Settling The Birds For The Winter

An ounce of sodium Ggcgide applied
before tile birds go into their aging
quarters i'm the fall is worth more
than the p|roverbial pound of cure after
they are once in, and the h,e get
troublesome.
November l is New Years Day in
in poultry eli cles, and as such : a
good time for poulrtymen to maize
good resolutions and keep them. By
this time all birds that have completed
a years lay ing should have been
given "the once over and IS unfit 70

Subject the laying house TO a ri@or-
Gus cleaning, take out the old litter
and nest material; d.,infect and
w~hitewash tie house, and put IN new
nest material and litter-and all be-
fore the birCs are brought in.

Keep the mash, oyster shell and
water before the birds all the time,
and feed the scratch twice a day, US
ing y pounds OF grain to 100 birds,
with the larger meal at the end Of
the day. When lights I used, feed
II pounds of grain, giving 3 pounds
during the hours that the lights are
on.
Green food is a very necessary part
of the poultry diet, and in the form
of ]sprouted oats. alfalfa, etc, should
be fed the birds daily. Ard finally, a
word of warning about water. Birds
should be able to drink at all times,
but remember that they can't drink
frozen water.

Needed To Get Together-The County
Agent Managed That

All railroad officials are not hard
hearted; all farmers at not stlck-ln-
the-muds. Witness the following tale
which comes from Atlantic County.
Along the Cape May division of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
farmers had been facing a serious
problem. The greatest drawback to
the growth of their towns was lack of
adequate transportation facilities.
Breakable products, such as eggs,
shipped by freight, had been handled
~carelessly and had come through
broken. Perishable fruits and vege-
tables had arrived in New York a day
late and often unfit to sell.
Because of too stringent regulations
of the railroads, express service also
was unsatisfactory, so that when the
freight service was finally Withdrawn,
the farmers had to choose between
buying expensive motor trucks, sell
ing their farms, or growing just
enough to supply their own needs.
Some choose the first alternative;
many the second, and others the third.
Then County Agent Eldred took
matters into his hands. He call
ed into consultation H. B. Bamford,
transportation specialist of the State
Department of Agriculture and to-
gether they took up the matter with
the railroad officials, and right then
and there they learned that railroad
officials can be human like the rest of
US.
4 meeting was called and in spite
of the fact that it was in the height
of the marketing season, 40 farmers
were on hand to explain their troubles
to the two officials present.
One farmer at Dorothy told how he
could throw a stone from his pickle
patch and hit the railroad train,
but in order to get those same ucum
bers marketed he had to truck them
ten miles over a rough road to Landis-
vile, the nearest shipping point.
Other farmers who lived a mile dis
tant from the Midway station carted
their produce s miles to Landisville.
Richland farmers within a mile of
their station had to haul their
good 4 or ) miles, while Folsom farm
ers one-half mile from Folsom station,
carried their vegetables 2 or 3 miles
to a station on the Central Railroad.
The officials We're impressed. Ten
DAYS later arrangements had been
made. freight was to be carried on
local passenger trains which would
connect with a fast freight on the
Central at Winslow Junction. Two
carloads of produce went off the first
day tic arrangements was made.
After all. it was just a case Of get
ting the other fellows story, and Co
operating with him. The railroad
company was just as much pleased as
the farmers as the result of it all.

every Saturday morning at $50.
Twenty-four Cadets went on a
tree hike" last Saturday and con-
cluded with a campfire, roasted
frankfurters and marshmallows, and
after telling several h~air-raising
ghost stories walked home, very close
to their leader, J. w. Crockett. 1t
was a rather dark night, at that. AS
they entered the Village, their songs
caused many a head to pop out to see
what it was all about.
The Girls Junior Leader Corps party
was q huge success, mainly because
of the work of Miss Stack, Miss Curly
and Miss Mccoy, the committee.
A costume party is in the offing; at
a hectic meeting OF the corps, MISS
Blanche Stack was elected President;
Miss Mabel Schellinger, Vice Presi-
dent; Miss Beatrice McKeag, Secre-
tary, and Miss Gladys McAllister,
Treasurer.
Now tE2t the girls are organized, a
request will be made upon the good
ladies of our Community to meet with
the girls and teach them sewing, en-
broidery, first aid, etc.
The Dramatic Society of Carneys
Point will be organized by the time
this goes to press, and all the folks
interested will be invited to sit in
and join with US in making the winter
season most enjoyable at the Com
munity Y.
The music for the "Hobos Conven-

Freedom Of The Press

The "'never ending audacity of
elected persons" most surely has
reached its climax in the recent suit
brought by the city of Chicago against
the Chicago Tribune. The legal adj
visors of the City Council contended
that the Tribune and the Chicago
Daily News by printing adverse criti-
cisms of the municipal administration
had "Iibeled' the city and thereby low
cred its credit in the money market.
To cover the alleged financial loss
damages were asked in the sum of
$40, 000,0 600. This is merely an unusu-
al insolent way of saying that a mum
nicipal administration, by whatever
means it may have been returned to
power and however inimical to public
interests its corporate acts may be,
is immune from ~unfavorable criticism.
In the same category of thought be-
long those public administrators who,
when an outside survey of any de-
partment or phase of the government
of which they are the servants make
a critical report, try as long as posi-
BILE to keep the report from c%irculat-
ion its publication should give their
city or state "a black eye"
Fortunately there is a considerable
number (not yet so large as it should
be) of people who are weary of white
washing reports, shallow boosters and
weakened administrators, and who
want to know the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth about
the administration which is in charge
Of their public business. Still more
fortunately as in the case of the suit
mentioned, there are clear headed
Judges who conceive that a very i'm
portant part of the duties of their
office is to defend popular rights and

PUBLIC SALE ADVERTISING


4 New Idea That Brings Good Results
me day of big posters for adVertls-
ING rs practically a thing of the past.
il used to be that every store and
country hotel was plastered up with
then. it is only occasionally nowadays
fhqt YOU see one of them. One reason
tor heir disappearance Is that they
do nos add to the attractiveness OF
the place and merchants do not care
10 detlact from their window displays,
and oar room wells for their display
have gone the voyage.
Put UP on trees and fences out OF
doors the Zig posters printed on paper
are sCou tom to pieces by the eIe-
merits, as the farmer does not hlre the
bill boards as the theatres do.
The logical place for such adVer-
Using is OF course the local papers,
delivered ly mail and carriers into the
homes of every locality.
1t has remained, however, for a
local auctioncer to adopt a supplement
tai help to the newspaper that has
proved a splendid success. David A.
EngIish. Penns Groves well known
a-uctioneer, some time ago began dis
tributiag snail circulars to advertise
his sales. They contain all the infor-
nation that can be given on a big
poster and far more convenient. Mer-
chants do not object to having a few
Of these on their counters and custo-
rlers can take one home and read 1t
at their leisure.
A man contemplating having a pub
lie sale may put up 25 OF so posters
covering a considerable territory and
it may be that few of those desired to
be informed will see them. Besides
they must stand on the street in the
hot sun, the cold or a storm to read
them.
Now here is the advantage of the
rev rlan. Instead of % posters, you
get 200 circulars, and the cost is about
The anne. probably less. You have
plenty to make a house to house dis
tribution over a large territory and
enough left to put a few in each store,
or tack up on trees for passers by
to take one and read.
The printer is hardly the beneficiary
of this new idea in the way of o
business. He is simply suggesting to
you a better plan to advertise your
sale than has been used in the past at
really less expense.
In the past year we have printed
many lots of the circulars as described
and the idea is fast growing in popu-
as you are sur to get them in
the hands of the people you desire to
reach. So, if you want to get the
best results, advertise your sale in
the home paper and supplement it
with a careful distribution of cir
culars.
