An examining physician for one of the

FOR THE
Army Hospital and Individual Prep
arations Making at
Asheville.
Asheville. American army officers
wounded while abroad are not going
to be nearly so badly off as the term
"wounded" might at first imply, if they
are to be sent to Asheville for "recon
struction" and the restoration of their
nervous system. Preparations here,
both by the government and by the
leading women of the city, Indicate
that life for the soldiers will be mad-3
as pleasant as possible during their
sojourn in Asheville.
To start with the wounded men will
be quartered at Kenilworth Inn.,de
signed as a high class resort hotel and
only turned over to the government as
a hospital for the period of the war,
after representations had been made
showing that the use of the hotel waa
absolutely necessary. The hotel Is de
signed throughout on the highest class
scale, and the grounds Immediately
surrounding it are the most beautiful
and picturesque to be imagined.
Located in a dense grove, at the top
of a high hill, the new hospital will
have all the advantages of a splendid
view, together with a shelter from
any harsh winds, and while complete
ly isolated from city life, is yet within
a stone's throw of the street car line.
Aside from the plans made by the
government the women of this sec
tion organized under the leadership
of Mrs. Thomas S. Rollins, are prepar
ing to look after the convalescents,
and see that they have plenty of diver
sion and fresh air. For this purpose
the ladies have obtained pledges of a
number of automobiles, and each car
will be manned by a driver and a good
looking girl in uniform, who will act
as orderly, seeing to the wounded sol
dier's wants and explaining the vari
ous points of interest to which the
wounded men will be driven. Women
and girls are entering enthusiasically
into the spirit of this work, and every
indication points to slow recoveries
on the part of the soldiers in order
j that they may longer enjoy the good
J time that is going to be provided for
, them.
Enemy Alien Held.

assault. Kynast was an attendant at
the State Hospital and according to
the charges, knocked down and pain
fully injured William Driver, a 60-year-old
patient.
Kynast, who recently registered as
an enemy alien with the chief of po

saulted him and he struck the man in
self-defense. Hospital authorities,
however, declare that Driver is a
peaceable patient and has never been
known to attempt an assault upon any
one. North Carolinians Best Shots.

SMALL FLOCK OF CHICKENS SHOULD . '
PRODUCE ENOUGH EGGS FOR FAMILY
!1a ' ft 4
FLOCK FOR PRODUCTION
tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.)
The keeping of a small flock of lay
ing hens on a town or village lot or
in a city back yard is an important
branch of poultry keeping. Though
the value of the product from each
flock Is small of Itself the aggregate is
large. The product of such a flock,
both in the form of eggs and fowls for
the table, may be produced at a rela
tively low cost, because of the possi
bility of utilizing table scraps and
kitchen waste which would otherwise
be thrown away. A small flock of hens,
even as few as six or eight, should
produce eggs enough, where used eco
nomically, for a family of four or five
persons throughout the entire year, ex
cept during the molting period of the
fall and early winter. By the preser
vation of surplus eggs produced dur
ing the spring and early summer this
period of scarcity can be provided
for. The keeping of pullets Instead of
hens also will insure the production of
eggs at this time. Not only will the
eggs from the home flock materially re
duce the cost of living, but the su
perior freshness and quality of the
eggs are In themselves well worth the
effort expended. Eggs are a highly
nutritious food and are so widely used
as to be almost indispensable, and an
occasional chicken dinner Is relished
by everyone.
Where conditions render it feasible
and cheap small flocks of poultry
should be kept to a greater extent
than at present by families in villages
and towns, and especially In the sub
urbs of large cities. The need for this
extension of poultry raising is partic
ularly great In those sections where
the consumption of poultry products
exceeds the production with the result
that prices aue high.
Kind of Fowls to Keep.
Householders usually desire not only
eggs for the table and for cooking, but
also an occasional chicken to eat. For
this reason one of the general purpose
breeds, such as the Plymouth Iioek,
Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, or Or
pington, is preferable to the smaller
; egg breeds, such as the Leghorns. Not
! only do the mature fowls of those
breeds, because of their larger size,
make better table fowls than the Leg
! horns, but the young chickens for the
same reason make better friers and
. roasters, whereas chickens of the egg
breeds are only suitable for the emall
1 er broilers. The general-purpose
breeds are also "broody" breeds, the
hens making good sitters and mothers,
which Is a decided advantage when it
is desired to hatch and raise chickens,
since the hens of the egg breeds sel
dom go broody and are in any event
rather unreliable sitters and mothers.
If. however, the production of eggs
j outweighs the desire for an occasional
! table fowl, the lighter egg breeds un-
doubtedly will be found better, he
cause they lay as many eggs and do
so on less feed, with the result that
they produce the eggs more cheaply.
It is by all means advisable to keep
some pure breed or variety. Where
this Is done, sales at a profitable fig
ure can often be made of breeding
stock which It is Intended to market
or of eggs for hatching.
Size of Flock.
The size of the flock which can he
most efficiently kept will depend first
of all upon the space available and,
secondly, upon the amount of table
scraps or other waste which is avail
able for feed. It is a mistake to try to
overstock the available space. Better
results will be obtained from a few
hens In a small yard than from a
larger number. The back-yard poultry
flock rarely will consist of over 20 or
2.j hens and In many cases of not more
than eight or ten, or occasionally of
only three or four. For a flock of 20
to 25 hens a space of not less than 25
by 30 feet should be available for a
yard. Where less space is available,
the size of the flock should be reduced,
allowing on the average 20 to 30
square feet per bird. A few hens are
sometimes kept successfully with a
smaller yard allowance than this, hut
if the space Is available a yard of the
size Indicated should he used.
Procuring Stock.
The best way for the city poultry
keeper to procure hens is to purchase
them in the fall. An effort should he
n ade to obtain pullets rather than old
er hens, and the pullets selected should
b well matured, so that they will be
gin to lay before Ihe cold weather sets
In. Evidences of the maturity of pul
lets are the development nnd red color
of the comb and n size and growth
which are good for the breed or va-
OF EGGS AND MEAT.
riety. Hens will lay little or no eggs
during the fall and early winter, while
they are molting. Well-matured pul
lets, however, should lay fairly well
during this period, so that an imme
diate return is realized from the in
vestment. The purchasing of pullets
in the fall Is preferable in most cases
to purchasing day-old chicks or to
hatching chicks in the spring. Usual
ly there Is little space available for
the raising of chicks, and, moreover,
many city dwellers have had no experi
ence in raising them. Under these
conditions the results are apt to be
very poor. Hatching and rearing chicks
also necessitates broody hens for this
purpose, or else investing money in
artificial apparatus such as Incubators
and brooders". Such an investment is
often too great to prove profitable with
the average small flock. If chicks are
raised, they must be fed throughout
the summer and no return will be ob
tained until the pullets begin to lay In
the fall, except that the males can be
eaten or sold.
Buying New Stock.
When pullets are to be purchased. It
is well if possible to go to some farm
er or poultryraan who may be known j
to the prospective purchaser. In some
cases it may pay to make arrange
ments with the farmer to raise the de
sired number of pullets at an agreed
price. Where the householder does not
have an opportunity to go into the
country for his pullets, he can often
pick them out among the live poultry
shipped into the city to be marketed.
The advice of some one who knows
poultry should be sought In making
such a purchase, to make sure that pul
lets or young hens are obtained, and
that the stock Is healthy. . Often the
local poultry associations are glad to
help the prospective poultry keeper to
get stock by putting him In communi
cation with some of Its members hav
ing stock for sale. Sometimes the
local board of trade or chamber of
commerce Is glad to help to bring to
gether the prospective purchaser and
the poultry raiser.
CONTROL OF THE GYPSY MOTH
Severity of Infestation Important Fac
tor in Determining Which Method
Should Be Used.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Gyps moth in orchards can be con
trolled by a number of methods, the
severity of Infestation being an impor
tant factor in which method should be
used. If only a few egg clusters are
present In the orchard, early spraying,
such as is applied for the codling moth
after the blossoms have fallen, will be
found useful, providing the amount of
poison used Is Increased to ten pounds
to 100 gallons of water. - If the infesta
tion is more serious, a second spraying
early In June, using a similar amount
of poison, will be found very satisfac
tory. In cases where the infestation
is severe It probably will be necessary
to creosote egg clusters in the winter
and spray Ln the spring if the insect is
to be controlled. In any case, thor
oughness is a prime essential if good
results are to be secured.
AU poor or hollow trees should be
removed, and If badly Infested wood
land Is nearby the orchard trees
should be banded with the sticky sub
stance previously mentioned 'or with
tree-banding material. Orchard . In
festations can be managed by follow
ing up these methods, and It will not
require much additional expense or a
great deal of extra work to protect the
trees. In making this statement It Is
assumed that the orchard is being
cared for by up-to-date methods for
protection from the codling moth and
other Injurious insects and diseases,
and It Is Improbable that these results
can be brought about in neglected or
chards or where the owners do not
practice the best horticultural methods
in handling their growing trees.
POOR COCKEREL IS HANDICAP
Not Only Should Male Bird Be Pure
bred, but He Should Be From
Strain of Producers.
The poor cockerel Is a grut handi
cap to progressive poultry raising. Not
all poor cockerels are mongrels; there
are many poor birds among the recog
nized breeds. Au effort should be
made to get the best to head the dock.
Not only should the cockerel be pure
bred, but he should be from u strain
of producer.
ENGLISH HEDGES MUST GO
One of War's Results Will Be a Change
to American Style of Land
scape Gardening.
One of the pretty features of the
English landscape will undergo dras
tic changes as a result of the great
agricultural program this year. Hedge
rows In nfany places will have to go
down find thousands of trees which
have wide-spreading roots must be re
moved to allow plowing. It is Be
llved by many that the result after
the war will be the adoption of the
American style of landscape, with
lawns minus fences and hedges sur
rounding homes.
When Sir Herbert Tree returned to
England from America shortly before
his death he extolled the American
system, but the English did not take
kindly to his idea, as the English
people believed their privacy would be
Infringed and they feared the beautiful
lawns would be .ruined by trespassers.
