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."

Eggs hatch better if
the hens are in perfect

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.'
"Oh. citizens of Christian America,
you who hold up your hands in horror
at the atrocious massacres perpetrated
from time to time by the bloody
Turks, look at your own hands! See
how they drip with the blood of your

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?

Students Suspended For
Allowing Tango Dancing
Special to The Telegraph
Gettysburg, Pa., Feb. 7.—Failing to
comply with an order of the college
authorities relative to the dancing of
the tango, six students of Gettysburg
College have been suspended for a
period of two weeks.
At the beginning of the scholastic
year an order was issued to all the
fraternities forbidding the dancing of
the tango and all dances of a similar
nature At the dance held on January
14, the committee, one member from
each of the six fraternities lmvine:
the dance in charge, failed to adhere
strictly to the rul6 of two stops and
waltzes and one or two of the newer
dances were permitted.
The young men composing the com
mittee were susDended.
