THEY UY MQREEGGS
A Grouchy Hen Produces Five Less
a Year and Only Cheer
ful Hens Pay
The happy hen Is the one that pays;
a hen with a grouch is not worth tht>
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.

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. Ques
tions relative to chickens, water
fowl and pigeons will be answered
by Professor M. C. Kilpatrick, H.
B. Twining and W. Theo. Wlttman,
respectively. Application for the
services of a State poultry expert,
W. Theo. Wittman or Frank Kline,
may be filed with the Telegraph.
Such applications will be turned
over to A. h. Martin, Deputy Sec
retary of Agriculture, who will, so
far as possible, direct one of tlieso
experts to visit your farm or poul
try yards for consultation. Use
this service freely.
Q. 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. I have a hen that has leg weak
ness. She goes after feed eagerly,
looks well and, I believe, lays. She is
not able to stand erect, but creeps
from place to place. Will nature cor
rect this trouble in a little time or is
there something I might do for her
relief? S. F. E.
Paxtang.
Place hen in warm room and rub
joints with tincture or arnica daily.

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

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.

STORM SWEPT CITIES
OF EASTERN U. S.
[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.
