COW PROBLEM VEXES TOWN

LYNCHBURG. Va. August 23.-
Madison Heights. an Amherst county
suburb of Lynchburg. is much vexed
over the COW question. With a popu-
lation Of 5000 people the settlement
has no municipal organization and a
mo fence" law operative in the coun-
ty, residents of the suburb have no
means of combating havoc done by
roaming milch cows until after the
trouble is done and then only a war
rant for damage lies. The suburb is
full of cows and they roam at will
night and day. but Of late there is a
considerable howl over the ting-a-
ling of a COW bell under ones bedroom
window all hours Of the night. 1t
would not be surprising II Mistress
Cow does not cause a move to have
the settlement incorporated. The sub
urb Is just across the James river
from Lynchburg. and its population is
made up principally of people who
work in the city.

Concrete is hardly suitable for any

floors should be built up above the

pending upon the location and the
character of the soil drainage Six
inches is usually sufficient on well
drained sandy soil. In many locations
raise of from ten to twelve inches
would not be too high On badly
drained land it is advisable to first put
down layers of crushed rocks or pieces
of stone. and cover with earth or
sand to height desired. Board floors
should be raised from the ground and
then covered with about two inches or
more of sand. Litter, preferably straw,
should be used in large quantities and
kept on the floors and changed as Oft
en- as it becomes badly soiled and
matted down 1t should never be al
lowed to get filthy. Fresh straw, add
ed from time to time will help to
maintain reasonable cleanliness and
lessen the number of necessary COM
plete changes. Not less than six
square feet of floor space is required
for each duck for best results. Though
the duck is more hardy than the
chicken, crowding and exposure inter-
fere with egg production and affect the
vitality of the fowl.

Pioneers in Temperance Work.

The moral influence of this congre-
cation was great. To it belongs the
distinction of having organized the
first total abstinence society in Vir-
ginia, and one of the first in the
United States. In 1929 Bible society
was formed by the people of French
Creek in connection with those of
Buckhannon.
In education French Creek has al
ways exerted a wide influence on the
rest of the state. AS until after the
war there were no free schools in
Virginia the people had to provide
for the education of their children.
The ministers were teachers, and
taught Latin and Greek to those who
wished a higher education.
A Sabbath school was organized by
Rev. Asa Brooks in the Presbyterian
Church as early as 1914, and 1t has
never been suspended.
Enterprising young men and women
have been going from this community
to western states almost ever since
the settlers came here from New
England, but it has never lost it's
exalted position as a center of re-
ligious. intellectual and moral life.
