THE OLD- FASHIONED WINTER.
ilow dear to my heart is the old lash
ioncd winter
The kind that We thought had clean
melted away.
it brings back the days of sleds and
the snowballs.
Before our December got mixed up
with May.
The street full of coasting, the park
full of'skating.
The air full of jingllng and musical
noise——«
'Tis an old-fashioned winter, a lII-alth-
giving winter
A brisk, bracing winter like when we
were boys.
The breezes are brisk in the unheated
trolley
Where good zero weather is freezing
our loss.
The children are sliding with glee on
the sidewalk.
And elderly citizens slide on their
nose-
The water pipes bursting the coal bill
ascending.
The gas meter freezing, to add to
our joys.
'Tls' an old-fashioned winter. a health-
giving winter.
A brisk. bracing winter. like when
we were hon.
The beautiful snow Ilse_s black by the.
roadside. ’
With old-fashioned fever germs fill-

C. C Maxficld. of 100 White street.
Ilrlof clerk in the office of Tax Commis-
sioner Andrew 1". Gates, believes that
there Is luck In the number tirirloen.‘
and the performances of his flock of
IlIirtoI-n Buff Wyandotto hens seems to
warrant his belief. From March i. 1903.
to February 29. i904. these remarkable
birds have perfmmod the feat of lay
lng 2.529 eggs an average of 193. 76
eggs oach Thole is no doubt about the
authenticity of the record for Mr. Max-
tield has himself kept the count and he
is noted for his accuracy in such mal-
ters. The record of this oggviaying foul
by months is as follows:
l903~March 173; April. 239: May.
227: June, 206: July, 274: Augi- ". 264;
September. 221: October. :54: - ~<~ n-
ber. 214; December. 224.
Will—January 151: February. 182.
For a long period it has been the am-
bition of the poultry fancier to produce
the ‘ sou-egg-a-yealulleu" and Mr.
Maxfield seems to have solved the pro-
blom. for among his thirteen, with an
average of nearly 194 eggs for the past
year, there must be several hens which
laid ove: 200 eggs each. 80 confident
is M: Maxiield that this is so that he
has purchased several trap posts which
will definitely show which her: lays the
most. eggs.
Mr. Msxflcld’s hens were batched
in May. 1902, and they began laying
early in the winter following. As noted
above be bcgan to keep the record one
vcaru ago. His flock is kept in an ordi-
nary house. ball by him and construct-
cII of ucvsn-oigthI-lnch matched
boards. It is not even covered by lar-
rcd or roofing paper as an added pro-
tection against the weather. in Ill-

the gleatost confidence in the use of
meat scram to make hona lay. and he
has fed these liberally. Onco when fo:
lilo sake of experiment. ho stopped
feeding the meat scraps for a week.
. his record shows that the egg ploduc-
‘lion of the born: at once fell off. its
thinks that if he had not made this
experiment his flock would IlIVo aver-

Mr. Maxfleld whines to test this thoo

He says that in the breed of Jersey
cattle a great butts: maker begets a
great butter maker. and he holds that
the rule may be applied to hens that
the offspring of a great egg producer
will be great sgg- producers The chick
ens hatched this spring will receive the

begin to lily their records will be as
