THE POULTRY QUESTION.
Why Chicken Raising Pays and How
to Make It Pay.
A. little talk, ahout the poultry busi
ness :
Some men and women seem to pos
sess an inborn love tor domesticated
animals. Some farmers delight to have
about them not only the ordinary live
stock of the farm, but also pets of vari
ous kinds. Sucli men are usually kind
hearted, good natured and of generous
disposition,
Some men take great pleasure 'in the
ownership and'control of one or more
pets, such as cats, dogs, Canary birds,'
rabbits, chickens and pigeons. A man
having a genuine fondness for dumb
creatures will, if he makes an earnest
study of their characteristics and habits,
usually grow up to become a good live
stock breeder.
Poultry culture is peculiar in that it
attacks people of almost all callings and
conditions of life. Men and women,
boys and girls, wealthy and poor, robust
and weak; from professional, manufac
turing, commercial and agricultural life;
in city, village and country, in large and
increasing numbers are drawn toward
the beautiful and useful domestic fowls.
Even when the money-making capacity
is the chief attraction, poultry keeping
is the chosen calling of many people
Some of the reasons for the evident in
crease ef poultry keeping as an occupa
tion are the following :
First Only a small amount of capital
is necessary, if the poultry keeper is sat
isfied to begin with a few fowls, and so
develope the business gradually.
Second. The investment of funds, if
properly made, yields promptly a reas
onable return.
Third. For starting in the business a
small area of land is sufficient, and a
location may be selected where the land
is not high in -price.
Fourth. Dressed fowls and eggs are
favorite foods of the people, and such
are in constant, demand at satisfactory
prices.
Fifth. The demand for poultry pro
ducts is increasing, because of the
advancing prices of meats of all kinds,
and the gradual diminishing of the sup
plies of wild fowls and other game
Furthermore, new and special uses for
poultry products, especially eggs, are
arising and extending.
Sixth. The products of poultry keep
ing are concentrated and valuable,
though perishable. They can stand con
siderable expense for prompt transport
ation in fresh tondition to desirable cus
tomers. They are salable for cash
There, is little if any waste.
Seventh. The fowls utilize much of
the waste of the household and farm,
and turn them quickly into products of
value.
Eighth, Poultry properly man aged
enrich and benefit the farm, garden
and orchard.
Ninth. Poultry keeping may be ad
vahtageously combined' with, or added
to other occupations
Tenth. The industry's a healthy one
ana yieias to intelligent, iBterestea
earnest labor a sultablolfeturn of profit
and pleasnre,;.. ' , . ,

& party comprising" Hon. Leopold
Fuerth, Representative of Wayne coun
ty in the Legislature, and TJon. Miles
C. Rowland, of Pike Op., State Senator
from the 14th district, accompanied by
representatives of tho three Honesdale
papers, visited Farvlew on Wednesday
afternoon last, and were courteously
given an opportunity to inspect the
grounds acquired by .the State as
as tho site for tho new Hospital for
tho Criminal Insane, and shown what
progress was being made in the work
estimated to cost the Commonwealth in
the end $1,000,090.
The party were received at tho Farvlew
depot, on the summit of the Moosic, by
Dr. T, C. Fitzsimmons, of Carbondale,
through whose liberality and influence
the six hundred and forty acres com
prising the grounds of the institution
were practically donated to the State,
and the group at once started for the
scene of active operations. Contrary to
an impression which largely prevails, tho
hospital buildings are not located on or
in the immediate vicinity of the picnic
grounds so long a popular place of sum
mer resort for people in the Lackawax-
en and Lackawanna Valleys. The State
grounds, it is true, extend to the sito of
whatis known as "tho first observatory,"
but ttie main benefit to be derived from
their extension in that direction is the
control of the abundant supply of. pure
water which is there obtainable, and the
pleasure which its many rural and for
est attractions may afford visitors to the
great State institution.
To reach the real hospital site one
starts from the Farview depot in an ex
actly opposite direction from the one he
would take if intending to visit the old
Farview summer resort. Following the
track back Honesdaleward for a few
minutes walk, the old Gravity road bed
and the ancient Milford and Owego turn
pike, a portion of which it was found
obligatory to vacate, are passed, and one
comes on the left hand side of the track
to a long, one story building, erected by
the contractors, George A. Glenn & Co.,
of Philadelphia, for the storage of ma
terial and supplies. A switch has been
run down from the main track along the
front of this shed, and many car loads
of building requisites, including 1000
bags of cement are already stored. This
cement is the same as is now being used
in the construction of dams and locks
on the Panama Canal, and is the pro
duct of the Lawrence Cement Mills lo
cated near Allentown, this State. It is
understood, however, that the shipment
here is in a large measure experimental,
as us use cannot, oe determined upon
until after required expert tests have
been made. At this point also is now
being unloaded the carloads of bitumen
bus coal which is used in steam-making
for the excavating machinery.
From this point coming on down the
mountain nearly in the direction of Way-
mart, when within about a mile from
that village, the scene of real building
operations is reached. It is located on
what is known as the Alexander McMil
lan farm, and the buildings will stand,
the main front facing east, almost look
ing at Honesdale, just on the opposite
side of the old Milford and Owego turn
pike from the McMillan homestead, and
overlooking one of the most beautiful
views Wayne county can present ; even
the distant Catskill range being plainly
visible. It may be remarked in passing
that this house was built by Captain
George Rix, after whom Rix's Gap in
the Moosic was named, in 1816. He came
from New London, Conn., in the sum
mer of 1780, and bought a large tract of
land on the east side of the mountain.
about a mile west of Canaan Corners,
where he made a small clearing and
built a log cabin. Twenty-one years
later he walked back to New London.
married Miss Benjamin, and brought
her to his new home on horseback. Five
children were the result of the union,
and one of the daughters, Roxie, mar
ried Alexander McMillan, a rugged
Scotchman, who lived on a portion of
the homestead until his death, oc
cupying the house which now belongs
to the State. If George Rix could wake
from a Rip Van Winkle sleep of nearly
a century, and find the stately group of
buildings which the Commonwealth is
constructing occupying a portion of his
wilderness tract on the eastern slope of
the Moosic, his surprise can scarcely be
imagined.
Arrived at the site of the hospital the
party were were introduced to J. M.
Shirk, the architect, and William C.
Work, the contractors' manager, both
very affable and courteous gentlemen, of
Philadelphia, as well as Philonzo Fos
ter, of Carbondale, who is employed in
the office, and did much toward mak
ing the brief visit of the visitors agree
able. Under the chaperonage of these
gentlemen, different portions of the
grounds where work was progressing
were visited, and an opportunity afford
ed for Judging what advance has been
made since the first blow was strack
October 31st, 1008.' The chief point of
interest was naturally the operations of
tha huge steam shovel, which nosing
down fifty feet from the. surface, wan
scqoping'up ton mouthful of a clayey
red shale, frewi tho breast of aslope,
and loading wago&s with mamlese
regularity at intervals ef very lew tala
BtM. The eartta takes freaa Hut
vaUob which has reached the deepest
cellar level, is unloaded at points on the
hill-side slopo, with tho design of bring
ing the entire plateau on which the
buildings will stand to a uniform height
of 1800 feet abovo sea level. Besides
the immense shovel, the stone crusher,
and wagons, carts and tools galore on
the grounds, several carloads of similar
working requisites are on the way.
Thirty men and twelve teams are at
work at present, all but two of the men
and all of the teams employed being
residents and property of Way mart and
vicinity.
Architect Shirk exhibited to the party
an artistic colored picture of tho hos
pital buildings and grounds as they will
appear when completed, and explained,
through tho agency of blue print work
ing drawings, not only the entire inter
nal general scheme of the institution
but in detail the means by which every
room would be supplied with heat and
water and ventilation. Suffice it to say
that having met with the approval of
the experts designated by the State to
examine and pass upon them they are
certainly beyond criticism here.
The Commonwealth has undertaken a
great and meritorious accomplishment,
one that cannot fail to meet with the
approval of every humane and generous
minded citizen in Pennsylvania. And
having put its hand to the plough it
should never lay itself open to the stig
ma of turning back, until the task is ac
complished. The Legislature should
see to it that the necessary funds for
pushing the work continuously, and to
the earliest reasonable completion, are
appropriated from time to time, and the
Governor will do himself honor to stamp
all such grants with his seal of approval

CHRISTOFH KILLER.
The spirit of Christoph Hiller passed
away with the passing of the old year.
Mr. Hiller, who was 82 years of age,
had been in poor health for several years,
waiting patiently and hopefully for the
end; looking forward to meeting his
Saviour and loved ones gone before, when
the "weary watch" would be over.
He was born in Wurtemburg, Ger
many, July I6th, 1820. When about 25
years of age he came to this country and
in October, 1851, was married to Wal
burga Schweizer, and settled at Beach
Lake, where the rest of his life was
spent. He was a kind husband and
father, a man of industrious habits ; not
afraid of hard work. His life was full
of kind deeds, and was of great service ;
especially to those of his neighbors and
friends who were also his countrymen ;
to whom he became counselor, spiritual
adviser, and friend indeed; going at any
hour of the' day or night to minister to
their wants. He was often called to the
sick and dying, caring for the sufferer
as long as life lasted and doing all that
a brothercould do ; in some cases preach.
ing the funeral sermon and conducting
the last rites at the grave.
He was never too busy or too tired to
go cheerfully at any call, refusing all
remuneration ; his only .reward to know
he served his fellow men. He also ac
quired considerable knowledge of the
diseases of domestic animals, and his
services were much in demand in this
line.
He was a member of theM. E. church
for about forty years and served as class
leader and local preacher ; being often
calledupon to expound the Word of God
at Beach Lake and nearby meeting
places. His faithfulness, unselfishness
and cheerful willingness to minister to
those in distress, together with his child
like faith in Christ, made the text chos
en by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Tuthill, very
appropriate: "I have fought a good
fight, I have kept the faith, henceforth
there is laid up for mo a crown of right
eousness which the Lord, the righteous
Judge shall give in that day."
He is survived by one son, Jacob A.
Hiller, of Honesdale ; two daughters,
Mrs. T. S. Olver, of Scranton, and
Lizzie M., of Beach Lake. One son,
Christoph, Jr., died seven years ago,
and one son and two daughters in infancy.
We laid him to rest in the cemetery
at Beach Lake by the side of his wife,
there to await the resurrection of the
just.
"Dead .Yet Speaking."
Past Sorrow now, dear friend,
Sweetly asleep ;
Thou hast.reached the blest end
We wait and weep.
What is Thy word to-day
Far from the skies?
Does it not from the clay
Bid us arise?
Follow, as Thou hast done,
The blessed Lord ;
Comfort each sorrowing one
From His own Word?
To the sad prisoner
Whisper release I
To storm-tossed mariner
Tidings of peace?
Where Pain hath sent its dart,
Lay .cooling palm
On the lone mourner's heart
Pour healing balm?
From our own cup of woe,
Wormwood and gall,
When grief shall bring us low,
Let no drop fall?
Yes, we will lift our eyes
Though the tears flow,
E'en while we strive to rise
We miss thee so 1
