The Poultry Industry.

The Centreville Nd. Record, of Deem
Der ~ says:-Few of our readers have an
idea of the amount of poultry annually raised
IN this county for market, unless they have
stoned to consider Mr. Joseph Fesmyer
has paid for poultry, chiefly turkeys, since
the first week of the present month $4,000,
which averaged at u cents per pound, pro
duces S240 per short ton. This estimate
makes his shipments little upwards of 80
tons. Mr.. Martin Dougherty deals amOst eX
clusively il poultry raised on Kent Island
and ships by steamer to Baltimore. For
three weeks previous 80 the present lie has
shipped 1900 geese and turkeys. Last Mon
day he shipped l02 geese and 500 turkeys.
He pays 10 cents per pound for turkeys and
II cents per pound for fat geese. Some of
the latter when very fat netting -. 30 a head
and none of them less than $500 head.
Mr.. Dougherty has shipped from the Island
this season 1900 geese and 1900 turkeys.
Average the geese at 81 each and the tur-
keys at Sl.50 each gives an expenditure of
81, $50, for turkeys and geese raised on Kent
Island and disposed of to Mr.. Dougherty,
who also buys chickens and dacks in large
quantities. He also deals in terrapins and
purchased two this week weighing 81 pounds
for which he paid Sill, or within fraction of
S1.30 per pound. This is dear food and can
be INDUCED IN only by those who have much
surplus cash. Mr.. Dougherty has paid the
residents of Kent Island this season for all
kinds of poultry about $4,000. Mr.. Isaac
Miller, another large dealer in poultry. who
buys at Bookers, Quaker Neck and Eastern
Neck Island wharves and at Queenstown.
The territory he works-is extensive and com
petition ia not wanting. He has purchased
this season commencing just previous to
Thanksgiving little upwards of Sc, 900 worth
of poultry, oil of which were shipped to Bal.
timore via the Chester River Line. Here are
three buyers only who have, for poultry
alone, put in circulation 81 900, which is es-
timated about one-third of the poultry crop
of the county. Besides the points above
mentioned where poultry has been extern
sively bought, large purchases are made at
/ Church Hill, Sudlersgille, Barclay, Queen
I Anne, Millington and crumpton, bringing
those engaged in poultry raising in ooniunc-
ton with farming the snug sum of about 500.

article on the White House at Washington,
whose walls are now about one hundred
years old, mentions that Maryland advanced

fact that both states have asked for re-

been before nearly every Congress for the

that he wants another chance for the

Serves Them Right.
From the Buaalo. News

Men who are swindled by the green goods
method deserve no sympathy and get little.
Anxious TO buy counterfeits and get suddenly
rich. they trust the men who are to supply
them with the green goods. In fact It is
rather enjoyable to hear Of man getting
swindled in that manner. 1t reveals his true

Political.

The official vote of California has been
finally declared BY the Secretary of State.
Thomas b. Baird. the highest candidate on
the Republican Electoral ticket, received
1902 votes and is elected. The other eight
Electors are Democrats, chosen by majorities
ranging from one TO over two hundred.
The scheme to steal the Legislature of
Wyoming has failed. through the decision of
the Supreme Court of the State. Though the
court consists of three Republican Judges.
they have ruled unanimously that the lawful
returns from Carbon county must be accepted
and that the Representatives elected cannot
be counted out by the Republican clerk.
This apparently puts an end to the Republi
can hopes of stealing the SeBatorship from
Wyoming, and insnres the election of a
Democrat.

The kicking horse can nearly always be
singled out by the vicious CLEAN in his
eye, which stamps him born kicker. OF
all horses, though, the miserable looking
horse attracts most attention. This is
the horse prosecuted by the check rein.
Like women and men who wear shoes n
size too small, he shows the outward evil
dcnce of misery. Many good natured
horses, horsemen say, have been made
fretful and vicious by being enslaved by
the infamous and cruel check rein. There
are horses broken down by long and con-
tinual service for man, which show sad
facial expression.
These may be found hitched to drays
around town, to rickety wagons of ped
dlers and ragpickers, and occasionally to
wagons of contractors and teamsters.
Once, perhaps, they were full of the buoy
ancy OF youth, but constant drudgery has
made them mere tools, barely animals.-

yt was the Other Fellows Baby, but He
Got All the congratulations.
The prosperous-lo looking business man
was plainly angry when he walked into
the Office and asked:
"Is there man named singlewood
here?n
The pale, solemn-looking young man
sitting at a desk in one corner of the room
looked up and replied:
My name is Singlewood."
"a. j. Singlewood?" asked the busi-
ness man, striding toward him.
"Alfred 8. Singlewood," returned the
young man.
"Your wife has baby" exclaimed the
business man.
"Why, yes, thank you-a boy" The
young man fairly beamed as he started to
get up from his chair.
"Ncver mind the SEX" returned the
business man, sharply. "Your wife has a
baby and you have a lot of blamed fool
friends"
swell, frankly" said the young man,
"the boys have rather overdone tha
thing in an endeavor to be funny.
They've sent me rattles and bottles and
all that sort OF thing"
"And they've sent you dispatches 'col-
lect'"
"Two or three" replied the young man;
pleasantly, "but after opening the first
one didn't accept any others. ] couldn't
afford to, you know. told the telegraph
boys they must be for some other A. j.
Singlewood."
"Of coursel" exclaimed the business
man excitedly. "And there's only one
other A. j. Singlewood in the directory"
81 know it," returned the young man.
He's contractor over in the Skyscraper
building. That's what l told the tele-
graph and messenger boys"
"You told 'em! That's what you"
The business man almost burst q blood
vessel, but finally calmed himself by a
great effort, and went on: Young man,
that contractor does a large amount of
business by telegraph, and he can't afford
to refuse any dispatches. The ones that
were not referred to him by you, young
man, were delivered to him in the first
place, and he has paid out s4.25 for such
rot as this:"
He displayed despatch which read
"Trust the father Is doing we'll"
Then warming up to his subject again,
he said:
That contractor, young man, Is a re-

it rolls him to pay half a dollar for some
blamed fool advice on how to bring up a
child. Suggestions that he call him
Josephus tend to ruin his standing in the
community, and the hope, expressed by
telegraph, that he may have many happy
returns of the day makes the men In the
office onicker and lessons his dignity.
"Young man, you'll pay me, A. j. Sim

patches, take back the rubber dolls that
have received, and admit in writing that
the baby is yours, or I'll go to law about
it. Understand I'll sue you for the

man, apologetically, 81 want to do what's
