POULTRY Demon
STRATION FARMS

There is plenty of evidnece every
where in the County that the interest
in poultry in Fulton County has been
decidedly increased because of the
culling demonstrations which were
held in every township during the
summer.
The culling demonstrations are to
be followed up by the establishment
of one or more poultry demonstration
farms in each township. On these
farms careful records will be kept
in cooperation with the State Poul-
try Department, of the eggs produc-
ed, feeds fec and miscellaneous ex-
penses as well as the returns. These
fiocks will be properly fed and cared
for according to recommendations of
the State Poultry Department and
several meetings will be held at each
farm during the year for the benefit
of the people of the township at
which the results secured will be an
alyzed.
The principal reason for the estab-
fishing of these farms Is for the pur-
pose of solving the poultry problems
in which all poultry raisers in the
townships are interested.
During the week Of October 17th
meeting will be held in each town
ship where feeding for winter eggs
will be discussed. Watch for the
schedule next week.

VALUE OF POULTRY
CULLING CONTESTS

Of Fulton County's hens, a total
of 1894 came during the past summer
to bloody end And all because
of certain group of American poul-
try scientists, at a time when most
Fulton County hens were barely
eggs, met and figured out ways by
which man can judge in summer If
his flock will lay, and which loaf, the
following winter.
Poultry specialists of the Ohio
State University held sectional meet
ings for county agents during early
summer and taught them to Gull from
the flock all lady loafers. County
agents, in turn, held meetings for
farmers especially interested in poul-
try and passed on the method in a
single lesson. Finally, farmers and
their wives passed along the good
word one to another.
! At 70 culling meetings in Fulton
County, 11,171 hens were handled
and 1894, judged not laying, were
penned separately and, when it was
! found that judgment was correct
killed. A total of 11l2 persons at,
tended the demonstrations, many
promising to try the plan on THEN
home fiocks, and to report results
later.
In 70 Ohio counties, a quarter-mil.
lion hens were handled and a quarter
of that number slain, at an estimated
saving of more than $4,000 in win.
ter feed bills. The average county
participating in the effort held 33 de
unconstitutional meetings, attended by
rs DresOnS.

This MAN KNOWS

The wives expressed by farm peo-
pie under present conditions are more
often encouraging than not. There
are, of course, those who are com
pletely discouraged, who have lost
faith, but from what we have lost
they are exceptions. The large
number seem to view the future with
conidnece, as does the former Wau-
seon resident who says in letter re-
ceived at this office a few days ago.
81 just want you to remind your
readers that those of US who live in
the country still find many things to
be thankful for. We have our homes,
our families, plenty to eat and wear,
and we run our own business in our
own way. Furthermore, we are en-
gagged in a business that commands
the respect of The rest of the world
more and more as the years go by.
This business of producing food is
not such bad one if we size it up
correctly. For myself, | think it is
the best one, and the more l see of
the way people live and work in the
big cities, the surer / am that am
right"

STATE BOARD
OF HEALTH

DIR. Shaffer of the State Board of
Health was in town Saturday. He is
making tour of the towns in Fulton
County in regard to the typhoid cpl
demic that has been common for the
past several months.
DIR. Malone of the State Board of
Health who was here several weeks
ago took samples of the water and
milk and while DIR. Shatfer was here
he made this statement:
at is not the milk or water that is
causing the typhoid epidemic as a
thorough test has been made but the
condition here is due to poor sewer
age disposal, and sanitary conditions
around private homes.
Signed,
DIR. Shaffer,
State Board of Health
DIR. C. F. Hartman, County Health
Officer told us the other day that it
was not the water. He said
Il have taken five samples of the
water from the public supply and
have tested every public we'll and
after a thorough test have found
them negative or oure.
Signed
DR.. C. F. Hartman,
County Health Officer
In conversation with DR.. Shaffer
he said that the epidemic was general
all over the state and that the Board
of Health have been working night
and day in an effort to stop it.

why NOT!

Why do the citizens allow an entire
stranger to come into town with a
bunch of cheap merchandise and sell
it to them at what may seem a re-
markable low figure and still make
them believe it is the best that is
made.
Nine times out of ten he is pro-
badly selling stolen goods or else he
buys lot of cheap goods and does
not get guarantee, neither does he
give one. The merchants of the
town guarantee their goods.
Monday there was a man on the
streets selling raincoats. He was
asked where lie was from but declin-
eu to tell. He had a different price
for every one that he was able to
stop and try his coats on. If the
first price didn't suit you he would
cut it, using any means possible tc
sell his goods.
1t seems that there should be ar
ordinance against this kind of busi.
ness and what is more make him tel
where he is from and then make hin
pay if he wants to do business.

FIRE PREVENTION

This is fire prevention week thru.
out the entire United States and re-
sidents Of Wauseon should not let it
pass without seeing to it that tiues.
chimneys, smokestacks, ETC., are in
proper shape for the fall and winter
1t takes but moment to clear up the
chimney, and see that it contains ne
dangerous cracks or holes. Only a
little time is required to straighter
up the accumulation of waste mater
ial that has been allowed to gather
during the summer months. And al
hour spent in cleaning up this week
may mean saving of several hun
dred dollars, possibly loss of life, 8
little later on. See that the stove
pipe hasn't rusted so thin inside a:
to become dangerous, and while yot
are at it don't forget the heating ap
paratus in church and school. Asl
the school trustees if they have seel
to it that everything is safe for tn,

they preside And keep in mind a

greatest number of persons added to
the church by baptism of any year in
the denominations history.
The speakers presented some
things which it will be well for the
jeople of our community to think
over. ''The denominations are fac

CORNCOB TO Be
MADE USEFUL

The lowly and despised eorncob,
for decades the useless refuse of
American agriculture has come into
it's own. The eornceb, it was learn
ed today, is now the source of a
highly important chemical derivative
developed through the researches of
the Department of Agriculture lab
oratory, in cooperation with the
chemists Of the new American chemi-
cal industry, built up under the stress
of the war need for laboratory pro-
ducts which prior to 1914 were mono
polized by Germany.
The corncob, which heretofore has
been a burden to the farmer, will
now take it's place among the many
vital raw products which through the
miracles of the laboratory supply the
world with daily needs. It will rank
with the prolific coal tar bases in its
usefulness according to the Depart
ment chemists. In fact, it will be
largely used in connection with the
vast coal tar dye-stuff and chemical
industry which is growing by leaps
and bounds in this country, ana
which threatens to enter the lists
against the powerful German chemi-
cal monopoly for world supremacy.
The Department of Agriculture
chemists in their efforts to find use
for the lowly corncob succeeded in
the first instance in developing from
it paste that will find wide use as
binder in the manufactures of fibre
! board and wall board. One of thc
analysts undertook some experiment:
with the residue left after the paste
had been developed and discovered
that it contained approximately Il
percent of high grade furfural.
Furfural is; one of the hasic needs
of the immense chemical industry il
range of coal tar products ranging
I from dyestuffs to Photographic lab
oratory materials. Prior to the tins
the United States entered the war
one of the conditions which throttleC
Iehemieal development in this countr7
was the German control OF furfural

As a result the farmer will be all

OLD GLORY SECOND
ON HIGH SEAS

Excluding Great Lakes vessels the
worlds steam tonnage today totals
nearly 59,OOO,OOO gross tons, accord

IS an increase of about 100000

this period the steam tonnage of the
United States has multiplied six
times while that of the United King

now have nearly rs per cent as much
