Hurrah for Rev. Seville!
That the older country church
districts are nurseries for devel
opment and well-being of city
churches should be better recog
nized by the latter. Indeed, some
of them could well afford to sup
port struggling country churches
that send efficient members to
the ministry, or to hold responsi
ble positions as workers in city
churches. Fulton county churches
have surely sent their share. As
a sample, we quote from a recent
issue of the "Lutheran Church
Work and Observer:" "Rev. C.
W. Seville, Minneapolis, Kan.,
has sent in over two hundred
subscriptions to the General
Synod's weekly paper during the
three years of its existence." In
another column we find "Rev. C.
W.Seville has increased the mem
bership of his charge 116 per
cent during the past twenty
months." Mr. Seville is a Mc
Connellsburg boy.
Trouble Ahead.
The News received a straight
tip last Monday that the ladies
who have been of marriageable
age for several years are going
to form a union of some kind for
the purpose of promoting unions
of another kind. This is leap
year, and when we remind the
men who have been of marriage
able age for a longer time than
said ladies think proper, they
will readily "smell a mice."
Gentlemen, the recent suffrage
campaign has brought to the sur
face certain characteristics of the
heretofore gentler sex that, we
fear, are going to make trouble
among some or our easy-going
single men, and we sound this
warning that said single men
may either take to the tall timber
in time, or prepare to fight from
ambush.

Turkcvs.
New York state poultry raisers
say that we Bhould make use of
natural conditions found here to
raise turkeys on our hilly lands.
They claim that adjoining land
owners should combine and have
a central incubating station and
provide on a large scale to care
or young poults until all danger
or wet weather is past. After
that a paid overseer could follow
on horse back like cowboys work,
to care for the branded flocks of
thousands of turkeys until mar
ket time.

eran parsonage was the scene of

and floor of the kitchen groaned
under the weight of the pleasing
gifts for the family larder. The
pastor and family hereby express
appreciation of the happy event.

His Hens Laid Well.
Mr. E. M. Gross, of Edgewood
Park, Pa., sent the News the fol
lowing account of his experience
with twelve hens during one year.
Part of his letter follows:
"My mother, Mrs. George
Gress, who lives in Wells Valley,
gave me twelve Brown Leghorn
pullets (not thoroughbred) which
were hatched in May, 1914. I
brought them to Edgewood Park,
a suberb of Pittsburgh, the last
of August. They began to lay on
November 6th, and from that
time until November 6, 1915, one
year, they laid 2,026 eggs. an av
erage of 1683 eggs per hen. The
value of the eggs at current
prices was $81.73, and the cost
of the feed exclusive of some
table scraps, was $27.80 for the
year mentioned. The foregoing
is not a fair account, for I did
not have twelve hens all that
time, having began to dispose of
them in September, 1915, to make
room for some pullets I brought
from Fulton county last August,
so that by November Cth, when
the year wa3 up, I had but few of
the original flock. It is my opin
ion that it does not pay to keep
hens the second year when they
have laid well during their first
year. I think there is only one
good year's laying in a hen.
"In general, the feed for these
hens was, with some little varia
tion, as follows: Whole wheat in
the morning thrown into four to
six inches of straw litter. At
noon, a warm mash, and in the
evening, whole corn, with a little
wheat or oats mixed with it occa
sionally. Dry bran and grit were
constantly before the hens. A
little sprouted oats were fed when
snow covered the ground, and an
occasional head of cabbage was
given."
Children's Pets.
Luther Burbank, the wizard
who gave us so many new varie
ties of fruits, flowers and plants,
voices his sentiments in favor of
children's pets in hi3 system of
"Training the Human Plant"
Mr. Burbank says:
"Every child should have mud
pies, grasshoppers, water bugs,
tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, el
derberries, wild strawberries,
acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb,
creeks to wade in, water lilies,
woodchucks, bats, bees, butter
flies, various animals to pet, hay
fields, pine cones, rocks to roll,
sand, snakes, huckleberries and
hornets, and any child who has
been deprived of these has been
deprived of the best part of his
education. By being well ac
quainted with all these they come
into the most intimate harmony
with nature, whose lessons are,
of course, natural and wholesome."
