MERRIAM RAISES FOWLS.

Former Montgomerian Succeeding in
 Georgia.
 Albert Merriam. formerly well known hotel manager of Montgomery is meeting with great success raising chickens in Georgia.
 MT. Merriam was some time ago elect ed as an officer of bank in Griffin. Ga. and he and Mrs. Merriam removed there. He is still with the bank but devotes his spare time to raising poultry.
 The following telegram to The Macon Telegraph tells of MT. Merriams sue cess with chickens:
 Griffin, May Y-The Telegraph's con tention that rasing chickess will pay is proved by MT. Albert Merriam. assistant cashier of the Griffin Savings Bark. who has largc poultry farm on the south ern suburbs, at his beautiful home.
 MT. Merriam has only been raising chickens since last June. hut has already found them profitable, both as laying and selling the birds. It woud be almost impossible to estimate how many chicks he has from the wee broOds that have just been incubated or matched out, to the larger and fully matured fowls.
 He has ten pens of the finest breeds of poultry, and will make an exhibition at the State Fair at Macon this fall. His prize breed are Thompson Ringiets strain of Plymouth Rocks Hawkinss DoiAVu lS HlohNl ENbCl-S, Y lSHtt W illlt Plymouth Rocks and others registered, thoroughbreds. His chicken farm Is laid off in yards. and no two breeds ever get together, and those that are destined for the table hardly get sight of their aris- tocratic fellows. MT. Merriam informed The Telegraphs representation that, al though he had gone to considerable eX- pense. his fowls had paid him a return and in spite of the excellent luck that he had had he could not supply the de- mand. This looks as if chicken raising paid where it was properly conducted"
