TERMS, $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Is??fcil every Friday morning by PI. B. WOOD. EOITORHa NI> PUBLISH KR ?ntert/l a' the Monterey postofflee as second-class matter flonterev, Va. Friday, Jan 3 19?3 The Recorder will this week en ter many homes for the first time, so many, in fact, that a sort of "salutatory" would not be out of place. In the absence of such for mality, however, we wish to ex tend greetings and welcome them to the Recorder family. We enter upon the new year hopefully. What it has in store for us, in a large measure, are the things we strive for. With a great ly increased circulation, a widened field, our responsibility is increased, and the friendly approval and co operation of our readers will great ly aid and strengthen our purpose to measure up to that responsiibili ty. We have previously referred to the fact that a newspaper is about what the people make of it. It is impossible for the country editor to get all the news items unless tht people help him. No matter where you may live, if you know or hear of anything of interest - such things as are usually published - call and tell us, or send it in by 'phone or letter. The Recorder is primarily a local newspaper, and will devotb its best efforts to the welfare and development of the home county To this end we a3k the help and encouragement of our readers. May the year 1913 be mutually profitable and prosperous! Read everything you see on the subject of the parcels post. It is something new, of real, personal interest to everybody, and the sooner you become familiar with its purposes, provisions and workings the better will be your position to appreciate and make use of it, and the more you will facilitate its in troduction as one of the big sys tems and proyisions of the gover nment. Tho Recorder has arranged to furnish considerable reading matter on the subject, and hoped to have it in todays issue, but the rush oi Christmas business delayed the plate. Meantime, bear just a few simple rules in mind until you lean, the system thoroughly: There is no 4th class matter now. All merchandise goes under the parcels post regulations, the rate to be determined by the distance. No matter if you want to send n ' flower bulb, a box of salve or a set of store teeth, you must use aspec v ia! stamp provided for the class. Your name must be written on corner of every such package you mail. You will do well to remember these few important features until you learn others. LABOR PLOTTERS SENT TO PRISON Indianapolis, lad.. Dee. 30. Seyen years at hard labor in the Federal penitientiary at Leaven worth, Kansas, was the heaviest penality imposed by Judge Albert B. Anderson today on the thirty eight noted labor leaders branded felons by a jury in the dynamite conspiracy case. This was the punishment meted out to Frank M. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers, and was one year more than was given to the other men who were considered Ryan's chief lieutenants in destroying the works of the American Bridge Co. throughout the country. Six men got off with suspensions of sentence while the penalties im posed on the others ranged from I one year and one days's imprison ment to the sentence imposed up on Ryan. Having purchased Clyde Hiner's interest in the Monterey MillingCo. it will be necessary to close all open accounts to date. E B Whitelaw. The Thrice-a-Week Edition of the New York World. The great political campaigns are now at hand, and you want the nws accurately and promptly. The World long since established a reo ord for impartiality, and anybody can afford its Thrice-a- Week edition, which comes every other day in the week, exeept Sunday. It will be of particular value to you now. The Thrice-a-Week World alao abounds in other strong features, serial stories, humor, markets, car toons; in fact, everything that s to be found in a first-class daily. The Thrice-a-Week World's regu lar subscription price is only $1.00 per year, and this pays for 156 pa pers. We offer this unequalled newspaper and the Highland Re corder together for one year for $1.70. ? .si* The regular subscription price of the two papers is $2.00 Send For One Commissioner G. W. Koiner of ! the Department of Agriculture is mailing out this week his Decern- ; ber Bulletin. Some splendid arti cles appear in this Bulletin. They deal with subjects that are close to the heart of farming. They are practical and discuss just the thing the farmer wants to know and are such as any farmer can adopt and | put into practice. In this publication the farmers are invited to furnish farm news anil report big crop yields. Thi3 information will help 60,000 other farmers and make Virginia one great Test Farm by telling the other farmer how they succeeded.) There is a strong article on in tensive Farming with the leading statement that there is no money or pleasure in any other system of farming. It pays our farmers the compliment of knowing how to farm, but states that they are up against the impossible by undertaking to cultivate too many acres. If this valuable art cleisread and put into practice, Virginia will advance in agriculture by leaps and bounds, As this is hog killing month, the farmers are given a good method of Curing Bacon. Manure losses on the farm are intelligently discussed and the loss U placed at 40 per cont on the av erage farm; a drain which no other business could stand. A short article on Deep Tillage strikes right at the root of fertility and preparation for farm crops. The farmer will also be interest ed in the all-important and live farm subject "How to Maintain Our Meadows" and pastures by winter treatment of fertiliaer and manure. Protecting our birds ia a duty every farmer, orchardist, and mark et eardner owes to himself and hi? neighbor as insects are on the in crease. In this Bulletin theyjung farmer comes in for the important consid ation. It is suggested that it is easy by the right kind of early training to wed the boy to the faru and easier than keeping a good farm liand. The article on Soil Improvement contains the cream of soil building, which is the foundation of all suc cessful agriculture. Every farmer in Virginia should send his name to Commissioner Koiner and get these Bulletins that he issues each month free of cost to the farmers. PREPARE FOWLS FOR WINTER Thoroughly Dipped In 8o!utlon of Warm Water and Grease Effectu ally Kills All Vermin. Save all the strong bacon grease, especially the grease from fried ba con. When your fowls sit around picking themselves and looking droopy and shabby, get a large, deep can or bucket; from its shape a large candy bucket is best; fill It nearly full of warm water; on this pour melt ed grease until it forms a thick scum over the water; catch your fowls, take them one by one by their wings, and with the head straight up, dip them down, pretty hard, two or three times into the water; let the head go com pletely under once; do this quickly to avoid strangling the fowl; then turn It loose. After waiting a few hours for the water to drip from the feathers, drive them into the shade, so the sun will not blister them. For a short time they will be a sorry looking lot of fowls. This treatment causes the feathers to fall apart* so the body of the fowl Is cool, the water softens the skin; the grease-laden feathers fall out eas ily, and the new ones push their way through the skin and grow in masses Instead of one or two in a place; the time of molting is shortened; the ratty grease kills all the vermin on the fowl, while grease-saturated feath ers are? -death traps to any vermin that may get on them. Keep the bucket filled with water and pour more grease on the water from time to time. The fowls should be dipped early In the morning, and made to roost ! under shelter for several nights. By dipping the fowls In the early fall they become healthy and free from pests, hence stand the winter better and in the spring have little or no vermin to annoy them and get on and kill their little ones. PLAN FOR A HEN HATCHERY Door Placed In Front of Each Neat, Hinged With Leather and Held by Wooden Cleats. Here is my plan for a tuccessful hen hatchery: I take 16-foot lumber and make stalls for 12 hens which makes the nest boxes a little over 14 A Hen Hatchery. /nches wide, writes J. A. Crandall of Norwich, Kan., in the Farmers' Mail and Breeze. Slats and thin lumber may be used for the li partitions. Floor the nest department. Chicken wire is used to cover the top of runs except for the doors A, each of which is 28 inches long, enough to cover two runs. The doors B are the same length. There is also a door 8 by 10 inches in the front of each nest box and all doors are hinged with leather and held with cleats. The roof board is not hinged or nailed but held in place with cleats and may be lifted off. OBITUARY j Wm. Rex rode was born Oct, 26, 1823, died Dec. 18, 1912, aged 89 years one month and 1 26 days. Lived, died I and was buried on the farm upon 'which he was born, in Pendleton, county, W. Va. He was married three times: His first wife was Miss Martha J. Hoov er, who died Sept. 10, 1864, leav ing four daughters, Sarah Eliza beLh , married Rev. Geo. M. Puffin-, barger, who died several yecrs ago, leaving a lar?e family. Hannah j C. married Harrison Pitsenberger. j ;*he is also dead and left a family. Mary J. married Jasper Moyers. He died years ago, leav ing her with 4 boys and one girl, all of whom still survive Valania married Jacob F. Mitchell. She is also dead and left a family. His second wife was Mrs. Stone, widow of the late Daniel Stone, Jr. who only lived a few years and died without issue.J His last wife was Miss Elizabeth H. Todd, who with six children, three girls a- d three boys, sur vive him; all grown and all living at the old homestead, except Nan cy R.j who married Harry Stone. All were present when the end came. Wm. Rexrode was a faithful, kind husband and father;, noted for his integrity, industry and faith fulness to his neighbor and any one in need of help? no one was ever turned hungry from his door. He leaves 26 living grand chil dren, while five have preceeded him to the better land. He also leaves four great grand children. In early life he was a member of the Luthern church, but for twen ty-five rears he has been a mem ber of the church of the Brethren. He was a constant reader of -the Bible and church paper, and when he could no longer see to read him self, he delighted to have others read for him. He was patient in his suffering, often expressed a willingness to depart and be at peace. Thus ended a long and use ful life that will will be much missed, not only by hii immediate family, but by many friends and neighbors. After an appropriate sermon by his pastor and life-long friend, Rev Josiah Beverage, and a few remark.^ by his physician, he was laid to rest in the family grave yard near his home, to await the glori ous resurection. . Friend -> WELCOMED AN OLD FRIEND John Burroughs Wrote of Pleasure) Experienced on Hearing the 8ky lark In Honolulu. One of my pleasant surprises in Honolulu ? one that gave the touch of nature which made me feel less a stranger there, was learning that the European skylark had been intro duced and was thriving on the grassy slopes back of the city. The mina, a species of starling from India as large as our robin and rather showily dressed, with a loud, strident voice, I had seen and heard everywhere both in town and country, but he waB a stranger and did not appeal to me. Yet the thought of the skylark; brought Shelley and Wordsworth, and English downs and meaddws, near to me at once, and I was eager to hear it. So early one morning we left Pleasanton, our tarrying place, and climbed the long, pastoral slope above the city, where cattle and horses were* grazing, and listened for this minstrel from the motherland. We had not long to wait. Sure enough, not far from Us there sprang from the turf Shelley's bird, and went climbing his invisible spiral toward the sky, pour ing out those hurried, ecstatio notes. Just as I had heard him above the' South Downs of England. It was a moment of keen delight to me. The bird soared and hovered, drifting about, as it were, before the impetu I ous current of his Bong, with all the Joy and abandon with which the poets have credited him. It was like a bit of English literature vocal in the air there above these alien scenes. Pres ently another went up, and then an other, the singers behaving in every respect as they do by the Avon and the Tweed, and for a moment I breathed the air that Wordsworth and Shelley breathed. ?

CourtB martial are not Infrequently held oil battleships In the Charles town navy yard. Sometimes a sailor will send for a Boston attorney to de fend him, although this tendency is discouraged by the officers. Most at torneys know they have no absolute right to practice In a naval court, and can do so only by permission of the i court, but occasionally a lawyer goes aboard who does not realize this fact. A sailor who was charged with gambling had retained an attorney to get him off. This attorney, who had never had such a case before, went briskly Into the officers' wardrobe, where the court was sitting, and without waiting on ceremony began to addresa the court in a blustering manner. "Just a minute," interrupted the presiding officer. "Who are you?" "I am Mr. Rudolph Smithers," the attorney replied, "and I am a member of the Massachusetts bar." "Oh, you are Mr. Smithers, are you?" continued the officer. "Then you are the man whom the orderly wants to see." He called the orderly. "What does the orderly want of me?" asked the attorney in a superior tone. "Nothing very much," replied the chief justice; "he merely ;wants to show you off the ship."
