Established 1899 Chickens in Fail of the Year Some Valuable AJvice train an Experienced Poaltryman. Written for the Democrat. Do not allow your chickens to crovvd at night—as you will have runts among them sure, besides sowing the seeds for this winters crop of colds and roup. It is the chicks nature to crowd and huddle close together at night, and inio cause.- meai 10 sweat and then when they c me out in the cool mornings it ma ; es them take colds, and you woiidt r where on earth they- caught cold. Tiie more room they are giver and fresh air, the stronger tht} will become, and if possible ! et them roost out until the cold weather comes, as ycu will npt be bothered with colds or mite?- either. Most of the failures in raisi: g poultry is crowded quarters ana over run with lice and mites. This is an awful month for I ce to thrive, and they are dav \ y uay sapping your chicks liie ana lessening your profit in poultry raising. Clean out the roosting places of your chicks once a week and spray the pile and w»'h crude carbolic acid and kerosine oil mixed in the water. If you will use plenty of kero sine oil on your roosting poles you will not be bothered with scaly legs or mites either. Sell off ail hens *now while they are moulting, as the first year of a hens life is the most profitable if you want them for their eggs, this will give more room for your young ullets, and more food also. Give the chickens plenty of fresh water these hot days, at least three times a day, and keep their drinking vessels in the sl.ade, as tepid or hot water is injurious to them during hot weather. Feed the youngsters a wet mash once or twice a day, corn meal and bran with blood food occasionally and it seasoned with a little pepper and salt, mix with milk if you have it and watch them grow. This makes them take on flesh and develop rapidly. , March hatched pullets should be laying now it you have done your part. Milk (skimmed, sweet or sour) is one of the best feed for grow ing chicks, and it will pay double the profit when turned into poul try than it will when fed to pigs. Give it to the youngsters to drink. If you are through hatching, break up your pens and sell off the old cocks, all but the choice ones. They are a nuisance with their quarrelsome habits. :and are a living expense to you. Watch your growing stock, if any lag behind seperate them, and give them a better chance. Change the materials in the hens nest and sprinkle the bot tom of the nest with kerosine oil which will help keep down the Birds properly managed dur ing the summer months will not disappoint you in giving eggs in the winter when prices are high. Do not keep any drones, puny or diseased chicks on your place, kill them off and only keep the ones that are healthy and active. You, cannot expect to raise strong chicks from weakly parent stock. Remember that cleanliness is a great factor in the success of those who raise poultry. Feed your chicks all they will eat of every variety you can, as they soon get tired of one kind of grain and do no* grow fa3t. If you have any fresh corn on the cob feed all you can to them as this is very nourishing to them. Now is a good time to plan liow to house your birds, don't ■wait until the winter is here, and no place to care for them, also provide your places to plant rve and clover as this is the month to plant it. The green food is very neces sary to keep them healthy and active, and makes the fertility of the egg better. I have some of mv wonderful "Crystal" White Orpington pullets weighing six pounds and laying rierht along that were hatched from the Ist to 10 r h of March. The publiciscordially in vited to come to my home at any time to see these beautiful birds. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAST OR J A THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT Ivey Dots.

Miss May Brown from Kings Mountain was here last week visiting, her Aunt, Mrs. Arney. Success to the Democrat. IOTA. Wood's Crop Special. "Wood's Crop Special" for September, says—"lt is always advisable, in our opinion, for farmers to put in as much of their land as they can in the fall. We nearly always get seasona ble growing weather during the fall and the early spring, and crops sown in the fall not only furnish a cover crop for the soil, but are growing and thriving at seasons which in recent years have proved most atvantageous in our southern soils and climate. We would therefore 4 urge our farmers to sow all the land pos sible in suitable crops this fall, so as to provide against the repi tition of short feed crops another year." "Woods Crop Special" is issued monthlv and gives timely and seasonble information about seeds that can be planted to ad vantage and profit each month throughout the year. Write for sample copy to T. T. WOOD & SONS, Seedsmen, Richmond, Va. Mrs. Sarah Austin, of Marion, died Sunday and the remains passed through the city Tuesday, enroute to Lenoir where the fu neral was held in the afternoon.

SEPTEMBER 14, 1911. Work On The Central High- way. Good Roads Circular, no. 75. Recent reports from the trus tees of the Central Highway in the counties from Carteret cr the East to Madison County on the west show that work is pro gressing very satisfactorily in most of the counties. The Leg islature of 1911 authorised the construction of this Centra. 1 Highway, allowing each county to appropriate SSO per mile, but not making any definite appro priation for the location or con struction on the highway. It provided that the Geological Sur vey should decide on the location without providing funds at ali tor this work; and as the Geolo gical Survev already has more work on hand than it can accom plish with the yery meagre ap propriation given it, it would have made impossible the task of locating this Central Highway but for the very active co-opper ation of the United States Office of Public Roads, which furnished four engineers for a good por tion of the summer to assist in this great highway work. Re cent reports, however, show that the work is progressing very sat is factorily in Carteret County, from Morehead City to the Cra ven Countv line; very active work is being carried forward in Craven County; the work be ginning August 7. Jones County nas twenty-five or more men at work. Lenoir County has begun active work and expects to con tinue until the highway is com pleted; Wayne has a county road force of fortv men, which will continue to work for four months; > Johnson County has employed an engineer out of her own funds and during the week of August 7, which was known as Central Highway week, had about seven ty-five citizens and twenty-seven convicts at work on the road; Wake County expects to put three squads of men on this Gentral dighway, and during Central Highway week a small force of nen was at work in Cary Town ship; Durham reports that thirty teams were hauling for the high way and would continue for thirty Jays, Orange makes no report, nor does Alamance; Guilford jounty will build the one gap that leeds to be fixed in that county; Davidson County contributed considerable free labor the Cen tral Highway week and the coun ty has just recently appropriated ISO per mile for the building of the road through this county; Rowan reports active progress in the construction Of the highway; Iredell is constructing it out of the bond issue recently passed; Catawba has appropriated her SSO per mile for work on the nigh way; Burke is doing nothing; McDowell contributed free labor during Central Highway week and is working on the highway; Buncombe will have her portion of the road ready by the autumn test; Madison County Is not mak ing very rapid-progress. About 25 percent of the high way will be newly located road. In connection with the highway a number of men and corporations have obligated to build a number of one-mile sections of road through the western part. In a number of counties the convicts are being used and private sub scriptions are being made to pro vide for the maintenance of the road. The greater Dart of this great highway will be sand-clay, though there will be considerable stretches of macadam, especially in the Piedmont section. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church REV. T. H.

Hiidebran Out For Good Roads Town May Spend SIOO 01 Its Money on tbe Higaway. Correspondence pf the Democrat: Hiidebran, Sept. 11.—We are in the midst of fodder making. Some farmers are picking cotton. But we were not all too busy to attend good roads meeting the 7th at 2 o'clock. While there was not a very good turn out, still there was a great deal of interest manifested. Prof. Varner gave us s >me good advice on road building and how to mantain them. We all heartily endorsed the plan and formed a good roads club with J. W. Beach, president, and B. G. Setzer vice president, O. M. Yo der secretary and treasurer. We are going to push everything for what it is worth to get old Burke County to do her share toward the Central Highway. The incorporation of Hiidebran has about SIOO she talks of spend ing on the road through the town. So you see we mean business. We have got a Farmers Union started at the Abernathy school house, which is on the line for better advancements on all sub jects, farming, dairying, poultry raising, and any thing for the good of the countv, good roads as well. Yes, I liked to have forgot that our genial and witty friend from Morganton, Bro C. M. Mc- Kesson came down with Frof. Varner and gave us a good talk on education and other subjects. We are always 'glad to have Charley with us. All good wishes for the Dem ocrat. A Batch of Marriages. Married at the residence of H. A. Adams in Burke County. Sept. 7th. Mr. Fritz Matnerly to Miss Lizzie Foster, both at Brook ford. On the 10 inst. Mr. Joe Mull and Miss Mamie Icard were hapnily married at the same residence, both of Catawba Coun ty. They were accompanied by a large number of friends. At the close of the ceremony the ladies gave the bride a shower of rice. P. A. Adams was the officiating magistrate. Lenoir College Opens Splen- didly. At the end of the second day the en rollment had reached 180, by far the greatest-body of students ever gathered at Lenoir College in its history on the second opening day. The enrollment should reach at least 200 by the end of the first week. All this goes to show that Lenoir Col lege has an opportunity to do a very useful service in life if its friends will let it do so by furnishing the necessary 1 buildings and equipment for the work. The student body gathers from a wider and wider territory in North Carolina, stretching eastward and westward in its scope. Hickory is an ideal location for a school, especially from the stand | point of health. The work of the session; without fuss or flurry was opened on Tuesday morn ing and at once got down to work. On Thursday evening the usual "get-ac quainted-social" was held, when Rev. Wannemacher delivered a brief, yet appropriate address to the gathered young people and friends, after which a most enjoyable hour was spent in learning persons and faces of the stu dent family for the year. The large crowd of students now en rolled makes all the more imperative the success of the campaign for the Yoder Memorial Building. The room is now sorely needed and must be forth com ing in order that this large student body may be accommodated. Three new teachers enter the Facul ty this year, Prof. Patterson, who was with us formerly but now returns after three years post graduate work in the best Universities in the land. Prof. W. A. Rudisill comes to us after two years preparation and post graduate work in the University of North Carolina. Miss Messenger comes to the Art Depart ment from Johnstown, Penn. The attendance bids fair to reach 250 this year, and with the addition of the Yoder Memorial Building erected this year, the enrollment next year should reach the 300 mark. Every one of our people should keep well informed of the College and read carefully every issue of the College Bulletin, for it is making improvements every short I while.

It is a rare occurance for snow and Easter to be upon us at the same time as it was the case last Sunday, Snow began falling here about 9 o'clock, and tinued rapidly until about the same hour the foliowiuer morn ing. Owing to the warmth of the earth the snow melted as it fell for seyeral hours, but at the time it ceased, the ground was covered to the depth of about six inches. At first there seemed to be a great deal of mystery about the murder of Miss Caroline Tomp son, of Alexander county, but now it seems that every one connected with this atrocious crime will be found out. Mil stead and Payne were arrested soon after the crime was com mitted, but for the want of ev idence they were released. Dock ery and Davis were sent to the penitentiary, and Elijah Church was taken from Newton jail and lynched. And now we learn that another man named Bruce, has been lodged in Taylorsville jail. Thoroughbred Hogs Probably no one in this coun ty takes more interest in thoro brea hogs and cows than our townsman, Mr. A. L. Shuford. He has always given attention, and is now devoting all his time in this direction, —He has just completed his new residence near Claremout College, and will move there in April, and no pains will be spared in Catawba. He recently purchased a thoro bred calf at a very heayy ex pense, and about two weeks ago he received two fine Berkshire sows, 18 months old, and while they were nine days on the road they were properly cared for and received in good condition. Catawba Wine There may be a great many citizens of Catawba county who do not know that the name "Ca tawba'* has a national reputation in connection with a very popu lar and celebrated grape wine. In referring to this the Wine and Ale Vault, a newspaper publish ed in Troy, New York in a re cent issue says: "The wine of this name, now so' celebrated in this country, was named from its grape,which was first found growing on the banks of the Ca tawba river, in North Carolina. The late Mr. Longworth, of Cin cinnati, 0., was nearly the first to put the wine on the market, and, with much care and ex pense he succeeded in producing a wine that compares favorable with the very best of imported wines. The finest kind of Cataw ba wine now commands a high price." Presbyterian Church Notes. The Pastor will preach at both services next Sunday. The Covenanters will hold their monthy business and social meet ing next Friday night night. Mr. Garth will give a short account of his stav in Chicago, and tell about the air ships, etc. Service in West Hickory next Sunday at 4 p. m. The new church magazine, '"The Missionary Survey" will be issued in November. This will take the place of the old mis sionary magazine. Mull-Icard. Correspondence of the Democrat. Bandy's Township, Sept. 12. — Miss Mayme Icard, daughter of Calvin Icard, of Burke county, and Joe Mull, Junior partner of the Young & Mull Co. of Cataw ba county, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Sunday, Sept. 10.

The opinion f Judge Risden Tyler Bennett, of Wadesboro, one of tne state's errand old men, is to be valued as highly as any other Tar Heel livi ig. He is a keen observer, although like Cas siusat no other point. We can assure him of the appreciation of this entire section of his kindly and voluntary tribute, which he sends the Democrat and which is given herewith: ' The town of Hickory is the most promising town in our state. Gen. Hill used to say of Char lotte half dishabille it was the future London of the south. Harvey Wilson was the wisest man I have known. He said the section of our state between the Pee Dee and and the Catawba rivers, from the South Carolina iine to the top of the Alleghanies was as desirable as any part of the United States. Think of the possibilities re maining ungathered tnerein. Mineral waters,—deep down lies the truth. Creature comforts; the best cabbage grown outside the Garden of Eden are raised in Watauga.
