On general principles the smaller the
flock the greater the per cent. Of eggs,
but of course there is a limit. Very
much depends on the care given and
the amount of work required Of the
hens. a pen II by II should be am
pie for 80 hens if kept clean and the
supply of earth, chaff or chopped straw
ample to bury completely all food and
keep the hens scratching. Some of
our most successful peultrymen allow
building II by 90 to every so hens,

depends upon the man. The majority

INCOME TAX.
Delay Interpreted to Mean an Adverse
Decision.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The delay
on the part of the Supreme Court in
rendering a decision on the constitu-
tlonality of the Income Tax is inter-
preted to mean that the decision will
be adverse 10 the tax. This would
create a deficiency in receipts to
carry on the government and an extra
session of Congress may be the result.

Marion Butler and Ohio Wilson, who

questions.
The edict went out last Summer
from Butler that they must not attend

The Poultry Beginners.

If you have notion of beginning
the poultry business, commence with
small flock and learn the ms and onts
from the ground up. 1t is mistake
that there is nothing to learn in the
successful handling Of fowls; that any
one without experience can start in the
business wholesale at once and make
it profitable, Many have tried it and
failed. If you find that you can make
a few hens pay you and you like the
business, then enlarge the flock.
