"The newly inaugurated president
Of The Swiss Republic is Emil Frey
said Mr. Byers last night. He has
many friends in this country, where

came to America when a youth ard
was a soldier during the rebellion in
The same regiment with myself, and
was a prisoner in Libby Prison for
several months. After the war be
went to farming and later on was
consul general of his native country
over here and afterward its minister.
Then he returned to Switzerland,
was elected Senator from Basic and
his popularity increased tosuch all
extent that he was nominated and
elected to the presidency. 1t can be
easily conceived what an admirable
official he will make when We consi-
der his familiarity with the in

Now the expenses Can be reduced
materially by the party building his
houses aud fences himself and doing
the work so as to have but little ex-
pense. Or his houses may be already
built. Now We have made no allow
ance for feed being raised ON the
farm, thereby lessening the cost con-
siderably. The estimate for eggs per
hen and the price to be obtained are
low estimates. | believe that fresh
eggs sent to market regularly daily
or three times week, or even weekly,
can be sold readily the year round
for 25 cents per dozen, which would
add $500 to the cash receipts, and if
best breeds are kept and II dozen
eggs per hen are obtained instead of
10 dozen, it will add $500 more to
the net receipts. Let the chicks you
raise for future layers be the best.

One thousand hens kept just for
their eggs, with no males, and thirty
hens and two males for breeding pur-
poses would bring a nice Iltlle salary
TOR any one who would devote his
Tine ~ the business. A common ben
sill lay ten dozen eggs year; 1000
mems would give 10000 dozen eggs a
year. This is about one egg a day
for three hens. If eggs are handled
properly aud sold fresh to reputable
Northern houses, they can be sold
the wear round not to average less
than 20 cents per dozen clear; 335
eggs a day would be about % dozer
worth about 500 per day, or little
more than $4,000 per year. The 81
hens for breeding purposes would
give at same rate 5000 eggs per year
. Ii sci aud one chick is raised for ev
cry three eggs, it would give say
1900 chicks. Suppose these ar
