Jts equipment consists, accord ing to official statement, of two engines und four ears. Only one of the locomo tives is in use steadily, however, und when it is in the roundhouse the resi dents of the town know that no trains are on the road. The general manager and purchasing agent is J, P. (letter, u physician of Belleville, His wife, Clara W. (letter, is treasurer of the line. The engineer of the locomotive in use is master me chanic, superintendent of motive pow er and several other things as well, and it is said of him that he has an easy time of it unless something happens to break, when he has to work all night, ii need be, in repairing the damage. Special trains are frequently run over the line by fishing- parties to some of the trout streams along the route. The "trains" arc handcars, borrowed for the time being, and operated by section hands, The principal traffic over the road tomes from an extensive canning estabBshment at one of the stations.

Whitewashing the pens is supposed to lie a great remedy, and without doBbt it is a good one. but it Is possible for the pens to be kept clear of lice with out the use of lime. We realize the" fact that whitewashing has its disad vantages. Not only does the pen soon iret to looking very dirty inside, on ac count of all dirt showing on the while background, but very often the pens become a nuisance Id that one cannot etep inside them without having the marks remain on his clothes. There are washes that may be used und be quite effective a.s lime.

When the supply of grasshop pers, bugs, flies and worms fails, itinay be furnished from the table, the scrap x)t or the mnrket. Green food may be furnished in cabbage, vegetables, ap ples or cut clover. A warm breakfast should be given on cold days and there should be no lack in the supply of drink. A meat diet with grain and vegetables in essential to the well being of fowls during the cold weather, when worms, bugs and insects are not to be found hy the birds, but in summer the fowls can secure such foods for themselves.
