The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-09-27

The season of the Brattleboro Athletics,
which closed Sept. Is, when they took the
measure of Nillers Falls team for the Sec
ond time this season, was one of the most
successful of recent years.
Too much credit cannot be given to the
boys, and not many local teams can boast
of record such as the Athletics made
with a strictly all-local team. There have
been many so-called representative teams
in nearby towns who have found it nee
essary to go outside to hire players to
give them a team strong enough to put
them on the winning side of the score.
The Athletics have been strictly a local
team, outside of four games in the early
part of the season when it became 1eces-
sary to draw on outside talent for a
pitcher, but with the arrival of Adams in
the early part of July the team became
purely a local organization and finished
the season as such.
The Athletics got good start, winning
the first four games, and then came the
only setbacks received throughout the en-
tire season, when they suffered loss of
four games in a row. In justice to the
boys, however, it must be mentioned that

SMALL HOUSE FOR CHICKENS
New Lumber VIII Make Best Appear
ance, but Packing Boxes Will
Answer Purpose Well.

In building a poultry house, new
lumber will of course make the best
appearing structure and will also be
somewhat easier TO work up because
it can be bought In lengths most
advantageous for the purpose. Houses
for a few hens can sometimes be
constructed from packing boxes, while
used material or secondhand lumber,
If it can be purchased cheaply and
is close at hand, will sometimes lower
the cost Of the house materially.
Occasionally, also, where a high
board fence is available, the house can
be built in the corner Of the fence,
thus saving the construction Of the
back and one side Of the house. Care
must = used to cover or batten the

by the use of roofing paper. Construct
the building so that the front Of your
henhouse will admit the sunlight.

All Are Early at Work.

The day begins early for everybody
in Belgium, and particularly with the
wage-earners. More than half Of Bel
GUMS population lives outside the
towns, and they are up at their work
before the gray dawn Is dispersed by
the rising sun, and on clear mornings
the lights of hundreds of cottages
may be seen vying with the stars as
they twinkle forth their message OF
households bestirring.
In the towns and cities the people
are downtown almost as early as their
neighbors across the English Chan
mel are at breakfast. They get their
midday meal around nOon, and they
go home for 1t, since remarkably low
tramway fares make this possible. So
it is that, instead of a mug Of milk
and a sandwich at some quick lunch,
many a Belgian burgher shuts up shop
at -, goes home to his largest meal
Of the day, eats 1t leisurely, and re-
turns downtown by 2 o'clock.
The Belgian government has always
felt a keen interest in the welfare OF
the w~age-earner and the man Of small
affairs, and has made 1t possible for
them to buy homes on easy terms.
The national savings bank Is empOw-
cred to make loans to househOlders
for buying or building homes, and to
insure their lives, so that In the event
Of death the family will not lose Its

Taxes were made exceedingly low
on small property owned by those
who tenant It.
The entire western portion OF the
country resembles one vast market
garden. There are no fences marking
the boundaries Of the many small
tracts. but rather little trenches that
separate one farmers place from the
others. Tens Of thousands Of acres
Of the toughest kind. of land have
beer converted into splendid trucking
gardens by western Belgians. In 1888
there was q wild stretch of land west
of the Scheldt river called the Pays
de Waes, uncultivated and %uninhabi-
ted. Today IL is one of the most fertile
sections of this remarkable country,
supporting 800 people TO the square
mile, with truck farming as It's prin.
cipal industry.

The object of storing any product
is to preserve its quality during AZ
long a period as may be necessary or
possible in order to permit It's dis
poSal at the most advantageous time.
Investigations by the bureau of plant
industry, United States Department
Of Agriculture, show that the temper
ature best suited to the proper pres

from 81 to 45 degrees. In regions
where the p~owdery dry rot occurs a
temperature Of 33 to SO degrees holds
the disease In check better than a
higher one.
II Is found best not to store pota-
toes In large piles when they are moist
or covered with moist earth, as they
quickly develop sufficient heat to In
jure the vitality Of the tubers. If
through unfavorable weather condi-
tons 1t becomes necessary to store
potatoes when they are wet and dirty,
they should be spread out In a thin
layer until they have become dry,
after which they may be piled up. 1t
Is not desirable to store potatoes to a
greater depth than six feet.
Potatoes intended for table use
should always be stored In a dark

French, and only 10 per cent Of the

There is a physical difference be-

Belgium, just as there is a difference
Of tongue and stock. The Walloons

GET FIGURES ON PUREBREDS
Bureau Of census Completing Tabula-

In Reports.

On account of the great interest
which the United States Department
Of Agriculture finds has been shown
In census figures of purebred live stock
In ten representative farm states, the
bureau of the census is proceeding
with plans to complete the tabulation
for the remaining states. This work
is receiving the hearty cooperation of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Live stock specialists Of the
department regard such figures as
very valuable as factors In production
problems, and as indicating develop
ments in the improvement of domestic
animals In this country.
1t Is understood that the final census
figures pertaining to purebred live
stock on farms will be available at the
same time the general live stock fig
ures are furnished. 1t is thought that
this will be some time during the COM
ing summer. Breeders aed breeders
associations interested in this work
have already indicated their apprecia-
ton Of the value Of the figures thus far
available. 1t is the first time in the
history Of any country that accurate
figures on the total number of purebred
animals on farms have been compiled.

FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left-Handed,
So It Is With the Organs
of Vision.

Very few people realize that the!
are as much right-eyed or left-eyeC
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in chair and fix your at
tention on some subject on the Other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at a time.
If, when you open your right eye, you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In
that case you will find your finger
very much to the right of the object
when you open your left eye.
II you are right-handed you win
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those Of the other side.
