| Birds intended for pen fattening

| A box stall, an old shed, or a small
pen with temporary coop may be util-

may be used to advantage.
{ The birds may be kept in flocks of

' It was not so long ago that the ex-
, perts were declaring that the coal
! supply would soon run out, but geolo-
gists who know something more per-
haps than the Government experts as-
sure us that our coal will last for sev-
eral hundred years. So it is with the
oil fields.
“There is enough oil in the West
alone to last for 100 to 200 years,
based on the present rate of consump-
tion. In the Salt Creck fields of Wy-
oming there are more than a dozen
fields that have not yet been touched.
The whole State of Wyoming is ap-
parently one vast reservoir of oil, and
the surface there has not been
scratched. Kansas promises to be-
come the leading oil State in another
vear. Even in Eastern Colorado there
are prospects with the oil fields.
“The Pennsylvania fields alone will
last 50 years more at the lowest esti-
mate. In Oklahoma, which is the
leading oil State, in the Cushing
fields, which produced 300 barrels a
day less than two years ago, there are
still great numbers of undeveloped
wells, and the Cushing field is not in
it with the Augusta field of Kansas.
Montana, California and Mexico
are great oil districts. There are
thousands of acres of oil lands in Cal-
ifornia that have not heen surveyed.
In Mexico are the richest oil fields in
the world, with the possible excep-
tion of the Baku in Russia.
