as rearing true if egxs are not bred into a hen thoy cannot be fed out but no mat ter how wellbred a folrd is if it is not well reared it is not likely to be profitable and profit la the goal of most poultry men on the other hand unless housing and feeding after ma turity have been very adverse to the bird the fault can be corrected and tho flock brought into a state of profit ableness beginnera auck la more or less a superstition but applied to chicken rearing it is almost a truism for if the man ox woman starting in with chickens on new land has ordinary poultry sense he is almost sure to raise good husky birds whereas the most experienced poultryman who tries to raise his chickens on old and contaminated soil la sure to have high mortality during the growing period and later on as well to get tho beet results chickens should be reared on soil that has had no poultry or poultry manure on it for at least a year and during tho rest period the land should if possible be cropped the most serlousbut by no means the only result of using tho same land year after year for bring ing up the youngsters is worm in fest ion and this is a conditions that is responsible for a big loss to many poultry men the most common types of worms found in fowls are round caecal and tapes theso all harbor in the intes tines passing out their eggs with tho droppings in caso of the first two if these eggs are picked up by the chickens or other hens they will de velop in their new host with very serious results particularly in the young stock ir they are in any quan tity tape worms havo a different life history and are more difficult to control as tho eggs must be eaten by zui intermediate host such as snails slugs etc in which they partly -de- yelop completing their development in tho intestine of the fowl of ter it has picked up tbla intermediate host onco a fowl has become infested with intentional worms it is a difficult matter to rid it of them and the best remedy prevention which is to raise your chickens on new land h m greenwood poultry inspector for bc what netcs to be planted early the seed of certain kinds of vege tables should be sown in tho spring for best results hence one should be prepared to begin operations in the etarden as- soon as tho soil is dry enough ttaveao plants of which tho leaves arc eaten which should be started early are lettuce spinach mustard ahd cress and there jo little danger of planting thorn too soon other vegetables which aro grown for their bulbs or roots may also bo planted at tho same time though they orb not quite as hardy as those grown tor their leaves these are onions carrots beets i parsnips ajid early turnips peas are about as hardy as these but may rpt if the weather turns cold and wet however it usuallypay s toplanlieaflatthosamo time as the others as early sown peas give a much better crop as a rule than if sown late other vegetables which should bo started early to get best results arc cabbages cauliflowers tomatoes and melons tho latter will not stand any frost hence the plants must be protected in hotbedaror cold frames or in tho house until danger of frost is over however cabbage and cauliflower if well hardened oft before sotting out will stand several degrees of frost tho earlier- that fruit and ornamen tal trees of all kinds aro planted after the ground in dry- enough to dig in the spring- the more successful will be tho planting the same applies to bush fruits strawberries and other herbaceous pcrennlals once tho soil loses the moisture of early spring and tho hot dry winds come a much larg er proportion of plants is likely to die than iffplanted earlier hence our advice based on experience is to start planting just as soon as possible uftor tho ground is thawed out w t

doz en people living in acton or else where now who can remember ac tons first public effort at fire protec tion 1vo always been rather glad and a trifle proud of the fact that wo havo been favored from the beginning of our exlstcnco as a community with a class of people who were interested in the- public good i think tho first thing thoy thought about was tho need for a school and nearly an hundrei years ago tho first school was built and a teacher secured so that the children of tho new settlers here abouts had privileges us soon us tliey were of school age then there was the desire prompt ly fulfilled for public worship and church services tho very first set tlors were godly pebpietthoyiiem publlo services around in the homes first then they worshipped in that earlybuilt school house then a little over eighty years ago the settlers had become sufficiently numerous- that they became imbued with the thought of erecting churches in 1845 the methodists built a neat framo church painted white on church streot and tho next year tho presbyterians built their white frame church onmaln street well i got to wandering from the old toivn pump and tho flrht fire en gine didnt i hcems generally to bo my experience that when i begin to write about these wayback local evonts that so many things crowd into my mind respecting oldtime doings that they bubble out nil over now about this first fire engine what do you think it was that set mo back to that well ill toll you tho moment i heard hat new siren fire alarm with its mocking bird tones which tho council has just installed on the tannery boilers tho thought sprang into my old head wimtjvfii cry from actons first homoiqfide engine to our present splendid water works system with its powerful aux iliary pumps and tho new motor li- b can make tho gearing md wheels and tank and tom can make avpump we could u30 to fit u ilos making pumpu all tho time john waulacl3 thats so i am quite sure if wo glvo john speight and tom ebbuge tho job theyll make sonio kind of a contrivance that ve can uso to fight llreu with charles t- hill 1 think that idea is a real good one i saw a lire punm some tiling hkjo thut wotrkjlng over in now york state when we lived there and it did first rat work the only trouble is thut when tho firemen are pumping thcro aro too many people who want to stand aro seo the thing work and do nothing themselves john holt well men i think we are on thhe right truck i have often wondered since i built my woollen mill up there by tho creek what would happen if a flro broko out in one of the machines as sometimes happens when a stone or nail in t he- wool is struck when going through tho picker or carder you can count on mo to pay my share of tho cost of a flro engino which will pump water at a fire lachlan mcdonaiid i think w are all of tho one mind this intern ing about the heed of some other methods for fighting flro when p lived in scotland every little place had some kind of apparatus and an or ganized system of the people for over coming flres in systematic manner i think for a start the suggestion to employ john speight and thomas eb- bago to build us a flro pump of time kind is a good one i dont euoae at most it would cost a hundred dol lars and i think we cap soon pass around a subscription list and raise that sum p h coriugill im quite ready to help in this proposal i felt last night when mrs secords store and home were being burned down that any of tho rest of us might meet with similar misfortune any time and we had better make some effort toover- como fires when they occur edward nicklin this idea off a hand are engine is a good one ive thought over since our mill burned down that we need somfethlng of the kind for acton you can put down b and e nlcklln for their sharo of the cost mike speight now youre talk ing boys its time we were doing something in this direction ill tell you what ill do if youll give john and tom tho contract of building this now- pumping- engine ill undertake to do all the iron work it needs for my share sidney smith mr speights of fer is a very generous one i would like o do my sharo towardthls much- nocded improvement i was down at tho mill yesterday und discovered a ptlo of wellseasoned clear plnctwolvo inches wide and two inches thick which we had overlooked when ship ping there isnt a knot in it and being cut last season it is in fine con dition for working i will donato all of this pine needed for tho tank for tho proposed flro engine ransom adamstheae aro good offers wo are getting ill agree to havo my team go down to the big miu and haul up mr smiths lumber to john speights shop william bell well say boys this all sounds good to me ill buy the paint needed to paint up this en gine inside and out and when the newfangled machine id all finished and rea f work though i hope it will be many a long day befdfs it is needed haul it up to bells tavern and ill christen it with tho best brand of old bourbon i have in my cellar well tho long and short of it was that john speight went to work at once on tho now fire engine he built a light wagon good and strong con structed a tank for it which would hold olght or ten barrels of water and then tom ebbagos speciallycon structed pump was mounted oh it wlthhandles something -like- tho sec tion mens railway jigger has so that two to four men could pump from each side about twentyfive or thirty feet of hoso was attached to the nozzle of tho pump tho outfit was pnintcd and out with bill bells paint and it vyas runout for a test and fiiettrip to bells tavern where lasbya now is the test went first rate and was qulto satisfactory to all concerned arid then tho boys hauled tho machine up tt bells for tho promised christening it js only fair to john spelghfu memory to say however that ho was not with the crowd which went up to bells john had started fighting tho liquor hml- ness long beforo this and ho was faithful and consistent up to tho day of his death thlrtyflvo years ago this summer this fire engine was used for a num- ber of years fortunately therewcre few flrest in thoso days tho homo- mud o engine was rather hard to pump to throw an effective stream and the volunteer pumpers didnt like the job tho last i saw of this old engine was ono day about fifty years ago it was down by the side of speights shop it was not in good working order tl en and- had not beon in commission for several years when this home made fire onglno was built a bell was erected on the top of spolghts shop which vfyg always
