2 Poultry News FARMER SAYS HENS BRING BIG PROFITS New York State Man Declares There Is More Money in Hennery Than Dairy On farms of nearby counties the dairy is the big money making de partment. Hardly one farmer in a hundred would seriously consider chickens as offering t'he same possi bilities for profit that the dairy does, but O. W. Mapes, a New York State farmer, who is the proprietor of both a dairy and hennery, enthusiastically upholds the latter as the more profit able and otherwise desirable. Here are his own statements with reference to the cows and hens on his farm: "I keep 10 to 12 cows and 8 to 10 units of hens, raising my own young slock and buying all grain feed in both cases. X started tho year with 1,800 hens. From the cows 1 have sold during the year less than $2,000 worth of milk, beef and veal; to be exact, $1,807.29. From the hens 1 have sold during the same period $4,500 worth of market eggs and poultry, besides increasing my stock by SOO birds, easily worth SSOO more, making $5,000 in all from the hens. The feed bills were less than half of the total sales in both cases, but the cows have also con sumed a barnful of hay. "Thd cows made lar more work than the hens. 1 hire one steady man. He milks and cares for the cows. 1 care for the hens. Tho hens milk themselves. His day's work begins at 5 a. m.. Mine often begins at 7.30. The net returns from the hens arc greater than the gross sales from the cows. This in effect is equivalent to relieving the milk producer from the payment of all feed bills, besdes giving him his hay crop to sell for cash, and no more labor involved. Put it an other way. It is In effect equivalent to a new breed of cows, not only giv ing twice as much milk as present breeds, but also giving it in sealed bottles all ready to be gathered up once a day." Dr. Fritchey's Reds Are Second in Contest Perhaps it was to be expected that something would happen in the thir teenth week of the International Egg Laying Contest at Storrs, Conn. For tunately, however, the thirteenth de veloped no ill omens; on the other hand, the signs of the week were ex ceedingly encouraging. The week yielded 987 eggs as against 739 in the previous week, or a gain of 248 eggs. During the week sixty birds that had not been previously laying became "producers" instead of "consumers" only. Within the past two weeks nearly 100 new individuals have start ed up the business of earning their keep. The heavy breeds nosed the Leghorns out of the first six places in the twelfth week, but not so in the thirteneth. The Wyandottes took first place for the week with a yield of 33 eggs, two pens giving the same production. White Leghorns were second with 28 eggs to their credit and three pens tied for third place with 27 eggs each; one pen of Khode Lsland Reds from Dearborn & Sharpe, Blairtown, N. J., one pen of Reds from Dr. J. A. Fritchey, Harrisburg, Pa., and a pen of English Wyandottes owned by Tom Barron. Tho best production for any one day during the week was 175 eggs. The prize winners for the month of January are announced as follows: The blue ribbon, or first, goes to Tom Barron, of Catforth, England, whose pen of White Wyandottes yield ed 161 eggs for the month of January. The second prize ribbon lists been awarded to Dr. J. A. Fritchey, Har risburg, whose Rhode Island Reds pro duced 131 eggs during the month. HAS VERY ABLE FLOCK George Fernsler, a York county farmer, has furnished the Telegraph with the egg report of his flock for tho month of January. It shows that 77 layers produced DOG eggs within the month. Mr. Fernsler seems to have un earthed some deceit within the flock, for his report concludes: "This is the product of 77 hens. Seventeen of these hens are no good, as thev laid only 90 eggs during the month of January." Bigger Hatches Eggs hatch better if the hens are in perfect condition. pratts.

LICHTENBERGER WEST FAIItVIEW, PA. SATURDAY EVENING, CHARITY REDUCED RATES ARE WANTED Pittsburgh Man Opens New Line of Questioning Before Public Service Board LOCAL MAN ANSWERED Pennsylvania Railroad Denies In justice in Coal Rates to Lan caster City The question whether the public service company law of 1913 will pre vent a railroad from giving half rates to a charitable enterprice has been placed before the Public Service Com mission by Charles C. Cooper, direc tor of the Kingsley Association which conducts a settlement house in Pitts burgh and a fresh air farm at Valen cia. He asks whether railroads may continue to give half rates on freight for carload lots of freight for the es tablishments. The association is sup ported by contributions and the con cession has been very helpful to it. Another interesting case is that brought by Elmer C, Jones, of Norris town, who contends that the car steps on the line of the Philadelphia and Western railroad are too high. Anna M. Eaklns, of Philadelphia, who brought to the attention of the commission the charge that the Har risburg and South Mountain railroad failed to operate trains, was informed in a ruling by the commisison that the matter is one for the courts as there is a question of a contract. Railroad companies have been in formed by the commission that where bubbling drinking fountains have been installed it will not be necessary to provide drinking cups either on cars or at stations. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany has denied that the rate charged for hauling coal from the Clearfield region to Lancaster is unjust. The Philadelphia and Reading and Bal timore and Ohio companies have asked leave to intervene as part de fendants, contending that if the rate is changed there will be interference with their rates for many points in the State. M. S. Kelley, of this city, who al leged that the City Tfansfer Com pany has a charge of 50c which he considers excessive, for transferring a trunk from the Pennsylvania station to his residence, 2124 North Third street, has been informed by the com mission that the charge is not ex orbitant, considering the character of the work performed—the rate being in conformity with the published schedule. The complaint of the Somerset Telephone Company against the Econ omy Telephone Company, alleging discriminatory rates, was dismissed. The commission finds that the pub lished rates are not excessive and that free telephone service to rail road stations is a general benefit to all subscribers—therefore no dis crimination exists. Authority was granted the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company to make ef fective, on one day's posting, the switching rate of $5.00 per car for the interchange of traffic between the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia and Reading, for the purpose of trans porting patients from the State insane hospital, Harrisburg, to Schuylkill Haven. Lewis N. McCarter, of Norristown, complained to the commission that the Norristown Insurance and Wa ter Company charged him $2.00 each, water rate, for two automobiles. He claimed that he had no water con nection with the garage in which they were stored, nor did he use any water on the property for the cars. He has been advised by the commission that if he uses water supplied by the re spondent he should pay the rate pub lished for that service, but that if he is not provided with this water service, the company has no right to claim payment for the same. A. M. Weltman's Sons, Lebanon, corrtplain that the Edison Electric Il luminating Company has increased the rates for service to their estab lishment from SI.OO a month to $6.30 and James Thompson and M. A. Hanna & Co., of Erie, object to the rates assessed by the Erie County Electric Company. SUICIDE ON HEADS OF MID BREWERS [Continued from First Paffe.] have done this deed. Tins is proved by the fact that when fully sobered, after the fatal shot was fired, he re gretted his act, repented of it, and, we trust, found forgiveness in God's sight. At any rate, these heart-broken friends have the comfort of knowing that he died fully trusting in the mercy of God, in Christ Jesus. The question I raise to-day is this: Who is responsible for Allen Cupples' death? NOT HE ALONE; THAT IS CERTAIN. In his right mind he never would have taker; his own life. He was under the influence of a powerful narcotic a deadly poison which when introduced into the system robs a man of his reason and renders him, for the time being, insane. Being a free moral agent, he is responsible for taking the poison, I grant you that. But hear me: the rum seller who sold him the drink over the bar is respon sible also for lits death. The State, which licensed the ruin seller to sell him drink, receiving a 'rake-off' in the shape of revenue, is responsible also for his death. The city, or town, or municipality which permitted the State to set up an institution in its nddst to sell the poison to him, re ceiving a 'rake-olT' In the sha|>e of a license fee, is responsible also for Ids death. The people who constitute the State, who make the laws which give men the right to sell liquid damnation to their fellows, are responsible also for his death. "Here is the simple truth in a nut shell: The poison which rendered Allen Cupples capable of this deed was furnished him at the hands of a rum seller, by authority and connivance of the city. State and national govern ments, which received a share of the profits accruing from the sale of the poison. "Over this man's grave and the graves of a hundred thousand others who die every year from the effects of this accursed, legalized liquor traffic I should like to erect a monument with this Inscription upon it: 'Murdered —by the State.'

[ own fellow-citizens murdered each year by laws enacted and upon your statute books. The Link of Guilt "To my mind, this whole iniquitous business presents itself, so far as re sponsibility goes, as an unbroken chain of Ave links, as follows: "First Link —The poor drunk ard. robbed of his manhood, his self-respect, his love of wife and children, qnd his will power, is the first link in the chain. "Second Link The brewers, distillers and rum sellers of this nation —a great army of human scavengers who subsist upon blood money with as damnable a smirk upon it as that which Judas Iscariot received for betraying his Lord, form the second link in the chain. 'Third Link—The judges who grant the licenses to these traffickers in rum, among whom these is a vast difference of opinion as to whether it is man datory that they grant licenses under the present laws or whether it is their prerogative to refuse all licenses, constitute the third link in the chain. "Fourth Link—The lawmakers, many of whom are elected by the money of these traffickers in human lives and immortal souls, and who, consequently, do tho bidding of the rum power, re gardless of the wishes of their constituents, are the fourth link in the chain. . a. F !? h , L, ", k —The people—the individual citizens, many of whom arc professing Christians, the ma jority of them members of the Church of Christ, who pray . straight on Sunday and vote crooked on election day—who elect these lawmakers to enact laws which give these judges the right to grant licenses to these rum sellers to sell intoxicating liquors to their fellow-men, con stitute the fifth link in the chain. "So you see it is an unbroken chain which reaches from the drunkard, rendered capable of beating his wife] or abusing his children, or committing murder, or taking his own life, to the saint who sits In his pew or even the preacher in the sacred desk. Now the Bible states plainly that drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God (I Cor. 6-1). Impenitent drunkards of course. But the question. I would propound to all logical minds is this: How can one end of that chain be in heaven and the other end be in hell?
