BAGNALL SUED FOR $10,000! THE RECTOR SUES FOR $25,000! THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR No.34 IN UNION IS STRENGTH THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR BAGN ELECTRICITY USED ON MANY FARMS Missouri Farmers Enjoy all the Luxuries Found in a Modern City Home. POWER USED IN OAIRIES ALSO Motors Supply Power for Running Separators and to Force Water Through Buildings. From Bay County, Missouri, comes an interesting account of how electricity has been put to many uses. Two dairy farms and one stock farm have direct connection with the plant of the Excelsior Springs Water, Gas & Electric Company, which furnishes not only the electricity for power and light in the city of Excelsior Springs, but supplies current to towns nine miles northeast, fourteen miles west and nine miles south. The three electrically equipped farms have their own power lines, the company building the branches, putting in all the necessary equipment and allowing the owners of the farms to pay their part of the in stallation cost in monthly payments, distributed over a long period and added to the power bills. A 127 acre dairy farm owned by J. H. Ford has a complete and up-to-date electric light, power and water works system. The fifteen horsepower motor is located in the cooling room of the milking barn and within a few feet of the silo. The motor can be belted directly to the silage cutter and blower for filling the silo, or the circular saw, which is a drudgery saver in cutting the great amount of wood used on a farm. The house, barns and sheds are wired for electric lights, eliminating the great risk of use of fan tensions and coal lamps. The motor is also connected to a counter shaft for running a vacuum pump, which operates two milking machines. For convenience in milking, the barn piping has a connection and valve at each pair of stanchions, thus enabling the operator to milk any two cows at one time. The milking machines pump the milk through tubing into an aluminum container, from which it is strained into the cans for delivery and immediately cooled in running water before sending into town. Water sufficient for use wherever it is needed is obtained from a spring on a level thirty feet lower than the house and barn. The spring is inclosed in a concrete basin and a practically free-creep proof tankhouse erected over it. A branch from the main power line runs from the barn to the springhouse and operates a motor driving a pump which automatically keeps the pressure in a 720 gallon compression tank at thirty-five pounds to the square inch. From this tank water is piped to the house, milkhouse, barns, doorway and pastures, where hydrants make fresh water for domestic uses and for stock water always available and at a pressure sufficient for adequate fire protection. The dairy farm owned by Jesse Williams has approximately the same electric power and light equipment, with the addition of an electric washing machine for the farmhouse. Thirty-six cows are milked at each of the dairies, electric milkers doing the work, which is supervised by two men. Milking that number of cows requires only an hour and twenty minutes. The cows are so well satisfied with the machine that they bitterly react any attempt at hand milking. Williams figures that the machines save him an average of $100 a month in time and labor. At the Ard-Right stock farm, where Dr. S. D. Henry lives, electricity lights the eight-room house and sends water from claesters to all parts of it. Also an electric motor runs the wood saw, cuts silage, fills the silo, grinds feed and runs the machine thresling the wheat, oats, rye and millet from 150 acres of those crops. PROPHESIED HIS LONG SLEEP Strange Fulfillment of Weary Lodger's Words on Retiring. Seattle, Wash.—"I feel so tired that I believe I could sleep forever," re marked C. A. Kinkaid to the hotel clerk as he obtained his key and re paired to his room. On the following afternoon Kinkaid was found dead. Death was due to r. playxiation, and evidently was accidental. One of the gas burners was partly open, but the window was up about six inches. Kinkaid, who was a bridge carpenter, was a well-known member of the Eagles. He is survived by a wife, who left the city a few weeks ago to visit relatives in Lafayette, Ohio. Before turning oyster soup into the tureen put into the dish a heaping tablespoonful of finely minced celery and half as much chopped parsley. The flavor of the soup will be much enhanced.

(From Detroit Press, Mar. 21. 19) St. Matthew's Episcopal church, Detroit's most fashionable Negro congregation, was well represented in Police Justice Heston's court. Thursday, St. Matthew's C. White, a prominent parishioner of Miss Binga, an active worker, appeared on a warrant for assault and battery obtained by Rev. Robert W. Binga, rector. The case arose out of accusations made by White against the rector, involving the name of Miss. White. The rector was exonerated at an cease-and-desist trial. Sunday, Feb. 23, following it, is allied. White mounted the pulpit with a blackback and had the minister low with a blow on the head. Afterward Miss Binga, said to have been disappointed over her omission, asked the minister to have torn the minister's robe. Execution testimony expected was defended by a motion of Assistant Prosecutor, Joseph A. Poniel, to change the charge to assault to do great bodily harm. The hearing was set for March 21. Affairs were given new tenacity by the rector's commencement of a court circuit against Robert J. Wills, veteran Negro attorney, for $25,000 depreys for slain. Wills is reported to have referred to Mr. Garcia for assistance. He and have said he ought to be tried and feathered. White, defendant, in the police court case, has brought out against the rector for $19,000 for alleged alienation of affections.

AFRO-AMERICAN MUSIC The Most Distinctive and Original American Music Becoming Recognized as Authentic Folk The Cleveland Singers club, a few nights ago, included in its program a Negro spiritual entitled "Play on Your Harn, Little David." That no longer is an innovation. But it serves to point attention to the fact that American Negro music rapidly is becoming recognized as authentic folk music, a true contribution to the fine arts, and the most distinctive and original music yet produced in the United States. This applies chiefly to the black singers of the past. They may be identified as camp meeting songs. They are not composed by individuals, but grow naturally out of the group, being the sincere expression of deep emotion, erstatic fervor and a reverent spirit. Some are quite new. Others are as old and familiar as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Of course, it is in a developed and perfect form that these tunes win the praise of the erudite. But even in the first state, crude but beautiful, this music shows, as the Negro race "has an art of value to contribute to the generation in which we live." Audiences have been urged constantly that they must not seem to be provincial. They have been told constantly that they can best show appreciation of fine music by devotion to the best produced anywhere. The result of that preaching has been sometimes a failure to recognize the good music of the great spiritualists was not discovered at home. The recognition now given them seems to date from the time one of these spiritualists was heard by Antonin Dvork, the Bohemian composer, and incorporated in his symphony, the "New World." An open mind will recognize similar possibilities in some of the Negro songs which are not spirituals, and which are more closely associated with festive dancing than the prayer meeting. They include popular polish songs of vaudeville theater with win great favor in western Europe as well as in the United States.—Cleveland (O.) Daily Press.

SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1919. According to recent dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country from Paris, France, the Japs are only asking the World's Peace Congress "for a recognition of the claims of THEIR people now living in foreign countries to equal rights with other ALIENS." Prof. "Web." DuBois and others will please take note of the faet. Commenting upon President Wilson's remark that he was inspired by the sentiment contained in "the voices of the crowd," the Troy (N. Y.) Times very pertinently reminds its readers that the voice of the crowd is not always the voice of the people. The "still small voice" is often more representative of the opinions of the people than is the voiciferous tumult. As an illustration of the fallacy of assuming that the voice of the crowd is the voice of the people, the Times recalls that Bryan always had the voice of the crowd with him but on testing it three times at the ballot box he found that the voice of the people was something altogether different. It is well to keep this in mind. IT DOES. NOT "SPEAK" ENOUGH! Office of The Sunday News Leader and The Cleveland Daily News. Cleveland, O., March 22, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Blackstone Bldg. City. Dear Sir: Enclosed please find article (republication) which was published in last Sunday's Leader, which bespeaks for itself. Yours very truly, GEORGE F. MORAN. General Manager. The republication, labeled "try request," was an account of the return of our soldier boys, Feb. 22, first published in the Sunday Leader of March 2, 1919. To it was added the following (explanation) paragraph: Objections have been made by some colored men to the sketches which accompanied the above text, on the ground that such an event could have no humor connected with it, the Sunday News-Leader gladly reprints the above, to show there was no intention of throwing ridicule upon the colored fighters, whose courage and splendid record have not been questioned.—Dramatic section of the Sunday News-Leader of March 16, 1919. Objection to the sketches which ridiculed our soldier boys and civilians was NOT made "on the ground that such an event could have no humor connected with it" and the individual who wrote the foregoing knew it when he wrote the paragraph. Cleveland, March 24, 1919. Mr. George F. Moran. The Sunday Leader and The News City Dear Sir: Your letter of the 22d inst., with enclosure referred to, received. Fully appreciating the republication, which it seems was made "by request," and the subjoined explanation paragraph, I desire to say that while the sketches in the Sunday Leader, of March 9, 1919, were objectionable to the point of insult and very poor "humor" indeed when used in connection with reference to brave American soldiers who had just returned from the battle fields of France where they had offered their lives in the World War for a democracy which if fully appreciated would not permit the publication of such characterizations, the articles and references complained of and published in The News of Feb. 22, March 11 and March 16 were much worse, indicating a studied determination to ridicule and insult the colored people of this community in order that a foolish desire to be "humorous" might be satisfied, at least in part. What we want, my dear sir, is a discontinuance of all such mistreatment at the hands of both The Sunday Leader and The News and I feel, sure you will see the wisdom and justice of our request. The favorable references to our soldiers and civilians that appear in both papers were and are thoroughly appreciated at all times but those alleged humorous sketches in the Sunday Leader and the insulting references and terms used in the News of dates mentioned and others, are "two-edged knives," cutting both ways—insulting and humiliating my people of this community as well as lowering them in the estimation of other resident classes or races. I am frank to say that I do not want to think YOU, as general manager of both papers, desire any such results in the case of any class of Americans and I am sure that you will agree that the colored American's work in all the wars of this country, as well as during the time of peace, has proved his value and loyalty beyond all question or doubt. Trusting that you will see to it that the objectionable things complained of will not again appear in either The Sunday Leader or The News, I am, Yours very truly, HARRY C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor, The Gazette. Gen. Ansell may have been guilty of breach of military ethics, as Gen. Crowder asserts, but in bringing to the attention of the country the fact that our court-martial system is obsolete and permits grave injustice to soldiers Ansell has nobly served his country, and the demotion visited on him by the War Department because of his courageous stand makes a sacrifice which many a chap in the line will understand and resent. Prussianism in the American army must be stamped out. It is one of the chief reasons for the opposition which has been met, with respect to a regular establishment commensurate with the needs of the country. It is the shibboleth used against universal military training. There is no excuse for it whatever in a free country. It is not to be found in France, where the soldiers and officers, when off duty, act toward each other like human beings, not like kaiser and swineherd. The court-martial system is one of the fruits of Prussianism. That was made clearer than ever before when those thirteen Afro-American soldiers were lynch-murdered in Texas, last fall, as a result of the Houston riot. Both the court-martial system and "Prussianism" should be exorcised by congress at the earliest possible moment. And to Ansell will fall much of the credit for the reform. He! will not have served and sacrificed in vain. BAKER AND PERSHING ARE ALSO TO BLAKE Brig. Gen. Chas. Gearhardt, who commanded all the troops on the Olympic and Col. Geo H. McMaster of the 365th Inf., are prejudiced southerners. The former, however, is primarily to blame for the unwarranted segregation and other insulting mistreatment of all the Afro-American soldiers aboard that ship, week before last, when en route home from France. We are told that Secretary of War Baker and Gen. Pershing are not to blame for these and a thousand other unfair and un-American things done to the Afro-American soldier, overseas and at home. Well, maybe! One or two "Gearhardts" brought to "book" by either Baker or Pershing for their 'ow and contemptible mistreatment of our soldiers would have a tremendous influence on their kind and make the "pathway" abroad, en route home and at home much easier for our boys. On board the Olympic were the 365th and 367th Inf., the 350th Field Artillery and the 317th Sanitary Train. The British naval officers commanding the Olympic were willing to treat our boys properly, as is their custom, but not allowed to do so by Gearhardt, the commanding officer aboard the ship. The Afro-American officers of these units were grouped together, irrespective of rank, in a separate dining room on board the Olympic, while lieutenants, captains and field officers of the same organization, with nurses of enlisted men's rank, Y. M. C. A. secretaries and field clerks were restricted to certain parts of the ship, compelled to remain in a certain limited area and were watched as though they were prisoners instead of American soldiers returning from the greatest war. An order from either Baker or Pershing would put a stop to this and much other southern "cracker" discrimination and they ought to issue it, at once. It is the merest nonsense to say they are in nowise responsible for much of the insulting mistreatment our soldiers are subjected to at home, abroad and en route home. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 29, 1919 DOINGS OF THE RACE Dr. Leroy N. Bundy's East St. Louis, Ill., case, came up again in court at Waterloo, Ill., last week Tuesday. The South Carolina legislature has voted $100,000 for a memorial for our soldiers and a like sum for a memorial for "white" soldiers. Two hundred and fourteen of the 242 industrial establishments in N. Y. city, studied recently by the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A., employ 2,185 Afro-American women. The Overseas Theater league, N. Y. city, which is conducted under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., is drawing the line against colored performers being sent to France to entertain our soldier boys. Our soldier court-martial victims of the Houston, Tex. viot, now in the Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. federal prison, sentenced for life and shorter terms, are to have their cases reviewed by the clemency board, the creation of which Gen. Ansel, is to be credited with. Editor W. P. Kemp of the Detroit Leader has been appointed a deputy state oil inspector. Congratulations, confrence. The editor of The Gazette was given a similar position by our great and good friend. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, when he was governor of Ohio, many years ago, and was the first Afro-American to be so honored. Experts of the United States Bureau of Mines are much interested in private tests which will be made in Salf Lake City of a new method of extracting from waste coal various by products, such as crude petroleum, paraffin wax and ammonia. This method of utilizing a large part of the coal which is now wasted was thought out by John D. Scott of Detroit. Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the Federal Bureau of Mines, and his associates have for years called attention to the great loss of natural resources in the wastage of coal slack and coal dust, and if the method of utilizing this mine refuse is discovered they say, it will result in benefits both to the coal operators and to the general public. Coal slack and coal dust now cost the owners of mines about 50c a ton to remove. The new method of extracting by products from the material which has been called to the attention of the Government's mining engineers, will make this refuse worth from $1.50 to $3 a ton. Two Groups. Rome fellows divide their friends into a sets and facilities. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against infliction, ignorance and lust, the emulsion yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide for least disputes. The law who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wretches of many. DARL TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and In that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, indolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill.

AUTO HORN SAVES HIM FROM MOUNTAIN LION 3 He Thought His Last Hour Had Come, but Jackily He Had the "Honk- Honk" Weapon. Sacramento, Cal.; Charles Jackson, driver of the mall stage between Marklesville, Cal., and Gardnerville, Nev. has found a new use for automobilizing horns. As a weapon against attacks by mountain lion Jackson says an automobile horn has no equal, and Jackson is in a position to know. While driving to Gardnerville the other day Jackson was confronted by two mountain lions, made savage by heavy snows and the resultant lack of food. The brutes disputed the right of way with Jackson, who was unarmed. The horses took fright and became almost unmanageable. "I thought my last moment had come," said Jackson. "The lions were preparing to leap upon me or the horses and that would have seen the end of us both. I yelled, cursed and prayed at the top of my voice, but the lions were not a bit scared. They came creeping toward me and the frightened, shivering team. "Suddenly I remembered I had a good noise producer in a package under the wagon seat. It was an automobile horn I was bringing in for the postmaster. I grabbed that horn and pressed the bulb as hard as I could. The 'honk-honk' of that horn did more than all my yelling, for the lions turned tall and fled down the hill as though pursued by a thousand demons. "I'll either carry a gun or an auto horn on the rest of my trips this winter," added Jackson. IRATE BULL BUTTS A TRAIN Taurus Dents Badly and Then Rambles Back to Picture Sunbury, Pa. — big Aldermere built in a pasture field owned by Chas. Gonsar, a farmer, near Snydertown, took offense at the whistling of an expresstrain on the Philadelphia & Reading, railroad, which passes close by. Taurus jumped a five-rail fence and plunged headlong against the side of a car, and then fell close to the tracks as though dead. The train was stopped and the crew went back, only to see the animal rise and run back into its pasture. The impact made a dent in the side of the car as big as a dinner pat.

Madam Frances Motin's Evanston, Ill., training class in elocution and expression held its closing recital, recently, and drew an audience that packed the Second Baptist church of that city to the doors. It was decidedly a financial and artistic success, a great credit to its director, Madam Motin, and her pupils. The class numbered sixteen. Madam Motin's friends in this city, made on the occasion of her visits to her sister, the wife of her army, are Throver, 5.43d Stryker, and all are well known as she is. Mt. Thrower, who though suffering from la gripe, is happy as a result of her sister's recent signal success. Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Abbott of Chicago and Alexander O. Taylor paid the Gazette sanctum a very pleasant visit, last Friday. Mr. Abbott is editor of the Defender and Mr. Taylor its Cleveland representative. The former lectured at Triedstone Baptist church, that evening. In point of attendance, the lecture was a failure we are sorry to say. The editor of The Gazette met Editor Abbott in Washington, D. C. in June, and again with his bride in St. Louis in November. Both are fine people. Of course we know and like the staff we are able to the staff of "The Old Reliable" Gazette when he secured his newspaper training. "The Alien" and "D" Nickens are being blamed by some persons for the small attendance at the lecture, last Friday evening. The fact is the lecture was not properly advertised. Capt.

Ed. is a "picture of health" and can relate many intensely interesting reminiscences of his thrilling experiences in France, during the World War. He is stationed at Camp Grant pending his honorable discharge from the army. Capt. Dunill is anxious, and he has his old victim stenographer in the Court of Appeals. He says that Col. Charles Young is commanding the Development Battalion at Camp Grant and is also president of the General Court Martial for the camp. Good! George E. Haynes, our director of economics, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., will discuss Afro-American employment and welfare conditions in this city with local labor leaders of both races and representatives of manufacturers and philanthropic organizations, Saturday, 8 p.m., at the Community House, 2352 E. 40th St. He will be the principal speaker at a mass meeting of workers at 3 p.m., Sunday at the Corry M. E. church, E. 35th St and Scovill Ave. The purpose of these meetings is to co-ordinate the efforts of the various local agencies dealing with our economic and welfare situation. The meetings were called by Harry E. Davis chairman of our Workers' Advisory Committee. The employment among our people in Cleveland and throughout the state is no greater, proportionately, than among the other workers, according to Charles E. Hall, Columbus, supervisor of our economies for Ohio, who will attend the meetings. Resumption of outdoor work, Mr. Hall said, will relieve the situation materially. With appropriate exercises, Wednesday evening, the Elks unveiled a fine, large photograph of Capt. James H. Starkey, one of its most active members and officers while in life. There is one thing The Gazette has observed, for years, and that is the intense loyalty to the memory of their deceased members our local Elks have shown on the occasion of their funerals and are ever afterward. It is indeed a great honor and wisdom of emulation. The Elks have planned a ball for Dreamland on Monday evening, May 12, that they propose to make as big a success as was the Antler Athletic Association's recent boxing tournament at Acme hall, and it was certainly an exceptionally fine affair of the kind, all agree. The association is arranging for another in April-on the suggestion of the Boxing Commission, so pleased was the latter with the Acme show.

The Afro-American Workers' Advisory committee of this county will meet at the Community House, 2352 F. 40th St., March 29, at 8 p. m. On March 30, at 3 p. m., a main meeting will be held at Cory M.

Hall, our state supervisor of economics, will also speak. USE WIRELESS ON TRAINS Cheaper Than Wire Telegraph and Less Liable to Break Down, Say Lackawanna Officials. All trains on the Lackawanna Railroad between Hoboken, N. J., and Buffalo, N. Y., are to be operated by wireless. The regular telegraph system will be maintained only for use in emergency between the two points. The cheapness in operation when compared to the old wire system is given as the main reason for the adoption of the wireless. A test of wireless on running trains, showed that all difficulties concerning the general installation had been removed. The Lackawanna officials agree that the wireless, in addition to reducing the cost of maintenance, will insure service at all times of the year. The metal towers in Hoboken and Buffalo are constructed to withstand all storms. Government experts have returned the instruments at Hoboken so as not to interfere with the wireless station at the navy yard. A DISCRETIVE Pressmist. I am a chronic pressmist. My cape is torn.

We hear stories these days of haunted houses and places—most of which we disbelieve. In fact most people can not stretch their credulity enough to take in any serie tale of ghost or hobgoblin. The narrator of this story knows that it is the characteristic of many educated and cultured persons to attribute to ignorance and superstition all things that transcend nature and reason. But the facts in this case can be vouchered for by responsible, and unusually intelligent parties; no jury would think of dis- counting their testimony. In western North Carolina one of the finest tobacco plantations in the state lies uncultivated and untenanted. A practical farmer who would move on the place and work it could acquire a competency in a few years. But in spite of the most liberal inducements on the part of the owners a tenant can not be secured. And this, remember, is one of the finest farms in the world-famed tobacco section. The reason why a tenant cannot be found is that the plantation has the reputation of being haunted, and it has borne this reputation for a quarter of a century. The ante-bellum owners of the property were southern aristocrats. The war swept away their wealth as embraced in money and slaves, but left them the old plantation; this they held on to tenaciously, for it had been in their family for a century. And in dying the aristocratic owners must have put a curse upon it in order that it might not be of any use to any who might acquire it. Some believe that the spirits of the former proprietors stand guard over the old family estate. The fact remains that since the death of the last member of the ancient family in which the estate remained so long the plantation has not been successfully occupied. The colored people were the first to find out that the property was "haunted." Stories spread like wildfire among this simple folk of the hair-raising experiences that some of their people had had in trying to live on the plantation. The white people did not believe these stories, and attributed them to superstition on the part of the negroes. But they changed their opinion after several white families had tried it, and had had to give it up as a bad job. The last white farmer who tried to occupy the place was a Mr. Bray. He was a widower with three little girls. His friends tried to dissuade him from moving on the haunted place, but Bray only laughed at their fears, saying that he was not superstitious. Bray hired several wagons and had his household goods and foodstuff for his stock moved on to the place. This operation was finished by nightfall. Bray and his little girls had supper; then placed their furniture in position for the night. This occupied them until about 10 o'clock, when the little girls retired. Bray had forgotten all about his friends' ghost stories. But suddenly the kerosene lamp on the table was blown out. Bray immediately relighted it; upon examination he found that it could not have been put out by a draught of air entering through the window for the window was closed, and, besides, there was no air stirring outside. The lamp was extinguished again. Bray stuck a match to relight it, but the match was blown out, and he felt a warm human breath strike his hand. At last he succeeded in relighting the lamp and keep it burning. Now a new phenomenon succeeded the lamp episode. There was a cradle in the room, the property of the historic family that had owned the place. This cradle of its own accord began to rock. There was no air stirring, and no human hand could be seen on the cradle. Bray waked his three girls to witness this phenomenon. The girls were greatly terrified, especially when strange noises began to sound through the old house. Suddenly the door of the room opened. The father was sure that he had locked it securely, but it was not long before it opened again. The little girls also witnessed this occurrence. This door and others continued to be opened and closed by unseen visitors all the night, although Bray was sure that he had locked them all before night. About midnight Bray said he heard the men of the old family in an upstairs room playing cards and drinking. At least sounds proceeded from above as from a hilarious crowd engaged in drinking and gambling; laughter and curses seemed to float out upon the air. The upshot of it all was that Mr. Bray and his little girls remained awake all night, listening to the strange sounds, and witnessing strange sights. Bray was a practical man, and had great common sense, but the next morning he hooked his teams and hauled his family and furniture away. Some of his corn and hay he left he, he himself, would not go back for it, and he could not hire a team and driver to undertake the proposition. The foodstuff remained there and retailed. Since Mr. Bray's experience—which happened about ten years ago—the farm has been without a tenant. This is a fact that prominent and reliable people will certify to, and the only possible objection to the property is that it has the reputation of being haunted by its former owners. POULTRY HOW TO SET A HEN PROPERLY Nest Should Be In Some Quiet Place Where She Won't Be Disturbed— Handle Carefully. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The first sign of a hen being broody (wanting to set) is that she stays longer on the nest when laying, and on being approached will quite likely remain and make a clucking noise, ruffle her feathers and peck at the intruder. When it is noted that a hen sets on a nest from two to three nights in succession and that the feathers are disappearing from her breast which should feel hot to the hand, she is ready to be transferred for setting to a nest which has pre CHICKEN Well-Selected Flock of Young Hens of Uniform Size. viously been prepared. The normal temperature of a hen is from 106 to 107 degrees F., which varies slightly during incubation. The nest should be in some quiet, out-of-the-way place, where the sitting hen will not be disturbed. Move her from the regular laying nest at night and handle her carefully in doing so. Put a china egg or two in the nest where she is to sit and place a board over the opening so that she cannot get off. Toward the evening of the second day quietly go in where she is sitting, leave some feed and water, remove the board from the front or top of the nest, and let the hen come off when she is ready. Should she return to the nest after feeding remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be incubated. If the nests are slightly darkened the hens are less likely to become restless. At hatching time they should be confined and not be disturbed until the hatch is completed, unless they become restless, when it may be best to remove the chicks that are hatched first. In cool weather it is best not to put more than ten eggs under a hen, while later in the spring one can put twelve to fifteen, according to the size of the hen. Dust the hen thoroughly with insect powder, and in applying the powder hold the hen by the feet, the head down, working the powder well into the feathers, giving special attention to regions around the vent and under the wings. The powder should also be sprinkled in the nest. POULTRY NOTES Guineas, like geese and pigeons, pair when the number of males and females is equal. The turkey does not fully mature until two years old, and is at its best at three years. Sometimes the old hens of the heavy breeds will not need fattening, as they have a tendency to take on fat with age. The poultry house should have no draughts; it should be clean and kept clean and no damp floors should be tolerated. A fowl consumes about three ounces of mash in the morning, two ounces of grain at noon, and four ounces of grain at the evening feed. Proper equipment in the poultry-house often is the deciding factor in successful poultry keeping and should be given due consideration. Hens lay best in damp weather, even during winter. It will be noticed that they are more prolific during showery spells than they are when it is dry. The theory is that moisture produces expansion and growth, whereas dry, cold or dry warmth contracts. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND POULTRY FACTS CHICKS REARED IN BROODERS No System Ideal for All Conditions Success Depends on Indi- vidual Handling. (Prepared by the United States*Depart- ment of Agriculture.) More difference of opinion exists as to the value of brooding systems than in any other part of poultry rearing, which shows that no system is ideal for all conditions, but that success depends largely on individual handling and care. Many failures in brooding are due to weak chicks which may be traced to faulty incubation or weakness in breeding stock. Successful chick raising depends primarily upon having healthy, vigorous breeding stock. Some of the most important faults in the management of brooders are overcrowding and lack of ventilation, while the chicks fail to get sufficient exercise. The brooder should supply the proper temperature, be readily adapted to change in weather conditions, be easy to clean and well ventilated. The capacity should not be overestimated. One-half to two-thirds of the number of chickens commonly advised will do much better than a larger number. Brooders and hovers should have from one-half to two inches of sand, dry dirt, cut clover or chaff spread over the floor, and in case they are kept in the brooder house, over the floor of this also. The hovers should be cleaned frequently, as cleanliness is essential in raising chickens successfully. The best temperature at which to keep a brooder or hover depends upon the position of the thermometer, the style of the hover, the age of the chickens, and the weather conditions. Alm to keep the chickens comfortable. As the operator learns by the action of the chickens the amount of heat they require, he can discard the thermometer if he desires. When too cold they will crowd together and try to get nearer the heat. If it is found in the morning that the droppings are well scattered over the hover it is an indication that the chickens have had enough heat. If the chickens are comfortable at night they will be spread out under the hover with the heads of some protruding from under the hover cloth. Too much heat will cause them to pant and sit around with their mouths open. It is impossible to state for each case at what temperature the brooders should be kept to raise young chickens; however, it will run from 90 up A Splendid Flock for Any Farm to 100 degrees in some cases, as some broods of chickens seem to require more heat than others, an average being 83 to 95 degrees for the first week or ten days, when the temperature is gradually reduced to 85 degrees for the following ten days, and then lowered to 70 or 75 degrees for as long as the chickens need heat. This depends somewhat on the season of the year and the number of the chickens, as it can be readily seen that the heat generated by 50 chickens would raise the temperature under the hover to a higher degree than the heat given off by a lesser number, consequently the amount of heat furnished by the lamp or stove will have to be regulated accordingly. As the chickens grow larger and need less heat the lamps may be used only at night, and later only on cold nights. The heat is usually cut off at the end of four or five weeks in March or April in the vicinity of Washington, D. C., while winter chickens have heat for eight or ten weeks, or until they are well feathered. Care should be taken to prevent chilling or overheating the chickens, which weakens them and may result in bowel trouble. When chickens are first put into the brooder they should be confined under or around the hover by placing a board or wire frame a few inches outside (this would not apply to the small outdoor colony brooders). POULTRY NOTES Ducks need the grit for their digestion just as chickens do. Clean houses, nests, runs, drinking and feeding vessels are important. Old hens that are not needed for breeders should be fattened and marketed. There is still a good demand for capons, and all on hand should be marketed. You should have tight coops for the hens and chickens to prevent rats, weasels and skunks from getting in nights and killing little chickens. NEGRO SOLDIERS IN OUR WAR Tells all about the war.
