CLEVELAND, Dec. 15. One hundred thousand men were out of work and hundreds of Cleveland's largest manufacturing plants were shut down today because of the shortage of coal. The companies affected, many of them turning out rush orders of war materials including shells, shrapnel, motor cars, airplane parts, fuses, uniforms, engines, and other war necessities required by the government depended upon the Cleveland Electric Illuminating company for power. Late yesterday the coal shortage reached such an acute stage that the Illuminating company shut off electric currents to all big industrial plants. One of Two Things.

. Inasmuch as the company furnishes

most of the power used by the local traction company and lights most of

the electric lamps in the city it was either a matter of stopping street car traffic and allowing the city to remain unlighted at night or of curtailing industrial power. The idle manufacturing plants will resume operations Monday morning, providing coal now being rushed to the Illuminating company's plant Is not delayed. Only five cars of coal were received

by the company last night and that, will last but a few hours. Normally: the two power plants of the company, consume fifty cars of coal daily.

Breed Is Important, But Good Hens of

.Any Kind Will Respond to Good care. As it Is better to have a cold, dry poultry house than a warm, damp one, tome means of ventilation should be provided. A rloth curtain over an opening has proved a very successful method of ventilation. Farth floors in Doultry houses are

excellent, provided they are kept clean. !

Except in very dry climates, nowever, they are apt to be damp. Where an earth floor is used it should be three or four inches above the level of the ground outside. In iateresting the boy in poultry raising he should be taught the advantage of a pure bred flock, be encouraged to build his own poultry house, and do for himself as much of the other work connected with the project as possible. It may be a fine cbject lesson in the community. The start even with poor equipment and a scrub flock is better than no effort at alL The lessons learned in obtain

ing improvements will prove valuable. The laying hen must have besides grain and meal a supply of animal food and green food. This Is necessary for winter production. If there is a surplus of 6kim milk on the farm it is an economical form of animal lood for poultry. Home-made drinking fountains for poultry may be as useful as more expensive ones. It is essential to provide clean water and to sterilize the utensils frequently as a precaution against diseases. ' Winter layers cannot be expected to produce many eggs when the prices are high, if they are not housed in comfortable quarters. If an old house is to be used, drain the floor, replace earth and litter with fresh material, procure sufficient light and ventilation, clean out all rubbish and disinfect roosts, nests and other equipment. White-wash the inside walls of the house, repair leaks in the roof, and make other necessary improvements.
