POULTRY IDEAS TESTED

To determine the soundness of
various ideas held by commercial
poultrymen, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has con-
Quoted experiments leading to rather
conclusive results. From a practi-
cal standpoint it is highly desirable
for poultrymen to improve, if posi-
BILE, the hatchability of eggs. to dis
tinguish pullets from roosters at an
early age, and to obtain other SINH
lar information commercially i'm
portant but battling. There has been
considerable divergence of opinion
on most of the questions.
Hatchability, says the department
probably is best improved by test
ing breeding birds for bacillary
white diarrhea, and eliminating af.
fected birds.
The size of eggs has no signifi-
cant effect on their hatchability.
There is no significant correla-
ton between either shape or weight
of egg and the sex of the chicken
Matched from it. Therefore, from a
practical standpoint, poultrymen can
not expect to influence the sex OF
chicks Matched by selecting eggs
according to either shape or size.
While there is a fairly definite
relation between the weight of eggs
and that of the chicks Matched
from them, there is no significant
difference in the weight of either
sex, and it is highly improbable that
purebred chicks can be separated
according sex at Matching time.
Male chicks grow faster than the
females, and as early as two weeks
of age there is a significant differ.
ence in the rate of growth between
the sexes.
The addition of skim milk to a ra.
tion induces much faster growth, the
difference being observable as early
as at the end of the second week
This points to the value of skim
milk in growing-chick rations.

TO INCREASE SPEED

Virginia's speed limits on high
ways will be increased if the gen.
eral assembly follows recommends
lions made by the State highway
commission in its report to Gov
ernor Trinkle, it was learned in
Richmond. These recommendations
are:
Increase in general speed limit
from 80 to 40 miles an hour, with
proviso that where accident occurs
when vehicle is being driven between
rs and 40 miles per hour the bur-
den of proof on the question of
recklessness shall be on the driver.
Vehicles approaching main
highway on interesting roads should
come to a stop before entering the
main highway.
Traffic at the intersection of two
main highways should reduce it's
speed to 20 miles per hour.
Vehicles on the right should hae
the right of way at the intersection
of main highways.
Speed limit through suburban de-
velopments should be rs miles per
hour, and through thickly built-up
sections and cities 20 miles. Small
towns would be prohibited from re-
ducing these limits.

LIKE TO VISIT

l like to visit friend and foe,
And see their stately august homes;
Grand mansions that cost lots of
dough,
With tinted walls and golden domes.
l envy these ancestral halls,
Where folks have spent their hard
earned Jack
But somehow, when the evening
falls,
l long for my own humble shack.
No Hamadans or Mosuls swell,
Enshroud my time worn, pine wood
floors;
Its just lowly place to dwell,
With smoky flues and creaky doors.
But anyway when shadows creep,
Announcing that the night is nigh /;
l sit me down and quietly weep,
When l am meath some foreign sky
Its just that gentle home like space,
That lures me with this unseen hand
Devoid of frills and fancy lace
Or anything that's rich and grand.
Its just because I'm like the rest,
Who wander DER the earthly loan
No matter what we think the best,
There is no place that equals home.

president of the College of William
and Mary, and Joseph H. Saunders,
superintendent of the city schools of
Newport News. superintendent of
the city and county schools also dis
cussed the subjects and in some in
stances advocated specific sources of
taxation for support of the state ed
vocational system.
Mr.. Hart declared that minimum
amount of $50 per pupil should be
spent in Virginia for a ten-months
session. He advocated several law
revisions in the county unit act and
declared the need of rural supervis-
ors to be imperative and stressed
the urgent needs of a proper recog-
milton by the public of the needs of
the school system

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER ~. 1925

In checking over your hundred
dollar bills which most of you use
for cleaning your nose glasses, watch
for a fatal error in dangerous
counterfeit. Treasury is spelled
Treasury on the spurious century
note and so if in your change you
have a hundred dollar note with this
mispelled word you may rest assured
it is a counterfeit. Thus far few OF
our subscribers have been caught by
the camoflouged certificate and but
few of them have reached the office
desk. These were Immediately
thrown in the waste basket. We
opine that the circulation of the
dangerous notes will not become cpl
demic in this section of the universe
for after paying taxes, for fuel rent,
groceries, clothing and contributing
to the 9S763 different drags and
drives which are always on, very few
hundred dollar bills are straying
about. However this is given you as
a warning to watch your change and
take no centuries whereon treasury
is spelled Treasury"

PUT NEW CHIN ON GRID VICTIM

Surgeons at the Hahnemann Hos
pital, Philadelphia, added another
feat to the science of plastic sur
gerry, which since the war has be-
come an important branch when they
successfully restored a deformed, re-
ceding chin to its normal appear
ance.
The patient, Benjamin Hanford,
of New York, received the injury a
few years ago while playing foot
ball. was treated by undermining
the tissue of the neck with implan-
tation of fat and connective tissue
cut from the abdomen. After the
first operation, the grated tissue
merged with the tissue of the chin,
which now has returned to its ma
tural proportions.

DOG RECEIPTS
T APPROPRIATED
Board of Supervisors Pay For
Hawks, Crows and Poultry

Although the dog fund of Shenan-
doah County amounted to approx
mately $4,000 for the year, yet there
are charges upon it on considerable
amounts, as appears from the war
rants issued by the clerk at the
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
on Monday.
For killing crows and hawks
S19250 was paid out to claimants
whose bills ranged from thirty
cents up. Tom Flynn, the mighty
nimrod of the middle section of the
county, headed the list with claim
for nine hawks and twenty-one
crows killed. His compensation was
$7.65. However Albert Estep killed
more hawks his number being 10,
Another who equalled the Flynn
hawk record was w. E. Hidden, who
killed nine.
For turkeys and chickens killed
by dogs the Board of Supervisors
paid out SS1.62, the largest amount
going to T. Glen Locke for turkeys
killed, 1882.
One hog fell afoul of the licensed
killers and $4,000 was allowed fol
the dead porker.
Sheep claims represented s396.7(
in the distribution, and Frank Bar
received the maximum amount pait
out $4,000. Sheep claims are pait
on the assessment value and not thu
appraisal value, as was once thu
rule.

In the olden days of conviviality
a few happy souls would get to-
gether and in a racuous voice sing
Down Where the WurZburger
Flows" The adenoid tenor would
mixup with the brittle bass, and the
resultant melody would sound like
a boiler factory tuning up to mil
lion dollar carillion. In these days
when thoraxes have become immu-
nized to the acteyline heat of bells
hilarousness there is no melody left,
and out of threats so scared with
such pyrene poison as would make a
full fledged salamander gag on luke
warm maccaroni, we sometimes hear
a quart laden quartet singing the
old songs in voices which even give
a complacent cat nausea. We heard
several of these birds warbling re-
Gently and when they strained the
strains of "Grandma's Teeth Will
Soon Fit Sister," we wondered if
moonshine had not taken most of
the melody out of the songs of long
ago.

CAN'T BUILD RY.
Pres. Loree's Scheme Nipped by In
terstate Commerce Commission

Washington-The interstate COM
merce commission has shattered the
dream Of l.. F. Loree, president Of
the Delaware & Hudson railroad, to
shorten the distance between Pitts
burgh and New York city by build
ing a railroad across the state of
Pennsylvania. This railroad was in
tended to link up with roads west of
Pittsburgh and establish another
trunk line into Chicago and the west.
The plan is opposed by eastern trunk
lines and the interstate commerce
commission ruled that the proposal is
uneconomic.
1t is limited that President Loree's
main purpose in advocating the new
line is to force eastern trunk line
managers to consider him in future
mergers. President Loree is an out
standing trade union opponent. He
and Judge Gary Of the steel trust
led the fight against collective bar
gaining in President Wilson's indus
trial conferences.

TAXATION PROPOSITIONS

The situation facing the city if the
taxation propositions to be settled on
Tuesday fail Of adoption was
thoroughly discussed at the meeting
of the Kiwanis Club on Tuesday
1t was stated that the Grimswald
act passed last spring requiring
pay-as-you-go system would render it
impossible for any public official or
school employe to perform their
duties unless the money to pay them
for their services was available.
The time of five years for which
the existing extra two mill levy was
granted is about to expire, and un-
less the request for the extra levy
now before the people is granted the
schools will be forced to close when
| the eXchequor is exhausted.
This same rule applies to the city
departments, and should the funds to
pay for services become exhausted
that particular department automati-
cally ceases to exist.
Then too, as more than half the
city's portion of the amount neces-
sary to build the subways was raised
years ago, and since that time has
been on deposit, drawing less money
than is paid as interest on the bonds,
would it not be good business prop
osition to raise the required balance
and get the job off our hands?
The people of jefferson street and
vicinity for years have been asking
for a bridge. The council took fav-
orable action on the proposition some
months ago, but further proceedings
was stopped and a referendum order
ed.
These are some Of the important
matters to be decided on Tuesday
which deserve thoughtful and careful
consideration before casting your
vote for or against them.
