The Liquor business may be a profitable business, but it is no longer a popular business in Fulton County, if the interest taken last week to prevent tbo granting of any licenses, and the placing of Fulton in the Dry column is an index. Every ses sion of Court which ran from Wednesday afternoon until Fri day was thronged with interest ed men and women. The appli cants were in the hand3 of M. R. Shaffnerand Charlie Walters, and the Antis were championed by John P. Sipes, assisted by J. Day Brownlee, Sr., attorney and general counsel for the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League. There were lots , of witnesses, and the matter was threshed with legal skill and' ability. At the close of the evidence and argument, the President judge and his two associates, Wm. Mellott and George P. Mock retired to a private room for consultation. After an hour had elapsed, the Court returned and announced that the appli cations of Wilbur K. Shaffner at Burnt Cabins aud Jefferson Harris at McConnellsburg, had been refnsed. The application of Chas. Ehalt,, of the Fulton House was held under advise ment. In the cases of Wilbur, Shaffner at Burnt Cabins, and Jerf Harris at the City Hotel, Judge McPherson announced that he and Mr. Mellott, had voted against the applications, and Mr. Mock for them. This disposition left Fulton County with but one license, the City Hotel, which expires on the 31st of March. Ehalt's expired on the 17th. Thompson W. Peck, Dead. The many friends of Thompson W.

For many years it has been the favorite advice of Theo. Wittman of the Pennsylvania De partment of Agriculture to feed hens to produce eggs. Njw that gram prices are bigh and egg pi ices, believed by many to be too low in proportion, he is more than ever repeating this axiom, "that to make a hen lay is to fe.d her heavily in food she likes." Mr. Wittman is per suaded that a hen will make eggs only from surplus food after her own body wants have been supplied .rat, and that heavier she is fed the larger the surpius and the larger the chance for eggs, and that the smaller thn a mount of surplus food the smaller chance for eggs Observation has satisfied tho poultry expert that a great layer Is a great feeder, and also that a great feeder ceases to be such when the food ceases to be phal li bio It is true and Mr. Wittman freely admits that when certam hens are fed heavily they become hog fat and cease ti lav at ' all. He declares that these hens are not layers, but steers, and like steers bhould go to the butcher. To "Break" A Broody lien. When hens become broo.ly and it is not desired to allow them to hatch chickens, they should be "on ben up" as quickly as possible. The soooer this is done the sooner they will resume laying. To break a tea of broodmess she bhould be con fined to a small crop, preferably with a slat boitom. Give her plenty of water to drink; she may bo fed or not, as desired. Not much difference will be found in the time required to break her of bloodiness whether she is fed r made to fast. Usually three to fcix days of confinement will do the work, but some hens re quire ten or twelve days. The oroody hen will be recognized by her inclination to stay on the nest at night, the ruffling of hor feathers and her desire to pick anyone who approaches her, and by the clucking noise she makes. When thee symptoms disap pear, she has been "broken up." Cheese Work Grows In West Work to develop cheese manu facture in the Western Stites, begun '.n July, 1916, hHS result ed ia 12 new cheese factories, says the annual report of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. Improvement of the milk supply produced a better quality of cheese and greater yields. One factory re ported that the improvement of the milk supply tdone increased the net income of cheese at least $3,000 a year. Possibilities for expansion of choeso work in the West are said to be almost limitless, but no effort is being made to encourage the establish ment of factories where there are not cows enough or where other circumstances prevent operations.

The thermometer register ed 18 below, Saturday, and it was not warmer Sunday. The snow is now anywhere from six inches to four feet, and badly drifted in places. Farmers have a time keeping in feed for their stock.
