Alter, one of our oldest residents, recalls to mind the cold weather of 68 years ago, of 1851, when, he says, water froze hard enough on May 2 to support a person’s weight. Forty-eight years ago, 1871, in May, there was four inches of snow.

Arvel Bringle, the mail route man, has sold his lots in the east part of town to Grant Fardner, and has purchased the Sophia Headlee property in the south part of town, to which he will remove in a few weeks, or as soon as he can make the necessary repairs. Aggressive work on the part of the Remington Business Men’s association has resulted in a definite promise for a re-coating of the county roads within the corporate limit of our city. This, with stone that the village is purchasing, will place our streets in first-class condition. A petition has been circulated, signed and filed with the county commissioners of Benton county for the paving of the range line road south of town. The petition calls for a paving 16 feet wide, from the Benton county line south for five miles and then west to connect with the Fowler road, a total distance of about 14 miles. This petition is filed under the new county unit law, and has good prospects of being built. If there is any one place within a radius of 15 miles of Remington that needs road repair it is from the college to Rensselaer first, and next from the county line south, and all will be glad to see the road constructed.

I weather was anything but promising; yet the patrons and frierxls of the school filled the auditorium: and halls until standing room was at a premium. Prof. Moran delivered the commencement address there also. Prof. Campbell recommended the high school seniors to Superintendent Sterrett for graduation. This was the first graduating class from the Fair Oaks high school. Gladys Ogle, Glen Ogle, Goldie Kessinger, Elsie Zellars and Jessie Zellars received diplomas upon this occasion. Goldie Kessinger gave the salutation. Elsie Zellars gave the valedictory, followed by the junior response from Howard Gilmore. These numbers were disposed of in a very acceptable manner. Helen Burroughs sang a song and Helen Erwin gave a pianologue that were novel and cleverly given. An octette of girls from the high school also sang a song that was well received. Six little children from the primary room, dressed as jackies, sang and acted a little sailor song. Miss Raines played a piano solo as the closing number. Superintendent Sterrett conferred the honors of graduation upon a large class of eighth grade pupils whose names appeared in a previous issue of the paper. There were 19 in all fromu Union township who are now ready to attend high school the coming year. The Rev. J. C. uowney gave the invocation and benediction. Carroll Burroughs played a cornet solo to add variety to the program that was given almost wholly from home talent. The school spirit in these two communities is running at high tide. The patrons and friends of education have supported the school programs upon every occasion by their presence and in a number of cases by volunteering work that was necessary to make the evenings a school success. Barkley township will hold a commencement at Barkley church on Saturday night, June 21. Trustee Davisson is arranging to make this one of the best in the history of the township. It is likely that this will be the largest graduating class in the history of Barkley township. Other township commencements will be fixed and announced when the trustees get the matter under attention. Democrat want ads get results.

EARLY HATCHING IS FAVORED Poultryman Enabled to Get Chick* Started Before Hot WeatherRapid Gains Insured. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In order to have eggs when eggs are scarce begin operations in early spring to plan for early-hatched chicks. Early batching the poultryman to get ‘his chicks started before hot weather, which retards their growth and which, with the presence of lice, causes millions of late-hatched chicks to die each year. Pullets batched early produce eggs in the fall when

hens are molting. Early-hatched cockerels bring the best prices and early layers will brood early the following spring. Contrary to general belief chicks do not grow or thrive as well during warm months or hot summer days as they do earlier In the spring. Chicks hatched early are stronger, thrive better and have the advantage of a longer growing season. Early hatching not only Insures more rapid gains In the growth of chicks but has a favorable influence on the size of the individuals of the flock. Late-hatched chicks rarely If ever attain the size of- thosp hatched early. Given the same feed, care and attention, chicks hatched in March and April will weigh more when they are four months old than those hatched In May and June. The early-hatched chick, having the advantage of a more favorable growing season, makes greater gains during the first four months of its life thar> the latehatched chick. During the early spring months when the temperature is not so varied the growth of chicks is more uniform and constant than it is during the summer. If for no other reason chicks should be hatched early so their growth will not be Interrupted by the presence of lice, which are touch more plentiful and destructive in hot weather than In the cooler days of spring. Many farmers and poultrymen realize considerable money each spring from the sale of broilers, the price of which is usually governed by their size when sold and the time marketed. Thus it would seem that in order to Increase the amount of money from the sale of broilers and fryers early hatching would be employed so as to have a marketable-sized fowl early In the spring when prices are highest.

WASHING WILL HELP DECAY

Many Egga Are Spoiled Each Year Because They Have Become Wet Before Reaching Market. It is estimated that more than 5,000,000 eggs are spoiled every year because they have been washed or in some way have become wet before reachirig market. The shell of an egg contains a gelatinous substance which prevents air and germs from entering the eggs. Washing destroys this substance and promotes decay.

POULTRY NOTES

a system of cleanliness in poultry raising is desirable. * * * Hens must have things to eat that contain egg-making elements. ♦ ♦ * The hen as a rule is a better sitter than the pullet for the incubation of eggs. When mites, lice, ticks, fleas, etc., once get a start they are very troublesome. ♦ * * Egg testers are to be easily had from manufacturers and dealers in poultry supplies. ♦ * * To successfully hatch chicks great care should be exercised in the selection of the sitting hen. Any old hen seldom does in these matters. • ♦ ♦ • There are four common breeds of geese, the Toulouse, African, Embden and the White China. Of these the Toulouse is the most popular and most generally raised. ....
