed to leave the place, being, how
ever, followed by the watehman, and
questioned as to his intentions that time
of night. The man claimed to be looking
for q friend, but finally admitted he was
staying at tbs inn. To this hotel he
was taken, other officers Of the law were
summoned and his room, which he had
taken two days before, was searched
Here were found five suit cases, most
of them filled with articles which ap-
peared to have been stolen, including
several new and very expensive toilet
sets, several watches. new outfits of
clothes and considerable money in small
change The Huntley watch was among
the loot, and was positively identified
by Mrs. Huntley yesterday.
The man had nothing to say and was
locked up in the Addison county Jail.
1t is believed tnat the burglar has been
working Systematically in Burlington,
Rutland and Middlebury, an expense slip
showing that the man had been in Rut-
land and apparently at the same time
that burglary was committed at the
Howley Clothing store in that city. 1t
is also thought that $he man has been
working in league with someone else,
who was selling articles which were
stolen.

time of his arrest, but it was said around
