MYSTERY AND HORR
BEAUTIFUL SECTION
Murders, Suicides and Accidents Have Been Occurring at Irre-
gular Intervals For Many Years in Lancaster
County Near Mount Joy
Mount Joy, Pa., April 14.—The
most recent of a long list of fatalities
which occurred near the "Ridge of
Death," was that of Harry H. Kline,
who was horribly mangled near his
home at Florin, by a railroad train, a
short time ago. Less than two years
ago, Thomas McSlione met his death
by being badly mangled by a train a
short distance west of Florin. The
week before Mrs. Edward Bosser was
instantly killed by a runaway horse,
while going to church at Elizabeth
town. A few months before that Mar
tin Seachrist met his death by a
swift running passenger train near the
same place where McShone was kill
ed. That fearful "Ridge of Death," as
it is generally called, is in Lancaster
county, in the midst Of a beautiful and
peaceful community, a stretch of
ground which seems to harbor an in
fluence so malign and fiendishly
bloody 'and cruel that only an endless
toll of human victims can satisfy it.
Murder and suicide have for years
gone on in that dreadful vicinity. Mys
tery and horror are the elements that
surround the "Ridge of Death," which
is in Mount Joy township, winding
along the northern side of the wel
known Gravel Hills, and skirting the
extreme limits of Milton Grove. Be
ginning at the base of the Green Hills
it runs westward for a few miles until
it terminates at a riverlet close to the
Oakdale sehoolhouse. At a spot known
as "Bulrush Clump," the horrors of
sudden death by accident, suicide and
even murder, seem to await men and
HOW TO CONSTRUCT
AN INCUBATOR CELLAR
Uniform Temperature, Mois
ture and Perfect Ventila
tion Are the Essential Fea
tures
Concrete Among Best Ma-j
terials For Walls and
Floor; It Is Easy to Build
By liobert Armstrong
Expert Poultryman and Writer. I
On poultry farms of any size, espe
i dally those that make a specialty of
tlay-old chicks and custom hatching', a
suitable place for the operation of an
incubator is highly important. Incu
| bators are run in a great variety of
I places and under varying conditions,
j but for best results at the least labor
and vvorrimcnt to the operator a cellar
'or basement provides the most gcncr
j ally satisfactory environment. The
i following article contains a design for
an improved type of cellar, with Jn
(structions for building it.
SOME poultry raisers claim that an
incubator can be operated any- j
where—in the barn, attic, cellar, I
'loft, shed, spring house, in the kitchen,!
| parlor or in a tent. Ue that as it may, j
| authorities agree that the best loca- J
j tion is where the atmosphere is more!
j or less moist, where the temperature |
t is to a great extent uniform, and cool, j
and where it is possible to obtain |
plenty of ventilation at the same time. |
1 The air in the room for an incubator j
j must be sweet and fresh, or the eggs'
I will not receive the oxygen which they
] absolutely require.
j The above-mentioned conditions are
'seldom found in buildings above;
j ground, especially in frame structures, |
i hence the custom of running incuba- j
I tors in cellars and basements, and the 1
popularly accepted idea that they
must be run in such places. Where i
| only a few machines are used they I
, are usually operated in the cellar of
| the poultrytnan's dwelling, which is a j
i good idea, except that it is advisable
! to partition off a tight room for the ]
. machines, so that the heat from a fur- |
nace, if there is one, or drafts from
| windows or doors will not affect the
hatches. Where the incubator equip- j
i ment is extensive, particularly where i
| mammoth machines are used, best re
suits are secured when the apparatus 1
is housed in a cellar specially built for !
the purpose. •
Tt Is often desirable to hatch in the
late spring and even in the summer
i months, but if the incubator is run in
| a house above ground, which is quickly
heated by the sun's rays, it is difficult,
almost' impossible for the operator to
keep the temperature of the egg
chambers low enough. Because the
I temperature of most structures above
I ground varies widely every twenty
! four hours, and because it is virtually
: out of the question to maintain mois
! ture in such places except by radically
artificial means, operating incubators
: under these circumstances necessi
tates constant regulation and watch
; frig.
Essentials of a Good Cellar
The ideal cellar or structure in
which to run a machine is built about
two-thirds below the ground level,
J which affords a fairly uniform, cool
temperature, and one-third above the
ground, which permits of adequate
I ventilation. in selecting a site, the
lirst thing to consider is dralnaKe, and
on this account a hillside or high, dry j

. children. Years ago, among the early
settlers were John Kinsley and his
wife. They lived happily together in
one of the humble cabins of that
period. Kinsley returned home one
day and found his wife hanging by a
| hempen rope at the rear of the cabin
| dead.
Almost immediately there followed
the tragedy of Fianna Doty, a fate
remembered with horror by the rc-tgii
borhood to this day, wlieii her cabin
caught tire and the falling timbers,
by some strange chance, barred every
■ avenue of escape, and she was liter -
I ally roasted to death at her cwn
I hearth stone.
j Barely a year elapsed until Henry
| Hilt was found dead in the adjacent
| grove with his skull crushed in by the
| bludgeon of an assassin whose ulen-
J tity has never been learned.
I A few months later Johannes Fissel
I was discovered dead .at the end o!' a
rope with which he hanged himself to
a tree on the death ridge.
The next year Frederic Kiser n>et
his fate there at the hands of highway
men who robbed and murdered him
and his body was found by a party of
woodmen.
In appalling succession (here lol
i lowed a chain of fatalities. Henry
j Ireby, in descending a hill on horse
-1 back at the western terminus, was
thrown from his mount. He fell on his
head and broke his neck. I lis body was
j buried by the roadside,
i A little later, scarcely twenty yards
i from the spot wrere Irely fell, the
ground is preferable. It is well, also,
to consider the location of the cellar
in relation to the brooder house, dwell
ing and other conveniences. Remem
ber that it will be visited often, from
early in the morning until late at
night, and in every kind of weather,
which means some very bad weather,
consequently it should be built with
the idea of "accessibility.
The cellar may be erected in con
junction with a brooder house, laying
house, granary or other building, or it
may be built as shown in the accom
panying sketch, as a separate unit,
with a gable roof. For the conveni
ence of this article we will consider
it as an independent building, though
it is easily converted into any other
modification.
The cellar shpuld be large enough
to allow the attendant to work around
the machine conveniently. If small
machines are being used at the time
of building the cellar, it is best to pro
vide for the installation of a mam
moth machine at some future time,
that is, to make the cellar wide
enough to accommodate one of the
large, coal-burning types. Mammoth
machines require a cellar w : idth of
about twelve feet, and a ceiling height
of seven feet. Eight feet is. better.
Most machines are of the two-sided
type—with compartments on both
sides. Passageways at least, three feet
wide should be allowed for the hand
ling or egg trays. Two mammoth
machines may be set up side by side
in a cellar twenty feet wide, with
plenty of room for convenient opera
tion. A 1,200-egg machine requires a
cellar length of eighteen feet, and
each additional section of about 300
eggs requires four extra feet.
Construction in Detail
In order to save on the labor of ex
cavating, we recommend making the
finished floor level about three feet be
low the natural grade, and using what
earth is removed from the hole to
throw up an embanlcment around the
cellar. This will secure the desired
depth by low ground at the least ex
pense. The walls should be built of
stone, brick or concrete, und the floor
should be made of cement, also the
[ entrance steps and area way. In the
accompanying diagram wo present a
design for a cellar of concrete, 40 feet
long and 14 feet wide, outside meas
urements, with a ceiling height of 7 V 4
l'eet in the clear. The structure is
made of concrete, because this mate
rial has come into general farm use,
and may be erected by the poultry
man himself with the assistance of or
dinary farm labor. Anyone who can
handle a hatchet and saw and build a
wooden form, can execute a satisfac
tory concrete job, whereas a certain
amount of skill is required to lay up
stone or brick masonry.
The work of keeping the floor water
proof should be taken up in connec
tion with the excavation. Excavate to
a depth of nine inches below the fin
ished floor level, and (ill it in with six
Inches of broken stone, cinders, broken
tile, brick bats or any other hard,
porous material that will obtain per
fect drainage. Never use ashes. Tamp
this foundation material to a solid bed,
! and it is then ready for the concrete
floor slab, which should be about
I three inches thick. The floor should
i lie pitched to drain, for cleaning pur
poses. And if the cellir is located in
particularly wet ground, a line of agri
cultural tile may be laid through the
foundation material led away
from the building to lower ground or
to a dry well. We would use a finish
ing coat of cement on the floor, or else
trowel the concrete to a smooth sur
face.
The walls should be about eight |
body of an unknown suicide was
found. His body was buried beneath
the tree on which he had hinged
himself.
Mrs. Greenawalt arriving at the
spot one day died in a mv -terious
manrer and her body was burled at
the c'.ump of trees where she die.l.
Following the ridge eastward you
coir.e to the close-set bushes where
John I'ulmer's body was discovered
by purine a, after being hidd vi foi
st.-oral di.ys. The cause of his death '.s
a mys.ei;' to this day.
Upon the highest spar of the lis JI
range, the wandering traveler will coo
| the foinict dwelling of Valentin
Zerphy, whose son John, was dragged
to a horrible death by a frightened
colt.
I Standing in the doorway of the
! same house you can see where David
j Martin, another tenant of the ill-fated
! house, met the body of his son, Jacob,
! when his neighbors brought the young
man home from the scene of his sud
! den and unsolved death, probably in
flicted by an unknown assassin.
The most sincere piety has no ex
orcism, as nearby is the spot where
Anna, the 'devoted daughter of the
Rev. Jacob L. Eshleman, was found
dead by the roadside.
Go to the adjoining farmhouse and
you can step into the room where
they laid the torn and mangled body
of its owner, Michael Readier, after
he was dragged to death by his un
away horse.
Turn to the western cliffs and you
can see the spot where Henry Walters,
young and but recently married man,
hanged himself to a chestnut sap
ling.
A little way to the west of the
"Ridge of Death," you see the graves
of the Kreider family, father, mother
and four children, all murdered at the
same time.
Miss Lillian Arndt, of Milton Grove,
committed suicide by leaping out of a
four-story window, a distance of
forty feet to the pavement below.
Only a few weeks before David
! Ober, one of her neighbors met death
i by a runaway horse.
I inches thick, as shown. For the con
crete throughout we would use the fol
lowing' jtroportion: 1 part cement, 2
parts sand, and 5 parts crushed stone,
i pebbles, cinders or slag. The sand
should be clean, sharp and coarse, and
! the large aggregate must be free of
; loam, clay or organic matter. We
would use a cement that is guaranteed
I to meet the United States Government
standard. See that it is fresh and in
no way affected by moisture. Need
! less to say, it must be stored in a dry
place, as even dampness will cause ce
ment to set, and it is then worthless.
Measure the ingredients for con
crete; don't guess at them; and mix
them thoroughly. The secret of good
; concrete is to have the ingredients so
thoroughly mixed that no two grains
of sand or pieces of stone lie together
! without an intervening coating or film
of cement, to insure perfect adhesion.
Forms for concrete, while they are
simply falsework and afterward re
moved, should be securely built of
fairly good material. They should he
strong enough to hold the weight of
the concrete without budging out of
shape. Plan them so there will be no
difficult, measurements to understand
and aim to use them over and over
again, as much as possible, which
greatly reduces their cost. They
should be adequately braced in sec
tions best adapted to Ihe work, and
in sizes that are convenient to handle.
I To estimate the quantities of ingred
ients required for a concrete job,
which will also give you an idea of the
cost, lirst figure the cubical contents
get the actual volume or capacity of
the forms in cubic feet. Let this
product represent the quantity of
crushed stone, cinders or whatever is
used for the large aggregate. Then,
if the desired proportion or mixture
| for the concrete is 1—2 , /i —s, since
I!Vi is one-half of 5, the necessary
sand, or small aggregate, will be one-

Insure Perfect Ventilation
! Proper ventilation is imperative.
• !The egg chambers of the incubator
! must be generously supplied with
" | fresh air at all times, yet there should
" !be no risk of driving rains or direct
! ; currents of air blowing on the ma
, chine. The windows are therefore
I fitted with double sash, as shown, the
, inner sash to open in and down, and
• the outer sash to open out and up.
f In this manner a free circulation of
3 ;air is established. The windows are
, spaced about four feet apart. It is
a good plan to lit them with cellar-
II window wire or small mesh netting, to
1 exclude cats and other marauders.
_ j The roof is framed with 2x4-ineh
rafters, spaced about two feet on cen
_ jters, overlaid by sheathing boards and
" j covered with a reliable grade of ready
' to-lay patent rooting or, the rafters
! may be shingle-lathed and a roof built
j of shingles. The ceiling joists are
2x4-inch material, secured to the
_ | plates, which are of similar material,
ri and spaced about two feet apart. The
. loft space between the ceiling and the
under side of the roof should be ven
" itilated in some way, either at the
~ gables or by a ventilator. If a half-
story is built over the incubator cel
, lar, this loft space makes a good stor
fiase room and a particularly suitable
.J place for drying and curing feathers.
j Most mammoth incubators are
. j heated by coal-burning, hot-water fur
! naces, consequently a chimney or flue
|of some kind is required. A concrete
' : chimney may be built very easily,
' using terra cotta tile flue lining for
j Ithe inside form, and a wooden struc
ture for the outside form. Build the
' I entrance steps as shown, and pro-vide
"ja substantial, generous door.

Since the advent of the incubator
a branch of the poultry Industry
• haw evolved, which was never even
dreamed of by the most visionary,
• and which has exceeded the most
sanguine expectations—the day-old
s i chick business. There will l>e an
S j interesting article oil this subject
