I KEEPING CHICKENS IN COLD - inexperienced Poultry Raisers Make 'Mistake in Furnishing Quarters That Are Too. Warm. One of the nUstakesmade by nearly ; all. the Inexperienced poultry raisers is 1 j in 'keeping the chickens too warm ' in ' "winter. They cannot bring themselves to believe that the hen is so warmly clad that .it can live in the open like .'.a quaiU partridge, prairie chicken and k r other - wild fowL . ; V v :":: No one would think of furnishing warm quarters for the sparrow or the wild pigeon. Feathers are non-conduc-... tors J and as -comfortable as furs.; They. are ' so thickly placed on. the chicken that the - cold .cannot get through nor can the "body heat ;get out. The only shelter; tht a chicken really needs is - from wet and from drafts ' v A chicken that: Is inured to cold -weather is not so apt to get sick. " Majiy coop are xoen in Iront, only curt&lili .of burlap or some other cheap material being providetDto protect the chicken ,from stormy weather. - GEESE ARE MORE PROFITABLE - Give TJ?em" Good Pasture and About . One-Half the Care, and Worry ,v . . r rThat the Turkeys Receive. . 1. If yoa have got tired of running all over, the neighborhood hunting your - turkeys try geese. Gejt a good pair of Toulouse Goose. pure-bred Toulouse, or if .you prefer white ones the Embdens are all right, but not quite, as large. Give them a good grassy pasture, and about one half c the care and worry you would give" turkeys and you will have, more money at the end of the year. Cheap-Insect Powder.' ' An excellent Insect powder may bo made by following the formula - given below: Take three parts of gasoline and addone part of crude i carbolic acldrV Mix these together and add gradually, stirring constantly, enough "..plaster 'of paris to take up , all the moisture. Stir so thoroughly that-the liquid will be uniformly distributed "through the plaster.. This mixture, when' dry, will be a pinkish brown powder, having a carbolic odor. For lice or mites on fowls, thoroughly dust and work the powder through the feathers. On about the third day give a second dusting. This will rid the birds of all Insects. dacds Kitchin Was in Harmony With Senator Simmons. Albemarle Enterprise. Governor " Kitchen has en deavored to make capital out of Senator Simmons' position on the lumber tariff, and would further his own candidacy by making it 1 appear that the Senator is not in line with his party upon this question. 'Tis true that in the campaign of 1908 the State Dem oratic platform declared for the .removal of tariff on lumber. But it is likewise true that, under the full heat of campaign discussions, it became necessary for the Democratic party to ex plain its position more fully upcm this plank of the platform, and this was .done in.a circular sent out from the State Democratic headquarters as an amendment to the Democratic handbook; for that year. . This circular, of which there were 40,000' printed and sent out,: explained that ; the Democratic party stood . for , the removal of the tariff upon lumber only upon tb e condition that the tariff upon all machinery entered into the manufacture of lumber; should'? likewise be re moved. About taat time, . Con gressman : .Claude Kitchin brother of Governor -" Kitchen made two or more speecnes in $ tanley county, and some of'our more prominent Democrats who heard him say that he forcibly set forth this explanatory view and his' speeches were in .je very respect in hearty accOrdrwith the position held by Senator Sim mons upon this r self -same ques tion. As a matter of fairness to Senator Simmons, and in "order that the full truth be known, it is a matter of right 'that thej facts become known, since the advocates of the Governor and his brother cite both as the liv in$r embodiment of 'Democratic virtues and. truth. It would seem to us that Senator Simmon's is wholly consistent, and . that Congressman . Kitchen is ; not in harmony witti his own expressed sentiments of the campaigne of 1908, fori there is no doubting that his speeches in Stanly couii ty in the campaign of 1908 would fully exonerate Senator Simmons of tne charsres now being ad vanced by Governor Kitchen.: Negotiable Paper In the World.

Of these, 315, 147 miles are in North and South America; 203,246 in Eu rope, the remainder, about 95, 000 miles, in Asia Africa and Oceania. ' The average value in E irope, per kilometre (five- eights of a mile) is about $80,000. In tne otner countries tne aver age is but $43,000. International commerce at the end of 1910 is valued at from 26 to 27 billion dollars; public debts iniuropean) contractea in war. preparations are over 30 billion dollars: Tne annual war debt is over'a "billion. In con clusion M. Alfred Newmarch, who co'mpild the figures says: Never were there more nego tiable papers'. Never was the international commerce figure higher: never was there a great er number of miles of railways in exploitation. Never were the public debts bigger; the war budgets larger, or taxes so high. Never was the taxpayer more heavily burdened. Two Pickerel on One Line. IA. humble and honest fisherman Who set his . traps for pickerel on a Maine pond the other day is ready-to make affidavit as follows: "I hereby declare on oath that I did catch two pickerel on one hook. The first pick erel, swallowed the bait and didn't like it. Apparently he tried to cough It up. At any rate he spewed-, the hook out under his gills and it floated off: In the water to be grabbed by a second pickerelv Thus there came up two pickerel, all strung on a line. ' Lewis ton Journal.
