room she occupies. Keep the hens happy and you have solved the prob lem of production. The difference be tween a hen that thinks life worth living and one that goes about with a before-taking look is something like five dozen eggs a year. In view of this difference it is well worth while looking into conditions if the birds stand around with their feathers plastered down tightly, the eye lacking alertness, and showing no particular interest in the mess call. A hen is never inclined to peevishness without just cause; perhaps the house is dark, damp, vermin-ridden or from some other cause uncomfortable. When a hen Is overcrowded she be comes disgusted; if the house is either too hot or too cold she loses spirit; she demands sanitary Quarters. When the environments are not to her liking there is small chance of hearing the soft, purring melody that tells her owner his earthly possessions are about to be enhanced to the value of one egg. A hen with her toes frost bitten is never gay and optimistic. A hen that is too fat becomes lazy: one that is too poor cares nothing about her egg record: neither takes any interest*in life. A cheerful hen that is paying her way walks a step or two and then takes a scratch, a long, sweeping stroke, while a disgruntled one goes along with her head down, and when she scratches, if she scratches at all, it is with a short, jerky stroke. Keep the hens cheerful and they will do as much for you. i < The Telegraph's Service For Poultry Keepers Through the Poultry Depart ment of this paper, questions per taining to poultry work will be answered each Saturday.

At about what date should White Wyandotte eggs be set for hatching that pullets may be brought to laying at the earliest date that precludes the danger of Fall molt? W. F. S. Harrisburg, Pa. White Wyandotte pullets should be hatched not earlier than the first of March nor later than the first of May. Q. Contrary to my past experience | with hens, this season fewer eggs were laid by my flock than in December. My neighbors' flocks likewise showed a decline in January over December. Is this not unusual and what is the explanation? MRS. T. K. Mechanicsburg, Pa. The decrease in egg production dur ing the current month is no doubt due to severe weather conditions. Q.

DANDRUFF 00N RUINS THE HAIR Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry, Brittle and Thin. Giris—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen tly with the linger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy overy single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and jigging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will be silky, fluffy, lus trous, soft, and look and feel a hun dred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is in expensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dan druff you have. This simple remedy never falls.—Advertisement. MIFFLIN COUNTY HEN UYS FIVE-OUNCE EGG Beats New Jersey Chicken Who, Cackled Over Four and One- Half-Ounce Egg A correspondent from Lewlstown speaks up for the hens of Mifflin county. At Hammonton, N. J., a hen won distinction by laying an egg that weighed 4M ounces. The announce ment of this master stroke had hardly been made before a hen owned by J. G. Metherill, of Lewlstown, abashed the Jersey pullet by producing an egg that weighed 5 ounces, a whole half ounce heavier. The writer says: "But Metherill's hen is not the only local product to be making poultry history, for up until a few weeks agol W. H. Kline, of Pennebaker avenue, was the possessor of one of the three most consistent layers known in America, his W'hite Plymouth Rock matron de pcsitlng. according to sworn state ment, 301 eggs from October 25, 1913, to October 24. 1914. Only two other hens in the country, of whom a record was kept, have ever laid 300 or more eggs in a whole year." Either the writer lias his dates wrong or is dealing in prophecy. The bird has been purchased by W. F. Hill, special representative of the State Department of Agriculture, who re gards her as a valuable possession. Laying Hens Can't Be Overfed or Too Fat Is it possi ble to overfeed a hen? We have all heard it said that if you feed a hen too liberally she will be come too fat and will not lay well. This may be true in rare Instances, hut we now know positively that unless a hen is given what she wants tn eat she will not lay many eggs. A hen must have some fat in her body to be in the best laying condition. To accomplish this without making the hen over fat we must feed a ration that is properly compounded; that Is, it should contain grain, ground feed, meat and vegetable food. The hen should be allowed to eat all the grain she wants at least once a day, and proferably twice a day, and meat scraps and ground feed should be kept accessible to her at all times. The fear of hens becoming too fat Is exaggerated. Tests almost invariably show that the fattest hens are the ones in the best condition for laying; that is, eggs are found in their bodies in various advanced stages of develop ment; whereas the ones that are lean or only slightly fat show the egg organs to be dormant or practclally so. HENS BREAK RECORDS IX MTII WEEK OF EGG CONTEST Ihe most striking feature in the fourteenth week of the third inter national egg-laying contest is the un expectedly large gain of 682 eggs over the previous week's production or a yield of 1,669 eggs for the week. In spite of this tremendous gain the man age;" 1 1 e '} t of the contest is predicting a still further increase in th® lifteenth week on account of the fact that on the last day of the week the produc tion was the highest for any one day since the contest opened more than three months ago. Some of the best individual scores for the first three months of the con w, . a J e ** as SS ,OWB: En «»sh White \Vjandotte, 67 eggs; Pennsylvania Red, 00; New Hampshire Red, 60- Massachusetts Buff Wyandotte, 59- Connecticut White Wyandotte, 55; New York Barred Rock, 53. Segregation of Sexes Among Poultry Pays Poultry keepers, farmers especially, are advised to keep males and females in separate flocks at all times other i!? 11 du r in « le breeding season. If this advice were followed generally a loss of many millions of dollars an nually, due to deterioration of eggs would be prevented. Failure to pre vent this loss is duo to indifference in some cases, but in the great majority of instances the advice is ignored be caused of the belief that hens will lay fewer eggs if kept apart from the males, ihe following from a bulletin just issued by the Connecticut Agri cultural Experiment Station throws some light on this matter: "It was at one time thought that hens would lay fewer eggs unless there were males running with the liocks. This opinion, however, is now generally conceded to be without foun dation. As a matter of fact, the egg production of a flock of hens is very likely to drop for a week or two after males are introduced into the pen. Ihe whole point fs simply this: any unusual or unaccustomed feature such as strange attendants, radical changos in rations, removal to different quar ters introduction of males into the flocks, etc., any or all are likely to affect adversely the curve of egg pro duction. in other words, the heavy laying hen Is looked upon as a nervous sort of creature working under high tension and she should be handled lust as carefully as the dairyman does when he refuses to permit strangers around when he is milking his record cow and cautions ills help not to make unusual and disturbing noises in the dairy farm. 10 GENT "CJSnS" STRAIGHTEN YOU UP When headachy, bilious, consti pated, stomach sour, breath bad Get a 10-cent box now.

[Continued from First Page.] Business Affected All Through the Storm Zone Business in general was seriously affected by the first big snowstorm of the season which started yesterday af ternoon and to-day covered Penn sylvania, the north and eastern sec tions of New York, New Jersey, Dela ware and other States. Railroad and trolley lines were snowed up and one death from exposure was reported at Bayonne, N. J. Philadelphia reported real winter weather and heavy fall of snow. New York's troubles started at 6 o'clock last night and the big snowstorm con tinued to the New England States. Traffic on the New York Central lines has been almost halted. Snow start ed falling at Williamsport at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and business was almost at a standstill until noon to day when trains and trolley lines started to move. In Throes of Big Storm Easton was in the throes of the big storm as early as o'clock last even ing. All traffic via interurban lines was tied up. The temperature went up to 26 degrees this morning. Head ing with the entire Schuylkill Valley suffered a general demoralization of business. No cars were run to the country districts until this afternoon. Heading train service was handicap ped. In Wyoming Valley Starting at Wilkes-Barre, the en tire Wyoming Valley is In the grip of a severe blizzard. Heavy drifts have tied up all railway traffic in general. Hazleton suffered both from the snow storm and trolley strike. Snow drifts made auto busses impossible. Every body remained at home in this town to-day. The mines were not affected having been shut down for three days. Wilmington, Del., Schenectady and Utlca, N. Y., were bumped hard, and Boston reported a blizzard. Nine men were drowned when four barges went down in Long Island Sound. City Traffic Officers Have a Very Busy Time Traffic officers in this city had a busy time at Market Square this morn ing. The Isle of Safety was cleared of snow and many drivers tried to use it as a driveway rather than plunge into the piles of snow In the roadway. No wires were down in the city, the telephone, electric light and telegraph companies reported. They say the reason is that the snow w*s too light to cliiig to the wires and most of them were free from snow. Last night the Harrlsburg Light and Power Company had troublo and the current had to be shut off for a time. Thirty-seven ho boes were driven iftto police head quarters by the storm and accommo dations were given them. In the 'Cross River Towns Cross river lines were running this, morning, but they were from thirty minutes to an hour late. Drifts along the tracks were cleared as fast as they accumulated. Markets were poorly attended by the farmers this morning and many a Harrlsburg home will miss a good dinner to-morrow because of the snow. Many empty stalls In the inarkethouses told the story of the storm and Its effects In the country. Stores and offices were late In open ing this morning. Pretty stenograph ers braved the deep drifts and walked to the offices when they couldn't get ears, and stores opened half an hour later because of the late arrival of clerks. Most of those who walked were thankful that the sweeper of the trolley company had cleared the mid dle of the streets. St. Valentine and his missives suffered, too, by the storm. Messenger boys were late in arriving at the two telegraph stations, and a number of messages of love were late in reaching "her" home. Snow Stops at Noon When the snow stopped shortly be fore noon, eleven inches had fallen. This is the deepest fall since January 14, 1910, when 11.4 inches fell. A high wind continued to blow the light snow everwhere. Sleighs were not long in making their appearance after the sun began to shine, and the jingle ot the bells blended with the Bcrape of snow shov els to silence the old-fashioned guy who has been wandering why the win ters aren't like they used to be. He was keeping pretty quiet this morning. So v. ere those who scoff at the le gend centered about a certain wise little groundhog. Army of Men on Job Cleaning City Streets City Commissioner W. H. Lynch, of the Department of Streets and Public Improvements, had the street cleaning end of the situation pretty well in hand soon after daylight and before noon the waiting spaces in Market Square and the crossings in the cen tral section of the city were cleared | of snow. Before the morning was very far advanced 120 shovelers and twenty carts were in the streets and they worked steadily throughout most of' the day. The chief aim of the street cleaners was to clear the important intersection crossings, and excellent results were obtained. The extra men und carts comprised the biggest emer gency snow-fighting corps that has been on duty in many moons. Both the Board of Poor Directors anu the Associated Charities co-oper ated with the needy folks of the city in assisting them to get jobs as snow shovelers. Harrisburg's citizens foil In with the plan admirably. Men who applied to the Poor Board offices for assistance last evening were told how they could help themselves by offer ing their services as shovelers. When possible they were directed where to go tor a job. Many men last evening closed advance contracts for clearing pavements this morning. One negro reported that by 9 o'clock this morn ing lie had earned $2.10. Electric and Steam Service O. K, Despite the bllzzard-llke stylo of weather throughout the night, the electric and steain heat service of the Harrlsburg Light and Power Company wasn't Interfered with at all, with the possible execution of the little flare-up caused by the short-circuiting of a couple of wires at Fourth and Walnut streets. Several of the wires of the old overhead system which is grad ually being removed for underground services, crossed, and the result was a pretty flashing of electricity for awhile. "Our services, both electric and steam heat, felt little If any effects of the storm," said Edgar 55. Wallower, superintendent of construction, to-day. "The few wires at Fourth and Wal nut streets short-circuited and caused a flare-up, but it did no damage of any account. The lines leading to Dauphin and other nearby towns were not interfered with at all." Railroads Having Their Troubles With Big Drifts Railroads are having their troubles 'with the gigantic snow drifts that | cover the tracks and switches. Track and const ruction forces were [called out shortly before midnight and FEBRUARY 14, 1914. soon plows were started east, west, north and south. While no serious tie ups were reported on any of the roads running Into this ctly, trains were delayed from one to two hours and no attempt was made to maintain a schedule. In addition to the track force, the t Pennsylvania Railroad this morning ordered out its shopmen, including a number on the furlough list. The flrst signal that extra hands would be needed to clear the tracks was the blowing of the signal whistle at the shops last night. Extra callers were put to work and by midnight the Philadelphia and Middle division tracks were being cleared of snow drifts by a big army of men. Drifts were the principal cause of trouble, and in many places along the Middle division it was necessary to haul the snow away on cars in the cuts and narrows. Orders were is sued that no long trains were to be made up, and forty-five cars was the most sent out of the yards in one train. Double-headers were sent out in many instances and no single engines were run between Harrlsburg and Renovo and on the Baltimore division. No attempt was made to move any thing but perishable goods. Through trains from the West fall ing back on another schedule were annulled. All trains are now being run according to their importance, and in two and three sections. On the Cumberland Valley On the Cumberland Valley Railroad passenger trains were kept on the move, but very little freight was handled to-day. One train bound for Harrlsburg was stalled near Lemoyne and a train southbound went as far as the middle of the river bridge and then had to come back because the signals showed a train at the other J end. The same measures were taken to prevent a tie-up on the Cumber land Valley as on the Penney. The Reading Railway was hit hard at the Rutherford yards and between Hagerstown and Harrlsburg, where freight is exceptionally heavy at this time of the year. Fast trains en route to this city on the Philadelphia, Har risburg and Pittsburgh branch stalled at many points and the passenger traffic was held up all along the line. In the Rutherford yards shifting was done with rr.uch difficulty and outside repair work on the light draft of cars at the shops was Impossible to-day, holding many cars on the shop I tracks and uddlng to the congestion. | Passenger trains from Reading and | the East were from twenty to forty | minutes late throughout the day. : Storm Plays Havoc in Big Marysville Yards At Marysville the storm played ha voc in the big classification yards of the Pennsylvania railroad.. All the company's extra men at this point were pressed into service to keop the switches clear and the yards in op eration. Few trains wore handled and in all cases two engines were used to put the cars over the "humps." Prefer ence freight trains were cut in two and sent out from this point under two engines. Passenger trains were from ten minutes to two hours late and rail road men had great difficulty in get ting to and from their homes in this city. The Valley Traction Company was able to keep cars on schedule un til 5 o'clock this morning. After that no regular schedule was maintained and cars were unable to climb the grade at the old forgo.
