TREES Die ON TIMBER
TRACT NEAR VIENNA
Dispatch To Philadelphia Paper Re-
ports Strange Occurrence On Tract
OF Timber Land Near Vienna.

Sharptown, Md. June 13. - A
strange sight has just been noticed
si>. miles below Vienna. On a tract
OF. pine timber Of 20 to 80 acres are
perhaps 500 to 1000 pines from to
80 inches in diameter, some are 70
feet. tall. They are all dead. The
lines of the tract can easily be
traced by the dead timber. Not a
tree is dead on the land nearby. Col
ored neighbors say the trees have
been, dead four years. The tale
goes that six years ago a white man
who owned property adjacent the
land of an old colored man made a
survey OF his land and in the sur
yey ran the line SO as to include the
tract referred to. The old colored
man demonstrated, but to no avail.
The white man established his line.
The colored man told the white man
the land he had robbed him of
would never do him any good. Two
years later the colored man died,
but lived to see that every tree large
enough to cut was dead on that
piece of land. The small trees and
Underground are apparently thrifty.

EARLY MATCHED FOWLS BEST
PuIIets Mature So That They Begin
to Lay in Fall When Fresh
Egg Supply Is Low.

Every fall hers take a vacation. In
doing so they have very important
business. on hand. Typically feminine
by nature they insist upon having a
new dress each fall. During their va
cation they are engaged in shedding
their old plumage and in growing new,
and their energy is so occupied in this
way that they lay few or no eggs
The process of mott or changing their
plumage" takes at least three months
on the average, and it is due to- this
three months vacation that the supply
of fresh eggs is so scarce during the
fall and winter. Early Matched pull
lets mature so that they begin to lay
in the fall and early winter, and it is
upon these early Matched pullets that
the poultry keeper must depend for
his supply of eggs during the time the
old hens are melting and resting from
their labors as egg producers. So if
you want eggs when the old hens have
quit laying, be sure that you hatch
early and have a nice bunch of early
Matched pullets coming along to sup
ply the eggs at that time.

Profession Saves Life.

During the riots In Londonderry,
when the old Roman city was divided
into hostile camps of belligerent
Protestants and Catholics, an associ-
ate of mine, who went there to report
the developments for the Times, was
arrested, first by one camp and later
by another. Each time he was re-
leased, and he was finally given the
freedom of the city. When asked
how it happened, he replied that, be-
ing charged with espionage, he was
closely questioned; but his fate was
decided by his answer to one leading
question, which both parties asked:
"Are you Catholic or ProtestantT
His reply was simple and effective.

Contrary to the usual belief of bee
keepers, the loss of heat through the
bottom of beehives otherwise insulat-
ed is very rapid, so that the insulation
on the top and sides is never used
to its full capacity, as so much Of
the heat escapes below. On the sup
position that heat RISES" it has been
the practice for beekeepers not to
lnsulate the bottoms of hives In which
bees are wintered. This Is serious
neglect which should b. remedied in
all commercial insulated hives, ac-
cording to United States Department

sulating Value Of Commercial Double
Walled Beehives, by B. F. Phillips,

Insulating Value.
Tests have been made of the In
sulating value Of eight different
types of hives. 1t Is clear from the
results Of these tests that leaving
any part of the hive without insula-
ton renders the escape Of heat at
that point easy. Some beekeepers, In
addition to leaving the bottoms Of
their hives unprotected, also leave the
fronts, facing the south, unpacked, on
the erroneous theory that the warm
ing Of the hive by the sun will over
come the loss Of heat at this point,

SELF-FEEDER FOR CHICKENS
Homemade Continuance Reported to
Department Of Agriculture From
Indiana Agent.

A good homemade self-feeder for
poultry reported to the United States
Department of Agriculture by the
county extension agent of Knox coun-
ty, Indiana, is one made Of an old
mower wheel, a barrel with both ends
knocked out, an old washtub, and a
small platform of rough boards. The
wheel Is first laid on the platform. The
barrel is then placed on the wheel,
filled with dry mash, and the tub
turned over the top of it for a cover. A
barrel should be used which leaves
just enough space between its edge
and the rim of the mower wheel to al
low room to feed. This prevents the
feed from being scratched outside the
rim.

Samples of honey are being received
by the United States Department of
Agriculture from beekeepers in all
parts Of the country in connection

color grades for extracted honey. A
new type of spectrophotometer will be
used in this work, which will be done
by agriculturists of the department in
cooperation with the division of

small loss In power cuts down the
amount of work done
In the case of the power-driven ma
chine, any disorder calls for greater
power to operate it. The horses or
the machine furnishing the power
work harder and approximately the
same results are accomplished. Hence
it is much easier to overlook a slight
indisposition on the part Of power
consuming machine than on the part
of the power producer
If any part through which power Is
transmitted Is loose, it may cause
reduction of power. The tractor OPP
orator should examine his machine
thoroughly every week or ten days to
prevent such loss. A bolt in the crank
case is loose, oil is lost. The adjust
valve is out of proper time and the
cylinder does not give full power.
The clutch is, not. adjusted to take
hold evenly. Slippage here causes
loss of power. Similar leaks may de-
velop in the fuel system and the igni-
ton system. Any Of these cause heavy
drains on the power. Usually they
can be quickly repaired If attended to
early. Left too long, they may re-
suit in a breakdown involving a larger
repair bill and loss Of much valuable
time.

that he detects the trouble In It's ear
