POULTRY.
The Two Hundred-egg Hen.

After several years of careful work
at Edgewood, endeavoring to raise the
standard of the f1ocks to an average of
200 eggs a year for each hen, the con-
clusion has been reached that a mis-
take has been made. The breeds Sc
lected were White Leghorns and
Barred Plymouth Rocks. It has been
found, more particularly with the
first-named breed, that after an aver
age of 165 or ITO eggs a year was OBJ
tained, the increase was gained at the
expense of the vitality of the birds.
This is not so noticeable with the
Plymouth Rocks, but even with them
the indications are that should they
reach the required number it must in
evitably be at the expense of vitality.
This experiment is given for what it is
worth and must not be accepted as
conclusive, for, as indicated with the
Plymouth Rocks, the heavier birds
may be able to stand the strain with
out injury. How to obtain and how
to hold the average of 200 eggs year
and still retain the vitality of the hen
is the question to be met and studied

lively engaged in the same line Of re-

The United States, with it's new terri,

The Philippines.

The total receipts at the customs
port of Manila for 1899 were $2,825, $50,
as compared to $2,1O9,54O for 1898; ST.
3S5,249 for 1894; $2,25S,324 for 1895; ST.
421, ,532 for 1895; and $2,916,870 for 1897.
The figures for 1898 are not given.
Those for 1899 are very satisfactory,
considering the fact that virtual
state Of war existed in the island of
Luzon during the entire year. But
after order shall have been fully re-
stored throughout the Philippine
archipelago, a marvellous era of de-
velopment will set in. which will
vastly increase the customs and in
ternal revenues, and which will in
all probability soon make the local
insular government self-supporting.
The transport Tartar, which arrived
from Manila, brought advices from
the islands up to March 6. One Of the
reports from Manila is that William
Odun, who is spoken of as a miner of
large experience, has returned from a
prospecting trip on the distant coast
of Vigan. He showed rich specimens
of gold, and declared that he had To-
Gated a ledge Of quartz as rich as
anything in Colorado or California. He
is organizing a company of ex-soldiers,
and will go into the mountain districts
of Vigan to secure claims. In an in
terview in the Manila Freedom, Odun
says: Never before did I see such
indications Of mineral wealth. have
travelled from Klondike to South
Africa, and I am convinced that there
is not much richer mineral country in
the world than the Island of Luzon."
Complying with a resolution of in
quiry, the President sent to the Sem
ate an itemized statement of the ex-
penditures of the Philippine Comis-
sion. The statement includes the fol-
lowing items: Compensation of $4,000
each to Commissioners Schurman,
Worcester and DENLY, 100000; per diem
allowances to commissioners after
their return to the United States, $52S5;
secretary to commission (compensa-
ton $500, per diem, $3660) $12,220;
transportation, $13,6S7; household ex-
penses in Manila, $9252: clerical serv-
ices, 1,7O1; miscellaneous, $14,99S; to-
tai, $117,185. The President also trans
mits with his Endorsement a recon-
mendation from Secretary Hay that
provision be made for payment to the
naval and military members of the
commission (Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Otis) at the same rate as that paid to
the other members. He says they
have received nothing for their serv-
ices in excess of their regular salaries

Business Chances in Manila" is the
title of a series of articles from a cor
respondent of Leslie's Weekly in the
Philippines, whose conclusions are
based upon a knowledge derived from
personal investigation. The chances"
to which he refers are for those with a
moderate yet necessary amount of cap
ital, and an adequate business training
to grasp and utilize them. Among the
openings which present themselves as
lucrative possibilities, he specifies: An
agency for American typewriting ma
chimes, for which there is growing de-
mand, but no adequate supply; an es-
tablishment for the sale of American
watches, with competent repairers; an
American shoe store; an American
hardware store, including in its stock
q supply of agricultural implements.

ban express route, for which there is
urgent need, and Photographic estab-
lishments, with skillful American oper-
ators. So much for those with neces-
sary capital and business abilities; but
for the American mechanic or laborer
the prospects are not encouraging. Chi
nese and native labor Is abundant and
cheap, and In the manual trades the
Filipino artisan Is sufficiently skilled.

4 Gard From Mr.. Starkc.

On leaving the school work in Farm
vile, Va, wish herewith to express
my appreciation and thanks to those
people Of the town and surrounding
country who gave me their sympathy
and co cooperation during the four year,
it was my pleasure to serve them.
The teacher makes the school; but
parents, 10y their cooperation, have
very much to do with the making OF
the teacher; so then it follows that
parents are greatly responsible for the
future Of the school.
70 those lending me their aid, !
would say, do even more for the new
principal, whoever he may be. To
those who were Indifferent, let me say
that such a position is unworthy OF
any true citizen, for in this age certain
~ education demands the most careful
consideration of all progressive citi-
zens then let this class become actively
engaged in building up the education
al interests of the town.
To those that criticized harshly before
they even knew all the circumstances
connected with the cause of their criti-
csm, | would say, there is "a more
excellent way Land do not be satisfied
until you have trl,d it.
Appreciative of the uniform kind
ness and cOurtesies Of friends and ac-
quaintances i'm and around Farmville,
it is not without feeling Of regret that
| leave: and shall often recall with
pleasure my association with the edu-
cational interests Of the place.

You can aid the "buttons" in their
good work, and as good citizens you
are under obligation to do so. "a
