CEORGE ROSS HI'J-U Solicitor, i HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CARE OF POULTRY NOW WILL LESSEN WINTER DISEASES j Cold and Roup Prevented by Housing the Chicks Early and by Cleansing the Build ings Thoroughly By A. C. Smith Head of the Department of Poultry i Husbandry, University of Minnesota. COPYRIGHT, 1915. I'pon the rare given tlie poultry at this season depends largely the condi tion of the flock during tyinter. In tills article Professor Smith offers practical suggestions for the preven tion of disease, and gives directions Tor preparing a simple tonic that will ward off disease. He gives practical advice for the Fall care of both old and young stock. THE beginning is half the whole," as an old Greek adage says. As we trace bacjt the failures of several undertakings In poultry cul ture with which we are familiar, the conclusion forced upon us with strik ing emphasis Is that most, if not all, of them are due to poor starts. Fortunately, however, a poultryman Is permitted to make a new start every twelve months. The start, however, does not coincide with the beginning of the calendar year, but may be con sidered as beginning about this time; that is, the poultryman's year begins when he places his young stock in laying quarters. His success depends upon the amount of the winter prod uct, and that in turn depends upon the condition of his stock in the early Fall, which is without question the most critical time for the commercial poultryman. Errors of judgment and negligence in the care of stock result not only in loss of profits a little later, but often In endangering the health of the flock as well. Even if large losses by death are not incurred, production is cur tailed, cares are multiplied and ex penses increased accordingly. Under such conditions the ordinary poultry man becomes discouraged. Banger of Diseases Xow The subject of diseases is particu larly appropriate at this season, since they are more apt to be prevalent now than at any other time. The owner of a healthy flock is usually pestered at this time by neighbors who are un able to avoid the usual troubles of the season and want to know how he cures colds, roup or canker; how he kills lice or mites, and how he makes his hens lay. These and similar questions are propounded to him dailv, while the truth is that the successful poul tryman euros little, but prevents much. Cures mean increased labor and re duced production; prevention means reduced labor and increased produc tion. To the poultryman, starling the new year right means starting the Fall lay ing flock right. First, the chicks must have been hatched at the proper time, as late-hatched chicks are more sub ject to disease than those hatched earlier, which are consequently more mature and more hardy. Again, chicks must be grown upon proper range and with good care. Amateur Poaltrymen Have Good Opportunities "The Growing Importance of Amateur Poultry Raising" Mil be discussed next week by Reese V. Hicks, former president of the American Poultry Association. Mr. Hicks will discuss the economic phases of this branch of the pouU try industry and will give sugges tions as to how the amateur may start with limited capital and achieve success. He will point out the difficulties to be overcome and the dangers to be avoided. Watch tor his article in next week's issue. EXPLODES AFTER 50 YEARS Bomb Supposed to Have Been Fired by Sherman's Army Special to The Telegraph Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 2. A big bombshell, probably tired into Chat tanooga by Gen. Sherman's invading army, exploded this morning at a local brake shoe and foundry company's plant. A section of the smelting department was wrecked, but by a miracle no one was killed or injured. Through an oversight the old bombshell had got ten into a heap of scran iron, and with the scrap iron found its way into the big cupola furnace. Immediately a terrific explosion occurred and about a ton of melted and unmelted iron went skyward.

J ♦* * . 'Tis An 111 Wind That Blows All Harm R (r AIN of the kind- which fell yesterday can scarcely be termed an "ill wind" because it kept a great many folks indoors. » There were fewer shoppers, to be sure, and the P small army of workmen who are dressing our store r—- * n a new garb, seemed to glory in the fact; for rarely have they displayed such a do-it-while-you have-the-chance spirit. ■" Their efforts were unceasing; and results obtained are plainly seen. Every day couldn't be a rainy day, but if such were the case, al terations would be completed in about half time. We'd rather delay the completion, however, rather than stop serving our customers if only for a single day—a working day. i fijowmafU CALL 1001—ANY PHONE FOUNDED 1871 SILVER DUCKWING GAME BANTAMS SCHWAB WANTS PENNA STEEL CO. t [Continued From First I'asc.] [Continued From First Page.] in the Corey plans for another big steel combination. Negotiations On for Month The transactions which have been carried on for a month or more for the control of the Cambria Steel Com pany were concluded yesterday. Almost every day this week there have been conferences between Don ner and the various interests con cerned in the deal. There was an other conference yesterday, attended by Pennsylvania Railroad officials. From one of the latter it was posi tively learned that any deal in Cam bria Steel would also involve the Penn sylvania Steel. It has been known that the hitch in putting through the Cambria Steel plans has been due to the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad had tied Donner up with the understanding that if he took over Cambria he must also take over Pennsylvania Steel. It has also been common knowledge that Schwab wanted the property if for no other reason than that it com plimented the ownership of the Spar rows Point plant, the Maryland Steel Company's property, which has a large shipbuilding yard at tidewater, making a fine base for the building of submarines and the delivery of ores. Until that transaction has been closed there will probably be no an nouncement of the taking over of the Cambria Steel by the Donner interests, and delay further may be caused by the difficulties of arranging the com plicated financial problems in connec tion with the transfer of the Peniir sylvania Steel property, which is bound up with various underlying bonds. The Reading Company is also in vtlved the Pennsylvania Railroad In the control of Pennsylvania Steel stocks. The Reading is understood to hold about one-third as much Penn sylvania Steel as the Pennsylvania company. The latter's holdings amount to $9,158,300 preferred out of a total i of $20,560,800, and $7,388,900 common out of a total of $10,750,000.
