hlton Freed from Toll.
The last toll road in .Fulton
County was consigned to
oblivion last Thursday, when the
State and the respective counties
took over the Waynesboro, Green
castle, and Mercersburg turn
pike, that intersects with the
Lincoln Highway at the east end
of McConnellsburg. This infor
mation will be hailed with de
light by our people. ThiB road
has been in an abominably bad
condition for several years, and
yet, tourists were held up at re
gular intervals, and the f u 1 1
amount of toll exacted.
The turnpike company receiv
ed something like $60,000.00 for
the road. Of this sum, the State
paid one-half, Franklin County,
$24,612.00 and Fulton about
$600.00.
The road will be put in good
condition just as rapidly as funds
are available, and all the traffic
for Mercersburg, Greencastle,
Hagerstown, Baltimore and
Washington, will be deflected
from the Lincoln Highway at
McConnellsburg, instead o f hav
ing to go via Chambersburg, as
heretofore.
Got There Just The Same
Jesse Barnett, Roy Early, Claire
and Fred Heckman, and Harry
SwoDe-all of Wells Valley, were
ordered to appear before the local
examining board last Friday, and
as the roads were bad, Harry
Spangler felt that he would only
be doing a small bit toward win
ning the war for Democracy, by
hitching up a pair of his good
sturdy farm horses to' a sled and
taking the boys in to McConnells
burg. This worked all right un
til they reached the Lincoln High
way, where the snow had been
scraped off; but not to be outdone,
they commandeered Howard Hoi
linshead's big motor truck atHar
risonville. and reached McCon
nellsburg in good time for exam
ination and a good dinner.

Early Hatching Profitable.
One ot the serious drawbacks
to profitable poultry keeping in
Pennsylvania is the late maturity
of pullets. Too many of our
chickens are hatched in the
months of May, J une and J uly and
do not come to maturity before
February or March when eggs
are cheapest. Sucessful poultry-
men throughout the State think
it highly desirable to hatch tbeir
chickens so that they will come
to maturity early in the fall and
ay high priced eggs. Now is the
time to plan for winter eggs for
another year. In order to obtain
the highest yields of eggs in the
months of November, December
and January, II C. Knadel, of the
poultry extension department of
the Pennsylvania State College,
advises farmers to rely almost en
tirely upon pullets.. If these
pullets are balched at the right
time and are good, vigorous
stock, they should be laving by
the first of November. Of the
heavier breeds, such as Wyan
dottes, .Rocks, and Reds, the
months of February and March
are found to be the most suitable
for incubation: Iu the case of
the Leghorns a great deal of suc
cess bas been attained by the
hatching of them in February and
March so that they will lay by
the first of September.
One can count upon their lay-
log through September, October
and Novem ber when the eggs are
highest in price and then, use
ally, they go into a mouH in Dec
ember. However, this can be
overcome in some degree by
batching out a later brood to that
this brood can take the place of
the chickens which are going in
to moult Thus we can more
nearly attain a definite egg pro
duction through the entire year.
It has been proved beyond a
doubt that quick growth means
less cost prodnction ot both
eggs and meat and this quick
growth is seldom found in late
hatched cbickeos.
