Wealth Buried in an Dat Pile

Scooping oats from bin in a barn
on his farm near Loyett, Cambria
county, Pa, David Knapper found an
old wallet buried among the grain
Opened, it revealed negotiable sccur:-
ties and thrift stamps to the value of
S17,450 Investigation disclosed that
the wallet was the property of John
Hogentogler, who was killed on .Tanu-
airy 10, when a falling tree struck him
on the head while he was employed
on the Knapper farm. lie was I'M
married and had been working for
Knapper for two years.
Following his death, brother,
Charles Hogenpgler, was appointed 40
ministrator of an estate consisting of a
small piece of property, which had
been left by the dead man. Until
the finding of the wallet it was not
known by any other than Hogentogler
himself that he had possessed a small
fortune.
Knapper stated that he believed
that Hogentogler, while employed on
the farm, had used the oats bin as a
hiding place for his accommodating
wealth. After the accident he did not
regain consciousness and consequent
ly could not tell anyone of his treasure.
The old oats bin was nearly empty
when the well-stuffed wallet was
found. 1t was turned over to Charles
Hogentogler, who lives in Portage.

Something About Ducks.

Ducks are usually mated in hocks Of
about 80 females with five or six males
as the brakes do not fight one another.
The number OF males may be reduced
to one for every seven females about
the first of March, and again changed
a month later to one male for eight
to ten females.
Active, healthy females of medi-
um size should be used for breeding
that is, weighing about eight pounds
when mature. Only mature birds
should be used as breeders. Select
ducks with short necks, medium lone
bodies, Hat back, and of good depth
to the keel bones. Watery eyes usually
are sign Of weakness in ducks. The
drake is coarser and more masculine
IN appearance than the duck, and has 2
distinct curl in his tail feathers. Ducks
should be sold, usually, after they are
TWO years old, although the best breed
ers or layers may be kept over thei,
third year, say poultry specialists ir
the United States Department of Ag.
riculture
In handling ducks, pick them I'D b,
their necks, as their legs are yer,
easily broken. Ducks lay their eggs
early in the morning, and should be
confined to the house or pen until e.3C
or 10 O'Clock in the morning. II al.
io"ed TO roam early in the morning
they may lay in a pond or stream and
the eggs may be host.

hens are kept the trays should have
total surface of 700 square inches,
and 100 square inches fed daily and
this space again filled with soaked

From records covering ten years
in the Connecticut egg-laying contest
Il is known that a Leghorn will con-
sumo on the average about IS pounds
of feed in year and the Rocks, Reds
and Wyandottes from IS to 90 pounds.
The average price of grain and mash
last year for the contest was SleO a
hundred, and the cDst of the light
breeds per hen was SLAB, and the
heavy breeds, Sill. Allowing for the
cost of oyster she'll, etc, at present
prices hen can be fed a full ration
throughout the year for $500. On
the demonstration farms in this State
the feed last year cost about Sl.S5 per
hen on the average-reDrds for
4,534 hens. The cost Of grain is less
