FAIR OAKS. | Ben Zellers shredded corn for Chas. Halleck Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs. Eggleston is visiting relatives at Weston Springs, 111., this week.

Sherman Richards of Rensselaer came up Tuesday to do some paint-’ ing and paperhanging. Grandma Brouhard is being visited by her daughter and nephew of near Lebanon this week. Mrs. Gwin dismissed school Wednesday afternoon to go to Gary to visit Ikihools Thursday and Friday. Miss Eleanor Williams, after a couple weeks stay at William Cottingham’s, at Danville, came home Saturday. Last Sunday, after Sunday School, Mrs. Bringle took her Sunday School class on an auto ride, which they enjoyed very much. Chas. Halleck lost about 250 bpshels of apples by the freeze last week. He lacked that many of having them all picked, but got about 500 bushels picked before the freeze. Rev. Downey occupied the pulpit in the M. E. church Sunday evening. He announced he would begin a series of meetings on Monday evening, and- this week is carrying them on. The heavy rains stopped the corn binders on the Lawler ranch some time ago, but they put men in the fields with corn knives and have been cutting right along since. It sounds funny to talk about cutting corn so long after frost* but that’s what they are doing. Mrs. Ed Kesler and children, who left here about three weeks ago to visit her sister in Dakota, has not been heard from since they left. Ed has very uneasy about tehm and went out there last week. But found they had not been there nor heard anything of them. It is feared by some that they have met with foul play in Chicago while changing depots. Walter McConnell is the owner of an auto, the econd automobile in Fair Oaks, since the first of last week. A couple of fellows from Chicago were driving a Mitchell runabout through from the Windy City, but when they got west of town on the Lawler ranch their machine became unmanageable or else they were green hands at the biz. and offered to sell it. Walter with Floy Baxter, who is something of an electrician, looked the thing over and pronounced it well worth the price, so Walter, purchased It. After they had fixed up a few connections and rectified a tfhort circuit. They tuned it up and Walter run it into town. It is thought with a few repairs it will be all right.

The Obvious Remedy.

The American visitor was being shown through the historical cathedral of an English village. Every stone in the floor was graved with the name of the almost forgotten hero or saint whose body rested beneath it. “Aye, sir," the. verger assured the visitor, “a sight o’ folks sleeps atween the walls o’ this old church.” “Then why,” asked the Yankee, absently, “don’t you people get an up-to-date preacher?"

POULTEY

FOWLS FOR EGG PRODUCTION Good, Strong, Vigorous Birds Are Re quired and Should Not Lay Many Eggs in Pullet Year. Good, strong, vigorous birds are essential for egg production. The simple fact that a hen has laid 200 oi more eggs in her pullet year is not sufficient to warrant her being used as a breeder. I have seen a numbei of 200-egg hens, with long, narrow

heads and sunken eyes, which indicate low vitality, and, moreover, have tested a number of them as breeders, and have yet to see one that was worth while breeding from, judging from the performance and living powers of her offspring, says a writer in an exchange. J A hen used for breeding, especially for the producer of males to head the breeding pens the next season, should not only be expected to lay a large number of eggs per year, but these eggs should be high in hatching power and the chicks should live, and, furthermore, they should develop into goodsized birds quickly and the pullets should lay well. Perhaps it might be well to give here the method that is used by us in breeding from selected layers. The hen 1b required to be a good winter layer and to lay at least 150 eggs in her pullet year. The next requirement is that her eggs hatch well —that is, it is expected that over 80 per cent, of the eggs will be fertile and 90 per cent, of the fertile eggs will hatch. It is then required that 90 per cent of the chicks will live to five months of age and that the cockrels at this age be well developed and weigh —if from general purpose breeds —at least six pounds each, and, finally, that the pullets be good layers. If the pullets lay well during the fall, then I consider holding their brothers as breeders. We try as far as possible to test the males along similar lines, as to producers of plenty of strong pullets and lay well. There is probably as much difference between males as there is between females.

BUY STOCK FOR SPRING NOW

Some of the Advantages of- Buying June Bred Poultry at Present Time —Breeder Is Thinning Out. If you are contemplating starting in the fancy poultry business next spring don’t wait till that time to buy your stock. So many wait till the last moment before buying their stock that it is an annoyance to themselves as well as the breeder to be told that he has no stock for sale. Here are some of the advantages of buying June bred poultry at the present time: 1. The breeder has a larger stock on hand than he will have in the spring. 2. He has more birds than he can properly accommodate now, and will “thin out” at a sacrifice. 3. As business is dull with the poultry fancier at this time of the year, he is more anxious to sell and will do better by you. 4. If he is compelled to keep his stock over till spring, he will add the extra expense to the birds, and if eggs for hatching are in demand, he will not sell at any price. 5. In the spring the pens are mated up, and the careful breeder will not break up his matings. 6. Hens and pullets, of any breed, are seldom to be had in the spring.

TRAFFIC IN SOUTH AMERICA

How Congestion and Accidents Are Avoided in the Streets of Buenos Aires. Buenos, Aires is very much unlike our American cities. In the first place, there are no sky scrapers. The highest building does not exceed seven or eight stories. Then there are miles Upon miles of streets with buildings of one story predominating. It is laid out in rectangular blocks, average about 400 feet on each side. The streets are narrow, and even in the residence section they are generally built clear up to the street line. The principal business streets, such a 3 Florida, Cuyo, Cangallo, Bartolome Mitre, San Martin, 25th of May, etc., are only 33 feet wide, and you will wonder how the tra.lic is managed, says Travel. It.is done in this wise: Street cars and vehicles are allowed to move only one way. On the adjoining street they move in the opposite direction. It is surprising how this plan helps to solve a serious problem of congestion. Cabs and automobiles dash along with seeming disregard of human life, yet few accidents result. A uniformed policeman is stationed at each street intersection where traffic is congested and assists in the protection of foot passengers and drivers. This police force, made uj) of men with Indian blood ill their veins, impresses the visitor as most efficient.
