He has absorbed a number of valuable ideas about it while he has been acquiring his reputation as an expert on Long Island agriculture. While he has been suggesting ways for utilizing what are commonly called waste lands on Long Island, he has not over looked the opportunities which these lands offer the poultry raiser.

The Christmas exercises of the Public School were held in the School Building last Friday evening. The building was prettily decorated for the occasion and the rooms were well filled with parents and friends of the schol ars. An excellent program was pre sented, after w.iicb the trustees, Alva R.

Commencing on December 6 with a dinner at the Garden City Hotel for the men of Nassau County, and this followed by several luncheons for the ladies, the campaign closed last even ing with all the workers fully en thusiastic as when the project was launched. » So confident are many of the workers of getting larger amounts that they have decided to continue the cam paign, aa independents, until $100,000 is raised, which is the original amount planned.

Holland died about mid night Tuesday after being ill about two weeks, from valvular trouble of the heart. He was 69 years of age. Mr. Holland was born in New York City and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. 0|a Holland. He received his early education at that place. About 44 years ago he was married and moved to Freeport a short time later.

Charles was in the family plot in Lutheran Cemetery, Brooklyn. Mr. Offerman became known to most of us through tbe assistance he frequently gave hie son Charles, the local livery and depot man, and he was always marked for hie bright and cheery disposition. We have missed him about for the last runs. The so-called barrens (the pine t central part of Long Island, for exam ple) afford the ideal territory for food- bird raising. The undergrowth is very thick and furnishes shade throughout the warm season and an abundance of food, particularly that which is pratic- ally always short, even in the best reg ulated poultry plants—fresh animal year as he has been more or less con- matter, generally supplied to cooped-up fined to the house. birds by beef scrap, which even in its Mp. and Mrs. W.
