BUYS The FOLLY
Stone Mansion Passes Into Pos
session of Harry Croft.
New Owner Is a Well Known
Ex-Jointist.
START CHICKEN FARM.
He Says That Is His Present
Intention.
He Will Begin Business With
1900 Fowls.

Stones Folly west of town, is to be
turned into a large chicken ranch
Yesterday Harry Croft an ex-Topeka
jointist, closed a deal with the Ameri-
can Bible society for the Stone property.
The purchase price is given as $4,000.
Croft Will at once go into the chicken
business on a large scale. His brother,
J. 3. Croft, will be associated with him.
The American Bible society took the
property in some years ago on a mort
gage and have been unable to unload it.
The mansion on theg rounds is three
stories with over 20 rooms. Since Croft
left Topeka two years ago he has been
in business at WamegO and st. MaryS
and has handled chickens on the side
There are 10 acres in the Stone property
and all will be used as the chicken
ranch. The big basement OF the build
ing has well lighted and cemented
rooms which will be used for the five
incubators. There will be four incu-
bators of 200 capacity and one of 800
capacity, making the output of the
machines, after they are well started
900 chickens a month.
Croft expects to place his chickens on
the market 80 days after they hatcn.
He will commence at once with a stock
of 1900 chickens which he raised at
his place near St. Marys. COOps and
pens viii be built at once to accOmmo-
date several thousand chickens Croft
will raise sorghum and feed the seed
to his chickens. A large bone mill and
a sand heating plant, which Croft has
had in use, will be set up at once. One
of Croft's reasons for locating in To-
peka was to be near the packing house
and butcher shops where he can secure
plenty of bones to be ground and fed to
chickens.
The best markets for Kansas grown
chickens are New York, Denver and
San Francisco and Croft expects to ship
out a car load a month Regular
chicken cars, holding 200 dozen chickens
will be used. Croft expects to fill half
the car with broilers that he raises, and
the few that it will be necessary for
him to buy, and the other half of the
car with chickens which he will buy
I'D from the farmers.

In Society.
A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-

they could realize the invigorating,

have, how much N isery could be
avoided.
