Barton, McConnellsburg, or W. U. Ranck, Hustontown, Pa, To Have County Farm Bureau. The farmers of Huntingdon county have been considering the question of establishing a farm bureau. Meetings have been held, and farm counselors from counties already provided with these institutions have met the farmers and explained the work ingsof farm bureaus to those who are not familiar with them. More than a dozen counties in the State have accepted the of fers of the National, and the State agricultural departments to maintain farm county bureaus. The county must help pay the counselor's salary, and the coun selor is then at the command of the farmers of the county to aid them in any manner whatever. The farmers constitute a big business concern as perfectly or ganized as that of any other con cern, and the counselor as at the head of the business, and there is no more hap-hazard business methods practiced as is the case where every farmer pulls for himself. The cost to the county is but a few cents for each farm er, but the returns to each farm er, who takes advantage of the bureau sometimes amounts to many hundreds of dollars. The saving in the purchase of one ton of fertilizer alone amounts to more that the individual's share of cost But the total benefit is impossible to compute, because every phase of life on the farm, from the kitchen to the market ing of all products including live stock, i3 affected.

Dispose of all roosters as soon as you have set all the hens you want to hatch, and do not replace the roosters until about two weeks before next hatching sea son. The roosters are by no means necessary for egg produc tion, and infertile eggs bring best prices, because it is the fertile eirg that spoils first. The feed that the useless roosters would consume during summer and next fall, if saved and sold, J would go a long way toward buy ing new blood. This is the ad vice of experts who have been making money out of poultry for many years. - On last Saturday, a McCon nellsburg team played a Knobs ville team at a game of baseball.
