Eyes, my name Is Peter Gnome, and
you've made no mistake in my name.
But l think you've made another mis-

If you have or not, but you will be

"Ah, then let me hear what you
think 1t Is for l will want to tell you
whether have or not and, Of course,
l cannot know whether l have made a
mistake or not until you tell me what
you think my mistake has been.
THAT is a very long sentence for a
little brown butterfly, isn't it?"
The Brown Butterfly smiled sweet
little Butterfly smile.
"Tell me of the mistake you think
I have made"
Il will tell you at once" said Peter
Gnome.
So Peter Gnome sat upon an old
stump in the woods and the little
Brown Butterfly sat upon a shrub
nearby.
Il think you have made a mistake in
hiding your home" said Peter Gnome.
Surely your home cannot be here.
Surely, you have lost your way and

ing received by the owner from the
orchard.
On the advice Of the county agent
nearly all the branches were pruned
off and cultivation was started and
kept up through the summer. This
year instructions on pruning the new
growth of wood were given and a good
crop Of fruit has set. The orchard
Is now practically free from scale and
Is a good example of what may be
expected from an old orchard that is
given little care.

The care Of growing chicks especial

Every boy or girl member OF poul-

The baby chicks may be smart little

stock, and they may have been brood

weeks. but unless they receive proper
care and management during their

SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD
TWO Hens for Each Member Of Fam
lily Are Recommended as Best BY
Poultry Specialists.

The average novice can reasopablv
expect to get an average of AT least
10 dozen eggs per hen per year from
his small flock in the back yard. On
the basis Of two hens to each mem
Der of the family this will give 90
dozen eggs year to each person
which amount is about halfway be-
tween the average Of farm and civ
consumption. No backyard poultry
keeper should be satisfied with less
than this, say poultry specialists OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Every backyard poultry
keeper should try to get as much
more as possible To provide an egg
a day for each person, two hens would
have to lay 1873 eggs each a year.

POULTRY MANURE FOR FRUIT
Most Valuable Animal Fertilizer Pro

Thrown Away or Wasted.

Poultry manure is, by far, the most
valuable animal fertilizer commonly
produced and has been comparatively
little understood, In fact, much Of
II has been thrown away or carelessly
wasted. 1t contains more than twice
as much ammonia and phosphate as
sheep manure, and more than four
times as much as horse manure. II
can be kept In good condition more
easily than any other manure with

OBS Birthday

Joseph Patrick O'Brien, better
known as "o'B," has the proud dis
tinction of having been born on St.
Patrick's Day, March 18th. Conse-
quently the authenticated and gener-
ally respected st. Patrick is OPS
patron Saint. This is by way of in
PRODUCTION. o. B. is a popular mem
Der of the D. o. D. staff. He is also
an Elk and member of the entertain
ment committee of Penns Grove Lodge
of Elks who will give a "Frolic'
dance in the Parish hall, on Beach
Avenue, on the evening of st. Patrick's
natal day. 1t will be a big success,
because o. B. is going to pull hard for
it as a sort of birthday anniversary,
and the rest of the Committee are
with him to the limit. A handsome
souvenir program is being prepared
and there are other features that will
appeal to the young folks. Hitchner's
orchestra, of Woodstown, will furnish
the music.
