CONDUCTED BY J0H1TE. HAGE, All questions pertaining to poultry answered free of charge in this department. If you re quire an answer by mail, always enclose stamp Address Poultbt Dkpaetmekt, care of Akgus, Ooldsboro, N. C. Summer Conditions in Winter. If you would have hens lay at sea sons of the year when eggs are scarce and bringing a good price, the thing to do is to provide condi tions which will be conducive to egg production. Laying hens depend less upon seasons of the year than they do upon the weather, and this being the case, all poultry keepers should provide comfortable quarters for the hens at all seasons of the year. Why is it that the hens that are in a healthy and laying condi tion,- stop laying as soon as the first cold snap comet,"? It is a matter that is worthy of the attention of all poultrymen, and is a tenous thing when eggs are selling for twenty cents per dozen, There is a cause for this. It is not because of lack of food. It is not due to disease. The cause is lack of warmth. W bile the heat of the body comes from the food, yet the cold may be so in tense that digestion is not sufficient ly rapid to create the heat necessary to protect the bird against the cold. All the cold wind that touches the body, or air that is inhaled is warm -ed by the bird, and that waimth may be iost so rapidly as to cause the hen to suffer from the cold. iLgg production ceases because nature's first effort will be to protect the bird before it is permitted to do ex tra work in production. The remedy for this is simply to guard against loss of animal heat. '1 his may be done by keeping out the cold winds, by providing sheltered and sunny places for the hens by feedirg warm food and giving warm water, and by giving the hens fcheir grain food in such a way as to induce exercise and keep them busy from early morning until night. If you wish your hens to lay in winter as they do in summer, they must have sum mer conditions. A great many people compel their fowls to roost in an old "lean to shed," with a leaking roof and cracks all around the sides three inches wide, under the im pression that it is healthier for the fowls and that it will keep down lice. There never was a greater mis take! Such a house i?) as that causes the birds to take cold, which results in croup; and is an excellent harbor for vermin. It is impossible to keep such a house clean, and filth is the forerunner of nearly all the diseases to which fowls are subject. If you allow your fowls to roost in such a shed as that you are guilty of one of the meanest and most contemp tible acts that the human and civi lized race is capable of, that of cruelty to dumb animals! A HOUSE FOR ONE FLOCK A house 10 ft long, 8 ft wide, 7 ft high in front and 5i ft high at the back is large enough to accommo date 15 hens comfortably. 1 he roof should be covered with tarred roof ing paper, and the cracks all around ihe side should be battened with 3 inch stuff to prevent draughts. On the south side should be placed two eash with four 8 x 10 lights each. These should be hinged so' that they may be opened in the day time to purify the house. Place droppings boards 3 ft wide across the tack of the house about 2 ft above the sills. 'This arrangement x allows you tg place the nest boxes under the droppings boards, and enables the - hens to eDjoy the rest of the floor space as a scratching room, which should be covered about 10 inches deep with straw or leaves in which all their grain food should be thrown. CiltlT BOX. The mongrel has dwindled in size like a fallen leaf and is left to with er and it does wither, and shrink, OUR POULTRY DEPARTME and wrinkle, and look blue; and be cause it won't sell the man who owns it says there is no money in poultry. Bless your heart, that's not poultrj! If you have any good- poultry to sell advertise! If you have anything to sell advertise! I had chickens and eggs to sell, I advertised them, and before the ad. was run two weeks, I sold, ail my surplus stock and had more orders for eggs than I could fill. An advertisement in the "Aegus" has given me trade. It will you if you advertise in it. Try it. Pure-bred poultry is as much bet ter than "mongrel" stock as a "Shorthorn" steer is b tter than a "Pennyroyal" steer; as much better as an up-to-date "Berkshire" or "Poland-China" is better than a "Razor Back Hog.". BUILD LOCOMOTIVES. Tlie Acme Machine Works .Re ceived Two Engines Last night For Repairs. Daily Argus, Friday Nov. 1. .Sonne d&ys ago we mado men tion of the fact that the Acme Machine Works of this city was buildicg a large locomotive for the A. & R. Railroad). Thii puce of work, wbich has been admirab ly done, is now neaiing cump'e tion, and this morning about 8:30 o'clock two more large loromo- tivts roiled in'o their yad to be overhauled. One came from the Cpa Fear and Northern Railroad, aud was brought in under its own steam, over the Southern Railway last night by its own engineer, Capt. W. J. A gier, whose krtber, Mr. G. W. Angier, is general man" ager, eecretary end treasurer of the road. Toe engine is I erhaps the largest that the Acme has had to rebuild so far. It bas tix driv ing wheels, weighs 50 tons, end cost $10,000 when new. It is a wood burner and was bui't unJer the plsns and tpecifications drawn by the engineer whose hand pulls its throttle. The fact that the engine was brought in under its own steam shows that it i-i not in such bad condition. It would run for years without repairing,- but the engineer in charge knows tnd sees the little defects that are be ginning to show end it is for the purpose of repairicg them and to improve the appearance or the engine tt at it is now in the yards of the Acme Machine Woiks. Mr. B. N. Dake, the great cigarette king, of Durham, is the president oftheCi pe Fesr and North e n Railroad, which starts from Apex on the S. A. L., and is making its way towards Fayetteville. The other engine which came in last nigh is from the Aberdeen and Rockfish Rwilroad, and is not quite so largo or in quite as gocd condition as the one above men tioned. The Acme Machine Works rebuilt a locomotive for this road some time ago and th'S second order is evidence of the satisfac tion given on th ir first order. That work of such a character can be done here .in Goldsboro is a source of gratification to all our citizens. This may be but tfce beginning of a great loccmctive factory in Goldsboro, and no man can foretell the end thereof. - Anton Dvorak, the faro pus music ian, has been accorded a rare dis tinction by the Emperor of Austria He is the first musical composed who has been made a member of the ; Austrian House of Lords He was the son of an innkeeper.
