success. John Nissley, a patriotic
citizen of Perry county has placed the
Stars and Stripes on the summit of
Mt. Patrick, opposite this place. It
can be seen from Millersburg. A
large congregation was present in the
M. E. Church Sunday evening to wit
ness the unfurling of a handsome silk
flag presented to the church by J. A.
W. Brubaker. Little Miss Adele Bru
baker, a daughter of Mr. Brubaker
unfurled the flag. —H. W. Bowman,
in behalf of the donor, made a speech,
presenting the banner to the church,
after which the pastor, the Rev. W.
C. Skeath, preached a stirring patrio
tic sermon. A novel sight was pre
sented to the people of Millei'sburg
this week when two of the flags of
the entente allies, the French and
English, were thrown to the breeze
between the Stars and Stripes at the
Johnson-Baillee shoe factory plant in
South Market street. The coal stor
age plant of the Susquehanna Coal
Company at McClellan, Is ctosed down
for an indefinite period. Almost all
the coal stored at that place has been
shipped to market during the winter,
when the plant gave employment to
about 200 men. —• Russell Snyder,

HOW TO BUILD A
VERTIBLE
Rearing Young Stock is
Troublesome Unless the
Proper Facilities are Pro
vided
Design for a Combination
Brooder - Colony - Laying
House of Simple Ideas
By ROBERT ARMSTRONG
Expert Poultrymuii and Writer
It has been conclusively proven that
if chickens arc to lc raised in large
numbers on a really profitable basis,
they must be hatched artificially. If
incubated artificially then they must
be brooded by artificial heat; for a
chick requires a tcm|>erature of from
90 to 100 degrees for the first month
or six weeks of its life. The success
of a poultry plant depends upon these
two processes, more especially brood
ing. Most of the dlfliculties are due
to improper brooding facilities—either
defective brooding apparatus or the
brooder house is to blame. This ar
ticle lias to do with tin- design for
a brooder house of known practabil-
Hatching is comparatively simple.
If given strong fertile eggs, reliable
incubators are almost certain to bring
off satisfactory hatches. The machines
are usually operated in ttfb cellar,
where the temperature is fairly uni
form, and they are probably closely
assembled so that it is easy to care
for them. But after the hatching—
from the time the chicks leave the
shelter of the incubator until they are
ten days old; in fact, until they are
weaned from the brooder, come en?
tirely different circumstances. The
poultryman is liable to regard life as
a very serious proposition during this
period. If .things do not break right,
no phase of poultry raising is likely
Ito prove so distressing and trouble
some as the rearing of young stock.
Yet, if this part of the work can be
accomplished without serious mishap,
it is a truly delightful, interesting task.
Chicks require warmth, sunshine,
fresh air, exercise and stimulating
food. With the exception of the lat
ter, all of these essentials are ob
tained by th brooder. Yes, even ex
ercise is governed by conditions found
in the brooder, without which leg
weakness and countless other troubles
result.
Methods of Chick Rearing
There are many kinds of brooding
apparatus and a wide variety of
brooder houses; lack of space forbids
a detailed description of them. In the
main they are divided into three gen
eral classes; 1, the small outdoor
brooder, of about fifty chick capacity,
2, the long brooder house with narrow
pens and yards, heated by overhead
hot water pipes or individual lamps,
3, the colony brooder of 500 to 1,500
chick capacity, heated by liquid-fuel-

burning or coal-burning hot-air i
stoves.
In the small outdoor brooder we |
find the great trouble lies in taking
care of so many small units, scattered
over a large area, especially in stormy
weather. Kuthermore, instead of an
even temperature, or one with consid-"
erable reserve, in the small brooder i
we find a variation of perhaps 30 |
degrees between noon and midnight,
with nothing but the close supervision |
and untiring efforts of the attendant |
to meet this irregularity. He must j
guard against weakening the brood i
by having them overheated, or hav
ing them chilled, which is still worse
for them. Unqestionably, this method !
is productive of excellent results, j
if one has the time and pa-1
tience to devote to it. Large units i
do not raise quite so many chicks i
as the smaller ones, because the mor- j
tality due to accidents is greater in j
the larger units; but, commercial |
poultrymen figure, and correctly so, j
that it is easier and cheaper to pro
vide extxra chicks than extra labor.
The long brooder house is the easi- i
est way to care for little chicks. All
the work is done on the inside, storms •
hold no dread for the caretaker, the I
temperature is more uniform, and it i
has a big reserve heat. But, because j
the chicks are necessarily yarded so I
close together, and because such I
numbers are reared on the same'
ground year after year, it is difficult I
to safeguard the flocks against disease. |
Moreover, this sort of a brooder house
is the most expensive building on the
farm, and because it cannot he used
for other purposes, it must lie idle for
six months of each year. Hot water
piped br'ooder houses were extensively
used at one time, but they are now
rarely built, except vipon plants where
expense is a secondary consideration,
and where it is desired to hatch the
greater part of the year.
Virtues of the Brooder Stove
Thus, there was a demand for a
brooding device which would perform
its work on a large scale, at the
least possible cost for buildings, for
fuel, for operating costs, and so on. I
The brooder stove was the outcome of!
this demand. It didn't just happen; I
it evolved. The large stoves, those!
havig a capacity of 500 chicks or!
more, and using coal for fuel, have'
come into general use in the East i
in the past four years, whereas in the'
poultry-growing districts of California !
oil-burning stoves of this character,
have been used for some time.
Ten years ago, if one had advocated :
brooding chicks in flocks of a
thousand or fifteen hundred, the j
sanity of such an exponent would
have been severely questioned. The
idea seems radical to some people to
day, but it has proven entirely practi
cal.
Why the Stove Is So lOffectlve
In many of the earlier brooding
appliances there were, generally
speaking, two distinct tejnperatures
and no gradations of heat; the inter
16r temperature of the hover, so fre
quently stuffy and hot, and the out
side air, which is very apt to be too
cold. Either of these the chick had
to accept, and both were weakening

The brooder stove is a high power
furnace capable of radiating a
I deal of heat, which, by means of a
widespread sheet iron deflector, is dis
tributed downward over the backs of
the chicks, where it is most needed.
W hen taken from the incubator di-j
rect to • the brooder the chicks In
] stinctively learn to form a circle
around the stove with a precision that
is remarkable. Without any assistance!
from the attendant, they will guage |
their distance from the base of the:
j stove entirely by the intensity of the j
j heat most comfortable to them. In i
| other words, the stove provides a |
I gradual decrease in temperature, from I
j the base, which is very hot, to the j
| farthest corners of the room, which i
| can be kept as cool as desired by ven- j
j tilatlon.
j This arrangement of heating, whch i
| combined with proper ventilation, is [
unquestionably the most practical sys- j
tem, for it permits every chick to |
j seek the degree of warmth best suited |
to its individual comfort and well be- |
ing. No matter how painstaking the
j attendant may be, nor how hard ho |
! may struggle to make a brood com
fortable,, only the chicks themselves |
j know the warmth they require. Their i
! impulse is more accurate than all the
j thermostats ever invented.
A brooder stove does not require
I any special type of building, any more
| than the house shall be fairly well
| constructed, weather proof, dry and
I capable of being ventilated without
direct drafts. The stove may be in
stalled in a colony house, and later,
| when the brood no longer requires
artificial heat, the stove may be re
j moved and the same quarters used
for rearing + he young stock. Or,

i buildings.
Brootler, Colony and Laying House
The accompanying sketch illus
trates a building primarily intended
for a brooder house, but which may
be utilized as a colony house, too, and
as a laying house, by simply adding
! roosting compartments and nests. The
| house is common sense in every detail,
i and represents the greatest economy
I consistent with strong construction
' and general security. A brooder
j house must be tight; it must be warm.
' A leaky, drafty house is wasteful, not
! alone in the losses due to a heavy
, mortality, but in the extra fuel re
quired to heat the building.
The house as shown is 16 feet
square, which will accomodate a stove
!of 1,000-chick capacity. In Fix. 1
the building is erected <a couple of
feet above the ground on concrete
piers, and has wooden lioor. If a
dirt floor is contemplated it is advis
able to put down a concrete wall for
the foundation, as shown in Fig. 2.
A wooden sill is laid on top the wall,
bolted to it, upon which the studding
or framework is erected.
In Fig. 1 the piers are in three
rows, supporting the sills at intervals
of about five feet. The sills are 3xß-in.
timbers, supporting the floor joists of
3x6-in. material on 16-in. centers. The
framework is constructed mainly from
2x4-in. stuff, including the rafters,
which have a comparatively short
span on a roof of this type. The walls
may consist of matched boards, cov
ered with patent roofing, novely sid
ing, or weather boards. The first
named is the cheapest and equally
as durable as any other material.
Shingles do not wear well on roofs
of low pitch, hence this house is roof
ed with a good grade of patent roof
ing, laid on sheathing boards of
matched lumber.
Perhaps the most noteworthy fea
ture of this house is its system of ven
tilation. In the four corners of the
room, about fifteen Inches above the
floor line, are cut circular openings
in the wall about six Inches in diam
eter. These are fitted with galvan
ized iron stovepipe and elbows In the
form of an S-shaped ventilator, point

Carlisle Nest of Owls
Purchase Club Building
For Use as Headquarters
The Carlisle nest of the Order of
Owls yesterday purchased the Carlisle
Club building in High street, near the
town square for their new club quar
ters. The consideration was $6,000
and plans will at once be started to
fit the building for lodge purposes.
The Carlisle Club-during the past
week purchased the home of A. R.
Rupley and will move to that
building within a short time.
The first floor of the new Owl quar
ters is fitted for club quarters while
the social, pool and dining rooms arc
located on the second floor. The third
floor contains lodge rooms. Teh Car
lisle nest has a membership of 168
while the women's nest, oragnized last
night, has eighteen charter members.
Mrs. H. C. Morgan was in charge
of the organiaztion meeting of the
Carlisle ladies nest, the meeting be
ing held in the Grand Army hall at
Carlisle. A second meeting will be
held next Wednesday night when offi
cers will be nominated and additional
members elected. Mrs. Morgan will
preside at this meeting.
The local ladies nest met last night
in the quurters in the Cameron hall,
Second and Walnut streets, jind elect
ed thirty-six new members to the
order. The lodge now has a member
ship roll of over 200 and is rapidly
growing. It. was decided to appro
priate S2O toward expenses of hiring
the Tyrol Military band which accom
panied the patriotic parade to-day.
More than a score of the ladies
marched with the procession. A social
will be held In the Board of Trade
auditorium on the night of April 30,
which will be open to members'
families. The charter will close at
this time.
ing. The subject of the sermon will
be: "Why We Love Our Country," by
the Rev. H. L<. Gerstmyer. The Boy
Scouts have been appointed as a com
mittee to decorate the church. Special
music -will be rendered. Miss Arline
Brown, of Rising Sun, Md., is visiting
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward

a severe attack of Indigestion last
Thursday, is able to be about again.
ing downward on the outside. Over
the inside a screen is placed to pre
vent chicks from flying into it, and
a damper is fitted in the elbow to
control the intake of fresh air.
The house is ceiled on the inside
face of the studding, and to the under
side of the collar beams which tie the
rafters together. Where the stove
pipe passes through this ceiling on
its way to the chimney, a ventilating
well or duct is built about 80 inches
square, which is fitted with doors
to regulate the escape of foul ai.r into
the loft space above. This loft space
in turn is ventilated by an opening
in either gable, fitted with louvers,
or oblique slats like a Venetian blind,
to keep out rains.
The front of the house contains
three large sash which make up the
greater part of the wall, and fairly
flood the interior with sunlight. These
windows are hinged at the top and
made to open outward, permitting ad
ditional ventilation on v'ery warm
days. Each end of the house has
a large sash, arranged horizontally,
and the upper half of the entrance
door may be of glass. In the summer
time when the brooder is being used
as a colony house, or when occupied
as a laying house, the front sash may
be removed at the discretion of the
attendant, and curtain frames of mus
lin substituted. The building is then
converted into practically an open
front house.
!It may surprise those who have]
but a casual knowledge of tur- ]
keys to learn that there are seven]
different domestic varieties, rang-]
ing in color from black to white, j
and all having certain points of ex- 5
cellence. The advantages of each]
breed wfll be discussed in next]
week's article, and may help you]
to make your selection. j
