They may be referred to as Greenland [sk Alaskan Eskimos inos, huskies and malamnt and each one differs from the others in many re Spects. Even the s chow and Samoyed ire frequently called Eskimo or sled dogs, having earned the right to the latter name through their willingness to become drift animals in the native countries, observes a writer in the Detroit News, In setting the standard for this brede, the Eskimo Dog Club of Amer ica states: “The Eskimo dog is one of the Known of work dogs in the world and should not confused with the smaller breeds that best breeds be have borrowed his name. “The real Eskimo dogs, originating in Greenland, Labrador and the north ern part of this continent, are nature's product for sled dog work. Being a draft animal for centuries in the Arc tic regions, he has developed a pow- erful body and heavy coat. “Although large boned and of rugged build, many specimens are beautiful and as attractive as show types in other breeds. The color and markings are wide and may be hlack. white, wolf gray, blue gray and all shades of tan and buff or combina- tions of all. The animals range in welght from 65 tc 85 pounds and are about 25 inches high at the shoulders.” Vocabulary for Pictures of Nature Badly Needed One who writes of nature, needs be eloquent.

Silo History The silo has an interesting history and its ancient origin outdates that of the barn and crib, according to an au- thority at the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. It was probably first used by the Teutons as a pit for making that old culinary favorite, sauerkraut. Julius Caesar adopted the idea of storing feed for his ani- mals during the Roman eampaigns, and the word “silo” itself is derived from the Latin ‘“sirus” or “silus.” meaning cellar. The first silos close ly followed the Latin conception. They were mere holes in the ground lined with straw or stone and filled with cut fodder, principally peas, beans, lentils clover, or cabbage. The pioneer set tlers along the rough shores of New England found the ground difficult to dig and surmounted the obstacle by building their pits above ground. So ’ w» ac) POVLIRY EXPERTS AT ODDS ON PULLETS, HENS ‘Tests Show Older Birds Are the Best Breeders. There is a vast variety and differ ence of opinion as to the use of the more mature pullets as breeders or the use of hens for this purpose. Ohio's experiment station seems to have found a difference in the mortal- ity of pullets from pullet matings and pullets from hen matings greatly in favor of the latter. These Ohio find- ings of excessive mortality, running as high as 60 per cent with pullets from pullets, pullet breeders not se- lected or culled, a promiscuous breed- ing flock, would not, in the majority of cases, agree with the practices of poultrymen in general. However, this test did not attempt to prove that there are not flocks throughout the country which have and will produce layers from pullet- bred pullets which layers in the first year will show a much lower mortality and will produce eggs in profitable quantities. Many poultrymen hold to the be: lief that pullets, in perfect health and full egg-lay are far more desirable as breeders than hens that are run down from heavy yields and, therefore, more susceptible to disease. On the other hand some poultrymen believe that hens that have successfully passed a year of heavy yielding are more desirable for reproduction purposes. Breeding pens will soon be arranged for spring reproduction purposes and Depreciation, Labor and Mortality, Cost of Eggs The three big items in the cost of producing the $12,000,000 worth or more of eggs that Illinois farmers sel’ every year are feed, depreciation, which includes mortality, and labor, according to records which twenty poultrymen kept during the past year in co-operation with the extension serv Ice of the College of Agriculture, Uni versity of Illinois. Any flock owner who cuts down on these items therefore will be going a long way toward getting a wider mar gin of net return out of the cash that he receives for his eggs, it Is pointed out by H. H. Alp, poultry specialist of the college. “Probably the opportunity to reduce feed cost is to improve the av- ion of each hen In the flock. as the good layers eat but little more feed than the mediocre lay extension hest erage egg produce ers. Too many flocks earry about 20 per cent defaulters—hens that start laying and then quit—and it is this class of birds which runs up the feed cost of a do .cn eggs Fresh Eggs Are Best Needless to say, eggs intended for hatching should be set as soon as pos- sible after they are laid. Not alone because the new-laid egg hatches ear- lier than the egg which kept a couple of weeks, but because the longer an egg is held the more evap oration takes which subtracts its vitality. Furthermore, in holding eggs there Is always the danger of unfavorable influences. For instance, if the eggs are stored in too low a temperature the chilling is likely to injure them. If they are stored where it 1s too warm, the development of the germ is apt to start and later die. A temperature of from 50 to 55 de- grees has been found to be the best. Eggs should not be held over two weeks. is place, Moisture in Henhouse Moisture in the henhouse is not in itself a bad thing, for it appears that poultry can be as comfortable in a damp as in a dry atmosphere, pro vided the temperature is uniform and comfortable for the birds. Neverthe less, no one likes a damp poultry house, because the temperature, under practical conditions, usually varies con siderably, and a low temperature with a damp atmosphere is a poor combina tion.—Wallaces' Farmer. Moist Mash Treat for Hens Hens appreciate an occasional treat in the form of mash and it {is probable that the judicious use of a moist crumbly mash once a day will moist result in a slightly higher egg yield than can be obtained by an entirely dry mash system of feeding. The best practice in the use of the moist mash seems to be to moisten the regular dry-mash mixture with water er milk, giving about what the hens will clean up In 20 minutes, Soaked or germin ated oats may be Included with this. Half-Pound Feed Per Egg A hen requires about one-half pound of feed to produce an egg, according to New York State coMege poultrymen. They found that hens of six breeds in an egg-laying contest produced an av- erage of 199.4 eggs and used 84.4 pounds of feed. The rations fed the hens consisted of corn meal, wheat middlings, bran, oats, alfalfa meal dried milk, meat scraps, and a small amount of cod liver oil and salt. When wet mash was fed it consisted of one part of water and fed on dry mash. rm eR Fewer Potatoes Eaten Potato growers are now feeding consumers who eat a bushel less each year than they did 20 years ago.

When the Columbia Bridge Was Burned (From page 1) Conewago farmers for a considera- tion to receive young cattle from the farmers around here in the spring and pasture them during the summer and in the fall our farmers would get them back again; but the cattle and horses at this time were accompanied by watchers. We had a flock of chickens, a horse a cow, and four hogs, (at that time almost every householder here kept hogs), and my father was consider- ing taking them away, but my moth- er said we would leave them where they were and if the rebels took them they would have to take them. She feared that if the rebels came and found no animals oh the prem- ises they might set the buildings on fire, I remember the day before the Columbia bridge burned down. I was in the yard of our home on the corner of Pinkerton Lane and Mar- ietta street, in the morning, and on account of some thing unusual in the scene called out to my mother, who was in the back part of the house, Oh! look at the flitting! as a large Conestoga covered wagon pass- ed by, filled with furnitureand bed- ding, and a young woman's face at one end of the wadon viewing the landscape; the vehicle surrounded by horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, being driven by men and boys Looking back of this cavalcade I saw anoth- er covered wagon, with the same accompaniments, and as far as the eye could reach the same state of things duplicated. This continued all day long. There were no houses then on the south side of Marietta strect from where we lived till you got to the corner of Marietta and Delta streets, and next to our place was a 20-acre field, along the Pink- erton Lane side of which, as evening approached, the York and Adams county refugees parked and prepar- ed their supper and attended to their live stock and spent the night there. The following morning which was Sunday, after breakfast, they took up their travels once more, and as on the previous day more “flitttings” continued to pass our house. Toward noon that morning some one report- ed that soldiers were going down Main street and in a short time we knew that the wagon train of Mil- roy’s army, our troops, was passing that way, having crossed the river at Harrisburg, keeping ahead of Lee's army. As they passed through our town women and girls, loaded with hot coffee, pies, cakes and edibles, besieged the teamsters and made things enjoyable for them. They continued eastward and finally reach ed the Susquehanna river at Peach Bottom, where they crossed the riv- er and doubled back to Gettysburg two days later. That same Sunday of Lee's advance troops reached Wrightsville and heavy smoke told us the covered frame bridge across the Susquehanna river was on fire and the Marietta turnpike was alive with vehicles of all kinds coming this way. Frank Allys, father of Len Allys, was constable here at that time and he was kept busy rid- ing from the edge of town, where New Haven and Marietta Sts. join, riding toward Marietta for news and back again with it. A large crowd was gathered at this point. The bridge was set on fire by Columbia people who wanted to keep the re- bels from crossing the river. I heard later that some of these confederates when the bridge set fire to Wrights- ville houses, helped to put the fires out. You can imagine that excite- ment was at the boiling point at this time, No one knew whether the re- bels would be able to cross the riv- er or not and many people on this side were preparing to trek north, same as the Adams and York county folks, but by Monday it was known that the confederates had returned toward York and from there toward Hanover ,and Gettysburg, where the battle finally centred. I remember well, I was in the garden with my mother, and we could plainly hear the guns and heavy artillery at Get- evening some tysburg, forty miles away as the crow flies. Whenever there was a particularly loud report my mother would call my special attention to it Then the next thing the battle was over and wagon trains were passing the house again in reverse order and many people from this place going over to the battle field to see what could be seen. Horses and cattle from the Conewago hills returned again and people finished their har- vesting work. A man from this place contracted some disease on the battlefield at Gettysburg and a short time afterward was dead.
